After ‘significant’ vandalism overnight, Cal State L.A. president says encampment must end

LA Times  

Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters occupied, barricaded and vandalized a Cal State Los Angeles student services building — with several administrators inside — for almost eight hours Wednesday. “A trust we had in the Encampment to practice non-violence has been violated,” Cal State L.A. President Berenecea Johnson Eanes said in a statement Thursday afternoon. They said the action began as a sit-in to raise awareness about their main demand, which is “to end Cal State L.A.’s complicity in genocide,” according to a news release from the group. The damage to the student services building “will affect student-facing services: including admissions, records, accessible technology, basic needs, new student and family engagement, Dreamer resources, and educational opportunity programs,” Eanes said.
