SFSU holds first general assembly SocialistWorker.org:
"SAN FRANCISCO--On October 21, San Francisco State University (SFSU) held its first General Assembly as a way to endorse a call for a statewide conference following a September walkout at University of California (UC) campuses, and to discuss ways of advancing the fight against budget cuts affecting public education.
More than 8,000 students, professors and workers across the UC system delivered the opening blow in the struggle for the state's future on September 24, with a one-day walkout at UC campuses. The success necessitated the call for a statewide conference, aimed at coalescing the different sectors of public education in hopes of coordinating a sustained response.
Modeled after the successful assemblies held at UC-Berkeley prior to the walkout, the Assembly saw over 100 students, faculty, and staff participate in a way that SFSU hasn't experienced in decades. Organizing the assembly brought together the main forces of the campus left, who for the first time, have come together in a meaningful way in response to the severity of the crisis."
