session However, lawmakers discovered a fiscal surplus of nearly
two million dollars in the final days of the session.
The Oregon Senate placed this money into the Oregon Need Grant
fund. Tfte Oregon Need Grant awards more than $12 million to in.000
Oregon students each year
The Legislature, under advice from Calouri's committee, created
a formula that would supplement the lost funds of the students
attending Oregon private colleges, while taking money away from
students attending public institutions.
The Oregon Student Lobby and some members of the Oregon
Legislature are against this reasoning Many feel the f’LSK. fund
was eliminated Iwcause it was no longer needed.
"This is wrong, dead wrong." said Robert Nosse. Oregon Student
Lobby executive director "I realize that private college tuition is going
up. but in the last three years public: education tuition has increased
over 50 percent.
