“We condemn the retaliatory actions already taken by UC San Diego Administration against student protesters, including arrests, suspension and threats of suspension. This followed a week of intimidating behavior, including threats and lockouts of student spaces by administration, as documented by students and media. These threats and lockdowns make our community less, not more, safe, especially for students with lived experiences of traumatic and punitive systems. We are especially troubled by administration’s repeated turn to "safety," including language in Chancellor Khosla's May 5th email, to justify retaliation against students. His claim that encampment activities are "dangerous" and pose a safety concern stand in contrast to mainstream media descriptions of the campus protest.”
