University of California accused of labor violations over handling of campus protests

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Faculty have accused the University of California system of labor violations over what they call a sweeping campaign to suppress pro-Palestinian speech and campus protests earlier this year. The Council of University of California Faculty Associations made the allegations in a complaint filed last week with the state Public Employment Relations Board.

The council said UC administrators threatened faculty for teaching about the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and launched disciplinary proceedings for those supporting on-campus student encampments. The university system has defended its actions.
