  • Start an Independent Entrepreneurship Institute at Binghamton University
    53.6 percent of all new college graduates are either underemployed or completely unemployed. Recognizing that new companies, commonly referred to as startups, are responsible for all net job creation in the United States, entrepreneurship education must become a key part of higher education strategies. Next week, Professor Ken McLeod will talk to President Stenger about establishing an Independent Entrepreneurship Institute at Binghamton University, so that students of all years and majors have the opportunity to learn about innovation and entrepreneurship as a path to success. We are calling on President Stenger to seize this opportunity and create the next generation of innovators that will restore the Southern Tier to greatness and thrust Binghamton University into national prominence.

  • Save Kansas Education
    Kansas public schools are operating on budgets equal to the money that was available to them in the 1990's. After reckless anti-tax legislation was passed in the Kansas House on Wednesday, May 9th, Education funding will likely be on the chopping block again. We are calling upon our state legislators and Governor Brownback to reject these irresponsible tax cuts that will create deficits which will lead to further reductions in education funding. Education funding needs to be RESTORED, NOT CUT!

  • Open CU dive well to qualified divers
    University of Colorado at Boulder Recreation Center has been so restrictive with regard to its diving boards, that it's preventing potential Olympic athletes from progressing. Indeed, the CU Boulder rec center has nearly transformed the dive well into the water polo well, because they are so afraid to allow access to the 3m diving boards. In the 1980s and 90s US Olympic divers were among the best. But facilities like CU need to set an example & encourage young athletes, not prevent them.

  • Superintendent Huppenthal, Stop attacking Mexican American Studies & reinstate TUSD's MAS program
    Huppenthal has eliminated a successful Mexican American Studies in Tucson Unified School District, and is now calling for a ban on Mexican American Studies in AZ's public universities. The state should not be telling students what they cannot read and professors what they cannot teach. We provide asylum to students and professors in whose countries books, curriculum, and ideas are banned. Huppenthal's actions violate the most basic spirit of our country’s founding principles.

  • No Child Left Behind?
    Children at 5 years can begin school as a Kindergartener as long as their birthday is BEFORE September 1st of that school year. This has been going on for years and it is not fair. If a child is going to be 5 years old that school year, they should be allowed to start school with everyone else instead of being held back a year.

  • Save Cal Grants
    The Cal Grant program helps thousands of students attend college each year, and the new plan to raise the GPA minimum would derail over 26,600 students. Denying financial aid to these individuals would greatly increase California’s dropout rate, creating problems that extend far beyond the education system.
