"That led to bigger cuts and bigger tuition to fill in those cuts." Jarvis said OUS sought tuition in creases to compensate for the lowered amount of state support and to keep up the quality of education for all Oregon students. "We did the best we could for the most amount of students," Jarvis said. He said there was obviously a downside to the increase in tuition costs: less accessibility for needy stu dents. "We aren't happy about that," Jarvis said. "I'm glad that our tuition re quests were supported, but I'm sorry we had to make that decision." Oregon Student Association Leg islative Director Melissa Unger said OUS should concentrate more on ac cessibility and the affordability of higher education rather than just the quality of education. "We need to focus on getting the state to be an equal partner in higher education," Unger said. "The conver sation should be about access and af fordability." She added that OUS was also trying to gain too much control over tuition with the deal, saying OUS sought to have more say in determining tuition costs with the deal's plan. Currently, the state Legislature con trols tuition and can set caps on rising costs. "OSA lobbied to make sure that legislators keep control of tuition, because students can elect those rep resentatives," Unger said. OUS offi cials, on the other hand, are not elected, she said. Former State Board of I ligher Edu cation member Tim Young worked with OlIS when the deal was still seen as a possibility. "As a student board member, I agreed with the deal because the state has such little financial stake in the university system, yet they wield so much control," Young said. Young, a graduate student in pub lic affairs, said the state has been "ir responsible with the stake of young students." He added that there needs to be more long-term cooperation be tween the state and universities to make higher education more avail able to potential students. However, he said the lack of fund ing by the state for the next biennium will hurt many students. "The State of Oregon gave up on students a long time ago," Young said. Now that the deal is no more, high er education in Oregon has a bumpy road ahead. larvis said there are a few core issues that need attention: In creasing financial aid for students, in creasing faculty salaries and finding funds to enact much-needed mainte nance on University buildings. "We're down to basic needs," Jarvis said. "It's easy to focus on new initia tives, but when you take cuts your core business falls under pressure." Jarvis said OUS is facing multi-year problems that are not going to be fixed in the next legislative session. "Students, faculty and staff are bear ing a big cost this biennium with fac ulty forgoing raises and students hav ing higher tuition," Jarvis said. "We can't keep on going this way."
