On Thursday, thousands of faculty, students and staff at University of California campuses plan to walk out. They say it’s a reaction to UC officials proposing tuition hikes and furloughs to contend with $800 million in state budget cuts. We discuss the university’s fiscal reality, and the available alternatives.

Guests:

Nanette Asimov, education reporter for The San Francisco Chronicle

Lawrence Pitts, interim provost and executive vice president for academic affairs for the University of California

Victor Sanchez, president of the University of California Student Association

Judith Butler, professor in the departments of Rhetoric and Comparative Literature at UC Berkeley
