Dobbe said the corporatization of education is driving the cost of college up so high that policies like affirmative action won't do any good in their aim to increase access to higher education. Dobbe said his aim is to develop a cohesive group that will eventu- ally lobby the state and federal government to improve higher edu- cation policies. Brian Lutenegger, another orga- nizer of the initiative, said he is distressed by the loss of faculty at state schools - a problem that organizers of the initiative hope to remedy. He attributed this trend to bud- getary cuts universities are forced to make, which lead to larger class sizes, a turn-off for many prospec- tive students. Lutenegger said "dialogue is the first step" in building a movement to address the problems facing uni- versities. He said he hopes that in time, words will be followed by action. The University of Wisconsin- Madison, the hub of the movement, is organizing a conference on the weekend of Oct. 21 that will fea- ture panels and workshops. Students, faculty and staff mem- bers from universities across the country have been invited, and Lutenegger said he hopes the com- munities that surround universities will also getinvolved. The idea, Lutenegger said, "is to talk about issues and to work toward a solution" to a problem that many young Americans face: the staggering financial hurdles that stand in the way of a college education.
