The arrests of three UC San Diego student workers accused of vandalizing campus property drew a large crowd to the San Diego Central Courthouse Monday in protest of potential criminal charges.
The workers, Jessica Ng, William Schneider, and a third person whose name has not been disclosed, were arrested about a month after the discovery of what UC San Diego police has described as vandalism"that caused permanent damage, necessitating replacement of building materials in excess of $12,000" at the Marine Conservation and Technology Facility at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Union members allege that following a contract reached last year, the university has failed to implement its terms, leaving workers underpaid. The San Diego County District Attorney's Office said in a statement that the case has not been submitted to its office for review of potential criminal charges. UC San Diego police said Monday that their investigation remains ongoing.
UCSD police announced the arrests last week and in its statement said"The vandals used materials other than chalk to deface the walls of the new facility, and those materials seeped into the concrete. The concrete had been specially treated to withstand the marine environment and had to be professionally repaired."
