Protest Fee Hikes, Classroom Cuts, and Faculty Lay Offs!

Walk out of classes and meet in quad, look for banners and signs!

Students at CSU Stanislaus are paying more and getting less. Classes have been eliminated, winter term has been abolished, and classroom sizes have skyrocketed. Staff and faculty are victims of massive layoffs and furlough days. The CSU system is becoming a corporation.

All the while, President Hamid Shirvani and the Board of Trustees rake in salaries in the hundreds of thousands with massive car and housing allowances. Why do we continue to allow our fees to rise and classes to be cut while the rich administrators line their pockets with our money? On December 9th, we as a united body of faculty, staff, and students say enough! Join the walkout and take the fight to Shirvani's
doorstep!
