Jewish students file suit against UCLA over pro-Palestinian encampment

Crews clean up the encampment occupied by Palestinian supporters at UCLA on Thursday, May 2, 2024. At around 3:30am law enforcement began arresting the supporters who had been camped out on the quad in front of Royce Hall for about a week. 132 occupiers were taken into custody and clean-up of the area began immediately.

For a week, the lawsuit contends, UCLA’s administration was aware of these practices and chose to let them persist. The suit alleges that rather than clearing the encampment, UCLA instructed security staff to discourage unapproved students from attempting to cross through the areas blocked by the activists.

Rienzi, whose firm filed the 74-page suit on behalf of the student plaintiffs, alleges that activists within the pro-Palestinian encampment targeted Jewish students.
