University Issues Sarah supports:
-
Operating Safely with COVID-19: The University must promote operations in a manner that allows them to facilitate in-person learning safely.
-
Free Speech: Republican and Conservative voices on campus are consistently mocked and stymied, even to the point of being banned. Sarah will ensure the First Amendment rights of every student are protected.
-
Lower Tuition: Tuition costs are out of control. Sarah will not only work to make college affordable, but rein in out of control spending.
