Cal State set to rock with protests Thursday

SAN BERNARDINO — It’s not 1967, but our California State University campus is about to explode in protests.
Two protests, one linked to a statewide movement, are scheduled to unsettle the normally placid campus today.

Faculty, students, staff, and the administration will join to at a meeting in Santos Manuel Student Union at 10 a.m. to argue that cutting the Cal State system will exacerbate the state’s budget shortfalls.

At 11:30, a peace protest will launch in opposition to America’s involvement in the Iraq War.

The protest will include open microphones and be held at the Lower Commons patio and is hosted by Amnesty International, the Muslim Student Association and Students for Justice in Palestine.
