CSU Students Demand a Budget

On Saturday, January 9, 2016 more than one hundred CSU students, staff and faculty independently gathered to protest and demand that a budget be passed to save the University.

The protest was pioneered by several student leaders, including SGA President, Paris Griffin that wanted their message to be heard and supported by the community.  "We all knew we had to get our message out somehow, so we thought the best way would be to just bring it out through our own community here on the South Side of Chicago," said Griffin, who majors in public relations.
