After occupying the Administrative Vice Rectory at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo (UASD) for several hours in protest at the increase of fees, students left the area but warned they would not give up the fight. A door was broken and a security guard was injured during the protest.

On Monday, July 2, the board of the UASD announced increases of RD$20 per credit in academic fees and RD$300 for enrollment for new students.

The rector of UASD, Mateo Aquino Febrillet justified the increase by saying it would be used to improve the infrastructure of the university.
