ALT UC unveils steep price tag for handling this spring’s campus protests: $29 million
ALT UCLA topped all 10 campuses in costs, spending $10 million on safety and security and $400,000 for building repairs, graffiti removal and other cleanup between March 1 and June 25. The Westwood campus was particularly besieged with clashes after pro-Palestinian protesters set up an encampment on the Royce Quad on April 25 and pro-Israel supporters staged their own large rally a few days later

ALT In the days since, the University of Miami community has reacted to the ongoing violence taking place in the region. In response to the conflict, UM President Julio Frenk issued a statement in solidarity with Israel on Monday afternoon. "We stand in solidarity with the people of Israel, with all those impacted by the violence, and with all who seek peace." Frenk said. "Our hearts break for Israelis and for the Jewish state, as well as for the innocent Palestinians, Druze, Bedouins, and others who live within its borders and the region." He then went on to discuss the University's "deep ties to Israel" through alumni, students and faculty, along with his personal connection to the country. Frenk traveled to Israel in July 2023 as part of a sponsored trip through Project Interchange with UM Hillel.
