| [IsraelNationalNews] The police chief at the University of California, Los Angeles, has been reassigned following criticism over his handling of recent campus demonstrations that included a mob attacking a pro-Palestinian Arab encampment, The Associated Press reported on Wednesday. Eh? Chief John Thomas was temporarily reassigned Tuesday "pending an examination of our security processes," said Mary Osako, UCLA vice chancellor for strategic communications, in a statement released Wednesday. The Daily Bruin reported late Tuesday that Thomas said in a text to the campus newspaper, "There’s been a lot going on and, I learned late yesterday that I’m temporarily reassigned from my duties as chief." Neither Osako nor Thomas identified his reassigned role. The reassignment of Thomas follows UCLA’s May 5 announcement of the creation of a new chief safety officer position to oversee campus security operations. Sporadic disruptions continued following the dismantling of a pro-Palestinian Arab encampment and some 200 arrests on April 30.
