Oct 7th Day of Action
Students, workers, & faculty gather in solidarity to defend public education. My day began in the morning with a faculty-led teach out at CA Hall, followed by a large rally at Sproul and ending with a 600-person sit in at Doe Library.
At the teach out I learned that, out of the hundreds of choices UCB previously had for engineering students to choose from to fulfill the humanities requirement, they now have only 20 options. There was also talk of ethnic studies fields being condensed into a single major: As opposed to the Native American, Asian American, & Chicano/Latino Studies there is now a sole Ethnic Studies Major covering all racially marginalised groups in the US. Speaking of marginalised groups: someone brought up the fact that males are the ones depicted on posters of the student movement (for ex, the fist used on posters to represent the struggle).
