Activists are gathering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison to plan how to fight for affordable higher education.
The Democratizing Education Convention starts today and continues through Sunday. The idea is to bring together the various interest groups and figure out how to all work together, said Ben Manski, one of the organizers.
“The vast majority of those affected by the austerity measures imposed on higher education and by corporatization have not been included in the discussions about solutions. We’re working to build a democracy movement in higher education for the rest of us,” Manski said.
