AAUP members spoke and showed up to support a student-organized rally, 3/9/10, regarding the budget cuts. The rally was covered by The Statesboro Herald, "Budget Cuts 'Unjust'" by Jake Hallman:
"People aren't happy at Georgia Southern University. From administration to students, nobody wants state budget cuts at GSU — but how can they be avoided?
Students, faculty and staff tackled that question and vented their frustrations at a rally Tuesday morning at Sweetheart Circle to protest the possible cuts.
Calling the cuts “unjust,” senior philosophy major Andres Montes, one of the rally's organizers, said the protest was a historic moment of unity for the university community.
“Our education, our future is in jeopardy,” he said to the crowd. He questioned specific programs the state is spending money on, and suggested that Georgia would be better off investing in education programs than new buildings.
“They're trying to take away our education,” he said."
