Small gatherings can be held in a wider variety of settings, but events held at these locations with over 100 participants, loud sound, marching or running, or a high-profile speaker will be subject to new Major Event Protocol, which requires permission from the Office of Student Engagement or registration by a faculty or staff member. The site says permission won’t be denied based on the “viewpoint of speakers or participants,” but organizers must follow registration rules and work with campus authorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>New policy also tightens rules on recording and taking photos of lectures and official course-related activities and limits allowed photos for personal use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Widespread recording may chill open discussion within classrooms when students are faced with the possibility of a comment made in class ‘going viral’ on social media,” the policy reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A second website linked in the provosts’ email also introduces a new Title VI process for students to report discrimination, replacing the university’s Protected Identity Harm Reporting (PIHR) protocol. It includes an early screen for reports involving speech protected by federal or state law, a structure for providing updates on existing claims and a dashboard for reporting incidents to the community, according to the message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders say the new process is in response to concerns with PIHR, including confusion about its purpose, the timeline for following up on submitted reports and “long-standing concerns about the potential for the PIHR process to chill freedom of expression.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new system is formed around Title VI, which prohibits institutions receiving federal funding from discriminating on the basis of race, while the previous focused on “protected identity harm,” which the email calls “vague.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the guidance is “interim,” administrators said in the email sent to students on Tuesday, and some policies will continue to be evaluated over the next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams said that how students respond largely depends on how the policy changes affect their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s just a matter of being able to experience it first and see how they’re going to play into action,” they told KQED. “Student reaction could largely vary.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

While \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent\">the incidence of on-campus shootings is extremely low\u003c/a>, they’re something many teachers and parents have prepared for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most helpful thing for parents to share with their kids is that these events are rare and that adults are there to protect them,” said Stephen Brock, professor of psychology at CSU Sacramento. “We can’t deny the reality of these things, but kids need to be reassured with these facts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some kids find out about the news by seeing it themselves or hearing it discussed at school, at home or in their communities. Young children can especially be harmed by this exposure, so experts recommend restricting their access to traumatic news. Kids old enough to have smartphones will likely get misinformation on the internet and social media, so it’s even more important for parents and caregivers to support their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some key steps parents and caregivers can take:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Remind kids that they are safe\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Children need to be reassured by their caregivers that they are safe. \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/helpcenter/talking-to-children\">The American Psychological Association says, above all, reassure\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ … reassure your children that you will do everything you know how to do to keep them safe and to watch out for them. Reassure them that you will be available to answer any questions or talk about this topic again in the future. Reassure them that they are loved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Limit young children’s exposure to traumatic news\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Young children have less developed skills to separate facts from fears, so psychologists recommend minimizing a child’s exposure to traumatic news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When kids see the news, even if they are not a resident of [the affected place], they have the mistaken perception that they could be shot at any time,” said Brock. “For little ones, turn [the news] off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sometimes, that fear is transferred to children through adult behavior. If adults are behaving in an anxious or fearful manner, kids will pick up on that, especially those in primary grades and younger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kids will look to adults to see how scared they should be,” said Brock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Observe your kids for verbal and nonverbal cues\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A parent might overhear a child talking about a traumatic news event, or the child might ask about it. If it looks like the child is curious, engage the child in conversation, said Brock, adding, “Let their questions be your guide.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But not all kids can verbalize what they’re feeling, so look for changes in behavior.

While \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent\">the incidence of on-campus shootings is extremely low\u003c/a>, they’re something many teachers and parents have prepared for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The most helpful thing for parents to share with their kids is that these events are rare and that adults are there to protect them,” said Stephen Brock, professor of psychology at CSU Sacramento. “We can’t deny the reality of these things, but kids need to be reassured with these facts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some kids find out about the news by seeing it themselves or hearing it discussed at school, at home or in their communities. Young children can especially be harmed by this exposure, so experts recommend restricting their access to traumatic news. Kids old enough to have smartphones will likely get misinformation on the internet and social media, so it’s even more important for parents and caregivers to support their kids.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some key steps parents and caregivers can take:\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Remind kids that they are safe\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Children need to be reassured by their caregivers that they are safe. \u003ca href=\"https://www.apa.org/helpcenter/talking-to-children\">The American Psychological Association says, above all, reassure\u003c/a>:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“ … reassure your children that you will do everything you know how to do to keep them safe and to watch out for them. Reassure them that you will be available to answer any questions or talk about this topic again in the future. Reassure them that they are loved.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Limit young children’s exposure to traumatic news\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Young children have less developed skills to separate facts from fears, so psychologists recommend minimizing a child’s exposure to traumatic news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When kids see the news, even if they are not a resident of [the affected place], they have the mistaken perception that they could be shot at any time,” said Brock. “For little ones, turn [the news] off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And sometimes, that fear is transferred to children through adult behavior. If adults are behaving in an anxious or fearful manner, kids will pick up on that, especially those in primary grades and younger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Kids will look to adults to see how scared they should be,” said Brock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But it’s unclear whether the governor’s action will deter voters from going further and passing Proposition 36, which would increase sentences for theft and drug crimes by rolling back pieces of Proposition 47, a criminal justice reform measure passed by voters a decade ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Friday, Newsom launched the opening salvo in the campaign, arguing that Proposition 36 “takes us back to the 1980s, the war on drugs, mass incarceration.

I wouldn’t want to be on their side of this,” Newsom added. “It’s such a devastating setback in this state; the impact on poor folks, the impact on Black and brown communities, it’s next level — and it doesn’t address what they’re saying.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom signed 10 bills inside a Home Depot in San José, where he criticized the city’s mayor, Matt Mahan, who has emerged as a leading supporter of Proposition 36.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 has gained recent momentum, with a new poll from UC Berkeley’s Institute for Governmental Studies showing that 56% of likely voters support the measure.

Newsom signed bills to place sentencing enhancements on large theft operations and extend the life of a regional property crimes task force.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[aside postID=news_11990587 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GettyImages-1498501086-1020x679.jpg']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“All of these things in this package [are] going to help retailers, law enforcement and district attorneys be able to provide the consequences for the behaviors that we need to make sure that people don’t continue doing this behavior,” said Rachel Michelin, president and CEO of the California Retailers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Proposition 36 argue that stricter punishments are necessary to prevent shoplifting and drug crimes — and to compel drug users into treatment. Participation in drug courts, which require treatment in exchange for reduced punishment, has dropped significantly since the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">passage of Proposition 47\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 would require Californians convicted multiple times of drug possession to complete treatment to potentially avoid prison time. It would also punish shoplifting based on the frequency of the crime, rather than the value of the stolen goods. Under the measure, a third theft offense could be punishable with a felony, regardless of what was stolen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“State leaders have had years to address California’s crime and drug crises, yet little has been done to tackle the root causes,” a spokesperson for the Yes on Proposition 36 campaign said in a statement. “These newly passed legislative bills are half measures, failing to address the fundamental issues of habitual repeat theft, the fentanyl epidemic, and the ongoing homelessness crisis, which remains unaddressed due to the lack of strong incentives for drug treatment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the high-profile proposals signed by Newsom won bipartisan support in the state Legislature. But the path to the governor’s desk wasn’t simple. In an attempt to blunt support for Proposition 36 and keep it off the ballot, Newsom and legislative leaders inserted language into the retail theft bills that would have nullified them if the ballot measure passed. The governor also worked to craft a competing public safety ballot measure, but could not secure legislative support before the ballot deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the architects of Proposition 36 held firm in their push to place the initiative on the ballot, the poison pill language was removed from the legislative package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Participation in drug courts, which require treatment in exchange for reduced punishment, has dropped significantly since the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11975692/prop-47s-impact-on-californias-criminal-justice-system\">passage of Proposition 47\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proposition 36 would require Californians convicted multiple times of drug possession to complete treatment to potentially avoid prison time. It would also punish shoplifting based on the frequency of the crime, rather than the value of the stolen goods. Under the measure, a third theft offense could be punishable with a felony, regardless of what was stolen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“State leaders have had years to address California’s crime and drug crises, yet little has been done to tackle the root causes,” a spokesperson for the Yes on Proposition 36 campaign said in a statement. “These newly passed legislative bills are half measures, failing to address the fundamental issues of habitual repeat theft, the fentanyl epidemic, and the ongoing homelessness crisis, which remains unaddressed due to the lack of strong incentives for drug treatment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the high-profile proposals signed by Newsom won bipartisan support in the state Legislature. But the path to the governor’s desk wasn’t simple. In an attempt to blunt support for Proposition 36 and keep it off the ballot, Newsom and legislative leaders inserted language into the retail theft bills that would have nullified them if the ballot measure passed. The governor also worked to craft a competing public safety ballot measure, but could not secure legislative support before the ballot deadline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the architects of Proposition 36 held firm in their push to place the initiative on the ballot, the poison pill language was removed from the legislative package.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It’s about our San José story and an American story,” Kamei said from the dais, speaking through tears about the internment orders decades ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really tried not to get emotional, but this is hard because we have many (Asian American and Pacific Islander) communities that have been erased, and we have a chance to do something about this,” Kamei said. “It’s about having the will to preserve a vital piece of history that we can share with future generations …there will be something there, for what was once there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The other path the council asked staff to explore would see the home relocated about 10 miles south to History Park, a local nonprofit-run space with a growing collection of original and replica homes, businesses, and once prominent landmarks laid out across a miniature city-like grid to reflect the region’s past.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Neither option is guaranteed to result in the home being saved, and would depend on hundreds of thousands of dollars of funding that could come from the city, nonprofits, residents or other sources to help pay for the relocation and restoration of the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City parks officials will come back to the council in the coming months with an evaluation of the two options, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='More South Bay Coverage' tag='south-bay']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The possibility of relocating the home to History Park gained support from Carolyn Sakauye and Jane May, who are the daughters of Eiichi Sakauye and own the land. The sisters’ attorney, Sam Farb, previously wrote to city officials to say they didn’t feel their father’s home was worth saving, but that view has apparently shifted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farb, at the meeting on Tuesday, said the sisters “would strongly be in favor of trying to preserve the family farmhouse offsite,” such as History Park. Carolyn Sakauye and Jane May previously declined to be interviewed by KQED for a story about the land, citing advice from their attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City parks officials also raised concerns about the ongoing funding needed to maintain another historical home in a public park, which the city already struggles to do at some other sites. The council just last week \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999166/tax-to-fix-san-joses-dilapidated-parks-wont-appear-on-november-ballot\">scrapped plans\u003c/a> to put a tax measure on the ballot to address a parks maintenance backlog of over $450 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanover, for its part, has said it will pay $100,000 to help cover some relocation costs if the city or other organizations can secure a place for the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Bien Doan suggested that Hanover should consider offering “at least double” that amount to help with the preservation effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a minimal investment for the history of the Japanese Americans right here in the city of San José,” Doan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other council members suggested that more should be done than putting up plaques or storyboards, but the council did not go as far as to require the developer to preserve the home on the site where it currently sits. No part of the council’s approval of the development is contingent on the ultimate outcome for the historic home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Peter Ortiz questioned Scott Youdall, a development partner at Hanover, about how much engagement and outreach the company did to the Japanese American community when the development process began. Youdall said the company only consulted with the Sakauye family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which does to me send a message that wasn’t front and center of your guys’ minds,” Ortiz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rod Diridon Sr., a longtime former city council member, county supervisor and member of regional boards for transportation, told the council on Tuesday that he supports preserving the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a beautiful project, and I hope you do approve it. But you’ve got to save the house,” Diridon said. He mentioned that History Park had recent success taking on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/05/21/155-year-old-coyote-train-depot-takes-a-road-trip-to-san-jose/\">historic train depot building\u003c/a>, which was donated to the park, and a county grant helped cover relocation costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s got to be a way to protect that house and to do all the things necessary to remind the world what this family went through and what they provided — after they went through it — to society,” Diridon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking about the generosity of Eiichi Sakauye, Diridon said, “It makes me have goose pimples thinking about how wonderful that quiet, quiet gentleman was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The council just last week \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11999166/tax-to-fix-san-joses-dilapidated-parks-wont-appear-on-november-ballot\">scrapped plans\u003c/a> to put a tax measure on the ballot to address a parks maintenance backlog of over $450 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanover, for its part, has said it will pay $100,000 to help cover some relocation costs if the city or other organizations can secure a place for the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Bien Doan suggested that Hanover should consider offering “at least double” that amount to help with the preservation effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s a minimal investment for the history of the Japanese Americans right here in the city of San José,” Doan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other council members suggested that more should be done than putting up plaques or storyboards, but the council did not go as far as to require the developer to preserve the home on the site where it currently sits. No part of the council’s approval of the development is contingent on the ultimate outcome for the historic home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilmember Peter Ortiz questioned Scott Youdall, a development partner at Hanover, about how much engagement and outreach the company did to the Japanese American community when the development process began. Youdall said the company only consulted with the Sakauye family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Which does to me send a message that wasn’t front and center of your guys’ minds,” Ortiz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rod Diridon Sr., a longtime former city council member, county supervisor and member of regional boards for transportation, told the council on Tuesday that he supports preserving the home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is a beautiful project, and I hope you do approve it. But you’ve got to save the house,” Diridon said. He mentioned that History Park had recent success taking on a \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2024/05/21/155-year-old-coyote-train-depot-takes-a-road-trip-to-san-jose/\">historic train depot building\u003c/a>, which was donated to the park, and a county grant helped cover relocation costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s got to be a way to protect that house and to do all the things necessary to remind the world what this family went through and what they provided — after they went through it — to society,” Diridon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking about the generosity of Eiichi Sakauye, Diridon said, “It makes me have goose pimples thinking about how wonderful that quiet, quiet gentleman was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>Despite months of discussion, the San José City Council on Tuesday scrapped plans for a tax measure on the November ballot to fund park maintenance after city polling showed it was unlikely to muster the necessary support from voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the city facing a parks maintenance backlog of over $450 million, council members instead opted to reevaluate the idea ahead of the 2026 election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In underfunded park districts like mine in Eastside San José, the quality of the park is the difference between it being a gang hotspot or it being used by families and young children,” Councilmember Peter Ortiz said. “That being said, I can see the writing on the wall and recognize that today or this election cycle may not be the best time to put this on the ballot.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Council members acknowledged hearing a steady stream of complaints from residents about dilapidated playgrounds, patchy grass turf and graffitied structures. Still, they voted unanimously to delay consideration of a plan to pay for the fixes, citing the difficulty of securing the required support from two-thirds of voters to pass a new parcel tax on property owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Early polling proved discouraging: In July, 1,200 likely voters in the city were asked about tax ideas, including a $35 flat tax per property and a 1/2 cent levy per square foot levy. The measure would have raised roughly $21 million annually to clean trails and recreational facilities and clear homeless encampments in parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty-nine percent of likely voters said they would support the tax. When voters were read arguments for and against the measure, support slipped to 52%. Typically, support for tax measures declines over the course of an election — rendering the parks tax idea dead on arrival.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11999204\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11999204\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1328\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-800x531.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1020x677.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-160x106.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1536x1020.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/08/3459312372_50a97f1138_o_qed-1920x1275.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A man walks his dogs past the Veterans Memorial near Guadalupe River Park in downtown San José. \u003ccite>(Don DeBold/Flickr)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t appear that there is a whole lot of room for arguments in support to make progress with voters,” said Peter Hamilton, assistant to the city manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The parks tax would have appeared on a November ballot already crowded with spending measures.

Still, they voted unanimously to delay consideration of a plan to pay for the fixes, citing the difficulty of securing the required support from two-thirds of voters to pass a new parcel tax on property owners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The measure would have raised roughly $21 million annually to clean trails and recreational facilities and clear homeless encampments in parks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fifty-nine percent of likely voters said they would support the tax. When voters were read arguments for and against the measure, support slipped to 52%.
