you know, i really want to say something, but what? i’m pissed about the tuition increase. i’m pissed that some of the classes i wanted to take were cut. i’m pissed that my professors, many of which work their butts off, are taking a pay cut and i’m pissed that i have to pay MORE MONEY and i’m getting LESS EDUCATION!
it’s ridiculous. but i honestly dont know how we can fix it. it’s easy to point the finger and say, we need to stop this, we need to do that, but in reality, it takes a lot more than pointing fingers to accomplish something. anyway, i’ll be at the next rally, and the one after that, and the one after that. and i write my congressman in complaint. and i will stand up and shout out how angry we all are about all this crap, and maybe, just maybe, someone will listen and things will change.

I hate to get political, but there is a simple solution to all our problems. PULL OUT of Iraq. We’ll get our money back and this nightmare will be all over. This is precisely why I didn’t vote.

People need to look through the budget and suggest what needs to be cut. Protest for transparency. But please, don’t blindly believe that CSU is evil for not wanting to run a debt that will only hurt students more than any tuition increase.

People who think that there’s nothing we can do are so hopeless. “It’s the state’s problem… we have to make the most of a bad time.” Where did the 10% from the budget cuts go? Do you honestly think the admin is doing their best to save our classes and professors? No. There is definitely mismanagement going on within our own administration. Milton Gordon wants you to believe that it’s only a state issue so you just shut up and take it; are you going to keep bending over?

BUDGET CRISIS is not a phrase that answers all my questions or smooths everything over. Raise tuition, cuts everywhere you have to be a real complacent jerk to be satisfied/comfortable with these changes in our education.

The state is bankrupt! Since the state is in a budget crisis, there has been cuts in funding to education. In order to make up for the shortfall, tuition has been increased.

Is CSUF Bankrupt???

So where the hell is the money that was cut from the CSU budget supposed to come from? Every single part of California is broke right now so I don’t seen how the state is going to pull money out of its ass for just the universities. These protests are pointless.

I really want to know why “The Elephant in the Room” thinks protesting on campus is going to do anything. Everyone is upset over the state of things. Being louder about it and yelling to the people that feel the same way as you isn’t going to make things better. Be courageous! Hold a protest in front of your local legislator’s office! That’s going to be a lot more effective in getting your point across and probably get more publicity.

In regards to the ASI hot dog comment: what do you want your money spent on?! You don’t want it to go to food to feed you so that you have lunch? If you don’t like how they’re spending your money, then go tell them! You have no right to sit here and bitch and moan unless you are going to do something about it!

Go figure – when you’re upset about your education being interrupted by furlough days, it only seems logical to interrupt the studying of other students with your protest against it.

Bollocks. Another angry group of protesters wasting their time marching around to throw a temper-tantrum instead of actually showing up to vote down the major budget expenditures in Sacramento and vote out the corrupted state politicians.

If our young people represent the future of America, I suppose I should probably change my major to Chinese.

If the faculty were really in support of student fee increases then why hasn’t the California Faculty Associaton (CFA) ever taken a stance on student fee increases? THEY HAVE NEVER DONE THIS. It is only when the faculty union feels threatened that they decide to leverage and manipulate the student voice. I hope you all open your eyes and realize what is going on with the bigger picture. These harsh conditions are not the fault of CSUF or the Administration or the CSU. All of these decisions start in Sacramento. So instead of creating a mutiny against the admin why don’t you all work together…faculty, staff, students and administrators. Also, can we be civil and not make ignorant, misinformed comments please? Seek the facts or risk becoming a blabbering fool with no credibility, therefore halting your movement before it even starts.
And the ASI hot dogs comments..really? Have you lowered your mentality that far that you’re going to complain about ASI actually trying to engage the student body by feeding them and also trying to inform them at the same time. Can anyone do anything right for you people?
