The ASUC senate voted unanimously Wednesday night in support of an agreement between the ASUC, The Daily Californian and campus that laid out the details of the V.O.I.C.E. Initiative, a referendum to fund the independent student newspaper.

The ASUC senate will vote Wednesday night on the finalized version of an agreement clarifying the details of the V.O.I.C.E. Initiative, a referendum passed by the student body last spring to fund The Daily Californian.

The Daily Californian’s V.O.I.C.E Initiative was an issue of concern among ASUC senators at their first meeting of the semester Wednesday, with representatives raising questions about how the fees will be transferred to the newspaper and the level of transparency in the process.
