THURSDAY, NOV. 19th: STATE-WIDE RALLY TO DEFEND PUBLIC EDUCATION AND
HOLD
REGENTS ACCOUNTABLE, COVEL COMMONS @ 10:00 AM!!
WHY?
The UC Regents will be meeting at UCLA November 17-19th and will be
voting
on proposed fee hikes of 32% over the rest of the 2009-2010 school
year.
This is in addition to the 9.3% fee increase last spring. If these fee
hikes
pass, it will be the first time in the history of the University of
California that fees will exceed $10,000 per year. Why are we paying
more
for less?
In solidarity with unions and faculty, the students of the University
of
California seek the following:
▪LOWER STUDENT FEES
▪STOP THE PRIVATIZATION OF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
▪DEFEND THE RIGHT TO QUALITY HIGHER EDUCATION
▪PRIORITIZE FUNDING TO PUBLIC EDUCATION
▪STOP THE RESEGREGATION OF PUBLIC EDUCATION
▪ENSURE ACCESS AND DIVERSITY IN HIGHER EDUCATION
▪RESPECT WORKERS’ RIGHTS AND CONTRACTS
