UMass students lead the way

Published Mar 30, 2005 10:43 AM

Valerie Louis (at podium), newly elected Student Government Association trustee at the University of Mas sachusetts at Amherst, spoke on a March 24 panel of campus community members against an administration proposal to restructure independent registered student organizations. A fight-back campaign led by the SGA, the progressive Take Back UMass Coalition (www.takebackumass.com) and com munity organizations, is under way. The goal is to beat back this anti-union, anti-student, racist attack—which, if successful, would place student orga ni zations under administration control, destroying over 30 years of student autonomy on campus won as a result of massive student rebellions in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
