KZSU NewsUpdate for Thursday, March 26.

This week, Ken Der and Ishan Gandhi take A Deeper Look at student advocacy for campus workers with Students for Workers' Rights member Armaan Rashid '22. Take a listen as we talk about the goals of the small organization and the current projects they are engaged in. With coronavirus on the minds of many, this past Tuesday at the Bechtel International Center, health economist and Senior Fellow at Stanford's Freeman Spogli Institute Dr. Karen Eggleston gave a crash course on the background of coronavirus and the efforts in the medical field to solve the global crisis. Plus, news of the week from the Stanford Daily!

Devon Ryan of Stanford's Woods Institute for the Environment, and Sunnyvale resident (and KZSU'er!) Stephen Kuryla join Ken Der and Ishan Gandhi on the show this week to discuss the past, present, and future of the General Use Permit (GUP). The GUP was a 2.275 million-square-foot development planned by Stanford that would have included new academic and housing facilities for students, faculty, and campus workers, but was ultimately withdrawn in November 2019 by the University after numerous obstacles. Devon and Stephen talk about the complications and the road ahead for the GUP.

This week, Ken Der goes (not too far) Beyond the Bubble with Antonia Mou, Miranda Li, and Yael Sarig! They are students at Palo Alto High School and are leaders of the Palo Alto chapter of Vote16, a nationwide effort to lower the voting age to 16. Their goal for Palo Alto is to develop student participation in PAUSD School Board elections and to encourage fellow young people to explore voting as a core element of democracy. 

Also in this episode is the latest "Daily Brew" podcast from the Stanford Daily--focusing on the Carta platform--as well as a reprise our March 2019 conversation with 2019-2020 Stanford Tree Caroline Kushel. Plus, Ishan Gandhi has the news of the week!
