Another ASUO senator resigns
ASUO Senate president Peter Watts announced the resignation of Senator Devin Dinihanian at the Wednesday night Senate meeting.
Dinihanian, who held the Architecture and Allied Arts seat, said in a letter that he resigned because of “current circumstances.” He apologized for not attending meetings.
There are now two open seats on the Senate. Last week, Senator Ben Lacy, who held the Arts and Letters seat, also resigned.
The Senate approved requests by the International Student Association, Students of the Indian Subcontinent and the Muslim Student Association to transfer funds between accounts within the groups’ budgets.

Churchill to host

roundtable discussion
The Wayne Morse Center for Law and Politics will host a roundtable discussion of racial issues in law enforcement tonight from 7 to 9 p.m. in the Churchill High School auditorium.
Wayne Morse Chair Charles Ogletree Jr. will give an address of race in the national criminal justice system, then moderate a roundtable-style discussion, which will address issues such as trends in incarceration, treatment options, racial profiling, reintegration for outgoing prisoners and efforts to address racism through education. The panel will be made up of local legal experts, law enforcement agents and judiciary and community groups.
“This is an opportunity for there to be discussion of race and class issues at the local level,” said Cheri Brooks, communication coordinator for the Morse Center. “Basically we’re looking at local issues that have been concerns both locally and on the national level.”
One of the main issues the panel will discuss is rehabilitation versus retribution, according to Brooks.
Churchill High School is located at West 18th Street and Bailey Hill Road in Eugene.
