"Some members of the campus community had received letters indicating the university had released their personal information to the Trump administration as part of ongoing federal investigations into alleged campus antisemitism, according to a student organization's post. The paper dug deeper, and published a story reporting that about 160 students, faculty and alumni had been affected. Local and national media outlets followed the story, touching off one of the biggest controversies at UC Berkeley since Trump took office for the second time."
"Unlike some student newspapers, the Daily Cal is financially and editorially independent from both the campus and student government. It officially separated from the university in 1971, after administrators fired three of its editors over an editorial inviting readers to protest at People's Park. It's also old-school, continuing to publish a weekly print edition while many student publications have either gone fully digital or relegated print to occasional special issues."
The Daily Californian, UC Berkeley's student newspaper, discovered through social media that the university had released personal information of approximately 160 students, faculty, and alumni to the Trump administration as part of federal investigations into alleged campus antisemitism. This investigative reporting became one of the biggest controversies at UC Berkeley since Trump's second term began. The Daily Californian maintains financial and editorial independence from the university and student government, having officially separated in 1971 after administrators fired three editors over a People's Park protest editorial. The publication continues publishing a weekly print edition while maintaining its status as a powerhouse among student news outlets, with a history spanning over 150 years of significant journalism and occasional controversy.
