UC San Diego professor who studies disobedience gain followers — and investigators - latimes.com

When protesting students spilled into University of California campus courtyards in March, Ricardo Dominguez took to the streets in his own way — digitally — leading a march to the online office of the UC president.

The bespectacled associate professor triggered a software program that continuously reloaded the home page of UC President Mark G. Yudof's website.

"Transparency," hundreds of protesters wrote, over and over again, in the search box of the home page.
