"content": "\u003cp>Trump administration lawyers are defending their new rules on how campuses should handle cases of sexual assault. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos issued the new guidance last fall, after scrapping Obama-era rules that she said were forcing schools to violate the due process rights of the accused. But survivors’ advocates filed a federal lawsuit shortly after, arguing DeVos’ replacement guidelines discriminate against alleged victims and discourage them from reporting assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The message that is sent is that the administration believes that women who report sexual harassment and violence are liars,” says Jennifer Reisch, legal director of Equal Rights Advocates, one of three groups who brought the lawsuit. She spoke to reporters Thursday, after a hearing on the lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos’ interim guidelines allow schools to demand a higher standard of evidence that would make it tougher to prove an assault, permit schools to hear appeals only from the accused, and let investigations go on for an indefinite amount of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that was allowed in the Obama era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prior administration also used to require schools to protect alleged victims during investigations; now, that’s up to schools’ discretion. And the old norm of making the accused student stay away from the accuser is now considered unfair. Schools are supposed to be even-handed — prompting some to rely on “no-contact” orders that apply mutually to both students. But Reisch argues that putting the onus on alleged victims unfairly punishes them, by restricting where they can go and live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is sending a message that you come forward at your peril,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robin Thurston, a senior counsel for the Democracy Forward Foundation and one of the attorneys bringing the lawsuit against the Trump administration’s guidance says that “survivors are being chilled from coming forward.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The guidance harms women,” Thurston says. “And we think there’s really significant evidence that the decision-makers at the Department of Education were motivated by a view that women and girls in general make false accusations of sexual assault. And the law is very clear that if the government was motivated by a discriminatory mindset, that’s unconstitutional.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit cites public comments from DeVos that plaintiffs say exaggerate the problem of false accusations. It also \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2017/07/13/537082095/education-department-official-apologizes-for-flippant-campus-sexual-assault-comm\">points to a comment\u003c/a> from the then-acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Candice Jackson, who told \u003cem>The New York Times\u003c/em> last summer that she believed “90 percent” of campus sexual assault allegations are really just about drunk sex, or morning-after regrets. Jackson later apologized for the “flippant” remark, insisting it poorly characterized her actual beliefs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit also cites comments from President Trump, who has dismissed women who’ve accused him as “phony accusers” out for “some free fame.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This discriminatory and stereotyped view of women and girls has become formal White House policy” the suit argues, and the “administration’s animus toward woman gives license to … Executive branch decision makers who share the same discriminatory views.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government officials declined to comment on pending litigation, but in court papers, attorneys argue that a “handful of statements” do not prove “sexism” or discriminatory intent. They argue the case should be thrown out on procedural grounds, because the plaintiffs haven’t sufficiently established that they were harmed by the new guidance, and because the guidance is only temporary anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Justin Dillon, who represents students accused of sexual assault and who’s not involved with the case, calls it “completely frivolous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-800x600.jpg\" alt='Sonja Breda, 23, right, holds a sign saying \"Stop Betsy\" as a group of survivors of sexual violence and their supporters gathered to protest proposed changes to Title IX before a speech by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Sept. 7, 2017, at the George Mason University Arlington, Va., campus.' width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681657\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sonja Breda, 23, right, holds a sign saying “Stop Betsy” as a group of survivors of sexual violence and their supporters gathered to protest proposed changes to Title IX before a speech by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Sept. 7, 2017, at the George Mason University Arlington, Va., campus. \u003ccite>(Jacquelyn Martin/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dillon was the lawyer who sued the Obama administration in 2016, arguing its guidance was unlawful because it didn’t go through the proper approval process. But he says that case was different because it specifically named a student and a school harmed by the policy. That lawsuit was withdrawn after the Obama-era guidance was revoked by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dillon calls DeVos’ September 2017 guidance a “good tonal shift, and a good signal to universities that the era of ignoring due process is over.” While he says he’s disappointed that it hasn’t yet sparked more changes in campus policies, he says campuses that are making changes are making things more fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, he says DeVos’ new rules protect students from being “ambushed” without knowing the charges or evidence against them, and interim measures now tend to be less “draconian.” And if not, Dillon says, the new guidance makes it easier to assert accused students’ due process rights, as happened when a school kicked one of his clients off campus while an investigation was still pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to them and cited the guidance and said, ‘You can’t do this, you’re interfering with his education,’ ” he recalls. “And in that case I was able to persuade them to let him back on campus.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For schools, the change has brought some measure of confusion. Most are taking a wait-and-see approach, as DeVos is expected to propose permanent rules this fall. It may take until the end of the school year, or longer, for those rules to be finalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, campuses continue to face lawsuits from alleged victims and increasingly successful legal challenges from accused students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a lot of ways, it does feel like you’re a bit caught in the middle,” says Martha Alexander, executive director of the Office Of Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity and Title IX coordinator for the University of Kentucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UK just changed its policy in June. It keeps the standard of evidence low, but Alexander says “to make it a more balanced policy to make sure all parties had a fair shot,” it builds in more due process protections for accused students. Hearing panels now need to be unanimous when finding a student at fault, and only accused students are now allowed to bring appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that this policy, and these changes, really is a step towards getting to a more fair system,” Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many campuses say they welcome what they see as more freedom to set rules as they see fit, with less onerous oversight from the government. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter McDonough, vice president and general counsel for the American Council on Education, a group that represents college and university presidents, says many college presidents are no longer operating in constant fear of the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which oversees enforcement of Title IX, the federal law that bars gender discrimination in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the days of the Obama administration, when an individual student complained to the OCR about his or her school, the office would not only investigate that case — it would automatically trigger a systemic investigation of the school, checking for anything else that might be amiss, which could take years. Campuses felt investigations would stay open “until something was found,” McDonough says, which was viewed as a “gotcha approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Trump administration, a student complaint to the government is treated more like an isolated incident. McDonough says schools now see the government as more ally than adversary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Catherine Lhamon, assistant secretary for civil rights in the Department of Education during the Obama administration, says the OCR must be more aggressive in trying to uncover whether schools are handling all cases fairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the government only investigates [complaints that a student] thinks to bring to the government, the government’s not doing its job,” she says. “And I worry every day that [schools are getting] effectively a pass on complying with the law. And that will ruin young lives,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the Trump administration’s approach prompts some schools to ease up on how they handle sexual assault cases, it’s also already prompting others schools to double down, according to Andrew Miltenberg, an attorney who has represented hundreds of accused students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s driven very much by personal politics … as opposed to institutional policy,” he says. “There has been a very palpable sense of, ‘Hell no! Women have rights, and I’m not turning around and changing how we treat rape victims just because we have Donald Trump as a president.’ I’ve heard it too many times to discount,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Miltenberg says policy corrections are needed, but they must be consistent and measured. Campuses that flout due process protections are as troubling, he says, as schools that are now meting out probations for offenses that used to get expulsions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos issued the new guidance last fall, after scrapping Obama-era rules that she said were forcing schools to violate the due process rights of the accused. But survivors’ advocates filed a federal lawsuit shortly after, arguing DeVos’ replacement guidelines discriminate against alleged victims and discourage them from reporting assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The message that is sent is that the administration believes that women who report sexual harassment and violence are liars,” says Jennifer Reisch, legal director of Equal Rights Advocates, one of three groups who brought the lawsuit. She spoke to reporters Thursday, after a hearing on the lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos’ interim guidelines allow schools to demand a higher standard of evidence that would make it tougher to prove an assault, permit schools to hear appeals only from the accused, and let investigations go on for an indefinite amount of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that was allowed in the Obama era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prior administration also used to require schools to protect alleged victims during investigations; now, that’s up to schools’ discretion. And the old norm of making the accused student stay away from the accuser is now considered unfair. Schools are supposed to be even-handed — prompting some to rely on “no-contact” orders that apply mutually to both students. But Reisch argues that putting the onus on alleged victims unfairly punishes them, by restricting where they can go and live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And the law is very clear that if the government was motivated by a discriminatory mindset, that’s unconstitutional.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit cites public comments from DeVos that plaintiffs say exaggerate the problem of false accusations.

Jackson later apologized for the “flippant” remark, insisting it poorly characterized her actual beliefs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit also cites comments from President Trump, who has dismissed women who’ve accused him as “phony accusers” out for “some free fame.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This discriminatory and stereotyped view of women and girls has become formal White House policy” the suit argues, and the “administration’s animus toward woman gives license to … Executive branch decision makers who share the same discriminatory views.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Government officials declined to comment on pending litigation, but in court papers, attorneys argue that a “handful of statements” do not prove “sexism” or discriminatory intent. They argue the case should be thrown out on procedural grounds, because the plaintiffs haven’t sufficiently established that they were harmed by the new guidance, and because the guidance is only temporary anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Defense attorney Justin Dillon, who represents students accused of sexual assault and who’s not involved with the case, calls it “completely frivolous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11681657\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-800x600.jpg\" alt='Sonja Breda, 23, right, holds a sign saying \"Stop Betsy\" as a group of survivors of sexual violence and their supporters gathered to protest proposed changes to Title IX before a speech by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Sept. 7, 2017, at the George Mason University Arlington, Va., campus.' width=\"800\" height=\"600\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11681657\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-1920x1440.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/ap_17250578528580-e29ca125915e0a954a2f2c4c03069c9f19ad33b3-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sonja Breda, 23, right, holds a sign saying “Stop Betsy” as a group of survivors of sexual violence and their supporters gathered to protest proposed changes to Title IX before a speech by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos on Sept. 7, 2017, at the George Mason University Arlington, Va., campus. \u003ccite>(Jacquelyn Martin/AP)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Dillon was the lawyer who sued the Obama administration in 2016, arguing its guidance was unlawful because it didn’t go through the proper approval process. But he says that case was different because it specifically named a student and a school harmed by the policy. That lawsuit was withdrawn after the Obama-era guidance was revoked by the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dillon calls DeVos’ September 2017 guidance a “good tonal shift, and a good signal to universities that the era of ignoring due process is over.” While he says he’s disappointed that it hasn’t yet sparked more changes in campus policies, he says campuses that are making changes are making things more fair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, he says DeVos’ new rules protect students from being “ambushed” without knowing the charges or evidence against them, and interim measures now tend to be less “draconian.” And if not, Dillon says, the new guidance makes it easier to assert accused students’ due process rights, as happened when a school kicked one of his clients off campus while an investigation was still pending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to them and cited the guidance and said, ‘You can’t do this, you’re interfering with his education,’ ” he recalls. “And in that case I was able to persuade them to let him back on campus.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For schools, the change has brought some measure of confusion. Most are taking a wait-and-see approach, as DeVos is expected to propose permanent rules this fall. It may take until the end of the school year, or longer, for those rules to be finalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, campuses continue to face lawsuits from alleged victims and increasingly successful legal challenges from accused students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In a lot of ways, it does feel like you’re a bit caught in the middle,” says Martha Alexander, executive director of the Office Of Institutional Equity and Equal Opportunity and Title IX coordinator for the University of Kentucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UK just changed its policy in June. It keeps the standard of evidence low, but Alexander says “to make it a more balanced policy to make sure all parties had a fair shot,” it builds in more due process protections for accused students. Hearing panels now need to be unanimous when finding a student at fault, and only accused students are now allowed to bring appeals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that this policy, and these changes, really is a step towards getting to a more fair system,” Alexander says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many campuses say they welcome what they see as more freedom to set rules as they see fit, with less onerous oversight from the government. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter McDonough, vice president and general counsel for the American Council on Education, a group that represents college and university presidents, says many college presidents are no longer operating in constant fear of the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, which oversees enforcement of Title IX, the federal law that bars gender discrimination in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in the days of the Obama administration, when an individual student complained to the OCR about his or her school, the office would not only investigate that case — it would automatically trigger a systemic investigation of the school, checking for anything else that might be amiss, which could take years. Campuses felt investigations would stay open “until something was found,” McDonough says, which was viewed as a “gotcha approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Trump administration, a student complaint to the government is treated more like an isolated incident. McDonough says schools now see the government as more ally than adversary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Catherine Lhamon, assistant secretary for civil rights in the Department of Education during the Obama administration, says the OCR must be more aggressive in trying to uncover whether schools are handling all cases fairly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If the government only investigates [complaints that a student] thinks to bring to the government, the government’s not doing its job,” she says. “And I worry every day that [schools are getting] effectively a pass on complying with the law. And that will ruin young lives,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But if the Trump administration’s approach prompts some schools to ease up on how they handle sexual assault cases, it’s also already prompting others schools to double down, according to Andrew Miltenberg, an attorney who has represented hundreds of accused students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s driven very much by personal politics … as opposed to institutional policy,” he says. “There has been a very palpable sense of, ‘Hell no! Women have rights, and I’m not turning around and changing how we treat rape victims just because we have Donald Trump as a president.’ I’ve heard it too many times to discount,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gov. Jerry Brown signed a budget for the 2018-2019 year that boosts support for UC by nearly $350 million — though much of that is in one-time funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think your advocacy was extraordinary. I think the way you organize and the message you delivered is the reason why we’re sitting here today so much better than we were a year ago,” regent Sherry Lansing told students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The love fest was a far cry from the often-adversarial relationship between student activists and regents in the past. One reason: UC has needed student voices to make a compelling case to legislators jaded by university \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Auditor-rips-UC-for-keeping-millions-in-secret-11097470.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial scandals\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The partnership with students came about because of “some of the attitudes in the Legislature about the university and the sense that we needed to address those,” said Board of Regents chair George Kieffer. He said he is making a point to attend student association meetings so the discussion can continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“UC’s adapting because they’re realizing that what’s been done in the past wasn’t working,” said Siegel Singh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the new collaboration, regents’ meetings can still be a forbidding environment for some students. Police barricades surrounded the conference center on UCSF’s Mission Bay campus, where Wednesday’s meeting took place. Public comment began at the decidedly non-student-friendly hour of 8:30 a.m. and wrapped up in less than two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley undergraduate Stephanie Luna, there to ask regents to divest from companies involved in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, said the $60 tuition reprieve wouldn’t affect her much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the cost of attendance is about $30,000 a year — even more for out-of-state students — $60 is pocket change,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the slight decrease after years of tuition hikes was a symbolic victory, said Max Lubin, a Berkeley graduate student and former Obama administration staffer who founded the student lobbying group \u003ca href=\"https://carise.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rise Inc.\u003c/a> to fight for tuition-free college. The group has brought a sheen of professionalism to students’ grass-roots organizing, incorporating as a 501(c)4 and offering paid fellowships for students to do advocacy work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we continue to do what we did this year,” Lubin said, “we can roll tuition back, and we can roll it back to zero.”\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>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California’s policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC regents’ bimonthly meeting today, student association leaders gave a presentation on how they had mobilized dozens of students to testify at state budget hearings, flooded legislators with phone calls and leveraged social media with the hashtag \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/search?q=%23FundTheUC&src=tyah\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">#FundTheUC\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strategy paid off. Gov. Jerry Brown signed a budget for the 2018-2019 year that boosts support for UC by nearly $350 million — though much of that is in one-time funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think your advocacy was extraordinary. I think the way you organize and the message you delivered is the reason why we’re sitting here today so much better than we were a year ago,” regent Sherry Lansing told students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The love fest was a far cry from the often-adversarial relationship between student activists and regents in the past. One reason: UC has needed student voices to make a compelling case to legislators jaded by university \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Auditor-rips-UC-for-keeping-millions-in-secret-11097470.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">financial scandals\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The partnership with students came about because of “some of the attitudes in the Legislature about the university and the sense that we needed to address those,” said Board of Regents chair George Kieffer. He said he is making a point to attend student association meetings so the discussion can continue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“UC’s adapting because they’re realizing that what’s been done in the past wasn’t working,” said Siegel Singh.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the new collaboration, regents’ meetings can still be a forbidding environment for some students. Police barricades surrounded the conference center on UCSF’s Mission Bay campus, where Wednesday’s meeting took place. Public comment began at the decidedly non-student-friendly hour of 8:30 a.m. and wrapped up in less than two hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley undergraduate Stephanie Luna, there to ask regents to divest from companies involved in the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown, said the $60 tuition reprieve wouldn’t affect her much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the cost of attendance is about $30,000 a year — even more for out-of-state students — $60 is pocket change,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the slight decrease after years of tuition hikes was a symbolic victory, said Max Lubin, a Berkeley graduate student and former Obama administration staffer who founded the student lobbying group \u003ca href=\"https://carise.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rise Inc.\u003c/a> to fight for tuition-free college. The group has brought a sheen of professionalism to students’ grass-roots organizing, incorporating as a 501(c)4 and offering paid fellowships for students to do advocacy work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we continue to do what we did this year,” Lubin said, “we can roll tuition back, and we can roll it back to zero.”\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>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California’s policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Her mission: track down skeletons of Native Californians extracted from gravesites over the last two centuries and shipped off to museums around the world, and return them to the tribe’s ancestral land near Temecula so they can be reburied with dignity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lately that quest has put Masiel at odds with her alma mater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The remains of thousands of Native Americans, along with possessions such as beads and fishhooks buried with them, now sit in drawers and boxes at University of California museums. Federal and state laws require their return to tribes able to prove a connection to them. Some tribes accuse university officials of delaying so professors can continue to study the bones, and are pushing state \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2836\">legislation\u003c/a> to force UC to speed its efforts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As an anthropologist, you don’t own what you’re taking care of. They’re in your care,” said Masiel. “But I think the research community does feel that they own them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over decades, archaeologists and common looters excavated Native American cemeteries—some even motivated by the racist eugenics movement, which compared skull shapes to attempt to prove white superiority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1990, U.S. \u003ca href=\"https://www.nps.gov/nagpra/mandates/25usc3001etseq.htm\">law\u003c/a> began requiring federally funded museums to list remains in their collections, along with any “associated funerary objects” or other sacred items, and share the list with tribes, who could then make repatriation claims. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=HSC&division=7.&title=&part=2.&chapter=5.&article=1.\">law\u003c/a> extended that approach to state-funded museums. But UC campus responses varied widely. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA’s Fowler Museum has transferred nearly all of the 2,300 remains in its collection to tribes, according to its archaeology curator, Wendy Teeter. But at UC Berkeley’s Phoebe Hearst Museum, which holds one of the largest collections of human remains in the country, fewer than 300 bodies have been returned out of more than 9,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a huge black eye on the institution,” said Phenocia Bauerle, Berkeley’s director of Native American Student Development. She said the slow pace of repatriation has hurt her ability to build trust with Native American students and tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">The dispute reflects a longstanding clash of worldviews, with UC academics weighing concerns of descendants against potential research benefits.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Randy Katz, Berkeley’s vice chancellor for research, said the university “works diligently to care for (remains) in a respectful and legal manner.” He noted that he recently appointed more Native Americans to the campus committee reviewing repatriation requests, once dominated by anthropologists and with only one Native American member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pechanga’s dispute with the Hearst Museum began on San Nicolas Island, a sandy, scrub-covered outpost about 60 miles offshore of Southern California, owned by the Navy. Archaeologists with the Navy and Cal State Los Angeles were digging there, seeking to unravel the mystery of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me-c1-cave-artifacts-20150305-story.html\">Lone Woman\u003c/a>, a Native American whose story inspired the novel \u003cem>Island of the Blue Dolphins\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t sit well with the Pechanga tribal council, which said traditional songs and stories prove the tribe’s connection to the island. It filed a petition with the Navy, which agreed the tribe had a cultural affiliation with the area. That meant digging had to stop—and by law, the nearly 500 remains uncovered on the island over the decades could go to the tribe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what tribal representatives describe as a six-year saga, other museums—including UCLA’s Fowler—have said they will return bodies they have from San Nicolas. The Navy has given permission for island reburial to Pechanga and three other Luiseño and Chumash tribes. But UC Berkeley insists it must conduct its own investigation before returning some of the remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dispute reflects a longstanding clash of worldviews, with UC academics weighing concerns of descendants against potential research benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11680092\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Chairman Mark Macarro of the Pechanga Tribe of Luiseño Indians.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11680092\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chairman Mark Macarro of the Pechanga Tribe of Luiseño Indians. \u003ccite>(Robbie Short/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“There’s a wealth of data in the human body,” said Robert Bettinger, professor emeritus of anthropology at UC Davis. “We can trace a whole series of isotopes that will tell us about your diet, about the water you drank and probably the region you came from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bettinger worries that if tribes rebury remains without allowing anthropologists to examine them, society will lose the opportunity to gain detailed knowledge about life in western North America before Europeans’ arrival. “Maybe this is patronizing from an archaeologist’s point of view, but I think someday, somebody in the Native American community is going to ask, ‘Why don’t we know this?’ ” he said. “And the answer will be because some of your forebears decided it was more important not to know that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for many tribes, the very idea that their ancestors would become research objects is, in Pechanga chairman Mark Macarro’s word, “abhorrent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as these remains are out there and our people are in pieces in different institutions,” he said, “the tribes have this sense that things are really out of balance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Macarro subscribes to the Luiseño view that the world was created in the Temecula Valley, and is skeptical of academics who he sees as guessing at history, constantly changing their ideas as new evidence discredits the old ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look, if you want to know the past,” he said, “talk to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Assembly has passed legislation by San Diego \u003ca href=\"https://a78.asmdc.org/\">Assemblyman Todd Gloria\u003c/a>, a member of Alaska’s Tlingit Haida tribe, to create a uniform UC repatriation process, overseen by the state’s \u003ca href=\"http://nahc.ca.gov/\">Native American Heritage Commission\u003c/a>. Tribes would have equal representation on campus committees, and the state auditor would review UC’s legal compliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If (research) was done in a cooperative fashion with the descendants, maybe something could happen here,” Gloria said. “Sadly, right now the relationship is very adversarial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matching centuries-old skeletons with contemporary Native American groups can be challenging. Poor record-keeping abounds. Even when likely descendants are identified, they\u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/assets/310/307856.pdf\"> sometimes lack\u003c/a> the money or land to take on repatriation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA’s Teeter said her team reaches out to tribes to help identify the origin of remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not talking about Neanderthals; we’re not talking about Homo erectus. We’re talking about people that are sometimes just a generation or two separated from us,” Teeter said. “There’s more value in making sure our relationships are true and ethical than in trying to hold onto (someone’s) ancestors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11680095\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Walters, a UC Davis osteologist, shows how he sorts through animal bones from archaeological digs to find any human bones that have been misclassified.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11680095\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Walters, a UC Davis osteologist, shows how he sorts through animal bones from archaeological digs to find any human bones that have been misclassified. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Teeter said the collaboration with tribes is one reason for UCLA’s high repatriation rate. At UC Berkeley, by contrast, campus officials have designated more than 80 percent of the remains in its North American collection as “culturally unidentifiable”—a legal limbo that means researchers can study the bones without seeking permission from any tribe. Katz says that’s because they come from a broader range of places and time periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a basement room filled with white file boxes, UC Davis osteologist Michael Walters sorts through plastic bags full of bone fragments so small they look like wood chips. He’s searching for human bones that were mislabeled as animal, and sometimes he finds them—a body part from a child, for example, that was so small that an undergraduate in the 1960s decided it must have come from a bird.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walters is part of a three-person team hired by UC Davis to update its inventory of about 300 sets of Native American remains—finding additional bones that researchers in the past missed, and returning those that can be repatriated to tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human bones go to a separate room closed to the public and the press. There, black curtains cover the shelves that house the bodies, the lighting is dim, and there’s an area for tribal representatives to make religious offerings, according to staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walters wears gloves, and speaks to the bones while he works. “I do say hello and good morning to them, I apologize for colonialism,” he said. “My goal is to get that person home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even this process is controversial. The United Auburn Indian Community says its own claim for repatriation of remains and sacred items from UC Davis has dragged on for years, and objects to scientists handling the bones as disrespectful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scientists contend they must ensure there’s sufficient evidence to repatriate the bones—or they could be sued by anthropologists who want to study them. In 2012, Bettinger and two other UC scientists seeking DNA to study ancient migrations sued but failed to stop the university from transferring \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/02/science/tribes-win-in-fight-for-la-jolla-bones-clouds-hopes-for-dna-studies.html\">two 9,000-year-old skeletons\u003c/a> to the Kumeyaay tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC has not taken a position on Gloria’s bill, though Berkeley’s Katz said he’s “concerned that as written it will increase layers of bureaucracy and hobble our ability to act swiftly on the advice of the new (committee) we’ve established that is more representative and inclusive of Native American perspectives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the tribes await Senate action, Masiel continues her work. Last month, she flew to Europe to consult with a museum about remains that she says have ties to her people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tribe, we’re very patient,” she said. “We don’t forget. I will continue to fight for these people until they get returned back to where they came from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.calmatters.org/\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

But UC campus responses varied widely. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA’s Fowler Museum has transferred nearly all of the 2,300 remains in its collection to tribes, according to its archaeology curator, Wendy Teeter. But at UC Berkeley’s Phoebe Hearst Museum, which holds one of the largest collections of human remains in the country, fewer than 300 bodies have been returned out of more than 9,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a huge black eye on the institution,” said Phenocia Bauerle, Berkeley’s director of Native American Student Development. She said the slow pace of repatriation has hurt her ability to build trust with Native American students and tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">The dispute reflects a longstanding clash of worldviews, with UC academics weighing concerns of descendants against potential research benefits.\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Randy Katz, Berkeley’s vice chancellor for research, said the university “works diligently to care for (remains) in a respectful and legal manner.” He noted that he recently appointed more Native Americans to the campus committee reviewing repatriation requests, once dominated by anthropologists and with only one Native American member.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pechanga’s dispute with the Hearst Museum began on San Nicolas Island, a sandy, scrub-covered outpost about 60 miles offshore of Southern California, owned by the Navy. Archaeologists with the Navy and Cal State Los Angeles were digging there, seeking to unravel the mystery of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/great-reads/la-me-c1-cave-artifacts-20150305-story.html\">Lone Woman\u003c/a>, a Native American whose story inspired the novel \u003cem>Island of the Blue Dolphins\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t sit well with the Pechanga tribal council, which said traditional songs and stories prove the tribe’s connection to the island. It filed a petition with the Navy, which agreed the tribe had a cultural affiliation with the area. That meant digging had to stop—and by law, the nearly 500 remains uncovered on the island over the decades could go to the tribe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In what tribal representatives describe as a six-year saga, other museums—including UCLA’s Fowler—have said they will return bodies they have from San Nicolas. The Navy has given permission for island reburial to Pechanga and three other Luiseño and Chumash tribes. But UC Berkeley insists it must conduct its own investigation before returning some of the remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The dispute reflects a longstanding clash of worldviews, with UC academics weighing concerns of descendants against potential research benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11680092\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Chairman Mark Macarro of the Pechanga Tribe of Luiseño Indians.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11680092\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericansMacarro-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Chairman Mark Macarro of the Pechanga Tribe of Luiseño Indians. \u003ccite>(Robbie Short/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“There’s a wealth of data in the human body,” said Robert Bettinger, professor emeritus of anthropology at UC Davis. “We can trace a whole series of isotopes that will tell us about your diet, about the water you drank and probably the region you came from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bettinger worries that if tribes rebury remains without allowing anthropologists to examine them, society will lose the opportunity to gain detailed knowledge about life in western North America before Europeans’ arrival. “Maybe this is patronizing from an archaeologist’s point of view, but I think someday, somebody in the Native American community is going to ask, ‘Why don’t we know this?’ ” he said. “And the answer will be because some of your forebears decided it was more important not to know that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But for many tribes, the very idea that their ancestors would become research objects is, in Pechanga chairman Mark Macarro’s word, “abhorrent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As long as these remains are out there and our people are in pieces in different institutions,” he said, “the tribes have this sense that things are really out of balance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Macarro subscribes to the Luiseño view that the world was created in the Temecula Valley, and is skeptical of academics who he sees as guessing at history, constantly changing their ideas as new evidence discredits the old ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Look, if you want to know the past,” he said, “talk to us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s Assembly has passed legislation by San Diego \u003ca href=\"https://a78.asmdc.org/\">Assemblyman Todd Gloria\u003c/a>, a member of Alaska’s Tlingit Haida tribe, to create a uniform UC repatriation process, overseen by the state’s \u003ca href=\"http://nahc.ca.gov/\">Native American Heritage Commission\u003c/a>. Tribes would have equal representation on campus committees, and the state auditor would review UC’s legal compliance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If (research) was done in a cooperative fashion with the descendants, maybe something could happen here,” Gloria said. “Sadly, right now the relationship is very adversarial.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Matching centuries-old skeletons with contemporary Native American groups can be challenging. Poor record-keeping abounds. Even when likely descendants are identified, they\u003ca href=\"https://www.gao.gov/assets/310/307856.pdf\"> sometimes lack\u003c/a> the money or land to take on repatriation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA’s Teeter said her team reaches out to tribes to help identify the origin of remains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not talking about Neanderthals; we’re not talking about Homo erectus. We’re talking about people that are sometimes just a generation or two separated from us,” Teeter said. “There’s more value in making sure our relationships are true and ethical than in trying to hold onto (someone’s) ancestors.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11680095\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Walters, a UC Davis osteologist, shows how he sorts through animal bones from archaeological digs to find any human bones that have been misclassified.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11680095\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-800x1067.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-160x213.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-1020x1360.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-900x1200.jpg 900w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-1180x1573.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-960x1280.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-240x320.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-375x500.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/07/NativeAmericanRemains-520x693.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Michael Walters, a UC Davis osteologist, shows how he sorts through animal bones from archaeological digs to find any human bones that have been misclassified. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Teeter said the collaboration with tribes is one reason for UCLA’s high repatriation rate. At UC Berkeley, by contrast, campus officials have designated more than 80 percent of the remains in its North American collection as “culturally unidentifiable”—a legal limbo that means researchers can study the bones without seeking permission from any tribe. Katz says that’s because they come from a broader range of places and time periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a basement room filled with white file boxes, UC Davis osteologist Michael Walters sorts through plastic bags full of bone fragments so small they look like wood chips. He’s searching for human bones that were mislabeled as animal, and sometimes he finds them—a body part from a child, for example, that was so small that an undergraduate in the 1960s decided it must have come from a bird.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walters is part of a three-person team hired by UC Davis to update its inventory of about 300 sets of Native American remains—finding additional bones that researchers in the past missed, and returning those that can be repatriated to tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human bones go to a separate room closed to the public and the press. There, black curtains cover the shelves that house the bodies, the lighting is dim, and there’s an area for tribal representatives to make religious offerings, according to staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walters wears gloves, and speaks to the bones while he works. “I do say hello and good morning to them, I apologize for colonialism,” he said. “My goal is to get that person home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even this process is controversial. The United Auburn Indian Community says its own claim for repatriation of remains and sacred items from UC Davis has dragged on for years, and objects to scientists handling the bones as disrespectful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scientists contend they must ensure there’s sufficient evidence to repatriate the bones—or they could be sued by anthropologists who want to study them. In 2012, Bettinger and two other UC scientists seeking DNA to study ancient migrations sued but failed to stop the university from transferring \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/02/science/tribes-win-in-fight-for-la-jolla-bones-clouds-hopes-for-dna-studies.html\">two 9,000-year-old skeletons\u003c/a> to the Kumeyaay tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC has not taken a position on Gloria’s bill, though Berkeley’s Katz said he’s “concerned that as written it will increase layers of bureaucracy and hobble our ability to act swiftly on the advice of the new (committee) we’ve established that is more representative and inclusive of Native American perspectives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the tribes await Senate action, Masiel continues her work. Last month, she flew to Europe to consult with a museum about remains that she says have ties to her people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tribe, we’re very patient,” she said. “We don’t forget. I will continue to fight for these people until they get returned back to where they came from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She’s barely ever here anyway, Destiny explains, mostly just to sleep on an airbed inside a small converted office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s early spring and Destiny’s walking to school. She’s got braces on her teeth and she’s sporting a pair of red sweats. She’s a senior and she’s got a lot on her mind. She’s determined to graduate and attend a four-year college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, I’m excited to graduate!” she says. But her feelings are complicated. She searches for an Instagram post that resonates and reads it aloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re graduating but you’re scared to enter the real world 'cuz you cheated your way through all four years,\" she reads, and then laughs. “That’s, like, the story of me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School hasn’t been easy for her. Neither has life. Destiny is 17.

She sighs heavily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, we lost the house really because my grandmother passed away. But before she passed away we were struggling to pay the rent because it kept going up,” Destiny explains. The rent hikes, she says, kicked in when their elderly African-American landlord died and a series of corporate landlords took over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny’s grandmother received a rental subsidy through the federal program known as Section 8. That could have been passed down to Destiny’s brother when their grandma died in 2016, but “he was only 18 or 19. He couldn’t afford it,” Destiny says. “He’d just got outta high school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Read More of KQED’s Coverage for the SF Homeless Project\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/SFHomeless_long_Horizontal-02-e1467163328567.png\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>That brother bounces around now, couch-surfing with friends, essentially homeless.

She’s closing in on a 3.0 GPA. She has no first period this morning, but she’s headed to school early to work on scholarship applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we get to McClymonds High, Destiny bumps into Devan McFadden, a staffer from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayconsortium.org/about/staff\">East Bay Consortium\u003c/a> who runs the school’s college and career center with help from a district counselor. She’s excited to see him. She tells him she has just submitted her scholarship application to the East Bay College Fund, a couple of days before the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes!! That’s what I like to hear,” McFadden answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny follows McFadden into the center. It’s one of her main hangouts. One of Destiny’s best friends is here, too, bragging about her. She points out that Destiny just won a Rotary Club speech competition. And that she’s McClymonds' “No. 1 debater.” She even won a \u003ca href=\"https://www.baudl.org/\">Bay Urban Debate League\u003c/a> championship recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right before the bell rings, Destiny finally settles down, and asks McFadden for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OK, so Devan, I still don’t know what college I should be going to,” she says in a low voice, suddenly deflated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s fine,” he assures her. “You have to wait until you get your financial aid packages from them, to make your decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny’s recent spurt of hard work is paying off. By March, she’d already gotten into 20 schools. Most are historically black colleges, with a couple of backup state schools mixed in. Her financial aid is obviously really important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her AP English class today, the college and career staff take over to help. Oakland Unified School District college career readiness specialist Jamia Morton asks Destiny if she’s seen her financial aid offers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny’s worried. She hasn’t received them yet, she explains to Morton, because “they want to know, like, how am I a ward of the state, how am I independent?” The principal and vice principal are working on letters on Destiny’s behalf, as are several district staffers. Morton agrees to meet Destiny the following week to help her call each school and figure out exactly what they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677096\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11677096\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Destiny Shabazz, 17, gets a hug from a front office administrator at West Oakland’s McClymonds High School. Destiny has no parent or legal guardian. She’s not in foster care, and she’s not emancipated. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some students have to deal with parents breathing down their necks about college applications. Destiny has to motivate herself, but she has an army of adults helping to guide her through. Still, it’s complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My situation is, like, sticky, because I’m not emancipated,” Destiny explains after class. “I’m not in foster care, nothing,” she says. “So technically I’m like lost in the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her grandmother died, Destiny looked into the process of becoming emancipated through the courts. But it takes so long, she realized, she’d almost be 18 by the time she got through it. So she just lives in the gray zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes,” she says, “if I have field trips, just so they won’t say nothing, I just sign my granny’s name. I just be like, ‘Whatever, they not even gonna notice.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Signing her dead grandmother’s name was tough on her emotionally, Destiny says. But it turns out plenty of people at school did notice that she was struggling. Destiny talks a lot about her Oakland Unified case manager, Miss Stacy. She’s more like a very involved aunt than a school bureaucrat. It was Miss Stacy — OUSD case manager Stacy Daniels — who helped her start collecting a modest government check. Destiny feels lucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always think, there’s people out there with way worse situations,” she tells me. “What if if you didn’t know what to do? What if Miss Stacy wouldn’t have helped me get my money? What would I have done?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a time after her grandmother’s death, Destiny says she felt really low. Shut down. She was isolating herself. She realized she needed her community. And she embraced her school life. Here at McClymonds, she’s social and ambitious. She runs track. She’s taking three college-level classes this semester. And she gets a stipend for her leadership roles with the debate team and the school’s Youth and Family Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she’s also really resilient, considering 18 young people she knew have been killed. Last year, she says, just a week after a friend was shot to death, “two of my friends got murdered the same day, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Slain-Oakland-teen-falls-to-gun-violence-he-had-10645875.php\">Travon and Peek a Boo\u003c/a>. That shook me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best friends had graduated from McClymonds, and Destiny said they were like big brothers to her. “That was all within a week,” she said of the three deaths. Their funerals were within a week, too. “Three funerals, three friends. All to gun violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here at McClymonds, the staff and administrators root for her. In the hall between classes, Brian McGhee, McClymonds High School program manager, says Destiny “speaks her truth” and is “an advocate for youth and students of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He sees her achieving great things in the political realm, so much so, he says, “when you say [East Bay Congresswoman] Barbara Lee, we say Destiny Shabazz, when we say Rosa Parks, we will say Destiny Shabazz. That’s the level I see her rising to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s not quite there yet though. McGhee calls her “a diamond in the rough ... I mean she got some things, we all got some things we want to work on. And we’re gonna support her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the support,” Destiny says with a grin. “It never stops. Well, maybe in Algebra 2 class but then you know, it comes back right after.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algebra 2. That’s one of those things she has to work on. There was no permanent teacher for a chunk of the fall semester. Now it’s Mr. Tivol. And Destiny, well, she finds him condescending. He gets under her skin. The day before I come to school with her, she cussed him out. She was worried about today’s quiz. She apologized in an email. He wrote her back. He encouraged her. Told her not to “sweat it too hard.” But in class, it’s like Destiny can’t stop herself from messing with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She finishes her quiz early and takes out her iPad, even though that’s against the rules. When Mr. Tivol asks her to put it away, she refuses. So he calls in Will Blackwell, the school’s restorative practices facilitator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Destiny leaves with him, she throws her quiz in the trash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the hallway, Mr. Blackwell talks to her straight. She knows perfectly well that she can’t use the iPad in class, he says. He tells her she doesn’t need to sabotage herself by being so combative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blackwell knows the students really well. That’s his job. When there’s trouble, he tries to bring the feuding sides together, to help them work it out. After they talk for a bit, he suggests a restorative justice advocate sit down with Mr. Tivol. For a group meeting like this, a student would usually bring a parent or some other adult advocate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All right now,” Blackwell tells her, “who do we call?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s yet one more reminder of Destiny’s unusual situation. Destiny tells Blackwell that she’s “grown,” that she can be at the table by herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She can, Blackwell agrees. But he persuades her to seek adult backup. Her uncle can come, she says, him,and “Miss Stacy, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He promises to schedule the sit-down in the next few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that afternoon, Destiny heads to the McClymonds \u003ca href=\"https://www.alternativesinaction.org/mcclymonds/\">Youth and Family Center\u003c/a>. She spends a huge chunk of her life at this center. It’s staffed by a nonprofit called \u003ca href=\"https://www.alternativesinaction.org/\">Alternatives in Action\u003c/a>. And they show her a different kind of love. Destiny is honest about what happened in math class. It doesn’t go over well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You block your own blessings, you sabotage yourself, right?” Kharyshi Wiginton, then the community programs manager, tells Destiny. “At 17, I need that not to continue to be the story. This is bigger than this moment. In a second you’re not gonna have us. The world is not nice to adults like that. You’re not allowed to just mess up and mess up and mess up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clock is ticking for Destiny, and the staff here is worried for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the students at McClymonds call Wiginton “Miss K.” She buys Destiny dinner just about every evening. Destiny knows Miss K loves her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody know[s] that I have two sides; like, I'm still a teenager,” Destiny says after the chaos dies down. She knows she has been through “things that make me act certain ways, you know, argumentative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining debate last fall has given her a way to channel her sharp tongue in a more productive way, she says, but, “I'm still growing.” It wouldn’t be real if the staff at the center didn’t rail on her for her mistakes, she says, “but they love me, too, you know — hard love, tough love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And thanks in part to them, Destiny has big dreams. She plans to return to Oakland and run for mayor in 2022. She has a vision for what her city needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My plans are to change Oakland financially, socially and in equitability,” she explains. “I want Oakland to be like a black Wall Street. I want it to be black schools, black businesses, black courts, black teachers. I don’t want to stop the diversity,” she adds. “That’s not possible, but I know that Oakland is changing from Old Oakland to New Oakland, and the plan for New Oakland has nothing to do with black people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I check back in with Destiny at the end of the school year. She has chosen Cal State Sacramento, and she’s gotten four scholarships that’ll help with her first year. But she has a ton of catching up to do in Mr. Tivol’s class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Destiny pulls it off. On graduation day, I find her outside the auditorium, wolfing down a hamburger that Miss Stacy just brought her. She’s wearing stylish little shorts under her gown and high-heeled boots made of clear plastic. It’s a big day for her. But she’s had a major setback with her housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel a little overwhelmed right now. I been real struggling,” she says. “I got kicked out of the house that I was at and now I’m moving around house to house for the last two weeks. It’s been hard.” Then she brightens. “But I’m good, because I’m graduating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The auditorium is packed. When the music starts and the grads take their seats, Destiny is hamming it up with her friends. And once the ceremony gets started, there’s a surprise for her — from the McClymonds High alumni association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You only have to hear her name to understand that there are bigger and better things for her,” the association president says in announcing a scholarship winner. “She will attend Sacramento State. ... She also played basketball, ran track, debated and was very active in the community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before he even finishes, the crowd starts screaming Destiny’s name. And she’s up and out of her seat, doing a funky little dance on her way to the stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone knows who he’s talking about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I might have been calling somebody else,” he tells her with a laugh. Destiny shrugs and responds: “I know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny got a job at McDonald's. She turns 18 in August. It’s kind of scary. But Miss Stacy plans to stick by her, and a few other mentors have promised to make sure she gets through all four years of college with plenty of support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>An \u003ca href=\"http://kalw.org/post/her-own-17-west-oakland-student-blossoms-love-and-support-school#stream/0\">earlier version of this story\u003c/a> aired on KALW’s Crosscurrents\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Her housemates like their privacy. She’s barely ever here anyway, Destiny explains, mostly just to sleep on an airbed inside a small converted office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s early spring and Destiny’s walking to school. She’s got braces on her teeth and she’s sporting a pair of red sweats. She’s a senior and she’s got a lot on her mind. She’s determined to graduate and attend a four-year college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes, I’m excited to graduate!” she says. But her feelings are complicated. She searches for an Instagram post that resonates and reads it aloud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you’re graduating but you’re scared to enter the real world 'cuz you cheated your way through all four years,\" she reads, and then laughs. “That’s, like, the story of me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School hasn’t been easy for her. Neither has life. Destiny is 17.

But she is getting by — in some ways, thriving — thanks in part to some grownups at her school, McClymonds High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, a handful of adults on this West Oakland campus are pretty much raising Destiny now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the block Destiny points out the house she grew up in with her grandmother, who was her legal guardian. She sighs heavily.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, we lost the house really because my grandmother passed away. But before she passed away we were struggling to pay the rent because it kept going up,” Destiny explains. The rent hikes, she says, kicked in when their elderly African-American landlord died and a series of corporate landlords took over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny’s grandmother received a rental subsidy through the federal program known as Section 8. That could have been passed down to Destiny’s brother when their grandma died in 2016, but “he was only 18 or 19. He couldn’t afford it,” Destiny says. “He’d just got outta high school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch4 style=\"text-align: center\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000\">Read More of KQED’s Coverage for the SF Homeless Project\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003c/h4>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/sf-homeless-project\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/06/SFHomeless_long_Horizontal-02-e1467163328567.png\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>That brother bounces around now, couch-surfing with friends, essentially homeless.

She says it wasn’t healthy for her there. Finding a place on her own was impossible. So Destiny reached out to a former neighbor, who converted her office into a small room. Now Destiny pays $300 a month to stay there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My grandma always taught me you can’t live somewhere for free, that’s not real,” she says. “People don’t just let you stay places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Being back in West Oakland feels right, though. Destiny grew up with a ton of kids here. They all call each other \"cousin\" now. She has strong memories of her childhood.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That Boys and Girls Club, there,” she notes. “I been going there since I was like 6 or 7.” She smiles, recalling all the field trips and good times.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677095\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11677095\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31577_DestinyCollegeCareerCtrCAReport-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Destiny Shabazz, 17, works on scholarship applications at McClymonds High School’s College & Career Center. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since Destiny’s been on her own, she’s been working really hard to boost her grades. She’s closing in on a 3.0 GPA. She has no first period this morning, but she’s headed to school early to work on scholarship applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When we get to McClymonds High, Destiny bumps into Devan McFadden, a staffer from the \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastbayconsortium.org/about/staff\">East Bay Consortium\u003c/a> who runs the school’s college and career center with help from a district counselor. She’s excited to see him. She tells him she has just submitted her scholarship application to the East Bay College Fund, a couple of days before the deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Yes!! That’s what I like to hear,” McFadden answers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny follows McFadden into the center. It’s one of her main hangouts. One of Destiny’s best friends is here, too, bragging about her. She points out that Destiny just won a Rotary Club speech competition. And that she’s McClymonds' “No. 1 debater.” She even won a \u003ca href=\"https://www.baudl.org/\">Bay Urban Debate League\u003c/a> championship recently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right before the bell rings, Destiny finally settles down, and asks McFadden for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“OK, so Devan, I still don’t know what college I should be going to,” she says in a low voice, suddenly deflated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s fine,” he assures her. “You have to wait until you get your financial aid packages from them, to make your decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny’s recent spurt of hard work is paying off. By March, she’d already gotten into 20 schools. Most are historically black colleges, with a couple of backup state schools mixed in. Her financial aid is obviously really important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her AP English class today, the college and career staff take over to help. Oakland Unified School District college career readiness specialist Jamia Morton asks Destiny if she’s seen her financial aid offers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Destiny’s worried. She hasn’t received them yet, she explains to Morton, because “they want to know, like, how am I a ward of the state, how am I independent?” The principal and vice principal are working on letters on Destiny’s behalf, as are several district staffers. Morton agrees to meet Destiny the following week to help her call each school and figure out exactly what they need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11677096\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11677096\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/06/RS31575_DestinyOfficeCAReport-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Destiny Shabazz, 17, gets a hug from a front office administrator at West Oakland’s McClymonds High School. Destiny has no parent or legal guardian. She’s not in foster care, and she’s not emancipated. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some students have to deal with parents breathing down their necks about college applications. Destiny has to motivate herself, but she has an army of adults helping to guide her through. Still, it’s complicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My situation is, like, sticky, because I’m not emancipated,” Destiny explains after class. “I’m not in foster care, nothing,” she says. “So technically I’m like lost in the system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After her grandmother died, Destiny looked into the process of becoming emancipated through the courts. But it takes so long, she realized, she’d almost be 18 by the time she got through it. So she just lives in the gray zone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes,” she says, “if I have field trips, just so they won’t say nothing, I just sign my granny’s name. I just be like, ‘Whatever, they not even gonna notice.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Signing her dead grandmother’s name was tough on her emotionally, Destiny says. But it turns out plenty of people at school did notice that she was struggling. Destiny talks a lot about her Oakland Unified case manager, Miss Stacy. She’s more like a very involved aunt than a school bureaucrat. It was Miss Stacy — OUSD case manager Stacy Daniels — who helped her start collecting a modest government check. Destiny feels lucky.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always think, there’s people out there with way worse situations,” she tells me. “What if if you didn’t know what to do? What if Miss Stacy wouldn’t have helped me get my money? What would I have done?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For a time after her grandmother’s death, Destiny says she felt really low. Shut down. She was isolating herself. She realized she needed her community. And she embraced her school life. Here at McClymonds, she’s social and ambitious. She runs track. She’s taking three college-level classes this semester. And she gets a stipend for her leadership roles with the debate team and the school’s Youth and Family Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she’s also really resilient, considering 18 young people she knew have been killed. Last year, she says, just a week after a friend was shot to death, “two of my friends got murdered the same day, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/crime/article/Slain-Oakland-teen-falls-to-gun-violence-he-had-10645875.php\">Travon and Peek a Boo\u003c/a>. That shook me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The best friends had graduated from McClymonds, and Destiny said they were like big brothers to her. “That was all within a week,” she said of the three deaths. Their funerals were within a week, too. “Three funerals, three friends. All to gun violence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here at McClymonds, the staff and administrators root for her. In the hall between classes, Brian McGhee, McClymonds High School program manager, says Destiny “speaks her truth” and is “an advocate for youth and students of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He sees her achieving great things in the political realm, so much so, he says, “when you say [East Bay Congresswoman] Barbara Lee, we say Destiny Shabazz, when we say Rosa Parks, we will say Destiny Shabazz. That’s the level I see her rising to.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She’s not quite there yet though. McGhee calls her “a diamond in the rough ... I mean she got some things, we all got some things we want to work on. And we’re gonna support her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the support,” Destiny says with a grin. “It never stops. Well, maybe in Algebra 2 class but then you know, it comes back right after.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Algebra 2. That’s one of those things she has to work on. There was no permanent teacher for a chunk of the fall semester. Now it’s Mr. Tivol. And Destiny, well, she finds him condescending. He gets under her skin. The day before I come to school with her, she cussed him out. She was worried about today’s quiz. She apologized in an email. He wrote her back. He encouraged her. Told her not to “sweat it too hard.” But in class, it’s like Destiny can’t stop herself from messing with him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She finishes her quiz early and takes out her iPad, even though that’s against the rules. When Mr. Tivol asks her to put it away, she refuses. So he calls in Will Blackwell, the school’s restorative practices facilitator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before Destiny leaves with him, she throws her quiz in the trash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the hallway, Mr. Blackwell talks to her straight. She knows perfectly well that she can’t use the iPad in class, he says. He tells her she doesn’t need to sabotage herself by being so combative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blackwell knows the students really well. That’s his job. When there’s trouble, he tries to bring the feuding sides together, to help them work it out. After they talk for a bit, he suggests a restorative justice advocate sit down with Mr. Tivol. For a group meeting like this, a student would usually bring a parent or some other adult advocate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All right now,” Blackwell tells her, “who do we call?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s yet one more reminder of Destiny’s unusual situation. Destiny tells Blackwell that she’s “grown,” that she can be at the table by herself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She can, Blackwell agrees. But he persuades her to seek adult backup. Her uncle can come, she says, him,and “Miss Stacy, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He promises to schedule the sit-down in the next few weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Later that afternoon, Destiny heads to the McClymonds \u003ca href=\"https://www.alternativesinaction.org/mcclymonds/\">Youth and Family Center\u003c/a>. She spends a huge chunk of her life at this center. It’s staffed by a nonprofit called \u003ca href=\"https://www.alternativesinaction.org/\">Alternatives in Action\u003c/a>. And they show her a different kind of love. Destiny is honest about what happened in math class. It doesn’t go over well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You block your own blessings, you sabotage yourself, right?” Kharyshi Wiginton, then the community programs manager, tells Destiny. “At 17, I need that not to continue to be the story. This is bigger than this moment. In a second you’re not gonna have us. The world is not nice to adults like that. You’re not allowed to just mess up and mess up and mess up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The clock is ticking for Destiny, and the staff here is worried for her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All the students at McClymonds call Wiginton “Miss K.” She buys Destiny dinner just about every evening. Destiny knows Miss K loves her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody know[s] that I have two sides; like, I'm still a teenager,” Destiny says after the chaos dies down. She knows she has been through “things that make me act certain ways, you know, argumentative.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joining debate last fall has given her a way to channel her sharp tongue in a more productive way, she says, but, “I'm still growing.” It wouldn’t be real if the staff at the center didn’t rail on her for her mistakes, she says, “but they love me, too, you know — hard love, tough love.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And thanks in part to them, Destiny has big dreams. She plans to return to Oakland and run for mayor in 2022. She has a vision for what her city needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My plans are to change Oakland financially, socially and in equitability,” she explains. “I want Oakland to be like a black Wall Street. I want it to be black schools, black businesses, black courts, black teachers. I don’t want to stop the diversity,” she adds. “That’s not possible, but I know that Oakland is changing from Old Oakland to New Oakland, and the plan for New Oakland has nothing to do with black people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I check back in with Destiny at the end of the school year. She has chosen Cal State Sacramento, and she’s gotten four scholarships that’ll help with her first year. But she has a ton of catching up to do in Mr. Tivol’s class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Destiny pulls it off. On graduation day, I find her outside the auditorium, wolfing down a hamburger that Miss Stacy just brought her. She’s wearing stylish little shorts under her gown and high-heeled boots made of clear plastic. It’s a big day for her.
