The base of the UCSC campus during the statewide education protests on March 4, 2010

2010 saw dramatic cuts to the California State Budget, which had major impacts on universities and community colleges locally. Students organized in a variety of ways to make a statement, and this page represents the activity of students getting their messages out on social media websites at that time. Many of these links are outdated, but some are still active.
