Two modern yet art deco-looking lamps sit atop the table, with lighted half-domes facing the ceiling, the domes on metal rods attached to wood-and-metal boxes. A bookshelf lines the entire wall beyond the study table, partly empty but with many periodical boxes showing the spines of magazines.",

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.",

That could stem from the availability of rigorous courses in that student’s high school, such as Advanced Placement classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/mar22/a3.pdf\">recent UC Board of Regents memo\u003c/a> noted that a student from an under-resourced high school “may perform poorly on initial assignments.” As they learn the material over the course of the term, the student may ultimately ace the final exam yet still end up with a below average grade because of those early assignments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Greene is among some teaching staff across UC who have long advocated for changes to grading, but the pandemic has accelerated the willingness of many faculty members to get on board with those ideas, she said. According to the regents memo, faculty sensitivity to inequities in their students’ educational experiences “was heightened” during the pandemic, ramping up efforts across UC to improve grading and assessment, though officials acknowledge there’s no consensus across the system of the best approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will be better institutions for this,” said Greene, who is also the founding director of \u003ca href=\"https://citl.ucsc.edu/\">UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning\u003c/a>. “The changes that were happening in higher education at a glacial pace were put on a bullet train by COVID, and as painful as the last couple of years have been, we’re now having genuine conversations about how we can better serve the students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shift to reconsider how best to teach and assess students was a natural one for many faculty members amid the pandemic, said Rachel Kennison, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://ceils.ucla.edu/\">UCLA’s Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences\u003c/a>. Once classes moved online, faculty had to think of new ways to engage students and couldn’t rely on traditional methods for assessing them, such as in-person, closed-book exams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was key because often, students who struggle in their first year of college to achieve high grades are discouraged and leave their majors. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/the-science-divide-why-do-latino-and-black-students-leave-stem-majors-at-higher-rates/2019/05/03/e386d318-4b32-11e9-93d0-64dbcf38ba41_story.html\">problem is especially acute in STEM fields, and particularly among Black and Latino students\u003c/a> when they take \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2021/07/26/whos-getting-pulled-in-weed-out-courses-for-stem-majors/\">so-called weed-out classes\u003c/a>, difficult courses like chemistry or calculus that often determine whether a student sticks with their major.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>MIT's approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One college, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has found a system that may serve as a model for UC campuses. That university uses what Ian Waitz, MIT’s vice chancellor of undergraduate and graduate education, calls “ramp-up grading” for first-year students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For every class MIT students take their first semester, either they receive a passing grade or the course doesn’t show up on their transcript at all. In the second semester, they either get a letter grade of A, B or C or, if they earn a D or F, the class doesn’t appear on their transcript. By year two, students receive a standard A-F grade for most classes. That system for first-year grading has been in place at MIT since 2000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re gradually getting people acclimated, and they’re calibrating themselves to what it takes to succeed with our very rigorous academics,” Waitz said. That style of grading is valuable to students, who also are going through a massive life change as they start college. It’s a difficult transition for many students who are living away from home for the first time and need time to adjust.[aside postID=\"news_11898137,mindshift_59217,news_11911877\" label=\"Related Posts\"]Waitz acknowledged that there have been unintended consequences. For example, MIT requires all students to take certain rigorous physics and chemistry courses, and some students schedule those classes in their first semester “to get them out of the way” and not risk a poor letter grade, Waitz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part to combat that, MIT last year implemented a policy that lets students take any four classes on a pass/no record basis at any point after their first semester. Students don’t need to designate the class as pass/no record until after they’ve seen their potential letter grade. MIT officials hope that will encourage students to try as hard as possible in those classes to achieve a high letter grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waitz recently met with leaders of UC Irvine’s Academic Senate to discuss MIT’s strategies as Irvine weighs its options on first-year grading. A spokesperson for Irvine said in an email that the senate “is still deliberating policies and there is nothing to share at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Changes brewing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Relying more on pass/no pass grading could be a natural transition for UC campuses after almost all of them relaxed their pass/no pass regulations during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the state’s other four-year university system, the 23-campus California State University, there is currently no plan to rely less on letter grades, said Toni Molle, a spokesperson for the system-wide chancellor’s office. “While it’s possible that an individual campus could explore this tactic, we are not currently aware of any that are planning to do so,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the UC students who have benefited from pass/no pass classes is Timothy Tam Nguyen, a second-year math major at UC Irvine. Nguyen took a political science class and designated it as pass/no pass because he wasn’t confident he would get an A and wanted to focus more on classes in his major. The class was heavily essay-based, and Nguyen didn’t think the professor clearly explained the expectations for the essays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As I predicted, I ended up with a B+ in the class, mainly due to flaws in my essays that weren’t clearly articulated,” he said. Nguyen added that taking the class pass/no pass also was a stress reliever since it allowed him to “obsess less and live a more balanced life with friends and fitness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nguyen isn’t the only student who had lower stress levels while taking pass/no pass classes. Seeing how the increased availability of pass/no pass classes helped relieve student stress is among the main factors that motivated UC Berkeley’s College of Chemistry to consider permanent changes to pass/no pass grading for first-year students. College leaders also believe it’s an equity issue and have noticed that students who enter college less prepared than their peers often finish their first year with lower GPAs as a result, according to the regents memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some critics argue that designating too many classes as pass/no pass \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/choosing-pass-fail-grades-may-help-college-students-now-but-could-cost-them-later/\">could have negative implications for students hoping to attend graduate school\u003c/a>, though Greene disputes that notion. She pointed out that, until 2001, UC Santa Cruz did not assign grades at all and still sent many students to graduate school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC campuses looking at grade changes are focusing on the first year and not a student’s entire undergraduate career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Davis, meanwhile, the Department of Mathematics has considered using “contract grading,” which allows a student to choose how to be graded. One calculus instructor at that college gives students three options, each with a different distribution of weight across different assessments to determine the student’s grade. For example, one option could give more weight to exams, and another option could give more weight to homework and class engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere at Davis, an introductory biology class uses two-stage exams. After taking a traditional test, students work together in groups to solve questions that are the same or similar to the exam questions. “Students who preferred that approach said it provided an opportunity to debate and arrive at a better answer. Students also received immediate feedback on individual exam responses from peers,” states the regents memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennison said rethinking exams is key to considerations around grading changes because not all students demonstrate their knowledge the same way. Other options for assessing students include allowing them to use their notes on tests or assigning projects instead of exams. Oftentimes, Kennison said, classes that rely too heavily on final exams are measuring students’ ability to memorize things and “spit it back out” under pressure, something she said doesn’t necessarily measure a student’s mastery of the material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you think about students as individuals, they don’t learn in any one way. They need multiple modes of learning and multiple modes of being assessed,” Kennison said. “Ideally you are giving them lots of different types of assessments, making lots of different opportunities for them to assess their own learning right in low-stakes ways. You still can have a final exam, but it doesn’t necessarily have to have that high stakes, high pressure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

According to the regents memo, faculty sensitivity to inequities in their students’ educational experiences “was heightened” during the pandemic, ramping up efforts across UC to improve grading and assessment, though officials acknowledge there’s no consensus across the system of the best approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will be better institutions for this,” said Greene, who is also the founding director of \u003ca href=\"https://citl.ucsc.edu/\">UC Santa Cruz’s Center for Innovations in Teaching and Learning\u003c/a>. “The changes that were happening in higher education at a glacial pace were put on a bullet train by COVID, and as painful as the last couple of years have been, we’re now having genuine conversations about how we can better serve the students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The shift to reconsider how best to teach and assess students was a natural one for many faculty members amid the pandemic, said Rachel Kennison, executive director of \u003ca href=\"https://ceils.ucla.edu/\">UCLA’s Center for Education Innovation and Learning in the Sciences\u003c/a>. Once classes moved online, faculty had to think of new ways to engage students and couldn’t rely on traditional methods for assessing them, such as in-person, closed-book exams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was key because often, students who struggle in their first year of college to achieve high grades are discouraged and leave their majors. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/education/the-science-divide-why-do-latino-and-black-students-leave-stem-majors-at-higher-rates/2019/05/03/e386d318-4b32-11e9-93d0-64dbcf38ba41_story.html\">problem is especially acute in STEM fields, and particularly among Black and Latino students\u003c/a> when they take \u003ca href=\"https://www.brookings.edu/blog/brown-center-chalkboard/2021/07/26/whos-getting-pulled-in-weed-out-courses-for-stem-majors/\">so-called weed-out classes\u003c/a>, difficult courses like chemistry or calculus that often determine whether a student sticks with their major.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>MIT's approach\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>One college, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has found a system that may serve as a model for UC campuses. That university uses what Ian Waitz, MIT’s vice chancellor of undergraduate and graduate education, calls “ramp-up grading” for first-year students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For every class MIT students take their first semester, either they receive a passing grade or the course doesn’t show up on their transcript at all. In the second semester, they either get a letter grade of A, B or C or, if they earn a D or F, the class doesn’t appear on their transcript. By year two, students receive a standard A-F grade for most classes. That system for first-year grading has been in place at MIT since 2000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re gradually getting people acclimated, and they’re calibrating themselves to what it takes to succeed with our very rigorous academics,” Waitz said. That style of grading is valuable to students, who also are going through a massive life change as they start college. It’s a difficult transition for many students who are living away from home for the first time and need time to adjust.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>Waitz acknowledged that there have been unintended consequences. For example, MIT requires all students to take certain rigorous physics and chemistry courses, and some students schedule those classes in their first semester “to get them out of the way” and not risk a poor letter grade, Waitz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part to combat that, MIT last year implemented a policy that lets students take any four classes on a pass/no record basis at any point after their first semester. Students don’t need to designate the class as pass/no record until after they’ve seen their potential letter grade. MIT officials hope that will encourage students to try as hard as possible in those classes to achieve a high letter grade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waitz recently met with leaders of UC Irvine’s Academic Senate to discuss MIT’s strategies as Irvine weighs its options on first-year grading. A spokesperson for Irvine said in an email that the senate “is still deliberating policies and there is nothing to share at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Changes brewing\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Relying more on pass/no pass grading could be a natural transition for UC campuses after almost all of them relaxed their pass/no pass regulations during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the state’s other four-year university system, the 23-campus California State University, there is currently no plan to rely less on letter grades, said Toni Molle, a spokesperson for the system-wide chancellor’s office. “While it’s possible that an individual campus could explore this tactic, we are not currently aware of any that are planning to do so,” she added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the UC students who have benefited from pass/no pass classes is Timothy Tam Nguyen, a second-year math major at UC Irvine. Nguyen took a political science class and designated it as pass/no pass because he wasn’t confident he would get an A and wanted to focus more on classes in his major. The class was heavily essay-based, and Nguyen didn’t think the professor clearly explained the expectations for the essays.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As I predicted, I ended up with a B+ in the class, mainly due to flaws in my essays that weren’t clearly articulated,” he said. Nguyen added that taking the class pass/no pass also was a stress reliever since it allowed him to “obsess less and live a more balanced life with friends and fitness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nguyen isn’t the only student who had lower stress levels while taking pass/no pass classes. Seeing how the increased availability of pass/no pass classes helped relieve student stress is among the main factors that motivated UC Berkeley’s College of Chemistry to consider permanent changes to pass/no pass grading for first-year students. College leaders also believe it’s an equity issue and have noticed that students who enter college less prepared than their peers often finish their first year with lower GPAs as a result, according to the regents memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some critics argue that designating too many classes as pass/no pass \u003ca href=\"https://hechingerreport.org/choosing-pass-fail-grades-may-help-college-students-now-but-could-cost-them-later/\">could have negative implications for students hoping to attend graduate school\u003c/a>, though Greene disputes that notion. She pointed out that, until 2001, UC Santa Cruz did not assign grades at all and still sent many students to graduate school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The UC campuses looking at grade changes are focusing on the first year and not a student’s entire undergraduate career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Davis, meanwhile, the Department of Mathematics has considered using “contract grading,” which allows a student to choose how to be graded. One calculus instructor at that college gives students three options, each with a different distribution of weight across different assessments to determine the student’s grade. For example, one option could give more weight to exams, and another option could give more weight to homework and class engagement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elsewhere at Davis, an introductory biology class uses two-stage exams. After taking a traditional test, students work together in groups to solve questions that are the same or similar to the exam questions. “Students who preferred that approach said it provided an opportunity to debate and arrive at a better answer. Students also received immediate feedback on individual exam responses from peers,” states the regents memo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kennison said rethinking exams is key to considerations around grading changes because not all students demonstrate their knowledge the same way. Other options for assessing students include allowing them to use their notes on tests or assigning projects instead of exams. Oftentimes, Kennison said, classes that rely too heavily on final exams are measuring students’ ability to memorize things and “spit it back out” under pressure, something she said doesn’t necessarily measure a student’s mastery of the material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you think about students as individuals, they don’t learn in any one way. They need multiple modes of learning and multiple modes of being assessed,” Kennison said. “Ideally you are giving them lots of different types of assessments, making lots of different opportunities for them to assess their own learning right in low-stakes ways. You still can have a final exam, but it doesn’t necessarily have to have that high stakes, high pressure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Acute psychosis had hit suddenly a few weeks earlier, toward the end of fall semester of his sophomore year at Bard College in upstate New York. Gripped by terrifying delusions, his body began to shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FitzGibbon and her husband, Taylor, rushed their 20-year-old son to a hospital in Sonoma County, where they live. An acquaintance told them about a promising program for young people experiencing early psychosis. But the family quickly discovered a problem: the program didn’t exist in their county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, geography creates significant barriers to people getting early psychosis treatment, as it does for array of other evidence-based mental health treatments. That’s partly because California’s 58 counties have 58 different public mental health programs, each with their own set of covered services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='mental-health' label='more on mental health']“If you get on a bus in Northern California and take it to Southern California, you get different services depending on where you step out,” said Carmela Coyle, president and CEO of the California Hospital Association, a lobbying group for the state’s hospitals. “That’s just inequitable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Tom Insel, whom Gov.

What are their goals? What is their North Star?’ I can’t tell you that. There’s a North Star in L.A. County, in San Mateo, in Alameda. They’re not the same.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Insel and many other mental health experts say California offers too little guidance and oversight to ensure fair access to mental health treatment, missing opportunities to spread best practices from individual counties statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wants the state to identify specific goals for mental health outcomes, such as reducing suicides and the incarceration of people with mental illness. He also wants the state to help counties achieve those goals. Among his top priorities: early psychosis intervention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For most kids who can get that kind of treatment soon after the onset, they’ll do quite well,” Insel said. “They can go on to really have a life that does not happen today with a diagnosis of schizophrenia.”\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]A[/dropcap]bout 100,000 adolescents and young adults nationwide experience first-episode psychosis each year, \u003cu>\u003ca href=\"https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/topics/schizophrenia/raise/fact-sheet-first-episode-psychosis.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to federal figures\u003c/a>\u003c/u>—and three out of 100 people will experience psychosis at some point in their lives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, policymakers and mental health providers have grown enthusiastic about early psychosis intervention programs, which typically involve intensive counseling, psychiatric treatment and peer and family support, with trained providers working closely together to coordinate each patient’s care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, the federal government set aside 10% of states’ Community Mental Health Block Grants for early psychosis programming; in California, that totals $9.5 million.

Those in the first group might hear whispers and wonder if their brain is playing tricks on them; the second group is more likely to believe the voices are real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, only about two dozen counties have early psychosis programs.

Gripped by terrifying delusions, his body began to shut down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FitzGibbon and her husband, Taylor, rushed their 20-year-old son to a hospital in Sonoma County, where they live. An acquaintance told them about a promising program for young people experiencing early psychosis. But the family quickly discovered a problem: the program didn’t exist in their county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, geography creates significant barriers to people getting early psychosis treatment, as it does for array of other evidence-based mental health treatments. That’s partly because California’s 58 counties have 58 different public mental health programs, each with their own set of covered services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>\u003cem>Updated, 6 p.m. Tuesday\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Davis Chancellor Linda Katehi, who during her seven-year tenure became embroiled in an internationally notorious campus pepper-spray incident and charges of nepotism and conflict of interest, has resigned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The news broke during the noon hour Tuesday when Katehi's\u003ca href=\"https://phylogenomics.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/august-9-letter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"> resignation letter\u003c/a> surfaced online, followed rapidly by \u003ca href=\"http://www.davisenterprise.com/?p=667938\" target=\"_blank\">a statement\u003c/a> from Janet Napolitano, systemwide president of the University of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two messages agreed on one point: Katehi is stepping down as chancellor and will assume a full-time faculty position at Davis. When it came to the particulars of why Katehi is out, the letters diverged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano, who \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/28/uc-davis-chancellor-placed-on-leave-says-shes-being-scapegoated/\" target=\"_blank\">suspended Katehi\u003c/a> in late April and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article75844542.html\" target=\"_blank\">ordered an investigation\u003c/a>, wrote that the probe \"found numerous instances where Chancellor Katehi was not candid, either with me, the press, or the public, that she exercised poor judgment, and violated multiple University policies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast with Napolitano's summary of the probe's findings, Katehi wrote that \"investigators have confirmed that as to material allegations concerning my service to this institution, I did not violate UC policies or laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But investigators' 102-page report, released after the Katehi and Napolitano statements, represents a mixed verdict on the accusations. (The full document is \u003ca href=\"#katehireport\">embedded below\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katehi was found to have committed a variety of missteps on issues ranging from concerns about nepotism involving her son and daughter-in-law, spending of student fee revenue reimbursement for her private travel. The report says that even in cases where Katehi, her staff or her family may have violated UC policy on such matters, investigators found no intent to deceive or defraud the university. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On two other sets of allegations, though, the report's findings are far more critical. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katehi came under fire in April after reports surfaced that she had contracted with social media firms to try to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-uc-davis-pepper-spray-internet-20160415-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">whitewash negative publicity\u003c/a> related to a 2011 incident in which a campus police officer doused student protesters with pepper-spray -- \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/WmJmmnMkuEM\" target=\"_blank\">an episode\u003c/a> that went viral online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators found that Katehi \"was misleading, at best, or untruthful, at worst\" when she told Napolitano and media outlets that she had nothing to do with the contracts and that they had been initiated by others. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report concludes that Katehi's denials represented a violation of the University of California's \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucop.edu/ethics-compliance-audit-services/compliance/standards-of-ethical-conduct.html\" target=\"_blank\">Standards of Ethical Conduct\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Based on the available evidence,\" the report says, \"Chancellor Katehi appears to have violated UC policies requiring that she conduct herself “honestiy in ali dealings” when she represented to the public and [Napolitano] that she was not “aware of’ or “involved” in the social media and communications contracts. The evidence indicates that Chancellor Katehi was acutely focused on minimizing negative references to herself online. Multiple witnesses expressed concerns that Chancellor Katehi was inordinately concerned with her individual public image. At times, this fixation gave the appearance that Chancellor Katehi was directing university resources toward communications efforts that would benefit herself as much as the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that \"fixation,\" which at one point resulted in a contract with a firm that promised to \"eliminate\" and \"eradicate\" negative references to Katehi and Davis arising from the pepper spray incident, did not amount to a misuse of public funds or a policy violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The evidence indicates that the consultants did not aim to 'erase” or 'rewrite' history,\" the report concludes. \"Instead, despite the 'eradication' language ... the contracts generally aimed to improve the reputation of the university and the chancellor by producing positive content, thereby decreasing the visibility of negative\u003cbr>\ncontent on the Internet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigative report is similarly critical of Katehi's response to conflict-of-interest charges that arose from her highly compensated service on the boards of directors for two educational concerns -- John Wiley and Sons, a textbook publisher, and the DeVry University. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators found Katehi joined DeVry's board in February without the required UC clearance, disregarded information that the for-profit college was the target of government investigation, and lied to Napolitano in denying that she had begun serving on the board. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Following DeVry’s press release announcing her board membership, and in the midst of intense media scrutiny regarding the issue, Chancellor Katehi’s statements to President Napolitano were not candid,\" the report says. \"Chancellor Katehi told President Napolitano that she had not yet begun her service on the DeVry board, which was untrue.

When it came to the particulars of why Katehi is out, the letters diverged.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano, who \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/04/28/uc-davis-chancellor-placed-on-leave-says-shes-being-scapegoated/\" target=\"_blank\">suspended Katehi\u003c/a> in late April and \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article75844542.html\" target=\"_blank\">ordered an investigation\u003c/a>, wrote that the probe \"found numerous instances where Chancellor Katehi was not candid, either with me, the press, or the public, that she exercised poor judgment, and violated multiple University policies.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast with Napolitano's summary of the probe's findings, Katehi wrote that \"investigators have confirmed that as to material allegations concerning my service to this institution, I did not violate UC policies or laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But investigators' 102-page report, released after the Katehi and Napolitano statements, represents a mixed verdict on the accusations. (The full document is \u003ca href=\"#katehireport\">embedded below\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katehi was found to have committed a variety of missteps on issues ranging from concerns about nepotism involving her son and daughter-in-law, spending of student fee revenue reimbursement for her private travel. The report says that even in cases where Katehi, her staff or her family may have violated UC policy on such matters, investigators found no intent to deceive or defraud the university. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On two other sets of allegations, though, the report's findings are far more critical. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katehi came under fire in April after reports surfaced that she had contracted with social media firms to try to \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-uc-davis-pepper-spray-internet-20160415-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">whitewash negative publicity\u003c/a> related to a 2011 incident in which a campus police officer doused student protesters with pepper-spray -- \u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/WmJmmnMkuEM\" target=\"_blank\">an episode\u003c/a> that went viral online.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators found that Katehi \"was misleading, at best, or untruthful, at worst\" when she told Napolitano and media outlets that she had nothing to do with the contracts and that they had been initiated by others. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The report concludes that Katehi's denials represented a violation of the University of California's \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucop.edu/ethics-compliance-audit-services/compliance/standards-of-ethical-conduct.html\" target=\"_blank\">Standards of Ethical Conduct\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Based on the available evidence,\" the report says, \"Chancellor Katehi appears to have violated UC policies requiring that she conduct herself “honestiy in ali dealings” when she represented to the public and [Napolitano] that she was not “aware of’ or “involved” in the social media and communications contracts. The evidence indicates that Chancellor Katehi was acutely focused on minimizing negative references to herself online. Multiple witnesses expressed concerns that Chancellor Katehi was inordinately concerned with her individual public image. At times, this fixation gave the appearance that Chancellor Katehi was directing university resources toward communications efforts that would benefit herself as much as the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But that \"fixation,\" which at one point resulted in a contract with a firm that promised to \"eliminate\" and \"eradicate\" negative references to Katehi and Davis arising from the pepper spray incident, did not amount to a misuse of public funds or a policy violation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The evidence indicates that the consultants did not aim to 'erase” or 'rewrite' history,\" the report concludes. \"Instead, despite the 'eradication' language ... the contracts generally aimed to improve the reputation of the university and the chancellor by producing positive content, thereby decreasing the visibility of negative\u003cbr>\ncontent on the Internet.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigative report is similarly critical of Katehi's response to conflict-of-interest charges that arose from her highly compensated service on the boards of directors for two educational concerns -- John Wiley and Sons, a textbook publisher, and the DeVry University. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Investigators found Katehi joined DeVry's board in February without the required UC clearance, disregarded information that the for-profit college was the target of government investigation, and lied to Napolitano in denying that she had begun serving on the board. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Following DeVry’s press release announcing her board membership, and in the midst of intense media scrutiny regarding the issue, Chancellor Katehi’s statements to President Napolitano were not candid,\" the report says. \"Chancellor Katehi told President Napolitano that she had not yet begun her service on the DeVry board, which was untrue. Chancellor Katehi had already attended two events related to her board service -- an orientation for new board members at DeVry’s headquarters near Chicago and a board meeting in Florida just two weeks before her conversation with President Napolitano.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Katehi \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/news/investigations/the-public-eye/article69860477.html\" target=\"_blank\">quit the $70,000 a year position\u003c/a> in February, just a week after it became public. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her letter, Katehi emphasized that the she was cleared on the charges of nepotism and of misusing student fees.
