As a student tuition increases are the last thing I can handle right now.  Oregon needs me and all my classmates to get out of this fiscal crisis.  If we really want to talk about solutions we need to talk about affordable and accessible universities and community colleges. If we lose students because school is too expensive and financial aid, especially for low-income Oregonians, decreases we are never going to draw new business and innovation which is what we need to rebuild our economy.
