At the two listening sessions Wednesday night, students expressed their desire for a chancellor who is more attentive to students’ needs.

Kena Hazelwood-Carter, a third-year doctoral student in psychology, was elected president of the Graduate Assembly on Thursday after the resignation of former president Iman Sylvain.

At a student forum Tuesday, UC Berkeley students expressed their concerns over how the next chancellor would handle the budget, campus climate and accountability.

Student representation in the search for the new UC Berkeley chancellor is becoming a larger issue as more information about Campus Day and the policies surrounding the event are released.

During its Wednesday meeting, the ASUC addressed questions of transparency and student representation in the search for UC Berkeley's next chancellor ahead of Campus Day.

The two student representatives on the chancellor search committee are seeking student opinions in their search for the next chancellor through a forum and online survey, ASUC President Will Morrow announced Wednesday.

Iman Sylvain submitted her resignation from her role as Graduate Assembly president Monday, according to an email from GA Internal Vice President Kena Hazelwood-Carter.

At their fourth meeting of the semester Wednesday night, the ASUC Senate passed all four bills put to vote after heavy deliberations on a bill concerning a controversial DeCal that was suspended, and then reinstated, in the past week.

The university announced Monday the members of the advisory committee created to select UC Berkeley’s next chancellor, prompting student representatives to advocate for greater student say in the selection process.

During its third meeting this semester, the ASUC Senate unanimously approved six of the seven proposed bills on the agenda and heard concerns from public comment over the suspension of a student-led Palestine DeCal.
