Last Wednesday, the Bowdoin Student Government (BSG) held its third assembly meeting of the year at the Roux Center for the Environment.
The meeting covered the main priorities for the year, including building transparency and communication with the Bowdoin community, planning a Halloween event, and discussing the tuition increase.
Regarding the tuition increase, Elliot Ewell '27 spoke about a plan to raise concerns with the Board of Trustees.
“There’s a Board of Trustees meeting next week where … Harper [Stevenson '27] and I will be going…, and we’re given time to speak, and I would like to open something about tuition in a very respectful but still forceful way of being [like], ‘Hey, students are concerned about this,’”Ewell said. Members agreed to pressure College administrators for more transparency on the spike, which is the highest since the 1980s.
