UC Regents coming to UCSC!

the infamous Regents of the University of California will be touring the UCSC campus this wednesday and thursday (October 18-19,2006). everyone is encouraged to come to the action being held at BAYTREE PLAZA on WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 18 at 2:45. there will be a march, rally & action to protest the undemocratic ways of the Regents. it is their legal obligation to provide a 15 minute comment period during their visit, which is going to be held at the new Humanities building near Cowell College on wednesday at 3:45. As many of us have already experienced, the Regents don't give a fuck what we have to say and the 15 minutes is a farce put on to justify their existence. so why don't we make our voices heard and stage our own speak out among students, workers, faculty and community members to highlight the unacceptable behavior of the Regents.

what we're going to address:
•irresponsable and destructive expansion of campus
•militarized research in the service of war
•unfair labor practices and low wages
•cuts to academic programs
•poor outreach and retention practices
•increased tuition
•over-crowded classes
•unwelcoming environment for AB540 students
