Headlines in the UCLA Twitterverse: Chancellor Gene Block Sends His First Tweet

In February 2016, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block joined Twitter.

This morning, he finally sent out his very first tweet!

Hello, Twitter! Glad to join the conversation, share my priorities as UCLA chancellor and connect further with the global #BruinFamily.

— Gene Block (@UCLAchancellor) May 29, 2018

If the early responses are any indication, the “global #BruinFamily” wants him to fire Steve Alford.

Sure, some Twitter users simply welcomed him to Twitter, but the vast majority of the replies to his tweet came from individuals who want the direction of the basketball program and the athletic department changed.
