Students Demonstrate against budget cuts proposed by Governor Gray Davis cutting community college funding. Community College Students of the Southern California area joined in a demonstration in downtown Los Angeles. Colleges included Los Angeles Trade Technical College, Pierce, Southwest, Compton, Los Angeles City, Mission, and Valley College. Thousand of students marched through downtown Los Angeles passing by The Ronald Regan Federal Building chanting "Keep the doors Open" and "What do we want? Education!! , When do we want it? Now!” Some colleges have been forced to cut more than a hundred courses due to cuts.
