Students at CSULB rally to fight against tuition increase on Tuesday. Many of the students that are leading the rally helped the Faculty during their fight for a new contract and a "better CSU system." Many things that the California Faculty Association (CFA) did to appeal to students was that they were fighting for us the students. Classes are always being canceled and students are forced to fight for the few spots in the classes need for them to graduate. They also talked about the continual increase in tuition and how the CSU system was made up for the working class. In the new contract for the faculty no where does any of the issues used to rally students were mentioned. The CFA had left the student's well being on the side of the road, while it drove off in a new Corvette.
Helen Doe, A 18-year-old, a junior political science major said "Students with computers started networking." However, when I asked who was backing the rally, one of the major contributor's are the CFA. I then asked her how she felt about the new contract and how everything they said they were fighting about for students didn't even get mentioned in the contract. Her face looked a little annoyed and sad, then she said that they did what they had to... Blah, Blah, Blah. Obviously she didn't want to talk badly about the group that was now supporting her cause.
