Fee Increase Protest Prompts UCLA Students to Take Over Building

During a UC Regents meeting, students reportedly "stormed" and "took over" a building at UCLA on Wednesday. SF Chronicle reports that the "[s]tudents, furious at the increase that will bring their yearly fees above $10,000 for the first time, rushed the UCLA building where the regents were meeting, throwing food, sticks and vinegar-soaked red bandannas meant to look like blood."

A total of 12 students, the Daily Cal reports, were arrested.

As for today, a few students and faculty are still protesting outside the UC Office of the President.

Yesterday, if you recall, UC students put down their no. 2 pencils and books (students still use those, right?) and took to the streets to protest UC-wide fee increases.
