The short explanation of this alert was:

UPDATE: 11/19/09 5:49 pm EST Fee hike was passed, students report they have sealed all exits and Regents are trying to sneak out to avoid accountability. Let them know they can run but they can't hide!

UPDATE 11/19/09 3:44 pm EST: Your e-mails are working! Three of the UC Regents e-mails are bouncing-- this means they are either blocking your e-mails or you have flooded their inboxes to capacity! Keep it up! Last night tent city participants occupied a building let's keep supporting the community's voice over private interests!

As budget cuts devastate many of our campuses, the state of California is facing one of the worst budgetary crises in the nation. The UC Regents have approved an unprecedented 32% fee increase for students and they continue to carry out devastating cuts and reductions to campus workers and faculty. Hundreds of students, workers, and faculty have been rallying since Wednesday, November 18, 2009 to demand the UC Regents prioritize the needs of the larger community and have come up with an alternate budget that would save the UC system millions of dollars. Over a dozen students have already been arrested in these protests. As we continue to organize locally to demand that our schools prioritize the needs of the campus community and broader public over the needs of a privileged few, tell the UC Regents to stop attacking public education and working people!
