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.

The gathering of about 150 professors, instructors and students was billed as a "memorial service" to lament cuts in state funding that the protestors called devastating to the campus. They picked a location sure to attract attention: across the street from a celebration event for LSU's 150th anniversary.

"We suffered from some cuts last year, but this year's cuts are really going to decimate the curriculum," said Helen A. Regis, an associate professor in the Department of Geography and Anthropology.

The campus' annual budget was cut by nearly $13 million this month, as agencies across state government lost money in budget reductions ordered by Gov. Bobby Jindal to close a midyear deficit. That comes on top of a reduction in state funding earlier this year.
