Budget Protests at California Universities
Peter Jon Shuler/KQED
Occupy Cal protesters on UC Berkeley's Sproul Plaza.
Protesters with Occupy Cal have called for a general strike across all colleges and universities in California today, in part to protest tuition hikes and budget cuts. In the CSU system Thursday, faculty members are striking at two campuses over teacher pay. We check in with the UC, CSU and those striking against the school systems about what can be done in the face of state budget cuts to higher education.
