Comments on: More UCSC Rumblings of Occupation http://oehlberg.com/blog/2009/11/19/more-ucsc-rumblings-of-occupation/ It's not a big truck Tue, 13 Jul 2010 04:31:06 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: el samayo grande http://oehlberg.com/blog/2009/11/19/more-ucsc-rumblings-of-occupation/comment-page-1/#comment-519 el samayo grande Sat, 21 Nov 2009 03:05:07 +0000 http://oehlberg.com/blog/?p=824#comment-519 The other thing is that I'm not seeing anybody take responsibility. The students (and their parents) are understandably angry - and while the administration is paying lip service, there needs to be some action taken. Somebody should resign in protest, at the very least. This is a serious debacle that will drop Berkeley and UCLA out of that elite ranking and make them just 2 more regular state schools, and bump the rest of the UCs down even further. Occupation of buildings may not be the answer but it's not like kids who are going to have to drop out for lack of money have anything to lose.

It's an interesting look at the situation from a faculty perspective. I also really liked the first comment. <a href="http://www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/2009/11/the-ucla-tuition-riot.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.professorbainbridge.com/professorbainbridgecom/2009/11/the-ucla-tuition-riot.html</a> I found this article by a UCLA law professor.
