Classes have been canceled at the University of California, Los Angeles.

UCLA announced the class cancelation on the social media site X, stating: “Due to the distress caused by the violence that took place on Royce Quad late last night and early this morning, all classes are canceled today. Please avoid the Royce Quad area.”

The clashes at UCLA took place around a tent encampment built by pro-Palestinian protesters. Counter-protesters tried to pull down a line of parade barricades, plywood and wooden pallets at the edge of the camp.
