The investment policy for the University of California system, including UC Davis, is set by the UC Board of Regents. The board and Office of the President issued a statement regarding student resolutions that urge the board to divest from companies doing business with Israel. The statement reiterates the board\u2019s position that this type of call to action will not be entertained.\r\n\r\n\u201cWe recognize that this is a sensitive topic for many on our campus, one that is very personal and emotional. It is for this reason that we must exercise sensitivity, restraint and respect in relation to the issue. Prior to the debate last night, those in attendance were reminded of our Principles of Community. We affirmed the right to freedom of expression, but also affirmed our commitment to the highest standards of civility and decency toward all.\r\n\r\n\u201cA renowned international university, UC Davis manages academic and research programs across the globe and is home to a community of faculty, researchers and students from everywhere in the world. We believe that our shared goals of teaching, learning and serving the needs of society, in a climate of justice marked by respect for each other, will help us build a strong community of learning and fulfill our mission of educating the leaders of tomorrow and producing and disseminating knowledge.\u201d","author":"moot point","parent_id":267224,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2015-02-01 06:03:55","modified":"2015-02-01 06:03:55","fileurl":""},{"id":267230,"heading":"Meet Azka Fayyaz, the UC Senator that called for Sharia on campus","article":"She's an MSA (Hamas on campus) operative at UC Davis.

Azka Fayyaz will be so disappointed. Looks like Hamas and Sharia will not be coming to UC Davis any time soon. \r\n\r\nToday, the six-member Court of Associated Students at U.C. Davis overturned a divestment resolution passed at U.C. Davis last month by the Student senate.\r\n\r\nThe court ruled 5-0 with one abstention in favor of Jonathan Mitchell, who had filed a case with the court contending that the Associated Students U.C. Davis had failed to adhere to its own constitution in passing the Israel divestment resolution 8-2 with two abstentions on Jan. 29.\r\n\r\nA court statement dated Feb. 19 found the ASUCD "guilty of Article IV Subsection 5 of the ASUCD Constitution, regarding [the Jan. 29 divestment resolution], which states: \u2018The senate shall, by a majority vote of the entire senate, pass legislation to (1) adopt or revise policies and regulations for the smooth and efficient operation of the ASUCD, (2) express the opinions of the ASUCD on matters concerning student welfare, and (3) take other actions necessary to promote the welfare and interests of the ASUCD membership, subject to the limitations enumerated in this constitution.'"\r\n\r\nThe court's statement added: "After much deliberation, this bench concluded that politicalized resolutions passed through senate can and must be primarily concerning student welfare."\r\nThe statement continued: "We have found [the Jan. 29 divestment resolution] to be PRIMARILY a political document and did not deal with student welfare to the extent that allowed the ASUCD Senate jurisdiction to pass. We also conclude however that senate is free to pass resolutions concerning \u2018divestment' and topics related to [the Jan. 29 resolution] so long as the focus and primary purpose is with student welfare and not a political one."","author":" Azka Fayyaz will be so disappointed.","parent_id":267224,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2015-02-20 00:38:08","modified":"2015-02-20 00:38:08","fileurl":""},{"id":267431,"heading":"muy claro","article":"I seeeeee...\r\nA majority vote is overturned because of some concern about the "welfare and interests of the ASUCD membership"\r\nvery clear. \r\nSounds like threats were made.\r\n","author":"5 dancing 'judges' -one obstaining","parent_id":267224,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2015-02-21 01:53:31","modified":"2015-02-21 01:53:31","fileurl":""},{"id":267433,"heading":"The tyranny of the majority","article":"A majority of California voters passed proposition 8, restricting Gay marriage in our state.
