May 9 update: The Chico State Academic Senate approved a revised draft of the ceasefire resolution today, with only three votes in opposition.
The Academic Senate at Chico State University will consider a ceasefire resolution at its May 9 meeting that also supports what it calls “First Amendment Protections” for students opposed to Israel’s war in Gaza and for Jewish students.
The meeting of the Academic Senate – a policy-setting body with 32 voting members representing the university’s various colleges – will come after what is likely to be two days of rallies this week on the lawn in front of Kendall Hall.
