AN OPEN LETTER TO UCM STUDENTS: YOUR ROLE IN THE CURRENT BUDGET CRISIS - Jacque Flanagan Managing Editor, The University of Central Missouri,

It is imperative that every student at UCM attend this open forum and reject the premise that students should not be actively involved in the budget process. As the state continues to cut our budget, we must consider students the primary shareholders of the University of Central Missouri. If we find that our inputs into this higher education system return only broken guarantees and great burdens of student debt with no such democratic representation in the halls of our institution; it is our duty to reject the premise of those halls and demand and forge a system that works for all. To demand and forge a system that refuses to sacrifice the well-being and economic opportunity of one student for the advancement of another. http://www.digitalburg.com/muleskinner/an-open-letter-to-ucm-students-your-role-in-the-current-budget-crisis/
