Academic Senate

Students lack information and guidance as grading formats change due to new policies enacted by UC Berkeley’s Academic Senate amidst the UC-wide academic worker strike.

Even after UC Berkeley’s Academic Senate enacted a contingency plan Nov. 28 to address the disruption caused by the UC-wide academic worker strike, questions surrounding assignment grading remain for faculty and students alike.

UC Berkeley will still hold final exams — albeit modified — and will not default to P/NP grading amid the ongoing UAW academic workers strike.

48,000 academic workers in the United Auto Workers union – which includes postdoctoral scholars, academic researchers, academic student employees and graduate student researchers – across the university went on strike on Monday.

Faculty and students now have to make sure they can not abstain from hearing the voice of faculty and refunding the library. 

On Nov. 5, 2009, seven of my colleagues and I brought the "Academics First!" resolution to the best-attended Academic Senate faculty meeting in years where it passed by a large margin.

For the first time in more than 50 years, UC Berkeley may open another college — one for campus’ Division of Computing, Data Science and Society. 

Amid the flurry of hellos exchanged by students and instructors is a general misconception about disability, according to campus graduate student Rosa Enriquez.

Across campus, international students are facing challenges seeing their families this winter break — challenges that most U.S. students wouldn’t face.

It’s thanks to the activism of students over the years that we have the time we do to reset, recharge and prepare for finals.
