UCLA suspends the Students for a Democratic Society from campus activity for fifteen months after a Board of Review hearing found charges connected to tearing down a Viet Cong photograph exhibit. Dean Byron H. Atkinson confirmed the action, delayed to allow SDS response after a June hearing no‑show. The ban lasts until October 1969 and prohibits any organizational activity on campus.
