Student Trustee Announcements

• • Javier: Board of Trustees met on Monday, April 1, 2024. Shared a message that Amy Huang, the previous President mentioned:
    • "I just wanted to say that no matter where you all go, you are all hard workers and be successful in your respective colleges. Remember that in the long term college is just a name, and the experience is what you make of it, but celebrating to be mindful that there may be people who didn't get into the top college of Choice. Not everyone started college at UC. Berkeley or UCLA. Everyone has a different life story, and different destinations always treat each other with kindness and sensitivity and congratulations to all of that."

Public Comments 

• Matsuko: Approached by Cecilia Ji, observed that there was disrespect towards her. Including President Wong being aggressive, senators whispering among each other, senators opening their phone and being on TikTok, President Wong rolling her eyes, President Wong yelling at the witness, etc. DASG did not bother to consider Cecilia Ji's complaints into consideration or brought it up at all. To show kindness, please apologize to Ms. Cecilia Ji.
