To: Willie J. Hagan, President and Governor Gavin Newsom
We want our financial aid!
End this backward and archaic system that affects our Financial Aid students. We are the only University Campus in California that has these problems with receiving our aid. Late aid affects us greatly and it needs to end now! We want change! We call for the dismissal of Brian Thiele, Kathy Elkins, Valerie Armstrong, Delores L. Lee. We also call for our President Willie Hagan to address this issue immediately!
Why is this important?
I am a current senior at Cal State University Dominguez Hills and for the past three years, my aid has been held up by the Financial Aid Department and Student Financial Services Department. Every year, it has been a struggle to receive aid before classes begin which has put me behind in purchasing books, school supplies, and preparing for the upcoming school year. Thousands of financial aid students struggle academically and financially due to the incompetence of these two departments.
