'Corporate Corruption Week'

With the furloughs, budget cuts, and economy in a bind, the 'Corporate Corruption Week' that took place last week on campus couldn't come at a better time.

The Daily 49er interviewed Michael Lozano, a senior sociology major who helped organize the event.

"We are organizing the week long event to show that we can resist the corporatism of everyday life, which has affected our democracy, environment, standards of living and individual minds," Lozano said.

Wayne Taylor, co-director of Reclaiming Democracy of Orange County at Charles Drew University of Medicine and Science had a powerful message to say: "We need a student movement now."

A major theme at the event was to recognize that students have power and corporate leaders need to take responsibility for their mistakes.
