What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The federal government declined to award grants that previously allowed Madison College to offer reduced-cost child care for students in Wisconsin. Jennifer Berne, President of Madison College, stated that if childcare is unavailable, students may not be able to attend classes. As a result, student parents are enrolling in fewer classes or pulling their children from campus care.
