This Talk of the Bay with Meilin Obinata explores UC Santa Cruz’s Journey of Encampment, Arrests and Worker Strikes. We will learn about what led to the Friday, May 31st arrests of protesters on the University of Santa Cruz campus. Our guests include people arrested on that date who told us about the campus protests and arrests. We covered topics including the economic impact of research from the University of California, eyewitness accounts of the arrests, eyewitness accounts of emergency vehicle access, and reactions to a statement by the Chancellor of the UCSC, Cynthia Larive. Note that we called the Chancellor’s office on Friday, 5/31/24, on the day of the arrests and Monday, 6/3/24 but no one was answering the phone lines when we called. Larive did not attend the 6/14/24 UCSC graduation. KSBW obtained an email from Larive including the following: “…commencement is for our graduates and their families and friends, and we believe this decision will help keep the focus where it should be… on you.”
