Hello, my name is Jonathan. I am the student body president at Portland State University.

Ok, so we are going to privitize the universities unless we repeal measures 5,11, and 57 they simply put a vice on the state general fund and do not provide for enough money for universities to survive.

However what about following the RAM model for dispursement of funds for Higher education. The state board of education decided not to follow this model and subsitized the regional universities (eastern, western, southern, etc.) with money that usually goes to the "big three" (psu, osu, uo). If we were to follow our model we may not need to privitize so quickly.
