UCF SGA President Cortez Whatley has released a video addressing why he voted in favor of the full 15 percent tuition hikes.

Note: This video was not shot by Knightnews.com and we retrieved it off of the SGA website.

However, Cortez still did not address what Senator Don Gaetz said about the University reserves covering the budget cuts. Watch below to hear the Florida Senator specifically say that no operating funds for any academic programs were going to be affected, and that the Senators were simply asking to draw money out of the UCF reserves.
