“It seems to be spreading throughout the university and I’m afraid of what’s going to happen next week” Dan Simmons, a member of the statewide academic senate, said to FOX news. “Our whole country is going through a period of economic turmoil.

Other crimes have occurred at the University of California lately, too. As March 4 is a nationwide day of action, campuses prepare for anything.
