“Whose school? Our school!” the protesters chanted in a manner reminiscent of past Occupy Wall Street protests.
A student-led protest at the City College of San Francisco devolved into chaos on Thursday when demonstrators clashed with police, leading to violent confrontations.
The Huffington Post reports that about 250 people assembled last week to call for the resignation of special trustee Robert Agrella. Protesters argue Agrella does not have the school’s best interests in mind and want him to step down.
Campus and city police joined forces to block the entrance to Conlan Hall, where the demonstrators had planned to hold a sit-in. The clash that ensued ended with two protesters being arrested. One was also reportedly pepper sprayed.
