<div>Hi folks,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm sending you a couple of links and a couple of flyers re protest actions this week, including a reminder about the teach-in at UCR tomorrow (Monday). Unfortunately I'm not in Riverside on Mondays but I hope at least a few of you will be able to attend; and even if you can't, it would be helpful if you could pass the word on to your students if you haven't done so already.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm including a flyer and a link that gives detailed info about what's happening on the UCLA campus this week, for those of you who plan or want to show up but aren't sure what's happening when and where. Perhaps not surprisingly, there's a marked dearth of organization and activity on the part of the UCLA senate faculty; but there's an amazing amount of energy and enthusiasm being generated by students and union members, who are helping to put together an all-nighter (as well as an early 'morninger') on Wednesday, first outside of the Regents meeting and later in front of Pauley Pavilion, where there will be an evening of food, drink, music, protest, and a 'tent city' for those who come from outside LA (I think, though, you have to bring your own tent; blankets would be a good idea too).</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Finally, I'm sending along the link to a petition from UC Berkeley calling on the regents to postpone the student fee hikes. A number of faculty across all campuses have already signed the petition and I hope you will consider doing so also (if you haven't already). Even if the fee hikes are enacted (as seems more than likely) it's important that there be a record of the amount of opposition that exists among all sectors of the UC community.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div> </div>
