Some pix of today's U-Minnesota protest

Here are a couple of photos that fellow MPR reporter Tim Post snapped of the "Chop from the Top" rally this afternoon at the University of Minnesota's Northrop Plaza.

Post estimated that he saw about 75 students and faculty protesting the effects of recent budget cuts.

(By "Chop from the Top," I figure they mean the U should cut the salaries or positions of administrators. Phyllis Walker, president of a union of state employees, said more than  250 administrators at the U earn more than $200,000 per year. )
