Fordham USG to Send a Letter to Congress About Trump’s “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act” – The Fordham Ram

Published

June 29, 2025

Your Sports Nation

Fordham University’s United Student Government (USG) plans to send a letter to members of Congress next Monday, June 30, urging them to reject the H.R.1 bill titled “The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act.” The letter was authored by USG Executive President Lucas Hjertberg, FCRH ’26, and USG Executive Vice President Andrew McDonald, FCRH ’26. It condemns the bill, which includes several funding cuts to federal programs, including student financial aid, and calls on members of Congress to oppose the bill.

“We call on you to reject this legislation, to defend the promise of education for all, and to invest in the future of this nation’s students,” the letter says.

“The One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act” is a reconciliation bill that includes $1.5 trillion in spending cuts as well as additional tax cuts. It was introduced to Congress on May 20 and was passed in the House of Representatives on May 22 with a vote of 215-214. Now, it is being considered in the Senate. While it has yet to pass both houses, President Donald Trump is urging Congress members to have the bill on his desk by July 4.

The bill contains a multitude of funding cuts, including to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Medicare and Medicaid. The bill also includes $330 billion in funding cuts to higher education. Additionally, the bill will terminate subsidized loans for students and will terminate most loan repayment plans. It will also change the qualifications for Pell Grants by increasing the number of credits a student needs to be considered a full-time student from 12 to 15 credits.

The bill “contains a number of devastating cuts to public investment in order to allow for tax breaks to those who really don’t need them,” said Hjertberg. “And to see education included in the firing line, I mean, we’ve worked for so many years to make sure that education is getting the right amount of funding, and it’s still underfunded, and to see that, to see education in the crosshairs, is crushing.”

These funding cuts will impact millions of college students across the country, according to the Center for American Progress. According to a statement sent to members of the Fordham community by USG, 55% of Fordham students will see their federal aid cut or entirely canceled as a result of the bill. The statement further explains the impacts of the bill and calls upon members of the Fordham community to take action.

“We fight for Fordham. We fight for every student chasing a dream they were told they didn’t deserve,” the statement says. “And we fight because faith without action is empty, and justice without courage is impossible. This is our charge. This is our moment. And we will not be silent.”

Hjertberg says not enough people are talking about the impact the bill will have on federal student aid. While some are being very vocal about the impacts on programs like Medicare and Medicaid, they are forgetting about education, according to Hjertberg, which is why he thought it would be beneficial to write a letter to Congress highlighting the impact the bill will have on students.

The letter was written on June 12, after which Hjertberg sent it to the rest of USG and asked people to vote on whether to sign the letter. If USG members voted not to sign the letter, he would sign it from himself and McDonald, rather than from Fordham USG as a whole. But ultimately, with three members not voting and a final vote count of 19-0, USG members voted to sign the letter.

USG Senator Audrey Shooner, FCRH ’28, voted to sign the letter and said it is important for students to use their platforms to speak on topics such as this one.

“I’m against this bill,” Schooner said in an email. “I morally oppose this bill. It would hurt me, and it would hurt the people I care about. If I have the chance to formally oppose it as part of an organization I’m a part of, of course I’m going to do that. It’s my responsibility, both as a person and as a representative in USG, to use the platform I have to stand against harm like this.”

Hjertberg also sent the letter to a group chat via GroupMe that contains student body presidents from universities across the country and sent it to the Jesuit Student Government Alliance in hopes of getting students from other schools to sign the letter. In total, 14 student body presidents across the country, including from the University of Pittsburgh, Santa Clara University, Michigan State University, Rutgers University-New Brunswick and more, also signed the letter.

USG Vice President of health and security Aidan Costella, FCRH ’27 , said including students from other schools in the letter is beneficial to the letter’s success.

“I think if we’re able to gain momentum with other schools as well, I think there’s power in numbers and I think it’s important to show that students don’t agree with what’s going on,” Costella said.

According to Hjertberg, USG plans to send the letter to several Congress members, specifically House members who typically support higher education. They will also send it to Republican House members from New York, including Nicole Malliotakis and Mike Lawler. Further, they will send the letter to all House Democrats from New York and New Jersey in order to further generate discussion among House members about the impact of the bill on higher education.

University President Tania Tetlow, who previously sent an email calling students to take action against the bill, said that she is proud of USG for standing in support of higher education, according to Jane Martinez, director of media relations.

“This is a moment when their voices can have real power, and they can make a difference,” Tetlow said in a statement to The Fordham Ram.

Hjertberg said he hopes the letter can raise awareness among members of Congress and within the Fordham community about the impacts of this bill. Hjertberg fears that if the bill passes, dozens of universities across the country will close due to financial strain, which he says will not only impact students, but the economy as a whole.

“This bill doesn’t only impact higher education or what some see as the ivory tower, it impacts everybody, it impacts the farmer, the guy who works at your local bodega, everybody throughout the chain,” Hjertberg said.

In the 1996 postseason, LSU baseball debuted a brand-new uniform. The team went on to claim a national title that season, birthing the iconic championship golds.

On June 22, 2025, LSU claimed its eighth national title with a 5-3 win over Coastal Carolina, and the Tigers wore the gold jersey with white pants.

The first time they wore the new uniforms was in the 1996 postseason when head coach Skip Bertman thought the new attire would boost morale after a disappointing end to the regular season.

After they were introduced, the Tigers won every time they wore the golds, culminating in history.

With two outs and a runner on third base in the 1996 national championship game, LSU was losing 8–7 in the bottom of the 9th inning.

LSU’s Warren Morris came up to the plate and swung at the first pitch he saw. He lined the ball just inches over the right field fence for a game-winning walk-off home run.

Morris’ play is tradition for Tiger fans and effectively cemented the championship golds as a uniform option.

The push in the calendar toward July 4 typically brings with it a glut of outdoor national track and field meets, and 2025 is no exception.

Several News-Herald coverage area student-athletes who just completed their high school outdoor campaigns took part in outdoor national competition recently.

There are three: An adidas meet in Greensboro, N.C., a Nike meet in Eugene, Ore. and a New Balance meet in Philadelphia.

At adidas Track Nationals, Mayfield senior-to-be Sharnise Worthams paced the coverage area charge.

2025 News-Herald girls track and field all-stars

Coming off an outdoor campaign for the Wildcats during which she was a Division I 100- and 300-meter hurdles state qualifier and first-team News-Herald girls track and field all-star, Worthams took home gold in 400 hurdles and was 100 hurdles runner-up in adidas’ National Elite division.

Worthams won 400 hurdles with a meet-record time of 62.84 seconds, .46 ahead of runner-up Shari Jackson. She was second in 100 hurdles in 14.82, behind Kherington Johnson (14.68).

Harvey’s Ethen Eudell was 19th in the Championship 400 hurdles in 57.82.

The bulk of the local contingent competed at New Balance Nationals Outdoor at venerable Franklin Field.

Perry’s Traxton Richards was second in the Freshman pole vault, clearing 14 feet, 7 1/4 inches. The D-II state runner-up for the Pirates earlier this month was second here to a fellow Ohioan, Piqua’s Carson Holtvogt, who went 14-11.

Mentor’s Rapolas Ogorodnikas was 11th in the Freshman 200 (22.13) and 19th in the Freshman 100 (11.03).

Beachwood’s 4×200 quartet of K’Dyn Harris-Tate, Marley Readance, Meena Abdul-Basser and Kyrsten Ginn, coming off winning the D-II state high school title in the event, was 25th in the Championship division with a 1:41.90. The same group of four was 39th in the Championship 4×1 in 48.45.

Abdul-Basser, the 2025 News-Herald girls track and field athlete of the year, was sixth in the Freshman 400 (56.26) and 34th in the Freshman 200 (25.56). Ginn was 17th in the Freshman 200 (25.02) and 24th in the Freshman 100 (12.43).

Chagrin Falls’ Gabby Byrne was 25th in the Freshman mile (5:11.91), and Tommy Mooney was 60th in the Championship 1,500 (3:59.42) and 73rd in the Championship mile (4:17.98).

Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin’s Owen Thomas, competing for Cleveland Youth Running Club, was 34th in the Freshman 3,000 (9:22.42) and 35th in the Freshman two-mile (10:02.08).

Euclid’s boys 4×4 of John Jordan, Mario Seats, Malik Hogan and LaJuan Hamelin, fresh off setting the all-time News-Herald coverage area record in the event at the D-I state meet as they took third, was 37th in the Championship division in 3:18.82.

Mayfield’s Antonio Steele was 46th in the Freshman 110 hurdles (16.25) and 82nd in the Freshman 400 (52.37).

University junior-to-be Thomas Lodowski, who had a breakout performance at state by taking third in the D-I 800 final, was 48th in the Championship open 8 here in 1:52.80. US’ Noah Hope competed in the Freshman shot put, placing 25th (40-11 1/2).

SAINTS SENTINEL
Game 1: St. Paul 3, Louisville 7
Box Score

What looked like a promising afternoon unraveled fast for the Saints in the sixth, undone by a Blake Dunn no-doubt grand slam that punctuated a five-run frame and flipped the script at CHS Field.

Marco Raya looked sharp through five, limiting the Louisville Bats to two runs and giving St. Paul a chance to settle in. But the baton passed to Anthony Misiewicz in the sixth, and the inning went sideways quick: two singles, a sac bunt, a walk, a sac fly, another walk—and then Dunn unloaded on a first-pitch fastball, sending it over the left-field wall and sucking the air out of the ballpark.

Yunior Severino did what he could to keep things close, launching a 450-foot missile to straightaway center for a two-run homer in the bottom half of the inning. He drove in all three of St. Paul’s runs on the night, but the damage had been done.

Peyton Eeles and Jeferson Morales each tallied a pair of hits, while Royce Lewis, continuing his rehab assignment, led off and went 0-for-2 with a walk. Not much to show in the box score, but the timing and health continue to trend in the right direction.

The Saints fall, but Severino’s power show remains a highlight—and a reminder of what could be waiting in the wings.

Game 2: St Paul 5, Louisville 4
Box Score

Anthony Prato, better known for his uncanny ability to wear pitches than to launch them, flipped the script in the nightcap of the Saints’ double-header. The franchise’s resident hit-by-pitch magnet turned enforcer in the sixth, unloading a two-run shot that put St. Paul momentarily in front.

https://x.com/StPaulSaints/status/1939136270812242322

But the good vibes were short-lived. Jarrett Whorff, called upon to close it down, served up a game-tying two-run homer in the top of the seventh. Of course, baseball being baseball, Whorff would ultimately be rewarded with the win after backup catcher Noah Cardenas—hitting below the Mendoza Line entering the night—turned on a 99 mph fastball and parked it in the bullpen to walk it off.

Pitcher wins? Still irrelevant.

Peyton Eeles stayed hot, tacking on two more singles, while Pierson Ohl gave the Saints four solid innings (3H, 2ER, 6K) and now carries a shiny 1.95 ERA across three levels.

WIND SURGE WISDOM
Springfield 12, Wichita 6
Box Score

The bats showed up late for the Wind Surge, and by the time they did, Springfield had already built an 8-0 cushion. Wichita clawed back to 9-5 before the Cardinals tacked on insurance in the 8th, sealing a 12-6 loss.

Kyler Fedko—currently leading the Texas League in slugging—continued his wrecking ball ways, lacing a ground-rule double with the bases loaded. Kaelan Culpepper racked up a three-hit day, and Walker Jenkins launched his first Double-A home run: a 386-foot rocket into the bullpen off a 96 mph heater. Since his promotion, Jenkins has reached safely in 9 of 10 games and continues to look every bit the fast-tracked future piece.

KERNELS NUGGETS
Cedar Rapids 4, South Bend 5
Box Score

The Kernels held a narrow 4-3 lead into the seventh, powered by a clutch ground-rule double from Kyle Hess that brought home Billy Amick and Misael Urbina. But the edge didn’t last. Jacob Kistling surrendered a two-run homer in the bottom half, and just like that, South Bend flipped the script.

Kyle DeBarge continues to be a one-man wrecking crew. The infielder went 2-for-5, swiped his league-leading 42nd base of the season, and added his 47th RBI for good measure. The stat line keeps stacking, and so does his case as one of the most dynamic players in the Midwest League.

MUSSEL MATTERS
Tampa 7, Fort Myers 4
Box Score

The day’s spotlight was on Dasan Hill, the lean, left-handed arm with upside and velocity to match. He navigated traffic through his first two innings before running into trouble in the third, allowing a pair of runs. That frame had everything: Brian Sanchez swiped two bags, there was a wild pitch, a balk, and—just for good measure—a pickoff/caught stealing to end the inning. Hill threw 65 pitches in total, the most of his pro career.

The Mussels got some help from the Tarpons’ infield circus in the fifth. What looked like a routine Dameury Peña grounder turned into two runs after airmail throws from both corners of Tampa’s defense—first from third, then first—and Peña ended up standing on third without needing to flash any wheels.

Caleb McNeely put together a solid day at the plate, finishing 2-for-3 with a double. But Tampa’s running game ran wild, swiping eight bags against the Fort Myers battery in what became a track meet on dirt.

COMPLEX CHRONICLES
FCL Twins 6, FCL Red Sox 5
Box Score

Trailing 5-0 and facing win probability odds that screamed “not your day,” the FCL Twins rallied back behind a flurry of timely hits and bullpen dominance.

Rafael Escalante knocked in two with a single in the sixth, while Ricardo Paez’s sac fly in the seventh evened things up. Carlos Silva drove home the eventual winning run in the eighth on a fielder’s choice, completing the comeback.

Teague Conrad tossed three scoreless frames to slam the door and grab the win.

Yes, Daiber De Los Santos struck out three times. Yes, he still leads the league with 57 punchouts.

DOMINICAN DAILIES
DSL Marlins 6, DSL Twins 3
Box Score

It was a shaky start on the mound for the DSL Twins. Starter Rainer Marin and reliever Aaron Carranza combined to issue eight walks over 4.2 innings, and as is often the case, those freebies came back to bite—four of them eventually came around to score.

Still, there were bright spots. Teilon Serrano stayed locked in at the plate, collecting two hits and crossing home for one of the Twins’ only two runs. Haritzon Castillo continues to be one of the most consistent bats in the DSL, roping an RBI single—his 14th run driven in this season.

Castillo’s line now sits at a scorching .346/.453/.558 through 64 plate appearances, good for second in the league in RBIs.

ONTARIO, Canada – Texas A&M volleyball head coach Jamie Morrison led the United States women’s U19 national team to a gold-medal winning performance at the North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation Pan American Cup after sweeping Mexico in the final Saturday evening.

Morrison secured his fourth-straight international title after his teams’ fourth sweep of the tournament versus Mexico in the championship round. His group dominated from start to finish at the Pan-American Cup, finishing with a 397-322 point differential over the five matches to outscore their opponents by 75 points.

The United States hit the ground running in the pool play of the championships, going a perfect 3-0 and dropping only one frame. The group swept their opening two fixtures versus Venezuela and Mexico before facing Puerto Rico, where the Red, White and Blue went down 1-0 after the opening frame but responded by winning the next three to sweep their pool and advance to the semifinals.

Morrison and his squad carried their momentum into the penultimate round, once again putting on a dominant showing versus the Dominican Republic to capture their third sweep of the tournament. The win advanced the team to the gold-medal match.

The group closed the championships with a competitive three-set victory over Mexico for the second time at the tournament. Morrison’s squad played with a lead for the majority of the match, trailing in just nine of the 139 total points played in the fixture.
