Have Pitt Lower Tuition for the 2020-2021 School Year

The Issue

In these challenging times, most students still are going to college. However, this year’s experience will not be like other years. Extracurriculars, school events, and other Pitt activities will be mostly virtual or in some cases, cancelled. Sports seasons will be probably be mostly nonexistent, and students will mainly be taking classes online. The college experience is drastically reduced. Not to mention that many students find online learning less effective and are losing the benefits of being in the classroom. Plus, many students could take classes at other institutions (community colleges, online-only colleges, etc) for a fraction of the cost Pitt is demanding. Lastly and most importantly, with many students and families experiencing financial hardship, lowering tuition would be a weight off of their minds. Pitt, I urge you to consider this, and Pitt students, please lend your support of this petition.
