OSA focuses on issues such as tuition, financial aid, and student rights.[2] OSA also provided a collective voice for students in state government, public universities overseen by the Higher Education Coordinating Commission as well as other state boards and commissions.
The organization ceased operations in October of 2024 due to a challenging financial landscape, with the majority of its income coming from student incidental fees, declining membership, and the death of one of its 5 staff members in a car crash, with another staff member being seriously injured.[3]
