Walkout?

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of California - Riverside

<p>Attention all UCR students;</p>

<p>On the first day of school September 24th, 2009, The UC System is calling for STUDENT / FACULTY / STAFF walkouts.</p>

<p>"Let it finally be resolved, that the University of California Student Association stand in solidarity with workers, GSE’s, staff and faculty and actively build coalitions with these groups for the purpose of the UC system-wide Walkout on September 24th and the continued defense of the future of public education in California."</p>

<p>ALL STUDENTS who do not attend class on September 24 HAVE THE SUPPORT OF THE UC STUDENT ASSOCIATION, as do instructors who walkout. Join union picket lines from 7:30 am to 3pm at the corner of Canyon Crest and University Ave next to the Arts building and the softball field and participate in campus protests against fee hikes and cuts to public education on Sept. 24.</p>

<p>With over 250 Faculty members attending I highly hope you will support the cause!</p>

<p>Classes are not canceled, However if you show up to class the likely hood of your professor being there is not likely.</p>

<p>"First they made it seem like a 9.7% increase would be it, and we all sacrificed to meet the deadlines of payments collecting money hours before it was due September 15th. Now they want to impose an additional $558 Winter quarter increase! As well as an additional $1956 increase next year. What are the Regents thinking? If this underachieving performance by the regents goes through. These walkouts on the 24th will be permanent for a lot of students. Hopes and dreams will be permanently lost." - John Faheem</p>

<p>Join The Cause and fight for a change. It is time we start the next major movement in California. Walkout @ UC Riverside September 24th, 2009.</p>

<p>Anyone going?</p>

2

<p>LOL I got an email telling me that the professor who teaches the only class I have that day canceled it.So i’ll probably end up going.</p>

3

<p>lucky. if the my class is canceled, ill go too</p>

4

<p>i never expected this to happen on my first day of education at college</p>

5

<p>i have the same situation as jeffrey so probably</p>

6

<p>I do not support this movement at all, created by selfish bastards who refuse to acknowledge that the state HAS NO MONEY</p>

7

<p>^ hahahha
they should just kick arnold off</p>

8

<p>You obviously aren’t a Poli Sci major…</p>

<p>That state budget crisis isn’t the fault of the Governor’s, but the State Legislature.</p>

9

<p>hahah guilty</p>

10

<p>The state budget problem is largely due to our poor legislature. Correct. Is this walkout going to solve the budget problem in California? Not likely.</p>

<p>I do not support the walkout on the 24th and apparently none of of my teachers do either since they remain unsigned. </p>

<p>Does anyone else find it a bit pretentious for an administrator to send an email to all UC students declaring that “classes are not canceled, however if you show up for class the likely hood of your professor being there is not likely?” I’m sure that >50% of UC professors will be participating in the walk-out. <em>rolls eyes</em></p>

11

<p>Whatev’ An Extra day of no-class is good by me.</p>

12

<p>jst be careful… some classes might drop you if you don’t show up first day of class. i mean what kinda impression is that supposed to make. D:</p>

13

<p>California is such a mess. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mexico re-conquers its former territory in the coming decade. Good luck kids =D</p>

14

<p>Or we sell San Diego to them. Take that, UCSD!!!</p>

15

<p>When this happened at my highschool, i was like “i’m not getting an absence” and went to class. But my teacher made us all go -_-</p>

<p>But this time, i’m paying for college so i want every single penny of it to count. And i’ll only have like an hour of class that day so i won’t mind. Even if i had 6 hours of class i’d still probably go to class</p>

16

<p>sigh… Cali Trumpet has a point, a point that not too many ppl realize.
the walk out isnt going to do jacksmith… big deal, we are protesting, etc etc, but this is one of those cases that even if we make our voices herd, money isn’t going appear out of the air. Its almost highschoolish, the whole walkout gig… n i can write up a 10page essay on that alone, hah! </p>

<p>It’s mostly my buddy John n his maytes that be spreadin the word on e’ oli facebooks! well at least for here at UCR. sigh that sun of a gun indeed.</p>

<p>but of course, do as you wish folks! =D if your professors did notify you that class is canceled then take the day off, otherwise as advised before dont take the risk of being dropped for not attending the first day of class.</p>

17

<p>if people are dropped will that make openings on classes.ucr.edu?</p>

18

<p>if you’re not in class if the professor is there, you’ll get dropped out of class. Worth it?</p>

19

<p>I’m not the only one who didn’t get this email am I? lol</p>

20

<p>I didn’t get an email. I got a facebook message because i’m part of a UCR group.</p>
