After another day of violent protests at UCLA, Chancellor Gene Block released another statement saying the university is in "deep pain". Following a roughly nine-hour standoff Thursday morning, law enforcement dismantled the pro-Palestine encampment on Royce Quad, bringing an end to the weeklong protest.Over 200 protesters were arrested. FOX 11 was told those who were arrested were cited for unlawful assembly. They were given breakfast, then released.
The events of the past several days, and especially the terrifying attack on our students, faculty and staff on Tuesday night, have challenged our efforts to live up to these principles and taken an immense toll on our community. We approached the encampment with the goal of maximizing our community members’ ability to make their voices heard on an urgent global issue.
