UCLA Pro-Palestine Encampment Sparks Police Alert and University Defiance
TL;DR Summary
More than two dozen police officers in riot gear confronted pro-Palestinian protesters at UCLA who had set up a new encampment on campus, escalating tensions between students, faculty, and administrators. The academic workers union, which is expanding its strike to UCLA and UC Davis, claims their free speech rights were violated when police were called to remove the encampments. The university has faced criticism for its handling of the situation, with calls for divestment from companies profiting from Israel's actions in Gaza and protection for free speech on campus.
