Zombies Protest UCI Budget Cuts

​"Being president of the University of California is like being manager of a cemetery: there are many people under you, but no one is listening" -- Mark Yudof, UC President, to the New York Times Magazine.

Clever quote, but perhaps not so amusing for the people compared to corpses--you know, every teacher, student and administrator at a University of California.

(Aside: If you take the time to read the NYT interview, you understand why Yudof isn't popular. He sounds like an irrepressible asshole.)

And so, students at UCI dressed the part and protested yesterday. The blog for the school's literary journalism program has arty, creepy photos of the event here and here.

Got you in the mood for more costumed political activism? We have an event for you right here.
