So does everyone else once they get called on it :D

UWM has raised tuition more times in the past 15 years than they had in the entire 39 years prior to that (when they became part of the UW system). If that doesn't bother you, then more power to ya... but don't start in with a bunch of knee-jerk reactionary garbage just because you don't like the fact that people are (correctly) pointing out that there's something wrong about that.

What a bunch of douchebag kids.

@NykSolas Government subsidized student loans have allowed colleges to keep increasing tuition. If you don't want college tuition to keep going up, get the government out of providing guaranteed student loans.

I am all about protesting for rights, justice, and freedom, but this protest seemed a bit silly. I realize that many college students are coming into their own and finding what they are passionate about, but 1. Protesting budget cuts and tuition increases doesn't get you anywhere. 2. Screaming "Peaceful Protest" is not PEACEFUL. 3. If protesting and asked to leave the property, you have to leave if it is not public property. Even if it's a public college, it's not public property.

@ganggreensoldier Right...until you get a job there. Then you're part of corporate America. Welcome to the real world.

If these morons want to protest anything, they should have gone to the State Capitol. The people that work in the university system have no control over salaries, tuition costs etc. The state of WI is in charge of that. Blame them instead. Idiots.

okay its a peaceful protest but things were being thrown at the police? smh they should know by now that you can't touch an officer let alone throw things at them and act all suprised when you get arrested. think people. you have a brain use it for good.

The funny thing is that they were protesting outside the chancellor's office...the chancellor has no control over tuition rates. it's the board of regents who raise/lower tuition
