The Jambar

The "tax" is actually a student fee, which is actually part of a scheduled tuition increase that you're going to have to pay anyway. This way at least $12 a semester actually goes back to your fellow students. If you're going to advertise this facebook group, please also advertise this one:

which explains the fee in more understandable terms.

Personally, I think it'd be wonderful if more students could afford to attend conferences and participate in research projects. Dr. Yates thankfully received a grant to do mathematical biology research (MBUR) the same year I wanted to start doing it, and the grant has also allowed us to do conferences, so I've been lucky. However, were it not for this opportunity, I'd have had to go to Pitt, or Case, or Carnegie Mellon, and hope to be accepted into a project there. More people apply to these than get in (even YSU's MBUR program), and it's a shame that students interested in these things may never actually get the opportunity to follow through.

It's also a shame for YSU - students that could be presenting potentially novel projects in their own fields aren't getting the chance, and the publicity YSU could be receiving is going down the drain. And how many music/art/drama majors really get to create and produce something all by themselves? How many writers/journalism majors would like to publish an article outside of the Jambar but have no other open source? How many students would like to read a campus newspaper OTHER than the Jambar (I know I would)? And I'd like to see more programs come out of the Computer Science department (has anyone seen Epic Duel?)...

This funding helps everyone. Not just the writers that get the chance to publish a little article, but the people who might benefit from reading it. Not just the music majors who can afford to throw an additional concert, but the audience that gets to enjoy it. Not just the biology major that presents a paper on cell division at a national conference, but the cancer patient that benefits from the effects of this new knowledge. And all of this could come from YSU. For the $12 a semester that you'd already have to pay.

Why would you want that money going anywhere else?

Apparently my first comment was deleted. How strange.
