Comments on: Higher Education Part 2: Community organizing for change http://reuvencarlyle36.com/2009/10/14/higher-education-part-2-community-organizing-for-change/ State Representative from Washington's 36th Legislative District Sat, 26 May 2012 18:22:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Ben http://reuvencarlyle36.com/2009/10/14/higher-education-part-2-community-organizing-for-change/#comment-261 Mon, 02 Nov 2009 01:16:12 +0000 http://reuvencarlyle36.com/?p=917#comment-261 These three posts about higher education are fantastic. Rep. Carlyle understands the value of higher education and the reality that the status quo is unsustainable.

Yet this particular argument (that inadequate community organizing led to the slashing of higher ed’s budget) is a cop-out. The legislature understands what is at stake and the consequence of their actions. They don’t need a flooded inbox of e-mails from alums and parents of potential students to put their actions into perspective. (Besides, public employees have restrictions on advocacy tactics, so of course they won’t see the same sort of lobbying from other interest groups).

Thanks for your interest, and we hope that you can be as zealous an advocate for higher ed as Helen Summers!

As a former member of WSU’s Center for Teaching Learning and Technology, I appreciate your support for issues that we have struggled with for years.

I also appreciate your addition of Ricardo Levins Morales’ poster. I hope the embed code I include in this comment will make it easier for others to find his work:
