Protesters interrupt UC Board of Regents meeting

Protesters holding signs and dressed in orange jumpsuits briefly interrupted the UC Board of Regents meeting in Sacramento Wednesday morning.

About 20 UC students, employees, teaching assistants and tutors broke into a chant and circled the audience, forcing the regents to take a recess and enter closed session. Several UCLA students were among them.

Students chanted, “That’s the sound of the students-working on the chain gang” and held up signs with messages such as “Long live the Guillotine.”

The regents had been discussing the draft of the Robinson-Edley report on UC protest policies before the chanting broke out.
