  • UCSD students have occupied CLICS, which was one of the many libraries closed down due to budget cuts this year at UCSD, so that students now have a 24/7 study space for finals week.
  • USD Professor and Occupier Abe Stoll sends this in: Today the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of San Diego passed this resolution: Whereas growing inequality in the United States rooted in a corrupted political process is corroding our democracy and tarnishing the American Dream; Whereas cutbacks in traditional government services, the dismantling of social safety nets and of programs intended to promote fairness and opportunity, and to benefit those who are least well off, are contrary to Catholic Social Teaching; Whereas Occupy San Diego's peaceful demonstration to protest these inequities is an exercise of our First Amendment rights to free speech and assembly;Therefore be it resolved that faculty of the University of San Diego College of Arts and Sciences express their approval and support for Occupy San Diego.
