The unscheduled march started at the end of a two-hour rally on Sproul Plaza attended by an estimated 5,000 students, professors and other university employees.

Fifth-year senior Lajuanda Asemota headed to the picket line, her white T-shirt emblazoned with a block lettered "walkout."

"I'm just really trying to get the word out to younger students that it's your right to walk out," she said. "I feel it's important to walk out because in the U.S. you are supposed to have the freedom to get an education, but not everybody does."

Uh, wat?

Apparently she hasn't paid a lot of attention to the previous 4 years of her (not free) education....

I bet they want the government to provide it too, dirty socialists.

"Education should be free"

Even if it was, it wouldn't do people like our fifth year senior any good. They would still be retarded.

Make it free, but if your GPA drops below 3.5 you have to pay full tuition.

There is a small number of colleges and universities with bachelor programs that actually take 5 years to complete. Mostly because they require a full year of co-op (paid intership) to get your degree.

That could very well be true. I'm just saying, that in the case of the 5th year senior quoted in the story, I'm gonna go ahead and bet that that is not the case.

I agree.


Oh, and don't forget, a lot of BS/MS programs are 5 years too.
