In their most extreme display of student opposition to Gov. Scott Walker’s budget repair bill so far, teaching assistants at the University of Wisconsin announced they will hold an off-campus “teach-out” to continue protests against the legislation.
Teaching assistants will hold their classes away from the UW campus for the event in a show of solidarity with university employees and students, a statement from the Teaching Assistants’ Association’s Madison chapter said.
Alex Hanna, a UW graduate student and TAA member, said he believes many TAs will hold their classes nearby or inside of the Capitol, where thousands of protesters have spoken out against Walker’s proposal since Monday.
“The Capitol has become a hub of activity,” Hanna said. “I imagine that it will be a place where many people choose to hold classes.”
In addition to the TAA teach-out, UW’s student government endorsed a proposed undergraduate student walkout.
