UC stands up to IslamophobiaTHE UNIVERSITY of California (UC)-Berkeley Student Senate voted to support a resolution condemning Islamophobic hate speech on March 20.
UC President Mark Yudof remains silent on the issue. In response to an inquiry from Mondoweiss, Shelly Meron, media specialist with the office of the president, wrote, "We have no comment on this." The Student Senate resolution condemns Yudof's "failure to address the matter." The author of the resolution, third-year social welfare major and Middle Eastern Muslim South Asian Coalition student senator Sadia Saifuddin said that Yudof's position is "unforgivable."
