University of California Advises Students to ‘Leave Area’ near Anti-Israel Protest

The University of California Irvine advised students to “leave” the area and buildings near where pro-Palestinian protesters were holding their protest.

“Anyone currently in buildings in the vicinity of the protest are advised to exit buildings & leave area at this time,” the University of California wrote in a post on X. “Please disregard all previous orders to shelter in place. If able, please leave immediately & continue to avoid the protest area until further notice.”

Prior to this statement, the university had issued a statement advising students and faculty to “shelter in place.”
