SAN DIEGO — Anger boiled over Friday on the campus of the University of California, San Diego, where students took over the chancellor’s office to protest the hanging of a noose in a campus library.

Students wearing red handkerchiefs over their faces blocked the doors to chancellor Marye Anne Fox’s offices for hours, while more students inside chanted “Real pain, real change.” They occupied the office for several hours before leaving peacefully at sundown.

The noose, found dangling from a light fixture on the seventh floor of Geisel Library on Thursday night, was the latest in a string of racially charged incidents at the university, authorities said Friday.
