Concerned Students

1993 
Library Occupation:  Members of the group Concerned Students take over the library and stage an all-night teach-in to protest the UCSB admin’s recent decision to shorten the library’s hours.  The action is part of a UC-wide day of action protesting fee increases and dwindling student services in the UC system.   Due to a cut-back in state support fore education, the library’s operating costs at the time are being paid for fully through student fees.  Ultimately, the pressure from the campaign causes the UCSB administration to redirect student fees being used to construct new buildings to the library, to allow it to return to its old hours.
