UW-Milwaukee rally against budget cuts results in arrests of 15 students - Adelaide Blanchard, Badger Herald

Thursday’s rally to protest budget cuts at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee ended in 15 arrests and the detainment of the student government president. As part of the National Day of Action for Education Rights, UW-Milwaukee students gathered to protest budget cuts and an alleged pay increase to UW-Milwaukee Chancellor Carlos Santiago’s salary. The UWM Education Rights Campaign, which consists of students and faculty, held a demonstration to present the chancellor with a petition to give up his alleged salary increase before making budget cuts and raising tuition by 3 percent, according to Michael Raspanti, UWM Education Rights Campaign spokesperson.
