Student Government President Emma Zellmer says that a chief concern of MSU’s student body is the ongoing student debt crisis. “We have students who are at this institution that at no point in their lifetimes would have had the opportunity that our parents did, where the state legislature was funding our education, 67%, now they’re right around that 50%, Here at Mankato it’s even less,” Zellmer said. From here the board will take the given concerns to present to the rest of the Minnesota State System, at which point funding and budget changes will be decided.
