DEAL
continued from page 1
worse," Jarvis said. "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."
