Burlington Free Press: Students protest again
Demonstrator arraigned for trespassing

Students upset with budget cuts at the University of Vermont tried — with mixed success — to get faculty and staff workers to back them at a noontime rally Thursday, one day after a sit-in at the Waterman administrative building resulted in 31arrests.

“We demand President (Daniel) Fogel’s resignation,” Cecile Reurge, a 19-year-old freshman from Stony Brook, N.Y., said to the cheers of about 100 people gathered in front of Bailey-Howe Library. “We have no confidence in his leadership anymore.”
