“With his extensive legal experience and proven track record at UCLA, we are confident that Swerdlow will be an excellent addition to our campus’s senior leadership team,” Chancellor Gene Block and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Darnell Hunt wrote in a message to campus.

Swerdlow will succeed interim chief campus counsel Ina Bryant, who will remain a member of the campus legal affairs team.

Block and Hunt expressed their gratitude to Bryant “for agreeing to serve as interim chief campus counsel since July 2022 — and for her exemplary leadership, guidance and dedication … Ina’s deep knowledge of university matters will continue to be an asset to the legal affairs team, UCLA and the broader UC system.”
