SANTA CRUZ -- UC Santa Cruz is charging 36 students $944 each in restitution for their involvement in November's occupation of the main campus administration building, officials confirmed Monday.
Of the 45 students investigated, 36 were found to have played some role in the protest over student fee hikes, an incident that caused nearly $34,000 in damage, spokesman Jim Burns said. The cost of the repairs was split evenly among the students.
Additionally, Judicial Affairs Officer Douglas Zuidema recommended in letters issued April 7 that seven of the students be dismissed, suspended or placed on probation, while 29 others received a disciplinary warning. Burns declined to say exactly how many students were dismissed, but said, "It's fair to say that in most cases where the discipline exceeded the warning, prior misconduct was a factor."
All students have the right to appeal, but if they don't, the fine must be paid by June 30 or it could hamper their ability to register for classes or graduate.
Occupy California, a Web site that tracks student demonstrations, said a legal defense has been started for students. Timothy Clark, 21, a fourth-year feminist studies major who was among those punished, said he believes the fine is unfair.
"The only evidence they have and I have admitted to was being in the occupied space," Clark said. "They don't have any evidence of anyone doing any thing in particular other than being in the space."
Burns said the university could not discuss individual cases due to privacy rules, but said the extent of the damage merited strong punishment. University officials say occupiers, some of whom were masked and covered security cameras, overturned a refrigerator to use as a barricade, damaged communications equipment and left pounds of garbage.

Don’t do the crime if you can’t pay the fine.
“Timothy Clark, 21, a fourth-year feminist studies major who was among those punished, said he believes the fine is unfair.”
Words fail me.
They need to make them pay the fine or boot them from the college.
Lord help us...
I think something about “great minds” would be appropriate here...
How about a “processing fee” on top of the actual damages for all the effort involved? I got popped for an out of date vehicle inspection stiker (about a week). There was a minuscule fine and a $60. fee on top of that!
Where do you start?
“Timothy Clark, 21, a fourth-year feminist studies major”
In other words, a flaming homosexual who dreams of a career as a professor.

“In other words, a flaming homosexual who dreams of a career as a professor.”
In other words, your typical left coast college student.
Reads "a guy who can't get laid any other way".
Define "accomplice," college boy.
Surrounding yourself with lesbians doesn't seem like a winning plan either.
“...Timothy Clark, 21, a fourth-year feminist studies major...”
There’s his problem, he’s doing it for the chicks but
look what kind he’s gonna end up with... Sad, grow
a pair dude.
"Would you like fries with that, sir?"
Either that or a very opportunistic heterosexual ... hmmm ....
