Violence at the Regent’s Meeting
from RebelRadio:
The UC Regents’ Meeting @ UC Riverside began early today. Most mainstream media were inside the HUBbuilding in which the Regents gathered. While we waited outside, reports from inside were telling that the public comment session was often interrupted by the Regents in their failed attempts to appease the student protesters who only had 1 minute each to express themselves. One comment was that regent Sherry Lansing tried to address the students by the usual means of misdirecting the students efforts towards the capital. The reports were that her comment was “useless and boring”. After the public comment session was done with, the students offered their own meeting via mic check. But the Regents did nothing but hide in another room with very few people allowed in from the public. Police remained inside but did not move to arrest anybody. At around 1 p.m. everybody was running from the front doors of the HUB to the back doors through which the Regents were supposed to make their quick escape. Students took over a staircase and then another as police in riot gear
Cal Anthro Library Study-in
BERKELEY, California – Over a hundred students took part in a study-in on Thursday at the Anthropology library at UC Berkeley in protest of more cuts to library hours. Protesters are keeping the library open past the 5pm closing time and have even erected a tent inside the library in the fashion of Occupy Wall Street. This same library was a catalyst in a series of occupations at UC Berkeley in the Fall of 2009. Watch live.
