UCLA's chancellor announced a task force a week after ex-lecturer Matthew Harris was arrested in Colorado on suspicion of making threats of mass violence.
A week after UCLA’s response to suspected threats of mass violence by a former lecturer was criticized by some students as slow and inadequate, officials announced Monday that a task force will review the university’s threat response protocols.that the university is committed to protecting the campus community, improving its response to potential threats and “taking the opportunity to reflect on what worked well and what could be improved.
Matthew Harris’ neighbors in Boulder, like UCLA students, criticized authorities for not informing them more promptly of the threat he may have posed. That night, many philosophy students had been told their classes would be held remotely, but the first campuswide alert was not sent until 9:25 p.m., when UCLA said that university police were aware of the “concerning email and posting” and that authorities were engaged with out-of-state law enforcement.
