Early this morning, 65 protesters occupying UCB's Wheeler Hall were arrested. Joined by officers from other UC campuses, UC Berkeley police started arresting protesters at around 4:40 a.m., reports SF Chron.
"There was no force, no confrontation, nobody resisted," campus spokesman Dan Moguloftold SF Chron. "At most, it was a wake-up call: They were sleeping."
The demonstrators, it seemed, planned on leaving tonight; however, authorities "decided to move in early today because of a widely publicized hip-hop party in support of the demonstrators that was to have started in Wheeler at 8 p.m.," (A hip hop party? How pretentious.)
This morning's arrest come on the heels of a slew of SFSU protesters who were arrested at the state campus' Business building. They too were angry about (unfair?) budget cuts and fee hikes. (Welcome to the real world, kids.)
