The students at Sonoma State University, cursed with an incompetent and corrupt Administration and CSU system, have found the ultimate answer to the problem.
"Over the course of a few hours, on a Friday when the university was officially closed due to state budget cuts, the students spread across a lush lawn, pulled out books and laptops, and dived into studying.

Rather than yelling or shouting, I feel its more productive to show up on one of the days that our school has taken away from us, said Devin McBrayer, an 18-year-old Sonoma State University freshman who organized the event and titled it Class in the Grass.
We want to show that we want to be taken seriously and that we take our education seriously, she said."
They will study! What a great response to the problems caused by government educators--go beyond the system and get an education.
