UC students are lobbying at the California Capitol to push for a bill that would add a second student seat with voting power to the UC Board of Regents. The bill, ACA 18 or the Student Regent Empowerment Amendment, was introduced during the UC Student Association's annual lobbying day. Over 250 college students spent a day lobbying and over 100 meetings with state leaders and their staff on various issues across all UC campuses. Assemblymember Jessica Caloza, a Los Angeles Democrat, introduced the bill, stating it's time to put students first. The amendment proposes an amendment to the California Constitution that would allow for a second regent, with one representing undergraduates and the other representing graduate students. Currently, only one student regent can cast a vote.
