“Stand up, Read out” MAS protests at universities around the country

by David Safier

Little ol' TUSD is developing a national reputation. Unfortunately, it's not the kind of reputation you brag about.

Last week Stony Brook University in New York was one of 12 universities (according to the Stony Brook Press website) to hold read-in protests of the dismantling of our MAS program. A friend from Portland, OR, sent me an email announcing a March 2 protest at Lewis & Clark College. It included a history of events leading to the dismantling of the MAS program and a showing of the documentary, Precious Knowledge.

It ain't over yet, not by a long shot. If you want to help keep the local effort alive, you can attend a happy hour fundraiser Tuesday, March 13, 5:30 pm. Flier below the fold.
