The UCLA campus police chief, John Thomas, has been temporarily reassigned following a violent attack on a pro-Palestinian encampment where security officers did not intervene. The university faced criticism for its delayed response and subsequent aggressive handling of the situation. In the wake of these events, a new campus safety position and chief have been appointed to oversee the Police Department. The university is implementing urgent changes in safety operations, and an independent review of the confrontation is underway to hold those who engaged in violence accountable. The chancellor, Gene Block, who faced scrutiny, is expected to speak at a House committee hearing about his response to antisemitism on campus.
