ALT Dear Bruin Community: At UCLA, there is always room for discourse and for passionate debate of different points of view. In fact, they are vital to institutions of higher learning. Discourse helps us question our ideas and see new perspectives, and it ultimately leads to growth. Rigorous, healthy dialogue is central to everything we do to advance knowledge. What there should never be room for is violence. No one should ever fear for their safety. Without the basic feeling of safety, humans cannot learn, teach, work and live — much less thrive and flourish. This i true no matter what group you are a member of — o which identities you hold. There is no place for violence in our Bruin community.

ALT That is why I am personally letting you know that the UCLA Office of Student Conduct has issued an interim suspension today to two registered student organizations, Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Graduate Students for Justice in Palestine (GSJP), based on its review of initial reports about the groups' involvement in an incident last week at the home of UC Regent Jay Sures.

ALT Any act of violence undermines the foundation of our university. As a citizen of the world, I know that no one can promise a society free of violence. But as your chancellor, I can commit to you that whenever an act of violence is directed against any member of the university community, UCLA will not turn a blind eye. This is a responsibility I take most seriously. Sincerely, Julio Frenk Chancellor UCLA

ALT WHAT WANTE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA WORKERS DEMAND CONTINUE THE STRIKE BY OTHER MEANS On June 7, the Orange County Superior Court issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) against UAW 4811 at the request of the University of California Board of Regents. In effect, the court has ordered workers not to strike and has prohibited labor withholding and picketing activities until June 27. This court decision circumvents the statewide ruling of California's Public Employment Relations Board (PERB), which has twice struck down the UC's attempts to declare our strike unlawful. As UCLA Law HA BY professor and labor law expert Noah Zatz has argued, the California State Legislature passed a law, the Little Norris-LaGuardia Act (California Labor Code 1138.1), to specifically limit orders like the one Orange County Superior Court Judge Randall J. Sherman granted to the UC.

ALT To OUR COLLEAGUES IN UAW 4811 To be clear, the TRO cannot and does not determine whether our strike is legal-only PERB can do that. We must not be cowed in this critical moment. To back down now is to concede to the UC Regents' vicious repression of our protests now and in the future, whether over unfair labor practices or the UC's complicity in genocide. While the ruling from Orange County is neither legally legitimate nor morally acceptable, it enables the UC to increase its retaliation against our most vulnerable members and thus necessitates that we reevaluate our tactics. By continuing the strike through working to rule, we can slow our labor to a near-standstill and prevent the UC from accessing the product of our labor they most want: student grades. We owe it to our colleagues and students in on-campus organizations such as Students for H Justice in Palestine and UC Divest, who have been leading mobilizations in solidarity with Palestine.
