Crews clean building after four-day student protest

SANTA CRUZ, CA — Crews spent the earlier part of this week cleaning Kerr Hall at the University of California at Santa Cruz after a four-day student occupation of the building, according to KION-TV.

Numerous demonstrators occupied the building for days to protest a 32 percent increase in University of California fees, an increase that was approved to help California's higher education system recoup losses from the recent budget crisis, the story stated.

The cost of the damage and subsequent cleanup remains unknown and it is unlikely that charges will be brought against any of the students involved in the occupation, the story noted.

At least four truckloads of trash and other refuse have been removed from the building, the story added.
