Statement on Statements Working Group
The purpose of the Statement on Statements Working Group is to recommend guidelines for when the institutional voice of UCLA should and should not be utilized to address societal, political and public matters. The working group’s evaluation of this matter should be rooted in UCLA’s mission, and the group was asked to craft and complete their recommendation by August 30, 2024. The report included a philosophy on when the university ought to issue official public statements, and a philosophy on when the university ought to refrain from issuing official public statements.
