The Sun God Festival scheduled for this weekend at UC San Diego has been cancelled, according to school administrators. The 40-year tradition draws thousands of students for an evening of live music, art, and dancing. The announcement was made Thursday evening. "Due to ongoing protest activity adjacent to Library Walk, our campus security resources that would otherwise be available to ensure the safety and security of the people participating in Sun God must be deployed elsewhere to support the overall security of our students, faculty, staff and visitors, and ensure the continuity of operations and the fulfillment of our academic mission. Unfortunately, this means we cannot simultaneously provide the necessary security oversight for the Sun God Festival," reads a statement issued by UC San Diego.
