I think the university should separate from the OSU system. It would be an independent university focusing on local students.

I don't understand why OSU-Cascades should separate from the OSU system. It doesn't make sense.

As an OSU-Cascades student, I know that being part of the OSU system makes OSU-Cascades so incredible. This bill is simply a jab at our efforts to become a valuable branch of OSU in Central Oregon and steal our funding for other universities (i.e. WOU)...

Stronger as a pac 12 affiliated school

My daughter transferred to OSU Cascades because of its affiliation with OSU and because of its location. Being part of OSU is a big benefit and holds prestige and value to its alumni.

Jane Evey Teater

OSU-Cascades and OSU have a strong partnership. Students here have access to classes, majors and research opportunities that wouldn't be available at a University of our size. Rep. Evans is from the valley and is connected to WOSC. Why should someone from the Valley dictate what we do?

Many of my students display addictive behaviors regarding their phones, and it has proven detrimental to their learning and social development. Any positive of cell phone use is vastly outweighed by negative consequences.

Sam Davis

Long overdue. Students need to focus on being educated in school, not watching videos, playing games, & chatting with each other. Educators and others do not need the distraction that cell cause. If there are emergencies that students need to know about there are other ways for them to find out.

Kids are way too addicted to their phones and it is affecting their learning. Phones could be kept in a basket in the classroom in case of emergency, but definitely NOT with the kid.

David Kline

My teaching friends say it's been a battle to keep kids off their phones in class and wastes a bunch of class time time addressing this. How will this be enforced any differently though?

Between cell phone usage and lower graduating standards, OR is failing students
