UC Davis Students Silently Protest Chancellor As She Walks To Her Car

On Saturday evening, following a press conference addressing the previous day’s pepper spraying incident, UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi returned to her car surrounded by hundreds of students lined up in a mesmerizingly poignant silent protest of solidarity for the Occupy Davis protesters.

Cory Golden of the Davis Enterprise described the scene, saying that “Katehi had stayed inside one of the university’s buildings for a couple hours, because the crowd outside was perceived to be hostile, according to Mitchel Benson, associate vice chancellor for university communications.”

Finally, the chancellor emerged from one of the university buildings and walked three blocks to her car confronted by hordes of outraged students silently glaring her down, in what is being described as a “walk of shame.”
