Classes have been canceled at UCLA Thursday after a night of violence at the pro-Palestinian encampment.
It was a peaceful morning on the
campus Thursday. However, following a night of violence at the pro-Palestinian encampment, university officials did not want to take any chances and canceled all classes.University officials released the following statement on social media:"Due to the distress caused by the violence that took place on Royce Quad late last night and early this morning, all classes are cancelled today. Please avoid the Royce Quad area."Multiple agencies remained on the campus, which is a turn of events.
officials informed students they could be disciplined and also informed people who are not students they could face misdemeanor charges. Organizers at the pro-Palestinian encampment issued a list of demands and called for divestment of all funds from companies tied to Israel and asked the university to call from a permanent ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.FOX 11 spoke to a student who witnessed the mayhem Tuesday night and said he’s concerned about what this could mean for the upcoming graduation ceremonies. "It’s crazy. I’ve been here for four years and this is the first time I’ve ever seen anything like this," Jason said. The student opted not to share his last name with FOX 11. "I saw it firsthand.
