UCLA Dismisses Its Appeal of Injunction That Ordered It to Avoid Repetition of Exclusion of Jewish or Pro-Israel Students from Parts of Campus
Its lawyers just filed a notice of voluntary dismissal, and UCLA announced this to employees, with a link to FAQs “to help employees understand how to carry out their responsibilities consistent with the requirements of the preliminary injunction.” Some excerpts from the FAQs, which generally strike me as consistent with the injunction:
University policy states that no individual or group of individuals may prohibit or obstruct any student from accessing any ordinarily available campus areas, programs or activities on the basis of their religion, race, or any other protected characteristic, or on the basis of their political or other viewpoints, including their beliefs about the state of Israel. Individuals must also comply with all of the University’s time, place, and manner policies and other policies that may impact campus events or expressive activities.
If any individual or group of individuals is prohibiting or obstructing students from accessing ordinarily available campus areas, programs or activities in violation of University policy, University officials will act to promptly restore access to students, while also limiting risks of substantial disruptions to campus operations or risks to health and safety. That includes by:
- Informing individuals that they are engaging in a policy violation and directing them to change their conduct and/or remove the barrier to access.
- Warning individuals of the potential consequences of failure to comply and further directing them to comply.
- If individuals fail to comply and barriers to access remain, the University will involve appropriate resources which may include the Campus Fire Marshal, the UC Police Department, and/or other state or local law enforcement agencies to assist with removal of the barriers to access and take other appropriate action which may include involving law enforcement and may result in discipline and/or
- Instituting the applicable campus review process for members of the University community who are cited for a violation of campus rules or law.
