<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">I hope you all had a great weekend. I wanted to inform you all that Bill SB 86 will be heard in Senate Education Committee on March 9th at 3:30PM. In summary, this bill proposes limiting state
funding (via Bright Futures) for students that do not choose certain “market-driven” degrees.

degree programs that lead directly to employment.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0cm;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Beginning in the 2022-2023 academic year, the state would limit eligibility for state financial program to 60 hours unless a student is
enrolled in a program on the list of market driven degree programs. <o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:11.0pt">Representatives from FSU Office of Governmental Affairs will be making a public appearance at the Civic center on March 9<sup>th</sup> to voice their disapproval of this bill. I wanted to inform
you all on this matter and let you know that you are welcome to fill out a public appearance card and bring it to the Civic Center on March 9<sup>th</sup>, found here (<a href="https://www.flsenate.gov/UserContent/Committees/CommitteeAppearanceForm.pdf">https://www.flsenate.gov/UserContent/Committees/CommitteeAppearanceForm.pdf</a>
) You can waive your right to speak and indicate that you are against the bill or you can speak socially distanced at the Civic Center. This is a chance to voice your opinions to the Florida Senators. I am personally against this bill because it will only
add government control of what students are learning. College should be about free thinking and pursuing the degree you want, not the one the state will pay for. I understand that there is a student debt problem, but I do not believe this is the way to solve
it. I believe diversity makes our country strong and this applies to a diversity of knowledge as well. Obviously these bills contain a lot more information so I encourage you all to read up on it for yourselves before establishing an official opinion. I will
be keeping you all updated on Office of Governmental Affairs work to give you guys the option to participate and voice your opinions to our elected officials.
