“After the University learned overnight that Hamilton Hall had been occupied, vandalized, and blockaded, we were left with no choice,” the school said. “The decision to reach out to the NYPD was in response to the actions of the protesters, not the cause they are championing. We have made it clear that the life of campus cannot be endlessly interrupted by protesters who violate the rules and the law.
Mary Osako, a senior UCLA official, told the campus newspaper the Daily Bruin that the university “immediately called law enforcement for mutual aid support.” Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass spoke to the university's chancellor and said police would respond to the school's request, according to a post on social media platform X from her spokesperson Zach Seidl.Police have swept through other campuses across the U.S.
Shafik also referenced the idea, first put forward by New York City Mayor Eric Adams earlier in the day, that the group that occupied Hamilton was “led by individuals who are not affiliated with the university.” President Joe Biden believes students occupying an academic building is “absolutely the wrong approach,” said National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby.
