UCLA Chancellor Rebukes Law School Event Featuring ‘9/11 Mastermind’ Attorney
The UCLA chancellor has rebuked a law school event that featured an attorney described as the '9/11 mastermind'.
Los Angeles, CA, September 12, 2026 — The Chancellor of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) has issued a statement rebuking a recent event held at the UCLA School of Law. The event reportedly featured an attorney who was described as the ‘9/11 mastermind’.
Details regarding the specific date of the event, the name of the attorney involved, and the exact nature of their involvement in the ‘9/11 mastermind’ description were not immediately available. The UCLA School of Law’s hosting of the event and the subsequent rebuke from the Chancellor’s office indicate a significant institutional response to the controversial speaker or the framing of the event.
The Chancellor’s statement, which is described as a rebuke, suggests a strong disapproval of the decision to host the individual or the manner in which the event was presented to the university community and potentially the public. Such events at academic institutions can often spark debate regarding freedom of speech, academic freedom, and the university’s responsibility to its students and the broader societal implications of platforming certain individuals or viewpoints.
Further information on the specific concerns raised by the Chancellor and the university’s official stance on similar future events is anticipated. The university has not provided further comment on the matter beyond the initial rebuke.
