On Monday, October 15, around 75 students from Iowa State, Grinnell, and Des Moines Area Community College held a demonstration and blocked traffic in front of the future site for a building to be called the Student Innovation Center off of Bissell Road. The demonstration was part of a nationwide day of action led by student groups: Student Action and Young Democratic Socialists of America. Javier Miranda, with a local chapter of Student Action, explains the issues about which students were demonstrating, including tuition hikes and privatization of the state public university system.
