UC Davis Town Hall this Friday (Feb 10)

jairusdv — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:38:25 +0000

The UC Office of the President invites the UC Davis campus community to attend a town hall meeting at the Conference Center Ballroom, on Friday, Feb. 10, 4 – 6 p.m.

UC General Counsel Charles Robinson and UC Berkeley School of Law Dean Christopher Edley, Jr. are calling on all students, staff and faculty to share their opinions and experiences on systemwide police policies and procedures, and to identify best practices in connection with protests on the UC Davis campus.

UC Davis Graduate Student Association Chair Katheryn Kolesar and ASUCD President Adam Thongsavat will serve as co-hosts for
the event.

Last November, President Mark G. Yudof appointed Robinson and Edley to lead a systemwide examination to review current policies and identify best practices in connection with protests at all 10 UC campuses.

As part of their effort, Robinson and Edley are on a listening tour. They hosted their first town hall Jan. 31 at UC Berkeley. Following the Feb. 10 event here, the final town hall is scheduled for Feb. 28 at UC Irvine.

The comments that Robinson, Edley and their review team gather at the town hall meetings will help inform a broad examination of the best practices that universities across the country have implemented to balance campus safety and security with the rights to assemble, demonstrate and engage in civil disobedience.

Following their review of UC policies, the town hall meetings and consultations with experts within and outside UC, Robinson and Edley expect to post a draft set of recommendations for comment. The team expects to forward its recommendations to Yudof in early March.
