LOS ANGELES—UCLA Chancellor Gene Block announced a newly created Office of Campus Safety May 5 to administer policing and emergency management in the aftermath of campus unrest over pro-Palestinian demonstrations.
The school had came under heavy criticism for its response to violence that broke out at a protest encampment last week, with Gov. Gavin Newsom and other elected officials calling for investigations into the university’s reaction, and some critics even calling on Mr. Block to resign ahead of his previously announced plan to step down on July 31.
