We pay good money in tuition and student fees. Shouldn't our basic needs to succeed, like dependable and functional technology, be met?
Why is this important?
I am a student at UH Manoa and there is no adequate appropriation for student technology on campus. We constantly battle with the other students to use a computer or to print a paper (which we pay for separately). Our basic needs should be able to be met with the funds that we provide. The budget needs to be re-examined to allow for: computers that don't shut down in the middle of operation, hardware that can read my flash drive, wiring that can sustain a connection to the printer, etc.
