CBS News editor-in-chief Bari Weiss pulled out of a speaking engagement at UCLA due to security concerns.
“We always follow our security team’s guidance. This situation is no different,” a CBS News spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
Weiss was slated to speak at the annual Daniel Pearl Memorial Lecture at the UCLA Burkle Center for International Relations.
The lecture honors the memory of slain Jewish journalist Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and beheaded by Pakistani jihadist terrorists in 2002.
“We are working with the university to reschedule for a different date,” the network spokesperson added.
Steve Lurie, UCLA’s Associate Vice Chancellor and Chief Safety Officer, told Fox News Digital the university had a “comprehensive security plan” in preparation for Weiss’ visit, which was initially scheduled for Feb. 27.
