Free University Week-Can it be true?

I was searching through the Occupy Wall Streets official website, and a large title enlarged on a neon green notebook caught my eye;  "Free University Week". The Occupy Movement hosted the event this past week from September 18th through to September 21st. The goal and point of this message is to create education that is both accessible and democratic for all. Even though the event took place in New York, I think it advocates an important issue that is occurring all around the world, and especially North America.  Just recently, Quebec won a victory to avoid a 75% increase in tuition costs, and that is only one school upon many others that have not won any victories and are suffering through the increases. This is a great way to advocate the many thoughts and opinions that thousands upon thousands of students spend their daily energy worrying over. It brings together people from around the world to advocate for education as a human right and demonstrate the ability to implement free education rather than the extreme opposite, a yearly increase. It must be that somehow the government thinks that this increase is realistic for all students to afford, or even worse, is well aware that it limits many students from education but dismisses the thought anyway. 

This event is a great start to inspiring many more cities and countries to also spread the message that this is no longer going to be tolerated and something needs to be done before the drop out rate of colleges and universities shoot out the roof. This is not leading us into a functional economic system, but rather is eliminating those who can afford education which is further going to eliminate those with job credentials in the work field's. The Free University week constitutes as a great way to hopefully get other schools more intuitive on starting their own events and enhancing the clarity of the message that needs to be spread.
