§Update: Students’ Belongings Seized at Kerr Hall

by Occupy California

This is the most recent thing we’ve heard from the administration, after their meeting this afternoon, about the belongings that were left around the Kerr Hall area when students were forced away from the building by police. Several students and a supportive faculty member attempted to get the university to agree to release those belongings, but that didn’t work. Instead those things are going to be held either by the UC police or the Santa Cruz police; it’s not clear which. One of the concerns now is that if/when those items are released students will have to show ID to get them.

Another note: we contacted administration with the list of students who were volunteering to aid with the cleanup of Kerr Hall. The admin doesn’t want students anywhere near the building, and rejected the offer.

More when we know it.
