Gender-Inclusive Housing: An Interview with Em Rademaker

If anyone has started applying for future housing, you may be seeing a new option at the bottom of the online application, one that has the option for Gender Inclusive housing. Now what that entails is being able to live with people of, well, all genders. We were able to get in touch with housing…

💥 BREAKING NEWS 💥 In an email sent at 7:40 AM on June 2, hours before the UA Board of Regents meeting to allow for public testimony regarding the potential merger of UAS, Jim Johnsen informed the UA community that he is a finalist for the position of president at the University of Wisconsin. While Johnsen is “in final discussions with the presidential search committee and the university community,” he is also guiding the UA system through a budget crisis. One of the options Johnsen has presented involves the merging of UAS into UAA and/or UAF, which could result in the closing of UAS. 📸: @eyesofnaturephotography
💥 ONLINE EXCLUSIVE 💥 As of now, the future of UAS is uncertain. The UA Board of Regents will be discussing the possibility of merging UAS with either UAA or UAF June 4 and 5. However, this "merge" could potentially mean campus closures in addition to program cuts. This idea will be proposed at the virtual meeting by President Jim Johnson to try to bring relief to the UA budget. A public testimony will be held on June 2 from 4:00-6:00pm AKST. To have your voice shared to the regents, call 1-866-726-0757 to provide your 2 minute testimony. UAS is a community, and if we do not defend our community we may see it come to an abrupt end. Your voice matters. If you haven’t previously been involved with school politics, now is the time to concern yourself if you want to continue to attend UAS. Testimonies can be emailed to ua-bor@alaska.edu before June 3. If you have questions regarding tips on testifying, please message the Whalesong on Facebook or Instagram. 📸: @eyesofnaturephotography
Join our photographer, @eyesofnaturephotography, in taking the cover photo for the next issue of the Whalesong. The idea is to have as many UAS students and faculty on Zoom as possible (camera must be on and you must show your face). A screenshot will be taken and used on the cover of our next issue. We would greatly appreciate your participation!
“Starting today, physical access to Egan Library will be restricted to library staff, and our service hours will be Monday-Friday 9am-5pm,” Information Literacy Librarian Kaia Henrickson said in a email sent to UAS faculty.

As of Dec. 18, 2019, President Donald J. Trump has become the third United States president to be impeached by the House of Representatives. So far, the process is only halfway through. Similar to other processes in the U.S. government, impeachment is a matter of checks and balances. First, the House of Representatives holds a formal inquiry to determine if there are grounds for impeachment. Next, the House judiciary committee can draft and approve said articles of impeachment. Then, these articles are sent back to the House of Representatives to be voted on. This determines whether or not the president is impeached. However, the process does not end here. The Senate acts as a courtroom in which the president is held accountable. A two-thirds majority is necessary to penalize the president, and that penalty could (but likely will not) be his ejection from office, according to the New York Times. Impeachment is not necessarily a precursor to removal from office. While Trump could effectively be removed from office, following this he would be replaced by Vice President Mike Pence. If the two-thirds vote is not upheld by the Senate, Trump will remain in office and join the history books alongside Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton; the two other presidents that were impeached but not convicted by the Senate. 📸 by Baylee Schneider
