I actually think that strike may move things, if only more people get behind it and shame the legislature into doing something. Students should definitely do something, it’s their experience and education, and the parents should be pushing too, because it’s their money. If the parents say the University better settle with the professors and the students or they will sue for a refund it may move things along. Clearly nothing else, even common sense, has moved the legislature…
Ultimately, striking is a desperate action, and the system has reached its end point when it decided to charge extra for credits necessary to graduate in 4 years (IE., above 12 credits).
