On Thursday, about 200 people rallied on the UCSC campus to support graduate students and university workers who are striking for higher wages.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Tony Boardman, a PhD student in literature and a teaching assistant at UC Santa Cruz\"]‘I thought the university would take care of me. That’s not how it turned out.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tony Boardman is a Ph.D. student in literature and a teaching assistant (TA) at UC Santa Cruz. But he said the pay isn’t enough to live on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s an international student from the United Kingdom and said people warned him about the high cost of living in Santa Cruz. “But I thought there would be a way. I thought the university would take care of me. And that’s not how it turned out,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"https://www.apartmentlist.com/rentonomics/cost-burden-2019/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">study by Apartment List\u003c/a> found nearly 60% of people living in Santa Cruz are cost-burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their paycheck on rent. That’s a higher rate than in San Francisco and in San Jose.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“UCSC needs to pay its workers a living wage. And there’s a ton of workers on campus who need this and who aren’t getting the deal that they need,” Boardman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/bayareabrrn/status/1215366397028519936\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TAs across the UC system are all paid the same rate, regardless of their community’s cost of living. They make roughly $2,400 a month before taxes. Their 20-hour workweek includes instructing labs, holding office hours and grading.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Dec. 9, just before finals week of the fall quarter, hundreds of UC Santa Cruz graduate students went on strike — a grading strike. They decided not to submit grades for undergraduate courses until the university provides a $1,400 cost of living adjustment for all graduate students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t like holding the grades hostage or something like that. It’s saying that we can’t do the labor that we’re expected to do if the university won’t pay us the money that we need to live and work here,” said Boardman.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11795359\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/01/IMG_1069-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Tony Boardman, a PhD student in literature, speaks with Veronica Hamilton, a PhD student in psychology.

According to the university, about 80% of all grades are in, but that includes grades not handled by TAs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Undergraduate student Sara Valenzuela was still missing one grade during the first week back at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, it’s been very, I don’t want to say stressful but at the same time a little. Just because over the winter break, it’s kind of like nerve wracking not knowing what you got for the class and you know how that builds anxiety,” Valenzuela said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\" Veronica Hamilton, UC Santa Cruz teaching assistant and unit chair for UAW 2865\"]‘People can’t pay their rent now.

The union, UAW 2865, is currently under a four-year contract.

Known as “admissions by exception,” it gives campuses flexibility to admit up to 6% of each entering class from applicants who don’t meet UC’s minimum standards, but have a special talent or come from a disadvantaged background.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it’s unclear if admissions by exception played a direct role in the college cheating scandal, it has surfaced as a potential weak spot as policymakers seek ways to bulletproof the university’s admission system from scammers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Documents and interviews with admissions officers show UC’s nine undergraduate campuses are using the policy in very different ways — ways that some campuses prefer to keep secret, even after \u003ca href=\"https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/july19/c1attach1.pdf\">an internal UC audit\u003c/a> urged more transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In response to a public records request from CalMatters, for instance, most campuses said they had no documentation of how many students are admitted by exception each year. At least one campus exceeded the 6% cap in 2018.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just one campus—UCLA—provided records outlining the total numbers and demographics of students admitted under the policy, while two others—UC Santa Cruz and UC Riverside—verbally detailed how they select the exceptional admits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Together, the three campuses offer a glimpse of how admissions by exception works and how campuses use it to their advantage. Perhaps best known as a tool for athletic recruitment, the policy also helps campuses open access to non-traditional students, and even shore up their bottom lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>UCLA: A Leg Up for Athletic Stars\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11767087\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/UCLA-Football-800x592.jpg\" alt=\"UCLA largely uses its admissions by exception to recruit gifted athletes.

All but about a dozen were athletes or possessed other special talents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While athletes made up the bulk of that group, UCLA spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez said it also included applicants with skills in music and art. More than a third had grade point averages below 3.5, well under the 4.25 median GPA for all admitted freshmen that year. The GPAs of another quarter of admits are listed as “missing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Extraordinary talent of any sort, athletic or otherwise, can limit a student’s ability to meet eligibility requirements because of the time commitments some of those activities may involve,” Vazquez wrote in a statement to CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA has long used admission by exception for athletic recruitment. Its officials told the NCAA in a 2011 report that about half of all student-athletes were admitted via the policy—including 85 percent of football players on scholarship—compared with fewer than two percent of incoming freshmen overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c4f696f0-2859-4cc9-b238-021e13c0acf3?src=embed\" title=\"UCLA Admissions by Exception\" width=\"800\" height=\"1674\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The practice is not without risks.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>UC Berkeley \u003ca href=\"https://www.mercurynews.com/2014/10/29/80-percent-of-cal-recruits-must-have-3-0-gpa-by-2017-18/\">overhauled\u003c/a> its admissions process for athletes five years ago after revelations that graduation rates on its men’s football and basketball teams ranked last in the country. But UCLA officials \u003ca href=\"http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/ucla/genrel/auto_pdf/2011-12/misc_non_event/1112.pdf\">wrote in 2011\u003c/a> that “given UCLA’s highly competitive academic reality for admitting first-year students in general, there is no real alternative…if UCLA is to compete athletically with any success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Recruits recommended by coaches must be reviewed for admission by exception only if they lack the minimum qualifications for UC. Those include earning a C or better in each of a sequence of college prep courses, including four years of English and three years of math; averaging at least a 3.0 GPA; and taking the SAT or ACT.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA’s admission practices have come under scrutiny since soccer coach Jorge Salcedo was ensnared in the nationwide college admissions scandal, charged with accepting $200,000 in bribes from wealthy families to recruit their children as players. \u003ca href=\"https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2019-07-20/la-sp-ucla-athlete-recruits-children-coaches-admissions-20190721\">A recent Los Angeles Times investigation\u003c/a> identified a handful of students with close ties to athletics department employees who were recruited as athletes despite appearing to have little experience in their sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vazquez declined to comment on whether admissions by exception played a role in those cases, citing student privacy. He said the university is reviewing its use of the policy, which has become increasingly limited to unusually talented students as UCLA has grown in popularity: For some years, it has received more applications than any other university in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>UC Riverside: Homeschooler Advantage\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11767096\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/UC-Riverside-800x400.jpg\" alt=\"UC Riverside’s 'exceptional' admissions include athletes, disadvantaged students and homeschoolers.\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11767096\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/UC-Riverside-800x400.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/UC-Riverside-160x80.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/UC-Riverside-1020x510.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/UC-Riverside-1200x600.jpg 1200w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/08/UC-Riverside.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC Riverside’s ‘exceptional’ admissions include athletes, disadvantaged students and homeschoolers. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Like UCLA, UC Riverside fields Division 1 sports teams, but campus policy limits the number of athletes admitted by exception to 1% of each entering class.

Those requirements can be waived, however, if a special faculty review committee signs off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eddie Comeaux, a professor of higher education at UC Riverside, said such committees sometimes fail to adequately assess whether students they’re admitting have the skills and support to succeed at the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation=\"Tasha Boerner-Horvath, California assemblymember (D, San Diego)\"]‘It’s a more subjective admissions process than the rest of admissions.

All but about a dozen were athletes or possessed other special talents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While athletes made up the bulk of that group, UCLA spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez said it also included applicants with skills in music and art. More than a third had grade point averages below 3.5, well under the 4.25 median GPA for all admitted freshmen that year. The GPAs of another quarter of admits are listed as “missing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Extraordinary talent of any sort, athletic or otherwise, can limit a student’s ability to meet eligibility requirements because of the time commitments some of those activities may involve,” Vazquez wrote in a statement to CalMatters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA has long used admission by exception for athletic recruitment.
