Senate Shows Support for the Berkeley Student Cooperative

Housing is prohibitively expensive for many students at UC Berkeley. The Berkeley Student Cooperative is a non-profit organization that provides students with low-cost, quality, and cooperative housing for students that might not otherwise be able to afford a university education.

Late last evening, the ASUC Senate voted to pass a bill to provide funding for The Co-op Zine, a student publication of articles, fiction, poetry, and art published by members of the cooperative community at UC Berkeley. The Zine will educate both members and non-members about affordable housing issues and cooperative living in the City of Berkeley.

Earlier this year, the ASUC Senate voted to establish a new position within the ASUC—the BSC Affairs Officer. These efforts will ensure that the Berkeley Student Cooperative continues to have representation within the ASUC for many semesters to come.
