The start of UC Berkley’s game against USC on Saturday afternoon was delayed due to a student protest regarding a suspended professor.
Shortly after the coin toss, protesters wearing shirts reading “Justice for Ivonne” entered the field and sat down on the field on Cal’s logo at midfield., the protestors were referencing professor Ivonne del Valle, whose ongoing suspension has reportedly become the center of a campus controversy.
Professor del Valle was suspended in the fall of 2021 due to stalking and harassing Joshua Cover, an English and Comparative Literature professor at UC Davis, and violating subsequent orders not to contact him, “I did write outside his door, ‘Here lives a pervert.’ I did that,” del Valle, who has been at Cal since 2009, told KQED. “And again, I’m not proud. If I had the opportunity to do things differently, I would do them differently.”
