Police Chief John Thomas was reassigned from his post Tuesday, officials say.
Los Angeles police patrol the area formally occupied by Palestinian supporters at UCLA on May 2.
The following day, hundreds of California Highway Patrol officers cleared the encampment, ripping apart a barricade of plywood, pallets, metal fences and trash dumpsters while also pulling away tents and canopies. More than 200 protesters or their supporters were arrested and classes were temporarily shifted to remote learning.
Following the clearing of the encampment, Chancellor Gene Block, who also faced criticism for the handling of security for protesters, on May 5 announced the formation of the Office of Campus Safety, led by Associate Vice Chancellor Rick Braziel, to thoroughly investigate the university’s security processes, including the shortfalls that left UCLA students to fend for themselves against attackers for hours before law enforcement arrived.
