It’s not good for the students.

AnMarie \u003c!--correct spelling--> Rodgers, a senior policy adviser with the department, said at the hearing that even though colleges have built more housing and have plans to build more, the city would need 28,000 more beds to house just half of those attending school here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those beds won't appear any time soon. The process of building in the city is expensive and slow. David Seward, chief financial officer for UC Hastings College of the Law, told the hearing about another obstacle public colleges face in developing housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no state funding provided to support student housing,\" Seward told supervisors. \"Under the Master Plan for Higher Education, all of these projects must be self-supporting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Squeeze at S.F. State\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One place the shortage of student housing is particularly acute is San Francisco State University, which provides housing for about 4,000 of its nearly 30,000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changing enrollment patterns at S.F. State have increased the demand for local housing among its students, said Jo Volkert, the school's interim vice president of student affairs. Last year, 50 percent of freshmen came from counties outside the Bay Area -- double the rate in 2000. Volkert notes that those students generally don't have family nearby they can live with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erick Gaona, a junior studying environmental science at S.F. State, applied for on-campus housing last semester. Gaona was put on a waitlist. But with school starting, he felt he couldn't wait any longer and began looking for off-campus housing on Craigslist. When he found nothing within his budget, he decided to live out of his car for a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It definitely was a downer,\" said Gaona. \"The thing I was worried about mostly every day was that if my car got broken into, then my 'house' basically has this huge hole in it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaona, who is from Los Angeles, had his entire life in his car. He said that was the only inconvenience. But Gaona often had to schedule his sleeping schedule around store hours at the Trader Joe's near campus so that he could wash up before it closed. He had a yoga mat for a mattress and couldn't cook warm meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding a shared house in the Sunset District has made all the difference in his college experience, Gaona said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've found my grades have gone up because having that comfort and having that proximity,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>S.F. State has announced plans to develop housing that would ease, if not end, its housing squeeze. The university currently has a public-private partnership called the Holloway Project under review. Officials say the project would add about 250 to 450 beds and could be ready to occupy by 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Commuting From Far Away \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students who choose to attend school in San Francisco are finding ways around dealing with the housing market, by avoiding it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Half of all students attending S.F. State don’t even live in the city, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://parking.sfsu.edu/sites/sites7.sfsu.edu.parking/files/forms/SF%20State%20Transportation%20Survey%202014%20FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">university’s latest transportation survey\u003c/a>. Instead, they live in the East Bay, North Bay or Peninsula.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick Racela, 23, drives to S.F. State from his parents' home in Pittsburg -- about 40 miles away -- because he cannot afford to live in San Francisco. He said his commute to school lasts anywhere between an hour to an hour and a half one way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It affects all aspects of my life,” said Racela. “I wouldn't say this would be the best option because of the toll that commuting can take on your mental and physical health, but it's the only option I had.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Racela also works and is involved in organizations on campus, he said he has to plan his life weeks and even months ahead to account for the time it'll take him to get from Pittsburg to the city for events and meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Racela said he sometimes still thinks about one day being able to move to the city, but hesitates when he thinks about his student debt. For now, he's putting up with the commute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The hustle and grind really puts a strain on you as it is,\" he said. \"Commuting can intensify that strain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Impact of High Rents\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rapid rise in San Francisco housing prices is also making it hard for students to find a place to live -- even at schools training future doctors and lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clare Hansen-Shinnerl, UC San Francisco’s assistant vice chancellor of campus services, told supervisors that the medical school's students used to rely on off-campus housing but can no longer afford it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because on-campus housing at UCSF is currently 40 percent below market rate, Shinnerl said on-campus housing has become all the more appealing.

It’s not good for the students. It’s not good for the broader population of San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/261360792&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Planning Department says there are about 9,000 on-campus beds available to students across campuses citywide. AnMarie \u003c!--correct spelling--> Rodgers, a senior policy adviser with the department, said at the hearing that even though colleges have built more housing and have plans to build more, the city would need 28,000 more beds to house just half of those attending school here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those beds won't appear any time soon. The process of building in the city is expensive and slow. David Seward, chief financial officer for UC Hastings College of the Law, told the hearing about another obstacle public colleges face in developing housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There is no state funding provided to support student housing,\" Seward told supervisors. \"Under the Master Plan for Higher Education, all of these projects must be self-supporting.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Squeeze at S.F. State\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One place the shortage of student housing is particularly acute is San Francisco State University, which provides housing for about 4,000 of its nearly 30,000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Changing enrollment patterns at S.F. State have increased the demand for local housing among its students, said Jo Volkert, the school's interim vice president of student affairs. Last year, 50 percent of freshmen came from counties outside the Bay Area -- double the rate in 2000. Volkert notes that those students generally don't have family nearby they can live with.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erick Gaona, a junior studying environmental science at S.F. State, applied for on-campus housing last semester. Gaona was put on a waitlist. But with school starting, he felt he couldn't wait any longer and began looking for off-campus housing on Craigslist. When he found nothing within his budget, he decided to live out of his car for a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It definitely was a downer,\" said Gaona. \"The thing I was worried about mostly every day was that if my car got broken into, then my 'house' basically has this huge hole in it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gaona, who is from Los Angeles, had his entire life in his car. He said that was the only inconvenience. But Gaona often had to schedule his sleeping schedule around store hours at the Trader Joe's near campus so that he could wash up before it closed. He had a yoga mat for a mattress and couldn't cook warm meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finding a shared house in the Sunset District has made all the difference in his college experience, Gaona said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I've found my grades have gone up because having that comfort and having that proximity,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>S.F. State has announced plans to develop housing that would ease, if not end, its housing squeeze. The university currently has a public-private partnership called the Holloway Project under review. Officials say the project would add about 250 to 450 beds and could be ready to occupy by 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Commuting From Far Away \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some students who choose to attend school in San Francisco are finding ways around dealing with the housing market, by avoiding it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Half of all students attending S.F. State don’t even live in the city, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://parking.sfsu.edu/sites/sites7.sfsu.edu.parking/files/forms/SF%20State%20Transportation%20Survey%202014%20FINAL.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">university’s latest transportation survey\u003c/a>. Instead, they live in the East Bay, North Bay or Peninsula.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Patrick Racela, 23, drives to S.F. State from his parents' home in Pittsburg -- about 40 miles away -- because he cannot afford to live in San Francisco. He said his commute to school lasts anywhere between an hour to an hour and a half one way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It affects all aspects of my life,” said Racela. “I wouldn't say this would be the best option because of the toll that commuting can take on your mental and physical health, but it's the only option I had.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because Racela also works and is involved in organizations on campus, he said he has to plan his life weeks and even months ahead to account for the time it'll take him to get from Pittsburg to the city for events and meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Racela said he sometimes still thinks about one day being able to move to the city, but hesitates when he thinks about his student debt. For now, he's putting up with the commute.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The hustle and grind really puts a strain on you as it is,\" he said. \"Commuting can intensify that strain.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Impact of High Rents\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rapid rise in San Francisco housing prices is also making it hard for students to find a place to live -- even at schools training future doctors and lawyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clare Hansen-Shinnerl, UC San Francisco’s assistant vice chancellor of campus services, told supervisors that the medical school's students used to rely on off-campus housing but can no longer afford it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because on-campus housing at UCSF is currently 40 percent below market rate, Shinnerl said on-campus housing has become all the more appealing. But the university has housing for only about 1,000 of its more than 6,300 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shinnerl said the housing shortage at the college is a particularly pressing problem because of how critical access to campus is to the medical curriculum there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students and trainees need proximity to labs, patients, clinics,” said Shinnerl. “They don't have options to live far away.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCSF is planning to build 550 housing units in the city's Dogpatch neighborhood, but Shinnerl admits that doesn’t solve much for current students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We call the students and trainees at UCSF right now the 'sandwich generation,' because they don't have a solution for them,” said Shinnerl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>An Extra Burden for Students at City College\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the HARTS program at City College of San Francisco, students stop in for food vouchers and subsidized Muni passes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one corner of the office there’s a microwave on a shelf, along with free Cup Noodles.

Chairs of diversity-related departments, like African American or LGBT studies, say their departments are under siege as programs are being cut.

Campus police blocked the entrances to the building, said Emslie, forcing the 250 or so marchers to circle the building looking for an open door. Protesters eventually pushed aside San Francisco Community College Police Chief Andre Barnes and forced their way inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, said Emslie, \"it was a melee.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus police were promptly joined by officers from the San Francisco Police Department, who attempted to physically stop the protesters from entering the building. According to Emslie, batons were used to push back the crowd, and there was at least one detention of a student. Emslie said that while that student was being held on the ground in the process of being detained, he was hit by an officer, slamming his head into the concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AFT Local 2121 President and CCSF English teacher Alisa Messer also reported a student being pepper-sprayed and receiving medical attention. \"This has never happened at City College,\" said Messer of the physical altercation with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been no official word on the number of detainees or any charges that may be brought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a relative standoff has been reached, with about a dozen students inside the lobby of the administration building conducting a sit-in and the remainder of the protesters holding a sit-in outside the building. There are approximately 20 officers outside, monitoring the crowd, and about that many inside, said Emslie, but the administration has said it is going to release the SFPD officers and continue to oversee the scene with just CCSF officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor David Campos, who was scheduled to hold a symposium this evening on the CCSF accreditation issues, arrived after the incident and helped to negotiate with both Barnes and school officials. Campos has introduced a resolution calling for the restoration of the City College Board of Trustees and is holding a hearing on the issue at City Hall on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negotiated standoff will allow the students, both inside and outside, to continue their peaceful sit-ins, but no one else will be allowed to enter the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group was protesting the scope of powers of \u003ca title=\"Controversy Rages Over Possible Closure of City College of San Francisco\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/10/103173/\" target=\"_blank\">Agrella\u003c/a>, who was appointed after \u003ca title=\"Timeline: CCSF’s Fight to Retain Accreditation\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/timeline-of-ccsfs-accreditation-woes/\" target=\"_blank\">CCSF lost its accreditation last summer\u003c/a>. Last July, the California Community Colleges Board of Governors stripped the elected City College Board of Trustees of its powers after the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges announced that the school would have its accreditation revoked because of financial and governance issues. The board of governors replaced the trustees with Agrella, who has unilateral power over decisions on the school's rules and regulations.

I’m a dedicated participant in the fight to save City College.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/timeline-of-ccsfs-accreditation-woes/\" target=\"_blank\">-year battle\u003c/a> between City College and the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges has drawn charges of conflict of interest in the private regulatory body, a state audit of the commission and three lawsuits, including one brought by the city of San Francisco. An \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/02/122601/judge-blocks-closure-City-College-San-Francisco\" target=\"_blank\">injunction granted in that case\u003c/a> put the school's closure on hold indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But students and teachers with the Save CCSF Coalition say much of the damage is already done. The school \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccsf.edu/NEW/content/dam/Organizational_Assets/Department/Research_Planning_Grants/EnrollmentManagement/EnrollmentReport/DailyEnrollmentReportSP2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">shed more than 5,000 students\u003c/a> since last year. Chairs of diversity-related departments, like African American or LGBT studies, say their departments are under siege as programs are being cut. In addition, students who pay nonresident tuition, including noncitizen students, are angry about thousands of dollars in fees now being charged at the beginning of the semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, I was not able to register this semester,\" Itzel Calvo said at yesterday's rally. \"I pay out-of-state tuition because I'm undocumented, and so for me that's about $3,000 for only two classes.\" Calvo also said the school's payment plan requiring 20 percent down is also \"completely unaffordable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City College Chancellor Arthur Tyler said the college has an obligation to be stricter about collecting fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've instituted a payment plan to try to help students as much as we possibly can, but we've also got a fiscal crisis and I have a fiduciary responsibility to the state and to the taxpayers to ensure that we are collecting fees in a timely way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters gathered yesterday afternoon and listened to students and teachers decry the policy and other changes imposed by Agrella, who replaced the elected board of trustees last summer by order of state Community Colleges Chancellor Brice Harris. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Neighborhood Safety and Services Committee is considering a resolution today that would urge Harris to restore the elected Board of Trustees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"From my perspective the board should have been restored months ago,\" Supervisor David Campos said. \"I came here as an undocumented student, to the U.S., and I think education is not a privilege, it's a right. Part of that right is that you're allowed to have a reasonable way of paying for something as basic as education, and the fact that they're not giving these students that opportunity is actually shameful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Violence erupted yesterday after the crowd tried to get into City College's main administration building at the Ocean campus in southern San Francisco.

The idea of civil discourse starts with being civil.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyler said the inside of the building, Conlan Hall, is not one of the three designated free-speech zones on campus.

One such policy the students are demanding be reversed is the aggressive payment policy that has forced many students out of school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Itzel Calvo, an undocumented student, is also quoted in the release explaining how the payment policy was hurtful to low-income and undocumented students. \"I was not able to enroll in classes this semester unless I paid thousands of dollars in tuition up front, even before the classes started.

She also reported seeing students being hit by batons and that officers, at one point, arrived on the scene in full riot gear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students, who have been inside the building for nearly an hour and a half now, are making posters with slogans on them and snacking on whatever food they have in their bags, said Garabato. There are no serious injuries among the group inside and they intend to stay there \"all night if we have to,\" she said, until their demands are met.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rally at City College of San Francisco turned violent this afternoon when protesters attempted to enter the school's administration building, Conlan Hall, to present a petition to special trustee Robert Agrella calling for his resignation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to KQED reporter Alex Emslie, who was on campus covering the rally organized by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveccsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Save CCSF Coalition\u003c/a>, the event became chaotic around 1:30 p.m. when students and teachers tried to enter Conlan Hall. Campus police blocked the entrances to the building, said Emslie, forcing the 250 or so marchers to circle the building looking for an open door. Protesters eventually pushed aside San Francisco Community College Police Chief Andre Barnes and forced their way inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, said Emslie, \"it was a melee.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus police were promptly joined by officers from the San Francisco Police Department, who attempted to physically stop the protesters from entering the building. According to Emslie, batons were used to push back the crowd, and there was at least one detention of a student. Emslie said that while that student was being held on the ground in the process of being detained, he was hit by an officer, slamming his head into the concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AFT Local 2121 President and CCSF English teacher Alisa Messer also reported a student being pepper-sprayed and receiving medical attention. \"This has never happened at City College,\" said Messer of the physical altercation with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been no official word on the number of detainees or any charges that may be brought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a relative standoff has been reached, with about a dozen students inside the lobby of the administration building conducting a sit-in and the remainder of the protesters holding a sit-in outside the building. There are approximately 20 officers outside, monitoring the crowd, and about that many inside, said Emslie, but the administration has said it is going to release the SFPD officers and continue to oversee the scene with just CCSF officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor David Campos, who was scheduled to hold a symposium this evening on the CCSF accreditation issues, arrived after the incident and helped to negotiate with both Barnes and school officials. Campos has introduced a resolution calling for the restoration of the City College Board of Trustees and is holding a hearing on the issue at City Hall on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negotiated standoff will allow the students, both inside and outside, to continue their peaceful sit-ins, but no one else will be allowed to enter the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group was protesting the scope of powers of \u003ca title=\"Controversy Rages Over Possible Closure of City College of San Francisco\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/10/103173/\" target=\"_blank\">Agrella\u003c/a>, who was appointed after \u003ca title=\"Timeline: CCSF’s Fight to Retain Accreditation\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/timeline-of-ccsfs-accreditation-woes/\" target=\"_blank\">CCSF lost its accreditation last summer\u003c/a>. Last July, the California Community Colleges Board of Governors stripped the elected City College Board of Trustees of its powers after the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges announced that the school would have its accreditation revoked because of financial and governance issues. The board of governors replaced the trustees with Agrella, who has unilateral power over decisions on the school's rules and regulations. Many of the changes Agrella has made, particularly salary increases for administration and a student payment plan, have come under criticism by staff and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
