Chancellor Katehi's decision to use force against the UC Davis students in such a manner is outrageous. As an alum of UCD I am shocked to see UCD not allowing its students freedom of speech, including setting up tents on campus. I have participated in protests on campus in 1995, where we camped at Mrak Hall for weeks and the then Chancellor Vanderhoef did not resort to mace to remove protestors. If fact we joked with police. We were able to camp and gather signatures for petitions. Chancellor Katehi needs to learn of the history of protest on campus and allow students to express their freedom of speech.
We should not encourage the further erosion of the family by taking away holiday time from some of the most vulnerable workers in society. In addition, I do not want to see retailers encouraging shopping over family time on this American holiday.
