The Berkeley Mic has an article up on the SJP/Rally Comm mess. It's mostly a summary of SJP's position on the University's treatment of the mess, along with a comparison with Rally Comm. Minor note: the announcement that Rally Comm was being investigated was made to myself during an interview with Dean Kenney mostly about other things. I don't think she anticipated the imbroglio over the definition over 'investigation' and the legal weight it carries.

Here's something that surprised me: the Mic writes that the name of the student on the Conduct Panel is Colin Sueyres. His name was long kept secret for reasons I was never entirely sure of.

Colin Sueyres, the one student who sat on the panel, later wrote that sitting on the conduct committee "terrified me in a way I haven't really felt before... like, a feeling of hopelessness and a faceless fear."

Here's the odd thing: Mr. Sueyres is not only a former Daily Cal writer, he wrote about SJP/IAC clashes.

On the same day as the Israeli prime minster election, a coalition of Palestinian supporters gathered under Sather Gate yesterday to protest the checkpoints that dot Israel and the West Bank's landscape.

Echoing similar unrest thousands of miles away, a group of approximately 75 people sat directly under the gate, blocking the main entrance to campus and clashing with Israeli students and supporters of Israel.

Did the University know about this connection? If so, did they care?Email This Post!
