Morning, Trojan.

Seven stories for today, Sept. 30

đź“Ť On campus

  1. Disaffiliated fraternities are now considered regular, private student housing, meaning the university can no longer oversee or regulate their activities and rush processes. That’s long been known to be true, but that fact and others were laid out in an updated university FAQ page about disaffiliated fraternities earlier this month. (Nina Moothedath, Lorenzo Arce and Melisa Cabello Cuahutle / Annenberg Media)

🌴 In L.A.

  1. The southern section of the California Interscholastic Federation voted to make girls flag football an official fall sport, paving the way for the broader state federation to do the same in February. The federation will do a first read on the proposal next week. (Tarek Fattal / Daily News)

  1. A Cypress woman was charged with killing a man by ramming her car into him after accusing him of trying to run over a cat. (Associated Press)

  1. The third and final suspect in the slaying of rapper PnB Rock at a South L.A. restaurant was arrested in Nevada. Freddie Lee Trone, 40, was located and arrested in Las Vegas, and is pending extradition to Los Angeles. (City News Service)

  1. The L.A. County Board of Supervisors proposed permanently adopting several pandemic-era rental assistance programs, like allowing tenants to avoid being evicted if they fall behind on about a month’s rent. (Nathan Solis / Los Angeles Times)

  1. Authorities arrested a man dubbed the “Blue Cloth Bandit,” suspected in a string of over five dozen robberies over the span of nearly two years. Charles Chukwuma Onwuemelie, 29, earned his nickname for his alleged habit of using a cloth to cover a handgun during robberies. (City News Service)

🌅 California

  1. Gov. Gavin Newsom signed two bills to incentivize converting underutilized and vacant commercial buildings into housing, in an effort to ease a statewide housing crisis. Both bills guarantee union-scale wages and promise an expedited construction process, while keeping development close to city centers to help the state meet its environmental goals and avoid sprawl.

🚨 In case you missed it

  • California will offer state IDs to immigrants in the country illegally by July, 2027. The state has long issued restricted driver’s licenses to those same immigrants, but that’s meant little for those who don’t or can’t drive. (Brittny Mejia and Cindy Carcamo / Los Angeles Times)

  • The Undergraduate Student Government is offering a free shuttle from USC to LAX over the fall recess. The estimated travel time is 30 minutes. (Undergraduate Student Government)
