Protest Underway at UC Berkeley
Breaking News / Education Tessa Stuart — Thu, Mar 4, 2010 at 10:13 AM
The media was out in full force in anticipation of today’s “Day of Action”: There were about as many news cameras as there were demonstrators at the intersection of Bancroft and Telegraph this morning as today’s protests against cuts to California public education got underway at UC Berkeley.

- Protestors at Sather Gate on March 4, 2010.
Crowds grew as the morning wore on, until Sather Gate was completely blocked by protesters chanting “No cuts! No fees! Education must be free!” and “Layoff Yudof,” referring to the deeply unpopular president of the UC system.
Picket lines were in effect at the Sather Gate, North Gate, and West Gate entrances to campus, and around California Hall, and are expected to remain until noon, when protesters plan to march from UC Berkeley to Oakland for a rally at Frank Ogawa Plaza, at 14th and Broadway.

Stupid hippies.....These idiots need to realize that what they are doing will not affect a single thing. GET REAL, this is the real world. Things aren't handed to you on a silver platter anymore. If you want to succeed in life, you're going to have to pay the costs. Who gives if there is a 40%+ increase?? It is still lower than private schools. By not going to school today, they just threw away 100 dollars. Idiots.....
