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.",

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.

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>\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.

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.

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",

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>",

Its organizers hope the program will prove successful enough to export to other University of California campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College students have been \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/homeless-college-students-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hit hard\u003c/a> by California’s housing crisis, struggling to find affordable digs near campuses that in many cases are located in the state’s priciest markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median apartment rent in Berkeley tops $3,500 per month, according to real estate website Zillow. On-campus housing is scarce, and 10 percent of students in a \u003ca href=\"https://housing.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/HousingSurvey_03022018.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent survey\u003c/a> reported being homeless at some point in their college careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, along the city’s idyllic, tree-lined streets, aging homeowners who bought in decades ago have stayed put as property values rose around them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Staff at Berkeley’s Retirement Center started strategizing last year about how to bring the two groups together. They won a grant from the chancellor’s office for a \u003ca href=\"https://retirement.berkeley.edu/berkeley-home-match\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pilot program\u003c/a> that will match six students with senior hosts for the spring semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to continue living in their homes, and people are living longer and retiring later,” said Andy Gaines, the executive director of Ashby Village, a nonprofit serving senior citizens that’s partnering with UC Berkeley on the project. “And oftentimes as people retire from the workforce and their friends and family die or move away, they are left more isolated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing their homes with students can provide seniors with a sense of community, Gaines said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students will pay below-market rent — less than $1,000 per month — or bedrooms inside the homes of retired university faculty and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sounds like a bargain to Mathiowetz, who attended a recent information session. She saw other potential benefits, too. “It’d be great to get to learn more about the university and what it was like back then when they were working,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the meeting, graduate student Rachel Bell coached interested students on writing enticing but honest bios outlining their interests and lifestyle. If you have a pet, Bell urged the students, mention it up front.

She landed a room in a shared house near campus, but it came with a steep price tag: $1,500 a month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s definitely on the expensive side,” said the Ph.D. student in metabolic biology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mathiowetz’s rent could soon decrease, however, thanks to a new home-sharing program that matches graduate students looking for housing with retirees who have extra space in their homes. Its organizers hope the program will prove successful enough to export to other University of California campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>College students have been \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/homeless-college-students-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">hit hard\u003c/a> by California’s housing crisis, struggling to find affordable digs near campuses that in many cases are located in the state’s priciest markets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The median apartment rent in Berkeley tops $3,500 per month, according to real estate website Zillow. On-campus housing is scarce, and 10 percent of students in a \u003ca href=\"https://housing.berkeley.edu/sites/default/files/pdf/HousingSurvey_03022018.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">recent survey\u003c/a> reported being homeless at some point in their college careers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They won a grant from the chancellor’s office for a \u003ca href=\"https://retirement.berkeley.edu/berkeley-home-match\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pilot program\u003c/a> that will match six students with senior hosts for the spring semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People want to continue living in their homes, and people are living longer and retiring later,” said Andy Gaines, the executive director of Ashby Village, a nonprofit serving senior citizens that’s partnering with UC Berkeley on the project. “And oftentimes as people retire from the workforce and their friends and family die or move away, they are left more isolated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sharing their homes with students can provide seniors with a sense of community, Gaines said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students will pay below-market rent — less than $1,000 per month — or bedrooms inside the homes of retired university faculty and staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sounds like a bargain to Mathiowetz, who attended a recent information session. She saw other potential benefits, too. “It’d be great to get to learn more about the university and what it was like back then when they were working,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the meeting, graduate student Rachel Bell coached interested students on writing enticing but honest bios outlining their interests and lifestyle. If you have a pet, Bell urged the students, mention it up front. Don’t wait for it to come up later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those profiles are passed on to homeowners, who — after both parties pass background checks — go on “dates” with prospective housemates until a match is found.
