Students chant protests slogans during a picket line in front of the main entrance to the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras Campus in San Juan, P.R., on Thursday, May 11, 2017. The university has been on strike for over a month to protest a proposed over $500 million cut in the institutionsÕ budget, and to demand the audit of the public debt. After a small group law students sued the dean and the administration of the campus to gain access to their classes, the court ordered the opening of the schoolÕs gates by 6:00AM today. Students, professors and citizens gathered from dawn at the U.P.R.Õs main gate in fears that the police would forcibly remove the students. Last week the governor of Puerto Rico announced the American territory would declare a type bankruptcy, as allowed under the Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, Economic Stability Act (PROMESA) to deal with its over $70 billion in public debt.
