In the 60's it was Vietnam. It has taken 40 years and the collapse of our economy for students to again rally against something.
Today it is in California against the University of California for increases in fees. But students across the country are feeling the impact of increase fees and costs.

Students Storm UCLA Building to Protest Expected UC System Fee Increase
About 30 students stormed UCLA’s Campbell Hall and barricaded the doors with chains and bike locks early this morning to protest a student fee increase that is expected to be endorsed by the University of California’s Board of Regents today.
The proposed two-step student fee increase would raise UC undergraduate education costs more than $2,500, or 32%.The annual cost of a UC education, not including campus-based fees would rise to $10,302.
Increased cost of tuition, reduction in scholarships, grants and loans and a reduction in job availability has led to this student revolt. It is now small but it has potential to grow. Where will the next protest take place?
