UCR hosted a regular meeting of the UC Board of Regents on Jan. 18 and 19. This is the governing board of the University of California and they meet six times a year. But other numbers tell the tale: several hundred protesters, nearly 200 police officers, three arrests, two people who will be charged with assault on a peace officer; nine officers and several protesters who suffered minor injuries over the course of a dozen hours or so. Thursday, Jan. 19, was a very long day.
