Heather Hollier, arts and sciences representative and communications junior, asked Jones whether the steering committee brought any scenarios that did not include a tuition increase. Jones said they did not. Brandon Thibodeaux, newly elected business school representative and business management freshman, expressed concern over the proposal. The university is like a corporation and we are the stockholders. When stockholders are pissed they can do something.
Some people are here by the hook and crook of their teeth.
Ryan Holmes, SGA president and music education senior, and Jones sit on several board committees that will ultimately decide on the increase. Jones said though administrators outnumber them, they still have a voice. The Board of Trustees will vote on the proposal at their Nov. 15 meeting.
