We need your help!

On Thursday, January 28th at 1:30 p.m. Senator Boehnke has sponsored a bill that would cause students to repay ALL financial aid if determined to have caused "significant monetary damage" to their institution. If a student is involved in a protest and deemed to have caused serious damage to property, they'll be court-ordered to repay all of their financial aid.

Currently, our institutions have codes of conduct that determine and punish property damage, and repayment of state aid is an incredibly drastic consequence and only impacts low-income students reliant on financial aid. We find this to be unfair and dangerous to students.

Express your opinion!! Sign in CON to SB 6259 before 1:30 p.m.

You've now successfully helped protect low-income students from incurring unnecessary financial debt. I do not support property damage to our university, but if this bill became law tomorrow, the definitions & powers to force students to repay financial aid is dangerous and left heavily up to interpretation. Let's prevent that future by showing legislators how we feel.
