About 80 students paraded through the rain at UC Berkeley Friday morning, chanting "No cuts, no fees, education should be free."
The protest was a response to the UC Regents' decision yesterday to increase student fees 8 percent next year. For 2011-12, the fees will not affect students whose families make less than $120,000 a year.
