Emotional testimony reveals devastating impact of federal funding cuts to TRIO Upward Bound and Hispanic Serving Institution grants—but will the board actually fight back?
Last night's meeting was compelling and a testament to the need for programs like TRIO to empower today's youth, for they are tomorrow's leaders. In reality, they are already leading the fight for Justice, Education, Diversity, and Inclusion. All of the speakers were thoughtful, and their statements included powerful personal stakes in this inclusive program. Pima Community College needs to stay the course and fight for this program, in AMERICA, for all races and creeds. We are one people.
Thank you for always doing the work to cover what matters most in southern Arizona. I am proud to have been a(n unqualified but eager and grateful) teacher for Upward Bound in 2011 and emphasize its importance not just for those it serves but for those who are made better by serving it.
👍 Thank you for your dedication to the details about this issue. I doubt that I could find any other source of information anywhere else and that makes me feel very sad for our community. Well done reporting!

The actions of the Trump administration are criminal and unconscionable.
