SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS/AP) – University of California students are protesting at four campuses where board members met by teleconference after worries about violence led to the cancellation of a previous meeting.
Board members, university administrators and the public were attending Monday’s meeting at locations on the San Francisco-Mission Bay, Los Angeles, Davis, and Merced campuses.
During the public comment period, students spoke out against recent police crackdowns on Occupy camps on the Davis and Berkeley campuses.

“The leftists are about to kick the leftists in the teeth. Sweet!”
True believers are always the first to go.
I thought Leftists loved Big Academia, Big Government, Big Business, Big Religion, and other supersized instutions.
As long as the federal govt keeps churning out those student loans, universities will gouge the customer (students) for every nickel and dime they have, and will effectively GUT any hope of ever owning their own home.
Lets make a deal: we’ll do a one time payoff of student loans. All of em. Then get RID of the Dept of Education and Federal student loans...deal?
Not holding breath.
Think of UC as a country.... they are simply raising taxes and their liberal denizens should be happy to “pay their fair share”..right?
American university students are the new sharecroppers in this country.
“Why, massah university professor, if’n I borrow money today to pay your bloated salary, don’t that mean I’m actually paying your wages over the next 20 years when I’m makin my payments?”
“I’ll give you an F, boy! Borrow the money!”
“Yes suh massah university professor ! Jes don’t beat me no more!”
That's the ticket, instead of protesting the increased tuition, students should be protesting the "greedy" professors who make the big salaries that cause the increase in tuition.
I have seen school teachers march their students out of the classroom and into the streets to protest cuts in school funding.
Maybe its time for the students to turn a jaundiced eye on their teachers.
Absolutely right. These indignant students should be getting in their professors’ faces in class (yeah, right -— like they would ever actually SEE a professor in class!)
