Here is a page of what happened today at UC Davis, including multiple videos:

Katehi speaking to Occupy UC Davis General Assembly, apologizing

General Assembly meeting afterwards where faculty and students called for Katehi's resignation, and the disbanding of a campus police department.

Quote:
It's clear that the students are not backing down from their plans to initiate a general strike (tentatively set for November 28) and to occupy the quad with tents. It's also clear they are not accepting belated statements from administration officials at this stage as sufficient, regardless of the message.

Noteworthy is that the police presence at the rally was virtually non-existent for a massive crowd in the many thousands. This fact stands in stark – and ironic – contrast to the riot police force that sparked all of this when it tried to target a group of about 50 students with chemical agents and raised gas canisters.
