N early three years ago full-tim e students w ere kicked o ff the plan to save O regon money. Past budge, cuts caused the drop o f m edical coverage. “T he O regon Student A ssocia tion (O SA ) has fought for two years to obtain this positive victory for O regon co lleg e stu d e n ts," said OSA E xecutive D irector Ed D en nis. "T his is ju s, one exam ple o f how student’s lobbying efforts have paid o ff in the legislature during the last session.” Now students are slow ly regain ing the right to coverage. Changes also affect the criteria for part- time students. Part-tim es who meet the m inim um reso u rce re q u ire ments can get back on the plan also.
