The Stanford student Council (GSC) unanimously approved a resolution supporting Chanel Miller in its weekly meeting Wednesday. While Miller’s resolution represented much of the meeting, the Council also addressed concerns about the Student Open center and the future of students without food.

Chanel Miller.

GSC Councillors voted unanimously for a resolution supporting Miller, who identified himself as a rape victim by former Stanford swimmer and convicted felon Brock Turner last month. The resolution was adopted after the University rejected quotes from her victim impact statement that she had proposed placing sarvye on a plaque at the scene of the attack. 

The resolution suggests that holding the plaque not only silences Miller, but betrays the voice of sexual assault victims around the world. In hand with the surviving community, the resolution also calls on the University to give Miller the freedom to choose her words. The hope is that Miller can Express her experience at will and stand as a powerful voice against rape culture on College campuses. 

These ideas were presented last week by Emma Zurkova, co-Director of the Council’s sexual violence prevention Committee.

Problems outdoor center

Another major topic on the agenda this week was the issue of students regarding the misallocation of student resources in the Student Open Center. A graduate student whose name was redacted by the GSC from the agenda because of his fear of retaliation has raised concerns about the June removal of a climbing wall on the ACSR. 

“What motivated me to come to this place was the closing of the boulderingstenstena wall, which made a lot of people very unhappy,” he said. “A lot of people disagreed with the closure of the gym, period. But beyond that, there was no request for student opinion whatsoever.” 

According to a student representative, the closure of the bouldering gym presents a troubling picture in Stanford athletics and outdoor resources. He suggests that students have been distanced from decisions that relate to the allocation of student resources. 

The Board was concerned about the student representative’s claims against the former outdoor Student Council, which it said had been overwhelmed by administrators until it no longer gave students the power to make decisions. 

A student representative questioned the strength of GSK and whether it could inspire a change in the Center’s leadership structure. The Council agreed to look into these issues. He hopes to create an infrastructure that will allow students to voice their concerns with greater impact.
