Student Activism: Close to Home
“This is the year to sock it
to the Administration.”
From The Sheaf, October 1913 |
|
Students have been vocal critics of the University administration and
policies affecting them; and have as well, sided with the University
against perceived external threats. Protests close to home have included
protesting tuition increases and the student loan system; the parking
situation on campus; and arguing for University autonomy and in particular,
for more student participation in University affairs.

In 1965 the SRC passed a resolution against universal
accessibility, stating in part that “tuition fees have the effect
of a ‘bond of intent;’ while nevertheless advocating student
participation on university budget committees and stressing there was
a “certain sum tuition fees should not exceed.” (The Greystone,
1966)
