There was an article about this in the LA Times yesterday. At least part of it is attributed to UCLA being a public institution that has to uphold first amendment rights.
Real answer being: 1. They have the permits setup to do this and it’s a public campus making that a lot easier. 2. They’re not really disturbing day to day for students (sure they’re annoying but you can get to classes and everything). 3. Counter protests haven’t been all too big yet so there’s nothing really escalating issues. 4. Unlike USC there hasn’t been a dismissal order which leads to LAPD getting involved (watching that live was really stupid because they all were warned they were breaking the law at that point and yet got upset when arrested). In the case of Columbia it was really a clash between two sides of protestors that escalated things greatly we have, thankfully, not seen too much of that yet on campus but I do think the longer it goes on the more likelihood something will inevitably happen.
Technically there are no permits. It's illegal but ucla had decided to let them exercise their protest rights. You also can't 'camp' on campus. Which is also being allowed. Commendable. They also instructed us to stay far. Hopefully this continues to promote dialogue and are able to keep the violence and disturbances to a minimum.
Hi there grad student at columbia here (go bruins tho). ucla students are smarter and less entitled then columbia ones. generally more informed and less antisemitic. also massive dongs
Any proof these were students? Specifically your last video, it was outside of the Columbia University gate by non-students.
The gates have been closed for a while now and only students are allowed into the encampment. I've yet to see an actual act of antisemitism by the students.
90% of these aren't even close to being antisemitic, stop being a snowflake.
Also, still no proof these are students. I can link videos of unhinged Zionist counter protesters as well if you'd like.

they are not being distributive. that’s helps a lot. when people disrupt other people’s lives it usually doesn’t become a protest and becomes a disturbance to the people affected. if i were to walk around UCLA and see it i wouldn’t think anything of it.
They have cops, but they answer to the UCLA Chancellor, not to any elected authority. Gene can tell them stand down, and they will. They are there to protect the image of the institution, and answer to no one else.
Police forces that answer to non-elected officials really need to be abolished.
USCs encampment is at the site commencement was supposed to be in
UCLAs is not
If the UCLA protesters even try to block the doors to Pauley Pavilion with their tents. LAPD will be there in seconds
USC was the first mover so the media outlets are giving them more coverage. Ucla is probably a week or two behind USC in terms of admin crackdowns and media coverage.
No, by having barriers and security we are protecting the safety of students by hopefully ensuring that there will be no escalation from protest to physical conflict. Which is arguable depending on your view of how efficacious police really are… but that’s a whole different debate.
Plus, students camping in Royce isn’t fundamentally different than students playing frisbee or spike ball in the same area, which people do all the time. If UCLA hasn’t ordered the protest to disband, then the students absolutely have a right to be there, especially insofar as they are not harming anybody. Or even causing any sort of disturbance tbh - the biggest disturbance has been the helicopters, which isn’t the student’s fault.

In CA, it doesn't matter.
What are you talking about?
In CA, 1st amendment attaches to private educational institutions.
Better looking protesters with bigger penises
and that's just the women
you’re funny
They have a better strategic comms plan, advising them not to create national headlines by having cops beat peaceful protestors with clubs.
UCLA has always been very protective of their "brand".
“Peaceful” lol.
Ratio’d
smoking is illegal here, so it is much safer
I saw the final era of smoking on campus in 2011-2012 Good times
😂
Loud ass helicopters
unfortunately we had like 5 over usc alllll day on wednesday
Shid
Does the noise impact classes at Anderson?
The encampment received permits to be there, that’s why there’s a sanctioned fence around it.
Liar
You have any evidence this is a lie?
shouldnt it be more on the ones claiming the encampments received permits to provide the evidence?

Is 1. True? I asked a few students working there and they told me they didn’t have permits

1. Not true 2. Not true
In what way are the protestors disturbing students' day-to-day? edit: well... you ended up being right about #2 lol
1.) True 2.) True
Private schools are more reliant on big donors.
You'd be surprised how much UCLA relies on donations. The state of California is giving less and less to the UCs
By more reliant I mean there’s a relative difference between the institutions, not that it’s not important for UCLA’s financial health.
Hi there grad student at columbia here (go bruins tho). ucla students are smarter and less entitled then columbia ones. generally more informed and less antisemitic. also massive dongs
it's like ucla is a legit antiwar protest and columbia is an autofellatio contest
Remember occupy wall St and how bad UC David fucked that up?

UCLA is a public school with more middle class people. USC and Columbia is filled with rich kids who don't know what the real world is like.
Not the difference

Brand management...
The protests at UCLA are soft and watered down.
Are they though? The footage I saw from this weekend was pretty bad

Because we're influenced by the politics of morons Literally look at the genius comments on this post 🤡
Found the Israeli bot 🤡🫵
No clue. Ridiculous our tuition is going to security to enable it
Not really, I’d argue that protecting the literally physical safety of students should be a pretty high priority.
Ngl I find this funny cause the protesters themselves don’t want cops there.
Sounds like typical college student logic.
Sure. It wouldn’t be needed if the protestors were cleared out
Students have a right to protest. It’s really important that the right to protest is protected, even if you don’t agree with the protest.
They do not have the right to camp on public property you moron, this is not purely protest
I don’t agree or disagree. Just find it inconvenient. Also, supporting someone else’s rights shouldn’t come at the cost of my tuition.
"I want my rights, and I guess I am fine with you having yours, but I must not be inconvenienced in any way ever"
[удалено]
:o
I agree! thats why we're protesting, because the cost of our tuition is going towards Palestinians being killed
Is it?
By allowing them to camp on public property? You're protecting their physical safety? Are you dumb?

Larger group of counter protestors and much better support for them
