Hey everybody, it's been a while. Are you mad that most college students won't receive a federal stimulus check to cover expenses during the pandemic? Then check out this message from OUFF:
Not related to the budget crisis but: HEADS UP if you file your own taxes and can claim federal income tax exemption the blank has been removed and you should request filing instructions from your employer! It’s not clear how to claim this without instructions
Fun Fact: way back in like 2014 Student Senate did a poll of OU students asking what their top concerns about OU were. The top four answers?
Cost of tuition
Student debt
Quality of academics
Administrative compensation
Some things never change!
Fun Fact: Good news! OU reported about $10 million more than expected this fiscal year! What will the money go to? Student services? Prof salaries? Research? Or how bout a new Asst. Vice Dean of Spending 10 million bucks?
Video of how OU Board of Trustees meeting looks now. Faculty with @OU_AAUP joined by some students with @ufunfacts, protesting University spending priorities amid budget difficulties.
Ha BoT just opened their meeting by saying that because they are committed to dialogue and exchange of ideas, audience members are not allowed to speak
Just a reminder that we are raising money on GoFundMe so we can make more flyers, plan more rallies and other events! Any little bit helps! https://t.co/Zng1uRuqcO
