SAVE UDC! NO TUITION HIKES! DEFEND OPEN ADMISSIONS!

WHAT: Rally to save UDC, Washington DC's only public university, from a proposed 100% tuition hike and the end of open enrollment.

WHEN: 6pm, Tuesday February 10th

WHERE: UDC, 4200 Connecticut Avenue, NW

Inspired by the students of Gallaudet University, students at UDC will be holding a "sleep out" from Tuesday, Feb 10th at 10 AM to 7 pm on Wednesday, Feb 11th.

The 6pm rally is meant to provide community members and alumni to show their solidarity and support.

A 100% tuition hike will make the cost of UDC prohibitive to thousands of low income students. Education is a right not a privilege and it's time to stand up!
