UC Riverside students rally against tuition hikes

Sadly, the UC system is catching up with other colleges throughout the country in terms of tuition costs. I hope every liberal pro-illegal alien professor faced with furlough days and every student whose mommy received welfare benefits thinks twice before complaining about tuition increases.

Bill could you please give us citations of your facts. Regardless this state is going to hell in a hand bag. We need to fire every single politician in Sacramento and start new. Then we need to impose a 4 year term limit.

This is an excellent opportunity for students to organize, protest, and work towards a desirable outcome. Most students are voting age and adding the numbers, they will tip the scale and succeed providing the students change the "thinking mechanism" of education.

Education should not be reserved to those who have the economic privilege. Also, educators are not servants of the Government. Why should an educator have to reduce his or her standard of living to serve the Government? Most educators are forced to leave their comfort zone of middle class living because of Government mismanagement.

Educators like doctors are traders in a free market,and an overhaul in "thinking" is mandatory
to mitigate the educational system from socialism or neo-communism.

Who can afford college these days?

"Educators like doctors are traders in a free market"
What gibberish!

First, your comment is unprofessional. Please, explain "gibberish?"

Secondly, "Who can afford college these days?" Unless students protest I observe an undesirable educational system for the future: the bourgeoisie and proletariat. Today, we have an excellent political climate to organize, protest, and seeking change like the 1960's. Baby boomers were shakers and quakers challenging the Vietnam war, civil rights, and women's rights. I had the privilege to be part of all the above.

Deanna Adams,

Your nonsensical phrase is gibberish in the purest form. Since your word attack skills fail you, gibberish, in the context it's used, means garbage. I used to be a hippy in the sixties, but I don't live in the past. You seem to be caught in a sixties time warp.

First, I am always skeptical of anyone hiding behind a pseudo name. This gives an opportunity for abuse, and twisting responses to suit a fragile ego. People who use pseudo names are afraid of transparency fearing the possibility of a psychological sabotage from responses contrary to their beliefs. They lack the confidence to boldly write and speak in public, and proclaim how they stand on issues. I am not afraid to use my real name because a freer mind is less fearful.

Secondly, living in the past is contrary to looking at history. Wisdom is studying, examining, and observing the three movements of the sixties.

Third, the climate is ripe for protest like the sixties because the population is discontent and restless.

So what if you're skeptical? You're nuts.

California Sun

It appears that you do not possess the skill to communicate except by a silly statement, you're nuts." I find your statement primitive.

More gibberish.

California Sun has limited vocabulary and lacks the skill of communicating clearly. That is gibberish..........

Get real...these students are barely self-aware organisms at this stage, and are easily influenced by the politically active professors who have no clue about the real world or trying to make a living outside of the government trough. The professors are using the students to make a political statement, and the students are too immature to even know it.

Deanna Adams is clueless.

I am a student at Cal State and the University of California. Students find the system abusive and find ways to organize and protest. You will be pleasantly surprise of what is going on within the University system. So, please do not underestimate the mind of our youth. You appear to stereo-type according to your perception. Take a political course at Cal State and University of California and find out how students engage in current events. So, please do not make foolish comments, unless you are a student, observe, and participate.

"You will be pleasantly surprise of what is going within the University system."
This is hardly a pleasant surprise. You are a moron, in my opinion, of course.

since UC Riverside is a mostly white school the whites should pay more so the blacks can go for free.we deserves this we done suffered 200 years of slavery

Shaeesaha,

You don't write well enough to deserve to go to college. You are not a slave. You never have been. You never will be. You are an American.

If you can't afford UCR, maybe try going to Cal State or another alternative. They are not obligated to provide tuition at a price you like. I have a few condos surrounding UCR and the Asians that rent them always pay on the first, and don't complain about rental increases.

What is going on in the University System? Please be accurate and write in detail of your personal knowledge at Cal State and University of California, Riverside. Are you in a political or economic class?

Are you a student? I don't think so. Most baby boomers do not return to school because it takes energy, initiative, and dedication.

By the time the baby boomer retires the boomer is worn out, tired, and beat by an abusive economic system.

Since 1970's the living wage has slightly increased, and in order to keep up with consumption and inflation borrowing money was the alternative for the masses: credit cards and mortgage lending. The collapse of the system is the sum of deplorable living wages supporting inflation plus being grossly in debt. Now, there is no more money to borrow and the living wage remains deplorable plus combating inflation will force business to change in order to survive. One remedy is for businesses to have the worker as a partner and be equal in voting, decision and money making. No more profiteering of CEO's.

Something has to give because soon China and others will refuse to buy bad debt, and there will be no other country that can help us because of their own struggles and lack of confidence in America.

The result of the collapse is that the population is exhausted and cannot keep up juggling the american dream because of perverse capitalism, inflation, and deplorable living wages.

Personally, I am not interested in communicating and waste my intellect, unless you contribute in an academic manner.
