Oscar Dubón, Jr., vice chancellor of equity and inclusion at UC Berkeley, is stepping down from his position in June of 2021.

On Wednesday, in light of vehement public criticism of the campus’s response to the allegations, Chancellor Nicholas Dirks and Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Claude Steele accepted campus professor Geoff Marcy’s resignation.

Geoffrey Marcy, a famed astronomer and campus professor who was implicated in a breach of campus sexual harassment policies in June, will leave his position as a faculty member at UC Berkeley.

The campus Black Student Union announced Monday updates regarding its list of demands to Chancellor Nicholas Dirks, originally released Feb. 13.

Campus officials introduced far-reaching plans to improve the campus climate for African American students, faculty and staff in a campus-wide email on Thursday.

The campus recently appointed UC Berkeley professor Na’ilah Nasir as the new vice chancellor for equity and inclusion after Gibor Basri — the first to hold the position — opted to step down. Nasir, who is set to begin her term Nov. 1, sat down with The Daily Californian to talk about how she plans to work with students, why leading the division of equity and inclusion is so challenging, and how her academic research will inform her new administrative position.

Na’ilah Nasir has been appointed UC Berkeley’s Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusion after the conclusion of a national search, campus officials announced Thursday.

Recently, the Graduate Student Assembly and the ASUC have addressed this issue by passing resolutions targeting faculty diversity. The assembly passed a bill in April endorsing the election of graduate students to participate in the faculty hiring process.

The UC Office of the President announced Thursday a series of measures to ensure an inclusive environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, faculty and staff across the University of California.
