This week, in the ASUC

Newly introduced bills for this week:

A Bill In Support Of Updated ASUC By-Laws: This bill strikes Title XII from the ASUC By-Laws, which provides for the "Diversity Scholarship," which has been discontinued due to Prop 209, apparently. The ASUC sure took their its time getting around to this.

A Resolution Commemorating Grace Rualo Asuncion: Grace Asuncion is the woman murdered in Eshleman Hall in 1992, which led to security measures and such. This bill is to establish a "Grace Rualo Asuncion Memorial Day."

A Bill for an ASUC Amicus Curiae Brief in Support of the Legal Challenge to Stop the Implementation of the Anti-Affirmative Action Proposition 2 in Michigan: Well, for once, the title pretty much says it all. More on this later.

You know, it's worth noting that most of the security measures instituted in Eshleman since Grace Asuncion's death have degraded pretty badly.

There's a keycard system, but one of the doors is almost impossible to close after it's been locked at night, meaning the building is usually open all night.

The security cameras do not record anything. They only go to the booth downstairs which is only staffed a few days out of the year during finals. I know this for a fact because five years ago the Squelch was robbed and we wanted to see the security tapes, which it turned out didn't exist.

The only truly useful security measure is the elevator key system, which means you can't wander willy-nilly all over the building at night, you need a key for your floor.

It's definitely safer than it was before, but I'm not quite sure I understand the security cameras, and it's definitely not unusual to leave the building late at night to discover that a homeless person got in and took a crap in the elevator.

I suppose I didn't really manage to make much of a point here, it's just that that murder has always interested me since I usually end up working in Eshleman in the middle of the night at least a couple times a month.
 
a recording of the 2nd floor (ASUC offices) was presented during a 2004 judicial council hearing... maybe only some of them are recorded?
