Strike At UCSD
Written by admin on September 24, 2009
UC San Diego students returned to class Thursday amid an animated backdrop of walkouts, teach-ins and an employee strike intended to draw attention to severe state budget cuts.
About 200 students and faculty gathered at an afternoon teach-in to decry the impact of funding cuts, which have prompted student fee hikes, layoffs, unpaid furloughs and numerous other cuts.
Elsewhere on campus, an additional 200 students, faculty and staff rallied in an event billed as a walk-out, marching alongside technical employees on strike over labor negotiations.
Just a pure mess, IMO.
