zen_monk Today there was a protest rally in UCSC for students who are opposing the tuition increase (an increase of 5 percent per year within the next five years) that will result in about 4000 more than the usual tuition average.
And then tomorrow, student organizations have pooled money for some buses to go to San Francisco at around 5 am to protest at the UC Board of Regents against the tuition hikes, presumably in solidarity with UC Berkeley students as well.
A couple of friends I know are going, and have invited me. I already used up my absences for one of my classes, so I declined.
But still.... it's definitely a big UC event that I could probably be missing out on.
