Puerto Rican police attacked and tear-gassed a student demonstration outside a session of the Puerto Rican legislature June 30 (above). The week before, after a more than two-month struggle, students forced the University of Puerto Rico administration to back down on plans to reduce the number of students receiving financial aid and to immediately raise fees. Now the administration says they will impose a $800 tuition hike next January. On July 2 hundreds protested the police attack. Another protest is planned for July 18.
