The law to revamp Cal Grant would collapse all those programs into just two: the Cal Grant 2 for community colleges and the Cal Grant 4 for four-year universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overhaul would expand eligibility to roughly 185,000 additional students \u003ca href=\"https://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/system/files/2024-03/sub-3-march-19-agenda-final.pdf#page=9\">but exclude 48,000 students currently eligible\u003c/a> — a net increase of 137,000 students.

If they’re community college students, they’ll no longer need to satisfy a minimum GPA of 2.0. This builds on a 2021 law that \u003ca href=\"https://ebudget.ca.gov/2021-22/pdf/Enacted/BudgetSummary/HigherEducation.pdf#page=9\">allowed more than 100,000 community college students\u003c/a> to receive the Cal Grant for the first time. University students would be newly eligible because the rules \u003ca href=\"https://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/system/files/2024-03/sub-3-march-19-agenda-final.pdf#page=8\">would no longer limit the award\u003c/a> to students under 28.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more higher ed coverage\" tag=\"higher-education\"]The new rules would also make students eligible for the Cal Grant even if they enroll directly into a university more than a year after finishing high school, removing the time-out-of-high school restriction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the overhaul would also lower the income ceiling, excluding about 48,000 students who are now eligible for it. For example, under current rules, the income ceiling for a family of four with a dependent student going to college is $131,000. It would drop to $76,000 under the Cal Grant overhaul, \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257710?t=96&f=4bdaaf3f51f0652e230d2df807380a98\">Qing said at a March legislative hearing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, university students \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257710?t=130&f=4bdaaf3f51f0652e230d2df807380a98\">would no longer be eligible\u003c/a> for some cash awards, with the expectation that campus financial aid programs \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257710?t=159&f=4bdaaf3f51f0652e230d2df807380a98\">pick up the slack\u003c/a>. At the same time, some university students who now only receive a $1,650 cash award as freshmen would instead be granted the tuition waiver, which is a higher value.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, under the new Cal Grant rules, an additional 45,000 lower-income students who are parents would be eligible for the award, and \u003ca href=\"https://www.csac.ca.gov/students-dependents\">students with dependent children \u003c/a>could receive an additional $6,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Most of the new awards would go to community college students\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The agency that oversees financial aid, the California Student Aid Commission, \u003ca href=\"https://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/system/files/2024-03/sub-3-march-19-agenda-final.pdf#page=10\">projects that by the end of the decade\u003c/a>, 120,000 more community college students will receive a Cal Grant annually under the overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a different story for UC students. Under existing rules, the number of UC students receiving a Cal Grant is projected to grow by 17,000 by 2030. But under the overhauled Cal Grant, only 5,500 more UC students would get the award by then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, students at UC, which has the highest tuition, would collectively receive more Cal Grant dollars than students elsewhere.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember David Alvarez, a Democrat from Chula Vista, noted at a March hearing that UC is \u003ca href=\"https://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/system/files/2024-03/sub-3-march-13-final-agenda.pdf#page=6\">enrolling a smaller percentage of lower-income students\u003c/a> than in the past, which he thinks is the reason why the system is projected to see fewer of its students acquire a Cal Grant under the overhaul.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s identify more of our California students that are lower income to be able to attend our UC system,” \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257710?t=1632&f=4bdaaf3f51f0652e230d2df807380a98\">Alvarez said\u003c/a>. “And therefore, I think Cal Grant can be a net benefit for the UC system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alvarez, who leads the Assembly’s budget subcommittee on education, wants to see the Cal Grant expanded in some capacity by July when the state’s 2024–25 budget begins. “We know it will happen, but we are in a budget situation where we need to think about how that is going to happen. But I believe it must start this year,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, state senators asked the Student Aid Commission to float some ideas for a \u003ca href=\"https://sbud.senate.ca.gov/sites/sbud.senate.ca.gov/files/March%207%202024_%20CA%20Student%20Aid%20Commission%20UC%20CSU%20CCC%20UC%20College%20of%20the%20Law%20SF%20State%20Library.pdf#page=8\">partial rollout that limits costs\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One idea is to increase the size of the community college cash awards this year so they’re tied to inflation — one of the changes that would kick in under a full Cal Grant overhaul anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another option is to expand the number of students who are also parents receiving the cash award but lower the amount each student receives. An official with the commission, Jake Brymner, told lawmakers at a March hearing that doing so would mean 45,000 more students receive the cash award but that everyone \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257579?t=410&f=cf17d1310e8ea48f9120dabd65ef74b0\">would get between $3,000 and $4,000\u003c/a> — less than the $6,000 students get now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brymner \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257579?t=305&f=cf17d1310e8ea48f9120dabd65ef74b0\">also suggested\u003c/a> limiting the Cal Grant for community college students to those who meet the current 2.0 GPA rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, lawmakers could overhaul the Cal Grant but \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257579?t=452&f=cf17d1310e8ea48f9120dabd65ef74b0\">lower the income ceilings even more\u003c/a> to limit costs, Brymner said. That idea is likely the least popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would hate to see a reduction to the income ceilings,” Noelia Gonzalez, Cal State’s director for financial aid programs, said \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257579?t=620&f=cf17d1310e8ea48f9120dabd65ef74b0\">at the same hearing\u003c/a>. She said it would come at a particularly poor time for middle-class students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because of the state’s budget deficit, Newsom favors nixing a planned one-time increase to the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2023/07/middle-class-scholarship-california/\">Middle Class Scholarship\u003c/a>, a relatively new financial aid program funded at around $630 million in 2022–23 and $860 million in 2023–24. Last year, lawmakers had promised to put \u003ca href=\"https://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/system/files/2024-03/sub-3-march-19-agenda-final.pdf#page=16\">an additional $60 million into the scholarship\u003c/a>.

An official with the commission, Jake Brymner, told lawmakers at a March hearing that doing so would mean 45,000 more students receive the cash award but that everyone \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257579?t=410&f=cf17d1310e8ea48f9120dabd65ef74b0\">would get between $3,000 and $4,000\u003c/a> — less than the $6,000 students get now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brymner \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257579?t=305&f=cf17d1310e8ea48f9120dabd65ef74b0\">also suggested\u003c/a> limiting the Cal Grant for community college students to those who meet the current 2.0 GPA rule.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, lawmakers could overhaul the Cal Grant but \u003ca href=\"https://digitaldemocracy.calmatters.org/hearings/257579?t=452&f=cf17d1310e8ea48f9120dabd65ef74b0\">lower the income ceilings even more\u003c/a> to limit costs, Brymner said.

Local news to keep you rooted. California State University faculty held a series of one day strikes this past week across four campuses, including here in the bay at San Francisco State. The California Faculty Association, which represents 29,000 professors, lecturers, librarians and counselors, says that without better pay and smaller classes, the quality of students education suffers. And at San Francisco State, workers are particularly upset as the university also plans to cut hundreds of jobs and classes next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>We are the engine of this, you know, university. University consists of faculty and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Today, the Cal State faculty strikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>On Tuesday, I went to San Francisco State University’s campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Juan Carlos Lara is a reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>SF State is one of four CSU campuses that was participating in this series of single day strikes this week provided by the union. So it started with Cal Poly Pomona on Monday, SF State was Tuesday. Then that was followed by CSU, L.A. and Sacramento State was the last day. I’d say the mood was very energized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>There were a few hundred people there for the strike. There was a lot of anger and frustration around the stalling in negotiations. But people also seemed pretty hopeful that something productive would come of their collective action, that they could pressure the university to make more movement at the bargaining table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, tell me a little bit more about who exactly is on strike across these four campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>So this strike was held by the California Faculty Association, which represents some 29,000 faculty across the CSU’s 23 campuses. So that would be professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors and coaches. Mm hmm. And joining the CFA on strike for these four days was actually the Teamsters Union, which represents about 1100 skilled trades workers on those campuses. So they have their separate negotiations, but they joined in solidarity for these four days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And why are CSU faculty striking right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I mean, the big thing is, as usual, you know, salary the lowest paid lecturers in the CSU make about 50 4k. So they’re trying to raise that floor to 64. And they’re trying to get a 12% general salary increase for this year for 2023, 2024 school year. They argue that class sizes have been slowly increasing and that decreases the amount of time they’re able to give one on one attention to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>They are also hoping for a full semester of paid parental leave. There are also a few other things, like lactation centers on campuses that are accessible and gender neutral restrooms and other things. Negotiations between the CSU and the faculty union have kind of stalled. So they held these four days of strikes to kind of show the university that they were willing to hold work stoppages to get what they wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I know you had a chance to talk with some folks out there at the strike. What do faculty that you spoke with say about what it’s like to work for CSU right now and why they don’t feel like they’re getting what they deserve?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>Across the board they’re cutting. So all the humanities courses have been cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>Ali Kashani is a senior lecturer of political philosophy at SF State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>So if you’re lecturer faculty here, you’re you’re teaching more than two courses. You have a health care. So once you lose that job, you lose your health care automatically. So I think that’s a major impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>He was pretty upset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>You know, we’re just barely going to be, you know, dealing with the inflation. It’s not like we’re not asking anything more. You know, we live in a very expensive area. So 12% is nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>He feels like more money is going towards administrators, campus presidents and chancellors who get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. While the people are actually teaching these courses and supporting students are kind of struggling to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>The chancellor, who’s the new chancellor, is making $1 million and all the other, you know, the president’s day. There is no problem giving those people raises. And when it comes to us, we are the engine of this, you know, university. University consists of faculty and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>And I talked to Blanca Misse, who’s an associate professor of French at SF State. They kind of talked about why faculty are so angry and riled up and we’re so ready for this strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Blanca Misse: \u003c/strong>But the reason why it was not very hard to organize a strike at San Francisco State. I mean, it was a lot of organizing work, but it’s because the faculty were ready to go. Because when you’re losing 300 lecturer line faculty for next semester, people who’ve been working here for 20 years, when you see programs are being devastated, decimated students struggling to graduate. I mean, faculty get angry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I want to talk about how CSU is responding so far. How has the university’s system administrators responded to these demands by faculty?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>University administrators have made some small movement, so they went from their initial proposal of a 4% salary increase for the year to 5%. They were initially suggesting that the salary increases take effect after the contract is signed. The unions pushing for that to be retroactive to the beginning of the year. But in general, the university administration hasn’t really made much movement on these demands. They kind of argue that they’re too expensive and that they can’t afford them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I mean, I was going to say 5% offer compared to a 12% demand. I mean, that is a pretty big gap there between the CSU and its faculty. But why do administrators say that CSU doesn’t have enough money to pay these raises? What is their rationale there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>Yeah, well, CSU administrators say that if they did agree to a 12% annual pay increase would result in like $380 million a year for them. That’s more than the annual budgets for some of their campuses. They also say that emergency funding that they were getting from the state during the first few years of the pandemic have gone away. The enrollment is kind of on the decline and that they don’t think that agreeing to these pay increases will be sustainable in the long term for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Coming up, why university administrators at San Francisco State say declining enrollment is going to make it hard for them to give faculty what they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>At that point about declining enrollment is really interesting to me. I’m curious what we know about how CSU’s have been doing in terms of enrollment and what role is that really playing in all of this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>This year’s fall undergraduate enrollment for the CSU as a whole is about 6.5% lower than it was in 2019. Obviously, they took a hit at the start of the pandemic, but there hasn’t really seen a full recovery. And it seems like the anticipation is that it won’t be with California’s overall population being in slight decline and and people having kids at slightly slower rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lynn Mahoney: \u003c/strong>So I have a budget that I build based on two sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>I got to speak to the university’s president, Lynn Mahoney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lynn Mahoney: \u003c/strong>The state allocation, the tax dollars I get and then the tuition I collect from students. And that’s the money I can count on year after year. And that’s what I use to pay my employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>For San Francisco State. Those declines are even worse this year compared to 2019 for undergraduate enrollment has seen a 20% decline and the university says that it needs to adapt to that by making these substantive cuts. So they were looking at about 125 full time equivalent lecture positions and more than 600 classes to be cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lynn Mahoney: \u003c/strong>We’re down about 5 or 6000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>Most lecturers aren’t full time. So the union estimates that that would be about more than 300 lecturers that would be laid off. Mahoney said that she understands, but she says tough decisions have to be made and that if enrollment continues to decline, the university has to adjust for that in its staffing levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lynn Mahoney: \u003c/strong>My role as a university president is to keep the university financially solvent. In the best interests of the graduation rates of our students. But I’ve got to keep it financially solvent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Okay. So CSU says they can’t afford these pay raises that the faculty are demanding. And on top of that, at San Francisco State, there’s also these looming job cuts because of enrollment decline. How is the union responding to those claims by the CSU and the university?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>The union hired its own financial analyst to look at the university’s finances. That analyst found that the university regularly has surpluses at the end of each year and that its reserves have been growing and are now in the range of $8 billion. So they don’t think that the university even needs to use its reserves to pay for these raises. They think that with the surpluses it sees every year, this is something they can accommodate. Of course, the university denies that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brad Erickson: \u003c/strong>They have been giving us a kind of gloom and doom financial narrative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>I spoke with Brad Erickson, who’s the president of the San Francisco State chapter of the faculty Union. He said the university is sort of has a history of not being transparent with its finances and that there look at future financial situations is usually more pessimistic and that it’s in their best interest to kind of keep costs down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brad Erickson: \u003c/strong>Last year was actually the best, the strongest financial year in the CSU and at San Francisco State. So I trust the independent accountant. And and at any rate, it puts a reasonable skepticism. For anyone watching this situation to be skeptical about management’s claims, about both the impact of enrollment decline and their real financial situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, you know, we’ve been talking about a series of one day strikes, but it doesn’t really sound like these issues are going to be resolved any time soon. So are we going to see more of these strikes? Juan Carlos?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>I think that’s entirely possible, if not likely. These four day strikes were planned as sort of a testing ground so that union officials could start gathering up their support. It’s notable that these strikes weren’t only attended by faculty of those respective campuses. Some faculty kind of went from around the area to the strike nearest them to participate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>The union was also sort of motivated by trying to avoid disruptions to students because, of course, we’re in December right now. Students are nearing their finals and the end of the term. So they were hoping that this would kind of push the union to come back to the table with more meaningful proposals. If it doesn’t, which it’s very likely it won’t, They’ll probably plan bigger strikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Blanca Misse: \u003c/strong>And it will not be for one day any more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>So for Blanca said that they totally anticipate larger strikes going on for longer and covering more campuses and that in the spring, if there’s no movement at the bargaining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Blanca Misse: \u003c/strong>Table so they have a chance to do what they have to do, the CSU, but if they don’t do it, will give them another nudge with more strikes next semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>What do you think this is all going to mean for students at the end of the day? Not just the strikes, but whatever comes out of these negotiations between faculty and the CSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>One of the lines that the faculty union has pushed a lot in these rallies and in these strikes is that faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. I think it’s fair to say that lower class sizes and better compensated faculty, which would translate to lower turnover, would be beneficial to students. So some of these gains could potentially mean. Students have more one on one time with their professors and they see less turnover in the professors that they have. But in the meantime, it might mean disruptions. The beginning of the spring semester might be marked by prolonged strikes, and obviously they won’t be having classes if that becomes the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, Juan Carlos, thank you so much for taking the time to break this down.

While our team has reviewed it, there may be errors.\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I’m Ericka Cruz Guevarra and welcome to the bay. Local news to keep you rooted. California State University faculty held a series of one day strikes this past week across four campuses, including here in the bay at San Francisco State. The California Faculty Association, which represents 29,000 professors, lecturers, librarians and counselors, says that without better pay and smaller classes, the quality of students education suffers. And at San Francisco State, workers are particularly upset as the university also plans to cut hundreds of jobs and classes next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>We are the engine of this, you know, university. University consists of faculty and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Today, the Cal State faculty strikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>On Tuesday, I went to San Francisco State University’s campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Juan Carlos Lara is a reporter for KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>SF State is one of four CSU campuses that was participating in this series of single day strikes this week provided by the union. So it started with Cal Poly Pomona on Monday, SF State was Tuesday. Then that was followed by CSU, L.A. and Sacramento State was the last day. I’d say the mood was very energized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>There were a few hundred people there for the strike. There was a lot of anger and frustration around the stalling in negotiations. But people also seemed pretty hopeful that something productive would come of their collective action, that they could pressure the university to make more movement at the bargaining table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, tell me a little bit more about who exactly is on strike across these four campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>So this strike was held by the California Faculty Association, which represents some 29,000 faculty across the CSU’s 23 campuses. So that would be professors, lecturers, librarians, counselors and coaches. Mm hmm. And joining the CFA on strike for these four days was actually the Teamsters Union, which represents about 1100 skilled trades workers on those campuses. So they have their separate negotiations, but they joined in solidarity for these four days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>And why are CSU faculty striking right now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I mean, the big thing is, as usual, you know, salary the lowest paid lecturers in the CSU make about 50 4k. So they’re trying to raise that floor to 64. And they’re trying to get a 12% general salary increase for this year for 2023, 2024 school year. They argue that class sizes have been slowly increasing and that decreases the amount of time they’re able to give one on one attention to students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>They are also hoping for a full semester of paid parental leave. There are also a few other things, like lactation centers on campuses that are accessible and gender neutral restrooms and other things. Negotiations between the CSU and the faculty union have kind of stalled. So they held these four days of strikes to kind of show the university that they were willing to hold work stoppages to get what they wanted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I know you had a chance to talk with some folks out there at the strike. What do faculty that you spoke with say about what it’s like to work for CSU right now and why they don’t feel like they’re getting what they deserve?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>Across the board they’re cutting. So all the humanities courses have been cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>Ali Kashani is a senior lecturer of political philosophy at SF State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>So if you’re lecturer faculty here, you’re you’re teaching more than two courses. You have a health care. So once you lose that job, you lose your health care automatically. So I think that’s a major impact.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>He was pretty upset.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>You know, we’re just barely going to be, you know, dealing with the inflation. It’s not like we’re not asking anything more. You know, we live in a very expensive area. So 12% is nothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>He feels like more money is going towards administrators, campus presidents and chancellors who get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars. While the people are actually teaching these courses and supporting students are kind of struggling to make ends meet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ali Kashani: \u003c/strong>The chancellor, who’s the new chancellor, is making $1 million and all the other, you know, the president’s day. There is no problem giving those people raises. And when it comes to us, we are the engine of this, you know, university. University consists of faculty and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>And I talked to Blanca Misse, who’s an associate professor of French at SF State. They kind of talked about why faculty are so angry and riled up and we’re so ready for this strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Blanca Misse: \u003c/strong>But the reason why it was not very hard to organize a strike at San Francisco State. I mean, it was a lot of organizing work, but it’s because the faculty were ready to go. Because when you’re losing 300 lecturer line faculty for next semester, people who’ve been working here for 20 years, when you see programs are being devastated, decimated students struggling to graduate. I mean, faculty get angry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>I want to talk about how CSU is responding so far. How has the university’s system administrators responded to these demands by faculty?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>University administrators have made some small movement, so they went from their initial proposal of a 4% salary increase for the year to 5%. They were initially suggesting that the salary increases take effect after the contract is signed. The unions pushing for that to be retroactive to the beginning of the year. But in general, the university administration hasn’t really made much movement on these demands. They kind of argue that they’re too expensive and that they can’t afford them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Yeah, I mean, I was going to say 5% offer compared to a 12% demand. I mean, that is a pretty big gap there between the CSU and its faculty. But why do administrators say that CSU doesn’t have enough money to pay these raises? What is their rationale there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>Yeah, well, CSU administrators say that if they did agree to a 12% annual pay increase would result in like $380 million a year for them. That’s more than the annual budgets for some of their campuses. They also say that emergency funding that they were getting from the state during the first few years of the pandemic have gone away. The enrollment is kind of on the decline and that they don’t think that agreeing to these pay increases will be sustainable in the long term for them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Coming up, why university administrators at San Francisco State say declining enrollment is going to make it hard for them to give faculty what they want.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>At that point about declining enrollment is really interesting to me. I’m curious what we know about how CSU’s have been doing in terms of enrollment and what role is that really playing in all of this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>This year’s fall undergraduate enrollment for the CSU as a whole is about 6.5% lower than it was in 2019. Obviously, they took a hit at the start of the pandemic, but there hasn’t really seen a full recovery. And it seems like the anticipation is that it won’t be with California’s overall population being in slight decline and and people having kids at slightly slower rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lynn Mahoney: \u003c/strong>So I have a budget that I build based on two sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>I got to speak to the university’s president, Lynn Mahoney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lynn Mahoney: \u003c/strong>The state allocation, the tax dollars I get and then the tuition I collect from students. And that’s the money I can count on year after year. And that’s what I use to pay my employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>For San Francisco State. Those declines are even worse this year compared to 2019 for undergraduate enrollment has seen a 20% decline and the university says that it needs to adapt to that by making these substantive cuts. So they were looking at about 125 full time equivalent lecture positions and more than 600 classes to be cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lynn Mahoney: \u003c/strong>We’re down about 5 or 6000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>Most lecturers aren’t full time. So the union estimates that that would be about more than 300 lecturers that would be laid off. Mahoney said that she understands, but she says tough decisions have to be made and that if enrollment continues to decline, the university has to adjust for that in its staffing levels.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Lynn Mahoney: \u003c/strong>My role as a university president is to keep the university financially solvent. In the best interests of the graduation rates of our students. But I’ve got to keep it financially solvent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Okay. So CSU says they can’t afford these pay raises that the faculty are demanding. And on top of that, at San Francisco State, there’s also these looming job cuts because of enrollment decline. How is the union responding to those claims by the CSU and the university?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>The union hired its own financial analyst to look at the university’s finances. That analyst found that the university regularly has surpluses at the end of each year and that its reserves have been growing and are now in the range of $8 billion. So they don’t think that the university even needs to use its reserves to pay for these raises. They think that with the surpluses it sees every year, this is something they can accommodate. Of course, the university denies that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brad Erickson: \u003c/strong>They have been giving us a kind of gloom and doom financial narrative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>I spoke with Brad Erickson, who’s the president of the San Francisco State chapter of the faculty Union. He said the university is sort of has a history of not being transparent with its finances and that there look at future financial situations is usually more pessimistic and that it’s in their best interest to kind of keep costs down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Brad Erickson: \u003c/strong>Last year was actually the best, the strongest financial year in the CSU and at San Francisco State. So I trust the independent accountant. And and at any rate, it puts a reasonable skepticism. For anyone watching this situation to be skeptical about management’s claims, about both the impact of enrollment decline and their real financial situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, you know, we’ve been talking about a series of one day strikes, but it doesn’t really sound like these issues are going to be resolved any time soon. So are we going to see more of these strikes? Juan Carlos?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>I think that’s entirely possible, if not likely. These four day strikes were planned as sort of a testing ground so that union officials could start gathering up their support. It’s notable that these strikes weren’t only attended by faculty of those respective campuses. Some faculty kind of went from around the area to the strike nearest them to participate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>The union was also sort of motivated by trying to avoid disruptions to students because, of course, we’re in December right now. Students are nearing their finals and the end of the term. So they were hoping that this would kind of push the union to come back to the table with more meaningful proposals. If it doesn’t, which it’s very likely it won’t, They’ll probably plan bigger strikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Blanca Misse: \u003c/strong>And it will not be for one day any more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>So for Blanca said that they totally anticipate larger strikes going on for longer and covering more campuses and that in the spring, if there’s no movement at the bargaining.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Blanca Misse: \u003c/strong>Table so they have a chance to do what they have to do, the CSU, but if they don’t do it, will give them another nudge with more strikes next semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>What do you think this is all going to mean for students at the end of the day? Not just the strikes, but whatever comes out of these negotiations between faculty and the CSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara: \u003c/strong>One of the lines that the faculty union has pushed a lot in these rallies and in these strikes is that faculty working conditions are student learning conditions. I think it’s fair to say that lower class sizes and better compensated faculty, which would translate to lower turnover, would be beneficial to students. So some of these gains could potentially mean. Students have more one on one time with their professors and they see less turnover in the professors that they have. But in the meantime, it might mean disruptions. The beginning of the spring semester might be marked by prolonged strikes, and obviously they won’t be having classes if that becomes the case.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>Well, Juan Carlos, thank you so much for taking the time to break this down. I really appreciate it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juan Carlos Lara :\u003c/strong>Thank you so much for having me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra: \u003c/strong>That was Juan Carlos Lara, a reporter for KQED.

Only after dropping them off did she realize it was also well past the opening of fall class registration for her and the rest of her Cal State Long Beach classmates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Arquieta eventually logged on to her student portal to find the final two classes required for her degree completely booked. As a fourth-year student with no other choice but to waitlist the courses, Arquieta became nervous, wondering how this would affect her graduation date.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was just like, ‘Ah, but I kind of need these,’” Arquieta said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Student parents like Arquieta have long been an underserved population in higher education despite more than \u003ca href=\"https://education.ucdavis.edu/sites/main/files/wheelhouse_research_brief_vol_6_no_2_final.pdf\">200,000 college students\u003c/a> in California having dependents. Nationally, \u003ca href=\"https://iwpr.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Student-Parent-State-Policy-Brief-FINAL.pdf\">1 in 5\u003c/a> college students have dependents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To address their specific needs, Assemblymember Marc Berman, a Menlo Park Democrat, authored \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2881\">Assembly Bill 2881\u003c/a>, which was signed into law in September 2022. The law stipulates that all campuses across California’s three public higher education systems provide priority registration for student parents by July 1, 2023, and maintain a website listing resources for them by Feb. 1, 2023.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill would remove barriers that inhibit academic success and degree attainment for student parents, bring greater attention to their needs, and in doing so, uplift their children as well,” Berman said via email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the law took effect this year, most California student parents will have to wait for priority registration. While all 10 University of California campuses offered priority registration for student parents before this fall, both the California State University and California Community College systems failed to meet the deadline. They cited a lack of data on the number of eligible students and a lack of time to implement the necessary software. However, advocates and campus coordinators are optimistic that the law will formalize and ease data collection, allowing schools to better serve these students’ needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three public systems in California lacked a comprehensive method of regular data collection on student parents and their needs on each campus before the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, Larissa Mercado-López, a Fresno State professor of women’s, gender and sexuality studies, led the first effort in California public higher education to count the number of student parents on her campus. According to Mercado-López, 350 pregnant or parenting students self-identified as part of the 2022 fall survey — a figure she called a likely undercount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size= “medium” align= “right” citation= “Afet Dundar, senior research director, Institute for Women’s Policy Research”]’ This is about gender and racial equity, really, when we talk about student parents.’ [/pullquote]Like other public campuses in California, Fresno State relied on numbers from the Free Application for Federal Student Aid before the release of Mercado-López’s annual survey. However, given some students become a parent after applying for financial aid and with only \u003ca href=\"https://www.salliemae.com/content/dam/slm/writtencontent/Research/HowAmericaPaysforCollege2022.pdf\">70% of students\u003c/a> nationally filling out the FAFSA, Mercado-López said universities should routinely collect their data on student parent populations and their needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The law will now require campuses to collect that data. The California Community Colleges added a question to its application this past summer to identify student parents eligible for priority registration. The California State University added an option to students’ registration portals for student parents to certify their eligibility. At the UC, student parents must self-identify with their campus by filling out a form to alert the registrar of their priority registration eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It kind of indirectly addresses that invisibility issue or awareness,” said Afet Dundar, senior research director at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research in Washington, D.C. “So that’s the good part in terms of the resources and website.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data collected by campuses can help them better assist student parents by connecting them to government programs like \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/calworks\">CalWORKS\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ccceopsa.org/care\">Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic\">Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children\u003c/a> that are designed to provide financial assistance and other resources. All campuses in the UC and California Community Colleges systems successfully created or updated a website of resources for student parents to comply with the law.

While all 10 University of California campuses offered priority registration for student parents before this fall, both the California State University and California Community College systems failed to meet the deadline. They cited a lack of data on the number of eligible students and a lack of time to implement the necessary software. However, advocates and campus coordinators are optimistic that the law will formalize and ease data collection, allowing schools to better serve these students’ needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All three public systems in California lacked a comprehensive method of regular data collection on student parents and their needs on each campus before the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2019, Larissa Mercado-López, a Fresno State professor of women’s, gender and sexuality studies, led the first effort in California public higher education to count the number of student parents on her campus.

The California Community Colleges added a question to its application this past summer to identify student parents eligible for priority registration. The California State University added an option to students’ registration portals for student parents to certify their eligibility. At the UC, student parents must self-identify with their campus by filling out a form to alert the registrar of their priority registration eligibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It kind of indirectly addresses that invisibility issue or awareness,” said Afet Dundar, senior research director at the Institute for Women’s Policy Research in Washington, D.C. “So that’s the good part in terms of the resources and website.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data collected by campuses can help them better assist student parents by connecting them to government programs like \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdss.ca.gov/calworks\">CalWORKS\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.ccceopsa.org/care\">Cooperative Agencies Resources for Education\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic\">Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children\u003c/a> that are designed to provide financial assistance and other resources.

But he became discouraged when, as one of 10 counselors, he could only see a maximum of 10 students a day for 30 minutes at a time. It wasn’t enough time with students, and Gonzalez realized that most students aren’t fortunate enough to build relationships with counselors like he did with Flores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s hoping he can make more of an impact with his new company, called \u003ca href=\"https://inspirame.com/\">Inspirame\u003c/a> — or “inspire me” in Spanish.

But Solano’s class schedules required her to take them one at a time, which meant finishing in two years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I always did look at the community college and thinking this is the place where you get the lowest cost, and usually you can enroll, do the class, and be done,” she said. “You don’t have to do the huge admissions process of a university, but it’s just really hard to get classes that you want at the time that you want them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennings learned that she could finish the credentials online in one year at the former non-profit Brandman University, now UMass Global. Although choosing a private, nonprofit or for-profit institution tends to cost students more than attending a community college, Jennings said she worked as a teacher on a provisional license and her school covered her tuition costs. Jennings said she also didn’t qualify for any financial aid at the community college because she already had a degree and is married.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Maybe if I was about to get my degree, I would’ve advocated more and said, ‘Hey, we need to change this, it needs to be easier,” Jennings said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennings was among the 5% who said they did not complete their program or degree.
