I’m still digging around for new material from last semester to add to the site’s Google Map, but I promised Monday updates starting today, and so Monday updates will in fact start today.

I’ve plugged in seven new stories to the map in the last week, including three from states — Oregon, Idaho, and Virginia — that were previously unrepresented. Here’s the map, with the new stories posted below:

January 5 | Students across Oregon ended a voter-registration drive and began an organizing campaign around two state tax referenda that could mean millions of dollars in new funding for higher education.

January 4 | California’s first student protest of 2010 was took place at noon at UC Irvine, marking Irvine’s first day of classes of the Winter Quarter.

January 1 | Four Florida students, including the student government president at the InterAmerican campus of Miami-Dade College, began a 1500-mile march to Washington DC to raise support for immigration reform and the DREAM Act.

December 22 | New York City’s Yeshiva University, one of America’s oldest and respected Jewish colleges, held a forum on homosexuality and Orthodox Judaism. The forum, which was attended by hundreds, was prompted by a closeted gay student’s anonymous column in the student newspaper.

December 17 | The Wisconsin attorney general delivered an informal opinion declaring that student government bodies at the state’s public colleges and universities are subject to open-meeting and public-records laws if they exercise governance powers.

December 11 | Hundreds of students at Idaho’s Boise State University held a rally against racism, joining hands in a human chain that stretched across BSU, after bigoted flyers were circulated on campus.

December 6 | Students in Williamsburg, Virginia staged a protest against the city’s enforcement of an anti-student zoning rule that barred more than two unrelated people from living together. Days later, the city council passed a new ordinance significantly weakening the rule.
