early Monday morning, those taken into custody have been released after many of them were booked at the Central Jail in downtown San Diego.
Most did not want to talk to the media, with some protesters attempting to block our cameras with umbrellas and cardboard."We made it!" he said."That's my short statement... see ya!" "UC San Diego encourages and allows peaceful protests, but this encampment violated campus policy and the law, and grew to pose an unacceptable risk to the safety of the campus community," said UCSD Chancellor Pradeep K. Khosla.
"As faculty, we are calling on the Chancellor to release them, to not level any charges,"added UC San Diego Professor Gary Fields. "A university is for me to go to school, not for you to voice your opinion," Watkins added."You can voice your opinion on a college campus, but not when it is inhibiting me going to school."
Sixty-four individuals were arrested after refusing the dispersal requests. Of those, 40 were identified as students and are facing interim suspension for violation of the student code of conduct. Twenty-four are either unidentified at this time or are unaffiliated with the university. Two minor injuries were reported.
