Freshman Magali Flores, and ethnic studies major, was locked arm-in-arm with other students outside Wheeler, one day after she'd returned from protests at UCLA, where the regents met this week.
"It's horrible, how could they possibly do this?" she said of the fee increases.
Flores acknowledged the increase would not affect her because her family earns less than $70,000, and tuition remains free. However, she said that she's already in debt from cost of living, registration fees, and books, totaling $10,000.

“UC Berkeley students take over building”
In other news, the sun rose at dawn this morning.
“Freshman Magali Flores, and ethnic studies major”
Better learn how to pole dance, dearie.
“Walden said the students had two demands: The reinstatement of 38 custodians who were recently fired or laid off, and to be able to leave the building without having to face any legal trouble.”

I smell flop-sweat, looks like the revolution will have to wait.
“However, she said that she’s already in debt from cost of living, registration fees, and books, totaling $10,000.”
Compare this to state schools elsewhere with similar scholastic prestige. Still a bargain!
LOL!
“However, she said that she’s already in debt from cost of living, registration fees, and books, totaling $10,000.”
Then go to a cheaper school! No wonder she’s an ethnic studies student. She would fail out of business classes!
Throw them some Obama free stuff and they’ll go home!
Typical left wing Californians. They expect everything and think it will be paid “by someone else” or that they are simply entitled to it.
Party’s over, the bills are due. Pay up, you freeloaders!
That’s pretty funny right there, and I don’t care who you are.
The 3 protestors quoted are:
* an ethnic studies major
* a Middle Eastern studies and political science major
* a peace and conflict studies major
And what about the majors of students who are not protesting, you ask? “An electrical engineering student, Zach Jacobson, rushed toward the protesters yelling, “Stop it, go away, go home.”
Tuition SHOULD go up for the protesting twits who major in useless subjects, and be free for students who major in something useful, like EE.
I guess he's never heard of the word "whose."
No wonder the education there is free for some. It's worthless.
LMAO!
Nobel Peace Prizes and birth certificates are cheap these days....
ETHNIC STUDIES?????????? Get off the free ride and get a job bitch.
where's my popcorn?
Excellent summary and conclusion. Thank you.
We wonder why the US is getting smoked in the physical, biological, and engineering sciences.
