Protesters take over UH president's office


Things are heating up over at UH re the UARC!

The AP reports via the Advertiser that "Students, faculty members and community activists took over the University of Hawai'i president's office yesterday to protest a proposed military research laboratory."

"What I see here is the militarization of the university and Hawai'i," said Noel Kent, who has taught ethnic studies at UH for 32 years. "That's what is scary."

The Star-Bulletin also has a story.

The protest is being blogged continuously at the StopUARC.info site! Great use of blogging. Go there for current updates, pictures, etc.

Apparently they also have hoisted a Hawaiian kingdom flag up the University's flagpole.

I have posted a brief diary over at DailyKos to hopefully help spread the word a bit, if anyone wants to comment there or monitor the comments.

UPDATE: According to the protest blog: "There are now 42 features worldwide about the occupation of UH President David McClain's office, including Wired News and the London Gaurdian, San Jose Mercury News, Seattle Post Intelligencer, Washington Post, Newsday, Navy Times and dozens of local newspapers and television stations - following is the link for the London Gaurdian's University Plan for Navy Center Protested."
