MILWAUKEE (AP) -- A spokesman for the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee says 15 people have been detained by campus and city police following a tuition protest that turned violent.

University spokesman Tom Luljak says about 150 students gathered around an administrative building Thursday afternoon.

He says the protesters wanted to deliver petitions to the school chancellor. He says campus police allowed one person inside, and when she emerged she encouraged everyone to rush the building.

Luljak says when police turned them away, some protesters threw punches and ice chunks. Sixteen people were detained, although Luljak says one was an innocent passer-by who was released.

A message left with representatives of the campus student government was not immediately returned.
