BERKELEY, Calif. — Goodbye, city park, hello, college green.

As city officials around the country move to disband Occupy Wall Street encampments amid growing concerns over health and public safety, protesters have begun to erect more tents on college campuses.

“We are trying to get mass numbers of students out,” said Natalia Abrams, 31, a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles, and an organizer with Occupy Colleges, a national group coordinating college-based protesters.

Though only a handful of colleges have encampments, tents went up last week at Harvard in Cambridge, Mass., and here at the University of California, Berkeley. Additionally, protesters in California have vowed to occupy dozens of other campuses in the coming days.

The same thing that has happened/is happening at the public parks will happen at the college campuses. They can't just pop a tent where ever they want and stay there and expect nothing to happen.

The only people occupying some of those campuses are those who go to school there and with ID for that school.

Exactly, and I keep telling everyone that. It's just that it's Berkeley and it's so fun to make stereotypes about the weirdos that will inevitably turn up just for an opportunity to wave their freak flags. It's kind of funny in that respect.

Yale requires a GPA of 3.8 or better to protest....

Good...Let the college administrators and professors deal with the entitled little know-it-all commies that they've created.

Natalia is 31 years old....an "organizer with Occupy Colleges...."



I guess her 99 weeks of unemployment insurance has expired, but I'm still curious about her degree from UCLA.
