Madeline Perez, our UC-Davis correspondent, reports this morning (11/30/11) that the tents of occupation are still standing on campus, students are sleeping in them, one professor has a sign on his tent saying “office hours,” and the campus is abuzz with organized Occupy activities put on by the students. She emailed us the following items:
Read the list of organized activities as reported in the California Aggie, the school paper, and as handed out in flyer form on campus. There’s everything from workshops on “cops off campus–the safer university” to “reflect on the now–where is occupy in the future of protests” to “budget blues–UC fiscal structure.” http://www.theaggie.org/2011/11/28/an-abridged-schedule/
Read the Aggie’s main webpage.http://www.theaggie.org/
Listen to the first six minutes of the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and his excellent skit on the the pepper spraying incident (“There must be a better way of getting students to move.”) And mimicking in guttural tones the words of Chancellor Linda Katehi {“The chancellor has spoken” to budget ) http://www.hulu.com/watch/305032/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-mon-nov-28-2011
Repeating for emphasis: As the Louis Dunn cartoon put it so eloquently in the previous Bruce blog: UC-Davis: Where real education begins.
