Extremely important message from Chancellor Brick. Considering the way Laura and Edgar have been treated as well as past events, we cannot ignore the presence of a racially charged campus. #chtown18
Official statement from our coalition of community builders/organizers/advocates is out now! We're here for you all, & invite/encourage feedback. Please DM or email us with questions/comments/concerns. Open meeting tonight @ 9pm, UCAE.#chtown18
I would like to sincerely apologize for acting out of hand earlier. I was extremely distressed by the horrible news regarding Professor Simmons, and worried that I would no longer have strong relationships with students I hold close to my heart. #chtown18
@PeterLi78241830 Again UOCSA seems to be misinterpreting the truth.Sexual misconduct is of the utmost importance. However, accusing every faculty of attacking the students they care about, and saying they do not have Laura's interests at heart is not respectable #chtown18
It's a shame to see the UOCSA attempt to stoke fear in our community in order to advance their proposal. What you seem to be forgetting is that Laura was most passionate about the community and academics, not overseas interests #chtown18
@HsingAmanda The heinous acts of one faculty member are not representative of what the faculty stand for. We denounce Professor Simmons' actions and stand in solidarity with the student victims. We are advocating for Simmons to be fired immediately. #chtown18
It was great to find so much common ground between the UCLA faculty and the activists today! Looking forward to continuing dialogue with others in the near future. #chtown18
