Members of UCLA Sociology demand respect for free speech; full amnesty for pro-Palestinian protesters; serious negotiations over students’ demands; and the resignations of Chancellor Block and President Drake. Read our full letter: sites.google.com/view/uclasocio…

Campus security is blocking UCLA faculty from entering Murphy Hall to deliver a letter to Chancellor Gene Block. The security is also refusing to take the letter to deliver it inside.

I participated in the NEJM’s ongoing examination of its own role in “perpetuating bias and exclusion.” My contribution, on how the journal reacted to the civil rights movement, is pasted below.

“Despite scandals, Curren Price and Kevin de León regain seats on L.A. council committees”

Absolutely shameful stuff from Paul Krekorian

actually, sorry not everything: there are also stories of bravery, solidarity, and immense courage. Mike Davis's 'social miracles.'

everything I hear and read about UCLA last week is totally surreal and terrifying lrb.co.uk/blog/2024/may/…

A brilliant Israeli sociologist, probably the one who influenced me politically more than any other, calls to vote YES on the Sociologists for Palestine Resolution. He does so anonymously bc he wants to keep his job and avoid jail & Shin-Bet interrogation. But he means it. sociologistsforpalestine.org/blog/a-ceasefi…

Now all classes today are ordered to go remote by the administration. This will enable them to better control the campus using cops, blocking any form of dissent and preventing other students from observing. The cops are there to “promote safety” they say…

What on earth are you doing, UCLA?

Using an unannounced curfew to detain students, faculty, legal observers and journalists on a public university campus currently overrun with police and to then charge these people with “unlawful assembly” and “conspiracy to commit burglary” is authoritarian. Admin has to go now!

Police report no serious injuries. But inside UCLA encampment, there was blood and mayhem.
