Stanford campus workers petition to end workplace harassment
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.

Service workers will bear the brunt of spring reopening, workers and advocates say
Campus workers and members of Students for Workers’ Rights (SWR) are raising the alarm that the University’s decision to bring juniors and seniors back to campus for spring quarter will put service workers’ health and safety at risk.

In the seven months since a committee of administrators from peer institutions conducted an External Review of Stanford’s Sexual Misconduct Practices, the University has made changes to incorporate reviewers’ recommendations, including establishing the Sexual Harassment/Assault Response & Education office, providing attorney services in all procedures for student complainants and elevating the Title IX coordinator role.

A year later, still no permanent Title IX coordinator at Stanford | The Stanford Daily
For over a year, Catherine Glaze has served as Stanford’s interim Title IX Coordinator, despite a statement from Vice Provost Lauren Schoenthaler in October 2019 that Glaze would only hold the position for six months. Now, survivor advocates are calling on the University to expedite the search, as they say delaying hiring of a permanent Title IX coordinator could send a message of low prioritization and instability to sexual violence survivors, potentially making them less likely to come forward.
The games we play | The Stanford Daily
Growing up, the phrase “it’s just a game” never fully made sense to me. I could apply it towards the types of games that I often played — Monopoly, hide and seek, four square — in remembering not to get too upset whenever I lost. But the real games, with college athletes tossing a basketball and my dad on a bench dressed in a suit and sneakers, I had no idea how to take lightly. Maybe this is because I’ve been taught that I shouldn’t.
Technological dependency in a post-COVID-19 society | The Stanford Daily
For reasons I can only guess, Zoom has graced me with a five-second delay from the pressing of unmute to my voice being audible to other meeting participants.

Poll observing - The Stanford Daily
We left our house in San Diego at 3:00 a.m. (“and that means a 1:45 wake-up, ladies!”) so that my seven housemates, who were all assigned to three different Las Vegas polling locations spaced 20 minutes apart, could all be on time for our 8:30 start. My roommate Charlotte and I arrived at our location, a Target parking lot, at 7:30 and quickly located the large white tent with an American flag by the entrance. While we waited, we reviewed our instructions from the DNC.
TikTok and destructive discourse | The Stanford Daily
The mom of three-turned-cooking blogger on my TikTok “For You” page (FYP) informs me that she has become an at-home master chef in the midst of quarantine. Are those crepes I see? I think about my diet of Trader Joe’s microwavable vegetarian lunches and grow self-conscious. Maybe more cooking, less “Love Island”? But wait! I, too, have picked up a quarantine hobby, even if many might consider it more of a cardinal sin: makingTikToks. I started making TikToks solely to pass time in quarantine.
