As I mentioned last week, students at UC Davis and elsewhere have called for a national student general strike this coming Monday, November 28. (Monday is the day that the University of California Board of Regents will be holding their November meeting by teleconference, a meeting rescheduled from earlier in the month because of fears of student protests.)
As of now the Occupy Colleges website lists nearly three dozen campuses in fourteen states as confirmed participants in the strike, though their list is likely both overinclusive (because all you need to do to confirm your participation is fill out a web form) and underinclusive (because unless you fill out that web form you don’t get on the list).
I’ll be poking around as the weekend wears on looking for more info about students’ plans for Monday. If you have anything to share, please do.

Chancellor Birgeneau’s University of California Berkeley campus police applt batons to students protesting increases in tuition. Campus UCPD report to chancellors and take direction from their chancellor. University of California campus chancellors vet their campus police protocols. Chancellors are knowledgeable that pepper spray and use of batons are included in their campus police protocols.
Chancellor Birgeneau’s campus police use batons on his students. UC Berkeley Chancellor Birgeneau and UC Davis Chancellor are in dereliction of their duties.
UC Berkeley Chancellor Birgeneau and UC Davis Chancellor need to quit or be
fired for permitting the brutal outrages on students protesting tuition increases
and student debt
