Today, UCLA's chancellor is set to appear on Capitol Hill to address questions from lawmakers regarding the prevalent issue of anti-Semitism on the university campus. The scrutiny follows recent clashes between protesters and the LAPD at UCLA, which were captured live on television.
Chancellor Gene Block will be in the hot seat as he testifies before the House Education Committee, where he is expected to field tough inquiries about UCLA's handling of anti-Semitic incidents. The spotlight on UCLA intensified after a large group of anti-Israel demonstrators occupied the campus, leading to a confrontation that required police intervention to disperse the protesters who had set up camp on the premises.
