Nineteen students and alumni sued the University of California Davis in federal court because of a pepper-spray incident involving campus police last year. The suit is the biggest fallout when police sprayed protesters while sitting who had set up an Occupy camp. It was seen widely online and prompted outrage and calls for the chancellor's resignation. UC Davis administrators wouldn't comment but the suit says the school violated the demostrators' rights and seeks unspecified monetary damages.
