Student walk out to protest fee hikes, cuts and layoffs
Issue date: 12/9/09 Section: News
"Wednesday, December 9th.
11 a.m., Walkout!
12 Noon, Rally and March!
Protest Fee Hikes, Classroom Cuts, and Faculty Lay Offs!
Walk out of classes and meet in quad, look for banners and signs!
Students at CSU Stanislaus are paying more and getting less. Classes have been eliminated, winter term has been abolished, and classroom sizes have skyrocketed. Staff and faculty are victims of massive layoffs and furlough days. The CSU system is becoming a corporation.
All the while, President Hamid Shirvani and the Board of Trustees rake in salaries in the hundreds of thousands with massive car and housing allowances. Why do we continue to allow our fees to rise and classes to be cut while the rich administrators line their pockets with our money? On December 9th, we as a united body of faculty, staff, and students say enough! Join the walkout and take the fight to Shirvani's
doorstep!"

I understand how important it is for students to express their concerns regarding budget cuts and faculty layoffs. Public protests are a great way to exercise freedom of speech and also to let administrators know that there are those who are willing to shout out loud enough to make their voices be heard.
