Editorial calls for preserving the college name for Madison Technical College
The editorial opposes removing the college distinction from Madison Technical College and warns that changing the name could hurt prestige and funding. It argues the school delivers college-level transfer work, accreditable credits, and strong vocational outcomes, urging readers to defend the term college and recognize the value of skilled trades. It cites Eric Hoffer’s advocacy for respect for technical workers and notes Britain’s 1707 union as a contextual aside.
