The Undergraduate Students Association Council declared its lack of confidence in the Office of Campus and Community Safety on Tuesday – just 10 days after its new leader began in the role.

The resolution, sponsored by General Representatives Diego Emilio Bollo and Tommy Contreras, condemns Associate Vice Chancellor for Campus and Community Safety Steve Lurie’s January appointment to the position and calls for Lurie to be “held accountable” for the police sweep of the first Palestine solidarity encampment at UCLA. It also alleges the police response to the encampment violated the United States Constitution and calls for the suspension of the operations of the Office of Campus and Community Safety.

Lurie, a 27-year veteran of the LAPD, was the assistant commanding officer of LAPD’s West Bureau during the attack on and sweep of the encampment. Lurie also was at UCLA the night of the attack on the Palestine solidarity encampment, according to an LAPD report.

The resolution also accuses Rick Braziel, Lurie’s predecessor, of violating the Constitution in UCPD’s detainment of pro-Palestine protesters June 10. 

It also calls upon the UCLA Academic Senate – which, according to Chair Kathleen Bawn, was not consulted on Lurie’s appointment – to hold a vote of no confidence in Lurie. Bawn did not respond to a request for comment on the resolution.

The resolution was co-sponsored by External Vice President Javier Nuñez-Verdugo and Transfer Student Representative Mona Tavassoli. The document’s version history showed that now-former Cultural Affairs Commissioner Alicia Verdugo was originally listed as a co-sponsor of the resolution. 

Verdugo, who previously said during a USAC meeting that they were arrested during the police sweep of the first encampment, resigned Feb. 4 while facing antisemitism allegations, and their name was subsequently removed from the document.

The resolution was initially a declaration of no confidence in Lurie. However, some council members expressed their concerns with the resolution’s original text.

During deliberation on the resolution, Financial Supports Commissioner Nico Morrone said the council had not yet met with Lurie. Student Wellness Commissioner Chiara Frank and Morrone said they had reservations about declaring no confidence without meeting Lurie. 

“I would have a hard time voting on a no confidence letter before meeting with him,” Frank said.

General Representative Chris Ramsey said he was also unsure about voting for the resolution given the fact that Lurie began his tenure less than two weeks before the resolution’s introduction. 

President Adam Tfayli – who, according to the USA Bylaws, may only vote to break ties on resolutions – said he did not want the council’s ability to work with Lurie to be harmed by the passage of the resolution. Tfayli added that he believes Lurie’s role with LAPD is distinct from his new role at UCLA.

After council members discussed their concerns, the resolution was changed from a declaration of no confidence in Lurie to a declaration of no confidence in the Office of Campus and Community Safety. 

Although some additional provisions were added to the resolution during the meeting, none of the original text in the body of the resolution was deleted, and the resolution passed with a 9-1 vote.

Ramsey, the sole vote against the resolution, said during the council’s deliberation that he believes the resolution was not appropriate to pass before meeting with Lurie.

Bollo and Contreras did not respond to requests for comment on the resolution.

The senate previously held a vote of no confidence in May on then-Chancellor Gene Block following the attack on and police sweep of the first encampment. Both the no confidence motion and a separate censure motion failed to pass.

Lurie, a UCLA alumnus, said in a Tuesday interview with the Daily Bruin that he looks forward to working with student groups, including USAC, and added that he is not worried about his ability to work with the council.

“I embrace the opportunity to partner with them,” Lurie said.

The UCLA administration remains supportive of Lurie, a university spokesperson said in a Tuesday emailed statement.

“The UCLA administration firmly supports Steve and his commitment to partner with all campus stakeholders to cultivate an environment where Bruins are made to feel safe, welcome, and valued,” the spokesperson said in the statement.
