DESCRIPTION:The Wheeler Occupation and the Battle to Save Higher Education: A Report 
 from the Inside\n\nPresentor: Kyla Collins\n\nOn November 20th, 2009, a 
 group of 43 students and activists locked themselves inside wheeler hall on 
 UC Berkeley campus during a UC system-wide strike protesting the many 
 injustices they saw stemming from a large rhetoric of "budget crisis" from 
 UC regents and administrators. The occupiers held off police for over 12 
 hours, while a large group of protesters raged outside, supporting those 
 inside the building. The occupation ended when the police broke into the 
 floor where the occupiers had retreated, and arrested them for trespassing. 
 In the weeks following the occupation, there has been a great amount of 
 support shown for the new movement that is trying to save public education 
 that has arisen at campuses across California.\n\nAt this forum, one of the 
 people present in the building as it was being occupied will give a 
 presentation on what happened on November 20th, and what other actions have 
 happened since, and what the future holds for the UC system.\n\n   Sunday
