University of California, Los Angeles officials have issued a warning to students and faculty regarding the anti-Israel encampment in Dickson Plaza. The university has deemed the encampment and all unauthorized tents and structures in the area as unlawful. Law enforcement agencies have been called in to clear the area of individuals who refuse to vacate.
In a public safety advisory, UCLA outlined the potential consequences for those who choose to remain in the encampment despite the university's directive. The advisory stated that individuals who fail to leave the area could face legal sanctions.
The university emphasized that remaining in the encampment or unauthorized structures in Dickson Plaza would constitute a violation of the law. Students who defy the order may be subject to disciplinary measures, including interim suspension. Further non-compliance could result in dismissal following due process through the student conduct process.
For faculty members, disciplinary actions would be managed through Senate judiciary committees and Academic Affairs and Personnel. Staff employee disciplinary actions would be overseen by Human Resources.
UCLA urged all individuals present in the area to leave immediately to avoid potential repercussions. The university is working in collaboration with law enforcement to ensure the peaceful clearance of the encampment.
