The eight arrested on suspicion of rioting, vandalism and attempted arson include two Berkeley students, Mogulof said Saturday.
The protest at the chancellors home came late the same day that police arrested 65 protesters inside a campus classroom building that was partially taken over for several days.
The protesters are demonstrating against state funding cuts that have led to course cutbacks, faculty furloughs and sharp fee increases.
