From AFT Local 212:
Yesterday the legislative attack on MATC, SB 275, that dissolves the MATC board and gives board appointment power to two counties that represent less than 8% of the colleges’ students and less than 18% of its funding passed the Wisconsin Senate.
It is a power grab that will lead to dismantling important functions and programs at the state’s only minority majority college. Just last week Mark Belling said MATC shouldn’t have a nursing program. Critical programs like child care, the bilingual program, public safety, food service, and IT are at risk as are academic programs like the Adult High School, professional development and Early Childhood Education.
Glen Grothman is smearing our students to justify his hostile takeover.
We need YOU to join us in Madison tomorrow when the bill will be voted on in the Assembly. We will tentatively leave the 212 office, 739 West Juneau, at 4:30 pm. We will rally in Madison at 6:30 pm.
Email mrosen@local212.org <mailto:mrosen@local212.org> to confirm that you will come to Madison to defend MATC.
We are going to Madison to tell the MATC haters that we will not allow them to disenfranchise our students and city of Milwaukee residents. We will not allow them to destroy the college that has served this community for 100 years!
We need to have a major presence at the legislature.
Please email now at mrosen@local212.org <mailto:Mrosen@local212.org> to confirm your participation.
