His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Also this week, San Francisco Mayor London Breed was shouted down during a public meeting to discuss her plan to build a controversial, 200-bed homeless navigation center along the Embarcadero. Meanwhile, on Capitol Hill, Democratic lawmakers granted the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee power to compel Attorney General William Barr to release the full report from special counsel Robert Mueller. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, politics correspondent, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sean Walsh, GOP political consultant, Wilson Walsh Consulting\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dominic Fracassa, City Hall reporter, San Francisco Chronicle \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>San Francisco’s Meth Epidemic\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Since 2011, methamphetamine-related deaths in San Francisco have doubled and emergency room visits to city hospitals have increased 600 percent. In response to the growing epidemic, a task force is being convened this spring by San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Rafael Mandelman to boost rehabilitation and treatment options for crystal meth users.

But a new state bill would help remove those barriers by requiring the state’s Department of Justice to use technology to automate clearing eligible arrest and conviction records. Under the proposed legislation, people would also no longer need to pay money or petition state courts to get their criminal records cleared.

But the most stressful part of her life is figuring out where to park the car that doubles as her home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every day she weighs her options: park overnight in a good neighborhood and risk having the cops called on her? Or park in a neighborhood where she worries about getting robbed or raped?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A bill meant to provide a temporary solution for students like Lopez passed its first legislative hurdle on Tuesday when it advanced from the Assembly Higher Education Committee to the chamber’s appropriations committee. The bill, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB302\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AB 302\u003c/a>, would require community colleges to grant overnight access to campus parking facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='homeless-college-students' label='More on Student Homelessness']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before the vote, members of the Assembly committee heard from homeless students and their allies who voiced their support, but both legislators and community college representatives also raised concerns over costs and logistics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Community college students make up nearly two-thirds of California’s undergraduates, and\u003ca href=\"https://hope4college.com/california-community-colleges-realcollege-survey/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> a recent survey\u003c/a> found almost 1 in 5 have been homeless in the last year. Most have jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This number is not only shocking and alarming and tragic, but it’s a call to action,” the bill’s author, Assemblymember Marc Berman of Palo Alto, said Tuesday at a press conference. “We can no longer pretend that community college student homelessness isn’t a crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berman acknowledged the measure is only a stopgap and that the only solution is to build more housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal isn’t to have community college students, or anybody, sleep in their vehicles,” he said. “We should be able to provide housing for residents at every income level. But we are far away from that goal in California today. The reality is that students are sleeping in their vehicles right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://cahomelessyouth.library.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Homeless Youth Project\u003c/a> Director Shahera Hyatt applauded the bill as a reprieve from the criminalization of homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know in most parts of the state it is not legal to park and stay in your car overnight even when you have no other options,” she said at the press conference.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill would require every community college district governing board to come up with a plan to roll out the new requirement; the California Community Colleges Chancellor, Eloy Ortiz Oakley, has not taken a position on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Angelica Lopez, San Jose community college student']‘We would know that we have a safe place to go, and not have to worry about where to park, where to sleep.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If signed into law, the overnight parking legislation would apply to any homeless student who is enrolled in classes and is in good standing with their community college. Schools would have until next summer to roll it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Lopez, the plan would make a big difference. She said having a stable place to stay every night surrounded by other students who share her predicament would be a big improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It would remove a little bit of that fear,” said Lopez (we’re using her middle name to protect her privacy). “I really hope that it is passed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She likes the idea of creating community with other homeless students and said the peace of mind would help them focus on school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We would know that we have a safe place to go,” she said, “and not have to worry about where to park, where to sleep.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the bill creates another set of worries for the man at the helm of Lopez’s community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wouldn’t want someone to stay here and some sort of crime takes place and they’re hurt,” said Evergreen Valley College President Keith Aytch. “That would be my biggest, biggest concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aytch said there were many logistics to consider. For starters, he’d have to hire security guards, set up some portable bathrooms and partner with outside groups that can help connect students with resources. He would likely also ask students to sign liability waivers before allowing them to sleep on campus grounds, and he worries about how homeowners around the campus would respond. “Will it impact property values?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Assemblymember Marc Berman of Palo Alto, and the bill’s author']‘The goal isn’t to have community college students, or anybody, sleep in their vehicles. We should be able to provide housing for residents at every income level. But we are far away from that goal in California today.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Tuesday’s hearing, some committee members and representatives from community colleges pushed to strip the overnight parking mandate from the bill, or instead create a pilot program with a sunset date and assessment period. They raised concerns about whether the state would kick in adequate funding to cover the costs to community colleges, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Aytch said he wants to support students like Lopez any way he can, even if that’s just a place to park. A campus survey found nearly 60 percent of students were housing insecure, while 15 percent were homeless, “primarily because the cost of living is extremely high,” Aytch said. A studio apartment in San Jose rents for over $1,700 a month, according to Apartment List’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/rental-price-data/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest data\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aytch also hopes to work toward better solutions, like building student housing on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The minds behind the recent report on California community college students’ basic needs have \u003ca href=\"https://hope4college.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Hope-TICAS-CCCCO-Brief.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a few recommendations\u003c/a> of their own, including financial aid reform, and additional supports to help students take advantage of available grant money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> law on the books\u003c/a> since 2016 requires community colleges to make campus shower facilities available to homeless students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

He listed some of the issues California has to deal with to improve the lives of kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An achievement gap in our schools and a readiness gap that holds back millions of our kids.

Just over $21 million of that aid — more than for any other college on the list — went to the University of Southern California, a school at the center of the cheating scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university declined to comment on its policies related to legacy admits but said in a statement that it was “currently reviewing all admissions procedures” and analyzing Ting’s bill. Legacy students made up about 19 percent of USC’s 2017-18 entering class, \u003ca href=\"https://admissionblog.usc.edu/the-trojan-family-legacy-students-applying-to-usc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to a post\u003c/a> on the university’s admissions blog; the university refers to them as “Scions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to us that our population of Scions is represented among the entering class,” the blog post reads, while noting that “there will always be legacy students … with very strong applications who don’t receive an offer of admission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford University, which accepted only 4 percent of applicants last year, includes legacy status in a range of factors that make up its holistic review process, spokesperson E.J. Miranda said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are studying the proposed legislation and look forward to engaging with the Legislature on this topic,” Miranda said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some private colleges and universities in the state, including the California Institute of Technology, eschew legacy preferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Holy Names University in Oakland, more than 70 percent of the 1,000-member student body receive Cal Grants, said spokesperson Sonia Caltvedt. But the legislation wouldn’t affect Holy Names, Caltvedt said, because its admissions process does not favor donors’ children, alumni children or athletes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our mission from the start has been all about access,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the bill were to pass, it would likely pose the most problems for highly selective colleges that want to foster alumni relationships but also rely on Cal Grant dollars to provide better financial aid packages to low-income students than they could fund on their own, said Jerome Lucido, director of the Center for Enrollment Research, Policy and Practice at USC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They would have to decide, ‘Are we going to lose our aid, or are we going to lose this eager, full-paying constituency?’ ” said Lucido, who formerly oversaw admissions for USC and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banning legacy admits on its own isn’t sufficient to ensure equity, Lucido said, because other admissions categories also favor families with more resources. He cited the early decision process, which requires applicants to be well-informed about their options and, in some cases, able to make a decision without comparing financial aid offers. Some colleges also measure students’ “demonstrated interest” in the school, which they can show by visiting in person, a trip that can cost too much for low-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extra boost that an applicant gets from being a child of an alumnus, Lucido added, may actually matter less than the simple advantage of coming from a home where college is seen as a priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That said, should [colleges] be practicing affirmative action for the wealthy?” he said. “I think, on the face of it, you have to say no.”\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>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The association also \u003ca href=\"https://www.aiccu.edu/2019/03/28/kristen-soares-statement-regarding-newly-proposed-legislation-harm-low-income-students/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">released a statement\u003c/a> saying that legacy applicants “have a unique connection to the institution” and that colleges should retain the right to consider that as part of their application.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/CALmatters-CALGRANT-Graphic.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-11737080 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/CALmatters-CALGRANT-Graphic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1817\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/CALmatters-CALGRANT-Graphic.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/CALmatters-CALGRANT-Graphic-160x142.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/CALmatters-CALGRANT-Graphic-800x710.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/CALmatters-CALGRANT-Graphic-1020x905.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/CALmatters-CALGRANT-Graphic-1200x1065.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/CALmatters-CALGRANT-Graphic-1920x1703.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\">\u003c/a>The state doled out $237 million in Cal Grant aid to private, nonprofit colleges and universities in the 2017-18 academic year. Just over $21 million of that aid — more than for any other college on the list — went to the University of Southern California, a school at the center of the cheating scandal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university declined to comment on its policies related to legacy admits but said in a statement that it was “currently reviewing all admissions procedures” and analyzing Ting’s bill. Legacy students made up about 19 percent of USC’s 2017-18 entering class, \u003ca href=\"https://admissionblog.usc.edu/the-trojan-family-legacy-students-applying-to-usc/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to a post\u003c/a> on the university’s admissions blog; the university refers to them as “Scions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important to us that our population of Scions is represented among the entering class,” the blog post reads, while noting that “there will always be legacy students … with very strong applications who don’t receive an offer of admission.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford University, which accepted only 4 percent of applicants last year, includes legacy status in a range of factors that make up its holistic review process, spokesperson E.J. Miranda said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are studying the proposed legislation and look forward to engaging with the Legislature on this topic,” Miranda said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some private colleges and universities in the state, including the California Institute of Technology, eschew legacy preferences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Holy Names University in Oakland, more than 70 percent of the 1,000-member student body receive Cal Grants, said spokesperson Sonia Caltvedt. But the legislation wouldn’t affect Holy Names, Caltvedt said, because its admissions process does not favor donors’ children, alumni children or athletes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our mission from the start has been all about access,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the bill were to pass, it would likely pose the most problems for highly selective colleges that want to foster alumni relationships but also rely on Cal Grant dollars to provide better financial aid packages to low-income students than they could fund on their own, said Jerome Lucido, director of the Center for Enrollment Research, Policy and Practice at USC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They would have to decide, ‘Are we going to lose our aid, or are we going to lose this eager, full-paying constituency?’ ” said Lucido, who formerly oversaw admissions for USC and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banning legacy admits on its own isn’t sufficient to ensure equity, Lucido said, because other admissions categories also favor families with more resources. He cited the early decision process, which requires applicants to be well-informed about their options and, in some cases, able to make a decision without comparing financial aid offers. Some colleges also measure students’ “demonstrated interest” in the school, which they can show by visiting in person, a trip that can cost too much for low-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The extra boost that an applicant gets from being a child of an alumnus, Lucido added, may actually matter less than the simple advantage of coming from a home where college is seen as a priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That said, should [colleges] be practicing affirmative action for the wealthy?” he said. “I think, on the face of it, you have to say no.”\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>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It was a busy time for her — it was late summer, she was in the middle of a divorce and she was juggling two jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did everything late because of what was going on at the time,\" she admitted. That included enrolling her daughter, Talia, for transitional kindergarten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rochelle decided to simply go with her neighborhood school, Sankofa Elementary. It checked off a lot of boxes: It was right down the street from her job, right around the corner from her house, and it had an after-school program. It seemed perfect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once school started, however, Rochelle began to have concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we had maybe two or three principals at the time during that school year,\" said Rochelle. \"It was just a lot of things. Coming in, picking up my child and she's watching TV!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't until Rochelle met parents from a local activist group called Oakland Reach that she learned the school's test scores were far below state standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those same parents also told her about a way to try to enroll her children in better schools, through a process called \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bvi9-eyv1UNmhNVC5NLhFH6oqLsmpMBGyTz_5qfF698/edit#heading=h.1d9hubvmtqh0\">open enrollment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no public announcement for this,\" said Rochelle. \"It's a secret. A well-kept secret.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Oakland's open enrollment period, parents of kindergartners and students transitioning into middle or high schools can indicate and rank their school preferences. It's also when students in any grade can try to change schools. Parents must submit applications between November and February for both OUSD and charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/ww2.kqed_.orgRootsIntlAcademy-904e89000bb3a3b5faf9d7ed22495b4925880e47.jpg\" label=\"Oakland Schools: Put to the Test\" link1=\"https://www.kqed.org/oaklandschools,Follow our coverage of Oakland schools\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents are notified of their child's placement in mid-March and must make a final decision about enrollment by April 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland parents who understand the enrollment process can start researching their options months in advance, and not surprisingly, most who apply request the city's best-ranked schools, both district-run and charter.

Parents who apply during the initial enrollment window have a real advantage. According to the district's enrollment director, Charles Wilson, 66 percent of families who applied during the main enrollment period last year got their first choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those who don't know about open enrollment or miss the deadline can find themselves in long lines trying to switch schools right before the beginning of the school year, when most in-demand schools have already filled up.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>'Concentration of Advantage'\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Peralta Elementary is one of the most requested schools in Oakland and is located in a neighborhood where homes are valued at over $1 million. One parent of a Peralta student,\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>Jonathan Osler, is questioning Oakland's current enrollment system, which is largely based upon neighborhood boundaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What this means is, if you can't afford to live in the neighborhood, you have very little chance of getting into this school,\" Osler said. \"We are in a district where the kids are segregated along lines of race and class, and resources are segregated along those lines as well.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Osler said he was able to afford a house in a neighborhood that is within Peralta's attendance zone, which meant his child had priority to be enrolled there.

It was a busy time for her — it was late summer, she was in the middle of a divorce and she was juggling two jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did everything late because of what was going on at the time,\" she admitted. That included enrolling her daughter, Talia, for transitional kindergarten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rochelle decided to simply go with her neighborhood school, Sankofa Elementary. It checked off a lot of boxes: It was right down the street from her job, right around the corner from her house, and it had an after-school program. It seemed perfect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once school started, however, Rochelle began to have concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think we had maybe two or three principals at the time during that school year,\" said Rochelle. \"It was just a lot of things. Coming in, picking up my child and she's watching TV!\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn't until Rochelle met parents from a local activist group called Oakland Reach that she learned the school's test scores were far below state standards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those same parents also told her about a way to try to enroll her children in better schools, through a process called \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bvi9-eyv1UNmhNVC5NLhFH6oqLsmpMBGyTz_5qfF698/edit#heading=h.1d9hubvmtqh0\">open enrollment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's no public announcement for this,\" said Rochelle. \"It's a secret. A well-kept secret.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During Oakland's open enrollment period, parents of kindergartners and students transitioning into middle or high schools can indicate and rank their school preferences. It's also when students in any grade can try to change schools.

This year, it’s\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/12/702539140/u-s-accuses-actresses-others-of-fraud-in-wide-college-admissions-scandal\"> a scandal \u003c/a>involving rich parents and a criminal scheme to get their children into universities like Yale, Stanford and the University of Southern California. Fifty people have been charged in a scam that allegedly includes cheating on the SAT and ACT and bribing unscrupulous coaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By highlighting flaws in the college admissions process, these stories illustrate the deep inequities in access to the United States’ elite universities. And the debate is surfacing some out-of-the-box ideas about what an alternative might look like. For example: What about a lottery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rick Hess, who directs education policy at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/frederickhess/2019/03/15/a-modest-proposal-regarding-college-admissions/#113ab38c1fe5\">proposed the idea \u003c/a>in a \u003cem>Forbes \u003c/em>piece on March 15:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Maybe elite colleges should put their money where their mouth is when they pontificate about the need to democratize opportunity, take a page out of the K-12 charter school book, and switch to lottery admissions.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In other words, pull names out of a hat. Anyone with a high school diploma could end up at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. No more pricey SAT tutors, no more legacy bumps, no more sweating bullets over college essays, no more College Board — and a lot less work for guidance counselors too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hess\u003ca href=\"https://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/rick_hess_straight_up/2019/03/7_questions_about_an_elite_college_admissions_lottery.html\"> later called this, cheekily, a “modest proposal” and acknowledged \u003c/a>it would face many practical obstacles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in February, the progressive think tank New America proposed the \u003ca href=\"https://s3.amazonaws.com/newamericadotorg/documents/Supporting_Students_of_Color_in_Higher_Education_New_America.pdf\">same idea\u003c/a> in all sincerity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four Democratic senators, including presidential candidates Elizabeth Warren and Kamala Harris, \u003ca href=\"https://www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/Borrowers%20of%20Color%20Letter%20Jan%202019.pdf\">requested policy ideas\u003c/a> to increase racial equity in higher education. Along with big changes to financial aid, New America proposed the “radical” ideas of banning legacy admissions as a condition of receiving federal aid and “requiring” elite institutions to “participate in a lottery-based admissions system where anyone who has a minimum SAT or ACT score and/or GPA can enter the lottery for free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of a meritocracy in higher education is a joke,” says Rachel Fishman, the deputy director of education policy research at New America. “I was trying to think of a more radical proposal that would be more meritocratic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Better standards than test scores\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a subset of privileged and striving Americans, this would come as a huge shock. Hess of the American Enterprise Institute is among those pointing out that an admissions lottery would be a “huge blow” to the prestige of elite colleges, not to mention hiring practices in the corporate world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let’s put aside for a moment how feasible the idea is. Would it even work as advertised?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Match and the OneApp\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have some empirical evidence to point to. Entry processes with an element of randomness are found throughout the world — in \u003ca href=\"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/10408347308003591\">Turkey\u003c/a>, the Netherlands, the U.K. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.conallboyle.com/lottery/RAND_LEduMay07.pdf\">for certain courses of study\u003c/a>) and New Zealand and Sweden (\u003ca href=\"http://www.conallboyle.com/lottery/RAND_LEduMay07.pdf\">for K-12\u003c/a> schools). Usually they are not pure lotteries. Students typically have to meet some kind of criteria on transcripts and test scores and list their choices in order. A central system tries to marry the schools’ and students’ preferences to get the best outcome for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example in the U.S. is the National Resident Matching Program, known as The Match, for future doctors. The math involved in optimizing medical students’ choices of residency programs and those programs’ choices of students is so complicated that Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2012/10/15/162963652/americans-win-economics-nobel-for-market-design\">won the 2012 Nobel Prize\u003c/a> in economics for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As K-12 school choice policies have expanded in the U.S., there has been increasing interest in adapting The Match to try to create more fairness, equity and transparency for everyone. For example, New Orleans transitioned to a nearly 100 percent charter district after Hurricane Katrina. With no more neighborhood schools, families, overwhelmingly poor and African-American, struggled to manage the varying deadlines and requirements for charter school entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s solution: a single application, aptly \u003ca href=\"https://enrollnola.org/about/about-oneapp/\">called OneApp\u003c/a>, to match students with preferred schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OneApp was mainly intended to make the process less chaotic and burdensome so it would at least \u003cem>seem\u003c/em> fair,” says Douglas Harris of the Education Research Alliance at Tulane University. Through the adoption of OneApp, “the system gained more credibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris has studied the OneApp process extensively, and he says that unfortunately, OneApp hasn’t really made schools more fair. New Orleans schools are no less segregated — by race, income or test scores — than before OneApp. As \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/the-end-of-neighborhood-schools/\">one grandmother told us\u003c/a> when we reported from New Orleans: “You take what they give you. That’s not choice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parag Pathak, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, helped design OneApp. He played a part in designing school-choice systems in Boston; Chicago; Denver; Newark, N.J.; New York; and Washington, D.C. Like Harris, he agrees the main benefit of admissions lotteries is that they set ground rules everyone can agree on: “They make the process transparent in terms of the rules.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pathak has a negative, but striking, example of that transparency: In 2018, Antwan Wilson, then the chancellor of Washington, D.C., public schools, broke the rules of the city’s lottery system — rules he himself had just overhauled — to transfer his daughter into a coveted high school ahead of 600 people on the waiting list. The ethics violation was clear, and Wilson was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/dc-public-schools-leader-to-resign-after-skirting-school-assignment-rules/2018/02/20/9b372230-1662-11e8-92c9-376b4fe57ff7_story.html?utm_term=.dabec5197ef3\">forced to resign\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More credible, more transparent, less chaotic, less burdensome — these changes would surely be a balm for critics of the admissions process at elite colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even with lotteries, schools find a way to gate-keep\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Pathak and Harris aren’t so sure, based on their research, that a lottery would actually produce more fairness or equity in higher education — for poor students, students of color or anyone else. They argue that it hasn’t done that for K-12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason? Let’s return to New Orleans for a second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>K-12 schools in the Big Easy are similar to colleges in terms of demand. Just \u003ca href=\"https://www.nacacnet.org/globalassets/documents/publications/research/2018_soca/soca18.pdf\">one in five colleges is actually selective\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Harris says only about 20 percent of the city’s schools have more applications than students — in other words, they are “oversubscribed,” meaning seats must be allocated by lottery. These schools also draw a group of white, affluent applicants who will head to private schools if they don’t get into their small number of preferred charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other 80 percent of schools, like 80 percent of colleges, have more seats than applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the competition is so concentrated in a handful of schools, opportunities to “sort and screen” students keep creeping back into the system, Pathak says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Centralized systems require a lot of maintenance,” he says, sounding a bit like a beleaguered janitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his upcoming book, Harris describes a total of 20 ways that the elite schools “sort and screen” to maintain their eliteness, like their location in a rich or poor neighborhood, the programs they choose to offer or even encouraging current parents to recommend the school to their friends. Intentional or not, this kind of signaling undermines open access, Harris says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or take New York City. It has a citywide system of ranked-choice matching, like OneApp for middle and high schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students have hundreds of schools to choose from, and individual high schools had trouble figuring out which students really wanted to go to them. So they created an “open-house priority” for students who demonstrated interest by coming to an open house.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The not-very-surprising outcome? Teens with two working parents who were not native English speakers had a harder time navigating across boroughs to show up to open houses months before the high school application was due. Nor did they necessarily understand the importance of doing so. So New York City nixed the open-house priority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But still, people are focused on \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/19/704893517/freshman-class-for-nycs-top-public-high-school-includes-7-black-students-out-of-\">eight high schools \u003c/a>out of the hundreds in the city — the ones that have a special standardized test for admissions and that admit tiny numbers of black students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What education researchers like Harris and Pathak really wish everyone would do is stop worrying so much about admissions. For that to happen, they have to stop confusing selective schools with good schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s unfortunate there’s so much attention on a handful of schools that don’t represent the schools that most students go to,” says Pathak. “My own view? There’s a lot of other things we should be thinking about.” For example: making all the schools better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

This year, it’s\u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/03/12/702539140/u-s-accuses-actresses-others-of-fraud-in-wide-college-admissions-scandal\"> a scandal \u003c/a>involving rich parents and a criminal scheme to get their children into universities like Yale, Stanford and the University of Southern California. Fifty people have been charged in a scam that allegedly includes cheating on the SAT and ACT and bribing unscrupulous coaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By highlighting flaws in the college admissions process, these stories illustrate the deep inequities in access to the United States’ elite universities. And the debate is surfacing some out-of-the-box ideas about what an alternative might look like. For example: What about a lottery?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rick Hess, who directs education policy at the conservative American Enterprise Institute, \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/frederickhess/2019/03/15/a-modest-proposal-regarding-college-admissions/#113ab38c1fe5\">proposed the idea \u003c/a>in a \u003cem>Forbes \u003c/em>piece on March 15:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Maybe elite colleges should put their money where their mouth is when they pontificate about the need to democratize opportunity, take a page out of the K-12 charter school book, and switch to lottery admissions.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In other words, pull names out of a hat. Anyone with a high school diploma could end up at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. No more pricey SAT tutors, no more legacy bumps, no more sweating bullets over college essays, no more College Board — and a lot less work for guidance counselors too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Along with big changes to financial aid, New America proposed the “radical” ideas of banning legacy admissions as a condition of receiving federal aid and “requiring” elite institutions to “participate in a lottery-based admissions system where anyone who has a minimum SAT or ACT score and/or GPA can enter the lottery for free.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea of a meritocracy in higher education is a joke,” says Rachel Fishman, the deputy director of education policy research at New America. “I was trying to think of a more radical proposal that would be more meritocratic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Better standards than test scores\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a subset of privileged and striving Americans, this would come as a huge shock. Hess of the American Enterprise Institute is among those pointing out that an admissions lottery would be a “huge blow” to the prestige of elite colleges, not to mention hiring practices in the corporate world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But let’s put aside for a moment how feasible the idea is. Would it even work as advertised?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The Match and the OneApp\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have some empirical evidence to point to. Entry processes with an element of randomness are found throughout the world — in \u003ca href=\"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/10408347308003591\">Turkey\u003c/a>, the Netherlands, the U.K. (\u003ca href=\"http://www.conallboyle.com/lottery/RAND_LEduMay07.pdf\">for certain courses of study\u003c/a>) and New Zealand and Sweden (\u003ca href=\"http://www.conallboyle.com/lottery/RAND_LEduMay07.pdf\">for K-12\u003c/a> schools). Usually they are not pure lotteries. Students typically have to meet some kind of criteria on transcripts and test scores and list their choices in order. A central system tries to marry the schools’ and students’ preferences to get the best outcome for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One example in the U.S. is the National Resident Matching Program, known as The Match, for future doctors. The math involved in optimizing medical students’ choices of residency programs and those programs’ choices of students is so complicated that Lloyd Shapley and Alvin Roth \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2012/10/15/162963652/americans-win-economics-nobel-for-market-design\">won the 2012 Nobel Prize\u003c/a> in economics for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As K-12 school choice policies have expanded in the U.S., there has been increasing interest in adapting The Match to try to create more fairness, equity and transparency for everyone. For example, New Orleans transitioned to a nearly 100 percent charter district after Hurricane Katrina. With no more neighborhood schools, families, overwhelmingly poor and African-American, struggled to manage the varying deadlines and requirements for charter school entry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city’s solution: a single application, aptly \u003ca href=\"https://enrollnola.org/about/about-oneapp/\">called OneApp\u003c/a>, to match students with preferred schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OneApp was mainly intended to make the process less chaotic and burdensome so it would at least \u003cem>seem\u003c/em> fair,” says Douglas Harris of the Education Research Alliance at Tulane University. Through the adoption of OneApp, “the system gained more credibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harris has studied the OneApp process extensively, and he says that unfortunately, OneApp hasn’t really made schools more fair. New Orleans schools are no less segregated — by race, income or test scores — than before OneApp. As \u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/the-end-of-neighborhood-schools/\">one grandmother told us\u003c/a> when we reported from New Orleans: “You take what they give you. That’s not choice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parag Pathak, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, helped design OneApp. He played a part in designing school-choice systems in Boston; Chicago; Denver; Newark, N.J.; New York; and Washington, D.C. Like Harris, he agrees the main benefit of admissions lotteries is that they set ground rules everyone can agree on: “They make the process transparent in terms of the rules.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pathak has a negative, but striking, example of that transparency: In 2018, Antwan Wilson, then the chancellor of Washington, D.C., public schools, broke the rules of the city’s lottery system — rules he himself had just overhauled — to transfer his daughter into a coveted high school ahead of 600 people on the waiting list. The ethics violation was clear, and Wilson was \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/dc-public-schools-leader-to-resign-after-skirting-school-assignment-rules/2018/02/20/9b372230-1662-11e8-92c9-376b4fe57ff7_story.html?utm_term=.dabec5197ef3\">forced to resign\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More credible, more transparent, less chaotic, less burdensome — these changes would surely be a balm for critics of the admissions process at elite colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Even with lotteries, schools find a way to gate-keep\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Pathak and Harris aren’t so sure, based on their research, that a lottery would actually produce more fairness or equity in higher education — for poor students, students of color or anyone else. They argue that it hasn’t done that for K-12.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reason? Let’s return to New Orleans for a second.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>K-12 schools in the Big Easy are similar to colleges in terms of demand. Just \u003ca href=\"https://www.nacacnet.org/globalassets/documents/publications/research/2018_soca/soca18.pdf\">one in five colleges is actually selective\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly, Harris says only about 20 percent of the city’s schools have more applications than students — in other words, they are “oversubscribed,” meaning seats must be allocated by lottery. These schools also draw a group of white, affluent applicants who will head to private schools if they don’t get into their small number of preferred charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other 80 percent of schools, like 80 percent of colleges, have more seats than applicants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the competition is so concentrated in a handful of schools, opportunities to “sort and screen” students keep creeping back into the system, Pathak says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Centralized systems require a lot of maintenance,” he says, sounding a bit like a beleaguered janitor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his upcoming book, Harris describes a total of 20 ways that the elite schools “sort and screen” to maintain their eliteness, like their location in a rich or poor neighborhood, the programs they choose to offer or even encouraging current parents to recommend the school to their friends.
