Protests, strike planned for today at UCSC - San Jose Mercury News


Protests, strike planned for today at UCSC - San Jose Mercury News:

"SANTA CRUZ -- Disgusted with the University of California administration's handling of historic state funding losses, hundreds of UC Santa Cruz students, faculty and staff are expected to participate in a walkout today to coincide with the first day of classes.

Similar demonstrations are planned on UC campuses throughout the state to protest the furloughs, layoffs, class cuts and tuition fee hikes that define UC President Mark Yudof's answer to closing an $800 million deficit created by budget raids from Sacramento."
