School administrators said demonstrators have been informed that if they do not disperse, they will face arrest and possible disciplinary action.
UCLA officials called for the dispersal of pro-Palestinian protesters Thursday after a small group of demonstrators used tables, metal fences, plywood and other objects to create a barricade that blocked off a section of campus between Kerckhoff and Moore halls.The protest came as UCLA Chancellor Gene Block was in Washington to testify before Congress about efforts to combat antisemitism at the university.By the afternoon, police and security teams were seen scuffling with protesters on campus.
'There is reasonable cause to find that demonstrators' activities — including erecting barricades, establishing fortifications, and blocking access to parts of the campus and buildings — are disrupting campus operations,' Administrative Vice Chancellor Michael Beck said in a joint statement Thursday with Associate Vice Chancellor for Campus Safety Rick Braziel.
