After a five-hour long discussion, the Associated Students of the University of California (ASUC) Senate voted to indefinitely table the resolution by a vote of 13 in favor, four against and three abstentions.
UC Berkeley’s student senate failed to pass a resolution early Thursday morning adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism, a widely used explanatory resource outlining the contours of anti-Jewish bias that treats certain criticism of Israel as antisemitic.
When one ASUC senator leaves, another must come to take their place. Sophomore Bridgette Meshkani, though, plans to do more than just be former senator Josh Lee’s replacement.
