$0 Tuition – Reimagining the University of California
Panel discussion and open forum on the UC Budget Cuts

7-9pm, Monday Nov 2nd
Visual Arts Facility, Performance Space

Featuring:
Denise Ferreira da Silva, Ethic Studies
Fred Lonidier, Visual Arts
and more TBA

The current University of California budget crisis provides an important opportunity for critical analysis and creative rethinking of our educational systems. How has an institution founded on the idea of $0 tuition and public access to education for all become a privatized source of profit for corporations and bureaucrats alike? Is the university still a possible place of transformation and liberation? Or is the university a dead space that must be left behind? From the university occupations around the world to the powerful coalition between UC students, staff and faculty that began with a walkout and continues to grow in force, the university is once again emerging as a site of struggle, revealing the cracks in the rhetoric of “economic crisis”. Join us for a discussion on these issues and more.

The event will include the new release of Temporary Services new publication on the national economic crisis.

Moderated by Micha Cárdenas

Organized by Elle Mehrmand, Micha Cárdenas and Ricardo Dominguez of the b.a.n.g. lab.
