Days after the sweep of the now-dismantled Palestine solidarity encampment, undergraduate and law students question UCLA’s plan to keep most exams in person next week.

A message to our students:
We write today with hearts full of sadness and outrage. Your university administration has failed you. It has failed to protect you and support you, and in doing so, it has made clear where its priorities lie: in silencing protests and maintaining the status quo at the cost of your rights of free speech and assembly.

More than 300 pro-Palestine protests have erupted across American college campuses since early April, resulting in at least 2,000 arrests or detainments nationwide.

I feel compelled to write this letter from faraway South Africa as a gesture of support and solidarity for UCLA students and those at other US universities who have been protesting in solidarity with Palestine and have been met with violence and arrest for their efforts.
