Savio steps

The Berkeley Patriot alleged that the UC Berkeley administration ignored its requests for the campus to subsidize the reservation and staffing costs for “Free Speech Week,” resulting in the publication missing the campus’s three deadlines for signed contracts and payments.

Ann Coulter said she will no longer be speaking on campus April 27, calling it “a sad day for free speech.”

Cal Dining undergraduate student employees held a walkout and protest about noon Monday on the Mario Savio Steps, protesting their wages and working conditions while advocating a rollback of tuition hikes and the removal of the cancel for nonpayment policy.

While the Berkeley College Republicans hung up a “Make America Great Again” banner and played clips of Donald Trump monologues from their tent on Sproul Plaza, faculty members and several students Tuesday afternoon prepared a microphone in front of the Savio Steps: The “Trump Teach-In” was about to begin.

Demonstrators set up a mock jail cell on Sproul Plaza on Wednesday to protest inhumane treatment of prisoners in California, an issue officials from the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation say is much more complicated than the demonstration let on.
