There is nothing I am more interested in and passionate about than the topic of social justice.

This past April, Ohio University was filled with the sound of students standing up for their right to education. An education that is both affordable for the students and one where tuition money is well-spent on the needs of those paying students. Over the past year, the tuition has been raised twice at OU. The first was last school year when it was raised 3.5%, but what was more shocking than just this tuition raise was the subsequent pay raise of the highest paid faculty at the University within days of the tuition hike. 

Students took a stand against the unfair tuition hike and the even more atrocious pay raise of those faculty making over six figures. Speaking out, telling their stories, and asking other students to take a stand as well, the protestors marched through the streets and paraded around President McDavis' house.
