PSU Restructuring - Get Informed and TAKE ACTION!

PSU's administration is considering restructuring the university as a "publicly-held private corporation." This means that all governance on campus will be centralized under an unelected board of directors that will not be accountable to the students, faculty, or the public. The proposal, as it stands, will most likely result in tuition being raised and departments being cut with no limits in place to protect students.

In this new model, the bottom line would be HIGH PROFITS, not QUALITY EDUCATION.

  • Why hasn't the administration sought student or faculty input on the restructuring plan?
  • Why is there no tuition cap in place to protect students?
  • Why has Oregon funding for higher education declined by 44% in the past 15 years, while funding has increased by 50%?
