"Warm-up Day of United Action"
What happened?

Nov. 3, 2009.  At San Diego State University, approximately between 500-600 students walked out to protest millions in recent budget cuts and mandated faculty furlough days.  Several hundred people were students, faculty, and staff from the Art, Design, and Art History Department, whose department experienced a 19.5 % budget cut this fall.  Future budget cuts are expected and have the potential to drastically change or eliminate programs.  Several media representatives were there to record the event.
