The Issue

As a university of Pittsburgh student, we are watching the administration admit way too many students purely for more money (over admitted 450 freshman). 

instead of rectifying this by fixing the amount of people they admit, Pitt wants to turn the historic and loved William Pitt Union into dorms.

 

We as a student body 1. Do not want more people admitted. 2. Absolutely do not want the WPU to be converted and 3. Want the administration to focus on current student life instead of admitting more students than they can handle. 

Leave WPU alone.
