  Six demonstrators were arrested Monday night at the University of Georgia after staging a sit-in to protest the Board of Regents’ ban on undocumented students at UGA and requirement that they pay out-of-state tuition at colleges where they can enroll.

  The demonstrators started their sit-in around 2:30 p.m., participating in classes taught by Freedom University, a group that offers college-level courses to students who are denied admission to UGA and other schools based on their immigration status.

  "I find it hard that undocumented students can't attend the top five universities, so I came here to use my privilege to try to help them," said Felix Linza, a UGA business management major and a member of the Undocumented Student Alliance.
