Petition for Western Michigan University to Ease Financial Burden
Western Michigan University to encourage their students to achieve excellence through distance learning. Students have suffered a pretty heavy hit with COVID-19. Reducing summer prices will ease some finical barren we might be experiencing at the moment.
Why is this important?
“All of members of community have suffered due the COVId-19. Students have been impacted in numerous ways:
• Changing instructional distance learning
• Loss of employment,
• Loss of housing
• Loss of social and academic support
• Grieving and mourning COVID related losses and illness
• Many students were not eligible for the stimulus check nor unemployment
• Loss of access to campus provided internet
• Loss of access to printing
• Loss of graduation ceremony and graduation related activities
Western Michigan University only provided $40 off the tuition for Summer I which would not even cover the cost of internet for a household in lieu of accessing WMU’s campus as par of our usual tuition.
SIGN HERE to ask WMU and President Montgomery to provide more substantial financial relief to students! Universities should support their student and faculty community, not add hardship to hardship!
