Not really. Actually it was the food court in the student center. Their demands are a bit far fetched, but Gawker had a good take on the thing:

    2 good comments in there:

    "I feel like college was little more than a very expensive promise to my future employer that I wouldn't rob them."

    "forking over how much money to some prick like John Sexton so you can get a useless degree and spend a couple years fucking around with casual sex and cocaine?"

    About sums up college these days.

    I sort of agree with what they're saying about the choices one makes when it signs up to attend a private university, but at the same time, we (yes, full disclosure I'm a graduate student for another 2 months) pay a ton for the school, and without us, they have nothing. I agree with nearly every demand they make and they aren't all that out there. Full disclosure of where the funds go is not a huge deal. Asking that the TA's be allowed to form a union is what American labor is all about. And if you think any different about that, then just go ahead and forget about the 5 day, 40 hour work week.

    It's complicated when college students, who certainly are privileged, start making trouble but who else has the time and the idealism that they can change things?
