Alexandra Wallace apologizes, announces she will no longer attend UCLA
Alexandra Wallace announced she will no longer be attending UCLA in an apology letter released to the Daily Bruin on Friday. Wallace, the creator of the ““Asians in the Library” video that went viral last Sunday, released a statement through a spokesman for the Wallace family. The letter comes the day UCLA announced that it will not take action against Wallace for the video. Below is Wallace’s full letter: In an attempt to produce a humorous YouTube video, I have offended the UCLA community and the entire Asian culture. I am truly sorry for the hurtful words I said and the pain it caused to anyone who watched the video. Especially in the wake of the ongoing disaster in Japan, I would do anything to take back my insensitive words. I could write apology letters all day and night, but I know they wouldn’t erase the video from your memory, nor would they act to reverse my inappropriate action. I made a mistake. My mistake, however, has lead to the harassment of my family, the publishing of my personal information, death threats, and being ostracized from an entire community. Accordingly, for personal safety reasons, I have chosen to no longer attend classes at UCLA. Alexandra Wallace MAR 18

UPDATED: Viral YouTube video called "repugnant" by UCLA administration
[UPDATED at 3:20 p.m.: The university has confirmed that the person in the video in the Library” is Alexandra Wallace, a student at UCLA, said Robert Naples, associate vice chancellor and dean of students. Naples called the video “beyond distasteful,” saying that her comments in no way represent the views of the UCLA as a community. Naples said he personally received more than 100 e-mails of complaint from individuals all over the country, primarily from people affiliated with UCLA. The university has yet to get in contact with Wallace, but hopes to meet with her as soon as possible to determine the appropriate response, Naples said. “We’ll be taking a look at the language that she uses in the video to see if it violates any codes under the student code, perhaps regarding harassment,” Naples said. However, the student code in no way usurps the authority of the First Amendment, Naples said. A Facebook user under the name “Alexandra Wallace” posted an apology on Chancellor Gene Block’s Facebook page on Sunday night. Wallace denied that she wrote the posts, stating that she currently does not have a Facebook account. The original video was taken down, but other copies of the video have been posted under different accounts. Within three days, the video has provoked a tremendous response from the community. Hundreds of comments have been posted on Block’s Facebook page. Numerous videos have been posted on YouTube in response to her original video.] MAR 13
