UC San Diego places graduation holds on arrested students

Word that seven UC San Diego seniors have had holds placed on their graduations came during a protest on campus Thursday when academic workers marched against the war in Gaza.

A spokesperson for the university confirmed the holds were ordered by the UC Board of Regents, saying in a statement, “A degree hold refers to the withholding of a student’s degree and transcripts pending the conclusion of a student conduct case. The Board of Regents and the UC President have instructed campuses to ensure that all students who are arrested on campus for violating the law must go through the applicable student conduct process. Because of student privacy laws, the university cannot comment on specific student disciplinary cases.”

Forty students and two professors were arrested on campus on May 6, out of a total of 64 arrests confirmed by the university.
