SVSH

In my opinion, the only “Roman Empire” that exists for all women is the constant fear of experiencing sexual violence and sexual harassment, or SVSH. It’s ceaseless. 

Tyler Mahomes, a campus junior studying legal studies and minoring in public policy, is running for ASUC executive vice president, or EVP. 

Campus freshman Luca Hadife is running independently for ASUC Senate on a platform of sustainability, Greek life engagement and international student representation. The foundations for his campaign stem from his background as an international student from Lebanon studying sustainable and environmental design. 

Campus sophomore José Massuh is running independently for ASUC Senate on platforms dedicated to Latine representation, Greek life representation and sexual violence and sexual harrassment, or SVSH, prevention and ASUC honesty. 

UC Berkeley sophomore and political science, psychology, and legal studies triple major Tanner Kenin announced his candidacy for ASUC Senate with a platform centered on mental wellness and safety, Greek life reform and Cal spirit improvement.

Lanah Duque, a second-year political science and media studies student, is running with Elevate Cal for ASUC Senate on the platforms of Pilipinx and greater BIPOC community resources, mental wellness, ongoing SVSH training for RSOs and increased accessibility of ASUC resources.

ASUC senators gave announcements on the various projects they are working on, some of which included adding a new mural on campus and adding additional safe and accessible infrastructure to campus. They also approved additional resolutions including mandating SVSH training for the senators.

After an arduous period of campaigning, confronting and rewriting, the Greek Opportunity Grant Reform Act was passed unanimously by the ASUC Senate at its general meeting Oct. 19.

In March 2022, the ASUC revoked a grant offering funding to campus fraternities, yet a resolution recently introduced by ASUC Senator Josh Lee would reinstate funding for the Cal Interfraternity Council, effectively overturning the March bill.
