Statement by Professor Kenneth M. Reardon

UMass Board of Trustees Meeting

December 18, 2019

Boston, MA

Good morning Chairman Manning, Board of Trustees Members, Colleagues, and honored guests.

My name is Ken Reardon and I am a Professor and Director of the MS in Urban Planning and Community Development Program in the School for the Environment at the University of Massachusetts Boston.

Good morning. I am Marlene Kim, president of the Faculty Staff Union at UMass Boston.

The UMass Boston community is troubled that the trustees and President Meehan have done nothing to address our concerns around the establishment of UMass Amherst’s academic center in Newton that is vying for many of the same students and instructors that UMass Boston is also trying to attract and retain.
