Faculty at the University of California system have accused the university of labor violations, claiming that there was a campaign to suppress pro-Palestinian speech and campus protests. The Council of University of California Faculty Associations filed a complaint with the state Public Employment Relations Board, alleging that UC administrators threatened faculty and launched disciplinary proceedings for teaching about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and supporting on-campus student encampments. The university system defended its actions, stating that it supports free speech and lawful protests but must also ensure the safety and rights of its community members.
