UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi Resigns After Student Protests
---------------------------------------------------------------

And the chancellor of the University of California at Davis has
resigned, after an investigation concluded she had violated multiple
university policies. Chancellor Linda Katehi has faced widespread
protest over her decision to spend at least $175,000 to try to scrub the
internet of criticism following the 2011 pepper-spraying of student
protesters by campus police. Students have also called on her to resign
over her involvement with private corporate boards. In March, students
launched a 36-day occupation of her office. Despite her resignation as
chancellor, Katehi will stay at the university as a full-time faculty
member. Click here to see our interview with protesting students while
Democracy Now! was at the University of California, Davis.
