Map

Tomorrow is the official "day of action" to demonstrate against California higher education cuts, but the verve from the state's recent protests -- along with recent announcements of tuition hikes in other states -- has spread nationwide.

According to the website StudentActivism.net, more than 100 events will be taking place tomorrow in 32 states. (See updated MAP of events)

Events range from a rally at the University of Texas-Austin to a teach-in at the University of North Dakota.

A degree in the USA will put you in debt for your whole adult life. Shame that this country puts a price on everything. I'm still waiting for them to charge us to breath. You are forced to not be born free, you have to pay to die, and you have to follow some political guidelines that say everything has a rising price except your wage. Your tax deductions are suppose to never go back to you or benefit your country; instead it's petty cash for personal ideological wasteful spending. We are slaves to a society dictating what goes as if there is no humane way to survive. They tell you there is only one way to operate a country and you believe it. Who said the authority to dictate the way humans survive is righteous and infinite? Depriving all citizens of a good education is preventing progress, innovation and the right to live free from enslavement.

You are primative and still operate as modern Romans whose end came when greed spread throughout the government and upper class.

Nothing like trust fund babies marching in the streets joined by union members with sweet pensions.

Nothing like the rich leading the charge for freebies.

How bout Harvard, Yale and Berkley all volunteer to provide a free education to all who want to attend their Uni's?

Soros can unleash some of those billions and form a "non-profit" school...call it Che U.

You are ignorant. Many students shoulder the burdens of a job and school at the same time. They don't come from wealth.

And why the heck aren't the parents who are paying for college or forcing their kids to take loans out protesting, too? I'd do it. Maybe I just will...

Which means that the Repugnicans are not as dumb as we thought they were? Or just that the American electorate is dumber?

Unfortunately, students can protest all they want on the UT-Austin campus and it won't do them any good. The one thing you can always expect anyone from Texas running for elected office to talk about is cutting taxes. They may say they want a better education for our students, they may say they want responsible reforms, but all Texans really want is not to pay taxes. Students in this state are not going to see any help, because, like all state governments, ours is struggling. If you refuse to raise taxes, and greater services are necessary, you have no options. Our state is splitting into the poor and working classes versus the well-to-do and rich. And they wonder why our high school drop-out rate is through the roof.

Sounds like Alabama. All the candidates for governor have talked tax cuts. I don't know how you can possibly reduce nothing, which is pretty much what we pay now.

Hmmm....and Texas is the best run state in the union. Besides Alaska they are also the most solvent. Coincidence? I think not. The progressive agenda these kids are indoctrinated with through public education and college have destroyed our country.

Bad idea.

As you well know, we must keep everyone as ignorant as possible.

Helps assure profits.

Maybe the union bosses could contribute some of those sweet pension funds to the scholarship pool.

The federal dollars to land grant universities largely disappeared years ago, but universities are still paying for particular areas that became bloated under those federal dollars during their hayday. Agriculture departments, for example, have low teaching loads and low student numbers but high number of faculty.

Please note: your URL has an errant comma in it. It should be:

If you think public education is expensive, consider the alternative.
