the facebook protest event has close to 300 people registered as 'attending' after one day and the actual event doesn't happen for a week. i can only imagine the revolt that will happen if the U actually decides to go through with this. we've been a largely passive student body (with the exception of the student union), but this actually has people mad

the worst part is that these are the faculties that are already revenue-positive because of support from alumni/business. now the uni is squeezing their students for even more $$$.

I finish this year (business student), but what do you do if you just finished first/second year??
