California Constitution

Berkeley residents could vote on three city measures during the midterm elections. Measures M and N are looking to pass, while Bond Measure L has seemingly failed to garner enough votes. 

An Aug. 24 Berkeley Institute of Government Studies poll found that 71% of polled voters support an amendment to the state constitution.

The California Senate passed Senate Constitutional Amendment, or SCA, 5 Wednesday, requiring two student votes on the UC Board of Regents.

What began as a letter urging the UC to cease the use of SAT and ACT scores in admissions resulted in a lawsuit that accomplished just that, and more.

If passed this November, Proposition 18 will allow 17-year-old California residents to participate in a full election cycle if they reach age 18 by the next general election.

The UC Board of Regents makes decisions that impact every UC student’s life — determining student tuition, approving campus developments, setting the UC system’s budget and more — yet most students across the system do not know who the regents are.

The UC Office of the President enacted a series of temporary emergency options that include 14 paid administrative days for employees who are quarantined or have to care for a family member diagnosed with COVID-19.

At the end of his term, former governor Jerry Brown appointed Jonathan “Jay” Sures to the UC Board of Regents — a white man to an already predominantly white male board. Gov. Gavin Newsom must not fall in the footsteps of his predecessors and appoint regents that reflect the diversity of California.

An Albany resident filed a lawsuit against San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit District and private software developer ELERTS on Monday for alleged collection of private cellphone data.
