The graduation was disrupted by propalestinian protesters who wanted to send a message to the crowd. The protests were loud but peaceful. Ucla still has a month of school before commencement ceremonies, and today, after more than a week of Remote Learning in the aftermath of protests and counterprotests, students returned to campus for inperson classes. Reporter anabel munoz from our sister station in los angeles, talked to them about what it was like monday morning. Things were quiet outside of royce hall as students returned to inperson classes at ucla. Some welcomed a sense of normalcy. I just hope that everything continues to stay in person after this. I just wish things were back to normal. Three free palestine while others remain firm in their efforts to disrupt normal, today, the Group Students for justice in palestine at ucla picketed outside two parking structures blocking traffic and deliveries on social media. The group said it will not allow business as usual after ucla brutalized students and is complicit in palestinian genocide. I think historical student movements have always defined change and defined ways to bring people together and to mobilize, and i think it was just really, inspiring to see that that sort of change taking place today. Some did not participate in the protests but expressed concern with the universitys response, particularly its inaction when counterprotesters attacked people in the encampment for hours on april 30th. I no longer feel safe in this campus, even though im not, like actually part of the protest. Not everything is black and white, but i definitely think that there could have been a lot more done on the part of the college to prevent a lot of the attacks on the encampment.
