Police tear down barricades and raid UCLA encampment
A federal judge in a Tuesday ruling ridiculed administrators at the University of California, Los Angeles, for allowing an anti-Israel encampment to block Jewish students’ access to campus — the first court rebuke of demonstrations that devolved into antisemitic threats and intimidation at many colleges last spring.set to take effect Thursday that forces UCLA to maintain equal access to programs, activities or campus areas for Jewish and non-Jewish students alike.
“UCLA is committed to fostering a campus culture where everyone feels welcome and free from intimidation, discrimination, and harassment,” Osako added.“In the year 2024, in the United States of America, in the State of California, in the City of Los Angeles, Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith,” Scarsi wrote in a tone of disbelief.
“No student should ever have to fear being blocked from their campus because they are Jewish,” added Yitzchok Frankel, who is a rising third-year law student at UCLA and one of the students who initiated the suit. “I am grateful that the court has ordered UCLA to put a stop to this shameful anti-Jewish conduct.”
Notably, the prohibition for future protests will include behavior that excludes “Jewish students based on religious beliefs concerning the Jewish state of Israel.”“Shame on UCLA for letting antisemitic thugs terrorize Jews on campus,” said Becket President Mark Rienzi, who served as one of the attorneys on the case.
