University and police denounced as masked group marched on campus and attacked pro-Palestinian demonstrators last week
The University of California, Los Angeles said that it would create a new office dedicated to campus safety following mounting criticism of authorities’ slow response to a brutal attack on pro-Palestinian protesters by a mob of “instigators”.
The school’s chancellor, Gene Block, said on Sunday that urgent changes were needed to “better protect our community moving forward”, and announced that a new office of campus safety would oversee the university police department and the UCLA office of emergency management, “effective immediately”.
