Students from Kentucky’s public universities will rally for higher education in Frankfort Feb. 13 at 1 p.m.
According to Student Government Association President Aaron Vance, the rally is being held to fight state budget cuts to higher education. One goal is to hold the Kentucky Lottery accountable for fulfilling its required funding of higher education in Kentucky as a part of the Powerball Promise. Recently, lottery funding has been diverted from need-based scholarships.
“In order to reverse this trend, we, as students, are taking action,” a petition on the event’s Facebook page says.
