STUDENT VOICEIN SAFETY
UW-MILWAUKEECAMPUSSAFETYWEEK
MILWAUKEE, WI: Due to the illegal invalidation of the University
of WisconsinMilwaukee (UWM)
Student Association (SA) 2013-2014 elections by UWM
Administration, led by Vice Chancellor of
Student Affairs Michael Laliberte, Campus Safety Week (October
14th-17th, 2013) at UWM comes at atime where students have no
recognized voice in safety at their University.
Before the lack of legitimate student government at UWM, the
Student Association chartered the SA
Safety Committee (SAS-C) to work with other shared governance
groups and the community on safety
issues and to provide a recognized platform for students to have
a voice in their safety and the
safety of others in the UWM community.
Statement by Former Student Association Safety Committee (SAS-C)
Chairwoman KC Rasch:
Its disgraceful that UWM Administration didnt consider the
ramifications of
shutting down the recognized student voice under WI Stat.
36.09(5). A Campus Safety
Week at UWM where students have no voice in their own safety and
the safety of others,
no platform to voice their concerns, is inexcusable.

regarding safety.

# # #TheALLIANCEOFSTUDENTSACHIEVINGPROGRESS(ASAP) is a movement,
currently active in the UW-
Milwaukee campus community. ASAP has had a long history as a
political party in UW-Milwaukee
Student Association Elections and in student advocacy for 20+
years. Previously known as Achieving
Student Action through Progress, the name may change but our
progressive values and integrity in
student and shared governance advocacy will not. We remain a
united movement of like-minded
individuals standing up to ensure everyone has a voice. We
believe in a truly shared system where
all governance groups under WI Stat. 36.09 work together to
advance the goals of their respective
Institution, the UW-System, higher education, and the Wisconsin
Idea.
