As promised, thousands of Arizona students descended on their state capitol on Wednesday to protest a planned 40% cut to their state university system.

Bused in by the hundreds from each of the state’s public universities, the students eventually amassed a crowd estimated at as much as 2500. Media coverage was intense, including news pieces, editorials, and even a slide show.

Thanks to the Arizona Students’ Association for forwarding links and info on the protest, including this great piece on how the planning and logistics of the protest were handled.
