Students rally support for "Got Tuition?" at VP debate
Fontbonne University education majors and student organizers David Dickerson and Sharon Atlas joined "Got Tuition?" tonight at the public viewing area outside the vice presidential debate at Washington University in St. Louis and canvassed those gathered to support our campaign.
As a result, 245 students, parents and grandparents signed the "Got Tuition?" petition asking federal and state elected leaders to make college education more affordable for more students and put on "Got Tuition?" t-shirts to raise awareness of college affordability as a national issue in 2008.
With college costs skyrocketing, and little help from the government, university students and their families are having to deal with rising tuition rates on their own. Here at 'got tuition?' students, educators, recent grads and parents will post their stories about their struggles with college debt, and explain how policymakers should work to ensure that paying for higher education doesn't become a path to permanent debt or bankruptcy.
