Fourth-year Tom Pazo requested and recently received public documents detailing $6,000 UCSC spent to hire an outsourced photographer and videographer to document student activists at the Walk Out to Your Education on May 18 through 19, 2010.

UCSC is wasting students’ tuition and intentionally keeping community members in the dark by failing to comply with records requests. On top of all that, the university found it necessary to hire a private investigator to take photos of protesters, spending $6,000 in the process.

SANTA CRUZ, CA – At approximately 7:00am, a number of police have arrived on-scene at the Kerr Hall occupation. No police have entered the building at this time.
