New Slogan

Back in the day, Sovietologists used to try to parse statements by Kremlin officials to try to figure out where policy was going.

Chancellor Frenk has released a new video. (See below.) He discusses his visits to various UCLA departments and references the new antisemitism task force and a forthcoming effort to protect undocumented and international students. Finally, he adds a new slogan - "from polarization to pluralism" - which is somewhat in contradiction to "we are one UCLA." 

If we apply Sovietology to the new slogan, it could mean some kind of revival of the moribund Dialogue Across Difference program. Or not. It is likely he will attend at least some of the Regents meetings this week and perhaps say more. Or not.

You can see his remarks below:
