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.",

Coupled with the complex process of obtaining a slew of permits from the California Coastal Commission, the San Mateo County Harbor District, NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries, a business license from San Mateo County, a lease from the State Lands Commission and coordinating road closures with the San Mateo County Sheriff’s Office, the Mavericks contest has never been an easy competition to host.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Hawk, former editor of Surfer Magazine, says he wasn’t surprised the contest was canceled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Fast forward and she was promoted and they wound up moving to Nashville, where Patterson was able to work remotely for the software company he had joined. Last summer, his family visited and they went to a Nashville Sounds Triple-A game, with the ballpark close to where Patterson lived. That's when he initially tried out one of those pitch-speed booths, hit 96 mph on his final throw and realized he had quite an arm — even with his background being as an infielder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Blew my own mind, honestly,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/npatterson_12/status/1157070415874818048\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A coach saw him and immediately encouraged Patterson to play baseball, if not collegiately then in the pros.

He broke the wrist on his left, non-throwing hand and needed surgery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It was a very, very sad day, like all this work over the last two months was for nothing,\" he recalled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patterson returned to Kansas City for two weeks at Christmas last year and his family urged him to push on. By January he was throwing off a mound again in Nashville with a cast on the other hand, and that's when about 20 colleges came calling along with a handful of major league organizations. Patterson hired an agent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He also began working closely with Jarrod Parker, who played for the A's before a pair of Tommy John surgeries forced him out of the game. Parker opened Parker Sports Performance last September in Nashville, and Patterson was one of the first athletes to participate in a regular training program at the center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Lucky enough to have him walk through the door first of all,\" said Parker. \"Rarely do people get that kind of chance.

His second outing wasn't as smooth with Patterson giving up three runs on two hits in two innings.

Known as “admissions by exception,” it gives campuses flexibility to admit up to 6% of each entering class from applicants who don’t meet UC’s minimum standards, but have a special talent or come from a disadvantaged background.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s unclear if admissions by exception played a direct role in the college cheating scandal, it has surfaced as a potential weak spot as policymakers seek ways to bulletproof the university’s admission system from scammers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents and interviews with admissions officers show UC’s nine undergraduate campuses are using the policy in very different ways — ways that some campuses prefer to keep secret, even after \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july19/c1attach1.pdf\">an internal UC audit\u003c/a> urged more transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a public records request from CalMatters, for instance, most campuses said they had no documentation of how many students are admitted by exception each year. At least one campus exceeded the 6% cap in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just one campus—UCLA—provided records outlining the total numbers and demographics of students admitted under the policy, while two others—UC Santa Cruz and UC Riverside—verbally detailed how they select the exceptional admits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together, the three campuses offer a glimpse of how admissions by exception works and how campuses use it to their advantage. Perhaps best known as a tool for athletic recruitment, the policy also helps campuses open access to non-traditional students, and even shore up their bottom lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>UCLA: A Leg Up for Athletic Stars\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11767087\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/UCLA-Football-800x592.jpg\" alt=\"UCLA largely uses its admissions by exception to recruit gifted athletes.

The university is highly selective and receives more applications than any other campus at UC. \u003ccite>(Harry How/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At highly-selective UCLA, most of the 132 students admitted by exception in 2018 came from California, according to documents obtained under CalMatters’ public records request. All but about a dozen were athletes or possessed other special talents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While athletes made up the bulk of that group, UCLA spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez said it also included applicants with skills in music and art. More than a third had grade point averages below 3.5, well under the 4.25 median GPA for all admitted freshmen that year. The GPAs of another quarter of admits are listed as “missing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Extraordinary talent of any sort, athletic or otherwise, can limit a student’s ability to meet eligibility requirements because of the time commitments some of those activities may involve,” Vazquez wrote in a statement to CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA has long used admission by exception for athletic recruitment. Its officials told the NCAA in a 2011 report that about half of all student-athletes were admitted via the policy—including 85 percent of football players on scholarship—compared with fewer than two percent of incoming freshmen overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c4f696f0-2859-4cc9-b238-021e13c0acf3?src=embed\" title=\"UCLA Admissions by Exception\" width=\"800\" height=\"1674\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice is not without risks.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/10/29/80-percent-of-cal-recruits-must-have-3-0-gpa-by-2017-18/\">overhauled\u003c/a> its admissions process for athletes five years ago after revelations that graduation rates on its men’s football and basketball teams ranked last in the country.

UC Santa Cruz, for example, admitted about 8% of its entering class by exception in 2018, exceeding the 6% allowed under UC rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michelle Wittingham, associate vice chancellor of enrollment management, said the way the university handled those applications — which were flagged by a reviewer, given a score between 1 and 5, and then lumped in with the regular pool — made it harder to track compliance with the cap. But she added that the university is “going to really be looking closely into that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Santa Cruz has used the program to recruit students from outside California who have strong academic records but didn’t take a required class, Wittingham said: “You might be missing a year of English, but we see that you had senior English and got great grades and had strong test scores.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university is working to increase its population of non-resident students, Whittingham said, both to expose California students to other cultural influences and bring in the extra tuition dollars those students pay. About 86% of the 282 students the campus admitted by exception in 2018 came from outside the state, she said, and “not shockingly, curriculum in other countries is not aligned to UC requirements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whittingham took care to emphasize that non-resident students who come in by exception aren’t displacing California residents — the number of in-state students, she said, is determined by state funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>UC-wide: Promoting Diversity?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>UC President Janet Napolitano has said the university will follow the audit’s recommendations, which include requiring campuses to track why they admit each student by exception and ensure that multiple people evaluate each file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While UC says only about 2% of newly enrolled students systemwide enter via the policy, that still amounts to hundreds of students. The university sent acceptance letters to a record 108,178 freshmen for fall 2019, including 71,655 Californians. About 62% of California applicants got in, though not necessarily to their first-choice campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/222825bd-eddf-4320-963c-47622ef30954?src=embed\" title=\"UC Admissions Requirements\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, admissions by exception may be contributing to campus diversity. California students admitted via the policy in 2018 were more likely to be black than those in the entering class overall — though less likely to be Latino or first-generation. Black students, who are underrepresented at UC compared to their share of California’s population, made up about 10% of in-state students admitted by exception, double their share of total admitted students from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent meeting of UC’s governing board, some university regents worried that tightening oversight of admissions by exception too much — for example, by requiring more students to submit documents verifying claims they make in their applications — could adversely affect disadvantaged students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks that are being admitted by exception…might be in the least favorable position to provide a lot of verification,” said regents vice-chair Cecilia Estolano. “Those are super-important categories for us to ensure that we’re opening access to really amazing, talented people that just don’t have opportunities to show that in their high school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Wei-Li Sun, an admissions consultant who specializes in helping students apply to UC, says the practice seems less to benefit disadvantaged students overall than to target specific groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"The College Admissions Scandal\" tag=\"college-admissions-scandal\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve got your out of state students who bring in money, you’ve got your athletes who are going to win, and you’ve got your homeschool students who tend to outperform the regular students, so it makes sense for the UCs to want them,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area-based admissions counselor Felicia Fahey said she’s helped two clients gain admission by exception — one a homeschooled student who attended UC Berkeley, and another a skilled writer who was admitted to UC Davis after a heart surgery that affected her grades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[The second student] had clearly overcome this problem and was performing at a really high level,” Fahey said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>On Basic Data, ‘Surprising’ Secrecy\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Whatever their reasons, some UC campuses are clearly reluctant to share data on admissions by exception. Four months after CalMatters sent public records requests to each of the nine undergraduate campuses seeking information about the number and demographics of students admitted under the policy, only UCLA has provided any documents. UC Riverside and UC Santa Cruz made admissions staff available for interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other six campuses either failed to respond or said they did not have records that answered any of our questions — even the most basic one about how many students were admitted by exception last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When CalMatters followed up, pointing out that UC’s own internal audit was examining that question, some campuses agreed to look into our request — but had yet to provide any documents by deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More details could emerge when the university conducts a second internal audit of its admissions over the next six months, followed by an independent state study requested by the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Tasha Boerner-Horvath, the San Diego Democrat who asked for the state audit, said she found campuses’ lack of documentation “very surprising.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a more subjective admissions process than the rest of admissions,” she said. “Is that something that can be theoretically abused?

The GPAs of another quarter of admits are listed as “missing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Extraordinary talent of any sort, athletic or otherwise, can limit a student’s ability to meet eligibility requirements because of the time commitments some of those activities may involve,” Vazquez wrote in a statement to CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA has long used admission by exception for athletic recruitment.

In some cases, a single individual makes the selection, according to the June audit, the first of three to examine ways to improve UC’s admissions procedures in the wake of Varsity Blues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1383\">A bill\u003c/a> pending in the state Legislature aims to address that: Authored by Sacramento Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, it would require that at least three senior administrators sign off on every student admitted by exception to UC and CSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>UC Santa Cruz: Out-of-Staters — and Tuition\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>UC’s internal audit also found that campuses are not consistently measuring how many students they admit by exception, and sometimes fail to document the reason for the decision. UC Santa Cruz, for example, admitted about 8% of its entering class by exception in 2018, exceeding the 6% allowed under UC rules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michelle Wittingham, associate vice chancellor of enrollment management, said the way the university handled those applications — which were flagged by a reviewer, given a score between 1 and 5, and then lumped in with the regular pool — made it harder to track compliance with the cap. But she added that the university is “going to really be looking closely into that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Santa Cruz has used the program to recruit students from outside California who have strong academic records but didn’t take a required class, Wittingham said: “You might be missing a year of English, but we see that you had senior English and got great grades and had strong test scores.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university is working to increase its population of non-resident students, Whittingham said, both to expose California students to other cultural influences and bring in the extra tuition dollars those students pay. About 86% of the 282 students the campus admitted by exception in 2018 came from outside the state, she said, and “not shockingly, curriculum in other countries is not aligned to UC requirements.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whittingham took care to emphasize that non-resident students who come in by exception aren’t displacing California residents — the number of in-state students, she said, is determined by state funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>UC-wide: Promoting Diversity?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>UC President Janet Napolitano has said the university will follow the audit’s recommendations, which include requiring campuses to track why they admit each student by exception and ensure that multiple people evaluate each file.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While UC says only about 2% of newly enrolled students systemwide enter via the policy, that still amounts to hundreds of students. The university sent acceptance letters to a record 108,178 freshmen for fall 2019, including 71,655 Californians. About 62% of California applicants got in, though not necessarily to their first-choice campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/222825bd-eddf-4320-963c-47622ef30954?src=embed\" title=\"UC Admissions Requirements\" width=\"800\" height=\"535\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, admissions by exception may be contributing to campus diversity. California students admitted via the policy in 2018 were more likely to be black than those in the entering class overall — though less likely to be Latino or first-generation. Black students, who are underrepresented at UC compared to their share of California’s population, made up about 10% of in-state students admitted by exception, double their share of total admitted students from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent meeting of UC’s governing board, some university regents worried that tightening oversight of admissions by exception too much — for example, by requiring more students to submit documents verifying claims they make in their applications — could adversely affect disadvantaged students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Folks that are being admitted by exception…might be in the least favorable position to provide a lot of verification,” said regents vice-chair Cecilia Estolano. “Those are super-important categories for us to ensure that we’re opening access to really amazing, talented people that just don’t have opportunities to show that in their high school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Wei-Li Sun, an admissions consultant who specializes in helping students apply to UC, says the practice seems less to benefit disadvantaged students overall than to target specific groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Four months after CalMatters sent public records requests to each of the nine undergraduate campuses seeking information about the number and demographics of students admitted under the policy, only UCLA has provided any documents. UC Riverside and UC Santa Cruz made admissions staff available for interviews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other six campuses either failed to respond or said they did not have records that answered any of our questions — even the most basic one about how many students were admitted by exception last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When CalMatters followed up, pointing out that UC’s own internal audit was examining that question, some campuses agreed to look into our request — but had yet to provide any documents by deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More details could emerge when the university conducts a second internal audit of its admissions over the next six months, followed by an independent state study requested by the Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Tasha Boerner-Horvath, the San Diego Democrat who asked for the state audit, said she found campuses’ lack of documentation “very surprising.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a more subjective admissions process than the rest of admissions,” she said. “Is that something that can be theoretically abused?

And I think it was because the Good Lord was smacking them along the way for what they allowed to happen to Pumpsie Green.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After retiring from baseball, Green came back to the East Bay and coached at Berkeley High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He often called on Oliver to join him in sharing their experiences of the early days of integrated baseball with students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be able to convey all of these things that have happened to us to these young people … Then I’d just watch him do what he does with his baseball program,” Oliver said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But the thing that impressed me more than anything else about Pumpsie is he was just low-key. Even keel, you know, no ups and downs. And I’m sure that had a tremendous effect on young people. You don’t always have to yell and rant and rave. You can still get the same results by just putting in the time, and putting in the work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It has been a devastating and difficult, not to mention expensive, journey.’[/pullquote]As she traveled the world winning medals, the Newport Beach student took care not to run afoul of NCAA eligibility rules barring prospective college athletes from accepting financial compensation, her sights still set on playing for a top school. She turned down an endorsement deal with a sunglasses brand and the stipend offered to her teammates, she says, telling herself there would be time later to play professionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But later never came for Hodson, who suffered a career-ending head injury on the court during her freshman year at Stanford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My dreams of playing in the Olympics are over,” Hodson, 22, said in an email. “It has been a devastating and difficult, not to mention expensive, journey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s how Hodson found herself testifying this spring in the California Senate in support of the “Fair Pay to Play Act,” which would allow student athletes to profit from the use of their name, image or likeness. Authored by Sen. Nancy Skinner, the bill would directly contradict NCAA policies enforcing amateurism in college sports, and is the latest front in an ongoing battle over student athlete compensation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Past controversies have focused on whether men’s football and basketball stars should share in the revenue they generate for what has become a multi-billion-dollar college sports industry.
