The ASUC Senate met Wednesday to discuss UC Berkeley's development of People’s Park into student housing and COVID-19 guidelines and management. 

During their meeting Wednesday, ASUC officials and senators reflected on the academic stress the elections have caused for the student body.

Following UC Berkeley’s announcement of plans to hold a hybrid fall semester, some students have expressed interest in withdrawing or deferring admission while the COVID-19 pandemic continues.

The ASUC Student Advocate’s Office has received nearly 60 applications to its Cal-Pays Copay Fund, which supports students with chronic conditions and disabilities, since its launch April 3.

In a letter to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer on Thursday, three Democratic senators proposed increasing individual assistance for college students facing food insecurity.

The ASUC Elections Council and Judicial Council held virtual meetings Monday and Wednesday, respectively, to certify election results for the 2020-21 academic year.

The ASUC COVID-19 Financial Relief Committee had its first meeting Saturday to discuss its members' hopes for the committee, possible guidelines and the communities that need its help.

Next year’s executive offices will be filled by independent candidate Victoria Vera as president, current ASUC Senator Melvin Tangonan as executive vice president, current ASUC Senator Nicole Anyanwu as academic affairs vice president, current ASUC Senator Derek Imai as external affairs vice president and independent candidate Joyce Huchin as student advocate.

UC Berkeley students deserve leaders who can work to improve the status quo and quickly address emergencies. Here are the candidates who have won our vote.
