LSUnited and LAE gears up 'Defend Public Education Day at LSU
(Baton Rouge) Louisiana educators will remind elected officials that public higher education is an engine of economic growth that benefits all communities at large during "Defend Public Education Day," October 7, 2010 at Louisiana State University. The event will use the sacred Louisiana tradition of a jazz funeral procession to illustrate how the current budget crisis facing higher education results in "loss" of funding, educators, and access for working families.
The historic actions and protests of last Fall and Spring demonstrated that Louisiana students, teachers, staff and communities stand in solidarity to fight against the cuts, layoffs, fee hikes that shrink access to public education and services.
In addition to LSUnited and LAE, Proud Students, LSU Graduate Student Association, and the LSU Faculty Senate, with the support of concerned students and faculty, sponsor this event.
