Mario Savio Career

Between 1965 and his death, Savio held a variety of jobs, including as a sales clerk in Berkeley and instructor at Sonoma State University. In 1965, he married Suzanne Goldberg, whom he had met in the Free Speech Movement. Two months after their wedding, they moved to England because Savio was awarded a scholarship to the University of Oxford. While there, they had their first child, Stefan. Savio did not complete his degree at Oxford, and they moved back to California in February 1966. In 1968, he ran for state senator from Alameda County on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket, but lost to Nicholas C. Petris, a liberal Democrat. Savio and Goldberg divorced in 1972.

In 1980, he married a second time, to Lynne Hollander, an old acquaintance from the Free Speech Movement. He returned to study at San Francisco State University soon after. In 1984, he received a summa cum laude bachelor's degree in physics and earned a master's degree in 1989. He was a brilliant student and his professor, Oliver Johns, named a theorem after him. In 1990, Savio and Hollander moved with their ten-year-old son to Sonoma County, California, where Savio taught mathematics, philosophy and logic at Sonoma State University. Savio was largely a quiet presence on campus until students rallied with him to protest a rise in student fees. This was Savio's last campus battle.

Savio had a history of heart problems and the day following a bitter and extended public debate with the President of Sonoma State University's then-president, Ruben ArmiƱana, Savio had a heart attack. He was admitted to Columbia-Palm Drive Hospital in Sebastopol, California, on November 2, 1996. He slipped into a coma on November 5 and died the following day, shortly after being removed from life support.
