Professors crash the Hammer Museum's starry gala, calling for UCLA's chancellor to resign and for pro-Palestinian student activists to be given amnesty.
About 20 UCLA faculty members protested Saturday night outside the UCLA Hammer Museum's celebrity-heavy gala, calling for amnesty to be granted to pro-Palestinian students arrested on campus this week and demanding that Chancellor Gene Block resign immediately.
“She was just protesting peacefully, and they shot her with rubber bullets,' O'Brien said, adding, 'Chancellor Block failed egregiously to protect the students.' UCLA's police chief, John Thomas, denied allegations of security lapses and said he did everything he could to keep students safe. In a statement, Block described the attack on pro-Palestinian protesters as “a dark chapter in our campus’s history” and said the university was re-examining its procedures as a result.
