I am responding to your message of concern regarding the arrest of a
UCLA student at Powell Library and the use of a taser by the University
of California Police Department. Rest assured this matter has the close
attention of Acting Chancellor Norman Abrams and UCPD Chief Karl Ross.
They have decided to move forward with an independent review. The
following link provides further information including statements by
Chancellor Abrams and Chief Ross:

The safety and treatment of students are of the utmost importance to
UCLA. As updated information becomes available, we will post it at
www.ucla.edu, in the "News & Notices" section of the Web site.
Feedback from students is always welcome and I want to thank you for
taking the time to express your concerns.
Sincerely,
Lawrence Lokman
Assistant Vice Chancellor, University Communications
