The University of California, Berkeley is investigating allegations of police brutality against students and employees protesting fee hikes and budget cuts last week.

In a letter Monday, Chancellor Robert Birgeneau says the campus police department is looking into whether officers used excessive force when they removed protesters during Friday's demonstration.

The university also will request an independent investigation by the campus police review board.

On Monday, more than 200 students and employees rallied at Wheeler Hall to protest what they called overly aggressive tactics.

Protest organizers say officers hit demonstrators with batons and fired rubber bullets, when more than 40 protesters barricaded themselves inside the building and hundreds rallied outside Friday.
