UC Berkeley law lecturer discusses the Office of Student Conduct from Josh Wolf on Vimeo.
Angela Miller was thrown in jail and held on more than $100,000 bail after she was arrested from a crowd gathered outside UC Berkeley Chancellor Robert Birgeneau’s home. But even after the DA dropped all the charges against the eight who were arrested, the university is refusing to allow Miller to return to class.
No one has shown evidence that any of those arrested broke any laws when they joined a march on Dec. 10 that resulted in some property damage to the chancellor’s on-campus house.
But on Tuesday, the student conduct office told Miller that she had to meet with a disciplinary panel the following day about her interim suspension. She said she figured the meeting was just a formality so that they could relax her suspension before classes resume Tuesday. The university had already loosened Zachin Bowin’s suspension, the other UC Berkeley student arrested that night, and the two appear to be in the same situation.
Miller brought a fellow student to the meeting as her advisor and a few supporters stood outside the room while the panel met. After discussing her fate, the panel decided to maintain her suspension and continue to bar her from campus. The suspension order also prohibits her from speaking to any of her fellow students as well as university faculty and staff. It should be noted that university spokesperson Dan Mogoluf has said he doesn’t know of any instance in which the university actually punished a student for exercising their First Amendment right to speak to others and said the university is reviewing that provision in its boilerplate suspension order.
The student conduct panel told Miller that since she lives in a student co-op that leases its property from a university-owned building she would also need to move.
Berkeley Law School lecturer Steve Rosenbaum, who advised Bowin during his hearing, has agreed to represent Miller.
In this video taken outside of the student conduct office when Bowin appeared before a hearing, Rosenbaum — who had just been asked to leave for being “disruptive” for acting on his client’s behalf — describes his reaction to the student conduct process, which now threatens Miller future at UC Berkeley.
UC Berkeley’s conduct smacks of fascism. We must keep fighting back and showing the chancellor and administration for what they are. I’ve posted the video on my FB page and will try to get it mentioned in UPTE’s Monday Memo.

Hey all! I’m just looking for just for one competent academy in order to learn about international affairs. The college or university have to be somewhere in the usa. Someone just informed me that the Elliott College of International Affairs ought to be at least one from the better from our complete U.S.. Does any body know if the information about the college could possibly be right? It definitely would be definitely super if someone surely have a couple of helpful answers just for me.
I did’t know that.

For this day of joy, we have to dress up beautiful, a bright, oh.
n such a situation, one of the possible solutions of this dilemma is the introduction of special commission which could include representatives of public, non-profitable and non-governmental organizations, representatives of government and media, which could develop a clear strategy and standards which could limit the violence in media.
