"content": "\u003cp>Brian McDonald was looking for a new home several years ago in the wealthy city of Pasadena. He says when he told the real estate agent that he had five school-age children, she told him not to enroll in Pasadena's public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was pretty surprising to McDonald. He's the school district's superintendent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Her recommendation was Arcadia, or even Glendora,\" two nearby cities, he says. \"She thought that it was OK to tell me that I should put my kids in another district. I mean, I couldn't believe it. My jaw dropped.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A contentious \u003ca href=\"https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/427/424/case.html\">desegregation order\u003c/a> decades ago has helped turn Pasadena into a city with big divisions in education. Nearly half of the area's kids attend private school or a school outside the district -- more than any district its size in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The National Association of Realtors advises agents not to tell clients whether schools are good or bad. That may steer them away or toward a particular community -- which could be a violation of federal fair housing laws. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in McDonald's view, the agent's recommendation is part of an outdated view that the city's public schools are poor quality -- a point of view that persists today.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'She thought that it was OK to tell me that I should put my kids in another district. I mean, I couldn't believe it. My jaw dropped.'\u003ccite>Pasadena Unified School District Superintendent Brian McDonald\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Just ask Lauren Lofton. When considering a move to Pasadena, she looked into the public schools for her 4-year-old daughter. Despite home price tags near or above $1 million, Lofton found low standardized test scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It doesn't make sense,\" she says. \"You can have these great homes, great values, great for raising families, but everyone is saying you have to go to private school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many of those recommendations came from friends and family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think if your house is worth a lot of money in good neighborhoods, you should be able to go to the neighborhood school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loften's agent, Del Lile, grew up here, but moved away when he had kids, in part because of poor school reputations. That was years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lile says relying on hearsay, or doing a quick internet search, doesn't tell you the whole picture about a school district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So often, people just look at a score from \u003ca href=\"https://www.greatschools.org/\">GreatSchools\u003c/a> or whatever,\" says Lile. \"And that really doesn't tell the story.\" He says those numbers can be skewed for a variety of reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When working with Loften, he made sure to include information about Pasadena's bilingual programs, new magnet programs and its growing college admissions at one of the high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lile says his opinion on the district turned around after he joined something called the Realtor Initiative, a program created a couple of years ago by the school district's independent fundraising foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of the program is to give real estate agents up-to-date information about new programs and results in the district — and to ask them what schools can do to attract families like the Loftons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RrQAuIyoL5lBEnChG7uHnJA2xA4vqheu\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, Pasadena graduation rates have been improving faster than the state average and enrollment isn't dropping as fast as it was four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School officials met with hundreds of agents at their offices, asked them to volunteer in the schools and pulled the curtain back on decision-making in the school district. There's even a monthly \u003cem>Lunch with the Superintendent\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the city as a whole, Pasadena's public school population is predominately black, Latino and low income. Superintendent McDonald says the program \"is a part of our desire to attract a more diverse group of kids into our school system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By diverse, he means the type of families who have turned away from Pasadena schools for decades: professionals, white, Asian families. Those student populations have been growing in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McDonald says there's another sign that the initiative is working: He's looking for a new home — and this time, the real estate agent recommended Pasadena public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 Southern California Public Radio.

When considering a move to Pasadena, she looked into the public schools for her 4-year-old daughter. Despite home price tags near or above $1 million, Lofton found low standardized test scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It doesn't make sense,\" she says. \"You can have these great homes, great values, great for raising families, but everyone is saying you have to go to private school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many of those recommendations came from friends and family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think if your house is worth a lot of money in good neighborhoods, you should be able to go to the neighborhood school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Loften's agent, Del Lile, grew up here, but moved away when he had kids, in part because of poor school reputations. That was years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lile says relying on hearsay, or doing a quick internet search, doesn't tell you the whole picture about a school district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So often, people just look at a score from \u003ca href=\"https://www.greatschools.org/\">GreatSchools\u003c/a> or whatever,\" says Lile. \"And that really doesn't tell the story.\" He says those numbers can be skewed for a variety of reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When working with Loften, he made sure to include information about Pasadena's bilingual programs, new magnet programs and its growing college admissions at one of the high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lile says his opinion on the district turned around after he joined something called the Realtor Initiative, a program created a couple of years ago by the school district's independent fundraising foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The goal of the program is to give real estate agents up-to-date information about new programs and results in the district — and to ask them what schools can do to attract families like the Loftons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, Pasadena graduation rates have been improving faster than the state average and enrollment isn't dropping as fast as it was four years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School officials met with hundreds of agents at their offices, asked them to volunteer in the schools and pulled the curtain back on decision-making in the school district. There's even a monthly \u003cem>Lunch with the Superintendent\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike the city as a whole, Pasadena's public school population is predominately black, Latino and low income. Superintendent McDonald says the program \"is a part of our desire to attract a more diverse group of kids into our school system.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By diverse, he means the type of families who have turned away from Pasadena schools for decades: professionals, white, Asian families. Those student populations have been growing in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McDonald says there's another sign that the initiative is working: He's looking for a new home — and this time, the real estate agent recommended Pasadena public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 Southern California Public Radio.

Juan Vargas, D-Calif., said in an email Monday to KPBS. \"I am requesting an immediate response from the Department of Homeland Security to ensure that proper training is put in place for Customs and Border Protection agents.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vargas' statement is the \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video-shows-border-officers-appeared-encourage-permit-teen/story?id=48903893\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest in a string of similar calls\u003c/a> for action from members of Congress after video showing the events leading up to the death of Cruz Velazquez Acevedo \u003ca href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/video-shows-border-officers-appeared-encourage-permit-teen/story?id=48903893\">aired for the first time\u003c/a> on ABC News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the video, two customs officers appear to be gesturing at Velazquez to drink from the bottles of liquid methamphetamine and laughing when he does. According to court records, the officers asked the boy to drink the liquid to prove it was not meth. The boy claimed the bottles contained apple juice, but the officers were suspicious because he seemed nervous. Velazquez, who was 16 years old, died later that day from the overdose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gene Iredale, the attorney for the boy's family, said the customs officers broke protocol because they should have simply tested the liquid with kits they have on hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

That suggests to me that training and appropriate screening before people are hired needs to be done,\" he said. \"No discipline of any kind was imposed (on the officers) — not a day off work, not a penny less in salary, not even a letter of reprimand in the file.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Customs and Border Protection confirmed that the agency did not discipline the officers involved in the incident. The U.S. gave the family a $1 million settlement earlier this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a request for comment regarding the calls for action from members of Congress, Customs and Border Protection emailed KPBS the following statement:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"U.S. Customs and Border Protection conducted an investigation following the incident at the San Ysidro port of entry in November 2013. Additionally, the San Diego Police Department conducted an in-custody death investigation. On January 24, 2014, the SDPD provided a copy of their investigation to the U.S. Attorney's Office, which declined to file charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"CBP's Office of Professional Responsibility continued to review the case, spending nearly a year that included a national-level review board, which in September 2014 also determined that no further action was warranted and the officers involved were not disciplined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"CBP Officers are our front line representatives protecting our country. In the San Diego Field Office alone, our officers encountered more than 75 million people last fiscal year. In spite of those vast numbers of daily interactions, our officers work hard to do the right thing every day, ensuring that they allow legitimate travelers into the U.S. while stopping illegal activity as well as working to ensure the well-being of the travelers that we are encounter.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>The Department of Homeland Security \u003ca href=\"http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/19/dhs-kelly-proposes-hiring-more-immigration-officers-fast-tracking-deportations.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plans to hire thousands of new officers\u003c/a> in the coming months. The attorney, Iredale, said this makes it all the more urgent for the agency to implement new training measures to make sure this kind of thing doesn't happen again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This was a 16-year-old boy who was doing something admittedly wrong, who was doing something for which he deserved possibly to be punished, certainly to be brought before the court and called upon to answer for his conduct. But instead these agents decided to have a little fun at his expense and take the risk that they imposed on him, that he would die — which is exactly what happened,\" Iredale said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2017 KPBS Radio.

The bank outlined the scope of the problems and its efforts to resolve them \u003ca href=\"https://newsroom.wf.com/press-release/consumer-lending/wells-fargo-announces-plan-remediate-customers-auto-insurance\">in a statement\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right after Feifer's car got repo'd, Wells Fargo told him he was marked as delinquent for not paying this insurance — which he didn't want or need or even know about. \"They said, 'Well, you owe $1,500,' \" he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo is among NPR's financial supporters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo has been trying to repair its image in the wake of a massive consumer banking scandal.

They were just as confused as I was.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer says the branch employees were trying to be helpful. They called up the Wells Fargo department for him that deals with car repossessions to find out what was going on. They kept getting put on hold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were probably on hold for a total of 2½ hours while I was in there,\" Feifer says. \"I literally spent the whole day\" at the branch. He says the employees were getting frustrated, too. \"They're like, 'This is ridiculous. You shouldn't be on hold for this long.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Feifer didn't know was that Wells Fargo had already been doing an internal investigation into complaints from lots of customers for the same insurance mix-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer was eventually told to call back several days later. Then he was told there was no record of his prior calls from the branch. He said the person he spoke to on the phone wouldn't let him talk to a supervisor. \"She was rude to me, talking over me. I felt like she wasn't willing to hear anything I had to say,\" Feifer says. He says the Wells Fargo representative just kept telling him he had to pay the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MODxKyPoGaKNEetxMlO99Uj0fXPxmGiG\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Feifer was told that the clock was ticking and his car would be auctioned off two weeks from the day it was repossessed. So, after much haggling with the bank, he paid about $600 to get his car back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer said he figured this was just some freak mistake. But when he heard this insurance issue affected hundreds of thousands of customers, \"I was blown away,\" he says. \"I wasn't alone in it and I felt like they're preying on everybody, taking people's money. I felt like they're crooks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo says this was not a case of trying to improperly profit at customers' expense, but rather just an embarrassing breakdown in processes and internal controls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We take full responsibility for our failure to appropriately manage the CPI program and are extremely sorry for any harm this caused our customers, who expect and deserve better from us,\" Franklin Codel, head of Wells Fargo Consumer Lending, said in a statement. \"Upon our discovery, we acted swiftly to discontinue the program and immediately develop a plan to make impacted customers whole.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"RZ2Vu2VV8PHzku9ab0JRwMNCOmB6UZSx\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, though, say this latest debacle shows that the bank still has serious and systemic problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we are seeing here is a colossal failure of management on behalf of Wells Fargo,\" says Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that once again vast numbers of customers are getting products they don't want pushed on them without their knowledge. And on top of that, he says, when customers complained, it took too long for Wells Fargo management to figure out the problem and fix it. \"They are not investing the necessary resources for consumers who have problems to service those customers who they talk about in glowing terms,\" Rheingold says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going forward, Wells Fargo is setting aside about $80 million for remediation and says customers will start getting letters and refund checks later this month. Class-action lawsuits are being filed on behalf of customers. The bank has no comment on those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But a spokesperson says Wells Fargo is very sorry for Feifer's experience and that he will be part of the remediation effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2017 NPR.

You shouldn't be on hold for this long.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What Feifer didn't know was that Wells Fargo had already been doing an internal investigation into complaints from lots of customers for the same insurance mix-up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer was eventually told to call back several days later. Then he was told there was no record of his prior calls from the branch. He said the person he spoke to on the phone wouldn't let him talk to a supervisor. \"She was rude to me, talking over me. I felt like she wasn't willing to hear anything I had to say,\" Feifer says. He says the Wells Fargo representative just kept telling him he had to pay the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Feifer was told that the clock was ticking and his car would be auctioned off two weeks from the day it was repossessed. So, after much haggling with the bank, he paid about $600 to get his car back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feifer said he figured this was just some freak mistake. But when he heard this insurance issue affected hundreds of thousands of customers, \"I was blown away,\" he says. \"I wasn't alone in it and I felt like they're preying on everybody, taking people's money. I felt like they're crooks.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wells Fargo says this was not a case of trying to improperly profit at customers' expense, but rather just an embarrassing breakdown in processes and internal controls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We take full responsibility for our failure to appropriately manage the CPI program and are extremely sorry for any harm this caused our customers, who expect and deserve better from us,\" Franklin Codel, head of Wells Fargo Consumer Lending, said in a statement. \"Upon our discovery, we acted swiftly to discontinue the program and immediately develop a plan to make impacted customers whole.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, though, say this latest debacle shows that the bank still has serious and systemic problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What we are seeing here is a colossal failure of management on behalf of Wells Fargo,\" says Ira Rheingold, executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says that once again vast numbers of customers are getting products they don't want pushed on them without their knowledge. And on top of that, he says, when customers complained, it took too long for Wells Fargo management to figure out the problem and fix it. \"They are not investing the necessary resources for consumers who have problems to service those customers who they talk about in glowing terms,\" Rheingold says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Going forward, Wells Fargo is setting aside about $80 million for remediation and says customers will start getting letters and refund checks later this month. Class-action lawsuits are being filed on behalf of customers. The bank has no comment on those.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>In 1872, 13-year-old Hong Yen Chang came to the U.S. to be groomed as a diplomat. He earned degrees from Yale University and Columbia University's law school, and passed the bar exam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He became the first Chinese-American lawyer in the U.S. in 1888, when he was admitted to the New York bar. But not all states were as welcoming. When Chang applied for a California law license in 1892, the state's Supreme Court denied his application citing bar association rules, which precluded noncitizens from joining. Chang was unable to become a citizen because of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a century later, Chang's descendants petitioned for their relative to be granted posthumous bar admission and brought the case before the California Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, the California Supreme Court reversed the ruling. \"Even if we cannot undo history, we can acknowledge it and, in doing so, accord a full measure of recognition to Chang's path-breaking efforts to become the first lawyer of Chinese descent in the United States,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-chinese-lawyer-20150316-story.html\">the judges wrote\u003c/a> in their decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That case got me thinking about the fact that Asian-Americans have been formally excluded from the legal profession as Chang was, and of course, [with] all the informal barriers,\" says California Supreme Court justice Goodwin Liu, who reviewed the case. He said he realized he hadn't seen a comprehensive study of how Asian-Americans came into the legal profession — so he took it upon himself to lead one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"http://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/tcr/2017/08/GordonLiu2way.mp3\" Image=\"https://u.s.kqed.net/2017/08/01/Liu.jpg\" Title=\"Goodwin Liu on What's Keeping Asian-Americans From Ascending the Legal Ranks\" program=\"The California Report\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the study, Liu shows that though Asian-Americans are the fastest-growing minority group in the legal field, there's still a stark lack of Asian-American lawyers in top positions in this country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, 10 percent of graduates at the top-30 law schools were Asian-American, according to the study. Yet they comprised only about 6 percent of federal law clerks and 4 percent of state law clerks. Compare that to white students, and you'll see a striking contrast: 58 percent of students from top-30 schools were white, but still landed 82 percent of all federal clerkships and 80 percent of all state clerkships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu and his co-researchers also found that while Asian-Americans comprise 5 percent of lawyers in the U.S. and 7 percent of law students, only 3 percent of federal judges are Asian-American, and three out of 94 U.S. attorneys last year were Asian-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study noted that some obstacles Asian-Americans face include a lack of access to mentors, as well as stereotypes of Asians as being unable to assimilate or socially awkward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whereas Asian Americans are regarded as having the 'hard skills' required for lawyerly competence, they are regarded as lacking many important 'soft skills,' \" the researchers wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study also pointed out that there's a dearth of Asian-American lawyers in public service roles:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"It is notable that few Asian Americans appear motivated to pursue law in order to gain a pathway into government or politics. ... Greater penetration into these public leadership roles is critical if the increasing number of Asian American attorneys is to translate into increasing influence of Asian Americans in the legal profession and throughout society. A major challenge is to encourage Asian American lawyers to pursue public service roles and to eliminate barriers for those who do.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When asked to break out the data further by ethnicity, Xiaonan Hu, one of the researchers, told NPR that she noticed Filipino-American and Indian-American respondents were more likely to say they enrolled in law school to work in government or politics than, say, Japanese-American or Korean-American respondents.

He earned degrees from Yale University and Columbia University's law school, and passed the bar exam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He became the first Chinese-American lawyer in the U.S. in 1888, when he was admitted to the New York bar. But not all states were as welcoming. When Chang applied for a California law license in 1892, the state's Supreme Court denied his application citing bar association rules, which precluded noncitizens from joining. Chang was unable to become a citizen because of the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a century later, Chang's descendants petitioned for their relative to be granted posthumous bar admission and brought the case before the California Supreme Court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, the California Supreme Court reversed the ruling. \"Even if we cannot undo history, we can acknowledge it and, in doing so, accord a full measure of recognition to Chang's path-breaking efforts to become the first lawyer of Chinese descent in the United States,\" \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-chinese-lawyer-20150316-story.html\">the judges wrote\u003c/a> in their decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That case got me thinking about the fact that Asian-Americans have been formally excluded from the legal profession as Chang was, and of course, [with] all the informal barriers,\" says California Supreme Court justice Goodwin Liu, who reviewed the case.

Yet they comprised only about 6 percent of federal law clerks and 4 percent of state law clerks. Compare that to white students, and you'll see a striking contrast: 58 percent of students from top-30 schools were white, but still landed 82 percent of all federal clerkships and 80 percent of all state clerkships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu and his co-researchers also found that while Asian-Americans comprise 5 percent of lawyers in the U.S. and 7 percent of law students, only 3 percent of federal judges are Asian-American, and three out of 94 U.S. attorneys last year were Asian-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study noted that some obstacles Asian-Americans face include a lack of access to mentors, as well as stereotypes of Asians as being unable to assimilate or socially awkward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whereas Asian Americans are regarded as having the 'hard skills' required for lawyerly competence, they are regarded as lacking many important 'soft skills,' \" the researchers wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study also pointed out that there's a dearth of Asian-American lawyers in public service roles:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"It is notable that few Asian Americans appear motivated to pursue law in order to gain a pathway into government or politics. ... Greater penetration into these public leadership roles is critical if the increasing number of Asian American attorneys is to translate into increasing influence of Asian Americans in the legal profession and throughout society. A major challenge is to encourage Asian American lawyers to pursue public service roles and to eliminate barriers for those who do.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>When asked to break out the data further by ethnicity, Xiaonan Hu, one of the researchers, told NPR that she noticed Filipino-American and Indian-American respondents were more likely to say they enrolled in law school to work in government or politics than, say, Japanese-American or Korean-American respondents.

There were venture capitalists around Silicon Valley who knew these guys were “creeps” — or at least that’s how one of the VCs who resigned \u003ca href=\"https://500hats.com/im-a-creep-i-m-sorry-d2c13e996ea0\">described himself\u003c/a>. But the industry turned a blind eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a few years now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ycombinator.com/\">Y Combinator\u003c/a> has been trying to face the problem of sexual harassment in the VC community head-on. The organization, one of Silicon Valley’s most prestigious accelerators, runs essentially bootcamps for entrepreneurs starting up tech companies. It also introduces entrepreneurs to VCs, or the money men who invest in startups. (And yes, they are \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2017/03/13/female-founders-venture-capital/\">mostly men\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every year, Y Combinator sends out a form to the startup founders it works with, encouraging them to report sexual harassment. But when news of the tactic \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/this-influential-silicon-valley-firm-is-compiling-a-blacklist-of-venture-capitalists-who-harass-women/2017/07/14/1dfc7164-6661-11e7-8eb5-cbccc2e7bfbf_story.html?utm_term=.9f8bd60a8cdd\">got out recently\u003c/a>, it stirred some controversy and illustrated the potential landmines of trying to keep VCs in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a balancing act,” explains Sam Altman, Y Combinator’s president. He addressed the subject briefly on the sidelines of another interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://www.npr.org/player/embed/540578895/540652624\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman says they started sending out the questionnaire in 2014, when a startup founder reported that she had been sexually harassed. “And we just said, ‘We don’t want this, we have no tolerance for this. But we need people’s help — we obviously don’t see every interaction, so tell us,’ ” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Y Combinator receives a claim of sexual harassment, the organization evaluates its credibility, starting with interviews of both parties. If Y Combinator determines the claim to be credible, it keeps that information confidential but does not invite the accused VC back to its prestigious showcase event called \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/startup-incubator-idUSL2E8ESESX20120328\">Demo Day\u003c/a>. This is where Y Combinator-backed companies present to a roomful of investors. Airbnb, Reddit and Dropbox are three examples of Demo Day success stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being in the room is “something most investors would like to have access to,” Altman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have argued that in addition to facing the usual issues of fairness and verification when investigating such sensitive claims, Y Combinator’s blacklisting approach risks creating a climate where male VCs simply won’t meet with women entrepreneurs. The argument is that investors will be afraid of being falsely accused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”jwtHpVXnScyYt2WhYBMHYFd73Q59Rbiy”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Burying your head in the sand by not asking is the worst possible thing investors could be doing,” says \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/joelle_emerson?lang=en\">Joelle Emerson\u003c/a>, a former women’s right’s attorney who now runs Paradigm, a diversity consulting firm in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emerson says Y Combinator is trying to hack a solution to a particularly challenging problem. Entrepreneurs and VCs have a significant power dynamic like that between managers and employees: Startups need money from VCs to succeed. But unlike the manager-employee relationship, the investor and the startup founder are not technically co-workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re an employee (and) you’re harassed at your workplace by a manager, there are very clear steps to follow,” Emerson says. “To be clear HR doesn’t always handle these things well but there’s a clear system in place in most organizations.” No such system exists for reports about VCs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More importantly, Emerson says state and federal laws are pretty clear when it comes to addressing sexual harassment in the workplace, but “when you’re outside the employer-employee context, it’s a gray area from a legal standpoint because there are no laws directly governing the relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman says it’s this gray area that Y Combinator is trying to navigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the same way companies have HR departments and have a place to report inappropriate behavior,” Altman says, “the people in our program need a place to report inappropriate behavior, and I don’t think that should be a controversial thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmac=UA-5828686-4&utmdt=Tech+Incubator+Faces+Challenges+Of+Tackling+Sexual+Harassment+Among+Investors&utme=8(APIKey)9(MDAxOTAwOTE4MDEyMTkxMDAzNjczZDljZA004)\">\u003c/div>\n\n",

There were venture capitalists around Silicon Valley who knew these guys were “creeps” — or at least that’s how one of the VCs who resigned \u003ca href=\"https://500hats.com/im-a-creep-i-m-sorry-d2c13e996ea0\">described himself\u003c/a>. But the industry turned a blind eye.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a few years now, \u003ca href=\"http://www.ycombinator.com/\">Y Combinator\u003c/a> has been trying to face the problem of sexual harassment in the VC community head-on. The organization, one of Silicon Valley’s most prestigious accelerators, runs essentially bootcamps for entrepreneurs starting up tech companies. It also introduces entrepreneurs to VCs, or the money men who invest in startups. (And yes, they are \u003ca href=\"http://fortune.com/2017/03/13/female-founders-venture-capital/\">mostly men\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every year, Y Combinator sends out a form to the startup founders it works with, encouraging them to report sexual harassment. But when news of the tactic \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/this-influential-silicon-valley-firm-is-compiling-a-blacklist-of-venture-capitalists-who-harass-women/2017/07/14/1dfc7164-6661-11e7-8eb5-cbccc2e7bfbf_story.html?utm_term=.9f8bd60a8cdd\">got out recently\u003c/a>, it stirred some controversy and illustrated the potential landmines of trying to keep VCs in check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a balancing act,” explains Sam Altman, Y Combinator’s president. He addressed the subject briefly on the sidelines of another interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But we need people’s help — we obviously don’t see every interaction, so tell us,’ ” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Y Combinator receives a claim of sexual harassment, the organization evaluates its credibility, starting with interviews of both parties. If Y Combinator determines the claim to be credible, it keeps that information confidential but does not invite the accused VC back to its prestigious showcase event called \u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/article/startup-incubator-idUSL2E8ESESX20120328\">Demo Day\u003c/a>. This is where Y Combinator-backed companies present to a roomful of investors. Airbnb, Reddit and Dropbox are three examples of Demo Day success stories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being in the room is “something most investors would like to have access to,” Altman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics have argued that in addition to facing the usual issues of fairness and verification when investigating such sensitive claims, Y Combinator’s blacklisting approach risks creating a climate where male VCs simply won’t meet with women entrepreneurs. The argument is that investors will be afraid of being falsely accused.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Burying your head in the sand by not asking is the worst possible thing investors could be doing,” says \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/joelle_emerson?lang=en\">Joelle Emerson\u003c/a>, a former women’s right’s attorney who now runs Paradigm, a diversity consulting firm in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Emerson says Y Combinator is trying to hack a solution to a particularly challenging problem. Entrepreneurs and VCs have a significant power dynamic like that between managers and employees: Startups need money from VCs to succeed. But unlike the manager-employee relationship, the investor and the startup founder are not technically co-workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re an employee (and) you’re harassed at your workplace by a manager, there are very clear steps to follow,” Emerson says. “To be clear HR doesn’t always handle these things well but there’s a clear system in place in most organizations.” No such system exists for reports about VCs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More importantly, Emerson says state and federal laws are pretty clear when it comes to addressing sexual harassment in the workplace, but “when you’re outside the employer-employee context, it’s a gray area from a legal standpoint because there are no laws directly governing the relationship.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Altman says it’s this gray area that Y Combinator is trying to navigate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the same way companies have HR departments and have a place to report inappropriate behavior,” Altman says, “the people in our program need a place to report inappropriate behavior, and I don’t think that should be a controversial thing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmac=UA-5828686-4&utmdt=Tech+Incubator+Faces+Challenges+Of+Tackling+Sexual+Harassment+Among+Investors&utme=8(APIKey)9(MDAxOTAwOTE4MDEyMTkxMDAzNjczZDljZA004)\">\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
