    • With 200% increase in tuition for UC, CSU, and community college students since 2008, and now the looming $2.5 billion in additional cuts to education and public services, students, workers, and educators will be calling on leaders of California’s schools and universities to support refunding education by making the Wall Street and the super-rich pay for students, parents and communities.

User's Tip

Since we get new subscribers every day much of the email blast will be the same as the last one. BUT, you can view JUST THE DIFFERENCES if you want to, so you can read it faster.

1.      Go to the web version of the email blast.

2.      Scroll to the bottom. Click "More Topic Actions"

3.      Go to the sections "Compare Revisions"

4.      Compare the current topic ("3" in this one) to 1 (which is the prior day's)

5.      Click COMPARE.

Notes:

·         This does not show some changes, like images, so you should scan the original email too.

·         At the bottom of the original topic, you can view any older version (click the numbers) or comparisons ("<") by clicking on the list. (Doesn't work for our case of comparing one day to the next because there are usually several revisions before the final one, so you have to use the "Compare Revisions" function.
