DID YOU KNOW? The FAU Board of Trustees intends to close the Fort Lauderdale campus in order to save a mere 1.9 million. This amount could easily be made up by adding high demand courses to the campus. The FAU administration and Board of Trustees is consolidating academic programs on the Boca campus ultimately removing the presence of the designated lead state university for Broward County. The legislative money allocated to Broward County is being used to support the Palm Beach campuses. Nine hundred undergraduate and graduate students take classes on the downtown campus in professional disciplines including: Architecture Communication (Film, Video, Journalism, Animation, New Media) Graphic Design Urban & Regional Planning The faculty, staff, and students bring a dynamic presence to the downtown area. The Florida Public Archeology Network, Outward Bound, and Small Business Development Center also make their home at the FAU downtown campus.

Schools all across our nation are refusing to let specially educated students (Children with down syndrome in particular) actively participate in sporting events. "We the People" are here to stand up for our nations next generations.

To have the student loan forgiveness act passed to relieve debt of student through Wi and the entire USA.

Do politicians hate trade schools because their students are blue collar workers?

We are proposing a petition that would haul government officials from making on-going budget cuts on colleges and universities in America. Our research has shown that the budget cuts have worsened the situation of saving money rather then making it better. By making classes bigger due to the high amount of professors being laid off, a lot of students have not received the best education that they deserve. We believe that the best investment a human-being can make is to invest in their education because this is a tool that has no replacement. Everyone should have the right to a strong education without having to worry about the monetary payments that come with it.

Stop or change the FCAT, and the new scoring system which will affect many children!

Education with Virginia teachers are facing a very difficult budget cut. Teachers have not had a raise in 5 years. We are calling on a stand to give a raise or a big amount of a BONUS to make up for the tough, hard economy.

People who owe more than 20,000 on Student Loans, have not been able to pay them for over 10 years, and have been unable to pay them because they just don't make enough money, should have their loans forgiven. Currently, their is a limit on how many deferences due to economic hardship a graduate can get and forbearance just makes the loan worse because they capitalize the interest thus increasing the loan!

Torrence-Lytle High School in Huntersville, NC was build tin 1937, had only one principal, Isaac T. Graham and one librarian, Esther S. Johnson. In 1966, the only school for blacks in the northern end of Mecklenburg County was closed. Today it has the designation of a historic landmark but some buildings may be slated for demolition because refurbishing them will cost millions. Several companies have created plans to buy the site but none were successful. We're seeking individuals who believe that this site should be saved and brought back to its original character where individuals of all nationalities can walk the sacred halls of my Alma mater.

The School Reform Commission(SRC) that was created to protect public education in Philadelphia has been leading it down a path of ruin and destruction since it was formed. Their latest decision is to close 40 more schools many of which will convert to charters. We must save public education in Philadelphia. Every school can be a great school if it is supported. The SRC is supposed to protect the school system not sell it off.

This petition is about the harassment of companies when you are already making a financial obligation towards the student loan and they still want to garnish your wages
