Despite the short notice, hundreds of students, faculty and employees turned out today at noon on the U of A mall to protest the proposed budget cuts.
Some students passing by decided to join in and have their voices heard. Many students didn't know anything about the cuts, though, so keep spreading the word. You can direct them to the local newspapers or the Daily Wildcat article from today's front page.
We'll be posting links as the local television and paper outlets report on the protest.
In the meantime, start getting ready for the ABOR meeting on Thurdsday, January 22nd.
GPSC president Stephen Bieda's message appears below:
"The Arizona Board of Regents needs to know that the students here at theUniversity of Arizona support drastic measures. Their meeting is due to takeplace at 1 pm in the Catalina/North Ballroom. Governor-in-waiting Jan Brewerand/or her designee is expected to attend this meeting, and this willdemonstrate to her the importance of the issue to our campus."
