I’m guessing this will be considered an unpopular opinion but if the school is no longer offering the services you want why not change schools?

No, it's a good point. Many students are transferring, but just as many don't have that option, and their educational success is going to be severely impacted by this move. It's for those students we're fighting this.

I think that’s easier said than done for a lot of folks. Aside from UVM these are the only public colleges in the state. Even with how poorly we fund these public colleges, they are still the cheapest/most convenient option for many Vermont residents.

Exactly so. Some of the people I've spoken to hate everything that's happening but are tied to VSU through financial aid or residency-based scholarships, or just can't afford the extra costs of attending school out of state.
