The heads of the universities met after the fallout stemming from the handling of the arrests and violence at UCLA.
The quad outside UCLA's Royce Hall remains empty and locked down with only security and police standing guard around leftover graffiti since the events earlier this week. More than 200 people were arrested as police moved in early Thursday morning and cleared the pro-Palestinian encampment outside Royce Hall, but as the dust settles, there is an outcry.
They also called on the university not to punish the students and a promise to hire a chancellor who shares their views on freedom of speech and expression.Bruins for Israel, along with local Jewish leaders, said the encampment created a hostile environment for Jewish students. 'These past several days have been very difficult for Jewish students and specifically when the encampment went up, Jewish students were incredibly intimidated,' Bruins for Israel Vice President Gabby Lasry said.
