It was an astounding success with at least 200 faculty showing up from 7:30-10am. Faculty held signs reading "We Teach the 99%," demonstrating their outrage at the Chancellor's lavish giveaways to CSU executives, massive student fee hikes, privatization, and take-back bargaining proposals. Historical first for CSU LB to have that many faculty show up for something!! All colleges were represented. Daily Breeze was there. Did a live feed on Fox at 10:06. Go Beach!!
