"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.",

There might be egos and personalities involved that go back generations.

Prosecutors had asked for a \"meaningful\" sentence of 13 months in prison and one year of supervised release to rebuild faith in what they call a \"rigged\" system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vandemoer's lawyers argued that he should be sentenced to probation. \"There is simply no way incarceration is necessary to deter Mr. Vandemoer from ever doing this, or anything like this, again,\" they wrote in a sentencing memorandum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Vandemoer's case, he has admitted to accepting payments to the sailing program of $110,000 and $500,000 for agreeing to help try to secure admission for two students. In one of those cases, prosecutors say, he was not able to actually designate the student as a recruit due to a timing snafu. Separately, the scheme's mastermind also mailed him a check for $160,000 that they agreed would count toward a \"future student.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coaches like Vandemoer were the key to the so-called side door that many students around the nation illicitly slipped through to get into elite colleges. Coaches on the take would use their special slots meant for star recruits and instead sell them. Often that meant admitting students purporting to be champion athletes in sports they never even actually played; in some cases, photos were staged or doctored to make them look like competitors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Patrick Cotter, a former federal prosecutor']'You will never be able to truly calculate the harm done when people learn that it's a rigged game.'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vandemoer \"not only deceived and defrauded\" Stanford, prosecutors wrote in their sentencing memorandum, \"but also validated a national cynicism over college admissions by helping wealthy and unscrupulous applicants enjoy an unjust advantage over those who lack deep pockets or are simply unwilling to cheat to get ahead.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You will never be able to truly calculate the harm done when people learn that it's a rigged game,\" said attorney Patrick Cotter, a former federal prosecutor who is not involved in the case. \"That's a terrible crime on society. We'll never know how many kids gave up trying to get into good schools saying to themselves 'I'm not going to make the effort because some rich kid is just going to buy his way in ahead of me. So why bother?'\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"\"You know, if it was put up to a vote the public would probably send all these people to jail for 20 years,\" Cotter added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vandemoer's lawyers, however, are seeking leniency for the 41-year-old father of a 1-year-old and a 3-year-old. In their sentencing memorandum, defense attorneys describe Vandemoer as \"fundamentally a decent family man\" who \"dearly regrets\" his \"terrible mistake\" and has \"worked hard to make amends.\" They also argue he's \"perhaps the least culpable\" of all 50 defendants engulfed in this scandal since he never pocketed any money for himself — it all went to the sailing team to pay for uniforms, equipment and an assistant coach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Vandemoer's intent, while misguided, was to help the sailing program he loved,\" his lawyers wrote. And besides, they added, no student ever actually got into Stanford because of Vandemoer. Two students opted to go elsewhere and the third student, who was too late to be recruited, applied and got in through the normal process, but was kicked out this year, after Stanford learned that her resume contained false information.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vandemoer's lawyers have also sent the judge some 30 letters from family, friends and supporters, including former students and colleagues, extolling Vandemoer's character.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='college-admissions-scandal' label='The College Admissions Scandal']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Honesty and integrity were more important [to Vandemoer] than victory,\" wrote one parent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He's known as a straight shooter; one who adheres to the rules closely,\" said an attorney who has worked with Vandemoer in community sailing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But many across the nation have been outraged as prosecutors \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/12/702539140/u-s-accuses-actresses-others-of-fraud-in-wide-college-admissions-scandal\">revealed the brazen scam\u003c/a> that also involved cheating on students' SAT and ACT entrance exams. The government has amassed a mountain of damning evidence, including emails, wiretapped phone conversations and financial records, implicating coaches, parents, middlemen, test proctors and test takers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mastermind, Rick Singer, has pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to defraud the United States, and obstruction of justice. That could mean 65 years in prison. But Singer is hoping his sentence will be much lighter because he has been cooperating with the government to build cases against others.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than a dozen parents have already pleaded guilty, including actress Felicity Huffman, who expressed \"deep regret and shame.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another, New York attorney Gordon Caplan, choked up publicly when he said he was \"really sorry to my daughter who I love more than anything in the world, who knew nothing about this\" and also to \"all the other kids who are in the college admissions process and to all the parents who are helping them and supporting them.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But nearly 20 parents, including actress Lori Loughlin, are fighting the charges. Attorney Martin Weinberg represents two defendants who have pleaded not guilty and say they're looking forward to a trial to prove they did nothing wrong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Donations that are made on an everyday basis by parents of students to universities, we contend were not bribes, but were instead donations,\" Weinberg said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Stanford said it wants nothing to do with the money Vandemoer brought in because of the scheme, no matter what anyone calls it. The school said it considers the money tainted and is planning to redirect it \"for the public good.\" The school did not weigh in on how much time Vandemoer deserved for a sentence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

Half of the student body comes from outside Orange County, he said, with many avoiding the area’s steep cost of living by commuting from as far as San Diego or the Inland Empire. The project is set to open in the autumn of 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related stories\" tag=\"community-colleges\"]At Sierra College, just over 100 students live in the no-frills residence hall, with about twice as many on a waiting list to get in. Slots are set aside for athletes, most of whom come from outside the district, as well as international students and former foster-care youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students pay $925 per month to share a double or quad room, which includes a meal plan that they can use in the cafeteria and nearby off-campus restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price was right for Polamalu’s friend Moe Irwin, a natural science major who is visually impaired and uses his disability benefits to pay rent. Cluttered with the typical college student piles of clothes and books, the space he shares with a roommate is just big enough to fit the basics, plus a few sparkly dresses Irwin wears for drag performances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s mainly that we want independence from our parents,” Irwin said. “We love them, but we recognize it’s time to go out on our own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With rents in the Sacramento area rising, Irwin said, he would likely need to share a one-bedroom apartment with at least two other people if he wanted to live off campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754091\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-1-e1560318405116.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754091\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-1-e1560318405116.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Psychology major Matthew Polamalu chose to attend Sierra College because it offered on-campus housing. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Finding affordable solutions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community college students facing similar dilemmas without the option of on-campus housing are increasingly resorting to couch surfing or living in their cars. As state lawmakers debate measures that would \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-college-affordability-bill-tracker/\">allow homeless students to park overnight\u003c/a> on campus and receive housing vouchers, building dorms offers an alternate path, one that colleges can pursue on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it also means transforming the character of community college campuses and confronting thorny questions, such as how to actually make the units affordable to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Sierra College built, owns and manages its own residence hall, both Orange Coast College and Santa Rosa Junior College have opted for public-private partnerships with Servitas, a developer and The Scion Group, a management and consulting company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rents for the Santa Rosa project will be under $800 per bed, including utilities, or about 6% below market rate, said Pedro Avila, the school’s vice president of student services. He said the contract prohibits any rent increases without the college’s consent. Working with an experienced developer helped the college respond quickly after enrollment dropped in the wake of the wildfires, he said, as students unable to find housing began moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were at the point where it didn’t matter that we were able to provide support or vouchers, people were getting pushed out of the area,” said Avila. “We’re trying to do our part and increase the number of units available to our students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avila said he also hoped to find donors willing to subsidize rents for low-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges can sometimes underestimate the extra expenses that come with building housing, said \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/real-college-california-students-college-costs-food-financial-aid-goldrick-rab-hunger/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sara Goldrick-Rab\u003c/a>, a Temple University researcher who studies homelessness and food insecurity among students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With housing comes the need to build a whole bunch of other services. If you have students living on or around campus, they want campus dining to be open at different hours and they want libraries open at different hours,” she said. “It becomes a financial expense that is difficult for them to handle and ends up raising their prices even when they thought they wouldn’t be doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a building with hundreds of beds might make only a small dent in the housing market on a campus with tens of thousands of students. Traditional dorm-style living doesn’t work for students with families of their own, and community colleges will need to decide which students get priority in applying for the rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s probably going to be the most difficult conversation we haven’t had yet,” said Avila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community opposition can also derail a project. Last month, Ohlone College in Fremont scrapped plans for a mixed-use housing development after neighbors complained that it would worsen traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Colleges as social service agencies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, some advocates say providing housing is simply part of community colleges’ expanding mission. With rampant income inequality darkening the prospects for many young Californians, they say, colleges must play the role of social service agency if they want to remove the obstacles that can prevent students from graduating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the approach taken by Compton College president Keith Curry. The college recently updated its master plan to include 500 beds of student housing. It already provides free breakfast and lunch to students during finals week, and Curry is lobbying to create a free lunch program for community college students statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students are struggling; they need housing,” said Curry. “If we don’t do it, who’s going to do it for us? Who’s going to help the underserved? That’s our job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early evidence from a project in Washington State indicates that solving community college students’ housing woes can help them graduate. Tacoma Community College partnered with the local housing authority to subsidize housing for students at risk of homelessness. After the first year, 95% of the students who got the assistance remained enrolled in college, according to the housing authority, compared with 24% of applicants on the waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754092\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-2-e1560318521476.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754092\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-2-e1560318521476.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“It’s mainly that we want independence from our parents,” says Moe Irwin, whose disability benefits for a visual impairment cover his $925 per month shared dorm at Sierra College. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Community colleges have advantages that other affordable housing developers don’t, said Dana Cuff, a professor of architecture and director of UCLA’s CityLab, who is studying opportunities to build housing on Los Angeles Community College District campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every community college has land, either on their existing surface parking lots or in the air above their temporary classrooms,” she said. “And secondly, the zoning restrictions that apply elsewhere don’t apply.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The student housing of the future, she said, could include a range of options for different types of students: inexpensive hostels for super commuters who only need to stay at school a few nights a week, supportive housing for homeless students and cooperatives where residents reduce their housing costs by pitching in with cleaning and maintenance. Colleges can keep units affordable by developing their own expertise over time or working with non-profit developers, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Affordable housing isn’t an area where optimism reigns; it’s more like a battle,” she said. “But I feel positive that community colleges will make demonstration cases that others will learn from, and we’ll see a tipping point where community colleges will really see the advantages of providing housing for their students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Slots are set aside for athletes, most of whom come from outside the district, as well as international students and former foster-care youth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students pay $925 per month to share a double or quad room, which includes a meal plan that they can use in the cafeteria and nearby off-campus restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The price was right for Polamalu’s friend Moe Irwin, a natural science major who is visually impaired and uses his disability benefits to pay rent. Cluttered with the typical college student piles of clothes and books, the space he shares with a roommate is just big enough to fit the basics, plus a few sparkly dresses Irwin wears for drag performances.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s mainly that we want independence from our parents,” Irwin said. “We love them, but we recognize it’s time to go out on our own.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With rents in the Sacramento area rising, Irwin said, he would likely need to share a one-bedroom apartment with at least two other people if he wanted to live off campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754091\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-1-e1560318405116.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754091\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-1-e1560318405116.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Psychology major Matthew Polamalu chose to attend Sierra College because it offered on-campus housing. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Finding affordable solutions\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community college students facing similar dilemmas without the option of on-campus housing are increasingly resorting to couch surfing or living in their cars. As state lawmakers debate measures that would \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-college-affordability-bill-tracker/\">allow homeless students to park overnight\u003c/a> on campus and receive housing vouchers, building dorms offers an alternate path, one that colleges can pursue on their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it also means transforming the character of community college campuses and confronting thorny questions, such as how to actually make the units affordable to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Sierra College built, owns and manages its own residence hall, both Orange Coast College and Santa Rosa Junior College have opted for public-private partnerships with Servitas, a developer and The Scion Group, a management and consulting company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rents for the Santa Rosa project will be under $800 per bed, including utilities, or about 6% below market rate, said Pedro Avila, the school’s vice president of student services. He said the contract prohibits any rent increases without the college’s consent. Working with an experienced developer helped the college respond quickly after enrollment dropped in the wake of the wildfires, he said, as students unable to find housing began moving away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We were at the point where it didn’t matter that we were able to provide support or vouchers, people were getting pushed out of the area,” said Avila. “We’re trying to do our part and increase the number of units available to our students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Avila said he also hoped to find donors willing to subsidize rents for low-income students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Colleges can sometimes underestimate the extra expenses that come with building housing, said \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/real-college-california-students-college-costs-food-financial-aid-goldrick-rab-hunger/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sara Goldrick-Rab\u003c/a>, a Temple University researcher who studies homelessness and food insecurity among students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With housing comes the need to build a whole bunch of other services. If you have students living on or around campus, they want campus dining to be open at different hours and they want libraries open at different hours,” she said. “It becomes a financial expense that is difficult for them to handle and ends up raising their prices even when they thought they wouldn’t be doing that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even a building with hundreds of beds might make only a small dent in the housing market on a campus with tens of thousands of students. Traditional dorm-style living doesn’t work for students with families of their own, and community colleges will need to decide which students get priority in applying for the rooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s probably going to be the most difficult conversation we haven’t had yet,” said Avila.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community opposition can also derail a project. Last month, Ohlone College in Fremont scrapped plans for a mixed-use housing development after neighbors complained that it would worsen traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Colleges as social service agencies\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the challenges, some advocates say providing housing is simply part of community colleges’ expanding mission. With rampant income inequality darkening the prospects for many young Californians, they say, colleges must play the role of social service agency if they want to remove the obstacles that can prevent students from graduating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s the approach taken by Compton College president Keith Curry. The college recently updated its master plan to include 500 beds of student housing. It already provides free breakfast and lunch to students during finals week, and Curry is lobbying to create a free lunch program for community college students statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our students are struggling; they need housing,” said Curry. “If we don’t do it, who’s going to do it for us? Who’s going to help the underserved? That’s our job.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early evidence from a project in Washington State indicates that solving community college students’ housing woes can help them graduate. Tacoma Community College partnered with the local housing authority to subsidize housing for students at risk of homelessness. After the first year, 95% of the students who got the assistance remained enrolled in college, according to the housing authority, compared with 24% of applicants on the waitlist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11754092\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-2-e1560318521476.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11754092\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/06/community-college-housing-PHOTO-2-e1560318521476.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">“It’s mainly that we want independence from our parents,” says Moe Irwin, whose disability benefits for a visual impairment cover his $925 per month shared dorm at Sierra College. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters.)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Community colleges have advantages that other affordable housing developers don’t, said Dana Cuff, a professor of architecture and director of UCLA’s CityLab, who is studying opportunities to build housing on Los Angeles Community College District campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every community college has land, either on their existing surface parking lots or in the air above their temporary classrooms,” she said. “And secondly, the zoning restrictions that apply elsewhere don’t apply.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The student housing of the future, she said, could include a range of options for different types of students: inexpensive hostels for super commuters who only need to stay at school a few nights a week, supportive housing for homeless students and cooperatives where residents reduce their housing costs by pitching in with cleaning and maintenance. Colleges can keep units affordable by developing their own expertise over time or working with non-profit developers, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Affordable housing isn’t an area where optimism reigns; it’s more like a battle,” she said. “But I feel positive that community colleges will make demonstration cases that others will learn from, and we’ll see a tipping point where community colleges will really see the advantages of providing housing for their students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
