U to the Rescue! Cali Link Feast

Michael Merzanze's Links for May 29, 2012 from Remaking the University (high on our highly recommended blogs list): Quebec to California (rather a ring, doncha' think?). A recent reader comment on our wall reminded me to pay more attention to California. Chris Newfield's and  Michael Meranze's excellent, thoughtful, informative, well researched and written higher ed blog is a good place to start. Add Chris' Blog Archive (overflow site, not really "too dumb to live" at all) to the list. Although CA higher ed is a primary focus, coverage and articles in both go far beyond state lines. Perhaps, a CA reading list next. Got suggestions?

• Student Protests in Quebec continue.  Talks have begun..
• In response to protests, Quebec government tries to strike down freedom of assembly.  Protesters respond with new forms of dissent.
• Solidarity for Quebec students spreads to the US.   For information on Berkeley actions see Reclaim UC
•  Teachers and Students strike in Spain to protest austerity cuts to education.
• "The Public Refusal of Privatization"
• CSU administrators pushing online education.
• At the CCs and CSUs summer classes are disappearing due to budget cuts.
• Charles Reed follows Jack Scott into retirement.  President Yudof?

PS I still have my own ramblings with day old links in drafts...
