The Daily Texan • By Julius Shieh • March 3, 2023
“Students at the FED UP Coalition met with administration at the Steve Hicks School of Social Work on Feb. 14 for the latest in a string of scheduled bi-weekly meetings. However, what the students didn’t know was that this meeting would be their last.
According to a statement posted by FED UP four days later, the administration announced at the meeting that they planned to dissolve the working group altogether.
FED UP member Callie Kennedy said that the coalition’s working group with the school was an important avenue for collaboration, resulting in a reduction in required field work hours, increased coaching resources and the establishment of funds to support students in field work.”
