I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

It’s unusual,\" said John Douglass, a research fellow at the Center for Studies in Higher Education at UC Berkeley, and the author of “The California Idea and American Higher Education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can’t recall any other time in which this kind of venue has been set up between the governor and the president about the university's finances and how we spend money,\" Douglass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC has an unusual amount of autonomy for a state school, he said, and while lawmakers have the power of the purse, they can’t tell an individual branch what it should teach, how much money it should spend on research and what the tuition should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This autonomy is enshrined in the state constitution, and the 10-campus UC system is one of about a half-dozen state-funded universities that enjoy such protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California gave UC its independence at its second constitutional convention in 1879, after the Gold Rush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is a decade of tremendous tumult,\" Douglass said. \"Economic depression, drought, race riots in San Francisco. And there was a lot of corruption in that era in the Legislature.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglass said all that chaos was evident at the convention, where almost every issue of the day was debated, including what to do with UC, which had already been established.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was movement by farmers who really wanted the University of California to be a technical college,\" he said. \"And, in fact, one of the early amendments would have students do manual labor, where farmers would be trained on how to plow fields. At that time, after the mining boom, agriculture was emerging as the major economic driver in California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the emerging ag industry might have prevailed if not for Joseph Winans, a San Francisco lawyer and a UC regent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winans was part of a majority of regents who wanted UC to follow in the footsteps of the great research universities in Europe, which were known for independent thinking and scientific research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the regents wanted to give that mission an American twist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In that it would really drive socioeconomic mobility in the state and economic development, but not by training farmers to plow but to do research on soils and how best to plan,\" Douglass said. \"That’s this grand vision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the regents believed this vision would come true only if UC didn’t have to take orders from lawmakers. Winans inserted an amendment into the constitution making it so. A majority of Californians voted in favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And so this is a very expansive concept, and extremely important in terms of the overall economic development of California, partly because it retained that research mission. You have the citrus industry, you have the wine industry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC also pushed forward the fields of computer electronics, nuclear sciences and biotech. And arguably the UC system is the envy of many states and countries around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How did the University of California attain this status?\" Douglass asked rhetorically. \"It relates highly to its autonomy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglas believes that’s the overarching theme of the discussions that will go on between Brown and Napolitano.\u003c/p>\n\n",

It’s unusual,\" said John Douglass, a research fellow at the Center for Studies in Higher Education at UC Berkeley, and the author of “The California Idea and American Higher Education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I can’t recall any other time in which this kind of venue has been set up between the governor and the president about the university's finances and how we spend money,\" Douglass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC has an unusual amount of autonomy for a state school, he said, and while lawmakers have the power of the purse, they can’t tell an individual branch what it should teach, how much money it should spend on research and what the tuition should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This autonomy is enshrined in the state constitution, and the 10-campus UC system is one of about a half-dozen state-funded universities that enjoy such protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California gave UC its independence at its second constitutional convention in 1879, after the Gold Rush.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That is a decade of tremendous tumult,\" Douglass said. \"Economic depression, drought, race riots in San Francisco. And there was a lot of corruption in that era in the Legislature.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglass said all that chaos was evident at the convention, where almost every issue of the day was debated, including what to do with UC, which had already been established.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There was movement by farmers who really wanted the University of California to be a technical college,\" he said. \"And, in fact, one of the early amendments would have students do manual labor, where farmers would be trained on how to plow fields. At that time, after the mining boom, agriculture was emerging as the major economic driver in California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the emerging ag industry might have prevailed if not for Joseph Winans, a San Francisco lawyer and a UC regent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Winans was part of a majority of regents who wanted UC to follow in the footsteps of the great research universities in Europe, which were known for independent thinking and scientific research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the regents wanted to give that mission an American twist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In that it would really drive socioeconomic mobility in the state and economic development, but not by training farmers to plow but to do research on soils and how best to plan,\" Douglass said. \"That’s this grand vision.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, the regents believed this vision would come true only if UC didn’t have to take orders from lawmakers. Winans inserted an amendment into the constitution making it so. A majority of Californians voted in favor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And so this is a very expansive concept, and extremely important in terms of the overall economic development of California, partly because it retained that research mission. You have the citrus industry, you have the wine industry.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC also pushed forward the fields of computer electronics, nuclear sciences and biotech. And arguably the UC system is the envy of many states and countries around the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How did the University of California attain this status?\" Douglass asked rhetorically. \"It relates highly to its autonomy.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Douglas believes that’s the overarching theme of the discussions that will go on between Brown and Napolitano.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

When you are from Manhattan, it is the megacity of all cities in the world. And I wasn’t looking for another city, and San Francisco in comparison is quite a small place. I was looking for a feel, a tone, a texture, and Oakland offered that. It feels like home to me.

To really think differently about what does it mean as a nation to be “indivisible” and what does it mean for us to really make sure that there’s a place for everybody at the table. “Right” would look like a mixed-income opportunity: that you have neighborhoods that are not all affluent or all poor, but in fact we begin to really deliver on the American Dream and create an opportunity for people across a much broader range … to live in a neighborhood where all the benefits of a healthy community are available to everyone in our nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is this boom having any benefit for the young people you serve at Youth UpRising?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”z9UQlyDMpe4adprPJp1jaG6hKfGeamjA”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No. And that’s not just the truth in East Oakland. We work in a neighborhood that we call the \u003ca href=\"http://www.youthuprising.org/media/14552/copy%20of%20castlemont_advantage_privatepartners%20%287%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Castlemont Community\u003c/a>, at Census Tract 4097. That neighborhood really has been untouched by the boom. We have seven times the national crime rate in our neighborhood. And so the interface between crime and gentrification — or “boom,” as some people will call it more politely — isn’t often explored. But the truth is people are not running into a neighborhood where homicide is the leading cause of death. We also, though, have the cover of that to allow us an opportunity to really advance an agenda that’s a mixed-income housing, as opposed to a displacement, strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A young staff member at Youth UpRising was recently shot dead, years after turning his life around. Tell us about him and how you view his passing in light of this boom.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(He was) Born and raised in Sobrante Park, mother strung out on drugs, father completely absent. At 9 years old, really started fending for himself on the streets. And came to us six years ago, I promise you, the kind of kid you see and you cross the street. I \u003cem>promise\u003c/em> you. Very dark, very large, and looked menacing, because life had not been good to him. But as you began to love him, because love changes everything, he unfolded and became by far the best worker on our janitorial crew. …. The problem is that as you become softer, but you’re still living in a hard place, you become much more at risk. He was shot in the head in a dispute with someone else that was ultimately about $8.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And we should be ashamed of ourselves. As we drink our lattes and we commute back and forth with our heated seats and the comfort of what we’ve been fortunate enough to have, what is our responsibility to other Americans? And how dare we pathologize them for a failure that they were born into? That they didn’t create, but they suffer?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But simply bringing more tech jobs to East Oakland wouldn’t solve the problem, because it would displace these struggling young people, too, right?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beauty of our economy and capitalism is that we can specialize. I just need (tech firms) to be an economic engine. Young people are dying in your backyard for a job. They’re \u003cem>dying!\u003c/em> And you have an obligation to that as a corporate citizen, as an economic member of this region. If you don’t want to hire people, let’s have a job creation strategy that’s based on procurement. Let’s onshore Oakland. Let’s bring dollars back in these communities. Because the real test of a country is not how the affluent are doing, but how the affluent treat the people who are lesser among them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cem>Curious about the boom/bust cycle that is reshaping the Bay Area?

That they didn’t create, but they suffer?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>But simply bringing more tech jobs to East Oakland wouldn’t solve the problem, because it would displace these struggling young people, too, right?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beauty of our economy and capitalism is that we can specialize. I just need (tech firms) to be an economic engine. Young people are dying in your backyard for a job. They’re \u003cem>dying!\u003c/em> And you have an obligation to that as a corporate citizen, as an economic member of this region. If you don’t want to hire people, let’s have a job creation strategy that’s based on procurement. Let’s onshore Oakland. Let’s bring dollars back in these communities. Because the real test of a country is not how the affluent are doing, but how the affluent treat the people who are lesser among them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p1\">\u003cem>Curious about the boom/bust cycle that is reshaping the Bay Area?

"content": "\u003cp>Just about everybody who’s anybody in consumer tech is at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cesweb.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Consumer Electronic Show\u003c/a> in Las Vegas. So when Intel’s CEO Brian Krzanich said the company was going to step up and spend $300 million to improve diversity, he made a big splash with all the right people. That, and he spoke to them in the language they love: numbers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will, as good engineers, measure and report our progress on a regular basis, with full transparency,” Krzanich said. “And we’re going to hold our leaders accountable by tying their pay to our progress. This is going to be difficult to achieve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Intel’s employment numbers look much the same as those at other major firms in Silicon Valley.\u003ca href=\"http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/company-overview/equal-employment-opportunity-employer-info-report.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> At last count\u003c/a>, about a quarter of Intel’s U.S. employees were female, 8 percent were Latino and 4 percent were black. Intel is pledging to bump up those numbers substantially — by 14 percent — over the next five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XA7X6emZLTA&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The money will fund a number of initiatives, including college and engineering scholarships, and support more positive representations of underrepresented groups in technology and gaming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I literally got out of bed and jumped up and down for a minute,” says \u003ca href=\"http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/haas/diversity/abramsbio.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eric Abrams\u003c/a>, director of Diversity Initiatives at UC Berkeley’s Haas School of Business. “I think it’s fantastic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says Intel has fired a $300 million shot across the bow, challenging the next generation of tech talent to step up. “It makes an enormous difference to, you know, the college student out there studying symbolic systems at Stanford to think, ‘Wow, Intel’s doing this. I’m going to have a better shot at getting a job there. I’m going to put my nose to the grindstone.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some say, though, that if Intel wants to change the equation in a big way, it needs to fund math and science programs that start much earlier than college — such as in kindergarten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech firms have historically complained that there aren’t enough qualified blacks and Latinos in the job pool. But various studies show Silicon Valley isn’t scooping up all the people available, in part because recruiters habitually favor a short list of elite schools like Stanford and UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists such as the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rainbow PUSH Coalition are applauding Intel’s pledge — and so are local industry analysts like \u003ca href=\"http://wadhwa.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vivek Wadhwa\u003c/a>, who has written a book about women in Silicon Valley called “Innovating Women,” as well as columns for the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and LinkedIn. He was one of many people who took to Twitter to applaud Intel — and challenge corporate rivals to follow Intel’s lead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" lang=\"en\">\u003cp>Intel’s announcement today about diversity initiatives no doubt a great step forward–because it committed to results. Others haven’t yet\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>— Vivek Wadhwa (@wadhwa) \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/wadhwa/status/552928460633817089\">January 7, 2015\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>“I was delighted, actually,” Wadhwa says. “Everyone is getting excited about the $300 million number, but I think the real deal is they have committed to fixing their hiring practices.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says Intel should be doing more than funding scholarships, and should also groom promising people throughout their entire careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kimberly Bryant of \u003ca href=\"http://www.blackgirlscode.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Black Girls Code\u003c/a> in San Francisco says that career starts in kindergarten. “They [companies] are not looking back far enough in the pipeline if they’re just looking at students in high school and college. ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She notes \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/edu/#q=diversity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Google\u003c/a> has a K-12 department that supports work just like this, in after-school programs across the country. “If Intel wants to change the ratio,” Bryant says, “they’re going to have to do similar type of work.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

I’m going to put my nose to the grindstone.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some say, though, that if Intel wants to change the equation in a big way, it needs to fund math and science programs that start much earlier than college — such as in kindergarten.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tech firms have historically complained that there aren’t enough qualified blacks and Latinos in the job pool. But various studies show Silicon Valley isn’t scooping up all the people available, in part because recruiters habitually favor a short list of elite schools like Stanford and UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Activists such as the Rev.

Having said all of that, the hurdles to actually making this happen are high: The bill would need a supermajority vote of support in both the Assembly and Senate, and then approval by voters as a ballot measure in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And again, what's fascinating is how many times the same kind of angst has come -- and gone -- over \u003ca href=\"http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/~ucalhist/archives_exhibits/masterplan/law2.html\" target=\"_blank\">UC's constitutional autonomy\u003c/a>. Its sibling system, the California State University, does not enjoy the same kind of elevated status. Only five other university systems in the United States have some legal independence from the political muscle of their respective legislatures and governors, with only that of the University of Michigan coming close to that given to UC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/28/local/me-uc28\" target=\"_blank\">roll back to the clock to 2009\u003c/a> if you want to find the last big push in Sacramento to zap the University of California's constitutional status. Then, it was also a fight over tuition and fees paid by students -- sprinkled with a dash of what lawmakers thought were overly generous salary and benefit packages being given to UC executives. One of the state senators involved in that effort \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/28/local/me-uc28\" target=\"_blank\">derided the University of California's leadership as running a \"fiefdom\" that wasn't accountable to the public\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And before that, historians will point out how picking a fight with one UC campus helped a washed-up actor become governor. \u003ca href=\"http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/06/08_reagan.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Ronald Reagan's promise to \"clean up the mess at Berkeley\" and its anti-war protests\u003c/a> helped him win the 1966 gubernatorial campaign against Gov. Pat Brown. Once in office, Reagan pressured UC regents to fire Berkeley's chancellor, Clark Kerr. That would have been a lot easier under the new SCA1, given that it calls for regents to be removed by state lawmakers before their terms have ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No doubt another governor, Gov. Pete Wilson, would have also liked to have that power in 1995 -- \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1995-07-21/news/mn-26379_1_regents-vote-affirmative-action-university-of-california-regents\" target=\"_blank\">when he lobbied UC regents to dismantle affirmative action policies at the university\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Schrag, one of \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/California.html?id=EIPF5yWu3a8C\" target=\"_blank\">California's most celebrated political writers\u003c/a>, was a critic of the 2009 plan to do away with UC's autonomy, \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/08/news/OE-SCHRAG8\" target=\"_blank\">pointing out at the time\u003c/a> previous threats from state lawmakers to academic freedom -- most notably, during the anti-Communist campaigns of the 1950s. Schrag thinks this new attempt is the wrong approach, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"UC's constitutional autonomy has been very useful,\" said Schrag earlier this week. He agrees that the university has often hurt its independence with \"self-serving practices, pretensions, and a lot of budgetary fudging,\" but argues the UC independent-or-not-independent debate is really just part of a much larger issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the inherent tension between the meritocratic and the democratic values of public higher education,\" said Schrag. \"Places like Berkeley, UCLA and [UC] San Diego are particularly afflicted by that tension. It's not often pretty, but I'm still surprised by how well the selective UCs have walked that line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the tension between the political and academic worlds is again on the rise. There are signs that, while publicly sizing each other up for a fight, lawmakers and UC's top brass realize that neither can outmuscle the other, and the legislation could simply be meant as a shot across UC's bow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, UC leaders face real pressures from Sacramento, including \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/johnmyers/status/539521116520202240\" target=\"_blank\">a new call\u003c/a> from Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) for a line-item review of the entire system's expenditures. And while UC still has its constitutional freedom, Brown and legislators could -- if things really got bad -- invoke a nuclear option: simply decrease UC's budget by the amount the regents increase tuition, a dollar-for-dollar cut. After all, while the university has independence in how it spends money, it still needs the state to actually give it the cash.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Having said all of that, the hurdles to actually making this happen are high: The bill would need a supermajority vote of support in both the Assembly and Senate, and then approval by voters as a ballot measure in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And again, what's fascinating is how many times the same kind of angst has come -- and gone -- over \u003ca href=\"http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/~ucalhist/archives_exhibits/masterplan/law2.html\" target=\"_blank\">UC's constitutional autonomy\u003c/a>. Its sibling system, the California State University, does not enjoy the same kind of elevated status. Only five other university systems in the United States have some legal independence from the political muscle of their respective legislatures and governors, with only that of the University of Michigan coming close to that given to UC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/28/local/me-uc28\" target=\"_blank\">roll back to the clock to 2009\u003c/a> if you want to find the last big push in Sacramento to zap the University of California's constitutional status. Then, it was also a fight over tuition and fees paid by students -- sprinkled with a dash of what lawmakers thought were overly generous salary and benefit packages being given to UC executives. One of the state senators involved in that effort \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/28/local/me-uc28\" target=\"_blank\">derided the University of California's leadership as running a \"fiefdom\" that wasn't accountable to the public\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And before that, historians will point out how picking a fight with one UC campus helped a washed-up actor become governor. \u003ca href=\"http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/06/08_reagan.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Ronald Reagan's promise to \"clean up the mess at Berkeley\" and its anti-war protests\u003c/a> helped him win the 1966 gubernatorial campaign against Gov. Pat Brown. Once in office, Reagan pressured UC regents to fire Berkeley's chancellor, Clark Kerr. That would have been a lot easier under the new SCA1, given that it calls for regents to be removed by state lawmakers before their terms have ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No doubt another governor, Gov. Pete Wilson, would have also liked to have that power in 1995 -- \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1995-07-21/news/mn-26379_1_regents-vote-affirmative-action-university-of-california-regents\" target=\"_blank\">when he lobbied UC regents to dismantle affirmative action policies at the university\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Schrag, one of \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/California.html?id=EIPF5yWu3a8C\" target=\"_blank\">California's most celebrated political writers\u003c/a>, was a critic of the 2009 plan to do away with UC's autonomy, \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/08/news/OE-SCHRAG8\" target=\"_blank\">pointing out at the time\u003c/a> previous threats from state lawmakers to academic freedom -- most notably, during the anti-Communist campaigns of the 1950s. Schrag thinks this new attempt is the wrong approach, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"UC's constitutional autonomy has been very useful,\" said Schrag earlier this week. He agrees that the university has often hurt its independence with \"self-serving practices, pretensions, and a lot of budgetary fudging,\" but argues the UC independent-or-not-independent debate is really just part of a much larger issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the inherent tension between the meritocratic and the democratic values of public higher education,\" said Schrag. \"Places like Berkeley, UCLA and [UC] San Diego are particularly afflicted by that tension. It's not often pretty, but I'm still surprised by how well the selective UCs have walked that line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the tension between the political and academic worlds is again on the rise. There are signs that, while publicly sizing each other up for a fight, lawmakers and UC's top brass realize that neither can outmuscle the other, and the legislation could simply be meant as a shot across UC's bow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, UC leaders face real pressures from Sacramento, including \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/johnmyers/status/539521116520202240\" target=\"_blank\">a new call\u003c/a> from Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) for a line-item review of the entire system's expenditures. And while UC still has its constitutional freedom, Brown and legislators could -- if things really got bad -- invoke a nuclear option: simply decrease UC's budget by the amount the regents increase tuition, a dollar-for-dollar cut. After all, while the university has independence in how it spends money, it still needs the state to actually give it the cash.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Hosts Ki Sung and Katrina Schwartz introduce listeners to educators, researchers, parents and students who are developing effective ways to improve how kids learn. We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum. This podcast is part of the MindShift education site, a division of KQED News. KQED is an NPR/PBS member station based in San Francisco.
