As the U.S. is bombing Libya, continuing to occupy Iraq and Afghanistan, and funding Israel's occupation of Palestine, funding for education and social services are being cut dramatically. Already, in Massachusetts, the state budget for public higher education has been cut by 15% and the UMB board of trustees is already planning on increasing fees over the next few months. This is one among many examples of working people and students being made to pay for a crisipoliticiansns and bankers have created. Already, students and faculty have been organizing tchallengege increased fees and the ongoinprivatizationon of public higher education.
