UCSC General Assembly -- "We have heard your declaration of war"

UCSC General Assembly, 24 September 2009

Speakers, Christopher Barkan and Christopher Chitty, both graduate students in History of Consciousness. The general assembly was called by a group of graduate and undergraduate students in solidarity with the 9/24 Faculty Walkout and UPTE strike. Students assembled at the base of campus to support the picket lines and later marched up to block traffic and hold a discussion of the recent budget cuts. While this discussion was being conducted, a group occupied the Graduate Student Commons at Quarry Plaza. Members of the march rallied around the building to protect those inside from the police.

I applied to UC Santa Cruz for the History of Consciousness program, and this only strengthens my resolve to go! I hope that I get in. This seems like such a fantastic school with passionate and committed students.
