o demand continued online learning options. UCLA will resume in-person classes Wednesday, but not everyone is satisfied with how the threat was handled.Reports about the threat appeared on social media platforms before school officials made public statements, leading students and others to criticize the university for not responding quickly.titled “UCLA puts lives in danger through failure to communicate timely amid threat.
“After these threats and problematic actions toward UCLA community members, it is reasonable to expect the university to quickly provide students some semblance of safety or initiative,” the editorial reads. “Instead, UCLA announced hours after the initial news broke that classes will be online Tuesday. Some professors even neglected to change teaching plans before the announcement, expecting students to carry on without concern.

It is impossible to justify in-person activities when the risk of a mass shooting exists,” the editorial states. “Students should not have to scour the internet for information on what is or isn’t safe during an emergency.”here’s what’s happening across California:
