>> ^cito:

A pretty remarkable thing just happened. A press conference, scheduled for 4:00pm between the UC Davis Chancellor and police with local press on campus, did not end in an hour, as planned. Instead, a mass of Occupy Davis students and sympathizers mobilized outside, demanding to have their voice heard. After some initial confusion, UC Chancellor Linda Katehi refused to leave the building, attempting to give the media the impression that the students were somehow holding her hostage.
A group of highly organized students formed a large gap for the chancellor to leave. They chanted “we are peaceful” and “just walk home,” but nothing changed for several hours. Eventually student representatives convinced the chancellor to leave after telling their fellow students to sit down and lock arms (around 7:00pm).
ME: Chancellor, do you still feel threatened by the students?
KATEHI: No. No.

---
Among all the problems the students have their main objection is the raising of the price of tuition in today's economy


Wait...this JUST happened...today!?

I am at a loss as to what this is about.
I should not have to go out and search for back story, at least I personally don't believe so.


I agree, all stories should be bundled in a 30 second package of lights and mayhem for me to consume and become fearful of.

Thanks for the quality!

In reply to this comment by Boise_Lib:
Sean Carroll a senior research associate in the Department of Physics at the California Institute of Technology has a blog on the Discover Magazine website--Cosmic Variance--this is his take on this.
Brutality

Includes links to petitions and open letters for the resignation of Chancellor Katehi. As well as eyewitness accounts.
Did you know that chancellors make almost $500,000 a year--and are calling for increased tuition on the students they are there to educate?

How is he an idiot? A Veteran standing up and turning around silently protesting someone who's speaking, is an idiot? By what warped logic did you arrive at that conclusion?
