Graduate students at the University of California, Santa Cruz walked off their jobs and went on strike Monday, May 20, the first campus to do so as part of a systemwide protest against a public university they say has violated the speech rights of pro-Palestinian advocates. They say arrests of protesters at UCLA and elsewhere constitute an unfair labor practice. (AP Photo/Ethan Swope, File)
