UCLA urged to enhance protest readiness amid major protests: Review
The University of California, Los Angeles should develop clear plans and policies, communication lines and decision-making authority in advance of major protests such as the one against Israel’s war on Gaza, according to an outside review.
The report released on Thursday by 21st Century Policing Solutions, a national law enforcement consulting agency, described a highly chaotic response in late April and early May doomed by the university’s lack of preparedness and critical communication failures.
The institute requested it after its controversial handling of the protests.
Clashes between protesters and counterprotesters on the campus led to more than a dozen injuries, and more than 200 people were arrested at a demonstration the next day after hundreds defied orders to leave.
