The Chronicle: In a Day of Campus Protests, California Marchers Take to the Freeways
Students and faculty members in California staged dozens of protests on Thursday, marching in major cities and attempting to blockade freeways in the broadest demonstration yet of anger against state budget cuts to the nation’s largest public-university system.
Groups of more than 1,000 people marched in and around the University of California campuses in Berkeley, Los Angeles, Davis, and Riverside. A larger group descended on the Capitol, in Sacramento, where university faculty members called on lawmakers to find a way to restore funds for higher education.
