 side)\n\nSan Francisco, CA - Hundreds of UC students and workers statewide 
 will join together during the November 16-18th Regents meeting to protest 
 proposals that will unnecessarily harm the public mission of the University 
 of California. On the table are proposals for a differential fee hike where 
 students whose families make over $120,000 will be facing an 8% fee 
 increase. The Regents will also be\nimposing increased pay cuts for the 
 pension decreases in retirement benefits that will effectively cut retiree 
 income in half for many employees. Protesters oppose these draconian cuts 
 and the divisive fee increases, when the university is seeing more\nrevenue 
 due to increased state funding, tuition, federal dollars and other sources. 
 They are demanding no fee hikes for ALL students and no more cuts to staff, 
 many of whom earn below a living wage.\n\nUniversity of California Students
