Women's Institute protests faculty fragmentation at Manitoba conference
MWI members at the annual conference criticized the University of Manitoba Presidential office for plans to fragment the Faculty of Human Ecology. They urged unity to protect home economics fields, education, and community leadership roles, citing brain drain risks and ongoing advocacy since 1910. The AGM urged funding for home care, speech therapy, and education-related programs.
