Who: UCSB Students, Faculty, and Staff
What: One-Day Fast for Education
When: Dec. 2, 2009 (9AM) to Dec. 3, 2009 (ends at noon)
Where: UCSB Cheadle Hall
Why: To raise campus awareness and voice opposition to UC budget cuts; fee increases; job layoffs; furloughs; curtailments; program cut-backs and planned elimination of Exercise and Sports Studies; closure of UCSB Ventura Center; overcrowded classes; general decline of UC system
How: “Fasters” will either be foregoing food, class, or work—or all three. This will be a one-day mostly water-only fast. Guest speakers and performers are scheduled for 12-2 PM on Dec. 2 and 11 to noon on Dec. 3
