UC Santa Cruz Students Occupy Student Services Building

Posted: Updated:

SANTA CRUZ, Calif- Student protesters moved their protest against the University of California inside the Hahn Student Services Building Monday afternoon. Around 2 pm @cityonahill, the campus newspaper, tweeted that 75 to 80 protesters marched on the Hahn building.

Earlier in the morning demonstrators blocked off all entrances to the Hahn Student Services Building, responding to a call from the Occupy University of California Davis group for a strike across the 10-campus system.

"This action is to call attention to the fact that money is going to militarizing our campuses rather than student services and education," said graduate student Erin Ellison.

Ellison and others said they have three main demands: the resignation of UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi, ridding campuses of university police and the rollback of exorbitant fees.
