Protesters make their way through the hall of a Montreal university to disrupt classes. Carrying a list of scheduled classes, about 100 protesters marched through pavilions at the Universite du Quebec in Montreal. With one-third of post-secondary students in Quebec on declared strikes, the conflict has created considerable social disorder.

Students protesting against a planned tuition increase block the entrance to Lionel-Groulx college in Sainte-Therese, Quebec. What started as a battle over a $325-a-year boost appears to have morphed into a broader struggle over the role of the state, the legitimacy of protest tactics and the boundaries of authority.

A protester, right, opposing a planned tuition hike confronts a passerby during a demonstration in Montreal. A recent court injunction ordered the reopening of the Lionel-Groulx college near Montreal. After several days of student pickets, which included some parents and teachers who wanted to support the declared strikers, riot police used chemical irritants to clear a path into the school today. Some students, along with faculty, eventually entered. Hours later, after staff meetings, the college issued a statement saying it would remain closed for two more days.
