His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

Over the years, she recovered from the anxiety disorder, called \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://childmind.org/guide/selective-mutism/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">mutism\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, but in March went silent again, at the age of 8.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">The mood change occurred soon after her school shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">Normally a social butterfly and a good student, after the pandemic forced the school to adopt full-time distance learning, Kenley often crumpled into a ball and hid under her blanket, clutching Green Guy, her favorite stuffed animal. Most of the time she refused to talk. The few words she did utter were expressed in her stuffy’s cartoon voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">Instead of logging onto Zoom for classes, she spent much of the day gaming, glued to a hot pink iPad. She also stopped drawing and started to eat more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">“There was a kind of almost compulsive snacking that I had never seen before,” said Jay Gupta, Kenley’s dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">Kenley said she was \"really shocked\" when her school closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">\"I was really sad I couldn’t see my friends,” she explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">As a single dad, Jay is struggling, too. He's trying to juggle his job as a philosophy professor and\u003ci> \u003c/i>keep Kenley’s twin brother, Anakin, on track as well. Anakin despises distance learning as much as his sister does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">“I much prefer real school because I’m an energy boy,” he said. “Home school, I just sit on the couch and say blaah.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">Though Anakin’s mental health hasn’t declined during the lockdown, the 8-year-old did fall behind in his school work as the months passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">“I really felt like I was out at sea,” said his father. “At some point, I gave up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Alarming Trends\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Even before the coronavirus hit, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/childrensmentalhealth/data.html\">\u003cspan class=\"s4\">mental health problems\u003c/span>\u003c/a> like depression and anxiety were on the rise in children from ages 6 to 17, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. \u003ca href=\"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7267797/\">\u003cspan class=\"s4\">Research\u003c/span>\u003c/a> shows social isolation can make these symptoms worse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11848016\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11848016 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45889_004_KQED_Oakland_GuptaFamily_11092020-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"On stressful days Kenley and Anakin Gupta jump on their trampoline at their home in Oakland.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45889_004_KQED_Oakland_GuptaFamily_11092020-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45889_004_KQED_Oakland_GuptaFamily_11092020-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45889_004_KQED_Oakland_GuptaFamily_11092020-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45889_004_KQED_Oakland_GuptaFamily_11092020-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/RS45889_004_KQED_Oakland_GuptaFamily_11092020-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">On stressful days, Kenley and Anakin Gupta jump on their trampoline at their home in Oakland. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp class=\"p8\">Currently there’s little hard data about how the pandemic is affecting children’s mental health, mostly because the outbreak is still unfolding and research takes time. The little that scientists have measured is worrisome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A national \u003ca href=\"https://www.americaspromise.org/sites/default/files/d8/Updated%20Appendix.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey\u003c/a> conducted in late April and early May of 3,300 high school students \u003ca href=\"https://www.americaspromise.org/sites/default/files/d8/YouthDuringCOVID_FINAL%20%281%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">found\u003c/a> nearly a third reporting they were unhappy and depressed \"much more than usual\" in the past month. Almost 51% said they felt a lot more uncertainty about the future as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overseas, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340763347_Immediate_psychological_effects_of_the_COVID-19_quarantine_in_youth_from_Italy_and_Spain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan class=\"s4\">survey\u003c/span>\u003c/a> of 1,143 parents measuring the effects of the lockdowns in Italy and Spain, nearly 86% reported changes in their children such as difficulty concentrating and spending more time online and asleep, and less time engaging in physical activity. A\u003cspan class=\"s5\"> \u003ca href=\"https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2765196\">\u003cspan class=\"s4\">study\u003c/span>\u003c/a> of 2,330 schoolchildren in China after a month of sheltering in place reported that a\u003c/span>nxiety more than doubled the rates found in previous surveys of the age group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p11\">There's plenty of anecdotal evidence, at least, to corroborate these findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">“We see high levels of anxiety,” said Saun-Toy Trotter, a psychotherapist at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland. “High levels of depression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Her school based clinic recorded more youth suicide attempts in the first four weeks of the pandemic than it did in the entire previous year, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">“They’re giving up hope,” Trotter said. “There's nowhere to go. There's nothing to do. There's nothing to connect with. There’s just deflatedness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Trotter advises parents to check in often with their kids, listen closely and set routines. And to remember self-care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">“Give yourself as much permission as possible to relax,” she said. “Rest. Reset. Restore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Schools and community organizations are also learning how to support students through virtual events, telehealth sessions and socially distanced activities. Trotter cites the working farm at Castlemont High School in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">“There are students who garden there three days a week growing kiwis and red peppers,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">She quoted one teen who was looking on the bright side. \"‘If it weren’t for COVID, I wouldn’t be sticking my hands in the dirt for the first time,'” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cb>Finding Resilience\u003c/b>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">The Gupta family turned a corner over the summer when the twins enrolled in a daily outdoor camp. Within weeks Kenley rebounded and was back to her old self.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">“It is notable that her mood took a 180,” Jay said. “She’s a different person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">The increased social interaction paved the way for a soft landing when the twins returned to distance learning in the fall. An art therapist recently inspired Kenley to start sketching again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">She still sulks, battling a kind of internal silent storm, but her father is discovering new ways to help her cope. If someone in the family sits next to Kenley during Zoom classes, she pays closer attention, for instance. Just the simple presence of someone familiar keeps her anchored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Jay looks forward to the day when Kenley is supported by her teachers in person again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\"I'm all for opening the schools,\" he said, as long as its done safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Over the years, she recovered from the anxiety disorder, called \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://childmind.org/guide/selective-mutism/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">mutism\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">, but in March went silent again, at the age of 8.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p3\">The mood change occurred soon after her school shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">Normally a social butterfly and a good student, after the pandemic forced the school to adopt full-time distance learning, Kenley often crumpled into a ball and hid under her blanket, clutching Green Guy, her favorite stuffed animal. Most of the time she refused to talk. The few words she did utter were expressed in her stuffy’s cartoon voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">Instead of logging onto Zoom for classes, she spent much of the day gaming, glued to a hot pink iPad. She also stopped drawing and started to eat more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">“There was a kind of almost compulsive snacking that I had never seen before,” said Jay Gupta, Kenley’s dad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">Kenley said she was \"really shocked\" when her school closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">\"I was really sad I couldn’t see my friends,” she explained.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">As a single dad, Jay is struggling, too. He's trying to juggle his job as a philosophy professor and\u003ci> \u003c/i>keep Kenley’s twin brother, Anakin, on track as well. Anakin despises distance learning as much as his sister does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">“I much prefer real school because I’m an energy boy,” he said. “Home school, I just sit on the couch and say blaah.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">Though Anakin’s mental health hasn’t declined during the lockdown, the 8-year-old did fall behind in his school work as the months passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">“I really felt like I was out at sea,” said his father. “At some point, I gave up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The little that scientists have measured is worrisome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A national \u003ca href=\"https://www.americaspromise.org/sites/default/files/d8/Updated%20Appendix.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">survey\u003c/a> conducted in late April and early May of 3,300 high school students \u003ca href=\"https://www.americaspromise.org/sites/default/files/d8/YouthDuringCOVID_FINAL%20%281%29.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">found\u003c/a> nearly a third reporting they were unhappy and depressed \"much more than usual\" in the past month. Almost 51% said they felt a lot more uncertainty about the future as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overseas, in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340763347_Immediate_psychological_effects_of_the_COVID-19_quarantine_in_youth_from_Italy_and_Spain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u003cspan class=\"s4\">survey\u003c/span>\u003c/a> of 1,143 parents measuring the effects of the lockdowns in Italy and Spain, nearly 86% reported changes in their children such as difficulty concentrating and spending more time online and asleep, and less time engaging in physical activity. A\u003cspan class=\"s5\"> \u003ca href=\"https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2765196\">\u003cspan class=\"s4\">study\u003c/span>\u003c/a> of 2,330 schoolchildren in China after a month of sheltering in place reported that a\u003c/span>nxiety more than doubled the rates found in previous surveys of the age group.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p11\">There's plenty of anecdotal evidence, at least, to corroborate these findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">“We see high levels of anxiety,” said Saun-Toy Trotter, a psychotherapist at UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital in Oakland. “High levels of depression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Her school based clinic recorded more youth suicide attempts in the first four weeks of the pandemic than it did in the entire previous year, she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">“They’re giving up hope,” Trotter said. “There's nowhere to go. There's nothing to do. There's nothing to connect with. There’s just deflatedness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Trotter advises parents to check in often with their kids, listen closely and set routines. And to remember self-care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">“Give yourself as much permission as possible to relax,” she said. “Rest. Reset. Restore.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Schools and community organizations are also learning how to support students through virtual events, telehealth sessions and socially distanced activities. Trotter cites the working farm at Castlemont High School in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">“There are students who garden there three days a week growing kiwis and red peppers,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">She quoted one teen who was looking on the bright side. \"‘If it weren’t for COVID, I wouldn’t be sticking my hands in the dirt for the first time,'” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cb>Finding Resilience\u003c/b>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp class=\"p5\">The Gupta family turned a corner over the summer when the twins enrolled in a daily outdoor camp. Within weeks Kenley rebounded and was back to her old self.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">“It is notable that her mood took a 180,” Jay said. “She’s a different person.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">The increased social interaction paved the way for a soft landing when the twins returned to distance learning in the fall. An art therapist recently inspired Kenley to start sketching again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">She still sulks, battling a kind of internal silent storm, but her father is discovering new ways to help her cope. If someone in the family sits next to Kenley during Zoom classes, she pays closer attention, for instance. Just the simple presence of someone familiar keeps her anchored.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp class=\"p7\">Jay looks forward to the day when Kenley is supported by her teachers in person again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\"I'm all for opening the schools,\" he said, as long as its done safely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>The University of California system has reached a proposed $73 million settlement with seven women who accused a former gynecologist of sexual abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the class-action lawsuit, more than 6,600 patients of Dr. James Heaps could receive part of the settlement — even if they have not accused the former UCLA gynecologist of abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge must approve the deal between the seven plaintiffs, representing thousands of Heaps’ patients, and the University of California regents and the doctor. The proposed agreement, which includes several mandated reforms at UCLA, was filed Monday in federal court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patients have accused Heaps of sexual assault and sexual misconduct between 1983 and 2018, when he worked at the UCLA student health center and UCLA Medical Center. Accusations include making sexually inappropriate comments to patients, touching women sexually during exams without wearing gloves and simulating intercourse, often roughly, with an ultrasound probe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The settlement is separate from criminal charges against Heaps, 63, whose medical license has been suspended by court order as that case moves forward. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges involving seven women and denied wrongdoing. He is due back in state court on Dec. 7.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of his former patients have come to his defense, saying he never acted improperly during their medical appointments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed settlement is the latest agreement to give payouts to thousands of patients of male doctors who are accused of sexual assault and sexual misconduct. A federal judge approved a $215 million settlement for 18,000 women who were patients of a former gynecologist, Dr. George Tyndall, at the University of Southern California, a private university also in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heaps’ attorney did not immediately return a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA has said its investigation into the gynecologist began in December 2017, though officials did not alert the campus community of the allegations until Heaps was in court last year. He retired in 2018 when UCLA declined to renew his contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The incidents described in the lawsuit reflect alleged conduct that is contrary to our values,” UCLA Health said Monday in a statement. “We thank the individuals who came forward and hope that this settlement — which is still subject to court approval — is one small step forward for the patients involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 200 women contacted UCLA after Heaps was arrested in June 2019 to report their experiences with the doctor, according to the settlement. UCLA has identified about 5,000 patients who were previously under Heaps’ care and estimate that an additional 1,600 women were treated by him but that their records no longer exist at the university. They are all covered under the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement does not require Heaps to admit wrongdoing or contribute toward the $73 million, though he signed off on the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA said it will implement a new process for investigating allegations of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct, as well as institute a formal chaperone policy. Other reforms stipulated in the settlement include training on boundaries, advertising of patient reporting options, compliance monitoring and investigations into potential misconduct allegations as medical staff are credentialed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The patients’ payouts begin at a guaranteed minimum of $2,500, regardless of whether the women accused Heaps of harassment or assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our view, these women were still put in harm’s way and deserve compensation on those grounds,” said Elizabeth Kramer, one of several attorneys representing the victims. “We don’t have a way of knowing every single woman who would allege sexual misconduct by Dr. Heaps.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the lawsuit’s plaintiffs, known as E.F. in the lawsuit, had been seeing Heaps regularly for several years when she said his conduct changed and he touched her breasts sexually and made inappropriate comments in a 2014 appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a 2016 visit to his office, she said Heaps touched her sexually during a pelvic exam. She shifted her body and looked at him in disgust, court documents say, and he smirked and left the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew in my gut that something was wrong,” she told The Associated Press, which does not identify victims of sexual assault. “I was completely violated. It was that simple.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E.F., now 49, did not report her allegations to UCLA or law enforcement. She decided to come forward as a plaintiff in the lawsuit to set an example for her teenage daughters and be a part of pushing UCLA to enact reforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it is time for her daughters to visit gynecologists, “I want to know that they’re safe,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patients can seek amounts of $250,000, or higher in certain cases. A panel of experts will decide how much each patient is paid based on her experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $73 million does not include attorneys’ fees or litigation expenses. UCLA will pay those separately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 100 of Heaps’ former patients have filed individual lawsuits. University of California regents have settled at least two, while others are ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom approved a measure allowing a one-year window — all of 2021 — for victims to file legal claims against Heaps and UCLA that could otherwise have been too late under an existing statute of limitations.\u003c/p>\n\n",

A federal judge approved a $215 million settlement for 18,000 women who were patients of a former gynecologist, Dr. George Tyndall, at the University of Southern California, a private university also in Los Angeles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heaps’ attorney did not immediately return a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA has said its investigation into the gynecologist began in December 2017, though officials did not alert the campus community of the allegations until Heaps was in court last year. He retired in 2018 when UCLA declined to renew his contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The incidents described in the lawsuit reflect alleged conduct that is contrary to our values,” UCLA Health said Monday in a statement. “We thank the individuals who came forward and hope that this settlement — which is still subject to court approval — is one small step forward for the patients involved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 200 women contacted UCLA after Heaps was arrested in June 2019 to report their experiences with the doctor, according to the settlement. UCLA has identified about 5,000 patients who were previously under Heaps’ care and estimate that an additional 1,600 women were treated by him but that their records no longer exist at the university. They are all covered under the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement does not require Heaps to admit wrongdoing or contribute toward the $73 million, though he signed off on the settlement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA said it will implement a new process for investigating allegations of sexual assault, harassment and misconduct, as well as institute a formal chaperone policy. Other reforms stipulated in the settlement include training on boundaries, advertising of patient reporting options, compliance monitoring and investigations into potential misconduct allegations as medical staff are credentialed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The patients’ payouts begin at a guaranteed minimum of $2,500, regardless of whether the women accused Heaps of harassment or assault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In our view, these women were still put in harm’s way and deserve compensation on those grounds,” said Elizabeth Kramer, one of several attorneys representing the victims. “We don’t have a way of knowing every single woman who would allege sexual misconduct by Dr. Heaps.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the lawsuit’s plaintiffs, known as E.F. in the lawsuit, had been seeing Heaps regularly for several years when she said his conduct changed and he touched her breasts sexually and made inappropriate comments in a 2014 appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a 2016 visit to his office, she said Heaps touched her sexually during a pelvic exam. She shifted her body and looked at him in disgust, court documents say, and he smirked and left the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew in my gut that something was wrong,” she told The Associated Press, which does not identify victims of sexual assault. “I was completely violated. It was that simple.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>E.F., now 49, did not report her allegations to UCLA or law enforcement. She decided to come forward as a plaintiff in the lawsuit to set an example for her teenage daughters and be a part of pushing UCLA to enact reforms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it is time for her daughters to visit gynecologists, “I want to know that they’re safe,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patients can seek amounts of $250,000, or higher in certain cases. A panel of experts will decide how much each patient is paid based on her experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $73 million does not include attorneys’ fees or litigation expenses. UCLA will pay those separately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 100 of Heaps’ former patients have filed individual lawsuits. University of California regents have settled at least two, while others are ongoing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom approved a measure allowing a one-year window — all of 2021 — for victims to file legal claims against Heaps and UCLA that could otherwise have been too late under an existing statute of limitations.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Soon after, big institutions like Harvard and MIT\u003ca href=\"https://www.harvard.edu/sites/default/files/content/sevp_filing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> filed a lawsuit,\u003c/a> resulting in the initial guidance being rescinded \u003ca href=\"https://www.acenet.edu/News-Room/Pages/Trump-Administration-Withdraws-Directive-Banning-International-Students.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">before the lawsuit moved forward\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the guidance being rescinded, the initial threat created a lot of concern among international students, who feared they might not be able to re-enter the country for school if the guidance were to have been approved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11847090\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11847090\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-800x1210.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1210\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-800x1210.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-1020x1542.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-160x242.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221-1016x1536.jpg 1016w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/11/IMG_2221.jpg 1064w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Om Dhankara is an international student from Gujarat, India studying at SFSU. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Om Dhankara)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>And some students are faced with a stark decision to stay or return to their home country to care for family members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Om Dhankara, originally from Gujarat, India, came to the Bay Area at the end of last year. Before COVID-19, the 19-year-old was looking forward to the next four years experiencing a new campus. He decided to go to the Cal State University with the fifth-highest acceptance rate of international students: San Francisco State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He began his studies at SFSU in January and was only able to experience in-person instruction for a month and a half. In that short amount of time, Dhankara saw the culture and diversity that makes up San Francisco and made connections with professors and students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really excited to have those classes as this was like a new thing for me to learn. I was meeting new people, new professors, and new culture and everything,” Dhankara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhankara feels grateful that he was able to arrive at SFSU before the pandemic hit, but now he is faced with a difficult decision: whether to stay, social distancing in the Bay Area with five of his roommates, or return to India to take care of his father, who’s battling the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not good for me right now, to stay here, but I can’t do anything right now,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhankara plans on staying at SFSU until 2024, and as soon as a vaccine for the virus comes out, he plans on visiting his family in India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another student, Chayanee Jantaradaval, originally from Thailand, is in her last year at San Francisco State studying international business. Jantaradaval came to the Bay Area in 2017. Luckily, she was able to have a typical college experience for most of her undergraduate career – but Jantaradaval never expected to finish her last year at SFSU online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re staying in San Francisco, paying San Francisco prices, but we’re not getting the San Francisco experience that we looked forward to, coming as an international student,” said Jantaradaval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that she pays about $25,000 per semester. That includes per-unit class fees and off-campus living, food and transportation expenses. Despite the cost, Jantaradaval decided to persevere and complete her education during the pandemic. She’s on-track to graduate in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sora Matsushita – who returned back to Japan on Oct. 21 – made the decision to head home after confirming he could watch his SF State courses’ online lectures at a time convenient for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shame that I have to learn this way because I feel like I could be learning much more in person,” said Matsushita, who is studying behavioral economics. He decided to continue his studies in Japan while taking care of his mother, who currently lives alone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t want her to go out and expose herself,” he said of his mother, who is at high risk for COVID-19. He plans to come back to San Francisco in January to finish his last semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the pandemic continues to keep people grappling with uncertainty, international students remain hopeful that after they graduate they will be able to get a job in the US. Upon graduating, international students are allowed to stay in the country for 90 days to find a job that will sponsor their visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You need to be hired within the first three months, and that opportunity is definitely one of the reasons that I chose to even come to the United States,” Jantaradaval said. She still hopes to secure a job in real estate, despite the struggles the coronavirus has posed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Typically, students have to apply for a student visa, schedule an interview with the consulate and if they are approved then they have to gather the appropriate documents and prepare to come into the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But since the consulates were closed during the time of admittance, students were unable to obtain a valid visa because the process can take months to complete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Consulates began reopening in June and July, but it may not have been enough time for students to get their visas,” Van Cleve said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The impact of the 11% decrease in international students goes beyond money. “They add to the diversity of the campus, the exchange of differing perspectives which benefit fellow students and the entire university community,” Van Cleve wrote in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Deportation Threat, Rescinded\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Van Cleve also mentioned that the Trump administration’s rash decision to deport international students due to all virtual classes caused confusion and fear among students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/sevp-modifies-temporary-exemptions-nonimmigrant-students-taking-online-courses-during\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">issued guidance in July\u003c/a> that threatened to deport international students to their home countries if they were unable to take at least one in-person class due to the pandemic.

Before COVID-19, the 19-year-old was looking forward to the next four years experiencing a new campus. He decided to go to the Cal State University with the fifth-highest acceptance rate of international students: San Francisco State University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He began his studies at SFSU in January and was only able to experience in-person instruction for a month and a half. In that short amount of time, Dhankara saw the culture and diversity that makes up San Francisco and made connections with professors and students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was really excited to have those classes as this was like a new thing for me to learn. I was meeting new people, new professors, and new culture and everything,” Dhankara said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhankara feels grateful that he was able to arrive at SFSU before the pandemic hit, but now he is faced with a difficult decision: whether to stay, social distancing in the Bay Area with five of his roommates, or return to India to take care of his father, who’s battling the coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not good for me right now, to stay here, but I can’t do anything right now,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dhankara plans on staying at SFSU until 2024, and as soon as a vaccine for the virus comes out, he plans on visiting his family in India.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another student, Chayanee Jantaradaval, originally from Thailand, is in her last year at San Francisco State studying international business. Jantaradaval came to the Bay Area in 2017. Luckily, she was able to have a typical college experience for most of her undergraduate career – but Jantaradaval never expected to finish her last year at SFSU online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re staying in San Francisco, paying San Francisco prices, but we’re not getting the San Francisco experience that we looked forward to, coming as an international student,” said Jantaradaval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said that she pays about $25,000 per semester. That includes per-unit class fees and off-campus living, food and transportation expenses. Despite the cost, Jantaradaval decided to persevere and complete her education during the pandemic. She’s on-track to graduate in the spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sora Matsushita – who returned back to Japan on Oct. 21 – made the decision to head home after confirming he could watch his SF State courses’ online lectures at a time convenient for him. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a shame that I have to learn this way because I feel like I could be learning much more in person,” said Matsushita, who is studying behavioral economics. He decided to continue his studies in Japan while taking care of his mother, who currently lives alone. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I didn’t want her to go out and expose herself,” he said of his mother, who is at high risk for COVID-19. He plans to come back to San Francisco in January to finish his last semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the pandemic continues to keep people grappling with uncertainty, international students remain hopeful that after they graduate they will be able to get a job in the US. Upon graduating, international students are allowed to stay in the country for 90 days to find a job that will sponsor their visa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You need to be hired within the first three months, and that opportunity is definitely one of the reasons that I chose to even come to the United States,” Jantaradaval said. She still hopes to secure a job in real estate, despite the struggles the coronavirus has posed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Statewide, many students of color enter college but don’t graduate. Among Californians who identify as Black, Latino, Native American and Pacific Islander, about half of those who attended college left without a degree, according to a 2019 report by the Campaign for College Opportunity.

A member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Claypool grew up in Wyoming near the Wind River Reservation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was 9 years old, I knew that I had to get out of Wyoming,” she said. “I knew that I lacked opportunity there to grow. So I knew I had to be, like, in the city. I knew I had to get a university education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claypool moved to California and enrolled at Laney Community College in Oakland, when she first encountered the Indigenous Native Coalition. Students from the program helped her apply to Berkeley and introduced her to the Native community there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspired by her experience, Claypool is currently surveying Native American students about the challenges they face in getting to college — asking them about things like housing and financial aid. Communicating directly with students, she believes, is the best way to identify and address those hurdles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Native Americans represent about the smallest population in higher education,” Claypool said. “But we would benefit greatly from education. We need more tribal leaders who can speak up for tribes and assert, you know, on policy and legislation and things that affect our communities directly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, the Pan African Student Association sat down with representatives of the University of California’s Office of the President to discuss ways the UC could support its Black students. They proposed a Black research grant that would fund Black student leaders to study how the university could improve recruitment and retention in their community. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the topics Banjo said students hope to tackle: how to improve Black graduation rates, and why Black alumni from some campuses earn significantly less than white alumni after graduation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to help shape the UC as a model for successful Black students in higher education,” he said, “while Black students are compensated for that labor as organizers and scholars.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11844299 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/BreanneYee_AW_sized-1020x693.jpg']UC spokesperson Claire Doan said that the university was “interested in the idea of a Black research grant program systemwide” and had asked students for a detailed, written proposal. But, she added, “We cannot take any action until we have a clearer idea of our budget and whether we have the funding necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 16 would have given the UC more legal flexibility to support projects like Claypool’s and Banjo’s. But perhaps a bigger challenge is finding the money to boost recruitment and retention of underrepresented students systemwide. The university lost $300 million in funding this year after the coronavirus pandemic put the squeeze on state budgets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our capacity does not in any way meet the demand, and as California’s population has continued to grow and diversify and as students (from underrepresented backgrounds) have moved out of urban centers into more suburban areas, our ability to reach those students has been impacted,” Yvette Gullatt, UC’s chief diversity officer, told the university’s regents at a recent meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, as the vote totals for Proposition 16 rolled in, the No on 16 campaign jubilantly declared victory over a measure that California’s Democratic-dominated Legislature had placed on the ballot. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have successfully defeated a far-left measure in America’s bluest state!” Wenyuan Yu, executive director of Californians for Equal Rights wrote in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Michael Drake called the measure’s defeat a “setback” for the university, but added, “We will continue our unwavering efforts to expand underrepresented groups’ access to a UC education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banjo said that for students working on recruitment and retention, Proposition 16’s defeat is “disheartening” but also creates an opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully, It’s also empowering for our student organizers and communities,” he said. “Because it gives them a reason to continue to translate what could have been the benefits of Prop. 16 into an intentional plan that’s created by their campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kayleen Carter is a fellow with the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/college-journalism-network/\">CalMatters College Journalism Network\u003c/a>, a collaboration between CalMatters and student journalists from across California.

A member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, Claypool grew up in Wyoming near the Wind River Reservation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I was 9 years old, I knew that I had to get out of Wyoming,” she said. “I knew that I lacked opportunity there to grow. So I knew I had to be, like, in the city. I knew I had to get a university education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Claypool moved to California and enrolled at Laney Community College in Oakland, when she first encountered the Indigenous Native Coalition. Students from the program helped her apply to Berkeley and introduced her to the Native community there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inspired by her experience, Claypool is currently surveying Native American students about the challenges they face in getting to college — asking them about things like housing and financial aid. Communicating directly with students, she believes, is the best way to identify and address those hurdles. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Native Americans represent about the smallest population in higher education,” Claypool said. “But we would benefit greatly from education. We need more tribal leaders who can speak up for tribes and assert, you know, on policy and legislation and things that affect our communities directly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the summer, the Pan African Student Association sat down with representatives of the University of California’s Office of the President to discuss ways the UC could support its Black students. They proposed a Black research grant that would fund Black student leaders to study how the university could improve recruitment and retention in their community. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the topics Banjo said students hope to tackle: how to improve Black graduation rates, and why Black alumni from some campuses earn significantly less than white alumni after graduation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to help shape the UC as a model for successful Black students in higher education,” he said, “while Black students are compensated for that labor as organizers and scholars.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But, she added, “We cannot take any action until we have a clearer idea of our budget and whether we have the funding necessary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 16 would have given the UC more legal flexibility to support projects like Claypool’s and Banjo’s. But perhaps a bigger challenge is finding the money to boost recruitment and retention of underrepresented students systemwide. The university lost $300 million in funding this year after the coronavirus pandemic put the squeeze on state budgets. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our capacity does not in any way meet the demand, and as California’s population has continued to grow and diversify and as students (from underrepresented backgrounds) have moved out of urban centers into more suburban areas, our ability to reach those students has been impacted,” Yvette Gullatt, UC’s chief diversity officer, told the university’s regents at a recent meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, as the vote totals for Proposition 16 rolled in, the No on 16 campaign jubilantly declared victory over a measure that California’s Democratic-dominated Legislature had placed on the ballot. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have successfully defeated a far-left measure in America’s bluest state!” Wenyuan Yu, executive director of Californians for Equal Rights wrote in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC President Michael Drake called the measure’s defeat a “setback” for the university, but added, “We will continue our unwavering efforts to expand underrepresented groups’ access to a UC education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Banjo said that for students working on recruitment and retention, Proposition 16’s defeat is “disheartening” but also creates an opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Hopefully, It’s also empowering for our student organizers and communities,” he said. “Because it gives them a reason to continue to translate what could have been the benefits of Prop. 16 into an intentional plan that’s created by their campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Kayleen Carter is a fellow with the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/projects/college-journalism-network/\">CalMatters College Journalism Network\u003c/a>, a collaboration between CalMatters and student journalists from across California.

The model minority myth, they say, obscures different Asian American ethnic communities’ varied access to resources and education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asian Americans have been at the center of affirmative action debates in California and nationwide. In Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard, the federal court case that \u003ca href=\"https://admissionscase.harvard.edu/files/adm-case/files/2019-10-30_dkt_672_findings_of_fact_and_conclusions_of_law.pdf\">upheld the university’s affirmative action policies\u003c/a> in 2019 and is now under appeal, the plaintiffs are Asian American students who said they were discriminated against in the admission process. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in 2014, when California legislators last tried reviving affirmative action, three Chinese-American state senators who initially backed its reinstatement received thousands of messages from constituents urging them to withdraw their support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As lifelong advocates for the Asian American and other communities, we would never support a policy that we believed would negatively impact our children,” the Democratic senators — Ted Lieu, Carol Liu and Leland Yee — wrote in a letter to then-Assembly Speaker John Pérez. The lobbying campaign worked, and the bill died.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Prop. 16 made it on this year’s ballot, it still faces opposition from some Asian American groups. Assemblymember Evan Low, a Cupertino Democrat, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dP4LieEaoJ4\">said on the Assembly floor\u003c/a> that he supported the ballot measure because it’s difficult to tackle race-specific problems with race-neutral policies — but he’d received over 3,000 messages from his constituents opposing the measure, compared to 99 messages in support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Low, who is Chinese American, said elected officials in his district told him: “Aren’t you yellow? Why are you voting against your own people? Why are you betraying us?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reality is more complicated. AAPIs for Civic Empowerment, the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund and Asian Americans Advancing Justice are just a few organizations \u003ca href=\"https://voteyesonprop16.org/endorsements/\">backing\u003c/a> Prop. 16.

While 54% of Asians in California have a bachelor’s degree or higher, the number \u003ca href=\"https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?t=Educational%20Attainment&g=0400000US06,06.050000&tid=ACSST1Y2019.S1501&hidePreview=true\">is lower in every Central Valley county\u003c/a>.

Here’s how many got in, how many are on campus and what the retention challenges are that might need addressing,’” Poon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asians and Asian Americans were 39% of UC’s student body in 2019, far more than their 15.5% share of California’s population.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the data that emerged as a result of the Count Me In campaign complicates that narrative of Asian American overrepresentation. In 2019, there were only 534 Hmong students out of the 120,000 Asian American students at UCs — even though California’s Hmong population, at more than 100,000, is the highest nationwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chinese students on California campuses are represented at two times the rate of their California population, while Filipino students make up roughly the same percentage of the UC student body as Filipinos in California, who are the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/filipino-immigrants-united-states\">largest Asian group\u003c/a>. Hmong students, by contrast, are represented at less than half a percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11840892 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/10/GettyImages-138891408-1020x681.jpg']Seng Alexander Vang, a lecturer at Cal State Stanislaus and UC Merced, said his parents were among the first wave of Hmong refugees entering America after the Secret War in the ‘80s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In Laos and Thailand, when we were in the refugee camps, [my parents] never got the opportunity for education,” he said. “They were placed in job training and English classes, but it was very difficult for them to read and write a new language because they never had schools.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vang’s parents provided emotional support and wanted him to go to school, but didn’t know how to help him with homework and extracurricular activities. So he only applied to one university — Cal State Stanislaus — and said he wasn’t prepared to go to a four-year school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a struggle to the point where I didn’t feel like I was good enough,” Vang said. “Today, students, to just get into a UC, they need half a dozen AP classes, a 4.0+ (GPA) — and I barely passed my high school by one class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vang, who teaches Hmong studies classes at Stanislaus, said he wanted to become a professor because he saw himself in students of color who had potential but didn’t feel understood or heard by their teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the things he’s talked about with his students is affirmative action. Many of them, Vang said, come into his class believing affirmative action is bad and colorblindness is good.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you talk about race and ethnicity, they’ve become uncomfortable, because they’ve been taught not to talk about race,” he said. “But then they learn about (affirmative action) and realize that no, actually, colorblindness is harmful — it’s like you’re erasing people by saying you don’t see color.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vang, who voted yes on Prop. 16, said it’s important for students to be aware about racism today, because education can make it seem like racism no longer exists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They think we had the civil rights movement and it was all peaceful protest — but it wasn’t just that, it was violent,” Vang said. “There are conflicts between communities of color — there’s so much anti-Blackness in the Hmong community, because it’s something people learn as they assimilate and become Americanized.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure

admires Prop. 16’s proponents for diagnosing systemic racism and misogyny as problems, Muralitharan said the policy wouldn’t solve those underlying issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should focus on giving

The President claimed Biden had little to show for his decades in public office, while Biden castigated the president for his response to the pandemic amid a surge in cases nationwide. Also on Thursday, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance the nomination of Supreme Court Justice nominee Amy Coney Barrett without a single Democratic lawmaker on the committee in attendance in a symbolic show of opposition to her nomination. Meanwhile, in California, a poll released this week from the Public Policy Institute of California surveyed likely voters about the Barrett nomination and their views on Proposition 15, which would raise taxes on commercial properties, and Proposition 16 which would reverse a ban on the use of affirmative action in the public sector, allowing state-funded universities, for example, to consider race, gender and ethnicity in admission decisions. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED politics and government correspondent \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>College Students and Mental Health\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Surveys of thousands of college students in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic reveal high rates of stress, anxiety, feelings of loneliness and other mental health struggles. A survey of graduate and undergraduate students conducted between May and July across nine public universities, for example, found the prevalence of depression to be twice as high this year compared to last year. But for a generation immersed in apps, social media and smartphones, technology may provide digital signposts to guide young people out of isolation and loneliness. Hopelab, a nonprofit based in San Francisco, has developed Nod, an app featuring prompts, exercises and testimonials that has helped first-year students at risk for depression and loneliness, according to a 2019 study conducted at the University of Oregon. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Danielle Ramo, senior director of research, Hopelab\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Will Coleman, intern, Hopelab and senior, Columbia College\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Something Beautiful: SkyStar in the Park\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We end our show this week by taking an elevated look at a 150-foot-tall ferris wheel that finally started spinning in Golden Gate Park this week, seven months after its arrival to commemorate the 150-year anniversary of the park.

The President claimed Biden had little to show for his decades in public office, while Biden castigated the president for his response to the pandemic amid a surge in cases nationwide. Also on Thursday, Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance the nomination of Supreme Court Justice nominee Amy Coney Barrett without a single Democratic lawmaker on the committee in attendance in a symbolic show of opposition to her nomination. Meanwhile, in California, a poll released this week from the Public Policy Institute of California surveyed likely voters about the Barrett nomination and their views on Proposition 15, which would raise taxes on commercial properties, and Proposition 16 which would reverse a ban on the use of affirmative action in the public sector, allowing state-funded universities, for example, to consider race, gender and ethnicity in admission decisions. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED politics and government correspondent \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Guy Marzorati, KQED politics and government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>College Students and Mental Health\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Surveys of thousands of college students in the U.S. since the start of the pandemic reveal high rates of stress, anxiety, feelings of loneliness and other mental health struggles. A survey of graduate and undergraduate students conducted between May and July across nine public universities, for example, found the prevalence of depression to be twice as high this year compared to last year. But for a generation immersed in apps, social media and smartphones, technology may provide digital signposts to guide young people out of isolation and loneliness. Hopelab, a nonprofit based in San Francisco, has developed Nod, an app featuring prompts, exercises and testimonials that has helped first-year students at risk for depression and loneliness, according to a 2019 study conducted at the University of Oregon. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Danielle Ramo, senior director of research, Hopelab\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Will Coleman, intern, Hopelab and senior, Columbia College\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Something Beautiful: SkyStar in the Park\u003c/b>\u003cbr>\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">We end our show this week by taking an elevated look at a 150-foot-tall ferris wheel that finally started spinning in Golden Gate Park this week, seven months after its arrival to commemorate the 150-year anniversary of the park. The pandemic forced the months-long delay of its maiden spin until Wednesday, when paying customers boarded the SkyStar Observation Wheel for 12-minute rides affording panoramic views that stretch from downtown San Francisco to the Pacific Ocean.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
