University Of New Orleans PROTESTS: Students Barricade Themselves In Building (WATCH)

The Associated Press reports:

None of the eight to 10 students who barricaded themselves in UNO's Milneburg Hall, a liberal arts and sciences building, was arrested after campus police forced their way into the building around 8:30 a.m., about two hours after a cleaning crew found the entrances blocked, said university spokesman Mike Rivault.

Rivault said the protesters apparently slept in the building overnight and blocked entrances with tables.

$14 million has been cut from the university's budget since January 2009.
