In November 2015, a number of White Student Union pages emerged on social media platforms such as Facebook, many apparently in response to a call to action by Neo-Nazi blogger Andrew Anglin of The Daily Stormer, a white supremacist website, who called for his readers to create pages for many different schools, even for colleges they do not attend.

The UC system, among other institutions, stated that the pages were not created by or on behalf of any members of the student body they claimed to represent.
