HCC Student and Women's Center employee Kaitlyn Shake delivered a speech at the end of Wednesday's Courtyard Festival thanking students for their support in an ongoing petition to prevent the loss of the college's full-time professors as a result of Connecticut's budget cuts.
The budget, which had been passed the day before by the State Legislature in Hartford, depends upon $2 billion in labor savings which are still under negotiation.
Shake exhorted her fellow students to continue their efforts to protest the potential firing of professors, noting that they would result in reduced services to students and negatively impact the college's accreditation.
