Students are not ATMs'; college students protest budget cuts - Laura Diamond, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Several hundred students from nearly all of Georgia's 35 public colleges united for a rally Monday to protest proposed budget cuts. At one point, the University System of Georgia was facing up to $600 million in cuts for the 2011 fiscal year. While the actual cut will be less -- some officials say $350 million to $400 million -- students said that still puts their education in jeopardy.
