On the first day of classes at UCSB, rather than attending a lecture at the I.V. theater, UCSB graduate and undergraduate students - along with some faculty - protested outside the theater to demand cops off campus by Fall 2021. The protest comes amidst recent Black Lives Matter protests across the nation, as well as corruption and sexual assault allegations against the UCPD and former UCSB police chief James Brock. KCSB’s Aubrey Valerio and Ashley Rusch were at the event to speak with some of the students and organizers.
