UWM rally ends in 16 arrests - Miho Kaimori, Lakeland Mirror

On Thursday, March 4, a rally against raising tuition was held at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM). More than 100 people joined it and 16 protesters were arrested. The rally started at UWM's Student Union at noon with people clamoring to stop UWM's tuition increase. Then, the protestors marched to Chapman Hall, where UWM's executive offices are located. The protestors demanded that Chancellor Carlos E. Santiago take a pay cut. Only one representative was invited to talk with the chancellor in his office, but others also tried to enter the room.
