Op-Eds

The AAPI Equity Budget addresses prejudices that affect hiring, training and promotions for all AAPI as a monolithic group, but does not target the individual challenges of subgroups in terms of racial violence and hate crimes.

Even with the formation of the supplemental and concentration grants with the intention of administering greater funding to schools with higher-need students, the LCFF misses the mark.

If you are a procrastinator like me and do not know where to begin, consider taking advantage of these various resources to find ways to get rid of unwanted items during your last few days in Berkeley. 

In order to achieve the best possible UC, there needs to be an understanding between stakeholders and administration, enabling them to work together and tackle the problems they face. 

I posit that students deserve better financial transparency from the ASUC, in the form of popular oversight.

The status quo of any country or state cannot be expected to improve if the voices of its people, let alone its lawmakers, are suppressed.

My recommendation to my peers is to vote for independent candidates. Vote for students who will fight for you instead of fighting for a party.

The #StopWillow movement has ignited a generation to come together to fight for a livable planet in the face of direct threats from politicians and corporations. 

We need a broad, unified response to this issue from the student body to even catch campus’s attention. This is why we are asking each and every student and ally to sign the petition demanding that UC Berkeley support students taking critically needed mental health breaks.

These individuals were born to less-than-ideal circumstances and, rather than being provided with support, were locked away with a punitive intent that rarely rehabilitates.
