UCLA Students Looking to Fire Gustavo Arellano

UCLA students have started a Facebook page protesting Gustavo Arellano as the keynote speaker of the 2010 graduation ceremony. “We can do better, we are in Los Angeles for goodness sakes. Why can’t we get someone more famous??” the Facebook page description reads. Commenters put it more plainly: “Who is this guy?”
