	Activist Impulses: Campus Radicalism in the 1930s (Cohen)
		Student organizing was one of the American Left's most successful areas of political activity during the Great Depression.
		This campaign helped spread the organizational presence of student radicalism across the country, and—according to college straw polls—won Thomas the endorsement of eighteen percent of the student body, a far higher level of support than he was able to obtain from the general electorate.
		The student strike mushroomed into an annual mass protest, as the NSL and SLID extended their Popular Front style of anti-war organizing beyond the Left to religious and liberal groups.

		It describes the nationwide student strike of college and high school students who boycotted classes to protest President Nixon's expansion of U.S. military activity into Cambodia and the killing of four students at Kent State University.
		Dozens of the schools on strike have been shut down for the rest of the academic term, although students are demanding that the campuses remain open for students to hold teach-ins and to do community organizing and strike spreading work.
		Strike leaders on most campuses have asked that the strike not be aimed at the campuses per se but against the government oppressors.

	2002 - Alberta's Student Strike
		What sparked the strike was the teachers' reaction to the bill, withdrawal of their voluntary services.

		Hinkley told the students that although the teachers appreciate their support on the negotiations and on Bill 12, the student strike was not well organized, it didn't have enough advance publicity and shouldn't be done unless the students had lots of discussion and debate ahead of time - letter writing or telephoning to MLAs.

	Berkeley Graduate Student Strike, Fall 1998 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Thus graduate students look at the teaching that they do, look at the teaching that professors do, calculate that it would cost perhaps four times more for the university to hire enough extra professors to do the teaching that graduate students do.
		The discussion is poisoned because many graduate students believe that the professors and the deans could have--but didn't--make sure that entering students had a realistic picture of the quality of graduate student life and job prospects for new Ph.D.s.
		From the standpoint of the regents' political patrons, the benefits of a strike and uproar to run against clearly outweigh the political losses from having been perceived to knuckle under to student--even graduate student--demands.

		In Los Angeles, an administrative law judge ruled that graduate student employees are covered by the act, specifically including teaching assistants, In December the full PERB board upheld the decision, and scheduled a representation election for March 9-11..

	Mexico UNAM Strike: Mobilize Worker-Student Defense
		The GI organized a bus load of students from the UNAM to go to the campus at Xochimilco; the bus drivers union SUTAUR-100, whose 17,000 members were fired by Zedillo in a brutal union-busting attack in 1995, dispatched a bus to transport them.

	The Badger Herald - Student strike or activism lite? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A student who misses class to participate in the strike should fail that day’s assignment, whatever it may be.
		One reason why strikes and other forms of political protest are frequently effective is that observers recognize that participants have voluntarily chosen to take actions that may carry adverse individual consequences.
		Thus, students who claim to be passionate about the strike’s cause but who are not willing to make a personal sacrifice in the form of a lowered class grade undermine the very message that the strike is designed to convey.

		Below is the University’s perspective on the graduate student strike and an explanation of the year-end grading process.
		The University announced when the strike by graduate teaching assistants began in mid-April that it was committed to ensuring that all students would receive credit for their academic work this term and that all graduating students would receive grades in time for Commencement.
		However, we have asked faculty who are grading students other than their own to be aware that some answers may reflect approaches to the material that are different than the ones taken in their own classes, because every section of the core is taught differently.

	Quebec: Student strikes exemplify mounting social discontent (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Eighty thousand university and junior and vocational college (CEGEP) students are on strike in the province of Quebec and the movement is expected to swell in the next few days.
		To retain control over the spreading strike movement, the leaders of the major union federations had to threaten to organize a one-day general strike, then used the Christmas holidays and passage of the Liberal measures to smother any further worker action.
		The student strikes and the crisis of the Charest government underscore that in Quebec as elsewhere in Canada, the big business offensive against the working class has rested on a very narrow social base.

		Further, the students were selected for such tasks not because of their lack of merit (their inability to compete successfully for better assignments), but because their schedules were the most convenient to change at the last minute.
		Students in our department teach only 2 of their 5 years, although in some other departments, 3 years of teaching is standard.
		Students (if they are fortunate enough to get a TA position) are dropped into teaching their second year, teaching 4-5 sections of 20-25 students per semester.
