Kerr Hall at UC Santa Cruz remains occupied by protesters - Santa Cruz Sentinel:
"SANTA CRUZ -- Hundreds of students, staff and faculty crowded Clark Kerr Hall, home of the UC Santa Cruz administration, for a third day of protests Friday to rally against fee hikes and budget cuts made by the UC Board of Regents this week.
The campus has closed Kerr Hall due to safety concerns and students also are occupying Kresge Town Hall. Several hundred students and faculty rallied for an hour outside Kerr Hall beginning at noon Friday. Protesters hung a large banner that read 'Raise hell not costs.' Below the banner several speakers addressed the crowd.
'We believe that public higher education is for the public good,' said anthropology professor Shelly Errington, president of the Santa Cruz Faculty Association. 'Like a strong infrastructure and safe food and water, public education makes the quality of life worth living.'"
