UMKC May Fire Labor Supporter

If University of Missouri-Kansas City Provost Bruce Bubacz has his way, Kansas City will lose its most vocal supporter of the working stiff.

Judy Ancel, the director of the university’s Institute for Labor Studies, was informed of her impending unemployment via letter sent by Bubacz to Longview Community College on May 29. The letter said UMKC would be ending its funding and connection with Ancel’s Institute for Labor Studies, which had operated as a partnership between UMKC and Longview.
