Petition to Lower Tuition Costs in Nebraska
To Governor Heineman and the President and Board of Trustees of the Universities of Nebraska,
Our nation is now currently mired in a debt crisis than threatens to engulf each and every American. So deep does the crisis run that at all levels the need for financial reform is manifest. Institutions, corporations, small business, and even the average citizen are now facing the risk of falling prey to economic downturn. In one area in particular, education, the effect of this downturn is devastating.
We, the people of Nebraska, implore you to ease the financial burden put upon so many of us by making education more affordable. By lowering tuition costs, you can give more people the opportunity to pursue higher education and help ease the staggering student loan debt which is crippling so many millions of Americans. Please, we urge you to act now.

Why is this important?
This petition is an effort to convince Governor Heineman and heads of Nebraska Universities to lower tuition costs statewide. By lowering tuition costs we can open up educational opportunities to disadvantaged students and ease the student loan debt for those post-college.
