"UC San Diego students protest ICE and mass deportations, demand university action"

"Around 200 UC San Diego students gathered on Feb. 19 to protest the federal government’s mass deportation policies, criticizing the University’s response. Specifically, protestors raised concerns about the safety of undocumented students and their families in the midst of increased immigration enforcement presence in San Diego, and UCSD’s continued ties to corporations that profit from immigration detention and reinforcement.

Organized by the Students’ Civil Liberties Union, alongside Latino student organizations like Movimiento Estudiantil Chicanx por Activismo and the Latinx Student Association, the demonstration called for greater institutional support for undocumented students and UCSD’s divestment from companies linked to immigration enforcement."

"TAC will receive a portion of the funds collected from the Student Transportation Fee to allocate annually. Projects they are considering include enforcing the safety of current public transit routes and advocating for a fair and accessible transportation system for students through parking structures and other projects like carpooling services and emergency rides. STAC plans to release a survey for students to voice their opinions on current transportation services."

"The special election for the Student Transportation Fee referendum begins today. From Jan. 27 to Jan. 31, students can vote for or against the continuation and expansion of UC San Diego’s U-Pass program, which provides students free access to the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System. In order to be considered a valid vote, a minimum of 20% of eligible students must vote on the ballot— a number the Associated Student Council currently predicts to be over 7,000 voters. Should the measure reach that threshold, a simple majority vote would then determine the outcome."

The "the" in post-menopausal and the phrase "post-menopausal" make my blood pressure rise every time I hear this baleful phrase of #JDVance (I do wonder what his mother-in-law thinks, a successful scientist and administrator at #UCSD), but/and this meme is so good: "The whole purpose of the post-menopausal woman is to prevent the rise of generative AI."
