Student-Worker Strike Repercussions - Part 17 (still more on UC-SD)

We noted last week that some students at UC-San Diego disrupted an alumni ceremony by protesting against alleged failures of the university to follow the contract that resulted from the student-worker strike. Some protesters were charged with misconduct.

Apparently, late last week, some were jailed. From KPBS:

Three UC San Diego student workers are facing felony charges, accused by university officials of conspiracy and vandalism. They were arrested Thursday at their homes and held in custody for over 12 hours... In a written statement, university officials said:

"UC San Diego Police have arrested three individuals in the felony vandalism of the Marine Conservation and Technology Facility on May 30. Graffiti was discovered that resulted in cleanup and restoration in excess of $12,000. In addition, official campus events had to be moved to other locations at the last minute. Two of the individuals charged are UC San Diego students. Police are checking on the other person’s status. UC San Diego does not tolerate vandalism or other damage to university property."

The UAW advised the arrested workers in posting bail. The union denies the university's charges and will support each worker when they are arraigned on July 10...
