August 24, 2011 - Milwaukee Professionals Association is gearing up for the 2011-12 school year BOOSTING GRADUATION focus at private and public outlets of education.
On March 22, 2011, Vice President Joe Biden issued a Call to Action to BOOST graduation rates.
Right away, MPA's Chair/CEO, Mary Glass, added his call to All Hands on Deck, WE, Not Me Initiative - Accountability Matters format. It is to assist the neighborhood-level stakeholders in creating platforms for "inclusion", especially African American, other People of Color and the Work-Challenged (un-, under-employed; un-, under-skilled; un-, under-financed neighborhood-level businesses, disabled, and re-entry, especially those re-entering from WAR, INCARCERATION, boomerang employment and boomerang retirement) who have "by design" and "consistently" been left out of education and technology attainment as well as wealth-building for sustainability.
Over the last six months, MPA's Open Complaint of Discrimination against the UW System has revealed specificity in a "Culture of Discrimination".
We are committed to the advocacy of top and inclusive services that include the recruitment, widespread training, evaluation, and pipelining student for global competition and academic excellence. This includes "soft-skills", relevant tested writing-speaking skills and dress-for-success from DAY 1 OF Orientation.
Our BOOST GRADUATION expectations look long-and-hard at those schools, colleges, programs, partnerships and funding mechanisms that produce top talent through academic, research, practicum, scholarship, internship, co-ops, exchange, student/classroom learning and especially the NEWly added departments and/or schools.
Our targeted individuals, groups and areas for examination and Accountability Matters follow-up include the following:
-- UW Regents Board
-- UW System President Kevin Reilly
-- UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Michael Lovell
-- UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Cabinet

"We, the People, must provide hands-on accountability that include due diligence of preparedness, repurposing and partnering by the People while calling upon legislators and government agencies to guarantee civil-human-legal rights", said Glass.
