Tuition Crisis

Tuition Crisis was an holographic program composed by a doctoral student in comparative history at Osric University on Ter'jas Mor in the Klingon Empire. It was used by the Klingon Defense Force to train anti-riot police, with varying degrees of protester rowdiness.

Mrazek obtained a copy of the student's thesis, and the holographic program with it. Urie, Brianna Reiss, Atenza, as well as a handful of other crewmembers, debated the tuition hike with the characters.

Plot
The holodeck program began at the physics department's student café of the University of Montreal, where several physics students receive students from other departments, when some of these students are ready to depart for the picket lines. Once these students return from the picket lines, they inform the program users that the physics department have to hold the picket line, with 300 brave physicists, on March 22nd, 2012, before reinforcements could arrive.
