DON’T MOVE PASCEP
Temple University has initiated the dismantling of the prestigious community education program, the Pan-African Studies Community Education Program (PASCEP), a world class model of multi cultural community education for the past 33 years.
Temple’s administration without involving the director or staff of PASCEP in any collaborative discussion, decided to relocate PASCEP off the main campus. With this move, several of PASCEP’s community outreach initiatives will be terminated and many of its classes will be eliminated.
Some of the PASCEP initiatives slated for EXTINCTION:
• The East Coast Black Age of Comics Convention (ECBACC),
which is Philadelphia’s premiere comic book and literacy initiative.
• The PASCEP/BMDS Rites-of-Passage Programs.
• The PASCEP Prison Outreach will be reduced by 75%.
• The PASCEP Community Consortiums.
• The PASCEP Vendors Association.
With an average population of over 1100 students per semester, 85 classes running four nights per week, all run by volunteers, PASCEP qualifies as the 5th largest “school” under the Temple University banner. Yet they fail to respect the citizens of Philadelphia, who are its students and faculty, essentially …
PASCEP is under SEIGE!!
