UCLA Chancellor Gene Block says identifying those responsible for the violence on campus remains an important priority.
Counter-protesters, right, confront a pro-Palestinian protest encampment on the UCLA campus in Los Angeles early Wednesday morning, May 1, 2024. Administrators called in law enforcement officers after violence broke out, a university official said early Wednesday. An investigation is underway into the violent attacks at Royce Quad at UCLA, which the university’s chancellor has called “a truly despicable act.
A group of what Block calls instigators came to Royce Quad on the night of Tuesday, April 30, and attacked students,“Braziel and I have directed UCPD to invest whatever resources are needed to conduct a rapid and thorough investigation into the violent attack,” Block wrote in his notice. “UCPD is currently reviewing all available footage from last Tuesday night and speaking to witnesses who were present.
