First Day of "Students Can't Afford Jim Nussle" Campaign

Our campaign to hold Jim Nussle accountable for his cuts to the student loan program is off to a great start! We got close to 100 signatures on our petition in our first day, and that was with just two people asking students on campus. Tomorrow we plan to have many more out on campus collecting signatures.

Also tomorrow, we will hold a press conference at 10am in Olmsted (at Pomerantz Stage) to announce to the media all of our plans for the campaign, and to explain just how much Jim Nussle's cuts hurt Drake students. We found the average amount a Drake student will pay more thanks to the new interest rate: $1,540!

We will also be having a meeting on the student loan cuts this Wednesday, at 9pm, at Pomerantz Stage in Olmsted. We'll be discussing how much this will affect us, and organize students for our upcoming events to protest Nussle. Keep checking back throughout the week for more updates!
