She approaches race and equity not as a beat, but as a fundamental lens for all investigative and explanatory reporting.\r\n\r\nSandhya covered policing, housing, social justice movements, and the shifting demographics of cities and suburbs.\r\n\r\nShe was the creator and co-host of the podcast American Suburb, about the transformation of suburbia into the most diverse space in American life. She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

That is what brought her to these school board meetings to advocate for the new curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yin sat with a cluster of sex education advocates. The color they wore to flag their support for the curriculum was green.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also dressed in green was Yasi Safinya-Davies, the executive director of \u003ca href=\"http://save-dv.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SAVE,\u003c/a> a Fremont-based nonprofit that provides support to victims of domestic violence. She said her organization works with a lot of young people who tell her, “we don’t have adults in our lives who are having earnest open conversations about our relationships, about our sexuality. We didn’t even know what consent was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a parent herself, she said she is sympathetic with the opposition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I absolutely understand the concern that parents have around this curriculum,” Safinya-Davies said. “Because if you didn’t grow up learning about your sexuality, and certainly not in a comprehensive way, this is all new.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safinya-Davies pauses, “Is the assumption that people who are for sex ed are interested in sexualizing our children?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is not about sexualizing kids, Safinya-Davies said, it is about being realistic about what is happening within their own bodies, and what information is out there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s not a single parent in this room who knows what it’s like to grow up and have a curiosity about your body and type that into a google search,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No matter your cultural heritage, all kids now live in the age of the internet, just a click away from porn. The internet, Safinya-Davies said, does not teach consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another argument pro-sex education advocates like Safinya-Davies make about teaching fourth through sixth graders about erections and nocturnal emissions, or wet dreams, is that those are the grades in which young people are experiencing puberty, if not before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Purabi Ghosh is concerned by the fourth through sixth graders being taught all this in co-ed classes. “Girls are more comfortable with girls, and boys are more comfortable learning about this with boys,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was one point on which the school board changed course. Now those classes will be same-sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghosh said she understands how complex this is, and she approves of parts of the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Telling them about puberty, teaching them about respect, accepting others, not bullying, that’s absolutely on the go,” she said. But pictures that depict sex acts go to far, “this is like exposing them to an inappropriate toy,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghosh also understands that there is a generational divide. She asked her older son, a junior in high school, if he would like to speak out against the sex education lessons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I said would you like to be speaker, he said, ‘I’d like to speak from the opposing side’,” she shakes her head and smiles. “And I completely get where he’s coming from. He’s having a lot of his friends come out now, who are accepting their diverse sexuality not, not a polar sexuality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a subtler part of this controversy. Sex education advocates say, lurking beneath the fears some parents have is homophobia and transphobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadiversityconference.com/2018/norcal/bio-sameer-jha.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sameer Jha\u003c/a> is a 16-year-old who is now at a private high school in Oakland.

There’s so much stigma in our community,” said Hussain, Jha’s mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Hussain is a huge supporter of her son, and his biggest cheerleader. As a Pakistani immigrant, she said she had to learn what it meant to be queer. “I didn’t even know that word existed,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish sex ed was made available to the parents here,” she said. “I look at the sea of parents who are here in opposition because there are so fearful of diversity, and it makes me really realize how important what my son is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jha is not the only person who spoke about the difficulties of navigating Fremont schools with a queer identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was younger, I felt there was nothing good about being queer in school spaces,” said Anthony Prickett, a 22-year-old who attended Fremont public schools. “I oftentimes felt very lonely when I was younger,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Prickett addressed the school board, he declared himself to be a proud, “gay Chinese-American Christian.” In response, someone in the crowd of white clad parents yelled out “No!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Quite often we pit Chinese-Americans and Christians against gay people,” Prickett said. “When in reality there have always been, and will always be, Chinese Christian gay people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prickett said he respects the need to keep cultural traditions alive, but not at the expense of inclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes we think as Chinese-American’s that we have to sustain our culture,” he said. “Instead of seeing culture as something that’s ever transforming, ever moving forward, ever growing more loving and caring as a community, we see it as the endless sustaining and reiteration of traditional values.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional values, he said, are “understood as values of purity and the ostracization of those who do not conform to a very particular idea of what it means to be Chinese-American.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prickett said there are more ways than one to be Chinese-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Salil Joshi said the battle over sex education in Fremont is not about exclusion of the LGBTQ community in Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about LGBTQ,” Joshi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he supports diversity and the LGBTQ community. What he is against is lessons he thinks are too sexually explicit for his ten-year-old son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I still believe that a ten-year-old is innocent,” he said. “I still believe that as a parent it is my duty to preserve that innocence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshi worries about more than just the fourth through sixth grade lessons. “At the seventh grade there is a possibility that oral and anal sex may be discussed in class, I don’t understand why that is necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBTQ and sex education advocates argue that in order for the lessons to be inclusive for all kids, sex and sexuality needs to be discussed and destigmatized, including sex that may be practiced by those with diverse sexualities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they said one reason to believe homophobia and transphobia are lurking behind the pushback against sex ed is the involvement of \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pacific Justice Institute.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/pacific-justice-institute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pacific Justice Institute\u003c/a> has been labeled a hate group by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/a>, for, among other things, their support of gay conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.schoolhealthcenters.org/healthlearning/reproductivehealth/sexual-health-education/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s ACLU is involved\u003c/a> on the pro-comprehensive sex education side of the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/pji-convinces-school-district-to-wait-with-regard-to-sex-ed-curriculum\">Similar controversies\u003c/a> have played out in other local school districts with large Asian-American populations.

In the meeting, parents threatened school board members who spoke positively about the sex ed curriculum with recall campaigns and promises to vote them out of office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also emerging is a subtle intergenerational divide between immigrant Asian-American parents and their children.

The internet, Safinya-Davies said, does not teach consent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another argument pro-sex education advocates like Safinya-Davies make about teaching fourth through sixth graders about erections and nocturnal emissions, or wet dreams, is that those are the grades in which young people are experiencing puberty, if not before.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parent Purabi Ghosh is concerned by the fourth through sixth graders being taught all this in co-ed classes. “Girls are more comfortable with girls, and boys are more comfortable learning about this with boys,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was one point on which the school board changed course. Now those classes will be same-sex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghosh said she understands how complex this is, and she approves of parts of the curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Telling them about puberty, teaching them about respect, accepting others, not bullying, that’s absolutely on the go,” she said. But pictures that depict sex acts go to far, “this is like exposing them to an inappropriate toy,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ghosh also understands that there is a generational divide. She asked her older son, a junior in high school, if he would like to speak out against the sex education lessons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I said would you like to be speaker, he said, ‘I’d like to speak from the opposing side’,” she shakes her head and smiles. “And I completely get where he’s coming from. He’s having a lot of his friends come out now, who are accepting their diverse sexuality not, not a polar sexuality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a subtler part of this controversy. Sex education advocates say, lurking beneath the fears some parents have is homophobia and transphobia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cadiversityconference.com/2018/norcal/bio-sameer-jha.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sameer Jha\u003c/a> is a 16-year-old who is now at a private high school in Oakland.

There’s so much stigma in our community,” said Hussain, Jha’s mom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now Hussain is a huge supporter of her son, and his biggest cheerleader. As a Pakistani immigrant, she said she had to learn what it meant to be queer. “I didn’t even know that word existed,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish sex ed was made available to the parents here,” she said. “I look at the sea of parents who are here in opposition because there are so fearful of diversity, and it makes me really realize how important what my son is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jha is not the only person who spoke about the difficulties of navigating Fremont schools with a queer identity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was younger, I felt there was nothing good about being queer in school spaces,” said Anthony Prickett, a 22-year-old who attended Fremont public schools. “I oftentimes felt very lonely when I was younger,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Prickett addressed the school board, he declared himself to be a proud, “gay Chinese-American Christian.” In response, someone in the crowd of white clad parents yelled out “No!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Quite often we pit Chinese-Americans and Christians against gay people,” Prickett said. “When in reality there have always been, and will always be, Chinese Christian gay people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prickett said he respects the need to keep cultural traditions alive, but not at the expense of inclusion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes we think as Chinese-American’s that we have to sustain our culture,” he said. “Instead of seeing culture as something that’s ever transforming, ever moving forward, ever growing more loving and caring as a community, we see it as the endless sustaining and reiteration of traditional values.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traditional values, he said, are “understood as values of purity and the ostracization of those who do not conform to a very particular idea of what it means to be Chinese-American.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prickett said there are more ways than one to be Chinese-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Parents like Salil Joshi said the battle over sex education in Fremont is not about exclusion of the LGBTQ community in Fremont.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is not about LGBTQ,” Joshi said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said he supports diversity and the LGBTQ community. What he is against is lessons he thinks are too sexually explicit for his ten-year-old son.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I still believe that a ten-year-old is innocent,” he said. “I still believe that as a parent it is my duty to preserve that innocence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Joshi worries about more than just the fourth through sixth grade lessons. “At the seventh grade there is a possibility that oral and anal sex may be discussed in class, I don’t understand why that is necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LGBTQ and sex education advocates argue that in order for the lessons to be inclusive for all kids, sex and sexuality needs to be discussed and destigmatized, including sex that may be practiced by those with diverse sexualities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And they said one reason to believe homophobia and transphobia are lurking behind the pushback against sex ed is the involvement of \u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pacific Justice Institute.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/pacific-justice-institute\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Pacific Justice Institute\u003c/a> has been labeled a hate group by the \u003ca href=\"https://www.splcenter.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern Poverty Law Center\u003c/a>, for, among other things, their support of gay conversion therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.schoolhealthcenters.org/healthlearning/reproductivehealth/sexual-health-education/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s ACLU is involved\u003c/a> on the pro-comprehensive sex education side of the debate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.pacificjustice.org/press-releases/pji-convinces-school-district-to-wait-with-regard-to-sex-ed-curriculum\">Similar controversies\u003c/a> have played out in other local school districts with large Asian-American populations.

In the meeting, parents threatened school board members who spoke positively about the sex ed curriculum with recall campaigns and promises to vote them out of office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also emerging is a subtle intergenerational divide between immigrant Asian-American parents and their children.

The FAFSA is the gateway to nearly all financial aid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Her parents ... are from the Philippines and they are ... in process to get their green cards now,\" she said.\" And they’re afraid that if she applies for financial aid it will somehow cause a problem with their application, and I tried to convince them that that was not true.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A significant minority of high school seniors who wouldn't be able to afford college without financial help can't get their parents to sign the FAFSA.

It resembles a flash drive, but instead of computer files, this device stores nicotine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They take a hit, sucking on the device as they would a cigarette. Then, “they blow into their backpacks … or into their sweater when the teacher isn’t looking,” said Elijah Luna, 16, a sophomore at Vista del Lago High School in Folsom, Calif., about 30 miles east of Sacramento.[contextly_sidebar id=\"djx30e7WNNg22Lzan6ALRB7cB9P9wBw0\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vapor cloud is so small and dissipates so quickly that teachers are usually none the wiser, said Luna, who added he’s never tried it himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The device is a \u003ca href=\"https://support.juulvapor.com/learn\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Juul\u003c/a>, a popular electronic cigarette that’s a sensation among teens, especially in wealthier neighborhoods — and a nightmare for school administrators and public health advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this is going to be the health problem of the decade,” said Milagros Vascones-Gatski, a substance abuse counselor at Yorktown High School in Arlington, Va. In nearly 17 years working with teens, she said, she’s never seen a tobacco product become so popular so quickly. Three to four students are caught smoking e-cigs on campus each week, usually Juuls, and some are suspended, she said.[contextly_sidebar id=\"V3e6sXL3LUlq4wqn0XrGQuq8Gylvns1F\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vascones-Gatski, along with other concerned educators and health care experts, consider “Juuling” more than youthful rebellion. Because it is high in nicotine, they fear the devices are extremely addictive for this vulnerable population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat the spread of the devices, some schools have banned \u003ca href=\"http://www.fox29.com/news/upper-dublin-school-district-bans-flash-drives-over-confusion-with-e-cigarette-brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flash drives\u003c/a> as well, to avoid any confusion between the items. Yorktown High even removed the main entrance doors from student bathrooms at the beginning of the school year to dissuade students from vaping inside. Despite these efforts, teens across America continue smoking the stuff in class, in hallways, in restrooms and at school sporting events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because it’s referred to as Juuling, not smoking or vaping, some students may think what they’re doing is harmless, said Pamela Ling, a professor at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine. “They may not even know it contains nicotine.”[contextly_sidebar id=\"sjPlnDQM2v8meizeQlSVKNclM0AfKBCv\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it does — and a significant amount. One Juul “pod,” the nicotine cartridge inserted into the smoking device and heated, delivers about 200 puffs, about as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://support.juulvapor.com/home/learn/faqs/juulpods-juice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">product website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assuming a teen smokes one pod a week, “in five weeks, that’s like 100 cigarettes,” Ling said. “By that point, you’re considered an established smoker.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E-cigarettes, also known as vapes, are battery-operated devices that heat up liquid nicotine to generate an aerosol that users inhale. Smoking e-cigs is more discreet and easier to get away with than traditional cigarettes.[contextly_sidebar id=\"j9qNeDkmKq8G2NE1y8iaUVGnDMNiBfb3\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, California increased the minimum age to purchase tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, from 18 to 21. Experts predicted the change would make it harder for teens to get tobacco products from their slightly older friends, and it seems to be working, \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/after-raising-age-for-tobacco-purchases-state-sees-decreased-sales-to-minors/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to a recent report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_440500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-440500\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-800x593.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-800x593.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-160x119.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-768x569.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-1020x756.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-1920x1424.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-1180x875.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-960x712.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-240x178.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-375x278.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-520x386.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A teenage boy smoking an electronic cigarette. \u003ccite>(iStock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But some health care advocates now worry that devices like the Juul could reverse that progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although its manufacturer, Juul Labs, said the device is intended exclusively for adult use, it is appealing to youth because it can be easily charged on a laptop, its decal covers come in colorful designs, and the pods are available in flavors such as mango, mint and crème brûlée.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The odor Juuls produce is subtle and could easily be mistaken for a lotion or body spray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s stinky and fruity,” said Luna’s friend Cody Maratas, of the smell he encounters inside school restrooms when others are Juuling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/juul/comments/7xnhzm/juuling_in_school/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit forum\u003c/a> dedicated to Juuling in schools, some users who identify themselves as students say school restrooms smell much nicer now as a result.[contextly_sidebar id=\"qf3M4b2Qh9DR7UrVTICkmbOlum92hcXb\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other online users describe “craving nicotine” and complain about “fiends” who ask to borrow their Juuls at school.

In nearly 17 years working with teens, she said, she’s never seen a tobacco product become so popular so quickly. Three to four students are caught smoking e-cigs on campus each week, usually Juuls, and some are suspended, she said.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vascones-Gatski, along with other concerned educators and health care experts, consider “Juuling” more than youthful rebellion. Because it is high in nicotine, they fear the devices are extremely addictive for this vulnerable population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To combat the spread of the devices, some schools have banned \u003ca href=\"http://www.fox29.com/news/upper-dublin-school-district-bans-flash-drives-over-confusion-with-e-cigarette-brand\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">flash drives\u003c/a> as well, to avoid any confusion between the items. Yorktown High even removed the main entrance doors from student bathrooms at the beginning of the school year to dissuade students from vaping inside. Despite these efforts, teens across America continue smoking the stuff in class, in hallways, in restrooms and at school sporting events.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because it’s referred to as Juuling, not smoking or vaping, some students may think what they’re doing is harmless, said Pamela Ling, a professor at the University of California-San Francisco School of Medicine. “They may not even know it contains nicotine.”\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it does — and a significant amount. One Juul “pod,” the nicotine cartridge inserted into the smoking device and heated, delivers about 200 puffs, about as much nicotine as a pack of cigarettes, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://support.juulvapor.com/home/learn/faqs/juulpods-juice\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">product website\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assuming a teen smokes one pod a week, “in five weeks, that’s like 100 cigarettes,” Ling said. “By that point, you’re considered an established smoker.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E-cigarettes, also known as vapes, are battery-operated devices that heat up liquid nicotine to generate an aerosol that users inhale. Smoking e-cigs is more discreet and easier to get away with than traditional cigarettes.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, California increased the minimum age to purchase tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, from 18 to 21. Experts predicted the change would make it harder for teens to get tobacco products from their slightly older friends, and it seems to be working, \u003ca href=\"https://californiahealthline.org/news/after-raising-age-for-tobacco-purchases-state-sees-decreased-sales-to-minors/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to a recent report\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_440500\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-440500\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/futureofyou/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-800x593.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-800x593.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-160x119.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-768x569.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-1020x756.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-1920x1424.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-1180x875.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-960x712.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-240x178.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-375x278.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/13/2018/03/iStock-180088674-520x386.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A teenage boy smoking an electronic cigarette. \u003ccite>(iStock)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But some health care advocates now worry that devices like the Juul could reverse that progress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although its manufacturer, Juul Labs, said the device is intended exclusively for adult use, it is appealing to youth because it can be easily charged on a laptop, its decal covers come in colorful designs, and the pods are available in flavors such as mango, mint and crème brûlée.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The odor Juuls produce is subtle and could easily be mistaken for a lotion or body spray.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s stinky and fruity,” said Luna’s friend Cody Maratas, of the smell he encounters inside school restrooms when others are Juuling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a \u003ca href=\"https://www.reddit.com/r/juul/comments/7xnhzm/juuling_in_school/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reddit forum\u003c/a> dedicated to Juuling in schools, some users who identify themselves as students say school restrooms smell much nicer now as a result.\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other online users describe “craving nicotine” and complain about “fiends” who ask to borrow their Juuls at school.

He also liked the UC campuses in Davis, San Diego and Irvine, with their big green spaces where students studied in the sunshine. He was excited to turn in his applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, my whole high school career kind of led up to this point, you know, getting the acceptance letters from Cal Poly, the UCs,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the letters started coming in it was bad news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just kept coming. It was like the same letter, San Diego, Davis, Irvine: We regret to inform you that we won't let you in.” Cal Poly didn’t let him in either. “No wait list,” Holton said, “It felt like I wasn't even close.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s become a common story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the CSU system turned away more than 30,000 eligible students. In 2017, UC turned more than 10,000 eligible applicants away from their schools of choice, instead referring them to the only campus that has room to grow: UC Merced. And 124 of those students say they plan to enroll there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California’s population grows, and increasing numbers of high school grads meet college eligibility requirements, ever more qualified CSU and UC applicants have to compete for limited space, according to experts at the Public Policy Institute of California, who say the problem is compounded by a long-term trend toward declining state investment. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/higher-education-funding-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC data\u003c/a> shows in 1976–77, higher education spending made up 18 percent of the state budget, but by 2016–17 it had fallen to 12 percent of the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California’s demographics have changed, its propensity for growth hasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the main themes in California history is constant population growth,” said John Douglass, a research fellow at UC Berkeley’s Center for Studies in Higher Education and author of “The California Idea and American Higher Education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference now, he argues, is a lack of vision. The feat of California’s famed \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/acadinit/mastplan/mpsummary.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1960 Master Plan for Higher Education\u003c/a> was not that it established an accessible high-quality college system -- that already existed -- but that it secured that promise for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great legacy of the Master Plan was an agreement about how the system should grow, what campuses should be developed, and what kind of money would be involved,” Douglass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a plan through 1975, but the state hasn’t come up with an alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're living off of infrastructure and an investment by the state that's 50 years old,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657228\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657228\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Holton says he was a good student in high school. He was in AP classes, involved in school clubs, sports and activities. Here he is as homecoming royalty his senior year. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Danny Holton)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So what students like Holton are experiencing is in part the result of a failure to adequately plan for the boom in college-eligible high school grads, according to Douglass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't have anybody doing any long-term enrollment studies as of now, so we need a lot of homework to be done,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Holton’s rejection letters piled up, he was grateful he had a backup plan. His college counselor had urged him to apply to a few out-of-state schools, and the news from outside California was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got my acceptance from ASU (Arizona State University), that was awesome,” Holton said. He even got a certificate with his name on it, signed by the dean welcoming him to the undergraduate business school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did ASU welcome Holton, they offered him $54,000, or about half his tuition for four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holton was placed on the waitlist at UC Santa Cruz and eventually admitted. But that was not until the summer, long after he had accepted admission to ASU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to leave the state for college is one a growing number of California families are making. Since 2002, Arizona State University has seen an increase of more than 200 percent in California student enrollment. At Oregon State University, California freshmen made up 3 percent of the incoming class in 2002. By 2017, California freshmen made up nearly 14 percent of Oregon State’s new students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last available \u003ca href=\"https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d16/tables/dt16_309.20.asp?current=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Department of Education data\u003c/a>, from 2014, shows more than 36,000 California freshman enrolled at out-of-state schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those statistics trouble Lande Ajose, executive director of California Competes, an organization that advocates for higher education policies that increase access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are bright and talented students,” she said. “Those are students whose families are here in the state. Those are students who then may or may not return home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">California's Higher Education: From American Dream to Dilemma\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SatherGate-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Holton is glad he went to ASU. He likes his classes. He got a good internship. He has another two years of college to decide what he’ll do next, but the longer he stays in Arizona, the harder it gets to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just have the connections here,” he said. “This is where I am now. I'd call it my home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Californians like Holton don’t come back, analysts warn the state is headed for trouble. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC estimates\u003c/a> by 2030 nearly 40 percent of the jobs here will require at least a bachelor’s degree, and state universities just aren’t turning out nearly enough of them. The institute projects the state will be over 1 million workers with bachelor’s degrees short of economic demand by then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a focus on how we're going to move kids through,” Ajose said, “We're leaving industries at risk of not being able to find the talent that they need to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she pointed out it’s not just about the economy. Studies have shown college graduates are more likely to be engaged in civic activities like voting and volunteering. “It also matters for the kinds of communities we want to live in,” Ajose said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is work being done on campuses and at the state Legislature to address the bleak forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers mandated UC increase enrollment by 10,000 in-state students over three years, a target the system has already surpassed. \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/why-the-csu-matters/graduation-initiative-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSU’s Graduation Initiative 2025\u003c/a> aims to help students graduate on time, freeing up more space for new students, and there are signs it’s working: for 2016-17, 99,000 CSU undergrads earned degrees — almost 7,000 more than the year before, and a record high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts warn more will need to be done if California is going to live up to the promise of access that created one of the greatest higher education systems in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a significant increase in the enrollment and academic program capacity,” Douglass said, “Californians can’t expect to continue to have the access rates they have today, let alone yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11660142\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-160x44.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1020x280.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1180x324.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-960x263.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-240x66.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-375x103.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-520x143.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner.jpg 1867w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was like the same letter, San Diego, Davis, Irvine: We regret to inform you that we won't let you in.” Cal Poly didn’t let him in either. “No wait list,” Holton said, “It felt like I wasn't even close.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s become a common story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the CSU system turned away more than 30,000 eligible students. In 2017, UC turned more than 10,000 eligible applicants away from their schools of choice, instead referring them to the only campus that has room to grow: UC Merced. And 124 of those students say they plan to enroll there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California’s population grows, and increasing numbers of high school grads meet college eligibility requirements, ever more qualified CSU and UC applicants have to compete for limited space, according to experts at the Public Policy Institute of California, who say the problem is compounded by a long-term trend toward declining state investment. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/higher-education-funding-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC data\u003c/a> shows in 1976–77, higher education spending made up 18 percent of the state budget, but by 2016–17 it had fallen to 12 percent of the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California’s demographics have changed, its propensity for growth hasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the main themes in California history is constant population growth,” said John Douglass, a research fellow at UC Berkeley’s Center for Studies in Higher Education and author of “The California Idea and American Higher Education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference now, he argues, is a lack of vision. The feat of California’s famed \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/acadinit/mastplan/mpsummary.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1960 Master Plan for Higher Education\u003c/a> was not that it established an accessible high-quality college system -- that already existed -- but that it secured that promise for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great legacy of the Master Plan was an agreement about how the system should grow, what campuses should be developed, and what kind of money would be involved,” Douglass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a plan through 1975, but the state hasn’t come up with an alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're living off of infrastructure and an investment by the state that's 50 years old,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657228\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657228\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Holton says he was a good student in high school.

Here he is as homecoming royalty his senior year. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Danny Holton)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So what students like Holton are experiencing is in part the result of a failure to adequately plan for the boom in college-eligible high school grads, according to Douglass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't have anybody doing any long-term enrollment studies as of now, so we need a lot of homework to be done,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Holton’s rejection letters piled up, he was grateful he had a backup plan. His college counselor had urged him to apply to a few out-of-state schools, and the news from outside California was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got my acceptance from ASU (Arizona State University), that was awesome,” Holton said. He even got a certificate with his name on it, signed by the dean welcoming him to the undergraduate business school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did ASU welcome Holton, they offered him $54,000, or about half his tuition for four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holton was placed on the waitlist at UC Santa Cruz and eventually admitted. But that was not until the summer, long after he had accepted admission to ASU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to leave the state for college is one a growing number of California families are making. Since 2002, Arizona State University has seen an increase of more than 200 percent in California student enrollment. At Oregon State University, California freshmen made up 3 percent of the incoming class in 2002. By 2017, California freshmen made up nearly 14 percent of Oregon State’s new students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last available \u003ca href=\"https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d16/tables/dt16_309.20.asp?current=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Department of Education data\u003c/a>, from 2014, shows more than 36,000 California freshman enrolled at out-of-state schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those statistics trouble Lande Ajose, executive director of California Competes, an organization that advocates for higher education policies that increase access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are bright and talented students,” she said. “Those are students whose families are here in the state. Those are students who then may or may not return home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">California's Higher Education: From American Dream to Dilemma\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SatherGate-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Holton is glad he went to ASU.

I'd call it my home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Californians like Holton don’t come back, analysts warn the state is headed for trouble. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC estimates\u003c/a> by 2030 nearly 40 percent of the jobs here will require at least a bachelor’s degree, and state universities just aren’t turning out nearly enough of them. The institute projects the state will be over 1 million workers with bachelor’s degrees short of economic demand by then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a focus on how we're going to move kids through,” Ajose said, “We're leaving industries at risk of not being able to find the talent that they need to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she pointed out it’s not just about the economy. Studies have shown college graduates are more likely to be engaged in civic activities like voting and volunteering. “It also matters for the kinds of communities we want to live in,” Ajose said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is work being done on campuses and at the state Legislature to address the bleak forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers mandated UC increase enrollment by 10,000 in-state students over three years, a target the system has already surpassed. \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/why-the-csu-matters/graduation-initiative-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSU’s Graduation Initiative 2025\u003c/a> aims to help students graduate on time, freeing up more space for new students, and there are signs it’s working: for 2016-17, 99,000 CSU undergrads earned degrees — almost 7,000 more than the year before, and a record high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts warn more will need to be done if California is going to live up to the promise of access that created one of the greatest higher education systems in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a significant increase in the enrollment and academic program capacity,” Douglass said, “Californians can’t expect to continue to have the access rates they have today, let alone yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The difference between the percentage of UC Berkeley students who are Latino and the proportion of California’s high school graduates who are is bigger than at any other state’s flagship public university, according to \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wgbh.org/on-campus/2018/1/29/many-state-flagship-universities-leave-black-and-latino-students-behind/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hechinger Report\u003c/a>, a nonprofit news organization focused on inequality in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the gap affects something even more fundamental, said Gregg Camfield, vice provost for faculty at UC Merced: the questions researchers ask and how they answer them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a big Western bias toward the individual great mind, but we’re coming to understand that most of the world’s problems are extremely complex,” he said, “and we need to tap the perspectives and experience of a very wide range of people in order to solve them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Designed for 35 students, Gonzalez’s classes on Chicanos, Law and Criminal Justice, Mexican Immigration and Chicano Culture brim with 50 to 60. “It’s not healthy whatsoever, but those are 160 students I want to have a conversation with,” says Gonzalez, who lacks tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His cozy fifth-floor office rarely empties, as students continually stop by to chat or seek advice. “I say ‘this door, as long as it’s open, you can come in.’ The students see a lot of closed doors outside of school because of how they look, who they are, who they are becoming,” he says. “I try to make sure they know that this is their space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11656214\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11656214\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Photo2-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"UC Berkeley students engage in a class that lecturer Pablo Gonzalez teaches on Mexican immigration.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Berkeley students engage in a class that lecturer Pablo Gonzalez teaches on Mexican immigration. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Born just down the street from the wooded campus, Gonzalez grew up in working-class neighborhoods of Berkeley and Richmond, majoring in Chicano Studies at UC Berkeley before heading to the University of Texas for graduate work in anthropology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had never been to a place where in every field of study, there was Latino faculty,” he says of those years in Texas. “It had me thinking, ‘how do you continue that, but then also (create) the next generation?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mentoring students, he decided, would be a central part of his career. Last year, as anti-immigrant rhetoric filled the airwaves and police descended on Berkeley’s campus in response to planned alt-right events, the knocks on his door became more frequent. Some students had family members being deported, or wanted to know whether they should reapply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the program that granted temporary legal status to some immigrant students but is currently in limbo. A few were experiencing mental breakdowns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My students still feel that sense of stigma that they don’t belong,” he says. “As an educator, you’re up there, and you have to be their lighthouse. They’re navigating so much. They want to see that there’s at least a path for them to get through. And we have to build way more lighthouses because they’re navigating really blind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rising \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/04/new-data-show-tightening-phd-job-market-across-disciplines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">competition\u003c/a>, the demise of affirmative action, and the concentration of California’s Latino undergraduates at less prestigious universities all impede UC’s ability to recruit the next Pablo Gonzalez, said Alex Saragoza, who has taught Chicano/Latino Studies at UC Berkeley since the 1980s. A generation of faculty members hired before \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/04/new-data-show-tightening-phd-job-market-across-disciplines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s Proposition 209\u003c/a> banned affirmative action on public university campuses is now retiring, with an insufficient number of candidates in the pipeline to replace them, Saragoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of the delay is that the majority of Latino students in four-year universities are not in top-tier institutions, and they have to face competition from people at the Princetons and the Yales and Harvards and Berkeleys in terms of getting to a top-tier graduate program that facilitates going on to a teaching career at the college level,” Saragoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet a report on UC Berkeley’s Latino community released last year by a task force of students, faculty and administrators indicated the university could do more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the Latinx demographics approaching 50% in California, our miniscule representation on the Berkeley faculty is a glaring reminder that the campus must make a forceful commitment to identifying departments and fields where faculty [can] be aggressively recruited,” the report reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11656216\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-800x1164.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-800x1164.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-160x233.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1020x1484.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1920x2793.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1180x1716.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-960x1396.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-240x349.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-375x545.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-520x756.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC system is developing a leadership program for Latino faculty and forming an advisory council that can recommend ways to address representation among both faculty and students, UC spokeswoman Claire Doan said. Fellowship and training programs, many privately funded, aim to attract more diverse candidates to graduate programs and faculty positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Merced, the campus with the largest proportion of Latino professors at about 12 percent, faculty-nominated equity advisers strategize with search committee chairs about how to attract diverse candidates and combat implicit bias in hiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re working constantly to make sure the pools we’re hiring from are sufficiently diverse,” said Camfield, the vice provost. “If they aren’t, we extend the search. We’re not willing to let faculty say, ‘Well, this is all we got.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve still got a long way to go,” he added, noting that Latinos make up about half of the campus’ students. But he said the Central Valley location helps lure socially engaged scholars—many of them from underrepresented backgrounds—who are motivated to solve the area’s myriad challenges, from air pollution to health disparities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To change faculty demographics, experts say, start with graduate students. That’s the focus of a five-year nationwide pilot program, \u003ca href=\"https://cmsi.gse.upenn.edu/hsi-pathways\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pathways to the Professoriate\u003c/a>, that matches undergraduates from three universities where more than a quarter of students are Latino—California State University, Northridge, the University of Texas at El Paso and Florida International University—with mentors at five major research universities, including UC Davis and UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students attend a six-week boot camp on research skills and applying to graduate school, receive funding to conduct independent research, and work with mentors on their CVs and essays. Sponsored by the \u003ca href=\"https://cmsi.gse.upenn.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions\u003c/a>, the program has helped identify barriers Latino undergraduate applicants may face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their schools often lack the resources to sponsor summer research programs, or don’t offer languages that might give students a leg up in their fields, said Heidi Schumacher, who directs the Pathways program at Cal State, Northridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have students who commute hours each day while getting good grades and working a full-time job,” she said. “That kind of grit and persistence is an indicator of their potential for success. But that doesn’t show up on a college transcript. So we’re asking the research universities, ‘How can we make what is great about these students legible to you?’ \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight Northridge students who participated in the program’s first group applied to schools this spring. Combined, they have received more than 20 offers of admission with full funding from graduate programs across the country, said Schumacher—including Northwestern, the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just one was accepted to UC Davis, she said, and none to UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This story and other higher education coverage are being supported by the College Futures Foundation.\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\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an abridged version of the full story, which is available at \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/californias-top-public-universities-dearth-latino-professors-matters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a>—a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California’s policies and politics.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The difference between the percentage of UC Berkeley students who are Latino and the proportion of California’s high school graduates who are is bigger than at any other state’s flagship public university, according to \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wgbh.org/on-campus/2018/1/29/many-state-flagship-universities-leave-black-and-latino-students-behind/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hechinger Report\u003c/a>, a nonprofit news organization focused on inequality in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the gap affects something even more fundamental, said Gregg Camfield, vice provost for faculty at UC Merced: the questions researchers ask and how they answer them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a big Western bias toward the individual great mind, but we’re coming to understand that most of the world’s problems are extremely complex,” he said, “and we need to tap the perspectives and experience of a very wide range of people in order to solve them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Designed for 35 students, Gonzalez’s classes on Chicanos, Law and Criminal Justice, Mexican Immigration and Chicano Culture brim with 50 to 60. “It’s not healthy whatsoever, but those are 160 students I want to have a conversation with,” says Gonzalez, who lacks tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His cozy fifth-floor office rarely empties, as students continually stop by to chat or seek advice. “I say ‘this door, as long as it’s open, you can come in.’ The students see a lot of closed doors outside of school because of how they look, who they are, who they are becoming,” he says. “I try to make sure they know that this is their space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11656214\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11656214\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Photo2-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"UC Berkeley students engage in a class that lecturer Pablo Gonzalez teaches on Mexican immigration.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Berkeley students engage in a class that lecturer Pablo Gonzalez teaches on Mexican immigration. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Born just down the street from the wooded campus, Gonzalez grew up in working-class neighborhoods of Berkeley and Richmond, majoring in Chicano Studies at UC Berkeley before heading to the University of Texas for graduate work in anthropology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had never been to a place where in every field of study, there was Latino faculty,” he says of those years in Texas. “It had me thinking, ‘how do you continue that, but then also (create) the next generation?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mentoring students, he decided, would be a central part of his career. Last year, as anti-immigrant rhetoric filled the airwaves and police descended on Berkeley’s campus in response to planned alt-right events, the knocks on his door became more frequent. Some students had family members being deported, or wanted to know whether they should reapply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the program that granted temporary legal status to some immigrant students but is currently in limbo. A few were experiencing mental breakdowns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My students still feel that sense of stigma that they don’t belong,” he says. “As an educator, you’re up there, and you have to be their lighthouse. They’re navigating so much. They want to see that there’s at least a path for them to get through. And we have to build way more lighthouses because they’re navigating really blind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rising \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/04/new-data-show-tightening-phd-job-market-across-disciplines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">competition\u003c/a>, the demise of affirmative action, and the concentration of California’s Latino undergraduates at less prestigious universities all impede UC’s ability to recruit the next Pablo Gonzalez, said Alex Saragoza, who has taught Chicano/Latino Studies at UC Berkeley since the 1980s. A generation of faculty members hired before \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/04/new-data-show-tightening-phd-job-market-across-disciplines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s Proposition 209\u003c/a> banned affirmative action on public university campuses is now retiring, with an insufficient number of candidates in the pipeline to replace them, Saragoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of the delay is that the majority of Latino students in four-year universities are not in top-tier institutions, and they have to face competition from people at the Princetons and the Yales and Harvards and Berkeleys in terms of getting to a top-tier graduate program that facilitates going on to a teaching career at the college level,” Saragoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet a report on UC Berkeley’s Latino community released last year by a task force of students, faculty and administrators indicated the university could do more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the Latinx demographics approaching 50% in California, our miniscule representation on the Berkeley faculty is a glaring reminder that the campus must make a forceful commitment to identifying departments and fields where faculty [can] be aggressively recruited,” the report reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11656216\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-800x1164.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-800x1164.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-160x233.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1020x1484.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1920x2793.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1180x1716.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-960x1396.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-240x349.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-375x545.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-520x756.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC system is developing a leadership program for Latino faculty and forming an advisory council that can recommend ways to address representation among both faculty and students, UC spokeswoman Claire Doan said. Fellowship and training programs, many privately funded, aim to attract more diverse candidates to graduate programs and faculty positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Merced, the campus with the largest proportion of Latino professors at about 12 percent, faculty-nominated equity advisers strategize with search committee chairs about how to attract diverse candidates and combat implicit bias in hiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re working constantly to make sure the pools we’re hiring from are sufficiently diverse,” said Camfield, the vice provost. “If they aren’t, we extend the search. We’re not willing to let faculty say, ‘Well, this is all we got.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve still got a long way to go,” he added, noting that Latinos make up about half of the campus’ students. But he said the Central Valley location helps lure socially engaged scholars—many of them from underrepresented backgrounds—who are motivated to solve the area’s myriad challenges, from air pollution to health disparities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To change faculty demographics, experts say, start with graduate students. That’s the focus of a five-year nationwide pilot program, \u003ca href=\"https://cmsi.gse.upenn.edu/hsi-pathways\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pathways to the Professoriate\u003c/a>, that matches undergraduates from three universities where more than a quarter of students are Latino—California State University, Northridge, the University of Texas at El Paso and Florida International University—with mentors at five major research universities, including UC Davis and UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students attend a six-week boot camp on research skills and applying to graduate school, receive funding to conduct independent research, and work with mentors on their CVs and essays. Sponsored by the \u003ca href=\"https://cmsi.gse.upenn.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions\u003c/a>, the program has helped identify barriers Latino undergraduate applicants may face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their schools often lack the resources to sponsor summer research programs, or don’t offer languages that might give students a leg up in their fields, said Heidi Schumacher, who directs the Pathways program at Cal State, Northridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have students who commute hours each day while getting good grades and working a full-time job,” she said. “That kind of grit and persistence is an indicator of their potential for success. But that doesn’t show up on a college transcript. So we’re asking the research universities, ‘How can we make what is great about these students legible to you?’ \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight Northridge students who participated in the program’s first group applied to schools this spring. Combined, they have received more than 20 offers of admission with full funding from graduate programs across the country, said Schumacher—including Northwestern, the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just one was accepted to UC Davis, she said, and none to UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This story and other higher education coverage are being supported by the College Futures Foundation.\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\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
