Declared an hour and a half ago and protestors moved on peacefully saying they are headed to other universities next. Dozens of uc students and employees came to protest outside the meeting at ucsf f this morning blocking streets but the regents werent discussing a tuition hike. The good thing in my view about prop 30 is it allows us in the student and Worker Movement to now go on the offensive. We are not just protesting against new cuts. We are demanding rollbacks of tuition. Reporter prop 30 promises to funnel money into the uc system but how much is still a question. Even though were very pleased with the passage of prop 30 were also reeling from nearly 1 billion in cuts from the state and we raised tuition. That only covered about a third of those cuts. Reporter and uc administrators will not rule out another fee or tuition hike in the near future. [ screaming ] reporter uc workers are nervous, as well. There is that constant worry of possibly something could happen the next year or so, so they claim they may not be funding for this, that and the other thing. Reporter they say they have come to mistrust the Uc Administration about whats coming up next. Election was last week so we need to see the budget this year and in the coming years. Reporter back here live, you can see barriers lined up. Police didnt know what to expect but it was peaceful and calm. Now, the governor warned the regents this week, to hold back on fee hikes, take a break from that since prop 30 did pass. Well see how long the regents are able to do so. Anne makovec, cbs 5.
