In-person classes will resume on Monday at the University of California, Los Angeles, college officials said, after they were moved online following clashes on campus between pro-Palestinian protesters and police, AFP reports.

UCLA said on Friday it had moved classes online after a large police contingent forcibly cleared a sprawling encampment. Clashes have also broken out between the protesters and pro-Israel counter-demonstrators.

“The campus will return to regular operations (on Monday)… and plans to remain this way through the rest of the week,” read a statement posted Sunday on the university’s website.

“A law enforcement presence continues to be stationed around campus to help promote safety,” the post added.

UCLA Chancellor Gene Block said “urgent changes” were needed in the campus’ security operations, adding that a new office would lead the effort.

“It is clear that UCLA needs a unit and leader whose sole responsibility is campus safety to guide us through tense times,” he said in a statement on Sunday.
