UCLA has canceled in-person classes after a former lecturer sent an 800-page manifesto and video referencing a 'mass shooting'

The University of California, Los Angeles has canceled in-person classes Tuesday after a former lecturer allegedly sent “specific threats” to members of the philosophy department, including an 800-page manifesto and a video referencing a “mass shooting.” Thereports students were notified late Monday by email that classes would be held remotely “out of an abundance of caution.

” The move was in response to messages sent by Matthew Harris, a former lecturer and postdoctoral fellow who was put on leave last year following allegations he’d sent pornographic content to a student. Harris allegedly sent “a video entitled ‘UCLA Philosophy Mass Shooting’ and an 800-page manifesto with specific threats towards some members of our department,” one philosophy director said in an email to students.
