Liberal Arts and Milneburg Hall

Both the Liberal Arts building and Milneburg Hall are now being forced to close at 6pm every day. That means that faculty and staff have to be out and can't get their work done in their offices that they need to do. It means that if a student wants to meet after 6pm with a teacher for office hours, they can't.
They also fired all the night janitors, which is why the building is dirtier.

These budget cuts are effecting all of us: workers, instructors, and students. We need to organize together to stop them.

Perhaps a sit-in or study-in at these buildings to keep them open late than 6pm is in order?
That is how they responded when the administration cut library hours in CA, and it was very successful.
