DescriptionSTUDENTS! On November 18, the Regents of the University of California are voting to raise your fees by 32% this year!
What this means:
*Thousands of students who are already facing massive loans and multiple jobs will now have to face the possibility of dropping out.
*The economic burden of the budget crisis is being unfairly placed on the shoulders of the students, rather than on those who created this crisis.
*The University of California's mission of affordable quality education is being dismantled.
In response, there will be UC-wide protests scheduled for November 18, 19 and 20. A system-wide student and teaching strike Nov 18-20 has been endorsed by several groups, including the UC Davis Solidarity Coalition.
Northern California campuses are encouraged to participate in a massive, multi-campus rally at UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza on November 18. There will be a massive rally at NOON. Southern California will have a rally at the Regents meeting at UCLA on the 19th.
****UC DAVIS!!!****

Where to meet: In front of the Mondavi Center.
When: Wednesday, November 18, 9 AM SHARP!
