Officials at the University of California at Santa Cruz have indefinitely postponed a job fair scheduled for this month, citing concerns for the safety of military recruiters who might attend and other frequent targets of student protesters, the Associated Press reported.
In recent years, Santa Cruz students have engaged in antiwar and other protests that have sometimes become unruly. University officials said they would reschedule the job fair after they devised measures that would ensure the safety of the recruiters.
A Pentagon watch list of “suspicious incidents” that became public last year revealed that government officials had deemed one antiwar protest at Santa Cruz to be a “credible threat” to national security.
