Responses to the Occupy Movements

Response #4 to “A Tale of Two Campuses: Berkeley and Davis respond to Occupy movements”

            When I read this article, I was surprised that UC Berkeley and UC Davis responded to the Occupy movements in completely different ways. UC Davis did not do a good job of handling the issue that the students protested about, which was the tuition increases. Instead of finding ways to resolve the problem like UC Berkeley did, UC Davis just ignores the problem and instead complains about the costs of clean up. The way in which the UC Davis administrators responded to strike left the students unsatisfied, and the situation was no better than before. It is ludicrous that the administrators just pushed the problem aside as if they didn’t want to deal with it.

Question: Since the UC Davis administrators react to the UC Davis Occupy Movement poorly, do you think that future Davis strikes will be ineffective? Why or why not?
