As
Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker's egregious $300 million budget cut
to the University of Wisconsin (UW) system is debated in the state
legislature, members of Progressive Students of Milwaukee, Youth
Empowered in the Struggle and the UW Milwaukee Resists Cuts Coalition
are staging a sit-in at UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Mark Mone's office
after numerous attempts to try to meet with him.
The
students are demanding that the chancellor meet with them and concede
to their demands that he publicly and unequivocally oppose the
proposed budget as harmful, unnecessary and political in nature, as
well as cut administrative positions and salaries before cutting
academics and student services and before laying off faculty and
staff. The students refuse to leave until their voices are heard!
Call
Chancellor Mone's office and demand that he meet with UWM students
and oppose the cuts!
