Ripple zine is now being published in Women's and Gender Studies at UMA thanks to the generosity of UMF women's and gender studies alumni. In spring 22, WGS alumni at UMF reached out to support the zine and to establish a Lee Sharkey honorarium for its student interns. After the destruction of WGS at UMF, they offered to continue their support at UMA-Bangor. They have established this gift fund:

SAVE THE HUMANITIES AT UMF
We celebrate and congratulate today’s graduates. The UMF where they worked diligently to earn their degrees, however, is about to change. NINE University of Maine Farmington faculty members in the Humanities and Social Sciences were recently fired. Three of the programs these faculty taught in, some for as long as 30 years, were entirely eliminated: Women’s and Gender Studies, Religion and Philosophy, and World Languages. These firings gutted the Humanities Division at UMF. The cuts have nothing to do with the excellence of these beloved teachers, dedicated scholars, advisors, and community members. The cuts were made by University of Maine State System Chancellor Dannel Malloy and the Board of Trustees. UMF, like other educational institutions, has had difficulty solving critical financial challenges, however, these cuts fatally undermine UMF’s long-standing national reputation as a vibrant affordable public liberal arts institution. As our students face the uncertain future of our nation and planet, they need what education theorists now call “21st Century Skills:” creativity, critical thinking, the ability to tell truth from fact, problem solving, perseverance, collaboration, and communication skills. This is the core of what the Humanities teach: that the world needs you—it is complicated and beautiful and full of people who do not look like you or believe the same things you do, but deserve your attention and respect.

What can you do?
Speak out. Write an editorial for your local paper. Talk to a journalist in your town.
