Hundreds of UC Berkeley students, faculty and community members marched through the city and campus Monday as part of a systemwide day of action, protesting the recent vote by the UC regents to pass a controversial tuition hike policy.

Reports of sexual assault increased from 2012 to 2013 at UC Berkeley, in line with a relatively upward trend of reporting over the last seven years.

On Monday, Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law a bill requiring mandated campus officials to immediately share reports of certain violent crimes with local police departments unless the victim requests otherwise.

Departments across campus are constantly planning and preparing for the next big disaster. Potential disasters the office would manage include earthquakes, utility failures and active shooters on campus — some of which devastated sister campuses this summer.

On some nights, at 5:59 a.m., homeless individuals are known to congregate around the border of People’s Park, waiting out that last minute until the curfew is lifted when they can re-enter the campus-owned grounds they call home.

A former UC Berkeley administrator with a prior felony conviction was fired from her position in April and charged with grand theft and embezzlement last week.

A bill that would alter reporting protocols for campus officials and potentially affect survivors of sexual assault and violent crime was passed unanimously Wednesday in the California State Assembly.

Police received a report of a man with a firearm going into the Valley Life Sciences Building Wednesday afternoon, but later discovered that researchers were packing up their airsoft guns for a research trip.

A hiker discovered the body of a deceased male in a rocky area off Grizzly Peak Boulevard Sunday afternoon.

A female UC Berkeley student was the victim of sexual battery Monday night outside of People’s Park on Dwight Way.
