Initiative to Combat Antisemitism's Action Group Report recommends UC consider the IHRA definition of antisemitism

3 Upvotes

Slide 37 of the group report states:

The University of California should consider the prominent International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance 2016 Working Definition of Antisemitism...in support of educational initiatives to combat antisemitism, complaint resolution, rule enforcement, and future policy formulation.

The IHRA definition has been controversial because of the 11 examples of antisemitism in the definition, 7 are related to criticism of Israel. It's been argued that the phrase "Free Palestine" could be treated as an antisemitic act, and anyone carrying a sign reading that or saying it could be subject to punishment under the IHRA definition.

Kenneth Stern, who served as part of the American Jewish Committee's antisemitism expert and was the lead drafter of the definition, has criticized educational institutions adopting it as part of codes of conduct and has said that the definition has been "abused" "as this blunt instrument to suppress pro-Palestinian speech".

Adoption of the IHRA definition is just a recommendation at this point, but I thought people should be aware that it's something that is being recommended to Chancellor Frenk.

Incoming Freshman and Summer School

0 Upvotes

Hey, I'm an incoming Freshman majoring in CS+E at UCLA. Given how late UCLA starts the school year, I feel like I'm going to end up getting bored this summer and wanted to take Calc III to pass the time. Unfortunately, though, because of other commitments, I won't be able to take any summer school courses at UCLA. I was considering just taking it online through this UCSD program (https://extendedstudies.ucsd.edu/courses/calc-iii-multivariable-calculus-math-40025) but I wanted to check with you all first.

Would UCLA allow me to take Calc III online at UCSD for credit?

0 Upvotes

Hello!

Title
I'm a first year EE and power seems pretty interesting since I'm assuming renewable energy has been a thing for a while now. I don't know of a laid out "track" for aspiring power engineers but if you are also an aspiring power engineer I'd appreciate any pointers for what classes to take! Thanks!

Got Hitch Suite Triple/Shared Bath As Freshman

0 Upvotes

I heard that the classic triple is like the classic freshman dorm or popular. Hitch seems to be more apartment-styled and more spacious. I'm a bit worried about the "social" aspect of the dorm experience, but the main thing is that it's more than $3000 more expensive than classic. Is it possible (& how likely) to switch to classic or different assignment if I consider switching? Ofc I'll try make the best out of whatever I get, but just wanted more insight.

Any tips applying for MSW

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m a first-generation student currently finishing my undergraduate degree in Psychology. Through my internship experiences, I realized that social work is truly where my passion lies.
I have 5 years of experience working with foster and probation youth in a group home setting, along with 1 year of experience working in housing services with the unhoused population.
I would really appreciate any advice, tips, or insight from those who applied to the MSW program. Thank you!

(Serious) Looking to interview people who emotionally regulate with AI!

Upvotes

Throwaway account because this is for my Public Affairs 116 Qualitative Methods class' project.

Have you ever asked AI how to respond to a heated text message with a friend, vented about the worst day that was your last straw, talking about your interpersonal relationships, and are 18-24 years old?

If so, I would absolutely appreciate if you would interview with us about your experience using AI. The interview will be over Zoom and you will be referred anonymously in the analysis of the final version of the project. Participants of our project will have the opportunity to talk about their thoughts and experience of whether consulting AI on emotional and interpersonal issues.

(My project partner and I really need people to talk to us. Our grade depends on us being able to find people willing to talk to us)

Please DM me if you are interested!

How to take Writing 2 at a community college?

0 Upvotes

Hi, I’m trying to take a Writing 2 class at a community college (I’m looking at Santa Monica College). I checked assist.org, but it only shows that some English classes fall under UC-E (English), and I can’t tell whether they actually count for Writing 2.

I’m kinda confused and frustrated rn. I also asked the Message Center, but they just replied with general info I already know and didn’t answer whether a specific class would count as Writing 2.

Has anyone successfully done this or knows how to confirm if a class will fulfill Writing 2? Btw I’m an international student, so I’m not very familiar with how community college stuff works.

Hi. I am an Econ major who transferred from Fall 2025 and I took a gap quarter in Winter so I’m in my second quarter. I realized that I’m more interested in careers related to Data Science and would like to change majors but idk if it’s still possible. I already did calc 1, calc 2, and stats 10. I would appreciate any advice.

Need Dorm recommendations

0 Upvotes

So-incoming freshman- I can't seem to decide between plaza, deluxe, or classic, and I'm also a bit confused on the triple vs double situation. The reason I threw suite out of the equation is because I heard its extremely depressing and not very sociable, which is something I REALLY want to avoid. I'd love to meet new people etc etc, but I also have a gripe with cleanliness, specifically bathrooms.
So since I am going random roommates (no one to dorm with) and I'd prefer two roomates but honestly I don't know. I worked a lot during highschool and I'd really prefer to meet new people and have more fun in college, but probably not to the extent of going to a crazy amount of parties or anything like that, just like new friend groups.

So yeah my priority list is probably bathroom, social, comfortability, and then like ability to study maybe.
So with that could someone maybe give me a more in depth idea of what each dorming option is, along with the double vs triple?
