AZ Tuition Hearings

Tonight i got to stand up in front of hundreds of people and share my story about trying get a higher education while being a mom and and a wife to a vet. I got to tell others stories about how they pay both their tuition and the tuition of their children, and about how, when these tuition increases go up, they are going to have to give up their education so that they can pay for their children. This is something that students of no age should have to chose. The horrible part is that everything I said, all of the stories I have told, they will not matter, because the ABOR do not have a choice but to allow tuition to be raised, the state has cut back our funding to the point where if they did not raise tuition than we would not be able to have the great education that we are currently recieving, that is of course if the University was still able to stay open. Arizona Legislatures need to get their heads out of their asses and realize that the universities and the students that go to these universities are the future of our state, without them this state will continue to fail, the economy will continue to decline, and people will not want to live here or raise a family here. What would the state do then I wonder, I do not know, and I would rather not find out.
