Drexel SDS launches Student Debt Survey!

At Drexel University, over 2/3 of students have $20,000+ in debt.

We need to figure out why – so we’re administering a survey to hundreds of Drexel students!
This is part of our campaign to win Student Debt Relief: towards a better future of our fellow students, and towards a better future for Drexel University.

Take this survey and help us understand what causes student debt – so we can eliminate it!

One easy step to put more money in your pocket.

90 SDS ACTIONS AROUND THE NATION

FOR THE FIFTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE WAR IN IRAQ

THOUSANDS OF YOUTH DEMAND STUDENT POWER

DREXEL, UPENN, + PHILLY SDS LAUNCH NEW CAMPAIGN

This week, over 90 chapters of Students for a Democratic Society took action to end the war in Iraq and hold our universities and elected officials accountable to the student power agenda.

Locally, Philadelphia SDS busted into the Wharton business school, celebrated the Drexel Dragon, and hollered at Penn University President Amy Gutman’s campus mansion with a mobile soundsystem and a 35 student dance party. Singing “Drop Debt, Not Bombs”, alongside booming speakers, Students for a Democratic Society launched their two-campus effort to unite Penn and Drexel students for a university commitment to debt relief.

You bring the friends, we bring the funk!

FUNK THE WAR with Philadelphia Students for a Democratic Society on March 21st as we dance through Penn and Drexel Universities to demand an end to war and student debt! We are celebrating the launch of our Drexel and Penn chapters with a sonic boom for the 5th anniversary of the War in Iraq. Across the nation, Students for a Democratic Society is holding walk outs, nonviolent actions for student power, peace, and affordable education.

The $500 billion dollar war in Iraq has been paid for with cuts in education and student aid. A struggling economy, rising tuition, predatory loan companies and expensive textbooks have shouldered more than 2/3 of students with an average of $19,000 in individual debt. Universities should be actively rejecting the Federal cuts to education by funding loan education programs, providing more need based financial aid, freezing tuition, and creating more opportunities for low income students.
