September 24th, 12pm Sproul Plaza: Be there

To all my Berkeley friends,  12 pm at Sproul plaza tomorrow.  Together with the faculty, staff and students of all 10 campuses of the UC system, we are going to let the UC leadership and the state of California know that they cannot continue to underfund education in this state.  I'll be at the north end of LeConte at 11:40 if you want to walk over together. 



"When I am out on the quad tomorrow, it will be with the intention of motivating the leadership in this university to fight, fight like hell, to make the case to the public and the legislature that we MUST support a public option for higher education." --John Conway, UC Davis Physics Professor 

Update: SAVE the University, an organization of Berkeley faculty, has an excellent, reasoned document on the details of the situation.

    I fear this situation may be coming to Michigan soon. A state committee just voted today 4-2 to completely cut out the Michigan Promise scholarship, a scholarship that funds nearly 6,100 students tuition on campus, and that's at UofM alone, not including MSU, CMU, WMU, EMU, etc. Good luck!
