§UCSC's Long Range Development Plan
by lrdpresistance.org
640_crestfallen-fairy.jpg
UCSC's Long Range Development Plan is a blueprint for expanding the physical campus to accommodate approximately 4,500 new students by 2020. If this plan is fully realized, 120+ acres of biodiverse forested habitat in the "upper campus" area will be destroyed. The proposed expansion would worsen student/undergraduate life, and have a dramatic adverse effect on the already overcrowded and overpriced Santa Cruz area.

Now is the time for all those who care about the forest and the are disgusted by the idea of "The UC of Silicon Valley" to wake from our academic slumber and resist the LRDP. The "final draft" may have been signed by the Regents' fountain pens, but as yet, these plans remain nothing but a stack of papers.
It is not too late to change their course.
