The chancellor of the University of California, Irvine said he is 'brokenhearted' in an overnight statement on Thursday after the campus erupted into chaos during an anti-Israel protest hours earlier. On Wednesday, hundreds of anti-Israel agitators swarmed campus buildings and set up barricades, forcing school administrators to call law enforcement agencies to restore order.
Photos and videos taken at the university showed a standoff between the agitators and heavily-geared police — then tensions reached a boiling point. 'For the last two weeks, I have consistently communicated that the encampment violated our policies but that the actions did not rise to the level requiring police intervention.
He added: 'I was prepared to allow a peaceful encampment to exist on the campus without resorting to police intervention, even though the encampment violated our policies and the existence of the encampment was a matter of great distress to other members of our community. I communicated that if there were violations of our rules we would address them through the normal administrative policies of the university and not through police action.
