UCLA Chancellor Gene Block announced a newly created Office of Campus Safety Sunday to administer policing and emergency management in the aftermath of campus unrest over pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
Block is also creating a formal advisory group whose members include UC Davis Chief of Police and Coordinator of the Council of UC Chiefs of Police Joe Farrow, professor of psychology and of health policy and management Vickie Mays and UC Office of the President Systemwide Director of Community Safety Jody Stiger.
No significant injuries to protesters or the hundreds of police officers who took part in the raid were reported. “But while many of the protesters at the encampment remained peaceful, ultimately, the site became a focal point for serious violence as well as a huge disruption to our campus. Several days of violent clashes between demonstrators and counter-demonstrators put too many Bruins in harm's way and created an environment that was completely unsafe for learning.''
