December 2015 Group Watch: New Group Protecting Education Budget
The University of Alabama System’s chancellor is spearheading a coalition from kindergarten to four-year institutions to advocate the state’s education system. The Alabama Unites for Education Coalition was recently launched to protect the state’s education budget. The group includes the leadership of the UA System, the Alabama Community College System and the Alabama Department of Education as well as the Presidents of the UA system’s three campuses and Auburn University. Chancellor Robert Witt envisions the coalition as a long-term advocate for education in the state capable of addressing issues ranging from workplace development to funding for school nurses in the K-12 system.
