And here is a first-hand report from Irvine:
Report from Irvine by anonymous
"We had a spirited teach-in and march in which about 400 participated, followed by a General Assembly in front of the administration building. TA and lecturer union reps, librarians, queer student groups, graduate and undergraduate students, and faculty spoke at the teach-in. Between the teach-in and the GA the students marched into ongoing classes and through the science library and the UCI bookstore. They chanted "Students' needs, not corporate greed" and "Educate, Occupy. Take back UCI." The OC Register has of course written us up with special attention to our profanity. (At one station of the march, a student began his speech with "My name is Alexander, I'm a student here and I'm fucking pissed off!")"
Berkeley City Council has decided not to renew mutual aid agreements with UCPD and neighboring police forces in aftermath of recent police violence. h/t CC
Thousands March in London.

ReplyDeleteWhat happened to UCSB?
no Dean Evans with his pirate eyepatch. The current UCSB admin is as unhappy with tuition hikes as are the students, meaning that on the big simple problems like lack of affordability the villians all seem far away. There is also a lack of decent information and local coverage, and of militant student leadership, and of a crusading senate and, last but not least of unscheduled time (most of my students work 10-30 hours per week) . . .I know from many conversations and emails that student discontent is there, but it needs an object and organization before it can become publicly active.
ReplyDeletethanks for the clip
