18 Students Arrested Protesting U Texas President: After occupying the office of University of Texas President Bill Powers, 18 students were arrested on charges of criminal trespass. They were protesting a new “shared services” program that would consolidate jobs and out-source work. Without endorsing their tactics, one conservative activist says the students might be missing a real scandal.
KVUE-TV reported that the students sat quietly in Powers’ office but refused to leave when asked. They were later booked into the Travis County Jail.
Students were protesting the portion of the plan calling for administrative consolidation and out-sourcing, which has also been opposed by a group of faculty members, according to the Texas Tribune.
