UC Berkeley One Major Step Closer To MCC

Sources have revealed that the university administration has approved, without amendment, the Memorandum Of Understanding supported by the ASUC in its last meeting of the last semester. This MOU still needs to be formally approved by 2/3 of the ASUC Senate, a difficult feat considering the contraversy over the proposed MOU last time around.

Student Action senators that I spoke with were definitely gloating over this news when I spoke with them. They see this as a victory - that the CalSERVE senators who claimed they gutted the bill will have no choice but to support the MOU in its current form. Somehow, I don't see the process going as smoothly.

My opinion - The MOU, as it stands, is definitely not as good as it could be. There is some university accountability, but not much. But will a MCC still be successful? Yes. Programming is still being done by the professionals of the university, who actually have a clue about what the center should do.Email This Post!
