Facilities Use Policy 2014-The Otter RealmErin Hawkins
The AS Senate Meeting discussed a proposed Facilities Use Policy that addressed forms of expression and conduct that could disrupt the educational mission of the university. Some students were concerned that the policy limited free speech rights by prohibiting disruptive activities like protests, sit-ins, and loud demonstrations. University administrators said the policy aimed to protect students and campus activities from outside disruption, and that forms of expression would only be restricted if deemed truly disruptive. However, some students argued that disruption is sometimes necessary to raise awareness and enact change. The policy will be further discussed at the upcoming Academic Senate meeting to determine if it should be implemented or require more discussion.
This document contains several letters and articles submitted to the student newspaper "The Preface". The first letter criticizes the newspaper for including a sex advice column called "Kinsey", arguing that it provides information that is not applicable to most students and that space would be better used discussing health issues. Another letter from an alumnus reminisces about helping start the newspaper and discusses the threat of global warming. An article warns of increasing intolerance against conservative views on college campuses, providing several examples, and advocates for an "Academic Bill of Rights" to protect free expression. Finally, a letter asks for advice regarding sexual orientation and an upcoming marriage proposal, expressing attraction to both men and women.
H.E. Olubanke King-Akerele, a former Liberian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Minister of Commerce and Industry, released and held a signing ceremony for her new book "The 'Growing' of Africa's Emergent Leadership" at William V.S. Tubman University. The book documents leadership development programs in several African countries from 1992 to present and profiles emerging African leaders. Proceeds from book sales will support the Liberian Institute for Growing Patriotism club and the University's Gender and Development Center. King-Akerele donated copies of a book chapter to the University library.
The document summarizes Tubman University's reaction to a report by a Liberian journalist, George Momo, alleging that the university manipulated student government elections. The university issued a press release stating that Momo's claims were misleading and aimed at damaging the university's reputation. It clarified that no disruption of campus life occurred during the elections and the university did not interfere with the student-run election process. An investigation committee has been formed to probe concerns about the elections raised by some students. The university assured it remains focused on education and is not deterred by Momo's misinformation.

It examines what constitutes a hostile environment and lists circumstances to consider. Common reasons students give for sexual harassment are also presented. The document discusses landmark court cases around Title IX and student liability. Statistics on sexual harassment among students are provided.
The document summarizes an honors graduate program event at the University of Sydney. It provides biographies of 5 student speakers who presented on their honors thesis topics related to government and international relations. The topics included food policy in Indonesia, the impact of class on education transitions in Australia, Bolivia's decolonization process, Israeli religious settlers, and the efficacy of US drone strikes. It also provides information about the university's department of government and international relations and acknowledges contributions to the event.
The document discusses the ACLU of Washington's work to educate and empower young people on civil liberties issues. It does this through student conferences, classroom presentations, internship opportunities, and student clubs. It also produces educational materials and sponsors community events to engage youth. The goal is to inspire the next generation of civil liberties advocates and ensure rights are protected in the future.
This document outlines a student-led panel discussion on campus sexual assault, Title IX, and related legislation and policies. The panel will address new legislation that incorporates survivor and student input to better protect students, provide training and support, and increase transparency and coordination with law enforcement. It will discuss the City University of New York's adoption of a stronger sexual misconduct policy in compliance with Title IX, including an affirmative consent standard. The document also provides context on statistics of reported campus sexual offenses and the need for policies that empathize with and support survivors, rather than blame them. Recent federal and state legislative developments aimed at increasing accountability and transparency at colleges are also summarized.
The document summarizes pest control issues at York College in Queens, New York. It describes how rats have overrun parts of the campus, invading offices and classrooms. The faculty caucus has been documenting the problem in an "Ratpocalypse 2" spreadsheet. The union met with administrators to demand action. The administration developed a draft response plan but the union will monitor its implementation. The article also notes that pest problems are common across CUNY campuses and represent a public health risk, but integrated pest management systems are lacking. Two union activists, Cecelia McCall and Jasmin Smith, were honored for their work.
I broke a story about rat infestation at York College in Queens. It's one example of continued decay and disrepair at CUNY colleges. The article was cited in a union delegate assembly meeting as a reason to get a full-time employee dealing with health and safety issues, and was cited by an article in City Limits.
Adelphi University held various events during International Education Week to promote global awareness and cultural exchange. These events included lectures, a language lunch featuring international cuisine, and a panel discussion on different faiths.

Currently, over 400 international students study at Adelphi while dozens of Adelphi students study abroad each semester.
On October 1st, the Concerned Students of SUNY Canton (CSSC) held a protest outside the campus center to address racial injustice at the university. The protest was sparked by social media posts from campus police officer David Cummings that students found offensive and threatening. While President Szafran met with protestors and agreed to bring in an outside consultant, students remained concerned that the administration was not taking direct action, such as disciplining Cummings, and that students and administration were not on the same page regarding issues of racism on campus.
- A large fire destroyed 88 apartment units under construction at The Grove at Pullman, displacing many WSU students set to move in.
- Officials from Campus Crest Communities, which owns The Grove, provided little information about the fire or displaced students.
- Investigators used 3D mapping technology to create a model of the fire scene and chart potential accelerant locations identified by an arson dog. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
This resolution supports limiting mandated reporting of sexual assault disclosures at Humboldt State University to only those positions explicitly required by Title IX. It argues that designating all student employees as mandated reporters could discourage reporting and retraumatize survivors. The resolution calls on the university to cease designating all student employees as mandated reporters, provide rigorous training for explicit positions, ensure accessible and transparent resources for survivors, and support education of student rights and options after assault. It resolves to advocate this interpretation of Title IX to university and CSU administrators.
This document summarizes a research study on student demonstrations at the University of Zambia. The study aimed to identify factors that lead students to use demonstrations as a way to express grievances. A sample of 150 students was surveyed using questionnaires. The findings showed that 60.7% of respondents had participated in demonstrations before, with no significant relationship between gender and participation. There was also no relationship between academic pressure and participation, but a strong relationship was found between area of residence and participation, as well as between alcohol consumption and participation in demonstrations. The conclusions and recommendations of the study aim to help stakeholders address the issue of frequent student demonstrations at the university.
SLU Undergraduate Legal Studies Journal Spring 2015Emma Geiger
The document discusses potential legal issues if a university or college bans the anonymous social media app Yik Yak on campus. A full ban by a public institution could violate the First Amendment, while a private school is not bound by the Constitution and has more flexibility to ban the app. However, any institution banning Yik Yak has so far only made it inconvenient, not impossible, to access on campus. The document examines how public versus private status determines the different legal frameworks and protections around banning anonymous speech platforms on university networks.
This document is a ruling and order from a United States District Court case involving claims of sexual harassment and discrimination brought by Wendy Wyler, a former student at Southern Connecticut State University, against the university and certain officials. The court provides background on Wyler's allegations against her former professor David Chevan and the university's investigation and disciplinary actions in response. The defendants have moved for summary judgment arguing they were not liable under Title IX or the Equal Protection Clause. The court will grant the motion for summary judgment, dismissing the case.
Whose is business is it? Violence Against Women at the University of the West...Taitu Heron
The document discusses violence against women at the University of the West Indies campus in Jamaica. It provides statistics showing a rise in reported incidents like sexual harassment, physical assault, and domestic disputes between 2010-2012. While the university has initiatives to address gender issues, there is no centralized policy to deal with violence against women on campus. The document recommends establishing a 24-hour crisis response service to provide victim support and demonstrate the issue is being taken seriously. A shift is needed from just security measures to addressing social norms and developing a "politics of care" on campus.
The document discusses a campus climate survey conducted at the University of Alabama at Birmingham to explore students' experiences with and perceptions of power-based personal violence such as dating violence and sexual assault. Some key findings were that 18.1% of students believed they would experience violence in their lifetime, 17.7% had experienced dating violence, and 14.7% had been sexually assaulted. Many students also knew someone who had been a victim or perpetrator. The researchers suggest implementing educational programs on defining and preventing power-based violence. Collaboration with university administrators was important for collecting the data.
The landscape of global education is witnessing a remarkable transformation globally. According to UNESCO’s Higher Education Global Data report released in 2022, the number of students enrolled in higher education institutions worldwide has surged to over 235 million as of 2020.

On Wednesday, the University of California Irvine (UCI) campus became the epicenter of a heated protest
against Israel’s military actions in the Gaza Strip. Amidst the turmoil, which saw hundreds of
demonstrators erecting barricades, university officials confirmed that 47 individuals were arrested. Among
those detained were several individuals who claimed to be UCI faculty members, further intensifying the
controversy surrounding the protest.
The demonstration, which took place in and around the Physical Sciences Lecture Hall, was marked by a
significant police presence as authorities attempted to dismantle the encampment and restore order. Video
footage captured by KTTV highlighted the tense interactions between protesters and law enforcement. In
one clip, a man being led away in handcuffs asserted, “I am a faculty member at the University of
California Irvine. I’m out here supporting my students who have the right to peacefully protest.”
Faculty Members Express Solidarity with Students
2. The protest’s chaotic nature was underscored by the participation of University of California Irvine
professors, who voiced their support for the students’ cause. One tenured professor from the Global and
International Studies department was particularly vocal, decrying both Israel’s actions and the police
response to the protest. In a widely circulated video, she declared, “These young people are going to be the
ones that are going to pay the price for these horrible decisions.”
Her criticisms extended to the university administration and its handling of the situation. “Our chancellor,
who is a cruel man, decided to send thousands of dollars worth of state funding paid for by the taxpayers
into the trash,” she argued. “What job do I have if students don’t have a future?” This sentiment resonated
with many on social media, who shared the video extensively, sparking debates about academic freedom
and the role of educators in political activism.
The majority of those arrested faced charges of failure to disperse after a police order and trespassing. The
incident has brought to the forefront the tension between maintaining campus security and upholding the
rights of students and faculty to engage in protest activities.
Campus Response and Broader Implications
The aftermath of the protest saw the University of California Irvine shifting to remote operations on
Thursday, a move aimed at de-escalating the situation. The response from local government officials, such
as Irvine Mayor Farrah Khan, reflected the broader societal debate over how such demonstrations should
be handled. Mayor Khan expressed her disappointment in a statement on X, emphasizing that “peaceful
free speech protests are always responded to with violence. Taking space on campus or in a building is not
a threat to anyone.”
“University of California Irvine leadership must do everything they can to avoid creating a violent scenario
here. These are your students with zero weapons,” she added, calling for a more measured approach from
university administrators and law enforcement.
As the situation at the University of California Irvine continues to develop, the involvement of faculty
members in the protest raises significant questions about the intersection of academic roles and political
activism. The incident has prompted discussions about the responsibilities of educators to their students
and the extent to which they should engage in direct action to support their causes.
The university has yet to issue a detailed statement regarding the specific claims made by the arrested
faculty members or their future at the University of California Irvine. However, the events of this week
have undeniably sparked a broader conversation about the rights of students and faculty to protest and the
appropriate responses from institutional authorities. As the dialogue continues, it remains to be seen how
UCI and similar institutions will navigate these complex and often contentious issues.
