ABOUT Speak Out!

The CSU is a leader in providing both affordable and quality higher education, but this is quickly changing with deep and short-sighted budget cuts. Public education in California is in a crisis. Due to drastic cuts, tens of thousands of students will be denied admission to the CSU; enrolled students cannot get their classes; hundreds of dedicated teachers have lost their jobs; and so many classes have been cancelled that the dream of graduating in 4 years has been lost.

This documentary features in-depth commentary from concerned CSU students, teachers and staff. The film analyzes the history of the budget cuts, spending priorities of California spending, and what California should be doing to save the CSU.

Use this film as an organizing tool and Speak Out! for quality public education.
