Hey Janet Napolitano, anyone okaying one dime of taxpayer money being put into this dump should be fired and prosecuted for theft.

It may offer the best political science course on campus, but the lessons are lost on bureaucrats: UC-San Diego's fabled "Che Cafe" is awash in red ink and in need of a bailout.
Students have run the restaurant, named for Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara, for 34 years, but they've steered it into the ground. Boasting of "exorbitantly low" prices, the vegan co-op and concert venue that once hosted an up-and-coming Nirvana has cost the student body nearly $1 million over the years, and isn't kept up to fire or safety codes. The ragtag band of volunteer staffers, who call themselves a "collective," faced eviction in March, but have persuaded the school to save their beloved stronghold.
"I would say the current students have gotten a lot more involved in the Ché since all this started," Fabiola Orozco, a fourth-year psychology major and Ché collective member, told the San Diego Reader.
"To execute a man we don't need proof of his guilt." - Che Guevara
Orozco was involved in talks with school Chancellor Pradeep Khosla, who is in talks to have the school pay for a new fire suppression sprinkler system, a fire alarm pull system, tempered windows, and a "travel/exit path evaluation" -- all items needed to bring the building up to code.

Yuck! I’d think that the health department would close that pigsty down. Looks downright nasty.
If they raise their minimum wage to $15 an hour, that will help them out.
It looks like you could catch ecoli just by walking passed it.
Restroom
This is either the dance floor or a Jungle Gym
HA! My old band use to pack that place out two or three times a year when we toured the West Coast.
Not that it’s a big place or anything, but still. It’s hard to be the band sometimes.
Well, if I was in charge, I’d offer a course in “Singing the Praises of Socialism”, and a passing grade would be given only if the students could make a go of it, without burdening their fellow comrades through student fees and costing the UC system any funds.
I’m really happy you survived it. ;-)
A little scabies never hurt nobody. : )
It looks like an Obamaville.
Open letter to the governor, legislators and Marxist, socialist, Democrat voters in CA: You are taking a great state and turning it into a third world banana republic.
Please look at what you are doing.

Chrissie Hynde’s Vegan restaurant in Akron failed miserably too.
How do you run a million dollar debt up out of a 5 thousand dollar facility? With a captive customer base?
I just got back from Nicaragua....looks like some of the slum cafe/grocerias we saw.
Looks like a fire trap.
A vegan firetrap not-up-to-code restaurant staffed by a collective. What could possibly go wrong?
They’re idiots.
A business failure may not teach them anything, what with them being idiots and all that, but a bailout certainly won’t teach them anything.
Yep...For the life of me I can’t understand an administration that would let this go on for the years it has. The liability for serious injury or death from fire or accident to the University must be huge.
