As \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Central Valley Bureau Chief based in Fresno for nearly a dozen years, Sasha brought the lives and concerns of rural Californians to listeners around the state. Her reporting helped expose the hidden price immigrant women janitors and farmworkers may pay to keep their jobs: sexual assault at work. It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R. Murrow and a national PRNDI award for investigative reporting, as well as multiple prizes from the Society for Professional Journalists. Sasha is a proud alum of the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism and Brown University and a member of the South Asian Journalists Association.",

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.",

One of the requirements that the Department of Education has is, they want to know for each major and each university, how many students graduated with loans and how much the average loan was for those students. When you can bring all of that together and look at the Bay Area, Stanford actually has the lowest average for their students. They also have very few students who take out loans, which is kind of part of this process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL:\u003c/strong> And how much are we talking about? What kind of loan debt are these students leaving with on average?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: On average they’re leaving with about $14,000. UC Berkeley is the next closest one. The CSUs, San Francisco State, San Jose State, CSU East Bay, are pretty close — they range from about $15,000 to about $17,000 on average. So not a massive difference, but $3,000 can go a long way before or after college, and that’s [just] the average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And so, is this simply a case of private schools being able to give out more financial aid, outweighing their often higher attendance costs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: Absolutely. That’s a huge part of it. Stanford has a $26.5 billion endowment. So that gives them a lot of latitude to subsidize a lot of their students. They also have a lot of students who don’t need any financial aid, who are able to pay out of pocket. A CSU might serve a more lower-income, broader base of students. So [Stanford] has the resources, they have the donors, they have that infrastructure to give it a lot more money than a state school does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: Now, you look specifically at federal student loan debt. Is there any way to know if this conclusion holds true when you factor in private loans?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: What we found is that it is pretty close. About $20,000 is the average for the most recent graduating class [at Stanford], and that’s about the same as the CSUs. It is much lower than most other private schools where the average, including non-federally subsidized private loans, is about $25,000 to $27,000. So even if you take into account those non-federal loans, it is still very, very low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And has this always been the case at Stanford?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: This is actually a conscious decision that Stanford made for the 2008-09 school year, where they said, “OK, let’s reimagine how we present this package. Let’s take loans out of the equation. How much can parents pay? We’ll cover the rest.” So since then, they’ve seen about two-thirds of their students graduate without any loans at all. That number is down to about 19 percent. And the average has stayed about flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The CSUs, San Francisco State, San Jose State, CSU East Bay, are pretty close — they range from about $15,000 to about $17,000 on average. So not a massive difference, but $3,000 can go a long way before or after college, and that’s [just] the average.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And so, is this simply a case of private schools being able to give out more financial aid, outweighing their often higher attendance costs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: Absolutely. That’s a huge part of it. Stanford has a $26.5 billion endowment. So that gives them a lot of latitude to subsidize a lot of their students. They also have a lot of students who don’t need any financial aid, who are able to pay out of pocket. A CSU might serve a more lower-income, broader base of students. So [Stanford] has the resources, they have the donors, they have that infrastructure to give it a lot more money than a state school does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: Now, you look specifically at federal student loan debt. Is there any way to know if this conclusion holds true when you factor in private loans?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: What we found is that it is pretty close. About $20,000 is the average for the most recent graduating class [at Stanford], and that’s about the same as the CSUs. It is much lower than most other private schools where the average, including non-federally subsidized private loans, is about $25,000 to $27,000. So even if you take into account those non-federal loans, it is still very, very low.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>RL\u003c/strong>: And has this always been the case at Stanford?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>LC\u003c/strong>: This is actually a conscious decision that Stanford made for the 2008-09 school year, where they said, “OK, let’s reimagine how we present this package. Let’s take loans out of the equation. How much can parents pay? We’ll cover the rest.” So since then, they’ve seen about two-thirds of their students graduate without any loans at all. That number is down to about 19 percent. And the average has stayed about flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In the print age, university library shelves were lined with journals, available for any researcher or – in the case of public universities like the University of California – any member of the public to peruse and learn from.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, for almost all journals, and a growing number of books, libraries sign contracts to license access to digital versions. Since academic publishers moved their journals online, it has become rare for libraries to subscribe to printed journals, and researchers have adapted to the convenience of accessing journal articles on the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new business model of licensing access to journals online rather than distributing them in print, for-profit publishers often lock libraries into bundled subscriptions that wrap the majority of a publisher’s portfolio of journals – \u003ca href=\"https://www.elsevier.com/books-and-journals\">almost 3,000 in Elsevier’s case\u003c/a> – into a single, multimillion dollar package. Rather than storing back issues on shelves, libraries can lose permanent access to journals when a contract expires. And members of the public can no longer read the library’s copy of a journal because the licenses are limited to members of the university. Now the public must buy online copies of academic articles for an average of $35 to $40 a pop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right']‘Under the new business model of licensing access to journals online rather than distributing them in print, for-profit publishers often lock libraries into bundled subscriptions that wrap the majority of a publisher’s portfolio of journals – almost 3,000 in Elsevier’s case – into a single, multimillion dollar package.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shift to digital has been good for researchers in many ways. It is far more convenient to search for articles online, and easier to access and download a copy – provided you work for an institution with a paid subscription. Modern software makes organizing and annotating them simpler, too. With all of these benefits, no one would advocate for going back to the old days of print journals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online access to journals did not improve the picture overall. Despite digital copies of articles costing nothing to duplicate and the cost of producing an article online being lower than in the past, the cost to libraries of licensing access to them has continued to experience \u003ca href=\"https://www.arl.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/5yr_ongoing-resource-expenditures_by_type.pdf\">hyperinflation\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/academic-journal-publishing-is-headed-for-a-day-of-reckoning-80869\">No library\u003c/a> can afford to license all the journals its faculty and students want access to, and many researchers around the world are shut out completely. Compounding the problem, \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0127502\">consolidation in the scholarly publishing market\u003c/a> has reduced competition significantly, causing even more price inflexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Excessive Profits?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Academic publishers certainly bear costs. They pay for professional editors and programmers, they manage the peer review process, they market their journals and so on. However, their revenues far exceed these costs and are among the highest of any companies in the world. Elsevier’s profit margin is reported to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/kittyknowles/2018/06/13/blockchain-science-iris-ai-project-aiur-elsevier-academic-journal-london-tech-week-cogx/\">nearly 40%\u003c/a>, far higher than even Apple at \u003ca href=\"https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/profit-margins\">around 23%\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where social media platforms like Facebook profit from – and indeed, would not exist without – the content generated by users, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/04/the-guardian-view-on-academic-publishing-disastrous-capitalism\">the parallel is true\u003c/a> for academic journals. Companies like Elsevier receive articles from university faculty and other researchers for free, summarizing research that was often publicly funded by government grants. Then other faculty and researchers serve on their editorial boards and peer-review those articles for free or a nominal fee. Finally the company publishes them in journals available only behind a paywall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s the rub: the paywall. The great promise of the internet was that it would make \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_wants_to_be_free\">knowledge more freely and easily accessible\u003c/a>. In the world of academic research – where new discoveries are made and new knowledge is born – the hope 20 years ago was that the advent of online platforms would make research articles universally available. It would also bring down the cost of publishing scholarly journals and, consequently, begin to reduce the multimillion dollar subscription costs borne by universities and other research institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, articles are not readily available to everyone, subscription costs have continued to rise, and subscribers’ rights have eroded, including what they can do with articles they buy and their ability to provide long-term access to them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What happened to sharing knowledge with the people who need it, funded or created it?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A Model for the Digital Age\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Maybe it’s time to just blow up the whole system and start over. But today’s scholarly system of sharing knowledge evolved over hundreds of years and contains certain qualities – peer review of accuracy, editorial judgment, long-term preservation – that still matter deeply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While research products – books, journals and articles – would definitely benefit from modernization in the digital age, we at the University of California are focusing on fixing the business model first. Paywalls and online subscriptions may make sense in other parts of the media ecosystem, but it’s not a good model for academic publishing, where authors and reviewers are paid by universities and research grants (with public money) rather than by publishers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11761672\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8-800x417.jpg\" alt=\" The open access movement would get rid of paywalls and let anyone read anything for free. \" width=\"800\" height=\"417\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11761672\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8-800x417.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8-160x83.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8-1020x532.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/file-20190307-82688-17ky3w8.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The open access movement would get rid of paywalls and let anyone read anything for free. \u003ccite>(Inked Pixels/Shutterstock.com)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, the academy has another option for a publishing business model that can better achieve the promise of the internet: open access. In that model, authors, or their funders or institutions, pay the publisher a fee to cover the cost of publishing each article. In exchange, the articles are made freely available for everyone to read online, anywhere, anytime. Article quality is preserved by the same unpaid peer-review system. Libraries at research institutions could shift their payments from licenses and subscriptions to publication fees for their affiliated authors. The cost is theoretically the same, but everyone can read everything for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California has long \u003ca href=\"https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/open-access-at-uc/open-access-policy/\">supported the ideals of open access\u003c/a> – allowing everyone in the world to access the knowledge created by its faculty and researchers, for the benefit of all. In fact, since open access became an option for publishing, more and more UC authors, following the \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.4375\">global trend\u003c/a>, have independently chosen to pay their publisher a fee in order to make their article freely available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those fees come on top of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/why-uc-split-publishing-giant-elsevier\">tens of millions of dollars\u003c/a> that the university is already paying the publisher for access to the same articles. This “\u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-science-of-the-tax-dollar-double-dip-1459379449\">double dipping\u003c/a>” by publishers was the final straw in UC’s resolve to change the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_Sp-B_0AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao\">I worked\u003c/a> with colleagues within the University of California and other academic research institutions to study the \u003ca href=\"https://www.library.ucdavis.edu/icis/uc-pay-it-forward-project/\">costs of publishing with this open access model\u003c/a>. We found that, while costs would shift and more research-grant funds may need to be applied to publishing fees, \u003ca href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284316481\">overall it would be affordable\u003c/a> for research universities, at least in North America where libraries are relatively well funded. With these results, UC could see a way out of its dilemma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When UC’s contract with Elsevier was up for renewal, we resolved to put our ideas into practice and pursue the twin goals of increasing open access to UC’s research while containing or lowering our journal-related costs – and finally achieving something of the promise of the internet. While I was not on UC’s negotiating team, I was among the group of faculty and library leaders that worked closely with them and decided to take this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, UC’s researchers will have to find other ways to get Elsevier journal articles than the online access they have become accustomed to. Many of those articles are already \u003ca href=\"https://www.the-scientist.com/daily-news/open-access-on-the-rise-study-31125\">freely available\u003c/a> on the web and the rest can be borrowed from libraries or requested from authors. There are also a growing number of tools like \u003ca href=\"https://unpaywall.org/\">Unpaywall\u003c/a>, which searches the web for free copies of articles, to help researchers with that transition. But for busy researchers with little time to spare, convenience is king, and they’ll likely soon learn from experience why achieving 100% open access to research articles is so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC’s goals are ambitious and their implementation will be complex. Changing a system this intricate is akin to modernizing the FAA’s air traffic control system – a million planes are in the air at any moment and altering anything can have serious consequences elsewhere. But we have to start somewhere or the whole system is at risk, and UC has placed its bet. We join an expanding \u003ca href=\"https://oa2020.org/mission/#eois\">global movement\u003c/a>, and we believe we’re now on the path to a better system for sharing knowledge in the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is an updated version of \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/university-of-californias-break-with-the-biggest-academic-publisher-could-shake-up-scholarly-publishing-for-good-112941\">an article\u003c/a> originally published on March 7, 2019.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article is republished from \u003ca href=\"http://theconversation.com\">The Conversation\u003c/a> under a Creative Commons license.

Since academic publishers moved their journals online, it has become rare for libraries to subscribe to printed journals, and researchers have adapted to the convenience of accessing journal articles on the internet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the new business model of licensing access to journals online rather than distributing them in print, for-profit publishers often lock libraries into bundled subscriptions that wrap the majority of a publisher’s portfolio of journals – \u003ca href=\"https://www.elsevier.com/books-and-journals\">almost 3,000 in Elsevier’s case\u003c/a> – into a single, multimillion dollar package. Rather than storing back issues on shelves, libraries can lose permanent access to journals when a contract expires. And members of the public can no longer read the library’s copy of a journal because the licenses are limited to members of the university. Now the public must buy online copies of academic articles for an average of $35 to $40 a pop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It is far more convenient to search for articles online, and easier to access and download a copy – provided you work for an institution with a paid subscription. Modern software makes organizing and annotating them simpler, too. With all of these benefits, no one would advocate for going back to the old days of print journals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Online access to journals did not improve the picture overall. Despite digital copies of articles costing nothing to duplicate and the cost of producing an article online being lower than in the past, the cost to libraries of licensing access to them has continued to experience \u003ca href=\"https://www.arl.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/5yr_ongoing-resource-expenditures_by_type.pdf\">hyperinflation\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/academic-journal-publishing-is-headed-for-a-day-of-reckoning-80869\">No library\u003c/a> can afford to license all the journals its faculty and students want access to, and many researchers around the world are shut out completely. Compounding the problem, \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0127502\">consolidation in the scholarly publishing market\u003c/a> has reduced competition significantly, causing even more price inflexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Excessive Profits?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Academic publishers certainly bear costs. They pay for professional editors and programmers, they manage the peer review process, they market their journals and so on. However, their revenues far exceed these costs and are among the highest of any companies in the world. Elsevier’s profit margin is reported to be \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/kittyknowles/2018/06/13/blockchain-science-iris-ai-project-aiur-elsevier-academic-journal-london-tech-week-cogx/\">nearly 40%\u003c/a>, far higher than even Apple at \u003ca href=\"https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/AAPL/apple/profit-margins\">around 23%\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Where social media platforms like Facebook profit from – and indeed, would not exist without – the content generated by users, \u003ca href=\"https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/mar/04/the-guardian-view-on-academic-publishing-disastrous-capitalism\">the parallel is true\u003c/a> for academic journals. Companies like Elsevier receive articles from university faculty and other researchers for free, summarizing research that was often publicly funded by government grants. Then other faculty and researchers serve on their editorial boards and peer-review those articles for free or a nominal fee. Finally the company publishes them in journals available only behind a paywall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And there’s the rub: the paywall. The great promise of the internet was that it would make \u003ca href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_wants_to_be_free\">knowledge more freely and easily accessible\u003c/a>. In the world of academic research – where new discoveries are made and new knowledge is born – the hope 20 years ago was that the advent of online platforms would make research articles universally available. It would also bring down the cost of publishing scholarly journals and, consequently, begin to reduce the multimillion dollar subscription costs borne by universities and other research institutions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In that model, authors, or their funders or institutions, pay the publisher a fee to cover the cost of publishing each article. In exchange, the articles are made freely available for everyone to read online, anywhere, anytime. Article quality is preserved by the same unpaid peer-review system. Libraries at research institutions could shift their payments from licenses and subscriptions to publication fees for their affiliated authors. The cost is theoretically the same, but everyone can read everything for free.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California has long \u003ca href=\"https://osc.universityofcalifornia.edu/open-access-at-uc/open-access-policy/\">supported the ideals of open access\u003c/a> – allowing everyone in the world to access the knowledge created by its faculty and researchers, for the benefit of all. In fact, since open access became an option for publishing, more and more UC authors, following the \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.7717/peerj.4375\">global trend\u003c/a>, have independently chosen to pay their publisher a fee in order to make their article freely available to the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those fees come on top of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/news/why-uc-split-publishing-giant-elsevier\">tens of millions of dollars\u003c/a> that the university is already paying the publisher for access to the same articles. This “\u003ca href=\"https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-science-of-the-tax-dollar-double-dip-1459379449\">double dipping\u003c/a>” by publishers was the final straw in UC’s resolve to change the system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several years ago, \u003ca href=\"https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=_Sp-B_0AAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao\">I worked\u003c/a> with colleagues within the University of California and other academic research institutions to study the \u003ca href=\"https://www.library.ucdavis.edu/icis/uc-pay-it-forward-project/\">costs of publishing with this open access model\u003c/a>. We found that, while costs would shift and more research-grant funds may need to be applied to publishing fees, \u003ca href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.5703/1288284316481\">overall it would be affordable\u003c/a> for research universities, at least in North America where libraries are relatively well funded. With these results, UC could see a way out of its dilemma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When UC’s contract with Elsevier was up for renewal, we resolved to put our ideas into practice and pursue the twin goals of increasing open access to UC’s research while containing or lowering our journal-related costs – and finally achieving something of the promise of the internet. While I was not on UC’s negotiating team, I was among the group of faculty and library leaders that worked closely with them and decided to take this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, UC’s researchers will have to find other ways to get Elsevier journal articles than the online access they have become accustomed to. Many of those articles are already \u003ca href=\"https://www.the-scientist.com/daily-news/open-access-on-the-rise-study-31125\">freely available\u003c/a> on the web and the rest can be borrowed from libraries or requested from authors. There are also a growing number of tools like \u003ca href=\"https://unpaywall.org/\">Unpaywall\u003c/a>, which searches the web for free copies of articles, to help researchers with that transition. But for busy researchers with little time to spare, convenience is king, and they’ll likely soon learn from experience why achieving 100% open access to research articles is so important.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC’s goals are ambitious and their implementation will be complex. Changing a system this intricate is akin to modernizing the FAA’s air traffic control system – a million planes are in the air at any moment and altering anything can have serious consequences elsewhere. But we have to start somewhere or the whole system is at risk, and UC has placed its bet. We join an expanding \u003ca href=\"https://oa2020.org/mission/#eois\">global movement\u003c/a>, and we believe we’re now on the path to a better system for sharing knowledge in the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This is an updated version of \u003ca href=\"https://theconversation.com/university-of-californias-break-with-the-biggest-academic-publisher-could-shake-up-scholarly-publishing-for-good-112941\">an article\u003c/a> originally published on March 7, 2019.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article is republished from \u003ca href=\"http://theconversation.com\">The Conversation\u003c/a> under a Creative Commons license.

She wants to use her education as a springboard to transform conditions for people like her family members, their neighbors, and farmworkers in her part of the region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re lacking a lot of things, but it’s such a beautiful place just because of the people that are here and our surroundings,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She loves how bright the stars are here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no nights anywhere for me in the world like the nights that we have here in the Eastern Coachella Valley,” she adds. She loves the sounds of the roosters in the morning and the coyotes at night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And mostly, the silence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lately, there’s been a different kind of sound piercing the quiet out here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rodriguez takes me down the dirt road a bit to see a racetrack for luxury cars, part of an \u003ca href=\"http://thethermalclub.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ultra-exclusive resort\u003c/a> adjacent to a private airport. It boasts 15-thousand-square-foot weekend homes for car collectors — just across a lettuce field from Rodriguez’s trailer park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCBejA9XN3g\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s really aggravating, she says, that the only paved roads with street lights near her home have been built for this racetrack.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It does get infuriating to see that they making the sidewalks, the streets better for these people who are coming here for one day, and we’ve been here all our lives,” says Rodriguez. “We don’t even get to have a sidewalk to go to the bus stop. Our students are walking through the mud.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high school, she says, teachers told her, “You need to move out of here. That’s the American dream.” At one point she believed it: that the only way to be successful was to move away from this valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her dad, Vicente, was a high school math teacher in Mexico. His wife was a skilled technical artist. They came here to find jobs, but ended up working in the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID='news_11737874,news_11738458,news_11737988' label='The Coachella You Might Not Have Heard About']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We started working in the vines, in the grapes,” he says. “Sometimes I regretted it. I would tell myself, ‘I could be giving classes behind a desk right now.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But then the Rodriguez’s twin girls, Olivia and Maria, came along. Vicente tears up as he tells the story in Spanish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I definitely couldn’t leave once they were born,” he says, sniffling. “Sorry, I get kind of emotional. I’m kind of a crybaby. But these are happy tears. Here, my kids can get an education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vicente tutored both his girls in math, and pushed them to succeed. One memorable day, when Rodriguez was a high school senior, Vicente went to the post office to pick up the family’s mail, then stopped at a house where he was laying tile as a side job. The man who lived there noticed a big envelope in Vicente’s hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He told me, that envelope is from UC Berkeley. Berkeley only accepts a few students, only the best.'” That was how he found out his daughter applied to Berkeley and had gotten into an elite school. He had no context for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley was tough for Rodriguez. It was a culture shock to live in a city where her dorm cost far more than many of her farmworker neighbors earned in a year. A place where she could take a bus or a train, instead of walking along muddy roads to try to catch a ride to school. She was going to school with kids whose parents got them lofty summer internships, while she worked vacations in the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But her classes at Berkeley taught her something else: she could do more to challenge the poverty and inequity in the Eastern Coachella Valley by coming back. Rodriguez now has a biology degree under her belt, and a master’s in public health in the works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11738500\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11738500\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36442_DSCF7986-qut-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36442_DSCF7986-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36442_DSCF7986-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36442_DSCF7986-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36442_DSCF7986-qut-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/RS36442_DSCF7986-qut.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">After graduating from UC Berkeley, Rodriguez returned to the Coachella Valley to pursue her masters in public health. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Bryan Mendez)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>After years of translating for her parents at the doctor’s office, Rodriguez wants to help change the way farmworkers are treated by the medical system when they seek attention for chronic problems like diabetes or heart disease.

"content": "\u003cp>When state legislators grilled University of California staff at a hearing Tuesday about the university’s response to the recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/14/us/college-admissions-scandal-questions.html\">college admissions scandal\u003c/a>, Assemblyman Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento) asked the question that’s been reverberating since the story broke last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do we reassure the public that the system is not totally rigged?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a dilemma for lawmakers who feel pressure to respond to a nationwide cheating scheme that cuts at the heart of higher education’s legitimacy. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ucla-admissions-soccer-recruit-20190319-story.html\">UCLA\u003c/a> soccer coach and the parent of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-uc-berkeley-crew-college-admissions-scandal-20190319-story.html\">UC Berkeley\u003c/a> alumnus were among the dozens of people charged by federal law enforcement with using fake test scores and athletic profiles to secure admission for wealthy students at elite colleges. The scandal stung all the more given the \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/admissions/article/2018/03/26/reports-circulate-even-more-difficult-year-be-admitted-leading\">massive demand\u003c/a> among Californians for a UC degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"small\" align=”right” citation=\"Assemblyman Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento)\"]'How do we reassure the public that the system is not totally rigged?'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though Tuesday’s hearing generated strong talk of crackdowns and expulsions, there are limits to what state government can do to prevent future scandals. State officials have little ability to influence the private schools like the University of Southern California and Stanford at the center of the investigation, And even within California’s public university system, key decisions about admission are made out of the public eye within the ivory tower, by UC faculty and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But legislators do have significant control over UC’s purse strings and the governor and lieutenant governor sit on the UC Board of Regents. Here are three takeaways from the state’s response so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>UC already has a small side door—and will be double-checking the locks now.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>UC policy allows campuses to admit up to 6 percent of each entering class as “admissions by exception,” meaning they might not meet the usual standards but have a special talent such as athletics or performing arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those under-the-radar admissions are the ones the FBI \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/file/1142876/download\">alleges\u003c/a> parents exploited at UC and elite private schools, by bribing sports coaches to bring on their children as walk-on players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These special admissions cases can also be used to increase geographic and cultural diversity, Provost Michael Brown told legislators Tuesday, by admitting students who were home-schooled or attended high schools in rural areas that don’t offer the courses that UC usually requires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said actual admissions by exception usually amount to no more than 2 percent of each entering class — campuses rarely use their entire quota because demand for regular slots is so high. Including transfer students, the UC system \u003cu>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/factsheets/2019/fall-2019-information-summary.pdf\">received\u003c/a> \u003c/u>nearly 218,000 undergraduate applications for the 2019-2020 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC says it doesn’t set aside any admissions slots for donors or legacy students — those whose parents attended the university — and audits a random sampling of applications each year to ensure the information submitted is accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless, admissions by exception will likely be a focus of UC’s internal investigation into the extent of the fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going to scrub this and see what we can do to improve our processes and … make it very difficult for anyone to take advantage of our system,” said the UC’s chief audit officer, Alex Bustamante.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The scandal has reignited debate over the use of the SAT and ACT exams in admissions.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>More than 1,000 colleges and universities nationwide have stopped requiring applicants to submit SAT or ACT test scores, according to the nonprofit FairTest—including the prestigious University of Chicago, which scrapped the requirement last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC, so far, hasn’t joined their ranks. But the revelation that wealthy families could so brazenly game the tests has reinvigorated the university’s ongoing deliberation about their future use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the request of UC President Janet Napolitano, a faculty task force has for the last several months been studying whether standardized tests accurately predict how well a student will succeed at the university. Critics of the SAT and ACT have long argued that they perpetuate racial disparities and favor applicants whose families can afford expensive test prep courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the scandal has helped people understand how these tests have become synonymous with privilege,” said UC Regent Eloy Ortiz Oakley, a longtime critic of the SAT who also serves as chancellor of the California Community Colleges. “What I’m hearing from my colleagues is outrage and concern and a heightened interest in getting back the recommendation from the Academic Senate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board defends the SAT’s integrity, saying it relies on schools to provide fair testing environments, but it has also taken measures to increase security in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No single admissions criteria is perfect, but objective measures like college entrance exams protect hardworking, honest students by making fraud harder to pull off and easier to detect,” Zachary Goldberg, a spokesperson for the College Board, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 60 percent of freshman applicants to UC’s fall 2019 class submitted SAT scores, 20 percent sent ACT scores, and the rest took both exams. Cal State requires the test for applicants whose high school GPAs are lower than 3.0, or who want to attend a high demand campus or program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One option UC could pursue: relying more on the Smarter Balanced tests the state already requires all students to take in 11th grade. Designed to align with school curriculum, Smarter Balanced exams do about as well as the SAT at predicting whether a student will get good grades in their first year at UC or Cal State and return for a second year, according to a forthcoming UC Davis study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the study found both tests were less effective at predicting outcomes for low-income students, said lead author Michal Kurlaender, a UC Davis education professor. Students outside California wouldn’t necessarily have access to the Smarter Balanced exams. And in-school state assessment tests, while free and convenient for students to take, have \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-cheating-trial-20140907-story.html\">faced\u003c/a> cheating scandals of their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Expect athletic admissions to come under more scrutiny.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>UC officials say all candidates who are recommended by athletic coaches go through an independent review before they’re admitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For all the processes I know about, no single individual is able to pull the trigger on a decision,” Brown said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the checks and balances seem to have failed in the case of Jorge Salcedo, a UCLA soccer coach \u003ca href=\"https://dailybruin.com/2019/03/12/mens-soccer-coach-jorge-salcedo-charged-in-college-admissions-bribery-scheme/\">indicted\u003c/a> on suspicion of taking $200,000 in bribes to accept two recruits who in fact had never played the sport competitively. UCLA placed Salcedo on leave last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether admissions officers actually contact a student’s high school to verify athletic accomplishments, Han Mi Yoon-Wu, UC’s vice president of undergraduate admissions, acknowledged that they often rely on coaches’ expertise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That should change, said Eddie Comeaux, a former professional baseball player and current chair of UC’s Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools, the faculty panel that oversees admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My suggestion would be to make sure you have more faculty oversight,” he said, adding that the admissions board will take up the issue at its April meeting. He pointed to UC Berkeley, which tightened admissions standards for athletes in recent years in response to low graduation rates among its football players, as a possible model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one reform legislators might also urge UC to adopt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to make sure the person who got on the swim team knows how to swim,” McCarty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

State officials have little ability to influence the private schools like the University of Southern California and Stanford at the center of the investigation, And even within California’s public university system, key decisions about admission are made out of the public eye within the ivory tower, by UC faculty and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Here are three takeaways from the state’s response so far.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>UC already has a small side door—and will be double-checking the locks now.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>UC policy allows campuses to admit up to 6 percent of each entering class as “admissions by exception,” meaning they might not meet the usual standards but have a special talent such as athletics or performing arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those under-the-radar admissions are the ones the FBI \u003ca href=\"https://www.justice.gov/file/1142876/download\">alleges\u003c/a> parents exploited at UC and elite private schools, by bribing sports coaches to bring on their children as walk-on players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These special admissions cases can also be used to increase geographic and cultural diversity, Provost Michael Brown told legislators Tuesday, by admitting students who were home-schooled or attended high schools in rural areas that don’t offer the courses that UC usually requires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown said actual admissions by exception usually amount to no more than 2 percent of each entering class — campuses rarely use their entire quota because demand for regular slots is so high. Including transfer students, the UC system \u003cu>\u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/institutional-research-academic-planning/_files/factsheets/2019/fall-2019-information-summary.pdf\">received\u003c/a> \u003c/u>nearly 218,000 undergraduate applications for the 2019-2020 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC says it doesn’t set aside any admissions slots for donors or legacy students — those whose parents attended the university — and audits a random sampling of applications each year to ensure the information submitted is accurate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regardless, admissions by exception will likely be a focus of UC’s internal investigation into the extent of the fraud.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are going to scrub this and see what we can do to improve our processes and … make it very difficult for anyone to take advantage of our system,” said the UC’s chief audit officer, Alex Bustamante.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The scandal has reignited debate over the use of the SAT and ACT exams in admissions.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>More than 1,000 colleges and universities nationwide have stopped requiring applicants to submit SAT or ACT test scores, according to the nonprofit FairTest—including the prestigious University of Chicago, which scrapped the requirement last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC, so far, hasn’t joined their ranks. But the revelation that wealthy families could so brazenly game the tests has reinvigorated the university’s ongoing deliberation about their future use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the request of UC President Janet Napolitano, a faculty task force has for the last several months been studying whether standardized tests accurately predict how well a student will succeed at the university. Critics of the SAT and ACT have long argued that they perpetuate racial disparities and favor applicants whose families can afford expensive test prep courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the scandal has helped people understand how these tests have become synonymous with privilege,” said UC Regent Eloy Ortiz Oakley, a longtime critic of the SAT who also serves as chancellor of the California Community Colleges. “What I’m hearing from my colleagues is outrage and concern and a heightened interest in getting back the recommendation from the Academic Senate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The College Board defends the SAT’s integrity, saying it relies on schools to provide fair testing environments, but it has also taken measures to increase security in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No single admissions criteria is perfect, but objective measures like college entrance exams protect hardworking, honest students by making fraud harder to pull off and easier to detect,” Zachary Goldberg, a spokesperson for the College Board, said in an email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 60 percent of freshman applicants to UC’s fall 2019 class submitted SAT scores, 20 percent sent ACT scores, and the rest took both exams. Cal State requires the test for applicants whose high school GPAs are lower than 3.0, or who want to attend a high demand campus or program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One option UC could pursue: relying more on the Smarter Balanced tests the state already requires all students to take in 11th grade. Designed to align with school curriculum, Smarter Balanced exams do about as well as the SAT at predicting whether a student will get good grades in their first year at UC or Cal State and return for a second year, according to a forthcoming UC Davis study.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the study found both tests were less effective at predicting outcomes for low-income students, said lead author Michal Kurlaender, a UC Davis education professor. Students outside California wouldn’t necessarily have access to the Smarter Balanced exams. And in-school state assessment tests, while free and convenient for students to take, have \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-cheating-trial-20140907-story.html\">faced\u003c/a> cheating scandals of their own.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Expect athletic admissions to come under more scrutiny.\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>UC officials say all candidates who are recommended by athletic coaches go through an independent review before they’re admitted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For all the processes I know about, no single individual is able to pull the trigger on a decision,” Brown said Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the checks and balances seem to have failed in the case of Jorge Salcedo, a UCLA soccer coach \u003ca href=\"https://dailybruin.com/2019/03/12/mens-soccer-coach-jorge-salcedo-charged-in-college-admissions-bribery-scheme/\">indicted\u003c/a> on suspicion of taking $200,000 in bribes to accept two recruits who in fact had never played the sport competitively. UCLA placed Salcedo on leave last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When asked whether admissions officers actually contact a student’s high school to verify athletic accomplishments, Han Mi Yoon-Wu, UC’s vice president of undergraduate admissions, acknowledged that they often rely on coaches’ expertise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That should change, said Eddie Comeaux, a former professional baseball player and current chair of UC’s Board of Admissions and Relations with Schools, the faculty panel that oversees admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My suggestion would be to make sure you have more faculty oversight,” he said, adding that the admissions board will take up the issue at its April meeting. He pointed to UC Berkeley, which tightened admissions standards for athletes in recent years in response to low graduation rates among its football players, as a possible model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s one reform legislators might also urge UC to adopt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to make sure the person who got on the swim team knows how to swim,” McCarty said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Several thousand of those live within a few miles of campus, Sweeney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This being a university, organizers will also closely study the pilot’s impact.
