Good morning. It’s Tuesday, and these are the five USC, Los Angeles, and California stories you need to know for today.

1.

USC’s Department of Public Safety has been beefing up its social media presence with PSAs and occasionally painful skits. But several posts have recently attracted controversy: Photos of men being arrested on suspicion of petty crimes on campus, set to songs with mocking lyrics. “Posting that is degrading,” one student told ATVN.

2.

The majority of LA’s City Council members penned a letter to USC last month urging the school to “refrain from any further legal challenges” to an ongoing union drive by its non-tenure-track faculty. The prospective union is widely expected to win a vote-by-mail election that will begin April 24 and end May 15.

3.

The LA Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting historic buildings in LA, will honor USC with a “preservation award” for converting a former campus church into what is now the Dick Wolf Drama Center. The conservancy called the building “a striking example of adaptive reuse done right.”

4.

Eric Swalwell, who just last week was a leading candidate for California governor, resigned from Congress amid allegations that he sexually assaulted four women, the LA Times reported. Swalwell, who previously suspended his campaign, called the allegations “false” but said he must take “ownership of the mistakes I did make.”

5.

A USC MBA student who happens to be a Navy master diver helped lead the team that recovered the Artemis II astronauts off the San Diego coast. Master Chief Ryan Crider graciously shared a few never-before-seen photos with Morning, Trojan — including one of him holding an SC flag during the recovery. “It’s an incredible honor,” he said.
