University Students in Nevada Plan Walkout to Protest Budget Cuts - Jeff Greer, US News

Like pretty much every other state, Nevada is facing major budget problems. The Silver State is staring at an $881 million budget hole, and higher education looks like it's going to take a huge hit. The Nevada Sagebrush reports that the state may cut entire colleges from its system. At the very least, jobs cuts and the elimination of majors at schools are expected to be ordered during a special legislative session that begins February 23. That's why students at the University of Nevada–Las Vegas are planning walkouts today to protest anticipated cuts. Students then plan a rally outside a government office in Las Vegas.
