West LA Campus In-Person Work/Class Resumes on Tuesday, June 25

Posted on June 24, 2024, 3:33 PM

University officials and the Department of Public Safety have been working closely with law enforcement to investigate an anonymous report of a potential threat to the University’s West LA campus as communicated in last night’s message. Despite efforts, in consultation with law enforcement and nationally recognized threat assessment experts, the University has not uncovered any information to verify the credibility of the threat.

As a result, in-person classes and work at the West LA campus will resume on Tuesday, June 25, 2024. The University will work with West LA security to ensure an appropriate level of security presence is maintained.

If material developments occur in the investigation, the University will update the community. 

Remote Classes and Work at the West LA Campus – Monday, June 24, 2024

Posted on June 24, 2024, 1:07 AM

Late this evening, the Los Angeles Police Department alerted the University of a possible threat to the West Los Angeles campus, which was reported to the department through an anonymous phone call. The caller reported seeing a social media post, which included a potential threat of violence. At this time, neither the University nor law enforcement have been able to verify the existence of this post. However, out of an abundance of caution, while the University works with law enforcement to investigate the credibility of this reported threat, on Monday, June 24, 2024, all West LA classes will be held remotely and all West LA employees should work remotely.

The University will provide additional information as the investigation proceeds.
