26 Students Arrested in Protest Over Tuition
Increases

SAN FRANCISCO — Twenty-six students were arrested at San Francisco State University before dawn on
Thursday after some students barricaded themselves inside a building to protest budget cuts and tuition increases
across the state’s public university system.
“The doors were locked with chains from the inside so police broke through a window to get in,” a university
spokeswoman, Ellen Grif?n, said. “We’re approaching ?nal exams and the end of the semester, and as many as
3,200 students have classes in that building.”
On Wednesday, classes in the building were canceled after the occupation began.
Along with indignation over budget cuts, a blog listing the protesters’ demands included forgiveness of all student
loans and ending the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. With demands far beyond the purview of school administrators,
negotiations with the students was nearly impossible, Ms. Grif?n said.
