Dozens Occupying UC Berkeley Building Arrested

More Local News
BERKELEY (AP) ― Officials say dozens of people occupying a campus building at the University of California, Berkeley in a protest over fee hikes and budget cuts have been arrested.

UC Berkeley spokesman Dan Mogulof told KGO-TV late Friday afternoon more than 40 people, at least some of them students, had been arrested and the protest appeared to be coming to a "safe end."

Demonstrators had occupied Wheeler Hall on Friday morning to protest a 32 percent increase in student fees and job and program cuts.

Campus police had said earlier in the day the demonstrators were barricaded behind fire doors on the second floor.

A group of students also rallied outside the building.

The occupiers were demanding laid-off custodial workers be rehired and amnesty for anyone arrested in the protest.
