 Breslauer 12.9.09\n\nAt Rockridge BART station Oakland, 5:30 p.m. December 
 9, 2009\n\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\n\nContact: 	Liz Perlman (510) 316-4772, 
 Lead Organizer AFSCME 3299\n		Hank Chapot (510) Gardener, UC Berkeley (510) 
 504-3538\n\nLAID-OFF WORKERS and STUDENTS MARCH FOR UC FAMILIES - vigil at 
 Chancellor's home\n\nWHEN:	Wednesday December 9, 5:30pm-7pm 
 \nWHERE:	Rockridge BART Station, College Ave, Oakland\nGroups target UC 
 Berkeley Administrator George Breslauer demanding an end to\nunnecessary 
 lay-offs, privatization efforts, and police violence against 
 students.\n\n\nLaid-off custodians and students facing 32% increases in 
 their UC tuition will march on UC Berkeley top administrator George 
 Breslauer’s house on Wednesday, demanding accountability for the recent 
 fee hikes, lay-offs and brutal force used by police against peaceful 
 student protesters during the November UC Regents Meeting. Breslauer is a 
 key decision-maker at UC Berkeley, signing off on lay-offs, privatization 
 of campus shuttle drivers and violent police conduct at peaceful student 
 actions to defend public education.\n\nStudent fee increases have priced 
 many students, and many custodians’ kids out of the UC system, 
 endangering the Master Plan for Higher Education’s promise of an 
 affordable, accessible education for any Californian who qualifies. Recent 
 reports have documented the use of student fee monies as collateral for 
 servicing future debt on construction projects. \n\n“It makes no sense to 
 raise student fees to build new buildings and then cut maintenance staff so 
 the old buildings get run-down.”  					\n							Arnold Meza, UC Berkeley 
 Custodian, 19 years\n\nNearly 40 custodian and building maintenance workers 
 have been laid-off in recent budget cuts, resulting in uncollected trash 
 throughout Berkeley offices and classrooms. Breslauer and other campus 
 administrators have refused to meet with custodians regarding the impacts 
 of lay-offs on the health and safety of UC Berkeley campus. \n\n\n\nGeorge 
 Breslauer is  UC Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost - Academic Affairs 
 and Faculty Welfare - Teaching, Learning, Academic Planning and 
 Facilities\n\n\n\n
