Protesters hit streets to decry education budget cuts (UCSC)

SANTA CRUZ � UC Santa Cruz students angry about budget cuts and fee hikes took to the streets Wednesday afternoon, one of many rallies around the state to protest cuts in higher education funding.

About 125 students gathered outside the County Government Center in a rally sponsored by Action in Defense of Education, a network of students and teachers. <snip>

They were joined by union leaders representing campus workers and a sprinkling of teachers, high school students and parents who brought their children. <snip>
