Make Owl Tutoring Free for FAU Students


Make Owl Tutoring Free for FAU Students
The Issue
Summary
FAU students deserve the best possible tutoring. Although Owl Tutoring has helped thousands of Owls since 2008, it is not affordable to everyone as it is a private business unaffiliated with FAU ($60/hour or up to $199 for course videos). If Owl Tutoring were a part of FAU, their services could be made free for students!
About Owl Tutoring - www.OwlTutoring.com
- Started on FAU campus in 2008 by Neil Parsont
- Hired and trained dozens of FAU students as tutors
- Offers private tutoring and custom course videos
- Helped thousands of students in their courses
About Neil Parsont
- Promotes "Learning through understanding, not memorizing"
- Earned both undergrad and MBA degrees from FAU
- Tutors students from middle school through Ph.D.
Main Problem
Quality tutoring should NOT only be available to privileged students, but to everyone!
Current Situation
Parsont wants to work with FAU but the feeling does not seem mutual. In fact, FAU recently filed a lawsuit against Owl Tutoring (Dec. 2019) alleging trademark infringement. Settlement negotiations failed and Owl Tutoring was forced to fight back and defend its right to support education.
We the undersigned think FAU should stop this legal battle and bring Owl Tutoring on campus to make it free for students!
