Students gathered in the EMU Amphitheater Wednesday afternoon to rally and protest rising education costs. After student and teacher testimonials were given, the students and faculty marched throughout campus with a megaphone. Their concerns reverberated throughout the campus grounds, saying: “This is the place where capitalism has made its stand…and education has been destroyed.”
