MORE: UC Berkeley faculty to host anti-Trump ‘teach in’Ī notice of eviction is seen being put on the building by students claiming “You are hereby notified by the students of the University of California, Berkeley to vacate the premises immediately. In video of the protest, the so-called anti-racism protesters were seen denying passage across the bridge to white students - shouting “go around” - while happily allowing students of color to pass through.Īfter blocking the bridge, the protesting students moved towards the front of campus to occupy the front of the student store, because they felt it interfered with their “safe spaces”. Minority students were permitted through.īy and large, students avoided the protesters by taking alternate routes, notably by crossing over the nearby Strawberry Creek. What the Daily Californian doesn’t note is that activists refused passage to white students through the Sather Gate area during the demonstration. “Nobody even knows that MLK has a fourth floor.” “It’s not just the size of the space, it’s also the location,” Lemus said. The Daily Californian reports that the issue is one of “visibility.” This was the groups’ third protest-demand to be moved from the Eshleman Hall basement. Over 100 protesters from the UC-Berkeley Queer Alliance Resource Center (QARC) and bridges Multicultural Resource Center blocked student access to Sather Gate last Friday afternoon during their demonstration to “be relocated to different club space on campus.” Contrast this with students who threaten to shut down the senate, student store, and plaza until their student groups get assigned the most prime locations on campus.The College Fix on Facebook The College Fix on Twitter The College Fix on Reddit The College Fix on Parler Share on Email There are so many stories of fierce determination. Other students live in their cars, or campus buildings, due to heightened tuition.
BERKELEY QARC TV
I saw a highly compelling tv segment recently about the number of students skipping meals or relying on the Cal food bank because they couldn't afford to eat, for instance. There are many worthy causes amongst the Cal student population. In this case, they are protesting because the spaces they have been offered on campus do not match a set of rigorous criteria that most Cal student organizations couldn't even dream of having. In the historical case, students demonstrated for their first amendment rights of assembly and speech. Today, Sproul Plaza is overrun with brochures, student groups, and other groups representing every interest under the sun. Talking about civil rights or passing out brochures about civil rights could get you arrested.
BERKELEY QARC FREE
Fifty years ago, students protested because free speech was being obstructed in a way totally foreign to today's Berkeley students.
