The "Recent history" section seems to have experienced some tendentious editing. The paragraphs about Israel-Palestine protests contain some claims not supported by their citations and some potentially misleading claims.

The current section claims that the encampment "was viewed as a “Jew Exclusion Zone” by many students on campus." Howver, the LA Times article it cites only states that 3 students called the encampment a "Jew Exclusion Zone" in a legal complaint against the school.

The section states as fact that "UCLA did not prevent the misuse of their resources that were used to deny Jewish students access to Royce Quad, a central part of UCLA's campus." However, the citation only supports that an attorney for students suing UCLA made that claim. The section also neglects to mention that in April, UCLA said the encampment was unlawful and threatened participants with suspension or expulsion. (https://dailybruin.com/2024/04/30/ucla-declares-encampment-unlawful-states-potential-consequences-for-participants) In May, UCLA shut down the encampment, and the UC system has since implemented policies banning encampments and face masks used to conceal identity. (https://ktla.com/news/local-news/ucla-campus-trashed-after-police-dismantle-encampment/; https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/aug/19/university-california-gaza-protests-encampment-face-mask-bans) These facts are not included in the section either.

Meanwhile, the section devotes one sentence to the April 30 attack by counter-protesters on the encampment. "On May 1, violent clashes were reported on the UCLA campus between pro-Palestinian protesters and groups of counter-demonstrators supporting Israel." This description casts doubt on whether the incidents occurred, is unclear about whether the clashes were isolated or coordinated, and does not clarify that the counter-demonstrators were the aggressors on that night. This last claim is supported by an article the section currently cites: https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-07-29/ucla-lawsuit-jewish-students-encampments. ("A violent mob attacked [the encampment] on April 30 amid delayed law enforcement intervention.")

This section should be reviewed and imo deleted.

P.S.: The section claims that "the anti-Israel protestors did not allow students who refused to denounce Israel onto UCLA campus grounds", but this is unsupported by the article it cites. However, this article (https://archive.is/iBDR2) supports that claim. 216.165.95.128 (talk) 19:42, 19 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I have modified the section you refer to, removing language unsupported by citation, adding citations where possible, and providing more detail (with citations) than was previously present. I have also tried to edit the portion to remove biased language. Given the relative importance and length of this section, I have also added a sub-header to separate the Israel-Palestine protest discussion from the rest of the recent history section. I believe these changes render the section higher quality, and warrant keeping the section in the article Mrc23 (talk) 08:45, 22 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Someone should add a sentence or two about the recent settlement of some of the antisemitism lawsuits for >$6 million: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/jul/29/ucla-lawsuit-settlement-jewish-students

Unfortunately, different sources have slightly different figures for the total amount. , Berkeley 2620:83:8000:2000:0:0:1:285 (talk) 18:09, 29 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
