Pro-Palestinian Protesters Return to SSU Having to Deal with New Campus Rules
With the start of the fall semester this week, pro-Palestinian protests have returned to the Sonoma State University campus in Rohnert Park. But, this time, demonstrators must follow a new California State University policy regarding protests. The Time, Place and Manner policy, adopted by Sonoma State one week ago, includes limits on where demonstrations can take place with and without school approval. Posters, signs, banners and chalking are no longer allowed without a university official’s written permission. And, encampments and overnight demonstrations are not allowed as well. The goal of the policy, according to CSU officials, is to “facilitate academic freedom, freedom of expression, and CSU’s educational mission while protecting the right to learn and work in a safe environment.”
Make traffic safety a priority for all with school now in session
As the school season begins, we would like to remind our community that traffic safety is everyone’s responsibility. Like a team sport, traffic safety asks every person traveling in our city, including those in a car, on a bike or scooter or on foot, to do their part. Paying attention to our surroundings and following the rules of the road ensures traffic safety.
Mistakes prove costly in Santa Rosa Academy's 42-6 loss
The Santa Rosa Academy football team lost 42-6 to Grace Brethren in their season opener at home Friday night. Grace was the first to put points on the board with a touchdown carried into the end zone by their quarterback just under seven minutes into the game. The Rangers answered two drives later with a touchdown of their own on a 41-yard reception just under a minute into the second quarter.
