The documentary "Berkeley in the Sixties" is a must-watch for how student activism revulsed the rich white supremacists in this country, making them slash education funding.

A friend recommended I read "After the Ivory Tower Falls" for more on this. (It's on sale right now, too.) https://www.harpercollins.com/products/after-the-ivory-tower-falls-will-bunch?variant=40957097639970

Not only does UC Davis continue doing the "it's UC Davis, but it's not UC Davis" when it comes to student housing (nest of private-public "partnerships"),

not only did they install cycle racks we pointed out to them 4 years ago are inaccessible,

not only are the accessible EV chargers not under shade like the inaccessible ones, but

you pay market rate for NO HOT WATER

This is grad student housing at UC Davis.

Disabled folks at UC are constantly told the public university we pay for with our taxes, tuition, and fees finds accessibility "too expensive".

Yet when they raise >$7B dollars, where do they prioritize that going to? More goodies for abled people. #UCAccessNow #Ableism #NeoliberalHellhole @academicchatter @disability
