On Thursday, students at college campuses across the country took part in a “National Day of Action” to protest cuts in state funding to higher education because of the recession. Students at Louisiana State, University of California, Berkeley and University of Wisconsin, among others, staged sit-ins, submitted petitions and held rallies in an attempt to sway state legislators and avoid furthers cuts to class offerings and faculty positions. This year, UT experienced a 5-percent cut in funding from the state, an amount which comes out to about $14.6 million. So far, more than 122 faculty and staff positions have been eliminated, and many University departments have been reduced or eliminated altogether. Next year, UT’s state funding will be further reduced by 10 percent, a move that is pro- jected to result in 600 positions being cut. While UT has experienced it share of funding cuts, many college and universities around the country have had much worse. At UC-Berkeley, where more than 700 protestors staged a rally and class walkout, a state budget shortfall has resulted in a loss of $637 million in state appropriations to the UC System. As part of the “Day of Action,” protestors de- livered a letter to the UC-Berkeley administration with a list of demands including “the democ- ratization of the UC Board of Regents, free public education and full funding for ethnic studies on the campus.” Protestors marched into class rooms and pulled fire alarms before finally swarming the campus library. While the situation at UT has not escalated to the level of severity at the UC System schools, UT students must still involve themselves in the budget- ing issue if the University’s quality of education is to be maintained. Last week a coalition of UT student groups reg- istered more than 5,500 voters. While student pro- tests and other forms of action may energize their participants, establishing a viable voting block of students is the best chance for maintaining the quality of higher education in the long run.
