The event starts at 5 p.m. and will feature three local bands as well as dedicate time for students to express how tuition and debt has affected them.

According to their press release, LESS-T aims to increase awareness of how tuition and fees are determined by the university and get more students involved in the process. They are also working with the ASUO to set up a student Tuition and Fee advisory committee to make suggestions to the Oregon University System.

“Tuition has been going up for decades and has doubled in just the last 10 years.  Student Debt has skyrocketed past $1 Trillion and something needs to be done,” according to LESS-T’s press release for the event.

More information can be found on the event’s Facebook page.
