About 100 students with signs and homemade drums raised a ruckus at N.C. State University's Bell Tower this afternoon in a warm-up rally to oppose proposed budget cuts.
The crowd included high school students and college students from various UNC campuses as far away as Appalachian State University.
What is the economic value of protesting budget cuts? Wouldn't it be cool if the consumer surplus was just about equal to the present value of tuition increases?
