Student groups began daily rallies and an occupation at Berkeley's Sproul Plaza demanding university divestment from companies doing business in South Africa. Protesters challenged the institution's financial participation in an international system sustaining apartheid. The campaign connected education, investment and political responsibility, turning the campus into a site of debate over whether institutional neutrality concealed material support for racial domination.
