Oswego State Junior Winthrop Jones Speaks Out
I tried to register for fall classes this Easter weekend. Surprisingly MyOswego wouldn’t let me sign up for any classes. With the increase of tuition and current budget cuts I have so many holds on my account I can’t afford to pay them all off.
Unfortunately my parents, whose salaries have also been affected, renders them unable to help me pay off any of my dues. Their budget has been tailored to the previous tuition prices.
These budget cuts have unquestionably put a great deal of stress on student registrations for 2010. Clicking and early advisement appointments really don’t help students anymore. And with all the hustle and bustle on MyOswego the server keeps crashing. I might not get in any classes next year.
Truthfully I think that although parents and families will be able to deal with tuition hikes. But it is chilling to think about the state/country’s willingness to cut educational and how it will negatively impact students’ desires to gain knowledge. How will students want to learn and grow when they cannot take any courses of interest?
Be advised that this is part of an Alternate Reality Game developed as a class project.
