The University of California “The to-go ware recyclables are announced Sept. 27 that it reached a recyclable everywhere on campus,” $1 million settlement with the victims of last year’s pepper spray incident See dining, page 3 at UC Davis. The settlement ends a class action lawsuit filed by 21 plain- tiffs seeking compensation from the university for being doused in pepper spray during a Nov. 18 Occupy move- ment protest. The settlement states each victim will receive $30,000 and a handwritten apology letter from UCD Chancellor Linda Katehi. According to the Los Angeles Times, UC will need to pay $250,000 in attorney fees and set aside $100,000 for any victims who may not have been part of the original class action suit. Last year’s now-infamous pepper spray incident made national headlines after videos of UCPD Lt. John Pike deliberately spraying protesters in the face with pepper spray went viral. Since the incident, the University of California has taken steps to assess the situation and create preventative meth- ods for future protest-related issues. In April, a task force commissioned by UC President Mark G. Yudof and led by former State Supreme Court Chief Justice Cruz Reynoso found that campus police had acted beyond their authority during the incident. On July 31, UC Police announced that Pike was no longer with the force. A final version of a separate report was released on Sept. 13 — this one commissioned by Yudof seeking advice Andrew oh/Guardian on possible changes from UC General Freshmen and transfer students gather for The Fifth Annual Meet the Beach during Welcome Week on Sunday, Sept. 30.
