Sleep-deprived and eager to learn a new language, he left the North Carolina Piedmont for Taiwan in 2007 where he spent several years reporting on cross-Strait issues for NPR, the Financial Times, and Billboard Magazine. He also repeated low-intermediate Mandarin classes more times than he’d care to admit. After a few years in Asia, Thibault headed to France, where (fortunately) he already spoke the local language. He worked for the international broadcaster France24 as an expert guest and multimedia producer. Now happily married, Thibault is glad to find himself reporting for QUEST and Climate Watch, where he is finally putting his biology degree from Brown University to good use.",

Ultimately, the campus president and CSU chancellor make the final call.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It overrides the rights of students to self-govern,\" Sen. Michael Rubio, D-Bakersfield, said at the Wednesday hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rubio's bill, \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/postquery?bill_number=sb_960&sess=CUR&house=B\" target=\"_blank\">SB 960\u003c/a>, would prevent CSU from setting any mandatory campus-based student fees without a yes vote from either the student body or a campus fee advisory committee made up mostly of student members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSU Chancellor Charles Reed in March signed an \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstate.edu/eo/EO-1070.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">executive order [PDF]\u003c/a> establishing a new mandatory campus-based \"student success fee\" of $240 per year at CSU Los Angeles, even though there was no referendum on the issue and student groups involved in the consultation process took positions against the fee. \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstatela.edu/univ/ppa/publicat/ssf/pdf/SSF.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">documents [PDF]\u003c/a> say the fee will allow CSU Los Angeles to increase retention and graduation rates by hiring more student advisers and a retention coordinator, providing support to a Summer Bridge program, moving the campus' technology infrastructure to a cloud-based system, and more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rather than pursue a student fee referendum, the university opted for an alternative consultation process permitted under state Education Code. This allowed campus groups – Associated Students Inc. and a student fee advisory committee that included student members – to weigh in on the initiative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The student fee advisory committee \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/335744-student-success-fee.html\" target=\"_blank\">recommended\u003c/a> against the student success fee, saying they could not in good conscience vote on additional fees.

CSU Legislative Advocate Andrew Martinez told lawmakers that the bill would go too far to restrict the administration's authority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We think our process works, is fair and is appropriate,\" Martinez said. \"We are very concerned about the restriction of the authority of the board and chancellor to manage its campuses.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CSU system has seen cuts in state support of almost $1 billion over the past four years.

On cursory review, the testimonial, photographic, and video evidence showing that in fact a crowd had partially encircled the police and was shouting chants like “If you let them go, we will let you leave” may appear to support that contention. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, a more careful review reveals several facts that conflict with that belief and which the commanders should have known. For instance, there were breaks in the circle around the officers. Where the circle was unbroken, the line was often still only one- or two-people deep, some of whom were seated, and many of whom may have been observers — crowding around to see what would happen — not protesters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, the more hostile chants were cut off by the majority of the crowd almost as quickly as they had started. Nor did they appear to reflect an actual intent by the crowd to prevent police from leaving with their prisoners. In fact, it was during one of the “If you let them go, we will let you leave” chants that Officer F was able to leave, escorting an arrestee to an awaiting police car by simply walking him straight through the crowd, without incident or force escalation. Officer F then returned and escorted another arrestee out through the crowd, again without incident. Both of the ranking officers in charge of the operation, Lt. Pike and Officer P, were also able to move through the crowd freely, stepping over seated protesters on at least three occasions and just minutes before Lt. Pike sprayed those same protesters with pepper spray. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nor did Kroll identify objective evidence of any attempt by a protester to use violence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We agree with Kroll: on balance, the evidence does not provide an objective, factual basis for Lt. Pike’s purported\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Pike, by the way, was not interviewed by Kroll. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/04/11/MNVS1O1S0T.DTL\">The San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> reports the firm's \"investigators were unable to interview [Pike] because the district attorney is considering prosecution, said Pike's attorney, John Bakhit. Pike submitted a police report in December, some weeks after he was placed on paid leave, which Kroll investigators studied.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Ana Tintocalis today talked to Judge Reynoso, who chaired the UC Davis task force. Reynoso said he's \"anxious to get the word out because the pepper spray incident shouldn’t have happened,” but he said he wouldn't be talking to the media until after today's presentation of the findings at a public meeting at UC Davis. \u003ca href=\"http://demonstrationreviews.ucdavis.edu/reynoso/meeting-webcast.html\">\u003cstrong>You can watch that here at 3:30 p.m\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

On cursory review, the testimonial, photographic, and video evidence showing that in fact a crowd had partially encircled the police and was shouting chants like “If you let them go, we will let you leave” may appear to support that contention. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, a more careful review reveals several facts that conflict with that belief and which the commanders should have known. For instance, there were breaks in the circle around the officers. Where the circle was unbroken, the line was often still only one- or two-people deep, some of whom were seated, and many of whom may have been observers — crowding around to see what would happen — not protesters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, the more hostile chants were cut off by the majority of the crowd almost as quickly as they had started. Nor did they appear to reflect an actual intent by the crowd to prevent police from leaving with their prisoners. In fact, it was during one of the “If you let them go, we will let you leave” chants that Officer F was able to leave, escorting an arrestee to an awaiting police car by simply walking him straight through the crowd, without incident or force escalation. Officer F then returned and escorted another arrestee out through the crowd, again without incident. Both of the ranking officers in charge of the operation, Lt. Pike and Officer P, were also able to move through the crowd freely, stepping over seated protesters on at least three occasions and just minutes before Lt. Pike sprayed those same protesters with pepper spray. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nor did Kroll identify objective evidence of any attempt by a protester to use violence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We agree with Kroll: on balance, the evidence does not provide an objective, factual basis for Lt. Pike’s purported\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Pike, by the way, was not interviewed by Kroll. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/04/11/MNVS1O1S0T.DTL\">The San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/a> reports the firm's \"investigators were unable to interview [Pike] because the district attorney is considering prosecution, said Pike's attorney, John Bakhit. Pike submitted a police report in December, some weeks after he was placed on paid leave, which Kroll investigators studied.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED's Ana Tintocalis today talked to Judge Reynoso, who chaired the UC Davis task force. Reynoso said he's \"anxious to get the word out because the pepper spray incident shouldn’t have happened,” but he said he wouldn't be talking to the media until after today's presentation of the findings at a public meeting at UC Davis. \u003ca href=\"http://demonstrationreviews.ucdavis.edu/reynoso/meeting-webcast.html\">\u003cstrong>You can watch that here at 3:30 p.m\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But in 2009-10, the average annual tuition for an Extended Education undergraduate degree completion program was $7,290 – about 51 percent higher than the $4,827 average annual tuition at CSU at that time, according to a CSU \u003ca href=\"http://calstate.edu/bot/agendas/sep10/EdPol.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report [PDF]\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their 2010 presentation to the CSU Board of Trustees, Executive Vice Chancellor Ephraim Smith and State University Dean of Extended Education Sheila Thomas said that by offering English and math remediation, bottleneck courses, and other classes through Extended Education, CSU could meet its academic mission while \"freeing up resources on the state support side that could be re-deployed to critical areas.\" \u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the higher cost of the offerings, the report described Extended Education prices as affordable when compared with the classes offered by a comparison group of for-profit colleges, which had an average annual tuition of $13,082 in 2009-10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For many students, it is the access to these programs – both at the CSU and at private or for-profit institutions – that can outweigh the higher cost,\" the report said. \"In these challenging fiscal times it is critical to review potential avenues of expansion for Extended Education to meet the needs of CSU students and working professionals.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea has similar characteristics to the \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-0405-pepper-spray-20120405,0,6834089.story\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> at Santa Monica College, where the board of trustees this week approved a plan to offer a set of high-demand classes such as English and math at about $200 per unit, rather than the standard community college price of $36 per unit. The idea is that students who find themselves shut out of the limited state-subsidized classes have the option of paying a premium for a spot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Monica College has seen a backlash.

California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott has questioned the legality of the college's plan and has asked trustees to put it on hold, the Los Angeles Times reports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At CSU, where the university has seen a steady decrease in state revenue and has had to cut thousands of courses and reduce faculty and staff, students already have turned increasingly to Extended Education for the higher-priced classes, data shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstate.edu/as/ers/06-07/table1a.htm\" target=\"_blank\">fall 2006\u003c/a> to \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstate.edu/as/ers/10-11/table1a.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">fall 2010\u003c/a>, the number of CSU students who were enrolled in Extended Education classes grew from 0.6 percent of the student population to 1 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At some campuses, the programs are more widely used. About 11 percent of CSU Dominguez Hills students took Extended Education courses in fall 2010. The campus' \u003ca href=\"http://www.csudh.edu/ee/Fall2011OpenWeb.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Open University [PDF]\u003c/a> catalog of Extended Education courses includes hundreds of classes, from accounting to women's studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Faculty Association has criticized CSU officials' move toward expanding Extended Education, describing it as a \"for-profitization\" of the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The price of doing that is to profoundly change the mission of these institutions, to have them begin to resemble more and more for-profit entities, where money talks and if you have the money, you’re in,\" said Susan Meisenhelder, professor emeritus of English at CSU San Bernardino and former president of the faculty association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the fall 2010 report, CSU officials observed that in order to expand Extended Education on a large scale – particularly online – they would need to amend collective bargaining agreements, executive orders and potentially state Education Code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faculty association representatives, now in the midst of negotiating their contract with CSU, said the university recently has proposed taking away certain pay guarantees for faculty members who teach Extended Education courses – a signal, they say, that the university is clearing the way to expand the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, CSU recently posted a \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstateonline.net/documents.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">request for proposals\u003c/a> for Cal State Online, seeking firms that provide online education to help roll out an increased assortment of online classes. Those courses are planned to be offered through Extended Education, said CSU spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although a May 2011 \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstateonline.net/documents/CSUCrossroads.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report [PDF]\u003c/a> by consulting firm Richard N. Katz & Associates Inc. said bottleneck courses could be good candidates for the Cal State Online initiative, an \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstateonline.net/news/2012/OpenLettertoCSU.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">open letter [PDF]\u003c/a> from Ruth Claire Black, executive director of the Cal State Online Board, said the initiative will start with the roughly 60 online self-support programs that currently exist in the CSU system. Most of those are aimed at working professionals or unemployed adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uhlenkamp said nothing has been decided as far as expanding Extended Education to add more bottleneck and remedial courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There haven’t been decisions made,\" he said. \"We need to review what we currently do and review the climate that we’re in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hasn't stopped the faculty union from trying to head off future moves.

About 11 percent of CSU Dominguez Hills students took Extended Education courses in fall 2010. The campus' \u003ca href=\"http://www.csudh.edu/ee/Fall2011OpenWeb.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Open University [PDF]\u003c/a> catalog of Extended Education courses includes hundreds of classes, from accounting to women's studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Faculty Association has criticized CSU officials' move toward expanding Extended Education, describing it as a \"for-profitization\" of the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The price of doing that is to profoundly change the mission of these institutions, to have them begin to resemble more and more for-profit entities, where money talks and if you have the money, you’re in,\" said Susan Meisenhelder, professor emeritus of English at CSU San Bernardino and former president of the faculty association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the fall 2010 report, CSU officials observed that in order to expand Extended Education on a large scale – particularly online – they would need to amend collective bargaining agreements, executive orders and potentially state Education Code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faculty association representatives, now in the midst of negotiating their contract with CSU, said the university recently has proposed taking away certain pay guarantees for faculty members who teach Extended Education courses – a signal, they say, that the university is clearing the way to expand the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, CSU recently posted a \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstateonline.net/documents.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">request for proposals\u003c/a> for Cal State Online, seeking firms that provide online education to help roll out an increased assortment of online classes. Those courses are planned to be offered through Extended Education, said CSU spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although a May 2011 \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstateonline.net/documents/CSUCrossroads.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">report [PDF]\u003c/a> by consulting firm Richard N. Katz & Associates Inc. said bottleneck courses could be good candidates for the Cal State Online initiative, an \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstateonline.net/news/2012/OpenLettertoCSU.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">open letter [PDF]\u003c/a> from Ruth Claire Black, executive director of the Cal State Online Board, said the initiative will start with the roughly 60 online self-support programs that currently exist in the CSU system. Most of those are aimed at working professionals or unemployed adults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Uhlenkamp said nothing has been decided as far as expanding Extended Education to add more bottleneck and remedial courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There haven’t been decisions made,\" he said. \"We need to review what we currently do and review the climate that we’re in.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That hasn't stopped the faculty union from trying to head off future moves. Assemblywoman Betsy Butler, D-El Segundo, introduced a \u003ca href=\"http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_2401-2450/ab_2427_bill_20120224_introduced.html\" target=\"_blank\">bill\u003c/a> sponsored by the California Faculty Association that would allow CSU students who take Extended Education courses for credit toward a degree to pay no more than the fees charged for any other academic term.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Erica Perez is an investigative journalist at \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/\">California Watch\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

This case was redundant and baseless, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bottom line from both decisions by the 9th Circuit — today's and the ruling 15 years ago — is that California voters have every right to prohibit government from color-coding people and playing favorites based on individuals' sex or skin color,\" Kasarda said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least six states have adopted bans on using affirmative action in state college admissions. Besides California and Michigan, they include Arizona, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates of affirmative action say such bans lead to the exclusion of minority students and less campus diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the year after ban was adopted, the number of black, Latino and Native American students at the University of California's most prestigious campuses — Berkeley and Los Angeles — plummeted by 50 percent, according to the plaintiffs cited in the court opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has tried to compensate for the drop in those students by using other admissions criteria, including a \"comprehensive review\" of applicants, admitting the top 4 percent of graduates from any high school and decreasing the weight of standardized tests, the opinion said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But affirmative action proponents say the measures have not been enough to boost opportunities for historically excluded minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although blacks, Latinos and Native Americans comprise about half of California's high school graduates, they make up only 19.5 percent of the current freshman class at UC Berkeley. Whites compose roughly 30 percent and Asians 48 percent. The remainder is out-of-state students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of affirmative action bans say ruling out race, gender and ethnicity criteria guarantees that all applicants are treated fairly and not discriminated against.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue has led to protracted legal battles in several states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court said the University of Michigan Law School could consider race in admissions decisions to promote campus diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That decision led to a three-judge panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturning Michigan's affirmative action ban last year. The full appellate court, however, has agreed to reconsider the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear another case against the University of Texas, alleging that use of affirmative action is discriminatory. If the court decides against the university, the ruling could definitively end consideration of race in public university admissions.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Washington, who is representing the group of minority students and advocacy groups that filed the latest challenge in January 2010.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Washington said he would ask the full appellate court to review the case since this decision was issued by a three-judge panel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

This case was redundant and baseless, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The bottom line from both decisions by the 9th Circuit — today's and the ruling 15 years ago — is that California voters have every right to prohibit government from color-coding people and playing favorites based on individuals' sex or skin color,\" Kasarda said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least six states have adopted bans on using affirmative action in state college admissions. Besides California and Michigan, they include Arizona, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Washington.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates of affirmative action say such bans lead to the exclusion of minority students and less campus diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, the year after ban was adopted, the number of black, Latino and Native American students at the University of California's most prestigious campuses — Berkeley and Los Angeles — plummeted by 50 percent, according to the plaintiffs cited in the court opinion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has tried to compensate for the drop in those students by using other admissions criteria, including a \"comprehensive review\" of applicants, admitting the top 4 percent of graduates from any high school and decreasing the weight of standardized tests, the opinion said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But affirmative action proponents say the measures have not been enough to boost opportunities for historically excluded minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although blacks, Latinos and Native Americans comprise about half of California's high school graduates, they make up only 19.5 percent of the current freshman class at UC Berkeley. Whites compose roughly 30 percent and Asians 48 percent. The remainder is out-of-state students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backers of affirmative action bans say ruling out race, gender and ethnicity criteria guarantees that all applicants are treated fairly and not discriminated against.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue has led to protracted legal battles in several states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2003, the U.S. Supreme Court said the University of Michigan Law School could consider race in admissions decisions to promote campus diversity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That decision led to a three-judge panel of the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals overturning Michigan's affirmative action ban last year. The full appellate court, however, has agreed to reconsider the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear another case against the University of Texas, alleging that use of affirmative action is discriminatory. If the court decides against the university, the ruling could definitively end consideration of race in public university admissions.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
