If a tree falls in the forest and no one hears it...

Can't hear you!

As a test, I tried tonight (Tuesday) to see if the chancellor's statement on the current war between Israel and Gaza could be easily located by an outsider who might be looking to find the official UCLA response. (We posted it earlier today after wondering whether there would be a response the day before.) 

I checked the chancellor's X (Twitter) account as well as the UCLA X account.* I poked around on the UCLA.edu website under such obvious places as "news releases."** Didn't find it. I'm not saying it isn't there somewhere. I am saying it seems to be well hidden from external view.

In contrast, I did find President Drake's statement on the UC website after a bit of poking.***

And I was able to find statements from other universities, notably from Harvard which was having a bit of a scandal after a Twitter blow-up caused by the responses of some student groups.****

Just an observation... Maybe it will be easily online tomorrow. We'll see.
