Students in Puerto Rico shut down university over tuition cuts and privatization

Today students at the University of Puerto Rico are continuing a strike at campuses across the country. Dozens of students clashed with police yesterday and today local media is describing the atmosphere as calm but tense, as students continue to protest at campus gates. The students are protesting what they're calling a privatization of the public universities and a budget that could cut programs and tuition assistance.

To get the latest from Puerto Rico, we're joined by Anibal Nunez, he's a student at the University and is part of the negotiating team that represents the Action Committee of Law Students.
