Students to host walk-out/teach-in
Students of Cal Poly Pomona will host a walkout/teachin on Nov. 19 to promote awareness and empower students about the cuts coming to the CSU and UC systems.
The goal of the walkout/teach-in is to change the feeling of hopelessness and apathy that many students have toward public policy.
The walkout/teach-in will have various speakers - faculty and teachers and cover topics surrounding the budget cuts as well as possible solutions to the problem.
Walkout will begin at 11:30 a.m. and meet up at the rally point in the University Park by noon -- The grassy area in the middle of buildings 5,6, and 8.
There will be an arts component to the teach-in, students are asked to express how the budget cuts have affected them through art, poerty etc.
