.CSUEB Students Present Demands, End Protest Peacefully

The protests at Cal State University East Bay today included several speeches by students and faculty, and musical and spoken-word performances. In his speech, Thomas Candelario, director of Legislative Affairs of the Associated Students of CSUEB, said, “We can no longer rely on an inept legislature that continues to cut us at every opportunity. Today let them receive notice that we will no longer lie down and accept cuts to the quality of our education and future.” Another powerful speech was given by Craig Collins, a political science professor who has taught in the CSU system for seventeen years but will be laid off in the Spring due to budget cuts.
