"The emergency relief funds will be distributed to affected workers to help cover housing, food, health care and other essential expenses. With limited time and no institutional safety net, access to immediate, flexible support is critical."
"Like many students who found themselves at Hampshire, many staff and faculty are here because we believe in fighting for the ideals of what Hampshire has always strived for. For many of us, much like the students, Hampshire was also a refuge and a safe haven."
Hampshire College is closing due to funding issues, resulting in over 250 employees losing their jobs. A mutual aid group, Help Hampshire Workers, has established an emergency relief fund to assist affected workers with essential expenses like housing and healthcare. The college, known for its support of LGBTQ+ students, has seen a decline in enrollment, falling below 750 students this year. The relief fund aims to provide immediate support during this transition, reflecting the college's progressive values.
