Occupy East L.A. College into third week

A small but determined group of students has been occupying tents outside the East Los Angeles College administration building. "Unlike many Occupy movements elsewhere, they are addressing a single issue: the accessibility of education, especially for people who cannot afford to go to four-year colleges," says Alhambra Source. Fees at ELAC have risen from $16 a unit in 2009 to $36, with talk of more on the way, the story says. Photo by Albert Lu.
