Legislative Efforts

Dear Faculty and Librarians,

We need your support to stop the weakening of higher education, including diminishing the value of libraries and librarians. 

The December 8th Nuts & Bolts provided information on two proposals that will weaken Massachusetts’ public higher education by reducing accreditation standards and the number of credits required for a bachelor’s degree.
