Students started to protest because of the high increase of tuition. With their school raising tution about 30% is hard for the students. As we have seen, if you push people to far they may start a revolution and in this case a protest. Throughout the state of California we see that the schools are cutting down on staff and rasing the tution on students. Although the state does not see that the first time they did this would it happen again. After so many schools doing cut backs such as these, they still go with the plans and raise tution. How much is enough for us as the students before we start to organize and stop conforming to these changes. Some students now today pay for their school out of pocket. What happens to them? Do we keep filtering out the poor and the lower middle class in order to keep this Marx theory of the spiral of education? What is a student to do in such a situation? We as students have no power, therefore the only for us to be considered and heard through our higher class individuals is through revolution and even sometimes violence. These students that started the protest just got the slap on the hand, which was a misdemeanor.
