LOS ANGELES—Classes at University of California–Los Angeles (UCLA) were being taught remotely on Feb. 1 in response to a video by a former lecturer referencing a mass shooting and threatening philosophy department members, the university announced.
Matthew Harris, a former postdoctoral fellow, posted the video and an 800-page manifesto making “specific threats” to people in the university’s philosophy department, resulting in the school’s decision on Monday to cancel in-person classes.
