The Orion - Editorial: Student body holding up well against furlough days:
"We’ve heard the opinions of our professors about them, we’ve had two days off because of them and there have been multiple demonstrations on campus against them. Now that we’re a little over halfway through the semester, it’s time to take a look at just how much the state-mandated furlough days are affecting our campus.
Regardless of the controversy they’ve caused, the furlough days seem to be working. Though highly annoying because they come on the heels of a 32 percent tuition increase, mandatory furlough days have been a tentatively successful play of the bad hand we were unfairly dealt.
But if the economy doesn’t get better soon — and it probably won’t — we may be left with as many furlough days as actual instructional days"
