STOP THE CUTS

Students and faculty angry about budget cuts will have a chance to have their voice heard this Thursday.  Protesters will gather at the Eureka Courthouse between 4 and 6 p.m.
The rally is part of state-wide demonstrations meant to bring attention to the budget crisis facing public education. Organizer and California Faculty Association co-president Robin Meiggs said, “We’re trying to bring attention to the fact that public education in California has been cut so deeply that its difficult to keep the doors open.”
Most K-12 public schools throughout the county will host protests of their own. Meiggs is hoping that after starting at

the local schools protesters will go to Eureka, where they can expect speakers and chanting.
HSU students can expect to see their school represented by faculty and staff, but probably won’t see members of the administration. Meiggs asked President Rollin Richmond to endorse the rally. Richmond refused to support it.
 There will be three buses taking students and faculty to the courthouse. They will leave at 3:45 p.m. and will come back at 6:15 p.m.  Anyone with questions should contact Angela Pine at anp13@humboldt.edu, or call (707) 826-4531.
