Yet ANOTHER Furlough...

On a Monday when school should be just like any other day, campus is closed to all students and faculty.
November 2 and yet another furlough leaves students at CSULB with much to say.
James Chan, 21, business major said, "It's not so much that we don't have class because it is nice to have a day off but its the fact that we are still paying for those days that classes are furloughed is what bothers me."
Tuition has increased since the last academic year and now almost a semester over how do students feel about the crisis?
"Honestly, I do not care anymore," said Hemma Khzmann. "I don't have to worry about tuition anymore since I graduate in the spring."
There are different reactions from students across campus depending on how much more time they have until graduation. Furloughs to some many not be a big issue and take advantage of the time off.
"Since the library is my usual place to study and it was closed I didn't study so I used the time off to visit family during the long weekend," stated Andrea Carson.
The local KCAL television station reported live on Monday to speak more about the furlough.
