🏛️ Government
UC Davis updated its email list policy so that only active faculty or staff may serve as administrators and new mailing list requests must follow the revised guidelines.
The university will review existing lists and close those inactive or non-compliant in a phased process (for compliance).
Data from California’s Racial and Identity Profiling Act shows that Black and Latino drivers in Davis were stopped at rates more than twice those of white drivers, and many residents have experienced profiling that strains community trust.
