Stanford campus workers are calling for an end to workplace harassment. In a petition sent to University administrators and the custodial company UG2 (the company that contracts many campus workers) on April 13, workers referenced instances of sexual harassment, “unreasonable, excessive work assignments” and “discriminating and intimidating janitors.” They also wrote that UG2 has repeatedly ignored their previous calls for actions to stop the harassment.

Five current undergraduate senators — Alain Perez ’23, Gabby Crooks ’23, Michaela Phan ’23, Emily Nichols ’23 and Sarah Saboorian ’22 — hope to serve once again in the Associated Students of Stanford University (ASSU) Undergraduate Senate. Last year, they ran on a range of campaign promises, including commitments to support marginalized communities, improve mental health resources and combat sexual assault on campus.

YWCA Golden Gate Silicon Valley (YWCA), a nonprofit organization committed to empowering women, has opened a location on Stanford’s campus this past winter quarter that will provide advocacy services to sexual assault survivors. Student activists have advocated for YWCA services at the University over the past two years and hope the YWCA will be able to provide resources student survivors trust. The location opened in September, but became fully operational winter quarter.
