Roundup of Graduate Assembly Autonomy Coverage 

The East Bay Express today compared Judicial Council proceedings involving the Graduate Assembly Referendum in this year's ASUC elections to federal politics.

Tom DeLay isn't the only one bitching about activist judges lately. UC Berkeley graduate students have been targeting the campus judiciary with similar claims following a fiasco involving this month's student government elections...

For years the grads have longed for full autonomy -- they hardly need the supervision of their younger peers, they argue, to handle their own affairs and $400,000-plus budget. They were poised to get their wish this year via an autonomy referendum on the campus ballot that was reportedly favored to win -- at least until the Judicial Council, the student equivalent of the Supreme Court, yanked the initiative off the ballot mere hours before the polls opened.
