No LOL for this one
Fee increases!
"No, no, fee increases are bad, but I don't have a better idea. Hey, why won't you listen to me?"
“We’re really tired of lip service,” said Liz Hall, ASUC external affairs vice president. “It’s hard to continue fighting when they’re not fighting for us.”
Uhh... do I need to state the obvious? Let's go to Iraq. "It's hard to keep fighting these guys when they're not on our side." Yeah, that's sort of how fighting works.
The UC students, who came from campuses across the state, tore off their shirts over their clothes to show the regents that years of student fee increases were effectively stripping the shirts off students’ backs.
Strangely, I have not seen an increase in shirtless students on campus.
“You stand here and say that this university has quality,” said UC San Diego student Christopher Sweeten. “Quality is sitting right here, but quality is about to leave because quality can no longer afford to be here.”
Regent Bob Bobson then responded, "Well, okay, bye."
