UC Faculty offers support to protestors

Oh and if you'd like to see the UC Davis video again......here it is with an update!

A petition is being circulated by UC Faculty Association: The petition was looking for 25,000 signatures, to date they have received over 47,000 supporters standing in solidarity.

This week, we have seen excessive force used against non-violent protesters at UC Berkeley, UCLA, CSU Long Beach, and UC Davis...We demand that the Chancellors of the University of California cease using police violence to repress non-violent political protests...We call for greater attention to the substantive issues that motivate the protests regarding the privatization of education. With massive cuts in state funding and rising tuition costs...public education is undergoing a severe divestment. Student debt has reached unprecedented levels as bank profits swell. Signed, The Board of the Council of UC Faculty Associations
