The Davis Faculty Association supports the ongoing efforts of students at UC Davis and across the UC system to defend the public mission of our university by protesting ongoing tuition increases. We commend the persistence and the courage of UC students as they continue to voice their concerns in the highest traditions of free speech and civil disobedience. We also affirm the example of our colleagues at UC Berkeley who, in the face of violent police repression, stood in solidarity with UC Berkeley students November 9th. We support the efforts of UC Davis faculty to stand in solidarity with the student movement.
