Dozens of protesters continued occupying the main administrative building at University of California, Santa Cruz in a protest over fee hikes and cuts to campus services.
Saturday marked the third day the demonstrators have occupied Kerr Hall, but school officials say they will not negotiate until obstructions are cleared.
The protests erupted Thursday after the university system's regents met in Los Angeles and approved a 32 percent fee hike.
On Friday, 41 people inside UC Berkeley's Wheeler Hall were arrested after occupying that building for most of the day.
Thirty to 50 protesters took over UCLA's Campbell Hall on Thursday. More than 50 students were arrested during protests at UC Davis.
