"As activism rises on Fresno State’s campus, faculty show support of student involvement
Recent student activism on the California State University, Fresno campus has received support from many faculty members.
Professors could be seen in and outside of the Henry Madden Library during the protest staged after closing hours in November. October’s walkout also featured faculty members who addressed the crowd in the Peace Garden."
Dr. Loretta Kensinger, a professor for the women’s studies program, said that her participation was strictly in support for the students involved. She joined the family and friends of students who stood outside of the library for moral support for the students demonstrating inside, she said.
“I think the students are raising awareness for all of us about what the plight is for the California State University system right now,” Kensinger said.
She said students, as well as faculty, have been impacted by the budget cuts. It is important to support the students as they push for the state to fully fund education, Kensinger said.
