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.

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>This story is part of a weekly series of profiles of candidates running for the 15th Assembly District. You can see all the profiles and news about this race \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/ad15\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It may seem like the ultimate waving of a white flag for Republicans in the liberal East Bay — the only GOP candidate running for State Assembly is a college sophomore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Running a competitive race would be an uphill climb for any Republican, as only six percent of registered voters in the 15th district identify with the party.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Pranav Jandhyala's experience as a Republican on the liberal campus of UC Berkeley may be the perfect precursor for what he faces in this race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Being a Republican on campus has taught me a lot about resilience and perseverance,\" Jandhyala said. \"I've been like harassed, stalked as a member of the College Republicans, and if you don't stand up for your beliefs, you're sacrificing a lot more.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that threats are the least of what he's faced in the nearly two years he's been at Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last February, \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2017/02/02/protest-forces-cancellation-of-milo-yiannopoulos-event-at-uc-berkeley/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a planned speech by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos sparked protests on campus\u003c/a>, and Jandhyala says he was attacked by demonstrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"They started beating me up with fists and sticks, and I was on the ground for maybe ten, twenty seconds,\" he said. \"It was the longest twenty seconds of my life.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campus paper that Jandhyala edited, the Berkeley Patriot, was later criticized for attempting to bring Yiannopoulos back to campus last fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The campus protests pushed him to start BridgeUSA, a group that aims to unite political divisions on college campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Political moderation is what Jandhyala sees as the path out of the woods for Republicans in the Bay Area. He points to GOP Assemblywoman \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/10348340/meet-catherine-baker-bay-areas-only-republican-assemblymember\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Catharine Baker\u003c/a>, who has won election twice in the neighboring 16th district (where Democrats have a registration advantage), as a model.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jandhyala says the value Republicans in this region should espouse is \"practicality.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's looking at issues rationally and not being so quick to emotion,\" he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jandhyala applauded the Republicans in the Assembly, including Baker, who worked with the Democratic majority on environmental legislation last year. He also thinks Republicans can run in this region on criminal justice issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm for rehabilitation. I want to be smart on crime, but also tough on crime,\" said Jandhyala, who believes the latter value could even draw support in liberal Berkeley. \"I can't tell you how many times I've heard a friend tell me they're scared to walk to class or scared to walk home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Baker has fought off Democratic challengers in the more purple Tri-Valley area, the \"R\" next to Jandhyala's name on the ballot is likely to be a scarlet letter to voters in Oakland and Berkeley. Democrats have a 60-point registration advantage in the 15th district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very least, Jandhyala hopes to put his Democratic opponents through some intellectual sparring before one of them likely heads off to the (slightly) more politically divided Capitol. At forums, he's been the lone voice on stage pushing back against issues that unite the rest of the field, such as support for single-payer healthcare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I want to be able to challenge that,\" he said. \"I want to give voters who might not believe in this Democratic status quo an option.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

He also thinks Republicans can run in this region on criminal justice issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm for rehabilitation. I want to be smart on crime, but also tough on crime,\" said Jandhyala, who believes the latter value could even draw support in liberal Berkeley. \"I can't tell you how many times I've heard a friend tell me they're scared to walk to class or scared to walk home.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while Baker has fought off Democratic challengers in the more purple Tri-Valley area, the \"R\" next to Jandhyala's name on the ballot is likely to be a scarlet letter to voters in Oakland and Berkeley. Democrats have a 60-point registration advantage in the 15th district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the very least, Jandhyala hopes to put his Democratic opponents through some intellectual sparring before one of them likely heads off to the (slightly) more politically divided Capitol.

But some said having support from professors who share their roots made the difference between success and failure at a high-pressure campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sandra Vences, 29, transferred to UC Berkeley from San Diego City College in 2015. She wanted to be a nurse practitioner and signed up for organic chemistry, but struggled to finish it. She gravitated toward Chicano/Latino studies, where she ended up majoring, building relationships with Gonzalez and other Latino professors whom she found approachable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon she was leading other students on a service and learning trip to Arizona, focusing on immigration issues. She’ll graduate this spring and still plans to enter nursing, but is also applying for a fellowship at the state Capitol to better understand health policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, I don’t think I would have survived in any other major,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lack of Latino faculty may also hinder UC campuses’ ability to diversify their student bodies in the first place. The difference between the percentage of UC Berkeley students who are Latino and the proportion of California’s high school graduates who are is bigger than at any other state’s flagship public university, according to \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wgbh.org/on-campus/2018/1/29/many-state-flagship-universities-leave-black-and-latino-students-behind/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hechinger Report\u003c/a>, a nonprofit news organization focused on inequality in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the gap affects something even more fundamental, said Gregg Camfield, vice provost for faculty at UC Merced: the questions researchers ask and how they answer them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a big Western bias toward the individual great mind, but we’re coming to understand that most of the world’s problems are extremely complex,” he said, “and we need to tap the perspectives and experience of a very wide range of people in order to solve them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Designed for 35 students, Gonzalez’s classes on Chicanos, Law and Criminal Justice, Mexican Immigration and Chicano Culture brim with 50 to 60. “It’s not healthy whatsoever, but those are 160 students I want to have a conversation with,” says Gonzalez, who lacks tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His cozy fifth-floor office rarely empties, as students continually stop by to chat or seek advice. “I say ‘this door, as long as it’s open, you can come in.’ The students see a lot of closed doors outside of school because of how they look, who they are, who they are becoming,” he says. “I try to make sure they know that this is their space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11656214\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11656214\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Photo2-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"UC Berkeley students engage in a class that lecturer Pablo Gonzalez teaches on Mexican immigration.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Berkeley students engage in a class that lecturer Pablo Gonzalez teaches on Mexican immigration. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Born just down the street from the wooded campus, Gonzalez grew up in working-class neighborhoods of Berkeley and Richmond, majoring in Chicano Studies at UC Berkeley before heading to the University of Texas for graduate work in anthropology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had never been to a place where in every field of study, there was Latino faculty,” he says of those years in Texas. “It had me thinking, ‘how do you continue that, but then also (create) the next generation?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mentoring students, he decided, would be a central part of his career. Last year, as anti-immigrant rhetoric filled the airwaves and police descended on Berkeley’s campus in response to planned alt-right events, the knocks on his door became more frequent. Some students had family members being deported, or wanted to know whether they should reapply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the program that granted temporary legal status to some immigrant students but is currently in limbo. A few were experiencing mental breakdowns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My students still feel that sense of stigma that they don’t belong,” he says. “As an educator, you’re up there, and you have to be their lighthouse. They’re navigating so much. They want to see that there’s at least a path for them to get through. And we have to build way more lighthouses because they’re navigating really blind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rising \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/04/new-data-show-tightening-phd-job-market-across-disciplines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">competition\u003c/a>, the demise of affirmative action, and the concentration of California’s Latino undergraduates at less prestigious universities all impede UC’s ability to recruit the next Pablo Gonzalez, said Alex Saragoza, who has taught Chicano/Latino Studies at UC Berkeley since the 1980s. A generation of faculty members hired before \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/04/new-data-show-tightening-phd-job-market-across-disciplines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s Proposition 209\u003c/a> banned affirmative action on public university campuses is now retiring, with an insufficient number of candidates in the pipeline to replace them, Saragoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of the delay is that the majority of Latino students in four-year universities are not in top-tier institutions, and they have to face competition from people at the Princetons and the Yales and Harvards and Berkeleys in terms of getting to a top-tier graduate program that facilitates going on to a teaching career at the college level,” Saragoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet a report on UC Berkeley’s Latino community released last year by a task force of students, faculty and administrators indicated the university could do more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the Latinx demographics approaching 50% in California, our miniscule representation on the Berkeley faculty is a glaring reminder that the campus must make a forceful commitment to identifying departments and fields where faculty [can] be aggressively recruited,” the report reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11656216\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-800x1164.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-800x1164.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-160x233.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1020x1484.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1920x2793.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1180x1716.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-960x1396.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-240x349.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-375x545.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-520x756.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC system is developing a leadership program for Latino faculty and forming an advisory council that can recommend ways to address representation among both faculty and students, UC spokeswoman Claire Doan said. Fellowship and training programs, many privately funded, aim to attract more diverse candidates to graduate programs and faculty positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Merced, the campus with the largest proportion of Latino professors at about 12 percent, faculty-nominated equity advisers strategize with search committee chairs about how to attract diverse candidates and combat implicit bias in hiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re working constantly to make sure the pools we’re hiring from are sufficiently diverse,” said Camfield, the vice provost. “If they aren’t, we extend the search. We’re not willing to let faculty say, ‘Well, this is all we got.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve still got a long way to go,” he added, noting that Latinos make up about half of the campus’ students. But he said the Central Valley location helps lure socially engaged scholars—many of them from underrepresented backgrounds—who are motivated to solve the area’s myriad challenges, from air pollution to health disparities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To change faculty demographics, experts say, start with graduate students. That’s the focus of a five-year nationwide pilot program, \u003ca href=\"https://cmsi.gse.upenn.edu/hsi-pathways\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pathways to the Professoriate\u003c/a>, that matches undergraduates from three universities where more than a quarter of students are Latino—California State University, Northridge, the University of Texas at El Paso and Florida International University—with mentors at five major research universities, including UC Davis and UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students attend a six-week boot camp on research skills and applying to graduate school, receive funding to conduct independent research, and work with mentors on their CVs and essays. Sponsored by the \u003ca href=\"https://cmsi.gse.upenn.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions\u003c/a>, the program has helped identify barriers Latino undergraduate applicants may face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their schools often lack the resources to sponsor summer research programs, or don’t offer languages that might give students a leg up in their fields, said Heidi Schumacher, who directs the Pathways program at Cal State, Northridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have students who commute hours each day while getting good grades and working a full-time job,” she said. “That kind of grit and persistence is an indicator of their potential for success. But that doesn’t show up on a college transcript. So we’re asking the research universities, ‘How can we make what is great about these students legible to you?’ \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight Northridge students who participated in the program’s first group applied to schools this spring. Combined, they have received more than 20 offers of admission with full funding from graduate programs across the country, said Schumacher—including Northwestern, the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just one was accepted to UC Davis, she said, and none to UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This story and other higher education coverage are being supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California’s policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is an abridged version of the full story, which is available at \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/californias-top-public-universities-dearth-latino-professors-matters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a>—a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California’s policies and politics.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She’ll graduate this spring and still plans to enter nursing, but is also applying for a fellowship at the state Capitol to better understand health policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Honestly, I don’t think I would have survived in any other major,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lack of Latino faculty may also hinder UC campuses’ ability to diversify their student bodies in the first place. The difference between the percentage of UC Berkeley students who are Latino and the proportion of California’s high school graduates who are is bigger than at any other state’s flagship public university, according to \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.wgbh.org/on-campus/2018/1/29/many-state-flagship-universities-leave-black-and-latino-students-behind/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hechinger Report\u003c/a>, a nonprofit news organization focused on inequality in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the gap affects something even more fundamental, said Gregg Camfield, vice provost for faculty at UC Merced: the questions researchers ask and how they answer them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a big Western bias toward the individual great mind, but we’re coming to understand that most of the world’s problems are extremely complex,” he said, “and we need to tap the perspectives and experience of a very wide range of people in order to solve them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Designed for 35 students, Gonzalez’s classes on Chicanos, Law and Criminal Justice, Mexican Immigration and Chicano Culture brim with 50 to 60. “It’s not healthy whatsoever, but those are 160 students I want to have a conversation with,” says Gonzalez, who lacks tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His cozy fifth-floor office rarely empties, as students continually stop by to chat or seek advice. “I say ‘this door, as long as it’s open, you can come in.’ The students see a lot of closed doors outside of school because of how they look, who they are, who they are becoming,” he says. “I try to make sure they know that this is their space.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11656214\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11656214\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Photo2-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"UC Berkeley students engage in a class that lecturer Pablo Gonzalez teaches on Mexican immigration.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Berkeley students engage in a class that lecturer Pablo Gonzalez teaches on Mexican immigration. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Born just down the street from the wooded campus, Gonzalez grew up in working-class neighborhoods of Berkeley and Richmond, majoring in Chicano Studies at UC Berkeley before heading to the University of Texas for graduate work in anthropology.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had never been to a place where in every field of study, there was Latino faculty,” he says of those years in Texas. “It had me thinking, ‘how do you continue that, but then also (create) the next generation?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mentoring students, he decided, would be a central part of his career. Last year, as anti-immigrant rhetoric filled the airwaves and police descended on Berkeley’s campus in response to planned alt-right events, the knocks on his door became more frequent. Some students had family members being deported, or wanted to know whether they should reapply for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, the program that granted temporary legal status to some immigrant students but is currently in limbo. A few were experiencing mental breakdowns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My students still feel that sense of stigma that they don’t belong,” he says. “As an educator, you’re up there, and you have to be their lighthouse. They’re navigating so much. They want to see that there’s at least a path for them to get through. And we have to build way more lighthouses because they’re navigating really blind.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rising \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/04/new-data-show-tightening-phd-job-market-across-disciplines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">competition\u003c/a>, the demise of affirmative action, and the concentration of California’s Latino undergraduates at less prestigious universities all impede UC’s ability to recruit the next Pablo Gonzalez, said Alex Saragoza, who has taught Chicano/Latino Studies at UC Berkeley since the 1980s. A generation of faculty members hired before \u003ca href=\"https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/04/04/new-data-show-tightening-phd-job-market-across-disciplines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California’s Proposition 209\u003c/a> banned affirmative action on public university campuses is now retiring, with an insufficient number of candidates in the pipeline to replace them, Saragoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of the delay is that the majority of Latino students in four-year universities are not in top-tier institutions, and they have to face competition from people at the Princetons and the Yales and Harvards and Berkeleys in terms of getting to a top-tier graduate program that facilitates going on to a teaching career at the college level,” Saragoza said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet a report on UC Berkeley’s Latino community released last year by a task force of students, faculty and administrators indicated the university could do more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Given the Latinx demographics approaching 50% in California, our miniscule representation on the Berkeley faculty is a glaring reminder that the campus must make a forceful commitment to identifying departments and fields where faculty [can] be aggressively recruited,” the report reads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11656216\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-800x1164.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1164\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-800x1164.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-160x233.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1020x1484.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1920x2793.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-1180x1716.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-960x1396.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-240x349.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-375x545.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/LATINO_PROFESSORS_Graphic2-520x756.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC system is developing a leadership program for Latino faculty and forming an advisory council that can recommend ways to address representation among both faculty and students, UC spokeswoman Claire Doan said. Fellowship and training programs, many privately funded, aim to attract more diverse candidates to graduate programs and faculty positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Merced, the campus with the largest proportion of Latino professors at about 12 percent, faculty-nominated equity advisers strategize with search committee chairs about how to attract diverse candidates and combat implicit bias in hiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re working constantly to make sure the pools we’re hiring from are sufficiently diverse,” said Camfield, the vice provost. “If they aren’t, we extend the search. We’re not willing to let faculty say, ‘Well, this is all we got.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve still got a long way to go,” he added, noting that Latinos make up about half of the campus’ students. But he said the Central Valley location helps lure socially engaged scholars—many of them from underrepresented backgrounds—who are motivated to solve the area’s myriad challenges, from air pollution to health disparities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To change faculty demographics, experts say, start with graduate students. That’s the focus of a five-year nationwide pilot program, \u003ca href=\"https://cmsi.gse.upenn.edu/hsi-pathways\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pathways to the Professoriate\u003c/a>, that matches undergraduates from three universities where more than a quarter of students are Latino—California State University, Northridge, the University of Texas at El Paso and Florida International University—with mentors at five major research universities, including UC Davis and UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students attend a six-week boot camp on research skills and applying to graduate school, receive funding to conduct independent research, and work with mentors on their CVs and essays. Sponsored by the \u003ca href=\"https://cmsi.gse.upenn.edu/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Penn Center for Minority Serving Institutions\u003c/a>, the program has helped identify barriers Latino undergraduate applicants may face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Their schools often lack the resources to sponsor summer research programs, or don’t offer languages that might give students a leg up in their fields, said Heidi Schumacher, who directs the Pathways program at Cal State, Northridge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have students who commute hours each day while getting good grades and working a full-time job,” she said. “That kind of grit and persistence is an indicator of their potential for success. But that doesn’t show up on a college transcript. So we’re asking the research universities, ‘How can we make what is great about these students legible to you?’ \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eight Northridge students who participated in the program’s first group applied to schools this spring. Combined, they have received more than 20 offers of admission with full funding from graduate programs across the country, said Schumacher—including Northwestern, the University of Minnesota and the University of Michigan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But just one was accepted to UC Davis, she said, and none to UC Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This story and other higher education coverage are being supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California’s policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She didn't report the assault. \"I didn't know what to do,\" she says. \"I felt powerless.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says the harassment went on and, finally, she told him she was gay.

The friend says Latta was a strong student, but ended up dropping out because of the episode.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latta says that’s true. She didn’t finish her Ph.D. at Berkeley. “I had to leave academia for a long time because of what happened,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t just the trauma of the alleged assault and harassment, or the way the university responded that affected her.

We heard from refugees, military veterans, journalists, activists and more. This story comes from San Mateo resident David Meisenheimer, who gave up his student deferment from the draft because he felt it was too privileged. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mid-'60s, while I was a high school student, I was in support of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. In the Bay Area, there was an increasing amount of voices opposing the war. I explored information available in our high school library that convinced me our politicians were not providing the complete story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We really were not getting accurate information. That really shaped everything that happened to me for the rest of my life. It definitely made me think, and I wasn't gonna naturally accept what my government said to me ever again from that time forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it came time to register to vote, I chose \"declines to state.\" I had (have) no faith in our political \"leaders\" to tell the truth about anything. I did not consider the politicians to be leaders. I felt they were more interested in their own position than they were their constituents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[audio src=\"https://www.kqed.org/.stream/anon/radio/RDnews/2017/09/MeisenheimerProfile.mp3\" title=\"This Vietnam Objector Says The Government Was Spreading Fake News Back Then—And He Never Trusted What They Said Again\" Program=\"KQED News\" image=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26575_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-3-qut.jpg\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March of 1968, I turned 18 and registered for the draft. That fall, I started college and received a student deferment. Before the end of that year, I had dropped out of school and lost my student deferment. I went back to school for the 1969 spring semester. I wanted my student deferment back, and I went to Berkeley seeking assistance from the draft resistance. Their solution was for me to immediately leave the country, and they told me they had resources that would help me do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, I returned to the library. I went through a copy of the Selective Service Act and located a paragraph that outlined a process for having a student deferment reinstated. I followed that process and my student deferment was reinstated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, I became aware that a disproportionate number of draftees were people of color because college was not an option for so many young men of color as it was to white males. I felt like it wasn't right for me, as a white male, to have a student deferment. So, I gave up my student deferment and decided to apply for conscientious objector status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11617890\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11617890 size-large\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-1020x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-960x640.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/09/RS26574_20170912_VietnamStories_DavidMeisenheimer_Credit_BertJohnson-2-qut-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">David Meisenheimer flips through the numerous draft cards he received while pursuing his conscientious objector status. \u003ccite>(Bert Johnson/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>By late spring of 1969, my draft board had sent me notice to report for my physical. I had not had a ruling on my CO status, but I knew what I would do at my physical. By this time, I had read about others who refused to accept the military oath after passing their physicals. I knew what to expect and I was prepared to deal with those consequences whatever they might have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was now June and time for school finals. I had an English professor who helped with a letter submitted to my draft board that said my physical was scheduled for the same day as my final, and that was the only day I would be able to take the final. The board excused me from my physical appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board had also denied my initial request for CO status and I began the appeal process. I did receive two more notices to report for physicals over the next several months, but because I was still in the appeal process I did not have to report. I appeared before my draft board as part of the appeal process and it did last for many months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, I was awarded CO status. The only draft card I ever signed was the one I received with my CO status. No doubt I received CO status more because of the military's need to process young men who were not resisting than I did for my moral convictions. Regardless, I felt a sense of accomplishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really felt like the people who refused induction -- those people were the heroes for me.

This story comes from San Mateo resident David Meisenheimer, who gave up his student deferment from the draft because he felt it was too privileged. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the mid-'60s, while I was a high school student, I was in support of U.S. involvement in Vietnam. In the Bay Area, there was an increasing amount of voices opposing the war. I explored information available in our high school library that convinced me our politicians were not providing the complete story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We really were not getting accurate information. That really shaped everything that happened to me for the rest of my life. It definitely made me think, and I wasn't gonna naturally accept what my government said to me ever again from that time forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it came time to register to vote, I chose \"declines to state.\" I had (have) no faith in our political \"leaders\" to tell the truth about anything. I did not consider the politicians to be leaders. I felt they were more interested in their own position than they were their constituents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I had not had a ruling on my CO status, but I knew what I would do at my physical. By this time, I had read about others who refused to accept the military oath after passing their physicals. I knew what to expect and I was prepared to deal with those consequences whatever they might have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was now June and time for school finals. I had an English professor who helped with a letter submitted to my draft board that said my physical was scheduled for the same day as my final, and that was the only day I would be able to take the final. The board excused me from my physical appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board had also denied my initial request for CO status and I began the appeal process. I did receive two more notices to report for physicals over the next several months, but because I was still in the appeal process I did not have to report. I appeared before my draft board as part of the appeal process and it did last for many months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, I was awarded CO status. The only draft card I ever signed was the one I received with my CO status. No doubt I received CO status more because of the military's need to process young men who were not resisting than I did for my moral convictions. Regardless, I felt a sense of accomplishment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I really felt like the people who refused induction -- those people were the heroes for me. I know that even to this day they're not viewed that way. They were sometimes viewed as having taken the easy way out.
