Students with green-and-white picket signs gathered Thursday at the Administration Building asking passers-by to sign a petition that seeks to cap tuition costs.

A Facebook group called the Michigan State University Transparency and Accountability Initiative organized the protest, but representatives from the MSU Young Democratic Socialists also were present, among others. About 15 people were gathered (1) outside the building.

The petition is addressed to MSU President Lou Anna K. Simon and members of the MSU Board of Trustees and asks them to implement a 2 percent tuition increase cap for the 2009-10 academic year. The group fears an increase in tuition because of the proposed budget plan that would increase in-state tuition by 8.9 percent, which individually increases a student’s tuition bill by almost $462 per semester. The group plans to present the petition at the MSU Board of Trustees meeting scheduled for April 24.
