Fund UMass Boston A coalition of students, staff, and faculty against budget cuts and student cost hikes at University of Massachusetts - Boston

Fund UMass Boston Coalition is committed to building a broad-based movement to resist fee increases and fight for a quality UMass Boston. We need to build a movement that recognizes and fosters the individual power of students, staff, and faculty. For too long the state has taken money out of public higher education and forced deep cuts in services and big hikes in costs for students. And so, we a

re asking you to join us in shaping this movement. For twenty years, the state of Massachusetts has continually taken money out of public higher education. Massachusetts state funding for public higher education is 46th in the nation compared to other states. But is this a result of lack of funds? When Massachusetts gives out $2 billion in unaccountable corporate tax breaks every year, when Massachusetts decides movie stars are more important than students and professors, this doesn't seem like the right answer. And yet, with the increasing demands from our society on a college-educated workforce, the need for an affordable UMass Boston, the only four-year public university in the city, is all the more clear. Without an affordable public university like UMass Boston, opportunities beyond a high-school diploma level risk being put out of reach for anyone who cannot afford a BU or Harvard education. We need an affordable UMass Boston.
