6. Why UMass Protests

Activism thrives at UMass Amherst. As the flagship campus of Massachusetts, UMass Amherst has branded itself “revolutionary,” and its students channel that spirit toward fighting for causes they care about. Student protests at UMass have shaped university policies from the 1960s, when female freshmen had an 8 p.m. curfew, all the way through December 2021, when the Survivor’s Bill of Rights was passed.    In 1969, the U.S. government reinstated the compulsory draft, where young men between the ages of 18 and 26 could be compelled to serve overseas. Many UMass students rose up to fight against U.S. military involvement in Southeast Asia. Student efforts culminated in a nationwide strike of classes in May 1970, which provoked ripples that reached even the highest levels of the federal government.   In this episode of It Happened in Amherst, Izzi D’Amico talks to UMass students  past and present for a closer look at how the culture of protest at UMass has developed from 1968 to 2022.

4. When the Pill Arrives

Terminating an unwanted pregnancy, even in the bluest of blue states — Massachusetts, where legislation like the ROE Act promises to secure reproductive rights as they come under fire elsewhere across the nation — can be a tough ordeal. Especially on college campuses, where some student health centers will refer patients to local providers, unable to render abortion services themselves. But not for long.    In January, 2022, UMass Amherst announced its plans to roll out medication abortion, a two-step, self-administered pill, as an extension of existing reproductive healthcare available to its students, faculty, and staff.    In this episode of It Happened in Amherst, Rebeca Pereira covers a tiny pill that could alter the course of pregnant patients’ lives and change the standard of abortion accessibility forever.
