Morning, Trojan.

Seven stories for today, Oct. 3

đź“Ť On campus

  1. The Office of Sustainability is launching its second annual “Green Week” Monday, which will feature bonuses like free vegan food and complimentary Metro rides for students. (Skye Lee and Shaudeh Farjami / Annenberg Media)

  1. Adding once again to a growing slate of new majors, the university last week announced a Bachelor of Fine Arts in game art (SCA) and a technical game art minor (Viterbi). The new majors will be offered starting next academic year. (Kate Stuzin / Daily Trojan)

🌴 In L.A.

  1. The crime syndicate that launched a cyberattack on the L.A. Unified School District released data that appears to contain Social Security numbers. The extent of the leak isn’t yet clear, but the release came two days before a deadline the hackers had previously given — and after the district’s superintendent publicly refused to pay any ransom. The district had earlier asserted that the hackers didn’t have access to any sensitive personal information. (City News Service)

  1. An L.A. Police Department captain who sued the department for failing to properly address the distribution of a photo of a topless woman resembling her was awarded $4 million in damages. Previously, two officers testified that they saw colleagues ogling a photo that they thought at the time depicted Capt. Lillian Carranza topless, with some making disparaging comments. (City News Service)

  1. In the latest polling, billionaire businessman Rick Caruso closed a large part of the gap between him and Rep. Karen Bass since August. Caruso still trails in double digits among the people most likely to vote, though. (Benjamin Oreskes / Los Angeles Times)
