As student of The University of Texas at Arlington, it was extremely disappointing when the news came out that the UTA Central Library, as well as other locations, will now have a new schedule.

The UTA Central Library has always been a great environment for hundreds of thousands of students. It is one of our most valuable resources. A lot of student have come out and said that having a library open 24/7 is one of the biggest reasons why they decided to call UTA home. On top of all of this, the college has not given us a single good or valid reason as to why make such a dramatic change.

Recently, UTA announced a new college campus in Fort Worth or what they’re calling UTA’s “Westward Expansion.” Adding the increase in tuition cost due to “Project 2030” it is clear to see that cost is not a valid reason as to why reduce the library’s hours.

The library is a crucial part of student’s academic and social success.

During these times of many split opinions, it is time for us to come together as students, parents, teachers, or whoever you may be to come together for one cause. SIGN, SHARE, SHARE
