The campus Graduate Assembly passed a resolution this month defining access to affordable childcare as a basic student need, equivalent to food and housing security.

With the campus erupting into protests after Donald Trump’s election Tuesday night, campus leadership is calling for unity, mutual respect and solidarity as the community and country regroup after a divisive — and, for many, devastating — campaign season.

More than 100 members and supporters of the Queer Alliance Resource Center, or QARC, and bridges Multicultural Resource Center blocked Sather Gate for several hours early Friday afternoon as part of their latest protest to be relocated to different club space on campus.

Kena Hazelwood-Carter, a third-year doctoral student in psychology, was elected president of the Graduate Assembly on Thursday after the resignation of former president Iman Sylvain.

Iman Sylvain submitted her resignation from her role as Graduate Assembly president Monday, according to an email from GA Internal Vice President Kena Hazelwood-Carter.

During its Thursday meeting, the campus's Graduate Assembly held its annual elections for officer positions, during which almost every position was contested.
