She wanted a medication abortion, where she would take one pill at the clinic and a second one at home a day or two later to induce a miscarriage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just wanted the intimacy of dealing with it on my own, in the privacy of my own home,” she says. “And being able to cry if I wanted to cry or just being able to curl up in my bed right away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public university health centers in California do not perform abortions.

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.

"content": "\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.auditor.ca.gov/reports/2018-127/sections.html#section1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> released by California’s state auditor Thursday looked like a bombshell: the California State University system has been sitting on a $1.5 billion budget surplus, it found, failing to fully disclose the existence of the money to legislators and students, even as it raised tuition and lobbied for more state funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSU, however, quickly disputed the audit’s conclusions, saying it has been transparent about the reserves and that it needs them to cover short-term debts, pay for one-time expenses such as new buildings and hedge against a possible recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Readers who care about higher education might have questions. We thought we’d answer a few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What exactly were the auditor’s concerns?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuition at the 23-campus CSU system has almost doubled over the last decade, funding a sizable increase in the university’s reserves, state Auditor Elaine Howle found. But CSU, she wrote, continues to argue that it has only two options to avoid cutting programs: getting more state dollars or raising tuition even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“By failing to disclose this surplus when consulting with students about tuition increases or when projecting CSU’s resources and needs to the Legislature, the Chancellor’s Office has prevented legislators and students from evaluating CSU’s financial needs in light of its unspent financial resources,” Howle wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>$1.5 billion—that’s a lot, right?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The surplus could cover about two-and-a-half-months of expenses for CSU, says the university system, which serves nearly 500,000 students.

Seventy-one students and 127 staff members are quarantined at California State University, Los Angeles after a possible measles exposure at a campus library, school officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Department of Public Health has determined that there is no known current risk related to measles at the library at this time,” Cal State said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA said some people could remain in quarantines for up to 48 hours before they prove immunity. A few may need to remain in quarantine for up to seven days, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such an order mandates that the exposed people stay home and notify authorities “if they develop symptoms of measles, and to avoid contact with others until the end of their quarantine period or until they provide evidence of immunity,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The orders come as a small outbreak of measles is occurring in Los Angeles County involving five confirmed cases linked to overseas travel. The state recorded 38 measles cases as of Thursday, versus 11 around the same time last year, said Dr. Karen Smith, director of the California Department of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state typically sees fewer than two dozen cases a year, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, California’s cases stretch across 11 counties and affect patients from 5 months to 55 years of age.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 76% of patients were not vaccinated or didn’t receive the recommended two doses of vaccine, Smith said. Fourteen of those infected had traveled overseas to countries including Philippines, Thailand, India and Ukraine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measles in most people causes fever, runny nose, cough and a rash all over the body. However, a very small fraction of those infected can suffer complications such as pneumonia and a dangerous swelling of the brain.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the vaccine for everyone over a year old, except for people who had the disease as children. Those who have had measles are immune.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine, which became available in the 1960s, is considered safe and highly effective, and because of it, measles was declared all but eliminated in the U.S. in 2000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>When student leaders from all 23 California State University campuses came together last fall to set priorities for the academic year, improving campus mental health services received more nominations than any other issue. It beat out even that perennial concern, tuition costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal State Student Association President Maggie White said she’s not surprised.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re seeing wait times at counseling centers that are exceeding two or three weeks, people turned away after a few appointments because they’ve exceeded the maximum allotment, and students not feeling comfortable going to counselors because no one looks like them or reflects their experience,” White said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the stigma attached to mental health care fades, California students are increasingly clamoring for more on-campus services that can help them cope with anxiety, depression and the stresses of a contentious political climate and rising living expenses. Several bills pending in the California Legislature would set aside resources for mental health care at the state’s public colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mental health advocates say on-campus care is especially important because people often first experience psychological problems during their young adult years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so much the age when serious mental illness manifests itself, and here we have these institutions that could absolutely be identifying this early on,” said Deborah Anderluh, a spokesperson for the Steinberg Institute, which lobbies for more funding for mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only eight of the Cal State system’s 23 campuses meet the standard of one counselor per 1,000 to 1,500 students set by the International Association of Counseling Services — the national accreditor for campus counseling centers — according to a survey by the student association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many community colleges don’t have a counseling center at all, or rely on graduate student interns to provide care. The University of California system is in the midst of a five-year hiring push to add counselors on its campuses, funded by student fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of college students seeking counseling on campuses nationwide grew five times faster than enrollment between 2009 and 2015, according to the Center for Collegiate Mental Health, a national consortium.

But she wanted to go into politics. And the polarized atmosphere that accompanied President Trump’s election exacerbated the social pressures she was already experiencing as a Muslim woman, Ansari said. \"I was having this identity crisis and feeling really threatened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until starting on-campus therapy, Ansari said, that she realized she wasn’t the only one dealing with those challenges. Her grades improved, and she took on more responsibility in student government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she recommended the campus counseling center to a friend who was grieving after a death in the family, said Ansari, the friend couldn’t get an appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center staff said, “‘We’re all filled up; can you call back in two weeks?’” Ansari said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are considering a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB968\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> to ease that backlog by requiring public campuses to have one full-time counselor for every 1,500 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve put a lot of emphasis on how to get students to graduate on time,” state Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat and the bill’s author, told CALmatters. “One of the barriers is mental health issues, and we should be helping [students] overcome them. Otherwise, we’re not maximizing our investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids.'\u003ccite>Peg Scott, American River College psychology professor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>CSU and the community colleges would have to hire hundreds of new counselors to meet the ratio Pan is proposing, according to a legislative analysis. The community college system has more than 7,000 students for every counselor systemwide, according to the analysis, while CSU has more than 2,000. Staffing at the University of California is more robust, with about 1,100 students per counselor overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the university systems has taken a position on the bill. But Denise Bevly, CSU’s director of wellness, questioned whether mandating staff levels for counselors was the best way to improve care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One-on-one counseling may not be it for all students,” she said. Some issues might be better addressed through prevention and early intervention such as “a stress-management workshop, or a peer counseling group, or a yoga class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a gap, if we’re honest,” between the increasing demand for counseling services and the supply, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The schools are doing what they can with the resources they have, she added. In June, the university will start training a few faculty and staff from each campus to be “wellness ambassadors.” They’ll be able to direct students who are struggling with mental health or financial pressures to the right campus programs, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan’s legislation may mean the most change for community colleges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665552\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg\" alt=\"American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health.\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11665552\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-160x118.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1020x750.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1200x882.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1180x867.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-960x706.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-240x176.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-375x276.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-520x382.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/NCHA-II-SPRING-2016-HSACCC-REFERENCE-GROUP-DATA-REPORT-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">survey\u003c/a> of 10 California community colleges, more than half of students said they had felt overwhelming anxiety at some time in the past year, with 39 percent saying they had been so depressed it was hard to function.

Under a bipartisan \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1004\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> also pending in the Legislature, counties would have to use some of the money for one of three types of mental health programs, including college counseling, or justify to the state why they did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2933\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> would require that every county social-services agency have a liaison to help professors like Scott send students for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s last major effort to upgrade college counseling failed in 2016, when Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have set up a campus mental health trust fund, citing its lack of a specific price tag or funding source. But Proposition 63 has had some effect. UC, CSU and community colleges were all able to use some of its proceeds to launch campaigns to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And students say it’s become easier to talk about mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like there’s more of an open discussion of it,” said Courtney Cooper, president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. “I had a panic attack before class the other day ... and this other girl was like, ‘Oh, I deal with anxiety, too.’ I didn’t feel like I was the only one or that anyone in class was going to judge me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students on a number of campuses have started mental health conferences and formed chapters of \u003ca href=\"http://www.activeminds.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Active Minds\u003c/a>, a student-run advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott’s students decided not to wait for their college to provide counseling. They’re partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to create peer support groups for struggling students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need is there, and our students are so forward-looking that they recognize it,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em> \u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But she wanted to go into politics. And the polarized atmosphere that accompanied President Trump’s election exacerbated the social pressures she was already experiencing as a Muslim woman, Ansari said. \"I was having this identity crisis and feeling really threatened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until starting on-campus therapy, Ansari said, that she realized she wasn’t the only one dealing with those challenges. Her grades improved, and she took on more responsibility in student government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she recommended the campus counseling center to a friend who was grieving after a death in the family, said Ansari, the friend couldn’t get an appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center staff said, “‘We’re all filled up; can you call back in two weeks?’” Ansari said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are considering a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB968\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> to ease that backlog by requiring public campuses to have one full-time counselor for every 1,500 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve put a lot of emphasis on how to get students to graduate on time,” state Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat and the bill’s author, told CALmatters. “One of the barriers is mental health issues, and we should be helping [students] overcome them. Otherwise, we’re not maximizing our investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids.'\u003ccite>Peg Scott, American River College psychology professor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>CSU and the community colleges would have to hire hundreds of new counselors to meet the ratio Pan is proposing, according to a legislative analysis. The community college system has more than 7,000 students for every counselor systemwide, according to the analysis, while CSU has more than 2,000. Staffing at the University of California is more robust, with about 1,100 students per counselor overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the university systems has taken a position on the bill. But Denise Bevly, CSU’s director of wellness, questioned whether mandating staff levels for counselors was the best way to improve care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One-on-one counseling may not be it for all students,” she said. Some issues might be better addressed through prevention and early intervention such as “a stress-management workshop, or a peer counseling group, or a yoga class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a gap, if we’re honest,” between the increasing demand for counseling services and the supply, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The schools are doing what they can with the resources they have, she added. In June, the university will start training a few faculty and staff from each campus to be “wellness ambassadors.” They’ll be able to direct students who are struggling with mental health or financial pressures to the right campus programs, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan’s legislation may mean the most change for community colleges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665552\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg\" alt=\"American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health.\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11665552\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-160x118.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1020x750.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1200x882.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1180x867.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-960x706.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-240x176.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-375x276.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-520x382.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/NCHA-II-SPRING-2016-HSACCC-REFERENCE-GROUP-DATA-REPORT-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">survey\u003c/a> of 10 California community colleges, more than half of students said they had felt overwhelming anxiety at some time in the past year, with 39 percent saying they had been so depressed it was hard to function.

Last year, Cal Poly spent over $55,000 on security for a Yiannopoulos event. This year the university could spend more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s unknown if an outside group is going to travel here and their purpose is to disrupt,” Cal Poly’s University Police Department Chief George Hughes said at an Associated Students Inc. board meeting last week. Cal Poly student media outlet Mustang News shared audio of the meeting with KCBX News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are all these unknowns I have to be prepared for, I have to be prepared for the potential of an active shooter,” Hughes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes prepared for these types of situations last year when Yiannopoulos came to Cal Poly. Hughes said there were 100 police officers, a SWAT team and fences installed. The heavy police presence didn’t just surprise people on campus, Hughes said — it alarmed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Alarmed is a great word to use. [When] people show up, if they see several police officers standing in one area – I’m a police officer, when I see a bunch of cops standing somewhere – I get it, ‘What is going on? Is everything OK? Am I safe?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As not a lot of information was shared beforehand, all this police activity led to rumors, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663397/white-supremacist-propaganda-appears-on-cal-poly-campus-after-frat-suspensions\">White Supremacist Propaganda Appears at Cal Poly as Greek System Suspended\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663397/white-supremacist-propaganda-appears-on-cal-poly-campus-after-frat-suspensions\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/SkinToneRacistMap-800x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There was a rumor there was snipers on the roof,” Hughes said. “There were people on the roofs. They were not snipers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes added that many still don’t believe him, but the officers on the roofs were spotters who were watching the ground in case something were to happen — like if someone got punched in the face or started a mob.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish I was much more transparent before Milo showed up on campus,” Hughes said. “And I wish I had prepared this campus for what to expect when they walked on campus that day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Poly spokesman Matt Lazier said school officials won’t be talking right now about the security efforts, out of public safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in speaking to students last week, Hughes was very clear there will be a heavy police presence on campus Thursday. And likely more so than last year, which he knows might scare some people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get it,” Hughes said. “That’s why I’m trying to get as much information out as possible. If you can come up with some other way to say, ‘Chief, if you want to reach people, do it this way,’ please send me an email. Because I want to inform people as much as possible about what to expect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes said he will be working with all 23 California State University campuses to bring in additional security. And with travel, overtime and housing for all the officers, the costs adds up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it comes to campus safety, Hughes said he is not putting a price tag on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I think it’s going to cost us $100,000 to create a safe environment, then I think [$100,000] is the right amount,” Hughes said. “I don’t think you can put a price on to trying make sure no one gets hurt”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Luis Obispo Police Department said it will supply Cal Poly with six additional police officers, as well as staffing extra patrols.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Cal Poly student media outlet Mustang News shared audio of the meeting with KCBX News.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are all these unknowns I have to be prepared for, I have to be prepared for the potential of an active shooter,” Hughes said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes prepared for these types of situations last year when Yiannopoulos came to Cal Poly. Hughes said there were 100 police officers, a SWAT team and fences installed. The heavy police presence didn’t just surprise people on campus, Hughes said — it alarmed them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Alarmed is a great word to use. [When] people show up, if they see several police officers standing in one area – I’m a police officer, when I see a bunch of cops standing somewhere – I get it, ‘What is going on? Is everything OK? Am I safe?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As not a lot of information was shared beforehand, all this police activity led to rumors, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663397/white-supremacist-propaganda-appears-on-cal-poly-campus-after-frat-suspensions\">White Supremacist Propaganda Appears at Cal Poly as Greek System Suspended\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11663397/white-supremacist-propaganda-appears-on-cal-poly-campus-after-frat-suspensions\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/SkinToneRacistMap-800x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“There was a rumor there was snipers on the roof,” Hughes said. “There were people on the roofs. They were not snipers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes added that many still don’t believe him, but the officers on the roofs were spotters who were watching the ground in case something were to happen — like if someone got punched in the face or started a mob.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I wish I was much more transparent before Milo showed up on campus,” Hughes said. “And I wish I had prepared this campus for what to expect when they walked on campus that day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal Poly spokesman Matt Lazier said school officials won’t be talking right now about the security efforts, out of public safety concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in speaking to students last week, Hughes was very clear there will be a heavy police presence on campus Thursday. And likely more so than last year, which he knows might scare some people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I get it,” Hughes said. “That’s why I’m trying to get as much information out as possible. If you can come up with some other way to say, ‘Chief, if you want to reach people, do it this way,’ please send me an email. Because I want to inform people as much as possible about what to expect.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hughes said he will be working with all 23 California State University campuses to bring in additional security. And with travel, overtime and housing for all the officers, the costs adds up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when it comes to campus safety, Hughes said he is not putting a price tag on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I think it’s going to cost us $100,000 to create a safe environment, then I think [$100,000] is the right amount,” Hughes said. “I don’t think you can put a price on to trying make sure no one gets hurt”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Luis Obispo Police Department said it will supply Cal Poly with six additional police officers, as well as staffing extra patrols.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
