I don't know about the student numbers, but somewhere between 10 and 15% of the faculty participated. Many who didn't walk out did teach-ins in class to highlight the issues.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09716705206734059708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-27637380100524966482009-09-26T09:20:36.697-07:002009-09-26T09:20:36.697-07:00Great post!

The other eight campuses all had to organize protest rallies on the first day of classes, which posed a substantial problem for organizers (they were coordinating the student protests with the faculty walkout scheduled for the first day of classes). My understanding is that the two were not originally the same, such that coordinating the protests to coincide with the faculty walkouts necessarily meant taking on some extra difficulties in organizing and logistics (making the numbers that did protest all the more remarkable). <br /><br />That's no excuse for Merced though; they also started classes a month ago! ;)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10505845165131255374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-79940362519526397352009-09-26T06:47:25.941-07:002009-09-26T06:47:25.941-07:00i accidentally posted the same comment twice, so t...i accidentally posted the same comment twice, so that's what got deleted. sorry. :)Maudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918488082176862598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-64746908775610828552009-09-26T06:46:19.025-07:002009-09-26T06:46:19.025-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Maudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918488082176862598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-24596235243377636342009-09-26T06:46:00.598-07:002009-09-26T06:46:00.598-07:00what a great post!

I mean for it's information, not because it's great the the UC school system has to go through this, but what a great rally of people across the state to fight for something so important. this is why I love California.<br /><br />Thanks for the post and the links!!Maudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11918488082176862598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7366909960546184927.post-66986697105985240682009-09-25T21:09:49.401-07:002009-09-25T21:09:49.401-07:00Thanks for this post and these links.Thanks for this post and these links.undinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05589384016564587214noreply@blogger.com
