Hundreds of thousands of Massachusetts residents started working towards a college degree, but family or finances meant they had to put their dream careers on hold. MassReconnect means they’ll have another shot at a family-sustaining job they love.

Today’s decision does not change our commitment to our students, especially students of color, LGBTQ+ students, first generation students, and all those historically underrepresented in higher education.

@MassGovernor29 Jun 2023
In Massachusetts – home to the first public school and first university – our commitment to equity, inclusion, and representation in education remains unshakable.
MA will be welcoming and inclusive of students of color and students underrepresented in higher education. Today’s decision overturns decades of settled law. Our commitment to progress and representation in education remain unshakable. We will continue to break down barriers to higher education so that all students see themselves represented in both our public and private campus communities. MA, the home of the first public school and first university, will lead the way in championing access, equity, and inclusion in education. We want to make sure that students of color, LGBTQ+ students, first generation students, and all underrepresented in higher ed feel welcomed and valued at our colleges and universities. Today’s decision, while disappointing, will not change our commitment to these students. We have an imperative to make sure our schools reflect our communities. Our academic competitiveness, the future of our workforce, and our commitment to equity demand we take action.
