UC students are independent of the WMDs developed at Lawrence Livermore and Los Alamos financially and morally. Why?

1) We have no decision making power regarding the handeling of the labs. It is all determined by the UC Regents, corporate figureheads appointed by the governor. Yet we still fight to make our voice heard in opposition to their management.

2) Financially, UC students aren't paying for the labs - the labs are actually a money maker for the UC, as they receive $$ from the U.S. gov for management. Any money they make is recirculated into research at those labs. So we students don't give or receive a dime. Thus, our tuition is not paying for them and we aren't supporting them.
