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.",

The city is also providing free, temporary permits to allow businesses to use public spaces, like sidewalks and parking spaces, for outdoor dining and shopping. Meanwhile, the tech sector in the Bay Area has remained relatively strong during the pandemic, with some companies such as San Francisco-based Instacart posting record growth for its on-demand grocery shopping service.

Among the recommendations are requiring teachers to wear face coverings at all times, hand-washing stations and staggering on-site academic instruction to allow for social distancing and reduce class size. Each school district will likely develop their own set of protocols based on their needs and resources. But big challenges remain, from the difficulties of distance learning for some students to the possibility of a second wave of coronavirus outbreaks in the fall just as students are settling in to reshaped classrooms and assignments. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> \u003c/span>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Julia McEvoy, senior editor of education and equity, KQED\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Dr. Dan Cooper, professor of pediatrics, UC Irvine\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\n",

Among the recommendations are requiring teachers to wear face coverings at all times, hand-washing stations and staggering on-site academic instruction to allow for social distancing and reduce class size. Each school district will likely develop their own set of protocols based on their needs and resources. But big challenges remain, from the difficulties of distance learning for some students to the possibility of a second wave of coronavirus outbreaks in the fall just as students are settling in to reshaped classrooms and assignments. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But there's a big concern here, because along with deferring any deportation, if you're in DACA you get work authorization. Our DACA students primarily come from poor families and they need to work to be able to go to school. We're evaluating what our options are there.

One of our next steps would obviously be to continue to urge the Trump administration to leave the program in place. Just because the Supreme Court rules that the administration can rescind the program the way it did, doesn't mean it ought to rescind the program. And then Congress will need to get involved should the Supreme Court rule against us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>When the pandemic first hit California, the UC was dealing with a strike by graduate students at UC Santa Cruz, and it looked like students at some other campuses in the system were ready to join. The union has filed charges of unfair labor practices and hearings on that start this month. I wonder if you can share your position right now on that dispute. Those students say that they're not making a living wage.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The graduate students who were on strike went on an unlawful wildcat strike. We have a union. We have a collective bargaining agreement. We simply seek to enforce the agreement that students themselves voted on and approved. They have filed some complaints against us in connection with the wildcat strike. We have filed a complaint against the union for not enforcing the no-strike provisions in their collective bargaining agreement. One of the chief values we get from a collective bargaining agreement is the assurance of labor peace and that there will not be strikes while there is a contract in place. And we think PERB [California's Public Employment Relations Board], which is the body that hears these kinds of issues, ought to enforce the contract that the union and its members agree to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I've spoken to members of the union who went on strike. One of them was making something like $20,000 a year in Santa Cruz, where the cost of living is pretty expensive. It's expensive in L.A., it's expensive in Berkeley. Do you think that $21,000 or $22,000 is a living wage in a place like Santa Cruz?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I think you ought to look at the total compensation that graduate students get. They get a waiver of tuition, health insurance, a pretty hefty childcare subsidy. So the overall package is very competitive with other grad student compensation packages around the country. We thought it was a fair deal when it was struck. It will be renegotiated, obviously, when the contract is due to expire. I think it has another two years to go and that would be the appropriate time for these kinds of issues to be raised. It's not appropriate, however, for grad students to hold undergraduate grades hostage, which is what was occurring here. You know, they have a contract. Part of that agreement is that they post grades in a timely manner. They get all of the benefits that I've described, plus some. And a wildcat strike really undercuts the core of why we have collective bargaining to begin with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I also want to get your reaction to reports from Vice News that the UC Santa Cruz Police Department coordinated with the state's National Guard to do surveillance on students during those strikes. I just want to have you address concerns that the situation was approached like a military operation in the view of some.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That question is probably more appropriately addressed to the campus. They will have the real detail on that. But I will tell you that the Santa Cruz campus is very hilly. And I don't think it was so much coordination as UC Santa Cruz Police and National Guard — knowing where each other, where they were — because you couldn't see them just because of the topography of the campus. So I think some of those practicalities came into effect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So this notion that there was surveillance happening to repress protesters, what's your response to that? Because that's the charge: that it was not about logistics but about suppressing protest.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, I don't think the protests were suppressed. They happened. They were very active. Anti-protest surveillance is the perception. I think it's an inaccurate one.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Given the moment that we're in, I have to also ask you about the role of police, not just during those strikes, but in general. Is there any discussion about defunding the police departments within the UC?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not defunding, but we want to make sure that our police are well-trained and are using best practices in terms of de-escalation and that complaints — when made — are handled properly. That there's reporting and accountability, and that we have a systemwide use-of-force policy. There's a campaign — 8 Can't Wait. It's eight fundamental actions that reduce the risk of violence by police departments and we're implementing all of those. We had a very extensive policing task force a year ago that came out with a report with a number of recommendations, all of which are being implemented by the campuses as we speak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Let's talk about the SAT decision: the UC last month announced it's suspending those testing requirements through 2024. Can you take us inside how that that debate played out within the UC system?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sure. So in 2018, I asked the academic Senate to review the use of the SAT and ACT as a requirement for admission. There's been a lot of public controversy about the SAT exam: that it is unfairly biased in favor of students from wealthier families, that there was an unhealthy correlation between the SAT and your zip code, that a whole industry had developed for students to prepare for the SAT and that disadvantaged students from lower-income families just plain couldn't afford it. So the faculty did a very extensive report which came to me. I disagreed with the conclusion of the report that we ought to maintain the SAT in part because in our admissions process, we were turning all kinds of gymnastic leaps to mitigate for the biases in the test. And so it seemed to me it was time for the UC to wean its way from the SAT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So for the next two years, we'll be test-optional, meaning students can elect to submit a test or not. And then, for the following two years, we'll be what's called \"test blind\" — meaning if a student submits a test score, it won't be used in the admissions decision but it can be used for other purposes: some scholarships, for example, or course placement. And then, by 2025, we either will have developed an alternative test or we'll simply have no standardized test requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why does UC plan to make yet another admissions test amid criticism that tests are classist, racist and exclusive? What do you think that test will emphasize?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first of all, we haven't made a decision whether to have an alternative test. We are looking at the feasibility of that right now. We require, as does CSU, that high school students take what's called A-G courses. These are the sequence of courses to prepare you to enter university. An alternative test could be more closely aligned with what we want students to have learned in the A-G classes so that admissions officers can evaluate whether students are prepared to enter the university. So that may be one aspect of a new test should a new test actually be developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"education\" label=\"More Related Stories\"]\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>You have been the president of the UC since 2013. How do you want your tenure to be remembered?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I want to be remembered as being lively. We just did so many things. We had the goal of being carbon-neutral by 2025. In pursuit of that goal, we became fossil-free, and also invested some of our own funds into new, sustainable energy practices. We took on the issue of sexual violence and sexual harassment on college campuses, and totally re-did the framework for how we handle those matters. We grew substantially in enrollment. We added some 46,000 students during my tenure. But not only did we add students, we improved things like graduation rates — so our 4-year graduation rate went from 63% to 70%, and our 6-year graduation rate went to 85%. And for transfer students, the graduation rate is 90%. We added transfer students and formed a transfer guarantee with the community college system so that now, for every two freshmen, we have a transfer student from the community colleges. We worked on issues like free speech on college campuses and started a new National Center on Free Speech and Civic Engagement in our Washington, D.C. facility. We've taken on a lot of big issues, as well as improving the standard metrics like graduation rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think you'll stay in public service after this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Well, my plan is to have a sabbatical year. I'll have been president seven years, so I'll have a sabbatical. And then I'll join the faculty at the Goldman School of Public Policy at UC Berkeley, where I'm actually a tenured professor.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And then, for the following two years, we'll be what's called \"test blind\" — meaning if a student submits a test score, it won't be used in the admissions decision but it can be used for other purposes: some scholarships, for example, or course placement. And then, by 2025, we either will have developed an alternative test or we'll simply have no standardized test requirement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why does UC plan to make yet another admissions test amid criticism that tests are classist, racist and exclusive? What do you think that test will emphasize?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So first of all, we haven't made a decision whether to have an alternative test. We are looking at the feasibility of that right now. We require, as does CSU, that high school students take what's called A-G courses. These are the sequence of courses to prepare you to enter university. An alternative test could be more closely aligned with what we want students to have learned in the A-G classes so that admissions officers can evaluate whether students are prepared to enter the university. So that may be one aspect of a new test should a new test actually be developed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In pursuit of that goal, we became fossil-free, and also invested some of our own funds into new, sustainable energy practices. We took on the issue of sexual violence and sexual harassment on college campuses, and totally re-did the framework for how we handle those matters. We grew substantially in enrollment. We added some 46,000 students during my tenure. But not only did we add students, we improved things like graduation rates — so our 4-year graduation rate went from 63% to 70%, and our 6-year graduation rate went to 85%. And for transfer students, the graduation rate is 90%. We added transfer students and formed a transfer guarantee with the community college system so that now, for every two freshmen, we have a transfer student from the community colleges. We worked on issues like free speech on college campuses and started a new National Center on Free Speech and Civic Engagement in our Washington, D.C. facility. We've taken on a lot of big issues, as well as improving the standard metrics like graduation rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you think you'll stay in public service after this?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
