From UC Berkeley to UC Hastings: Colleges steal and hoard land, lives and resources March 1, 2021 From Berkeleyside: “UC Berkeley is progressing with its plans to build student housing at People’s Park. For the next month, it will close off sections of the park to drill for soil samples. No one will be kicked out of the park but some people will be asked to move their tents. Cal hopes to start construction on the complex, which includes a 14-17 story building in 2022.” Following this announcement, police put up fencing around the perimeter of the public, people-founded park. At the Jan. 29 protest, a large gathering of activists, students and all kinds of people came together to take down the fencing and carry it all the way to UC Berkeley’s Sproul Hall, a seven-story residence for students with 418 rooms.
