Mass protests planned for education on March 8th - Erin Vogel, Chicago Flame

Hundreds of professors from the University of Illinois have planned a common furlough day for March 8th in the hopes of educating the public about their problems. They have created a website, uicjointfurlough.wordpress.com, to raise awareness of their cause. They also have a Twitter, a Facebook, and a letter that students can send to their state representatives to request support for UIC.
