According to Murray, issues concerning tuition are controlled by the Board of Regents. "Legislature doesn't control tuition increases," he said.
He said Republicans froze tuition at the current level, and holding tuition occurs directly or indirectly. A considerable amount of money has already been put into the budget in support of the WHEG programs, and looking at the dollars to the WHEG programs is important, Murray said.
"It's important to keep cost down any way possible," junior Colin Hall said about the bill. "Honestly, if there was a way to keep it down, why wouldn't they?"
During the postcarding event, Bretl said the turnout was going pretty well. "We've been doing it for about an hour and have had 100 postcards filled out," she said. "We hope other campuses have as much success."
Looking ahead, the council's next event will address the Compassionate Care for Rape Victims Bills. However, Bretl said, the WHEG Indexing Bill was a big one and she hopes the students will be heard.
"Education should be a right to all American citizens," Skalitzky said. "Why are we limiting?"
