She was the editor for Truth Be Told, an advice show for and by people of color. \r\n\r\nHer stories about race, space, and belonging were part of KQED's So Well Spoken project, which won RNDTA's Kaleidoscope award, honoring outstanding achievements in the coverage of diversity.\r\n\r\nPrior to joining KQED in 2015, Sandhya covered the 2012 presidential election from the swing state of Iowa for Iowa Public Radio. At KPBS in San Diego, she broke the story of a sexual harassment scandal that led to the mayor's resignation.\r\n\r\nShe got her start in radio working on documentaries about Oakland that investigated the high drop-out rate in public schools and mistrust between the police and the community.\r\n\r\nSandhya lives in Oakland and believes all stories are stories about power.",

The staff cuts would mostly impact lecturers and result in the layoff of about 325 of the university’s 1,084 largely part-time lecturers, according to the California Faculty Association, the union representing staff across the state’s CSU campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s devastating,” said Brad Erickson, a lecturer in the School of Liberal Studies and the SF State union chapter president. “It represents about 655 courses that won’t be taught. It represents slowing students’ path to graduation by not being able to get the courses they need. It also means increased workloads for the remaining faculty, who will be teaching more students in larger classes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Juliana van Olphen, chair of the Department of Public Health, said students and faculty will bear the brunt of the cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They may say, ‘If I can’t take it this semester, then I’ll have to be here an extra semester… I need this to graduate,’” van Olphen said. “The university claims to be focused on student success, yet widespread cuts to classes and layoffs of our valued colleagues break our spirit and will have a devastating impact on student success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University officials said the cuts are in response to declining enrollment, which is a main contributor to the expected budget shortfall. Fall enrollment figures have fallen every year since 2018, and this year were roughly 20% lower than those in 2018. Across the California State University system, fall enrollment rates fell roughly 5% between 2018 and 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SF State President Lynn Mahoney noted similar declining enrollment rates across the nation and specifically among educational institutions in California amid changing demographic patterns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at the college-going-age population across California, it has shrunk. And when you look at where it has shrunk, it has largely shrunk in Northern California,” Mahoney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But union members at SF State contend that the planned cuts are not proportional to enrollment declines and said the university should instead look toward its administrative budget, which grew by roughly a third across the CSU between 2006 and 2018, according to the union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s one manager for every 100 students, but only one counselor for every 1,800 students.

She added that the cuts are a means of adapting to a new baseline for the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of the enrollment decline statewide and nationwide, we’ll never get to our old numbers, but we will eventually level off and then start to increase a little,” Mahoney said. “We’ve lost $36 million in tuition revenue, so we can’t keep spending money we don’t have.

After that failed to produce results, a fact-finding panel was assembled, including members of both sides and an impartial third party, to assess the latest proposals and issue recommended terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact-finding panel’s recommendations are expected to be released before the end of the month, according to union officials. They have also announced planned single-day strikes at four campuses across the state in early December if a deal is not reached before then. San Francisco State is one of the campuses planning to strike.\u003c/p>\n\n",

This represents really skewed priorities,” Erickson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11967486\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11967486\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231115-IMG_1844-01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231115-IMG_1844-01.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231115-IMG_1844-01-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231115-IMG_1844-01-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231115-IMG_1844-01-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/231115-IMG_1844-01-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brad Erickson, a lecturer in the School of Liberal Arts and SF State union chapter president, condemns what he calls a two-tier system that separates tenure-line faculty from lecturers. \u003ccite>(Juan Carlos Lara/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Mahoney said the university and the union continued to disagree on the financial figures and pushed back on what she called the demonization of administrators.

The 23-year-old international student from Japan, now a senior at San Francisco State University, believed stay-at-home orders issued in early March would essentially constitute an early Spring Break, and that the virus would be under control by April – he and his friends even nicknamed the shutdown ‘corona-cation.’\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Initially, when I heard that the school is going fully online, me and my friends kind of thought of it lightly, sort of like a vacation,” Matsushita said. But what first seemed like a joke has resulted in grim realities and difficult choices. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the COVID-19-related health concerns all students face, international students in California are grappling with continuing to pay full tuition for online-only learning that was supposed to be a rich, in-person cultural experience – on top of worries about whether they would be allowed to return to the United States if they left for their home counties due to confusing guidance from the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Chayanee Jantaradaval, international student at SF State\"]‘We’re staying in San Francisco, paying San Francisco prices, but we’re not getting the San Francisco experience that we looked forward to, coming as an international student.’[/pullquote]The California State University system typically enrolls about 4,000 new international students annually across 23 campuses, constituting about 3% of the student population. However, due to the coronavirus, the CSU system has seen an 11% decrease in the total international student population and a 40% decrease in new international students in its Fall 2020 census. That’s despite a \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-11-10/cal-state-enrollment-surge-coronavirus-covid-online-classes\">surge in overall enrollment\u003c/a> during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lack of outreach CSUs were able to do because of shelter-at-home orders as well as visa closures in April directly impacted the number of admitted students for the fall semester, according to a spokesperson from CSU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/38b6562b7aaa73ea66fb72b06472e05d\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Nationwide, most international students come from countries in Asia,\u003c/a> and these students contribute a large amount of money to the U.S. economy.

Dr. Leo Van Cleve, who oversees international programs across Cal State universities, explained that if the number of total international students at a CSU declines in a given year, that decline will continue to impact that university for at least four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For that reason, we would like to maintain our international enrollment so that when we are able to reopen campuses, we have not lost that element of our students,” Van Cleve said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the pandemic has impacted recruitment efforts and increased bureaucratic roadblocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since shelter-in-place orders are forcing many people to work from home, international programs are unable to do their usual outreach. Despite trying various online methods, the program struggled to spread information about their study abroad programs because there were no in-person meetings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another reason why the number of international students has declined is due to limitations in visa sections in U.S. consulates worldwide since April. For international students, obtaining a visa is the first priority for studying abroad.

The United States was 13 years into the Vietnam War, Martin Luther King Jr. had been assassinated and the Black Panther Party was demanding systemic change for Black communities plagued by poverty and police brutality.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There were members of the Black Student Union who were also members of the Black Panther Party,” said Nesbit Crutchfield, who started his studies at San Francisco State as a business school student in 1967. Crutchfield — who considered himself an “aspiring revolutionary” — soon joined San Francisco State’s Black Student Union, the very first in the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11830386\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 750px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11830386 size-full\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/1515532.750x.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/1515532.750x.png 750w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/07/1515532.750x-160x111.png 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nesbit Crutchfield in a crowd at a San Francisco State College strike. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Labor Archives and Research Center, San Francisco State University)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I felt very privileged to be a member of the Black Student Union,” Crutchfield said. “It was clear to me that the Black Student Union represented a very progressive energy and thought among Black students in the Bay Area.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, just a small percentage of Black students attended San Francisco State. Enrollment rates for minority students had dwindled down to just 4%, even though 70% of students in the San Francisco Unified School District were from minority backgrounds. Black students were just a fraction of that 4%. Crutchfield remembers it as a time when “white supremacy was the norm of the day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was very unusual to see Black people in any positive positions,” Crutchfield said. “As a Black person, you expected to be one of the very few Black people in any classroom, laboratory or auditorium. [The campus] was overwhelmingly white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Black students were hungry to study their own history. The Black Student Union had been pushing the university to create a Black studies department for nearly three years, but administrators resisted the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even though ethnic studies was not validated by the university, it doesn’t mean that that study wasn’t taking place,” said \u003ca href=\"https://faculty.sfsu.edu/~cheo/\">Jason Ferreira\u003c/a>, a professor in the Department of Race and Resistance Studies at San Francisco State’s College of Ethnic Studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ferreira has spent years collecting oral histories on the student strike.

At the time, a special admissions program intended to prioritize marginalized students continued to allocate spots to white students. Meanwhile, the United States military was disproportionately drafting Black and brown men to fight in the Vietnam War. They weren’t eligible for student exemption if they weren’t in school, which meant that their right to an education was a matter of life or death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strikers vowed to boycott all classes until the school met their demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We wanted to find out and be educated about ourselves,” Crutchfield said. “If we could not get that, then nobody could get an education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Five Months of Striking\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Initially, strikers engaged in acts of disruption known as the “War of the Flea,” a campaign to disrupt the normal operations of the school.

He faced charges for illegal assembly, resisting arrest and intent to injure and maim, resulting in more than a year in jail. At 80 years old, Crutchfield, now a mental health administrator in Richmond, said he is still dealing with the trauma of that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think you can talk to anyone who was at S.F.

They believed that without ethnic studies, they themselves had been denied a proper education. Their support intensified as the strike dragged on and the violence continued.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About a month into the strike, teachers joined with demands of their own. As tensions escalated, President Smith shut down the school indefinitely. However, Gov. Ronald Reagan and the California State University Board of Trustees demanded he reopen the campus.

Enrollment rates for minority students had dwindled down to just 4%, even though 70% of students in the San Francisco Unified School District were from minority backgrounds.

Crutchfield remembers it as a time when “white supremacy was the norm of the day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was very unusual to see Black people in any positive positions,” Crutchfield said. “As a Black person, you expected to be one of the very few Black people in any classroom, laboratory or auditorium. [The campus] was overwhelmingly white.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Black students were hungry to study their own history.

This is marijuana country, known for an open, liberal culture of hippies and high times. It is also a very white part of California. Arcata is around 80 percent white, and many in the community say local residents are less than welcoming to students of color, like Lawson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been a year and a half since Lawson was killed, and his death remains unsolved. But this week, new light is being cast on Lawson’s case, across California State University campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At San Francisco State University’s Malcolm X Plaza on Monday, a group of students stood on a stage, behind them, yellow police caution tape and a banner that read “Justice for Josiah.” Underneath it, was a list of names of students who had been killed while attending CSUs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list of names included Cory Clark, another black Humboldt State student who was killed in the nearby town of Eureka in 2001. In a bitter twist, Lawson was the head of \u003ca href=\"https://thelumberjack.org/2017/04/26/humboldts-hidden-hate/\">Brothers United\u003c/a>, a group of students at HSU that formed after Clark’s unsolved murder to support young black men on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that people are still — some for the first time — talking about Lawson’s death, is due in large part to his mother, Charmaine Lawson. She’s been tirelessly campaigning to bring attention to his killing, and to ask for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11699260\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/IMG_2922-e1539713488852-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Charmaine Lawson, David Josiah Lawson's mother, speaks at a rally at Humboldt State University.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11699260\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charmaine Lawson, David Josiah Lawson's mother, speaks at a rally at Humboldt State University. \u003ccite>(Polly Stryker/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Charmaine Lawson, who has organized multiple \u003ca href=\"https://www.presstelegram.com/2018/09/12/heres-how-one-riverside-county-mom-is-trying-to-improve-safety-across-the-cal-state-university-system-in-the-wake-of-her-sons-murder/\">vigils and rallies\u003c/a>, and has taken her son’s case to the California State University Board, spent the year and a half marker of her son’s death working. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m working to keep my mind occupied, and not dwell,” she said. “I work in the healthcare field, and I felt like my job was to help others today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My son was a giver, and wanted to give back to those less fortunate,” she said. “And I wanted to do that today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawson said she is grateful that so many students from CSUs across the state have picked up the mantle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My heart is filled with joy, and I’m so proud that the students and faculty and staff, just, you know, want to do so much to bring justice for our family, and for my son,\" she said. \"So many people who are rallying did not know him. Everyone that is rallying, and showing their support did not know him.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco State University student Akaelah Flotho did not know David Josiah Lawson. At the time he was killed, she was a student at a community college close to Humboldt State, The College of the Redwoods. Flotho said even before Lawson’s death, the animosity towards students of color in the area was palpable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was napping on the bus after like, a 12 hour day, and I was woken up, to my chair being jolted,” she said. She heard someone shout the N-word at her, and then they threw a metal object.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said she didn’t go to school for a week after that happened. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was way too anxious [to take public transportation],\" she said. “I’m still very scared.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flotho said that anxiety stays with her. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I remember breaking down and saying [to myself], some — a white local — could just off me, and I could never make it out of Humboldt County.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was before Lawson was killed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A month later, I heard about Josiah, and I just had that, yeah, this is what students of color are talking about,” said Flotho.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flotho said, “students of color were already calling for HSU to stop recruiting students of color there, because almost the entire population of students of color, did not feel safe up there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Flotho pointed to school pamphlets that featured diverse faces, and said they overrepresented the black population of Humboldt State Campus, without any warnings of the racism they could encounter from local residents when they get there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many students applaud the efforts of CSU to create more diverse student bodies, but they added a warning. The bodies that carry the work and weight of diversification are not those of school administrators, they are the actual bodies of students of color. And if they are not safe, they asked, then who is all this diversity for?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The buzzing fears of students of color in Arcata have now grown to a fever pitch.

She lived right across the street from where Lawson was killed, but she wasn’t at the party that night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I woke up that morning to texts and missed calls, asking if I was alright. They heard of the murder of a black student, and there’s very few of us up there,” Flotho told the crowd.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some members of the San Francisco State Black Student Union only found out about what happened to Lawson this summer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As black students, were very well aware of our historical legacy on college campuses throughout the state of California and throughout America,” said Damion Square, an SFSU student and Black Student Union leader. “Our bodies, our spirits, our personalities, have never been respected. And we're still fighting for the dignity and the right to exist. Josiah was a part of the struggle.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“CSUs are unsafe for black students right now,” Square said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is not just physical violence, he added, pointing to housing and economic insecurity as factors, which threaten black students' ability to attend college. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Square is a senior, double majoring in Africana Studies and Media Research, but he can’t afford to live near campus. He lives in Santa Rosa, making the hour and a half commute each way, four days a week. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m working two jobs to feed myself, and I’m doing it all on my own at a college where black students originally founded the College of Ethnic Studies, and the first \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/The-Black-Student-Union-at-SFSU-started-it-all-3274175.php\">Black Student Union\u003c/a> was started here,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the intervening 40 years, he said, there has been progress, but it has been minimal. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're still fighting for those basic rights, that we should have as students,\" Square said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing isn’t just an issue for students in the expensive Bay Area. Flotho said it was a problem for students of color in Arcata, too. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trying to find housing, landlords who will rent to you, it’s all a very hostile experience,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Square and Flotho know, even those vital details pale in comparison to physical safety and what happened to Lawson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We face warfare, every time we step outside our door,” said Simone Jones, a senior at SFSU and a Black Student Union coordinator. She said Lawson’s death is a wake-up call. “This should be a message to black students across the CSUs,” she said. “We really need to come together, now more than ever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office of California State University Chancellor Timothy White said he is actively pushing for a resolution to the case. He was in Arcata recently, meeting with \u003ca href=\"https://www.times-standard.com/2018/10/09/new-hsu-president-to-start-next-july-csu-chancellor-says/\">local police\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charmaine Lawson will join other CSU student protests this week, keeping the memory of her son alive and demanding justice in his name.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m reaching out to the students, to talk about safety, and to talk to about DJ,” she said. “I know it’s exhausting, and it’s tiring and it’s frustrating because it’s been so long, but we are almost there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawson is heartened by the work of the interim Arcata police chief, Richard Ehle, on her son’s case. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The investigators that he has now working the case, they really had to go back, they really had to start from scratch,” she said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the first time, she is hopeful her son’s killing will not remain unsolved.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“DJ was kind, he was generous, he was compassionate, he loved life,” she said. “I mean he has a smile that would light up a room.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s difficult to talk about him in the past, because, he was only 19 years old,” she said, her voice cracking. “One of his dreams was to be an attorney, he wanted to enter into politics.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I find myself now, getting involved in the politics side,” she said. “I’m picking up his torch.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, so are students across the CSU system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

This is marijuana country, known for an open, liberal culture of hippies and high times. It is also a very white part of California. Arcata is around 80 percent white, and many in the community say local residents are less than welcoming to students of color, like Lawson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been a year and a half since Lawson was killed, and his death remains unsolved. But this week, new light is being cast on Lawson’s case, across California State University campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At San Francisco State University’s Malcolm X Plaza on Monday, a group of students stood on a stage, behind them, yellow police caution tape and a banner that read “Justice for Josiah.” Underneath it, was a list of names of students who had been killed while attending CSUs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list of names included Cory Clark, another black Humboldt State student who was killed in the nearby town of Eureka in 2001. In a bitter twist, Lawson was the head of \u003ca href=\"https://thelumberjack.org/2017/04/26/humboldts-hidden-hate/\">Brothers United\u003c/a>, a group of students at HSU that formed after Clark’s unsolved murder to support young black men on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fact that people are still — some for the first time — talking about Lawson’s death, is due in large part to his mother, Charmaine Lawson. She’s been tirelessly campaigning to bring attention to his killing, and to ask for justice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11699260\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/10/IMG_2922-e1539713488852-800x1067.jpg\" alt=\"Charmaine Lawson, David Josiah Lawson's mother, speaks at a rally at Humboldt State University.\" width=\"800\" height=\"1067\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11699260\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Charmaine Lawson, David Josiah Lawson's mother, speaks at a rally at Humboldt State University. \u003ccite>(Polly Stryker/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Charmaine Lawson, who has organized multiple \u003ca href=\"https://www.presstelegram.com/2018/09/12/heres-how-one-riverside-county-mom-is-trying-to-improve-safety-across-the-cal-state-university-system-in-the-wake-of-her-sons-murder/\">vigils and rallies\u003c/a>, and has taken her son’s case to the California State University Board, spent the year and a half marker of her son’s death working. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m working to keep my mind occupied, and not dwell,” she said. “I work in the healthcare field, and I felt like my job was to help others today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My son was a giver, and wanted to give back to those less fortunate,” she said. “And I wanted to do that today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawson said she is grateful that so many students from CSUs across the state have picked up the mantle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My heart is filled with joy, and I’m so proud that the students and faculty and staff, just, you know, want to do so much to bring justice for our family, and for my son,\" she said. \"So many people who are rallying did not know him.

And we're still fighting for the dignity and the right to exist. Josiah was a part of the struggle.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“CSUs are unsafe for black students right now,” Square said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It is not just physical violence, he added, pointing to housing and economic insecurity as factors, which threaten black students' ability to attend college. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Square is a senior, double majoring in Africana Studies and Media Research, but he can’t afford to live near campus.

She said Lawson’s death is a wake-up call. “This should be a message to black students across the CSUs,” she said. “We really need to come together, now more than ever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The office of California State University Chancellor Timothy White said he is actively pushing for a resolution to the case.

"content": "\u003cp>During the fall semester of 1968, the Black Student Union at what was then called San Francisco State College presented a list of 10 “non-negotiable” demands to administrators, focusing on the creation of a black studies department and increasing black access to the university. College officials did not grant the demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the BSU, along with other student groups organized as the Third World Liberation Front, launched what would become the longest campus strike in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 115-day strike, lasting into late March 1969, led to repeated clashes between students and the hundreds of police officers summoned to campus to impose order. More than 700 students were arrested and scores injured during the strike’s first two months. The standoff led to headline-grabbing confrontations between students on one side and Gov. Ronald Reagan and S.F. State’s acting president on the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the strike resulted in the creation of San Francisco State’s College of Ethnic Studies, and touched off a nationwide movement to increase minority access and representation on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://vimeo.com/119820421\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the 50th anniversary of the 1968 student strike, a new documentary film, \u003ca href=\"http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\"Agents of\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Change,\"\u003c/a> looks back at this defining moment in U.S. history where civil rights, black power and anti-war movements converged to explore the pivotal role that black student activists played in reforming the American university system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News spoke with \u003ca href=\"http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/producers/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">filmmakers Frank Dawson and Abby Ginzberg\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>KQED: The 50th anniversary is a nice round number. But looking back at the San Francisco State student strike feels particularly relevant today. Why is it important to look back at these events now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Dawson: We are at a critical time in our nation’s history. How we respond is clearly a defining moment. Students have power, but that power is meaningless unless it is exercised in a thoughtful, inclusive, selfless manner. Looking back, there are countless examples from the civil rights and Black Power movements in which students on college campuses across the country risked their educations, future employment and lives for causes they fiercely believed in. Their stories have barely been told, and knowing more about these stories is empowering to students today. Students can effect change, and during the past year as we have shared our film on numerous campuses, Abby and I have seen firsthand how important these historic stories can be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abby Ginzberg: It is important to reflect on the little-known history that gave rise to the creation of black and ethnic studies programs across the country in the late 1960s because many of these programs have come under attack or are being weakened through the withdrawal of funding. The most poignant example occurred at S.F. State in 2016 when the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/24/s-f-states-historic-ethnic-studies-college-may-have-to-cut-courses-faculty/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">College of Ethnic Studies was facing cuts\u003c/a> that would have resulted in the loss of two faculty positions. What was most inspiring is there was an outcry from the student body, across all disciplines and not solely from ethnic studies majors, that demonstrated how important this program was to everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protests were successful and the cuts were not implemented. It was obvious to me at the time that the importance of the program had burrowed deep into the DNA of the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The S.F. State events of 1968-69 are just part of your film. You also tell the story of protests on the Cornell University campus, where you both were. Give us a brief overview of what unfolded at Cornell and how those events were tied to the S.F. State protests.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dawson: James Perkins came to Cornell as president in the early 1960s and was appalled by the minuscule number of black students at the Ithaca campus. To remedy that low enrollment, he established the Committee On Special Educational Projects (COSEP), with a responsibility to identify and enroll Negro and other ethnically underrepresented students whose secondary school performance and entrance exam scores indicated the potential for success at Cornell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1968, that population of students included an increasing number of students from densely populated urban areas who had experienced or witnessed urban rebellion in their decaying inner-city streets and were committed to insuring that their own education would benefit their communities. Black students at Cornell increased their demands to include the establishment of a Black Studies Program, which mirrored what was happening at S.F. State and more than 1,000 college campuses across the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was it like being on campus in the middle of what turned out to be such historic times? Did it have any lasting impacts on your lives or careers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: At the time, it was not obvious we were part of a historical movement. It was just a turbulent time in America and we knew we needed to raise our voices. I was part of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) when I was a student at Cornell and was involved in the anti-war movement, as well as part of the support group for the black students before, during and after the building takeover. My commitment to fighting for justice came into focus during my time at Cornell and has influenced me throughout the rest of my life. First as a lawyer in San Francisco and then as a \u003ca href=\"http://filmsforjustice.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documentary filmmaker for the past 30-plus years\u003c/a>, my work has been devoted to issues of race and social justice. I have tried to tell stories about unsung heroes such as federal judge Thelton Henderson, the first African-American lawyer in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Justice Department; Cruz Reynoso, the first Latino appointed to the California Supreme Court, and South African anti-apartheid activist and Constitutional Court judge, Albie Sachs. These films have all aired on KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The title of the film, “Agents of Change,” captures the idea of citizens becoming politically and civically engaged. Do you see any similarities between the turbulent times of the '60s and contemporary movements like Black Lives Matter, Resistance, Women’s March, etc?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: We are seeing renewed activism at this moment and we all have the potential to be \"agents of change.\" It is heartening to see so many young people in the streets, speaking out against anti-black, anti-women and anti-immigrant sentiments. Each generation has to find their own way of making themselves heard, and today we are seeing a resurgence of activism that is heartwarming to the those of us who have remained fighters for social change since we were in our early 20s. We hope the film will inspire people to see themselves as agents of change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the biggest lesson that can be learned from the campus civil rights protests 50 years later? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: The main lesson, I believe, is to not take any of these successes for granted and to understand that each generation may have to fight for these gains all over again. Black and ethnic studies programs are now taken for granted by many students on campuses around the country. Learning that they were forged in struggle by students, not only at S.F. State and Cornell but at over 1,000 campuses in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is critical to efforts to preserve them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another part of the S.F. State legacy is that in spite of the intervening 50 years, racism is still present on college campuses. Inclusion is still a distant goal, and many campuses are experiencing some of the same issues that led to the protests at S,F. State and Cornell. So in a word, we still have a long way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.agentsofchangefilm.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Agents of Change\u003c/a> will be broadcast as part of \u003ca href=\"http://worldchannel.org/programs/episode/arf-s6-603-agents-change/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">America ReFramed\u003c/a> on Tuesday, Feb. 20, airing on KQED at 5 p.m. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

College officials did not grant the demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the BSU, along with other student groups organized as the Third World Liberation Front, launched what would become the longest campus strike in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 115-day strike, lasting into late March 1969, led to repeated clashes between students and the hundreds of police officers summoned to campus to impose order. More than 700 students were arrested and scores injured during the strike’s first two months. The standoff led to headline-grabbing confrontations between students on one side and Gov. Ronald Reagan and S.F. State’s acting president on the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the end, the strike resulted in the creation of San Francisco State’s College of Ethnic Studies, and touched off a nationwide movement to increase minority access and representation on college campuses.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But looking back at the San Francisco State student strike feels particularly relevant today. Why is it important to look back at these events now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Frank Dawson: We are at a critical time in our nation’s history. How we respond is clearly a defining moment. Students have power, but that power is meaningless unless it is exercised in a thoughtful, inclusive, selfless manner. Looking back, there are countless examples from the civil rights and Black Power movements in which students on college campuses across the country risked their educations, future employment and lives for causes they fiercely believed in. Their stories have barely been told, and knowing more about these stories is empowering to students today. Students can effect change, and during the past year as we have shared our film on numerous campuses, Abby and I have seen firsthand how important these historic stories can be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Abby Ginzberg: It is important to reflect on the little-known history that gave rise to the creation of black and ethnic studies programs across the country in the late 1960s because many of these programs have come under attack or are being weakened through the withdrawal of funding. The most poignant example occurred at S.F. State in 2016 when the \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/24/s-f-states-historic-ethnic-studies-college-may-have-to-cut-courses-faculty/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">College of Ethnic Studies was facing cuts\u003c/a> that would have resulted in the loss of two faculty positions. What was most inspiring is there was an outcry from the student body, across all disciplines and not solely from ethnic studies majors, that demonstrated how important this program was to everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protests were successful and the cuts were not implemented. It was obvious to me at the time that the importance of the program had burrowed deep into the DNA of the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The S.F. State events of 1968-69 are just part of your film. You also tell the story of protests on the Cornell University campus, where you both were. Give us a brief overview of what unfolded at Cornell and how those events were tied to the S.F. State protests.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dawson: James Perkins came to Cornell as president in the early 1960s and was appalled by the minuscule number of black students at the Ithaca campus. To remedy that low enrollment, he established the Committee On Special Educational Projects (COSEP), with a responsibility to identify and enroll Negro and other ethnically underrepresented students whose secondary school performance and entrance exam scores indicated the potential for success at Cornell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By 1968, that population of students included an increasing number of students from densely populated urban areas who had experienced or witnessed urban rebellion in their decaying inner-city streets and were committed to insuring that their own education would benefit their communities. Black students at Cornell increased their demands to include the establishment of a Black Studies Program, which mirrored what was happening at S.F. State and more than 1,000 college campuses across the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What was it like being on campus in the middle of what turned out to be such historic times? Did it have any lasting impacts on your lives or careers?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: At the time, it was not obvious we were part of a historical movement. It was just a turbulent time in America and we knew we needed to raise our voices. I was part of SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) when I was a student at Cornell and was involved in the anti-war movement, as well as part of the support group for the black students before, during and after the building takeover. My commitment to fighting for justice came into focus during my time at Cornell and has influenced me throughout the rest of my life. First as a lawyer in San Francisco and then as a \u003ca href=\"http://filmsforjustice.net/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">documentary filmmaker for the past 30-plus years\u003c/a>, my work has been devoted to issues of race and social justice. I have tried to tell stories about unsung heroes such as federal judge Thelton Henderson, the first African-American lawyer in the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Justice Department; Cruz Reynoso, the first Latino appointed to the California Supreme Court, and South African anti-apartheid activist and Constitutional Court judge, Albie Sachs. These films have all aired on KQED.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The title of the film, “Agents of Change,” captures the idea of citizens becoming politically and civically engaged. Do you see any similarities between the turbulent times of the '60s and contemporary movements like Black Lives Matter, Resistance, Women’s March, etc?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: We are seeing renewed activism at this moment and we all have the potential to be \"agents of change.\" It is heartening to see so many young people in the streets, speaking out against anti-black, anti-women and anti-immigrant sentiments. Each generation has to find their own way of making themselves heard, and today we are seeing a resurgence of activism that is heartwarming to the those of us who have remained fighters for social change since we were in our early 20s. We hope the film will inspire people to see themselves as agents of change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is the biggest lesson that can be learned from the campus civil rights protests 50 years later? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ginzberg: The main lesson, I believe, is to not take any of these successes for granted and to understand that each generation may have to fight for these gains all over again. Black and ethnic studies programs are now taken for granted by many students on campuses around the country. Learning that they were forged in struggle by students, not only at S.F. State and Cornell but at over 1,000 campuses in the late 1960s and early 1970s, is critical to efforts to preserve them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another part of the S.F. State legacy is that in spite of the intervening 50 years, racism is still present on college campuses. Inclusion is still a distant goal, and many campuses are experiencing some of the same issues that led to the protests at S,F. State and Cornell. So in a word, we still have a long way to go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
