Very proud of these 1537 students that had the foresight to realize that this will not only benefit their university, but also themselves. Way to go guys!

Awesome! They will not regret the investment.

Why this is huge. Consider this. What if 12,000 (my guess at the number of students that take 15 hours or more) alumni announced tomorrow that they were each going to give over $225 annually in capital contributions to the University to further campus facilities. In other words, the University will receive a capital contribution of over 2,000,000.00 every semester.

This is huge indeed. Great news indeed. Now if alumni make a similar contribution we would really be on our way.

Thumbs up students!!!

Good to know a majority of students aren't knuckleheads

About 9000 are knuckleheads. That's a majority of the student body........screw the vote.......

IMO this is a low number, less than 20%. At least 10% are athletes who will benefit. Surprised that so few care, and that means in a free land, a low vote says most people are very happy with whatever you, the majority wants.

There are about 200 student athletes. They make up about 1% of the student body. 3000 students represents about 19% of the total enrollment. If all 200 athletes voted, they were 6% of the amount voting. Athletes only did not drive this. The SGA endorsement is what got it passed in my view.

---I guess after UNO and Monroe voted theirs down that I couldn't expect a blow out YES --but I will take it---tech passed theirs and I am not sure about percentages!!! Would love to talk to the NOers of the student body and ask why their negative vote!!!
