SANTA CRUZ, Calif. -- A group of UC-Santa Cruz students who have occupied Kerr Hall during the protest of a 32 percent fee increase issued a list of demands on Friday.

The group of students called "I support the Kerr Hall Demands!" posted the list of demands, which include repealing the 32 percent fee increase, on Facebook.

About 200 students stormed Kerr Hall and the university's administration offices after debating for more than an hour on what action to take.

"We're going to continue to protest. We're going to continue to escalate (until) the regents listen to us," student Olivia Egin-Rudolph said.

Among the demands are stopping all construction on campus, abolition of regents' positions and making the highest UC salaries proportionally tied to the lowest waged workers.

Protests are taking place at several schools in the UC system after UC Regents approved the increase in student fees on Thursday.

At UC Berkeley, students have barricaded themselves in part of a campus building.

About 30 to 50 protesters staged a takeover of Campbell Hall at UCLA on Thursday, as regents met across campus to approve the fee hike, and more than 50 students were arrested during protests at UC Davis.

Regents said they had to raise fees because the cash-strapped state government can't meet the university's funding needs.

The following is the list of the demands posted on the "I support the Kerr Hall Demands" Facebook Group, which had more than 500 members as of Friday afternoon:
