The University of California is fighting a bill proposed in the state Assembly that would request the UC to open discussions on its controversial time, place and manner policies — those that were overhauled following the 2024 Free Palestine Encampments. Assembly Bill 2551, authored by Assemblymember Sade Elhawary, would also require the CSU system to report on student code of conduct violations and disciplinary actions related to campus protests, including data regarding the disciplined students’ race and gender. “Earlier this year, young people reached out to us with stories about how they had been impacted by these really punitive policies on their campuses related to student press,” Elhawary said in regard to why she authored AB 2551. ✍️: Juliette Damian 📸: Sam Clayton . . . #ucberkeley #dailycal #berkeley #timeplacemanner #AB2551
