UCSD’s protest in support of Palestine led to the arrest of sixty-four students who later faced suspension upon being released. Due to the occurring events on UCSD campus, on Monday, May 6, the Preuss Administration Team sent an alert to parents on Parent Square on the situation. Dr. Griffith received a call that Preuss is safe to remain open; however, students must stay on Preuss campus grounds and avoid going to the university’s west side.

Over the last two weeks, college students in support of Palestine have begun demanding their universities to separate themselves from any corporations that are helping with the advancement of Israel’s military efforts in Palestine. These protests have resulted in police intervention and the arrest of many students. However these consequences don’t only apply to college students but have extended to their neighboring communities.

Campus activities were in the clear to resume on Tuesday morning; however students should remain informed of new developments and cautious when visiting the campus.
