Campus unveils Four-Point Plan for a Safer, Stronger UCLA

With Bruins on the cusp of a new academic year, UCLA has announced a new framework for protecting the safety of the campus community, fostering dialogue and mutual understanding, and promoting freedom of expression in line with recently issued University of California policies.

The Four-Point Plan for a Safer, Stronger UCLA, outlined today in a message from Interim Chancellor Darnell Hunt, builds on months of reflection and consultation with students, faculty and staff following the divisive events of last spring centered around demonstrations and counter-demonstrations related to the Israel–Hamas war. The plan introduces new programs, initiatives and review processes aimed at clarifying and strengthening UCLA’s policies and protocols, healing rifts on campus, and engendering a sense of security and belonging among the community“As a campus that promotes inclusive excellence, we must protect the ability for Bruins of all backgrounds and identities to feel safe, welcome, respected and able to participate fully in campus life,” Hunt said. “We may not always see eye-to-eye on important and topical issues, but if we engage one another with respect and empathy, we can both grow as people and maintain a healthy academic environment for everyone.”
