Students engage in anti-ICE and anti-IDF protests

Last week, several student groups conducted protests against two campus events held on the same night. 

Campus organizations such as Young Democratic Socialists of America at ASU and Students for Justice in Palestine were among the groups that protested. 

The protest began outside an event that intended to host U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, held by College Republicans United. The event was canceled when ICE did not show up, and CRU decided to have their club meeting instead.

The protests then moved to another campus event, hosted by several student groups, that invited former Israeli Defense Force soldiers to speak about their experiences.

USGT holds open forum to discuss new resolutions

On Tuesday, Undergraduate Student Government Tempe hosted their usual biweekly meeting, but it had an unusual twist. 

The meeting had an abnormally high student turnout due to the resolutions that were set to be proposed. However, the resolutions were delayed due to grammatical and possible legal errors.

The Senate decided to instead hold an open forum for students to discuss their opinions on the resolutions and to give senate members a chance to respond.
