The College Fix reports:
UCLA faculty collective demands campus policing be defunded, abolishedAn effort underway at UCLA led by a faculty coalition is calling for administrators to defund and abolish police activity on campus.The faculty group calls itself the “DIVEST/INVEST UCLA Faculty Collective.” Members state on their website their goal is “divestment from the police state and investing in reparative public goods towards the horizon of abolition.”The collective was launched in June after the Los Angeles Police Department used UCLA’s Jackie Robinson Stadium as a field jail for detainees from the LA-based protests and riots that engulfed the city at the time.Since then, its faculty members, alongside LA-based community organizers, have continued to lobby and pressure campus leaders to defund and abolish campus policing, including through writing letters, issuing demands, and hosting protests and other events over the last six months.“We maintain that divestment from policing is the most direct and effective way to achieve a thriving space for Black life and Black studies and a meaningful agenda for generative campus life for Black, Brown, and Indigenous people at UCLA and in Los Angeles,” the group stated in a July letter to Chancellor Gene Block.
