ALL STUDENTS AT UCSD

SUBJECT: Student Run Television SRTV)

Thursday night, a deeply offensive and hurtful program was aired on Student Run Television

SRTV), a serviceof the Associated Students. The content of this program does not represent the

views of the Associated Students, and was aired

by

KoalaTV, the television show put on by the

student organization The Koala. We condemn the actions of The Koala, its program and its

content.

The Koala was not properly authorized

to

display content on SRTV. We are in the process of

determining how the program was aired. the meantime, as authorized

by

the ASUCSD

Standing Rules, and in conjunction with our Associate Vice President

of

Student Services, I

turned off the station

to

allow for a review of its Charter. We will only open it again when

we

can be sure that such hateful content can never be ire again on our student funded TV station.

Alongside this initiative, I have frozen all student media organization funding. The Koala has

long since been a controversial publication at UC San Diego and is primarily funded by our

student fees. I do not believe we should continue funding this organization with our fees.

We must develop effective policies to ensure that our fees do not go to the support the hateful

speech that targets members ofour community. I ask that those media o r n i z ~ t i o n s that did

nothing wrong and are unfairly affected

to

be patient until we can resolve this situation and

develop new funding bylaws for our Association.

To this end, I have charged a campus-wide committee to review the funding of student media.

This committee is open to every member of the UC San Diego community - faculty, staff,

students, and whoever else feels strongly about this issue. The committee shall meet on

Thursday, at 8:00PM,

in

the 4th floor Price Center Forum. Feel free to email me at

aspresident@Ucsdedu

if

you have any questions.

The Associated Students stands in solidarity with those affected by Thursday night s program,

and we remain committed to being the voice for all UC San Diego students.

All, I know you are expecting and awaiting more information about next steps as the campus comes to grips with our

climate concerns illuminated by our BSU and other activist students. Be assured that much is going on behind the

scenes to place the campus in the best place going forward.

We’ve been working hard all week to dot the Is and cross the Ts on the administrative commitments, and that document

will become public shortly—early next week, I believe. At that time, the commitments we are responsible for will be

very clear. We are making great progress with our students who continue to assist in yield efforts and the early calling

campaign,

and

the

Black

Life

Book

has

gone

to

press.

We

have

met

with

African

American

community

leaders

to

listen to their concerns and suggestions.

Student

Affairs

will

continue

to

forge

ahead

on

additional

ideas

that

we

have

for

improving

climate,

including

student

leader

training,

intergroup

dialogue,

bystander

training,

enhanced

orientation,

more

prominent

bias

reporting,

and

greater

academic

connections,

including

the

very

real

possibility

of

a

University

wide

course.

That’s the good news. We also continue to respond to mounting pressure from a variety of sources outside the

university that threaten our ability to lead, and that has consumed and will continue to consume most of my time and

energy.

• State legislators are planning for a forum on Addressing Intolerance in Higher Education aimed specifically at us.

http://democrats.assembly.ca.gov/members/a52/News_Room/Press/20100310AD52PR01.aspx

• The speaker of the State Senate has asked for a response to a detailed set of questions about campus policies,

investigations, and sanctions regarding acts of racism and vandalism.

• The Justice Department Office of Civil Rights has initiated an inquiry.

On the other hand, conservative groups are criticizing us for our handling of the campus media and have expressed

concerns about possible violations of Prop 209. These include:

• Pacific

Legal

Foundation

• ACLU

• FIRE

•

Student

Press

Law

Center

Utsav has worked tirelessly to find a way to disestablish the AS relationship with the Koala, but a concerted effort by

other media groups and the spotlight of upcoming elections has hampered his efforts. I cannot tell you how bad a black

eye it is for the University that we do not seem to have the power to cut our ties to this body. If you have any influence

with campus media groups who fear for their continued funding, anything you can do would be valuable to reassure

them that if they care about the University, it would be helpful for them to look at the bigger picture, and that their

funding will be secure going forward once we have weathered this difficult patch.

If you have the time for a conversation over coffee, I can share with you the legally sound methods that both Dan Park,

the campus counsel, and I have advised student leaders to consider in order to discontinue student government funding

of the Koala. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on the subject.

David, we could use your help; I am as distressed as you. We’re working very closely with Campus Counsel on this one

and looking for creative solutions. It’s a political battle within the Associated Students right now and elected members

are not anxious to alienate all the other publications by the legal viewpoint neutral remedies they have. If you’ve got a

creative legal solution, we’d love to hear it. Best, Penny

Subject: Koala

Dear Vice Chancellor Rue,

Some of my colleagues have been distressed to learn that the Koala is still supported by

student fees. There seems to be a significant difference between censorship and subsidy.

There might be constitutional problems with outright censorship of discriminatory

speech or hate speech, though even this is debatable. But it seems easier to justify refusal

to subsidize discriminatory or hate speech that violates UCSD Principles of Community.

Back in 2006 Larry Alexander, who is a constitutional scholar at USD Law School, and I

held a panel discussion at the UCSD Cross‐Cultural Center on the limits of discriminatory

speech. Larry and I have very different views and disagree about the permissibility of

censoring hate speech, but we were agreed that even if hate speech cannot be censored it

does not need to be subsidized if it violates campus principles of nondiscrimination. I

Perceived Basis of Incident | Other :Description of Incident: The UCSD Koala has been known for producing hate

speech toward student demographics that are extremely triggering and

frequently make me feel unsafe on this campus. Last night they released an

article on thekoala.org that mocked students' need for safe spaces, and included

allusions to sexual violence and racist acts. Last week they also released an article

slandering, objectifying, and threatening to black women. And as a black woman

it has made me and others in my community feel threatened.

How would you like the University to respond: I would like to see UCSD dismantle

The Koala immediately. While I understand the need to protect free speech, this

institution is choosing to promote hate speech on this campus. For many many

MANY people, UCSD already feels unwelcoming. It is painful to read threats

against my body made in a school-funded newspaper. It's gross and terrifying,

and extremely bad for incoming students on tours who get handed the paper and

are taught that UCSD is a prejudiced institution from The Koala.

Perceived Basis of Incident | Other :Description of Incident: It isn't really an "incident" as it is an ongoing problem. I

am reporting the Koala, because I was told the more voices you hear from, the

better. This newspaper has offended me, and all of my teammates alike, and

anyone else I have told. I read this "satirical" newspaper and did not laugh once.

Having UCSD fund a newspaper that tells women to get fat if they don't want to

get raped, or tells black people that they could learn to swim by being "face

down in a prison shower" is a disgrace.

How would you like the University to respond: I have never been ashamed of

anything that university represents, except for this. Maybe you'd argue that the

university doesn't represent it or support it. But giving it funds is doing just that,

and us being public means the government supports it too. Pull the funds, and

make them turn to personal donations if they want to continue this nonsense.

They have the UC stamp/icon on the paper. UCSD already has a bad racial climate

and this is an obvious contributor that can be eradicated.

Other information about the Victim: I know that it is hard to get around the

freedom of speech obstacle. But saying that we cannot take away their funding is

incorrect. In my research of The Koala's history, funding was pulled from the

paper by an AS vote. Why can we not renew that vote and decide against the

funding? I think it's plausible. This paper being racist is not just an opinion, it is a

fact. Look at the history of its editors, one having infamously called "BSU and its

allies a bunch of ungrateful n***ers". Coincidence?

heterosexual people and they continue to oppress students that are already

underrepresented on this campus with continuous hate speech

How would you like the University to respond: I believe the University has a very

important role in creating a positive campus climate where all students feel

welcomed on this campus. I believe the administration needs to shut down the

Koala as they have notoriously been discriminating against minorities since their

conception. I believe that they should be held to the same standard that greek

institutions are held and if they are unable to uphold the principles of

community, they should not be a registered organization at UC San Diego.

individuals accountable. It is 2015 and this campus is for higher learning not

ignorant babbling.

Time of Incident:



Specific Location:

Type of Incident: Verbal Harassment, Written Slur / Graffiti, Hate Symbol


Perceived Basis of Incident: Race


Description of Incident: The Koala uses hate speech to marginalize certain groups

of students on campus, in their most recent issue - the black community. UCSD should be a place where students feel safe and comfortable in their learning

environment and the Koala inhibits this.

How would you like the University to respond: Defund the Koala.

I will be forwarding a number of "Bias Incident Report Forms" that we have received

regarding the Koala issue. I am at a mandatory meeting at UCI today and haven't yet responded to these.

Have you reported this incident to other UCSD offices? Yes, I called the

OFHD.


Specific Location: Technically, on and off. It is a newspaper that is

online and on campus



Perceived Basis of Incident: Color, Disability, Gender Identity, Genetic

Information, National Origin, Race, Religion, Sex, Sexual Orientation


Description of Incident: It isn't really an "incident" as it is an ongoing

problem. I am reporting the Koala, because I was told the more voices you

hear from, the better. This newspaper has offended me, and all of my

teammates alike, and anyone else I have told. I read this "satirical"newspaper and did not laugh once. Having UCSD fund a newspaper that tells

women to get fat if they don't want to get raped, or tells black people

that they could learn to swim by being "face down in a prison shower" is a

disgrace.

How would you like the University to respond: I have never been ashamed of

anything that university represents, except for this. Maybe you'd argue

that the university doesn't represent it or support it. But giving it

funds is doing just that, and us being public means the government

supports it too. Pull the funds, and make them turn to personal donations

Good evening,

It has recently come to my attention that thenewspaper/magazine/publication (??) Koala is actually funded by Associated

Students. I first encountered this publication on library walk. This guy

was handing them out and I saw many people saying no to him. I didn't know

what it was but I felt bad everyone was rejecting him and I accepted one.

I flipped through it as I walked to class and I was disgusted. The images

were graphic and inappropriate. The writing was offensive. I immediately

threw it away. Knowing that my school is funding such a heinous magazine

is not okay and I stand by my fellow students to get it off this campus.

Please please cease funding for this awful publication.

We, the UC San Diego administration, strongly denounce the Koala publication and the offensive and

hurtful language it chooses to publish. The Koala is profoundly repugnant, repulsive, attacking and

cruel. The UC San Diego administration does not provide any financial support for the Koala, and we

call on all students, faculty, staff and community members to join us in condemning this publication and

other hurtful acts.

Let’s not ditch the good ones worthy of this funding and work actively on finding ways to encourage

and help them financially. I know you are working on this.

Colleagues:

Last night, the Associated Students (AS) voted to discontinue funding publications of media

student organizations. Students on campus have expressed their disapproval of the Koala

and Associated Students (AS) funding of student organization publications.

The Campus Counsel has made it clear the university must use “viewpoint neutral” criteria in allocating resources to student organizations. AS cannot decline a request to fund an event or

publication of a particular student organization because of its viewpoint. AS did not do that last

night. AS adopted a blanket restriction on a type of student organization expenditure it will not

fund. For example, some student governments do not accept funding requests for equipment,

travel, and food. The student government at SDSU does not accept requests for publications. Last

night, AS voted to do the same.

Presently, thirteen student organizations are registered as media students organizations. The names

of these organizations are available on the student organization directory (see link below). One

organization, the Muir Quarterly, is linked to an undergraduate college, which has the option to

fund this publication. The Saltman Quarterly is linked to an academic department, and the Medical

Literature Society and Undergraduate Research Journal may be linked to departments as well. The

departments affiliated with these organizations may choose to fund these publications.
