Hello everyone,

As many of you may know, Cal Poly has decided to keep tuition rates the same for spring quarter even though campus resources will not be available to students. I have emailed the administration about this, and although the gym, health center and UU will not be open, we will still be paying fees for these resources. Me and some other Cal Poly students think that this is unfair, especially because many students won’t be able to work because of Covid-19. The cost of tuition is already so high, making it the same for online classes is definitely taking advantage of the students who have no other option. Unless Cal Poly gives a good reason for tuition to be so high when we are not even able to access the campus I believe their motivations are purely selfish and aimed towards monetary gain. As there are many students at Cal Poly with economic disadvantages, including me, I know that having online classes has already negatively impacted many people. I think Cal Poly should be trying their best to help students in any way possible during this tumultuous time. If you would like to make a difference in many students lives, please sign this petition.
