Aside from a freshly-packed bong and high-sodium meals, college students love nothing more than to protest something bad. The most recent something bad to move the UC system to protest is, of course, the severe budget cuts affecting the quality of education. But this protest will be done walkout-style. According to SF Chronicle, "What began in recent weeks as a proposed faculty walkout coinciding with the first day of school next Thursday at some campuses - including UCSF, UC Davis and UC Santa Cruz - has grown to include graduate and undergraduate student groups, and labor unions representing thousands of employees." Combine the recent budget cuts and forced furlough days with the fee increase and we will (hopefully) see an explosive mass walkout of indignation and righteousness. In related news, everybody else is poor and/or losing their jobs too.

As I see by the lack of comments , who cares about this topic... folks who don't want to pay ... whats new at Berkeley Santa Cruz ??? what a joke. No wonder anything run by the Governmant State or Federal .... just plain Sucks ....
My understanding is that it's not merely about cuts, which I think most people realized were all but inevitable to some degree. Based on what I've read, the "indignation" is more about UC administration not sharing in any of the pain and continuing to give themselves raises, as well as what many see as the erosion of UC's mission to provide the public with affordable access to higher education.
I'm glad someone is finally not taking the budget cuts lying down.
