Another 40 people have been charged in connection with unrest on the UC Irvine campus in May, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Among those charged were two UCI professors, a teaching assistant and 26 students, prosecutors said.
A pro-Palestinian encampment had been largely peaceful for a few weeks, but when protesters surrounded the Physical Sciences Lecture Hall on May 15, campus police sought help from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department and Irvine police as well as other neighboring law enforcement agencies.
Hundreds of law enforcement personnel descended on the Irvine campus to break up the encampment.
