UCI "activists" protest. Their "demands" snicker:

We call for the democratic education intended in the founding of the UC system. This means an end to the racist, gendered, hetero-normative, and exploitative practices currently in place. To these ends, we have expropriated Aldrich Hall.

Hey, its Berkeley, 1968!

) We demand that UCI administration implement a comprehensive financial aid system by fall 2010 that apportions grant aid (excluding loans from the equation) and on-campus housing based on family wealth rather than income.

No surprise these losers think of people in terms of families, clans, tribes, races.

We demand that UCI immediately equip the campus with gender neutral bathrooms.

Just for humor value?

We demand 100% funding from administration for a recruitment and retention center for underrepresented students. Recruiting and retaining students of color and low-income students should be a campus priority, but UCI has neglected to support these important efforts.

We demand that UCI administration immediately reinvest in the ethnic, queer, and women’s studies departments/programs

Get a major and a job, kiddies

and the final punchline:

We demand that UCI not feed the prison-industrial complex. We demand that UCI end its contract with Motorola by fall 2010. Furthermore, we demand the removal of all Dell, IBM, and Texas Instrument products by fall 2010 as well.
