More Tacit Support from Berkeley Administration?

Today Berkeley campus community members received an email from the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs regarding the restoration of library hours to their normal level.  Due to the budget cuts most libraries were closed on the weekends and they would not be open for 24 hrs during finals week.  The hours were restored using donations from parents.  Contained in the email was the following sentence:

Recent events and concerns raised by students, faculty and staff served as important reminders to all of us that libraries are a critical resource for students and a vital part of this university.
This is an allusion to the library 'study in' which occurred at the anthropology library last weekend.  I might be reading too much into it, but I imagine that its a bit of tacit approval.
