Students at UC Santa Cruz Escalate Demands, Call for Days of Action Posted by alvinjohnson on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 (00:08:39) (311 reads) In case people have not heard, or are not following it closely, things ratched up another notch today at UC Santa Cruz, where a two-day series of actions began to protest rising tuition costs and decreasing access to education in California. We want to let them UCSC students know the New School In Exile is in support of their struggle! You can read more about it at Indymedia here. Here's the lead blurb right now... Quote:
The imaginary committee writes, "University students and workers in California must organize immediately to occupy, blockade and strike on all campuses November 17-19. We call for a wave of occupations and blockades to bring the university to a halt. The proposed fee hikes of 32 percent, to be ratified November 17-19, are only the latest indication that the California university system is bankrupt. We cannot allow it to continue through the end of the term. "Too many workers have already lost their jobs. The jobs for which our educations supposedly prepare us have already disappeared. We have given our ‘representatives’ enough time to work out peaceful solutions to these problems, and we see no indication that they have made any progress. "We are not interested in any more tedious conferences or assemblies, which draw out hundreds of people, but only for an endless conversation. We are not interested in more ’symbolic protests’, whether walkouts or strikes, insofar as they are pre-announced to end after one or a few days. More meetings and protests will only waste our energies, while the administration continues to implement its plans without hindrance." Also, check out the Imaginary Committee blog for the latest on the planned actions and occupations.  comments? | | Score: 0
