"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

And still, after all these years, she’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11754857/they-may-be-in-demand-but-child-care-workers-still-struggle-to-make-ends-meet\">barely making ends meet\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After our deductions and our business expenses, our salary was close to $24,000 for two of us,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Elise Gould, co-author of a new report on early child care and education costs']‘Early educators are expected to underwrite the costs of the broken child care system with their low wages.’[/pullquote]Alexander’s situation is the norm, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.epi.org/170307/pre/b7a9a323f03a5d02bff17f258fc64fab44fb4a0bd8342c52d63545374f944a02/\">new report\u003c/a> released Tuesday from the Economic Policy Institute and UC Berkeley’s Center for the Study of Child Care Employment. Overall, the report finds California’s early educators are six times as likely as K–12 teachers to live in poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Parents want to have high quality for their kids but they often can’t afford it,” said Elise Gould, who co-authored the report. “And the other side of that is early educators are expected to underwrite the costs of the broken child care system with their low wages.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The economics of the system don’t add up. For example, Alexander currently charges about $600 a month for care. She can’t charge more because she needs to stay competitive. But that means she can’t afford to hire an assistant or pay herself for all the hours she spends planning lessons, shopping for supplies and cleaning up after the kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gould said child care centers face cost burdens as well — including for renting the space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='small' align='right' citation='Pat Alexander, who runs a child care center in Elk Grove with her husband']‘After our deductions and our business expenses, our salary was close to $24,000 for two of us.’[/pullquote]“You need to staff a center for as long as it takes for parents to be able to drop off their kids, then transport themselves to work, work their full day, and then be able to get back and pick up their kids at the end of the day,” she said, which can add up to a 12-hour day for child care workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents face their own economic challenges, too. The report finds center-based infant care costs the typical family in the state 25% of their annual income. The average fee for full-time child care in California ranges from $11,200 a year for a 4-year-old to $16,500 a year for an infant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='child-care' label='Related Coverage']Gould and her co-authors suggested that lawmakers overhaul the child care system. They recommend funding professional development for early education teachers and paying them in line with what K-12 teachers make. Incorporating those changes, and others, would cost money. The report estimates a revamped system would cost between about $30 billion and $75 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Letting the system continue as it is hurts everyone, Gould said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If teachers aren’t doing well, if they’re experiencing stress because of their low pay, then that’s going to factor into the quality (of care) that those children are getting,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And Gould points out the early childhood workforce is largely made up of women, who she said are undervalued for the work they do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that there’s an undervaluing in terms of the teaching of young children. Undervaluing of what has been historically women’s work — historically women of color doing that work,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature is considering several bills aimed at improving the early child care system. The legislation includes an effort \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB378\">to let in-home providers unionize\u003c/a>, and requiring \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB123\">more training\u003c/a> for child care workers.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Connie Leyva, which have advanced through the Legislature with virtually no opposition, would basically create a single reimbursement rate for early childhood providers that better accounts for regional costs and pays out more per kid for programs that meet specific quality standards. Both have passed their houses of origin and are awaiting action in appropriations committees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond that, however, child care and preschool providers across California say they’re placed in next-to-impossible positions when it comes to giving teachers raises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providers who mostly rely on fees from families say boosting pay means raising those fees—which \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/02/03/you-think-bay-area-housing-is-expensive-childcare-costs-are-rising-too/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">average\u003c/a> about $16,500 a year for infant care in California—and further pricing out lower- and middle-class parents.

Photo courtesy of Little Stars Preschool.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Larry Drury, CEO of Go Kids, a nonprofit that operates child care centers and preschools in pricey Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties, says he advertised in vain this year for a preschool teacher for one of Go Kids’ San Jose centers. Weeks passed, Drury said, with zero applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not even misqualified people, but no applications, period,” he said. “It’s tough to find preschool teachers who will work for $17 an hour. I can’t afford to pay them much more than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drury said several of his educators have left their positions because they can’t afford to live in Silicon Valley on a preschool teacher’s salary. One teacher got divorced and could no longer afford an apartment for her two kids, so she left for Arkansas to live with her parents, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About one-fourth of the state’s early childhood educators leave the profession each year, hampering the quality of programs across the state, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gettingdowntofacts.com/sites/default/files/2018-09/GDTFII_Report_Stipek.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collection\u003c/a> of Stanford University studies that earlier this year urged the state to spend more on early childhood programs such as subsidized preschool to bridge a chronic achievement gap between the state’s most disadvantaged students and the rest of their peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the slots and funding for the state’s subsidized child care and preschool programs remain limited compared with the demand, or even the number of eligible children. An estimated 2 million kids qualified for subsidized child care in 2017, but only 1 in 9 \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/millions-of-children-are-eligible-for-subsidized-child-care-but-only-a-fraction-received-services-in-2017/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">received\u003c/a> such services, according to the California Budget & Policy Center, which blamed “inadequate state and federal funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles, preschool operator Darlene Morales said she has had to shift her business model away from state reimbursements and toward family fees since funding has dwindled for the First 5 LA universal preschool initiative her Little Stars Preschool and Family Childcare relied on. Otherwise, Morales said, she couldn’t have continued to afford even the $15 to $18 an hour her teachers are paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For $800 a month, students in the Little Stars Spanish immersion preschool program learn to converse in Spanish, write their first and last names, recognize numbers and letters in both languages, solve 100-piece jigsaw puzzles and build a foundation for critical thinking. Morales said some of her teachers have been at Little Stars for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Lorena Gomez, preschool teacher’']“Most people can’t do this job.

[But] I love being with my kids.”[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But holding onto her faculty has meant personal sacrifice, she said: When Little Stars was shifting from state subsidies to a private client base, she worked without pay to avoid cutting teachers’ hours or salaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If they don’t have a consistent job with me, they’re not going to stay with me because they need their paycheck, bottom line,” said Morales. Little Stars, she said, is increasing its fees this year by $200 to raise teacher pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every penny matters, said Gomez, the Sacramento preschool teacher, noting that few of her colleagues can afford to live without roommates. Some live in Section 8 housing, she said. When her own rent rose by $300 a month, she began driving for a rideshare company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though she’s thought about changing careers, she said, she stays because she loves the profession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Most people can’t do this job.

Gavin Newsom that included the most significant \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2019/04/early-childhood-universal-preschool-newsom-mccarty/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">investments\u003c/a> in recent history toward early childhood education programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $1.8 billion is expected to give tens of thousands more kids access to subsidized child care and preschool, and pump hundreds of millions of dollars into educator training and new child care facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But left out of the budget picture was the issue of pay for early childhood educators, whose chronically low compensation has long troubled early childhood providers, advocates and experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s an expensive ask—on top of an ambitious \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2018/12/can-california-afford-newsom-education-plan/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">agenda\u003c/a> with a price tag already estimated in the tens of billions of dollars—but one that could be critical, according to experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we don’t raise teacher salaries, all this training money is going to go for naught because we’re not going to attract a stronger slice of college graduates and more qualified teachers,” said Bruce Fuller, a professor of education and public policy at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s just so key. The governor’s always talking about quality, but you’re not going to get quality unless you raise teacher salaries.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2017, California child care workers ($12.29 an hour) and preschool teachers ($16.19) earned a median wage that was less than half of what teachers leading kindergarten ($38.33) and elementary classrooms ($45.17) earned, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/files/2018/06/3-Earnings-Economic-Security.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a> at UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://speaker.asmdc.org/sites/speaker.asmdc.org/files/pdf/BRC-Final-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> commissioned by an influential group of legislators, including Democratic Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon, set a long-term goal of ensuring that early childhood educators are paid as much as teachers in older grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initiative’s supporters blame the disparity in part on the state’s system for reimbursing state-subsidized programs, which they say could be improved by two proposals working their way through the legislative pipeline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB125\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill\u003c/a> 125 by Democratic Assemblyman Kevin McCarty and Senate \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB174\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill\u003c/a> 174 by Democratic Sen. Connie Leyva, which have advanced through the Legislature with virtually no opposition, would basically create a single reimbursement rate for early childhood providers that better accounts for regional costs and pays out more per kid for programs that meet specific quality standards. Both have passed their houses of origin and are awaiting action in appropriations committees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beyond that, however, child care and preschool providers across California say they’re placed in next-to-impossible positions when it comes to giving teachers raises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Providers who mostly rely on fees from families say boosting pay means raising those fees—which \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/02/03/you-think-bay-area-housing-is-expensive-childcare-costs-are-rising-too/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">average\u003c/a> about $16,500 a year for infant care in California—and further pricing out lower- and middle-class parents. Meanwhile, providers who mainly contract through state-subsidized programs say the low reimbursement rates the state pays out don’t cover all kids who are eligible or truly account for the cost of caring for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11762650\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11762650\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/Preschool-teacher-pay-e1563476265405-800x531.jpg\" alt=\"Children at Little Stars Preschool and Family Childcare in Los Angeles dance at a drum circle with the school’s owner/director Darlene Morales, at top in the pink t-shirt.

Weeks passed, Drury said, with zero applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not even misqualified people, but no applications, period,” he said. “It’s tough to find preschool teachers who will work for $17 an hour. I can’t afford to pay them much more than that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Drury said several of his educators have left their positions because they can’t afford to live in Silicon Valley on a preschool teacher’s salary. One teacher got divorced and could no longer afford an apartment for her two kids, so she left for Arkansas to live with her parents, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About one-fourth of the state’s early childhood educators leave the profession each year, hampering the quality of programs across the state, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gettingdowntofacts.com/sites/default/files/2018-09/GDTFII_Report_Stipek.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collection\u003c/a> of Stanford University studies that earlier this year urged the state to spend more on early childhood programs such as subsidized preschool to bridge a chronic achievement gap between the state’s most disadvantaged students and the rest of their peers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the slots and funding for the state’s subsidized child care and preschool programs remain limited compared with the demand, or even the number of eligible children. An estimated 2 million kids qualified for subsidized child care in 2017, but only 1 in 9 \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/millions-of-children-are-eligible-for-subsidized-child-care-but-only-a-fraction-received-services-in-2017/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">received\u003c/a> such services, according to the California Budget & Policy Center, which blamed “inadequate state and federal funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Los Angeles, preschool operator Darlene Morales said she has had to shift her business model away from state reimbursements and toward family fees since funding has dwindled for the First 5 LA universal preschool initiative her Little Stars Preschool and Family Childcare relied on. Otherwise, Morales said, she couldn’t have continued to afford even the $15 to $18 an hour her teachers are paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For $800 a month, students in the Little Stars Spanish immersion preschool program learn to converse in Spanish, write their first and last names, recognize numbers and letters in both languages, solve 100-piece jigsaw puzzles and build a foundation for critical thinking. Morales said some of her teachers have been at Little Stars for more than a decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

One year at the prestigious university costs almost $53,000. Compare that to any one of the California State University schools in the Bay Area, where all four years of tuition, for in-state attendees, comes to just over $30,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"student-debt\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/06/14/why-stanford-may-be-the-most-affordable-university-in-the-bay-area/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent analysis by the Bay Area News Group\u003c/a> of \u003ca href=\"https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">federal loan data\u003c/a> from the 2016-17 academic year, students who graduated from Stanford with a bachelor’s degree had the lowest average debt, compared to graduates at any other four-year college or university in the Bay Area. The average federal loan debt among graduates there came to roughly $13,800, thousands of dollars less than several nearby public universities with significantly lower tuition rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graduates of nearby San Jose State University, for example, had an average debt burden of about $17,700.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s more, fewer than 20% of Stanford graduates enter the real world with any loan burden whatsoever.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that’s where Stanford’s $26.5 billion endowment comes into play.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ten years ago, we stopped expecting students to borrow as part of their financial aid package,” explained Karen Cooper, Stanford’s financial aid director. “We realized that lo and behold, people from low-income backgrounds weren’t applying because the sticker price was so scary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, Stanford covers full tuition for any students whose parents make less than $125,000. And students whose families make less than $65,000 get a free ride and also have their room and board covered, Cooper said. In both cases, she added, those students have to work during the academic year and contribute $5,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only a minuscule percentage of applicants to Stanford are actually admitted, Cooper noted. And among the select few that are, most don’t have to worry about how they’ll pay for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No students, regardless of income, are expected to borrow,” she said.

One of the requirements that the Department of Education has is, they want to know for each major and each university, how many students graduated with loans and how much the average loan was for those students. When you can bring all of that together and look at the Bay Area, Stanford actually has the lowest average for their students. They also have very few students who take out loans, which is kind of part of this process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL:\u003c/strong> And how much are we talking about? What kind of loan debt are these students leaving with on average?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: On average they’re leaving with about $14,000. UC Berkeley is the next closest one. The CSUs, San Francisco State, San Jose State, CSU East Bay, are pretty close — they range from about $15,000 to about $17,000 on average. So not a massive difference, but $3,000 can go a long way before or after college, and that’s [just] the average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And so, is this simply a case of private schools being able to give out more financial aid, outweighing their often higher attendance costs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: Absolutely. That’s a huge part of it. Stanford has a $26.5 billion endowment. So that gives them a lot of latitude to subsidize a lot of their students. They also have a lot of students who don’t need any financial aid, who are able to pay out of pocket. A CSU might serve a more lower-income, broader base of students. So [Stanford] has the resources, they have the donors, they have that infrastructure to give it a lot more money than a state school does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: Now, you look specifically at federal student loan debt. Is there any way to know if this conclusion holds true when you factor in private loans?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: What we found is that it is pretty close. About $20,000 is the average for the most recent graduating class [at Stanford], and that’s about the same as the CSUs. It is much lower than most other private schools where the average, including non-federally subsidized private loans, is about $25,000 to $27,000. So even if you take into account those non-federal loans, it is still very, very low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And has this always been the case at Stanford?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: This is actually a conscious decision that Stanford made for the 2008-09 school year, where they said, “OK, let’s reimagine how we present this package. Let’s take loans out of the equation. How much can parents pay? We’ll cover the rest.” So since then, they’ve seen about two-thirds of their students graduate without any loans at all. That number is down to about 19 percent. And the average has stayed about flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Berkeley is considering a ban as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland ban is similar to San Francisco’s, in part because activists like \u003ca href=\"https://secure-justice.org/team/brian-hofer/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Brian Hofer\u003c/a>, executive director of the nonprofit Secure Justice, helped craft both measures.

We don’t need it,” Hofer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facial recognition software uses machine learning algorithms to track human faces in digital footage and match them to names. But if the databases those software systems pull from are inaccurate or distorted by historic policing patterns, people of color can become the victim of false positives. Researchers argue that commercially available products for law enforcement aren’t able to correct for these systemic human biases, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11742529/report-warns-a-i-algorithms-not-quite-ready-for-prime-time-in-criminal-justice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">especially in criminal justice\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland City Council President \u003ca href=\"https://www.oaklandca.gov/officials/rebecca-kaplan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rebecca Kaplan\u003c/a> cited such concerns in a report written for the council. “Face recognition technology runs the risk of making Oakland residents less safe as the misidentification of individuals could lead to the misuse of force, false incarceration, and minority-based persecution.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11746658' label='Related Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Law enforcement agencies have argued against outright bans, arguing that artificial intelligence has the capacity to improve with time and oversight, but they appear to be losing the political battle with a growing number of cities. The San Francisco ban, for instance, singled out facial recognition in a broader ordinance that required city departments to establish use policies and obtain board approval for all other kinds of surveillance technology they want to purchase or are using at present.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among those testifying before the Oakland vote was \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclu.org/bio/matt-cagle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matt Cagle\u003c/a>, an attorney with the Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You cannot leave your face at home,” Cagle said. “We do not want a world in which police are making decisions based on inaccurate information, misidentifying people and potentially using force based on flawed and inaccurate technology.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Matt Cagle, attorney with the Northern California chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union.']‘You cannot leave your face at home.

In a \u003ca href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/rekognition/the-facts-on-facial-recognition-with-artificial-intelligence/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a>, the company argued, “Technology like Amazon Rekognition should only be used to narrow the field of potential matches. The responses from Amazon Rekognition allow officials to quickly get a set of potential faces for further human analysis. Given the seriousness of public safety use cases, human judgment is necessary to augment facial recognition, and facial recognition software should not be used autonomously.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless of the municipal bans, and a statewide moratorium on facial recognition for police body cams under consideration now in Sacramento, federal agencies like the FBI can and do use the software nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facial recognition has been the subject of two House Oversight and Reform Committee hearings, in which concern over the technology appeared to be bipartisan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those hearings have yet to lead to a change in federal law, but they did reveal the \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/07/07/fbi-ice-find-state-drivers-license-photos-are-gold-mine-facial-recognition-searches/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FBI has amassed a database\u003c/a> of more than 640 million photographs for its facial recognition program, including driver’s license photos from 21 states, not including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor\u003ca href=\"https://sfbos.org/supervisor-peskin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Aaron Peskin\u003c/a> took that revelation as confirmation he made the right choice in voting for a ban.

In the print age, university library shelves were lined with journals, available for any researcher or – in the case of public universities like the University of California – any member of the public to peruse and learn from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, for almost all journals, and a growing number of books, libraries sign contracts to license access to digital versions. Since academic publishers moved their journals online, it has become rare for libraries to subscribe to printed journals, and researchers have adapted to the convenience of accessing journal articles on the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new business model of licensing access to journals online rather than distributing them in print, for-profit publishers often lock libraries into bundled subscriptions that wrap the majority of a publisher’s portfolio of journals – \u003ca href=\"https://www.elsevier.com/books-and-journals\">almost 3,000 in Elsevier’s case\u003c/a> – into a single, multimillion dollar package. Rather than storing back issues on shelves, libraries can lose permanent access to journals when a contract expires. And members of the public can no longer read the library’s copy of a journal because the licenses are limited to members of the university. Now the public must buy online copies of academic articles for an average of $35 to $40 a pop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right']‘Under the new business model of licensing access to journals online rather than distributing them in print, for-profit publishers often lock libraries into bundled subscriptions that wrap the majority of a publisher’s portfolio of journals – almost 3,000 in Elsevier’s case – into a single, multimillion dollar package.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shift to digital has been good for researchers in many ways. It is far more convenient to search for articles online, and easier to access and download a copy – provided you work for an institution with a paid subscription. Modern software makes organizing and annotating them simpler, too. With all of these benefits, no one would advocate for going back to the old days of print journals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online access to journals did not improve the picture overall. Despite digital copies of articles costing nothing to duplicate and the cost of producing an article online being lower than in the past, the cost to libraries of licensing access to them has continued to experience \u003ca href=\"https://www.arl.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/5yr_ongoing-resource-expenditures_by_type.pdf\">hyperinflation\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/academic-journal-publishing-is-headed-for-a-day-of-reckoning-80869\">No library\u003c/a> can afford to license all the journals its faculty and students want access to, and many researchers around the world are shut out completely. Compounding the problem, \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0127502\">consolidation in the scholarly publishing market\u003c/a> has reduced competition significantly, causing even more price inflexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Excessive Profits?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Academic publishers certainly bear costs. They pay for professional editors and programmers, they manage the peer review process, they market their journals and so on. However, their revenues far exceed these costs and are among the highest of any companies in the world. Elsevier’s profit margin is reported to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/kittyknowles/2018/06/13/blockchain-science-iris-ai-project-aiur-elsevier-academic-journal-london-tech-week-cogx/\">nearly 40%\u003c/a>, far higher than even Apple at \u003ca href=\"https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/profit-margins\">around 23%\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where social media platforms like Facebook profit from – and indeed, would not exist without – the content generated by users, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/04/the-guardian-view-on-academic-publishing-disastrous-capitalism\">the parallel is true\u003c/a> for academic journals. Companies like Elsevier receive articles from university faculty and other researchers for free, summarizing research that was often publicly funded by government grants. Then other faculty and researchers serve on their editorial boards and peer-review those articles for free or a nominal fee. Finally the company publishes them in journals available only behind a paywall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s the rub: the paywall. The great promise of the internet was that it would make \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_wants_to_be_free\">knowledge more freely and easily accessible\u003c/a>. In the world of academic research – where new discoveries are made and new knowledge is born – the hope 20 years ago was that the advent of online platforms would make research articles universally available. It would also bring down the cost of publishing scholarly journals and, consequently, begin to reduce the multimillion dollar subscription costs borne by universities and other research institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, articles are not readily available to everyone, subscription costs have continued to rise, and subscribers’ rights have eroded, including what they can do with articles they buy and their ability to provide long-term access to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened to sharing knowledge with the people who need it, funded or created it?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Model for the Digital Age\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Maybe it’s time to just blow up the whole system and start over. But today’s scholarly system of sharing knowledge evolved over hundreds of years and contains certain qualities – peer review of accuracy, editorial judgment, long-term preservation – that still matter deeply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While research products – books, journals and articles – would definitely benefit from modernization in the digital age, we at the University of California are focusing on fixing the business model first. Paywalls and online subscriptions may make sense in other parts of the media ecosystem, but it’s not a good model for academic publishing, where authors and reviewers are paid by universities and research grants (with public money) rather than by publishers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11761672\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8-800x417.jpg\" alt=\" The open access movement would get rid of paywalls and let anyone read anything for free. \" width=\"800\" height=\"417\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11761672\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8-800x417.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8-160x83.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8-1020x532.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The open access movement would get rid of paywalls and let anyone read anything for free. \u003ccite>(Inked Pixels/Shutterstock.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, the academy has another option for a publishing business model that can better achieve the promise of the internet: open access. In that model, authors, or their funders or institutions, pay the publisher a fee to cover the cost of publishing each article. In exchange, the articles are made freely available for everyone to read online, anywhere, anytime. Article quality is preserved by the same unpaid peer-review system. Libraries at research institutions could shift their payments from licenses and subscriptions to publication fees for their affiliated authors. The cost is theoretically the same, but everyone can read everything for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California has long \u003ca href=\"https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/open-access-at-uc/open-access-policy/\">supported the ideals of open access\u003c/a> – allowing everyone in the world to access the knowledge created by its faculty and researchers, for the benefit of all. In fact, since open access became an option for publishing, more and more UC authors, following the \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.4375\">global trend\u003c/a>, have independently chosen to pay their publisher a fee in order to make their article freely available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those fees come on top of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/why-uc-split-publishing-giant-elsevier\">tens of millions of dollars\u003c/a> that the university is already paying the publisher for access to the same articles. This “\u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-science-of-the-tax-dollar-double-dip-1459379449\">double dipping\u003c/a>” by publishers was the final straw in UC’s resolve to change the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_Sp-B_0AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao\">I worked\u003c/a> with colleagues within the University of California and other academic research institutions to study the \u003ca href=\"https://www.library.ucdavis.edu/icis/uc-pay-it-forward-project/\">costs of publishing with this open access model\u003c/a>. We found that, while costs would shift and more research-grant funds may need to be applied to publishing fees, \u003ca href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284316481\">overall it would be affordable\u003c/a> for research universities, at least in North America where libraries are relatively well funded. With these results, UC could see a way out of its dilemma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When UC’s contract with Elsevier was up for renewal, we resolved to put our ideas into practice and pursue the twin goals of increasing open access to UC’s research while containing or lowering our journal-related costs – and finally achieving something of the promise of the internet. While I was not on UC’s negotiating team, I was among the group of faculty and library leaders that worked closely with them and decided to take this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, UC’s researchers will have to find other ways to get Elsevier journal articles than the online access they have become accustomed to. Many of those articles are already \u003ca href=\"https://www.the-scientist.com/daily-news/open-access-on-the-rise-study-31125\">freely available\u003c/a> on the web and the rest can be borrowed from libraries or requested from authors. There are also a growing number of tools like \u003ca href=\"https://unpaywall.org/\">Unpaywall\u003c/a>, which searches the web for free copies of articles, to help researchers with that transition. But for busy researchers with little time to spare, convenience is king, and they’ll likely soon learn from experience why achieving 100% open access to research articles is so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC’s goals are ambitious and their implementation will be complex.

Rather than storing back issues on shelves, libraries can lose permanent access to journals when a contract expires. And members of the public can no longer read the library’s copy of a journal because the licenses are limited to members of the university. Now the public must buy online copies of academic articles for an average of $35 to $40 a pop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is far more convenient to search for articles online, and easier to access and download a copy – provided you work for an institution with a paid subscription. Modern software makes organizing and annotating them simpler, too. With all of these benefits, no one would advocate for going back to the old days of print journals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online access to journals did not improve the picture overall. Despite digital copies of articles costing nothing to duplicate and the cost of producing an article online being lower than in the past, the cost to libraries of licensing access to them has continued to experience \u003ca href=\"https://www.arl.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/5yr_ongoing-resource-expenditures_by_type.pdf\">hyperinflation\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/academic-journal-publishing-is-headed-for-a-day-of-reckoning-80869\">No library\u003c/a> can afford to license all the journals its faculty and students want access to, and many researchers around the world are shut out completely. Compounding the problem, \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0127502\">consolidation in the scholarly publishing market\u003c/a> has reduced competition significantly, causing even more price inflexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Excessive Profits?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Academic publishers certainly bear costs. They pay for professional editors and programmers, they manage the peer review process, they market their journals and so on. However, their revenues far exceed these costs and are among the highest of any companies in the world. Elsevier’s profit margin is reported to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/kittyknowles/2018/06/13/blockchain-science-iris-ai-project-aiur-elsevier-academic-journal-london-tech-week-cogx/\">nearly 40%\u003c/a>, far higher than even Apple at \u003ca href=\"https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/profit-margins\">around 23%\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where social media platforms like Facebook profit from – and indeed, would not exist without – the content generated by users, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/04/the-guardian-view-on-academic-publishing-disastrous-capitalism\">the parallel is true\u003c/a> for academic journals. Companies like Elsevier receive articles from university faculty and other researchers for free, summarizing research that was often publicly funded by government grants. Then other faculty and researchers serve on their editorial boards and peer-review those articles for free or a nominal fee. Finally the company publishes them in journals available only behind a paywall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s the rub: the paywall. The great promise of the internet was that it would make \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_wants_to_be_free\">knowledge more freely and easily accessible\u003c/a>. In the world of academic research – where new discoveries are made and new knowledge is born – the hope 20 years ago was that the advent of online platforms would make research articles universally available. It would also bring down the cost of publishing scholarly journals and, consequently, begin to reduce the multimillion dollar subscription costs borne by universities and other research institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In that model, authors, or their funders or institutions, pay the publisher a fee to cover the cost of publishing each article. In exchange, the articles are made freely available for everyone to read online, anywhere, anytime. Article quality is preserved by the same unpaid peer-review system. Libraries at research institutions could shift their payments from licenses and subscriptions to publication fees for their affiliated authors. The cost is theoretically the same, but everyone can read everything for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California has long \u003ca href=\"https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/open-access-at-uc/open-access-policy/\">supported the ideals of open access\u003c/a> – allowing everyone in the world to access the knowledge created by its faculty and researchers, for the benefit of all. In fact, since open access became an option for publishing, more and more UC authors, following the \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.4375\">global trend\u003c/a>, have independently chosen to pay their publisher a fee in order to make their article freely available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those fees come on top of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/why-uc-split-publishing-giant-elsevier\">tens of millions of dollars\u003c/a> that the university is already paying the publisher for access to the same articles. This “\u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-science-of-the-tax-dollar-double-dip-1459379449\">double dipping\u003c/a>” by publishers was the final straw in UC’s resolve to change the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_Sp-B_0AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao\">I worked\u003c/a> with colleagues within the University of California and other academic research institutions to study the \u003ca href=\"https://www.library.ucdavis.edu/icis/uc-pay-it-forward-project/\">costs of publishing with this open access model\u003c/a>. We found that, while costs would shift and more research-grant funds may need to be applied to publishing fees, \u003ca href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284316481\">overall it would be affordable\u003c/a> for research universities, at least in North America where libraries are relatively well funded. With these results, UC could see a way out of its dilemma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When UC’s contract with Elsevier was up for renewal, we resolved to put our ideas into practice and pursue the twin goals of increasing open access to UC’s research while containing or lowering our journal-related costs – and finally achieving something of the promise of the internet. While I was not on UC’s negotiating team, I was among the group of faculty and library leaders that worked closely with them and decided to take this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, UC’s researchers will have to find other ways to get Elsevier journal articles than the online access they have become accustomed to. Many of those articles are already \u003ca href=\"https://www.the-scientist.com/daily-news/open-access-on-the-rise-study-31125\">freely available\u003c/a> on the web and the rest can be borrowed from libraries or requested from authors. There are also a growing number of tools like \u003ca href=\"https://unpaywall.org/\">Unpaywall\u003c/a>, which searches the web for free copies of articles, to help researchers with that transition. But for busy researchers with little time to spare, convenience is king, and they’ll likely soon learn from experience why achieving 100% open access to research articles is so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC’s goals are ambitious and their implementation will be complex. Changing a system this intricate is akin to modernizing the FAA’s air traffic control system – a million planes are in the air at any moment and altering anything can have serious consequences elsewhere. But we have to start somewhere or the whole system is at risk, and UC has placed its bet.

She earned her music degree with a piano emphasis from Brigham Young University and spent decades honing her craft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, she not only runs her own academy near Sacramento, offering private lessons with a special certification in the Suzuki Method of instruction, but also teaches in public schools, even though she does not have a state teaching credential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>How? Via a loophole that lets charter schools skip some of the credentialing requirements of teachers in traditional public school classrooms. The exception has allowed Williams to offer music instruction to homeschool charter students and to group classes in brick-and-mortar charters such as the Sacramento-based California Montessori Project network.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents say it encourages enrichment in the state’s privately run sector of the public school system. In recent months, however, that loophole, like many other state rules that apply to charters, has drawn legislative attention. And influential lawmakers say it could be on its way out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"charter-schools\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although most teachers in traditional public schools in California are required to obtain a teaching credential, state law grants charter schools “flexibility” in credentialing requirements for teachers of classes outside of the “core” subjects of math, reading, science and social studies, as well as “college prep” courses such as Advanced Placement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter advocates and local school officials say the ability to expand limited applicant pools to include, say, professional artists, helps ensure a breadth of course offerings in areas such as dance, theater and music.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But charter school critics say the exception has been abused, and that standards need to be clarified to ensure that every student attending California public schools has a fully prepared and trained teacher. They point to new data showing some charters have high proportions of teachers who don’t meet state credentialing standards, even for some required core courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I entered the chair of the Assembly Education Committee, I assumed all school districts and charter schools believed that it was imperative that they have a credentialed teacher in their classrooms.

It has been a devastating and difficult, not to mention expensive, journey.’[/pullquote]As she traveled the world winning medals, the Newport Beach student took care not to run afoul of NCAA eligibility rules barring prospective college athletes from accepting financial compensation, her sights still set on playing for a top school. She turned down an endorsement deal with a sunglasses brand and the stipend offered to her teammates, she says, telling herself there would be time later to play professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But later never came for Hodson, who suffered a career-ending head injury on the court during her freshman year at Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My dreams of playing in the Olympics are over,” Hodson, 22, said in an email. “It has been a devastating and difficult, not to mention expensive, journey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s how Hodson found herself testifying this spring in the California Senate in support of the “Fair Pay to Play Act,” which would allow student athletes to profit from the use of their name, image or likeness. Authored by Sen. Nancy Skinner, the bill would directly contradict NCAA policies enforcing amateurism in college sports, and is the latest front in an ongoing battle over student athlete compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Past controversies have focused on whether men’s football and basketball stars should share in the revenue they generate for what has become a multi-billion-dollar college sports industry.

They also seized the spotlight to challenge each other over their records and policy positions on hot-button issues, including race and immigration. On Thursday night, California Sen.

The facility’s gym, decked out with balloons and streamers, is packed with about 100 people, among them elected leaders and high-ranking county officials. They’re all here on a Wednesday afternoon late in May to celebrate a graduating class of four young men, dressed in ties and khaki slacks under purple gowns, each wearing identical county-issued white sneakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eighteen-year-old Ramone — just his first name is being used to protect his privacy — steps to the mic. “We should leave here with the legacy of being kids who were at their worst,” he tells his fellow graduates, “and who then became successful in ways that led to our high school graduation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Graduating from high school, or earning credit toward graduation, is usually a best-case educational scenario in California’s juvenile detention centers. But here in San Mateo, the crowd assembled for this graduation — an unusual alliance of probation officers, county education officials and local educators — has fought hard to make sure students can see a future for themselves in college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Ramone, 18']'We should leave here with the legacy of being kids who were at their worst and who then became successful in ways that led to our high school graduation.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this juvenile hall, kids like Ramone can take classes taught by community college instructors from the nearby College of San Mateo through a program called \u003ca href=\"https://collegeofsanmateo.edu/projectchange/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Project Change\u003c/a>. It’s one of only a handful of programs of its kind in the state, and it was one of the very first.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some California lawmakers have taken note.

It's hard to think about your future or striving for something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says a fluke of fate led her to community college and out of the criminal justice system, while her brother, who’d also been in juvenile hall, wound up in jail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Years later, as an English instructor at the College of San Mateo, Bliss wanted to find a way to spare young people her brother’s path by giving them an alternative. She knew it wouldn’t be easy to reroute their lives and that it would take more than offering college courses in juvenile hall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only 56% of court school students re-enrolled in their local school district 30 to 90 days after getting out of detention in 2011-12, according to the Youth Law Center report, while just 1% enrolled in postsecondary education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Bliss helped launch Project Change in 2015, her goal was to work with students in juvenile hall as early as their junior year of high school, facilitate their transition to community college and support them through graduation. Since it started, the program has served about 160 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Nobody's telling these kids to go to college — that's not on the menu.
