Unfortunately for the Seneca, as a non-recognized, discriminatory student organization it cannot be guaranteed use of classroom facilities for the panel or granted UC dollars. So the Seneca asked the UC for a $1500 grant to help offset the cost of holding the event in the Faculty Club, which is the only venue the Seneca was able to reserve for this Saturday. The Finance Committee (FiCom) of the UC recommended two days ago to grant the event a $1000 stipend, on the condition that the Seneca drop its claims as a “host?...
...chose to hold the event in the Faculty Club because it is the least expensive, most convenient off-campus space it could find for this Saturday. She explained that the group did not ask any of the co-sponsoring organizations to apply for a UC grant or to book classroom space on its behalf.

In the UC’s case, current, ongoing reforms will hopefully lead to more specific definitions about what the UC will and will not fund.

...that scientists are finally starting to map the brain with some accuracy, the challenge is figuring out what to do with that knowledge. The possibilities for applying it to the classroom, workplace and doctor's office are tantalizing. "If something is genetic, it means it must be biological. If we can figure out the biology, then we should be able to tweak the biology," says Richard Haier, a psychology professor who studies intelligence at the University of California at Irvine. Maybe Summers' failure was not one of sensitivity but one of imagination...
