His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>The state of California on Thursday agreed to settle a years-long, high-profile lawsuit that accused the state of depriving low-income students of color of their constitutional right to a basic education — by failing to teach them reading skills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under an agreement reached with the plaintiffs in the complaint, \u003ca href=\"https://media2.mofo.com/documents/171205-ellla-t-v-california-complaint.pdf\">Ella T. v. State of California\u003c/a>, the state will provide $50 million specifically to improve literacy in the 75 California elementary schools with the highest concentration of third-graders scoring in the bottom tier of the state’s standardized reading exam.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Mark Rosenbaum, lead attorney in the lawsuit\"]‘We brought this case because achievement of literacy for all children remains the single most urgent crisis in California today.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement, part of which needs the Legislature’s approval, also requires the state to advise public schools how to reduce disparities in discipline of students of color, according to an outline of the agreement provided by Public Counsel, the pro-bono firm representing the suit’s plaintiffs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Public Counsel celebrated Superior Court Judge Rupert Byrdsong’s approval of the settlement, calling it “a historic first step forward towards affirming the (right to literacy) for all children in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We brought this case because achievement of literacy for all children remains the single most urgent crisis in California today,” Mark Rosenbaum, Public Counsel’s lead attorney in the lawsuit, said in prepared remarks. “This settlement is a milestone in that struggle. It is not the endpoint, nor was it ever intended to be. No one — and I’m sure Governor (Gavin) Newsom, State Board of Education President (Linda) Darling-Hammond, and (State) Superintendent (Tony) Thurmond agree — should take this as the last word, or anything close.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vicky Waters, a press secretary for the governor, said in a statement: “California is committed to closing opportunity gaps by directing extra support and resources to school districts and schools that serve students who need extra help.” She noted that California rejiggered its school funding formula in 2013 to target additional money to schools with a greater share of disadvantaged students, and added that Newsom’s 2020-21 budget would steer $600 million in “opportunity grants” to low-performing, high-poverty schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today’s announced settlement builds further on these proposed investments and focuses on strengthening early literacy programs, which are critical to a child’s later success in school,” Waters said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/achievement-gap-california-explainer-schools-education-disparities-explained/\">California’s attempts at reform have led to mixed results\u003c/a>: While some gaps in achievement have narrowed, the gap between black students and their white and Asian peers has remained mostly stagnant. The slow improvement in results has fueled growing calls from some legislators and civil rights advocates to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2020/01/follow-the-money-are-changes-coming-for-california-school-funding-law/\">strengthen oversight\u003c/a> of how school districts spend extra money intended for students who are low-income, English learners and in foster care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Introduced in Los Angeles County Superior Court in December 2017, the lawsuit listed the California Department of Education and State Board of Education as defendants. Plaintiffs claimed it was the “first in the nation” to seek to establish access to literacy as a constitutional right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plaintiffs included current and former students of three California elementary schools with some of the lowest reading proficiency marks in California: La Salle Avenue Elementary in Los Angeles Unified School District, Van Buren Elementary in Stockton Unified and the Inglewood charter school Children of Promise Preparatory Academy. The suit sought to hold the state responsible for the students’ poor literacy, noting that 11 of the country’s 26 lowest-performing large school districts were based in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ella T., a 7-year-old black student at La Salle Elementary when the complaint was introduced, did not receive the “intensive support” and interventions she needed by the time she left first grade reading below kindergarten level, according to the suit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='schools']Several other students of color represented in the complaint also were several grade levels behind in reading literacy. One black student who attended La Salle, identified in the suit as 11-year-old Russell W., did a book report for his fifth-grade class on “The Cat in the Hat,” a book meant for kindergarten readers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thursday’s settlement did not establish any precedent over whether students have a constitutional right to access to literacy, plaintiffs’ attorneys said.

It is not the endpoint, nor was it ever intended to be. No one — and I’m sure Governor (Gavin) Newsom, State Board of Education President (Linda) Darling-Hammond, and (State) Superintendent (Tony) Thurmond agree — should take this as the last word, or anything close.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vicky Waters, a press secretary for the governor, said in a statement: “California is committed to closing opportunity gaps by directing extra support and resources to school districts and schools that serve students who need extra help.” She noted that California rejiggered its school funding formula in 2013 to target additional money to schools with a greater share of disadvantaged students, and added that Newsom’s 2020-21 budget would steer $600 million in “opportunity grants” to low-performing, high-poverty schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today’s announced settlement builds further on these proposed investments and focuses on strengthening early literacy programs, which are critical to a child’s later success in school,” Waters said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/explainers/achievement-gap-california-explainer-schools-education-disparities-explained/\">California’s attempts at reform have led to mixed results\u003c/a>: While some gaps in achievement have narrowed, the gap between black students and their white and Asian peers has remained mostly stagnant. The slow improvement in results has fueled growing calls from some legislators and civil rights advocates to \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/2020/01/follow-the-money-are-changes-coming-for-california-school-funding-law/\">strengthen oversight\u003c/a> of how school districts spend extra money intended for students who are low-income, English learners and in foster care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Moreover, and more importantly, the approach taken by our striking graduate student employees is having a significant negative impact on the emotional well-being and academic success of our undergraduate students, our dedicated staff who have gone above and beyond to mitigate the consequences, and the very mission of our campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students are demanding $1,412 more per month. Currently, graduate students who work as teaching assistants earn about $2,434 before taxes, according to the graduate student association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students like Gilichinskaya insist the 3% annual cost of living increases in the current contract are not enough to be able to afford the increasing cost of housing in Santa Cruz, where monthly rents often exceed $2,000 .

When students continued to refuse to disperse, police individually dragged them away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At one point an officer grabbed me by the back of the head, grabbed me by my hair and threw me face first onto the street,” he said. “At that point I felt something very very hard on the back of my head … basically rubbing my face into the street.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recalled screaming, “You’re hurting me, why are you doing this? Please stop,” until his face was pushed into the ground so he couldn’t scream anymore, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More demonstrators poured into the intersection and took the places of those being arrested in the tense standoff, \u003ca href=\"https://www.santacruzsentinel.com/2020/02/12/at-least-17-arrests-as-ucsc-students-stand-off-against-police/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/robsorio/status/1227836241124573184\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was a big push from protesters to let them go,” said Stephen Yogi, an undergraduate student studying history, who watched the scene unfold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sirigoti said he and the other demonstrators were put in an Alameda County law enforcement van and taken to a processing station at an offsite university property near Natural Bridges State Beach. The students were processed and given an immediate two-week suspension from campus property.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their charges include unlawful assembly, obstructing a public roadway and disobeying a lawful order, according to UCSC spokesman Scott Hernandez-Jason. All but one was cited and released.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Hernandez-Jason defended the police response.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Officers repeatedly tried to deescalate the situation and made clear that blocking this major roadway had to stop or it would lead to arrest,” he said. “Demonstrators locked arms, sat in the roadway, and refused to move back onto the university field.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"James Sirigotis, a teaching assistant and Ph.D. candidate in sociology\"]‘It’s never a problem of not having money, it’s a problem of how that money is being spent.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During major disruptions like this, Hernandez-Jason said, campus police call on other law enforcement agencies to provide additional support, and don’t know the cost until after after the action has concluded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“UCSC’s police officers have a critical role in ensuring safety and security to all on campus. They protect everyone’s ability to exercise the constitutionally protected rights of free expression, speech and assembly,” he said. “These rights do not extend, however, to disrupting regular and essential operations of the university by occupying offices, blocking roads or infringing on the rights of others.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After his release, Sirigotis tried to get medical care for the swelling and cuts on his face, but the suspension prevented him from going to his primary care doctor at the on-campus health center. Instead, he went to urgent care, where a doctor dressed his wounds and confirmed he suffered blunt-force trauma and might have a slight concussion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The university is choosing to spend a tremendous amount of money on police intimidation, police violence, police brutality, against peaceful unarmed students,” said Sirigotis, who also has a 2-inch bald patch on the back of his head where police yanked his hair out. “I think it’s a huge indication of the amount of resources at the UC and that it’s never a problem of not having money, it’s a problem of how that money is being spent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One student also sustained a gash to his face and another student sustained a broken finger, according to a press release from the striking students. “The size and brutality of the police response has been stark,” the release said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/cityonahill/status/1227737905717637120\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez-Jason, though, said many claims of injury have been greatly exaggerated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are aware of many unsubstantiated rumors being spread on social media,” he said. “Anyone who has a complaint about police conduct can submit a\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/AFTRC829m0ujJJ1MunSRxz?domain=police.ucsc.edu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> report online\u003c/a> and the department will review following standard procedures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Deborah Gould, an associate professor of sociology, works with Sirigotis and watched his clash with police on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a very menacing police presence and I think it really escalated the situation unnecessarily, and people got hurt,” said Gould, who joined students on the picket line.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The faculty here realize that this university can not function without the labor of our graduate students, and they need to be paid a living wage for the job they do,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>‘This Is a Crisis Situation’\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>UCSC graduate students started their grading strike in December, refusing to submit fall quarter grades until they receive a $1,400 monthly raise. Teaching assistants, who usually work 20 hours a week, makes an average of $2,400 a month. In contrast, an average one-bedroom apartment in Santa Cruz rents for $2,600 per month, according to RENTCafé.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"uc-santa-cruz\" label=\"related coverage\"]“The strike is raising really important and fundamental issues in relationship to graduate student economic justice and housing justice in Santa Cruz, one of the most expensive cities to live in in the country,” said T.J. Demos, an art history professor at the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university does, however, waive tuition for grad students who work as teaching assistants, and provides benefits like health insurance and reimbursement for child care expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to be out of rent burden,” said Veronica Hamilton, a teaching assistant who is pursuing her Ph.D. in social psychology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamilton said she received a disciplinary warning letter from the university last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There are many people who are ready to drop out of graduate school because they can’t afford it,” she said. “This is a crisis situation. And what we need is the administration to prioritize graduate students in their budget.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Hernandez-Jason said the school does not have the authority to change the teaching assistant’s labor contract because it was already negotiated by the union representing graduate students throughout the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez-Jason said the school has been extremely disappointed about the course of action the students have decided to take. “This can have a profound, and perhaps unexpected impact on our undergraduate students, including loss of financial aid, ability to graduate, declare a major, or apply to other programs including graduate school,” he said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

"content": "\u003cp>Weighing in on a charged debate that could influence college admissions across the country, a University of California faculty task force \u003ca href=\"https://senate.universityofcalifornia.edu/_files/underreview/sttf-report.pdf\">recommended\u003c/a> Monday that the university continue requiring applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores, but work to develop its own admissions test.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though not the university’s final decision on the subject, the recommendations are a blow to critics who say the tests discriminate against low-income students and underrepresented minorities. And they are a boon to the test administrators, the College Board and ACT Inc., which offered the exams to more than 100,000 students who applied to UC last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faculty committee’s report \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2019/12/what-if-university-california-drops-sat-test-uc/\">follows months of speculation\u003c/a> about whether UC might make it optional for applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores — as more than 1,000 colleges have done — or replace them with the Smarter Balanced tests that all California 11th-graders take. The task force rejected both options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the faculty group recommended the university keep the test requirement in place while it creates its own exam, a process it estimated could take nine years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the report acknowledges that black, Latino and Native American students are underrepresented on UC campuses, and that some of that gap is due to test scores, it found that other systemic problems — such as lower rates of high school graduation and completion of college-prep courses — are bigger factors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Task force members said they were surprised to find that test score differences did not explain racial disparities in admission rates. They said UC’s admissions process mitigates the scores’ influence by comparing them to those of other students from the applicant’s school and considering them along with 13 other factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new, UC-designed admissions test could “assess a broader array of student learning and capabilities” and “potentially show smaller disparities than current measures along the lines of race, ethnicity, and [socioeconomic status],” the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Coverage\" tag=\"university-of-california\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the five other recommendations the task force issued were expanding a UC program that guarantees admission to the top 9% of graduates from each high school in the state, and studying both university admissions practices and individual SAT and ACT test questions to root out discriminatory impact. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report comes in the wake of two lawsuits filed by the Compton Unified School District, community groups and individual high school students arguing that UC’s use of the tests violates the California Constitution. The nationwide college admissions scandal, in which at least two UC campuses became entangled, has also raised questions about the role economic privilege plays in easing access to the public university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The University of California faces a crisis of legitimacy around its undergraduate admissions processes,” the task force report reads. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also hinted at dissent among task force members over the recommendations, noting that some thought the university should stop using the tests even before designing a replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue now goes to UC’s Academic Senate, where faculty will discuss it before submitting a final recommendation in April, to be taken up by the university’s board of regents in May.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And they are a boon to the test administrators, the College Board and ACT Inc., which offered the exams to more than 100,000 students who applied to UC last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faculty committee’s report \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2019/12/what-if-university-california-drops-sat-test-uc/\">follows months of speculation\u003c/a> about whether UC might make it optional for applicants to submit SAT or ACT scores — as more than 1,000 colleges have done — or replace them with the Smarter Balanced tests that all California 11th-graders take. The task force rejected both options.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, the faculty group recommended the university keep the test requirement in place while it creates its own exam, a process it estimated could take nine years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the report acknowledges that black, Latino and Native American students are underrepresented on UC campuses, and that some of that gap is due to test scores, it found that other systemic problems — such as lower rates of high school graduation and completion of college-prep courses — are bigger factors. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They said UC’s admissions process mitigates the scores’ influence by comparing them to those of other students from the applicant’s school and considering them along with 13 other factors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A new, UC-designed admissions test could “assess a broader array of student learning and capabilities” and “potentially show smaller disparities than current measures along the lines of race, ethnicity, and [socioeconomic status],” the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The nationwide college admissions scandal, in which at least two UC campuses became entangled, has also raised questions about the role economic privilege plays in easing access to the public university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The University of California faces a crisis of legitimacy around its undergraduate admissions processes,” the task force report reads. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report also hinted at dissent among task force members over the recommendations, noting that some thought the university should stop using the tests even before designing a replacement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue now goes to UC’s Academic Senate, where faculty will discuss it before submitting a final recommendation in April, to be taken up by the university’s board of regents in May.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Work crews took down the iron \"Boalt Hall\" sign on the facade of the UC Berkeley Law campus Thursday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's all part of the process of separating the controversial legacy of John Boalt, a 19th-century Oakland lawyer, from the law school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move has been over two years in the making and will come as no surprise to many in the campus community. In 2018, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky recommended that Boalt’s name be untangled from the campus, due to his newly unearthed anti-Chinese writings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order for the name to be removed, similar recommendations needed to be made by a campus committee, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ and UC President Janet Napolitano. That process was finished last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to UC, Boalt’s name was attached to the building after his widow put property in San Francisco into a $100,000 trust for the university to construct a hall in his honor. That property was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, but the university still named their newly erected hall \"Boalt\" in recognition of Elizabeth Boalt’s intentions. John Boalt himself never attended or taught at the university. When the law school moved from that building, now Durant Hall, to the new building in the southeast corner of campus, the name carried over, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the first building on the UC Berkeley campus to be renamed and the second instance in the 10-campus UC system. The first was at UC Irvine, when sexual assault allegations against geneticist Francisco J. Ayala were verified.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chemerinsky said removing the name shows a united front.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To me that's very powerful. And my hope is that those who have concerns about this will go back and read the reports and look at the facts. I think many who do will come to the same conclusions,” Chemerinsky said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Charles Reichmann, UC Berkeley Law\"]'It was a speech that was filled with very crude racial stereotyping and things that would certainly to modern ears be highly offensive.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those reports were first put together in 2017 by Charles Reichmann, a UC Berkeley Law lecturer. Reichmann was researching Chinese immigration in the university’s Bancroft Library when he uncovered a speech filled with racial epithets by Boalt that advocated for “an immediate end to all immigration from China.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was a speech that was filled with very crude racial stereotyping and things that would certainly, to modern ears, be highly offensive,” Reichmann said. He later publicized his findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, UC Berkeley’s law school will be called just that — Berkeley Law. According to Chemerinsky, the school has always been called Berkeley Law — Boalt was a colloquial term. However, the moniker has been pervasive. It’s plastered on signs throughout the building, serves as the title to alumni clubs and student organizations and exists on letterheads and business cards. The dean's table still has dark blue marbled coasters that say 'Boalt Hall.'\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11798966\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1290px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11798966\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1290\" height=\"968\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920.jpg 1290w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-1044x783.jpg 1044w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-632x474.jpg 632w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/Vera_Boalt_012920-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1290px) 100vw, 1290px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Berkeley junior Victoria Vera was part of a 13-member committee that made the decision to remove the name Boalt. \u003ccite>(Gretchen Krell/UC Berkeley)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The name change is part of a larger movement.

In 2018, Berkeley Law Dean Erwin Chemerinsky recommended that Boalt’s name be untangled from the campus, due to his newly unearthed anti-Chinese writings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In order for the name to be removed, similar recommendations needed to be made by a campus committee, UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ and UC President Janet Napolitano. That process was finished last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to UC, Boalt’s name was attached to the building after his widow put property in San Francisco into a $100,000 trust for the university to construct a hall in his honor. That property was destroyed in the 1906 earthquake, but the university still named their newly erected hall \"Boalt\" in recognition of Elizabeth Boalt’s intentions. John Boalt himself never attended or taught at the university. When the law school moved from that building, now Durant Hall, to the new building in the southeast corner of campus, the name carried over, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He later publicized his findings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, UC Berkeley’s law school will be called just that — Berkeley Law. According to Chemerinsky, the school has always been called Berkeley Law — Boalt was a colloquial term. However, the moniker has been pervasive.

A student also records every session and puts it online for students in either section to use. Still, of the 40 students who enrolled for the online class, almost half dropped out. That’s not unusual for online courses, Ong said, but she’s working with Venkataraman to tweak the pacing and materials in the online course so it works better. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They got a grant from the Online Education Initiative to hire an instructional designer to help them make tweaks. They already know the graphics need updating, the pacing in some of the videos needs work and they may need to change the order of some of the modules.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because this is the first run, I think we’re really getting a lot of information about where things ought to be, and where things ought not to be,” Ong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AWS sees community colleges as a good bet to build more diverse pipelines. In a statement, a company spokesperson wrote: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will continue to increase the number of community colleges we collaborate with to create pathways from K12 into higher education and into the workforce. Collaborations with community colleges also help us to ensure we are expanding access into diverse communities — communities of color, low‐income communities, and rural — where awareness of and preparation for jobs and lifelong careers that previously might not have been attainable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AWS Educate also \u003ca href=\"https://aws.amazon.com/education/awseducate/\">has materials online\u003c/a> to teach about cloud computing, but that method doesn’t work for everyone. While the approximately 50 students at Foothill who’ve taken the introduction to cloud computing course won’t do much to stem the growing demand for cloud computing talent in the short term, Foothill says interest in next semester’s class is already up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In his experience, building a program takes months of communication with the finance and operations teams — he was inspired.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can see the changes of the traditional way of writing software to the new way,” Long said. “It makes something impossible in the past become reality.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He doesn’t want to get left behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These professionals are glad Foothill is offering cloud computing. At $31 per credit it’s an affordable way to upskill. But the genesis of the class did not come from students. It came from industry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Amazon Web Services, their Educate Team, came knocking on our door and they said, ‘We need people with this skill and we don’t have them. What can we do about it?’” said Teresa Ong, associate vice president for Workforce and CTE programs at Foothill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
