Dear Community,
As the school year comes to a close, we — The Daily’s executive editing team — wanted to share a few updates, notes and reflections from this volume.

First, we are incredibly grateful to say that we will be returning next volume in the same roles we hold now. Since the start of this volume on Feb. 1, we have published 794 pieces of content. So far, a lot of our time in these roles has been spent figuring out how to ensure that every student and community member feels comfortable sharing their voice, especially during a time when we’ve noticed chilled speech has become more and more common. We plan to continue these efforts through open conversations with non-Daily community members and constant review of our own policies and practices to ensure they reflect the changing political climate.

“We were sitting in the ER just waiting and stressed because we didn’t know what was going on,” she said. “A student doctor came over and asked me if I was interested in experiencing the technology.” For more information and to read this article, check the link in bio.

On May 28, a group of about one dozen student activists hung a banner above the Bing Wing entrance of Green Library that said: “Levin and Martinez / Don’t cower to Trump / Drop the Charges / Invest in Students / Divest from Genocide.”

According to one student who organized the protest and the planning process, who spoke to The Daily on the condition of anonymity for fear of retaliation by the University, they hung the banner because the University “administration has been avoiding talking about… the genocide that is ongoing for almost 600 days now.” They also said that part of the reason included the 12 pro-Palestine facing felony charges who occupied the president’s office last June. The protestors were arraigned last Thursday. For more information and to read this article, check the link in bio.

Around 200 Stanford faculty and students gathered in White Plaza Friday in a rally to support higher education, academic research and international students.

The rally was sponsored by the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) and arose amid the Trump administration’s continued moves to cut research funding across the country and halt the enrollment of international students at Harvard. Faculty in attendance held posters with messages including “Science Not Silence,” “Even Harvard Has a Spine” and “Hands Off Our Research.” For more information and to read this article, check the link in bio.

Following the arraignment hearing of 12 pro-Palestine protesters who face felony charges for occupying Building 10 last June, approximately 200 demonstrators assembled outside the Palo Alto Courthouse on Thursday. The crowd called on Santa Clara County District Attorney (DA) Jeff Rosen to drop the felony charges against the protesters.

Judge Thang Nguyen Barrett scheduled entry of plea on July 17 for all 12 protesters, when they will plead guilty or not guilty. The defendants each waived their right to a formal reading of the arraignment. For more information and to read this article, check the link in bio.

More than 20 students and faculty are participating in a hunger strike that has been ongoing since May 12, aiming to bring attention to the risk of famine in Gaza after a 70-day Israeli blockade of humanitarian aid. On Tuesday, Vice Provost of Student Affairs (VPSA) Michele Rasmussen declined to meet with strike participants in an email sent on behalf of University president Jonathan Levin ’94 and Provost Jenny Martinez.

“There is no new ground to cover in a meeting with university leadership, so your request for further engagement on these topics as a condition of ending your hunger strike will not be granted,” Rasmussen wrote in an email sent to strike participants on Tuesday afternoon.
