Students at UC Davis and college campuses around the state are planning to walk out tomorrow, at least long enough to hold noon information meetings leading to protests planned at next week’s UC Regents’ meeting.
Although such activities on the Davis campus currently seem to have less traction than on some of the other campuses, that may change as the focus on the costs of athletics and related matters become more transparent (e.g. discussions regarding the replacement of athletic director Greg Warzecka and the current administration’s athletic aspirations). As you may be aware, student costs are higher at UCD than at most of the other campuses, because of their contributions to the costs of athletics in its current configurations (e.g. through the Student Activities and Services Initiatives Fees).
More information about the call for protests at UC Davis tomorrow and at the Regents’ meeting on the 16th is available at various web sites, including:
