UC-Berkeley student gov unanimously approves resolution to fund migrant caravan

Campus Reform: The University of California Berkeley student government has resolved to financially support the Honduran migrant caravan after a four-hour meeting Wednesday evening, during which senators were told that voting against the funding would be “violent.”

The resolution passed Wednesday night was presented by the Associated Students of the University of California. Among other initiatives, the bill titled In Support of Central American Refugees in their Pursuit of Asylum proposed that the student government allocate $1500 to be donated to a non-profit organization with the intent of helping to fund the caravan.  more

  1. …senators were told that voting against the funding would be “violent.”

    I truly hate the usual uses of the word “funding” because it means taking money from people under the threat of force in order to give that money to somebody who hasn’t earned it. And in this case, THAT is the real violence.
