UCLA Community Moving Forward With or Without Chancellor Block
October 8, 2009
UCLA Graduate, Undergraduate, Staffm and Faculty Press Conference
Daily-Bruin: Not far from where they met only two weeks ago, a group of undergraduates, graduates and union representatives congregated at 3 p.m. to hold a press conference following a long-sought-after meeting with Chancellor Gene Block.
The meeting with Block was held earlier in the day at 11 a.m. It was organized after the UC-wide walkout that occurred on the first day of school, bringing more than 400 protesters from Bruin Walk straight to the doors of Murphy. A smaller group of about 30 attended the press conference.
Miguel Lopez said that Block may or may not be attending the town hall forum, tentatively scheduled for Oct. 20, 21 or 22. He still has to confirm.
Lopez said the students, faculty and workers would continue mobilizing, “with or without Block.”
