Arnold Schwarzenegger. He also served on the Board of Regents of the Uniformed Services University for Health Sciences, and as a special delegate to the United Nations, his biography says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Dooley's March 2015 letter outlining the findings against De La Peña, concerns were raised that De La Peña repeatedly requested that Feinberg find a way to purchase his clinics in a way that wouldn't require approval from the regents. One way was to sell the clinics to Doheny Eye Institute, a well-known research and treatment center. At the time, Doheny was in talks to affiliate with UCLA after a breakup with the University of Southern California; Doheny subsequently became affiliated with UCLA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Dooley does not explicitly say whether he concluded De La Peña tried to arrange a purchase of his clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find that Regent De La Peña continued to engage in discussions regarding the Doheny deal after Regent De La Peña had been recused from participating in the matter,\" he wrote. \"I also find that Regent De La Peña continued to pursue alternative scenarios by which Regent De La Peña's clinics could be turned over to UCLA, up to the time of the January 2014 Regents meeting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/minutes/2014/hs1.pdf\">Minutes of the January 2014 meeting\u003c/a> twice note that De La Peña had recused himself, but also indicate that he asked questions and engaged in discussions about the affiliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christopher Conway, chief of development and public affairs at Doheny, said he was not familiar with the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main whistleblower allegations against De La Peña was that he retaliated against Feinberg for refusing to purchase his clinics. Dooley said he accepted the outside investigator's finding that De La Peña \"did not retaliate against Dr. Feinberg and UCLA for Dr. Feinberg's refusal to involve UCLA in the purchase of Regent De La Peña's ophthalmology clinics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ProPublica requested documents from UC in January involving any findings of impropriety involving members of the Board of Regents, but UC still has not turned over any records in response to that request.

He said that it was UCLA itself that first raised the possibility of leasing space from his eye clinics. And he said he spoke to the university's general counsel, Charles F. Robinson, and told him \"I did not want to do anything that was wrong or inappropriate under UC's policies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his letter, De La Peña blamed Dr. David Feinberg, the former chief executive of the UCLA hospital system, for the whistleblower complaint. De La Peña wrote that Feinberg had violated UC rules by signing a deal with Anthem Blue Cross in September 2014 without the regents' permission. De La Peña also wrote that Feinberg's allegation against him \"was simply a way of getting even' with me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Varner \u003ca href=\"http://www.propublica.org/documents/item/2820778-Varner-letter.html\">wrote a letter to Napolitano\u003c/a> in June 2015, released by UC last week, saying he agreed with De La Peña.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Feinberg, who is now chief executive of Pennsylvania-based Geisinger Health System, declined to comment other than to say in an email, \"I wish all the best for the University of California and UCLA.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The findings on De La Peña come as the University of California is reeling from a string of scandals at its prestigious campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just last week, Napolitano \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article74489837.html\">placed UC Davis Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi\u003c/a> on investigative administrative leave amid \"serious questions\" about Katehi's role in campus hiring and pay raises for her relatives, potential improper use of student fees and the hiring of consultants to downgrade online references to a 2011 incident in which a university police officer pepper sprayed students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Berkeley has been buffeted by accusations that it hasn't taken complaints of sexual harassment seriously, leading to the resignation of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailycal.org/2016/03/10/berkeley-law-dean-resigns-amid-sexual-harassment-allegations-lawsuit/\">law school dean\u003c/a>, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailycal.org/2015/10/14/campus-astronomer-geoffrey-marcy-to-resign-amid-sexual-harassment-allegations/\">prominent astronomy professor\u003c/a> and an \u003ca href=\"http://www.dailycal.org/2016/04/07/yann-hufnagel-submits-letter-resignation-drops-appeal-sex-harassment-findings/\">assistant men's basketball coach\u003c/a>.

Arnold Schwarzenegger. He also served on the Board of Regents of the Uniformed Services University for Health Sciences, and as a special delegate to the United Nations, his biography says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Dooley's March 2015 letter outlining the findings against De La Peña, concerns were raised that De La Peña repeatedly requested that Feinberg find a way to purchase his clinics in a way that wouldn't require approval from the regents. One way was to sell the clinics to Doheny Eye Institute, a well-known research and treatment center. At the time, Doheny was in talks to affiliate with UCLA after a breakup with the University of Southern California; Doheny subsequently became affiliated with UCLA.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the letter, Dooley does not explicitly say whether he concluded De La Peña tried to arrange a purchase of his clinics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I find that Regent De La Peña continued to engage in discussions regarding the Doheny deal after Regent De La Peña had been recused from participating in the matter,\" he wrote. \"I also find that Regent De La Peña continued to pursue alternative scenarios by which Regent De La Peña's clinics could be turned over to UCLA, up to the time of the January 2014 Regents meeting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/minutes/2014/hs1.pdf\">Minutes of the January 2014 meeting\u003c/a> twice note that De La Peña had recused himself, but also indicate that he asked questions and engaged in discussions about the affiliation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christopher Conway, chief of development and public affairs at Doheny, said he was not familiar with the investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the main whistleblower allegations against De La Peña was that he retaliated against Feinberg for refusing to purchase his clinics. Dooley said he accepted the outside investigator's finding that De La Peña \"did not retaliate against Dr. Feinberg and UCLA for Dr. Feinberg's refusal to involve UCLA in the purchase of Regent De La Peña's ophthalmology clinics.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>ProPublica requested documents from UC in January involving any findings of impropriety involving members of the Board of Regents, but UC still has not turned over any records in response to that request. Klein said the documents might be available this week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

AnMarie \u003c!--correct spelling--> Rodgers, a senior policy adviser with the department, said at the hearing that even though colleges have built more housing and have plans to build more, the city would need 28,000 more beds to house just half of those attending school here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those beds won't appear any time soon. The process of building in the city is expensive and slow. David Seward, chief financial officer for UC Hastings College of the Law, told the hearing about another obstacle public colleges face in developing housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no state funding provided to support student housing,\" Seward told supervisors. \"Under the Master Plan for Higher Education, all of these projects must be self-supporting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Squeeze at S.F.

State have increased the demand for local housing among its students, said Jo Volkert, the school's interim vice president of student affairs. Last year, 50 percent of freshmen came from counties outside the Bay Area -- double the rate in 2000. Volkert notes that those students generally don't have family nearby they can live with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erick Gaona, a junior studying environmental science at S.F. State, applied for on-campus housing last semester. Gaona was put on a waitlist. But with school starting, he felt he couldn't wait any longer and began looking for off-campus housing on Craigslist.

Claude’s many contributions will have a lasting impact on our university, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>· Launching a budget reform and simplification effort to base planning and decision-making on more clearly understood and predictable metrics.\u003cbr>\n· Managing the university’s effort to assess and verify its financial deficit as well as develop short and long term strategies for sustaining its excellence in the face of financial challenges. I am confident that the university is now on a path to financial strength in the years ahead.\u003cbr>\n· Designing a new, more centrally managed fund-raising organization with the aim of achieving a closer relationship between the donor and alumni communities and the needs of the university.\u003cbr>\n· Improving the campus climate through the African American Initiative and the diversification of campus leaderships from the athletic department to deanships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will, very shortly, have an announcement about who will fill the EVCP role on an interim basis, including assuming responsibilities for leading the strategic initiatives process, and I greatly appreciate Claude’s readiness to assist with the transition. In the meantime, he has asked me to share with you the following message:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Two years ago, I joined UC Berkeley—an institution I have long admired—with excitement about its twin missions of excellence and access. It has been a privilege to devote my time and energy to growing and supporting the university, and in particular to building a more inclusive community. For academic freedom to be meaningful in the experience of our students, staff and faculty, our university has to be a place where everyone has a sense of belonging and of being valued. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>For all the reasons that the Chancellor just mentioned, I have been fortunate to be part of important developments here, and indeed there are so many more things I would like to be part of in the university’s near- and long-term.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alas, my wife’s ongoing health challenges remain quite significant, and this is simply not a time in our lives where I can afford to further sacrifice our time together. The choice has thus become clear: I can no longer offer UC Berkeley the time and level of commitment it needs from its EVCP, while at the same time being a part of my family in the way I want to be. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>While I am sad to leave the central administration and my beloved colleagues there, my consolation is that I won’t be far away. I am excited to return to my professional life as a psychologist and writer, and will join UC Berkeley’s Department of Psychology next year, a place and group of friends and colleagues that I have known and admired for many years. I am also excited about the opportunity to play a role at the School of Education.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>I want to thank my colleagues in the central administration mightily for the support they have given me and my family, and for their continued dedication and hard work for the university and the UC system. UC-Berkeley is a special place – I am proud of my work as provost, and look forward to continuing to be part of the Berkeley family.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know you will all join me in wishing Dorothy Steele, Claude’s wife, a rapid return to good health. She is and will remain in our thoughts and prayers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will have an opportunity to say more about Claude’s many contributions to the university during his time as EVCP in due course; for now we thank him profoundly for his service, and wish him the very best as he returns to his professional life as a psychologist and writer, and becomes a valued full time member of our faculty. I also want to thank the Cal community for their remarkable resilience during this time of transition. I look forward to continued partnership and collaboration as we go forward with our work to secure Berkeley’s excellence and access for years to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regards,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas B.

Claude’s many contributions will have a lasting impact on our university, including:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>· Launching a budget reform and simplification effort to base planning and decision-making on more clearly understood and predictable metrics.\u003cbr>\n· Managing the university’s effort to assess and verify its financial deficit as well as develop short and long term strategies for sustaining its excellence in the face of financial challenges. I am confident that the university is now on a path to financial strength in the years ahead.\u003cbr>\n· Designing a new, more centrally managed fund-raising organization with the aim of achieving a closer relationship between the donor and alumni communities and the needs of the university.\u003cbr>\n· Improving the campus climate through the African American Initiative and the diversification of campus leaderships from the athletic department to deanships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will, very shortly, have an announcement about who will fill the EVCP role on an interim basis, including assuming responsibilities for leading the strategic initiatives process, and I greatly appreciate Claude’s readiness to assist with the transition. In the meantime, he has asked me to share with you the following message:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Two years ago, I joined UC Berkeley—an institution I have long admired—with excitement about its twin missions of excellence and access. It has been a privilege to devote my time and energy to growing and supporting the university, and in particular to building a more inclusive community. For academic freedom to be meaningful in the experience of our students, staff and faculty, our university has to be a place where everyone has a sense of belonging and of being valued. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>For all the reasons that the Chancellor just mentioned, I have been fortunate to be part of important developments here, and indeed there are so many more things I would like to be part of in the university’s near- and long-term.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alas, my wife’s ongoing health challenges remain quite significant, and this is simply not a time in our lives where I can afford to further sacrifice our time together. The choice has thus become clear: I can no longer offer UC Berkeley the time and level of commitment it needs from its EVCP, while at the same time being a part of my family in the way I want to be. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>While I am sad to leave the central administration and my beloved colleagues there, my consolation is that I won’t be far away. I am excited to return to my professional life as a psychologist and writer, and will join UC Berkeley’s Department of Psychology next year, a place and group of friends and colleagues that I have known and admired for many years. I am also excited about the opportunity to play a role at the School of Education.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>I want to thank my colleagues in the central administration mightily for the support they have given me and my family, and for their continued dedication and hard work for the university and the UC system. UC-Berkeley is a special place – I am proud of my work as provost, and look forward to continuing to be part of the Berkeley family.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I know you will all join me in wishing Dorothy Steele, Claude’s wife, a rapid return to good health. She is and will remain in our thoughts and prayers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We will have an opportunity to say more about Claude’s many contributions to the university during his time as EVCP in due course; for now we thank him profoundly for his service, and wish him the very best as he returns to his professional life as a psychologist and writer, and becomes a valued full time member of our faculty. I also want to thank the Cal community for their remarkable resilience during this time of transition. I look forward to continued partnership and collaboration as we go forward with our work to secure Berkeley’s excellence and access for years to come.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regards,\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nicholas B. Dirks\u003cbr>\nChancellor\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

No es fácil. Yo diría que hasta es más difícil porque hay una obligación inherente que con esto no podemos fracasar, no podemos arruinarlo.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En su mayoría, los distritos escolares por todo el estado de California han estado gastando su parte de los fondos adicionales del estado en aumentar los sueldos de los maestros – lo cual conlleva a graves inquietudes sobre si es un uso apropiado del dinero.\u003cbr>\nLos dirigentes de las escuelas, sin embargo, insisten en que pagarles más dinero a los maestros sí ayuda a los estudiantes en riesgo, porque los buenos maestros sienten mayor voluntad de seguir empleados a largo plazo en las escuelas difíciles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En Oak Ridge, Rolleri piensa usar una gran parte del dinero adicional para una posición: la de subdirector.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rolleri cree que esta posición es crítica porque es la primera línea de defensa para todo lo que ocurre en la escuela, desde atender a padres que discuten hasta ayudar a estudiantes con dificultades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>El valor de la subdirectora\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Subdirectora de la escuela de Oak Ridge, Tiffany Wilson, rara vez se encuentra sentada en su oficina.

No tiene padre presente.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilson explica que su rol ayuda a los estudiantes de alta necesidad en la escuela porque cuando ella atiende sus problemas personales, los maestros pueden dedicarse a la instrucción, y los niños al aprendizaje.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Si bien el impacto que tengo yo sobre lo académico puede ser algo más indirecto, yo sí creo que mi rol es importante por ayudar que los maestros no se sientan abrumados,” comenta Wilson. “Yo me puedo encargar de ciertas cosas, lo cual permite que ellos se dediquen a su cometido.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10926783\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/PlayGroundCheckIn.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-10926783\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10926783\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/PlayGroundCheckIn-800x588.jpg\" alt=\"Director Daniel Rolleri consulta con el especialista en comportamiento de la escuela durante un receso en la escuela Oak Ridge Elementary.\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/PlayGroundCheckIn.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/04/PlayGroundCheckIn-400x294.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Director Daniel Rolleri consulta con el especialista en comportamiento de la escuela durante un receso en la escuela Oak Ridge Elementary. \u003ccite>(Gabriel Salcedo/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hasta el momento, grupos como la American Civil Liberties Union indican que no hay garantías los dólares adicionales produzcan mejores resultados académicos.\u003cbr>\nLas autoridades educativas del estado replican que esto es porque California acaba de cambiar a una nueva prueba estandarizada a nivel estatal, y éste es el primer año en el que todas las escuelas públicas deben implementar las normas académicas del llamado Common Core. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Encima de esto, continúan las autoridades educativas del estado, California está en el proceso de desarrollar un nuevo sistema de rendición de cuentas que mide el rendimiento de las escuelas de una forma completamente nueva, usando múltiples medidas, incluyendo el ambiente en la escuela, la participación de los padres y las calificaciones de las pruebas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aún así, algunos críticos temen que los dirigentes escolares simplemente están financiando a personas y programas ya existentes, sin explorar otras maneras de dirigirse a mejorar las escuelas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Logrando el apoyo de los padres\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En la escuela de Oak Ridge Elementary, la mayoría de los padres con autoridad apoyan la decisión del director por gastar una cantidad importante de los fondos adicionales del estado en el sueldo de la subdirectora de la escuela.\u003cbr>\n“He visto cambios en la escuela,” comenta April Ybarra, madre sin pareja con dos hijas estudiantes en Oak Ridge. “Los administradores están tratando de hacer una diferencia.
