For many of us, this is not our first year serving the students of OU. In the past, we have prided ourselves on working with the administration to make the university a better, more student-centered environment. We have striven for fairness, inclusion and participation in regard to decision making. By coming to our general body meeting and lying to student representatives, the administration made it clear that they do not share these goals. By giving almost $500,000 worth of raises to the 10 highest-paid administrators this year, they showed that students are not their priority.

I am the mother of a young man in his senior year of undergraduate studies who is currently applying to medical schools. We live in a suburb of Cleveland, where both my son and I were born and raised. In other words, we are Ohioans. Ohio University has a wonderful reputation as a great medical school and naturally, my son put it on his short list of schools to apply to.
