President Jackson has low regard for students

by Luke Fisher

I had the honor of speaking to our esteemed university president Tom Jackson at the Native American forum in the West Gym during the Big Time event on Saturday, April 8 – boy, do I wish I had recorded our conversation.

I went up to him and said, “Mr. President, don’t you think you should build more dorms before you kick all the current students off campus?”

He got upset and responded, “You’re full of crap, get your facts straight.”

I believe I do have my facts straight, Mr. President. Things have only mildly improved since you first made the big announcement that all current students would be kicked off campus. Now, only most of us are getting kicked off campus. There will be some on-campus housing for current students, but the majority of it will be for incoming freshmen. I guess those freshmen dol- lars look real good to you.

A cap on admissions would also be a good idea, because this school can not adequately house or serve the influx of students that has been projected. Having a student body of 12,000 students by 2027 is neither sustainable nor smart given the current capacity of our school. Build more housing first and then you can consider growing the student body.

Tom Jackson reminded me of our disgusting former president Donald Trump today because they’re both only concerned about money and optics.

So nice to know that we have a real sympathetic man of the people as university president!
