BY-NC-SA BERKELEY, CA—protesters gathered on Monday to protest against police overuse of power. Last week’s protests, where students took over Wheeler Hall, was due to a 32 percent tuition increase that will take place next semester. Three demonstrators are scheduled to appear in court in Oakland on felony burglary charges due to last week’s demonstration. A candlelight vigil is scheduled for Tuesday for the students.
Cal students aren’t the only ones facing charges. The 70 UC Santa Cruz students who took over the administrative building and locked themselves in for three days will face possible criminal or campus sanctions.
Damage to the building, particularly the second floor, involved trash and food left behind as well as electronic conference equipment ripped from tables, campus spokesman Jim Burns said Sunday. He estimated repairs and cleanup will cost "thousands of dollars." via Mercury News
