^ "What happened to going away to college to get something really novel.... Like an education!!!"

-That's the whole point: education. The way things are going, fewer and fewer people can afford it. Education should not be a class privelage.

To those who say the actions of Tent U are out of hand: Have you read the first amendment of the Constitution of the United States of America. It specifically ensures the freedom of peaceful assembly. Given that UCSC is a public university, peaceful assembly on its campus is 100% protected by the FIRST AMENDMENT.

Even if you care nothing about equal access to education or funding priorities, the repression of free speech by the administration and police is something that undermines the most important principles our country stands for. FREEDOM.
