The ACCESS Project and Women's Studies Professor/ACCESS co-director Vivyan Adair are featured in a National Journal (3/9/02) article,"Get Hitched, Stay Hitched," concerning President Bush's plan to give states money to encourage marriage among welfare recipients.
One of the ACCESS Project students, Jamie Clark, was also interviewed for the article, where she says that Bush's idea is "a terrible idea. Marriage and financial stability should not be related."
The article describes the ACCESS Project as "a pilot program that's partially funded by New York State's welfare dollars. The program helps disadvantaged parents in Oneida and Herkimer counties obtain higher edcuation."
