Scroggs to sign 2,000th More for Less campaign letter
The Missouri Students Association's efforts paid off as they collected more than 1,900 letters signed by MU students opposing higher education budget cuts.
Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Cathy Scroggs said she will sign the campaign's 2000th letter 12:25 p.m. Tuesday in the MU Student Center, according to an MSA news release.
MSA's letter writing campaign launched Monday in the student center as a response to Gov. Jay Nixon's proposed cuts of 12.5 percent. These cuts would leave MU with $45 million less in state funding than last year, the release stated.
MSA is also voicing its dissent through Twitter, using the hashtag #moreforless.
MSA and the Associated Students of the University of Missouri will be sending the letters to students' state representatives and senators. Other UM schools are also participating.
