There’s no place for violence on campus

Charlie Kirk’s death represents an attack on the open exchange of ideas that defines university life. Regardless of our political perspectives and disagreements, the use of violent means in pursuit of political ends is intolerable and condemnable. 

Our sincere condolences go out to Mr. Kirk’s family, friends and followers, including the members of the Berkeley Turning Point chapter. We have reached out to offer our support to the members of the chapter, and will remain in close communication with the group to ensure their needs are being met.
