"content": "\u003cp>Nonresident enrollment will be capped at UC Berkeley and UCLA in the fall to address concerns that California students are being displaced. But the university system also does not plan to admit more residents to any of its campuses unless it gets more state funding, university President Janet Napolitano says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano told lawmakers on Tuesday during a budget hearing in Sacramento that UC's two flagship campuses will not be allowed to increase the percentage of out-of-state and international undergraduates they enroll during the next academic year. Nonresidents made up 20 percent of the undergraduates at UCLA last fall and 23 percent at Berkeley during the last academic year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The two schools where the number of out-of-state students really rubs people raw are Berkeley and UCLA because they are in the highest demand,\" she said. \"For the '15-16 school year, we will maintain the current level of out-of-state enrollment with no such guarantee for the other campuses of the University of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has been admitting more students from outside California to generate revenue because those students pay much higher tuition — $35,070 compared with the $12,192 charged to residents. Systemwide, their numbers have more than doubled in four years. Along with UCLA and Berkeley, nonresident enrollment also has increased rapidly at UC San Diego, where students from outside California accounted for one in five undergraduates in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trend has emerged as a sticking point in negotiations over the university's budget. In November, Napolitano proposed raising tuition by 5 percent this fall and expanding undergraduate enrollment by 3,000 — one-third of the slots for Californians and two-thirds for students from abroad and out of state. Gov. Jerry Brown, however, has threatened to withhold about $120 million in state funds unless the university keeps both its tuition rates and nonresident enrollment flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the March window for notifying prospective freshmen if they have been admitted now open and the funding issue unresolved, Napolitano said the university now plans not to add any new seats for Californians next year. The nine UC campuses that serve undergraduates had 161,230 in-state students enrolled last year, the most recent period for which statistics were available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the past, we have admitted more California residents than we were funded for,\" she said. \"We are not in a position to do that in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, who has proposed increasing nonresident tuition by $5,000 next year as a way of augmenting the university's budget so more in-state students could be accommodated, said she was frustrated by Napolitano's remarks, noting that the university still was planning to serve more out-of-state students, albeit not at UCLA or Berkeley. .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Proposing a cap on out-of-state students at two UC campuses, while increasing out-of-state enrollment overall, does not solve the problem,\" Atkins said. \"UC's job is to educate California students, not wait-list them.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

But the university system also does not plan to admit more residents to any of its campuses unless it gets more state funding, university President Janet Napolitano says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano told lawmakers on Tuesday during a budget hearing in Sacramento that UC's two flagship campuses will not be allowed to increase the percentage of out-of-state and international undergraduates they enroll during the next academic year. Nonresidents made up 20 percent of the undergraduates at UCLA last fall and 23 percent at Berkeley during the last academic year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The two schools where the number of out-of-state students really rubs people raw are Berkeley and UCLA because they are in the highest demand,\" she said. \"For the '15-16 school year, we will maintain the current level of out-of-state enrollment with no such guarantee for the other campuses of the University of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has been admitting more students from outside California to generate revenue because those students pay much higher tuition — $35,070 compared with the $12,192 charged to residents. Systemwide, their numbers have more than doubled in four years. Along with UCLA and Berkeley, nonresident enrollment also has increased rapidly at UC San Diego, where students from outside California accounted for one in five undergraduates in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trend has emerged as a sticking point in negotiations over the university's budget. In November, Napolitano proposed raising tuition by 5 percent this fall and expanding undergraduate enrollment by 3,000 — one-third of the slots for Californians and two-thirds for students from abroad and out of state. Gov. Jerry Brown, however, has threatened to withhold about $120 million in state funds unless the university keeps both its tuition rates and nonresident enrollment flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The nine UC campuses that serve undergraduates had 161,230 in-state students enrolled last year, the most recent period for which statistics were available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"In the past, we have admitted more California residents than we were funded for,\" she said. \"We are not in a position to do that in the future.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins, who has proposed increasing nonresident tuition by $5,000 next year as a way of augmenting the university's budget so more in-state students could be accommodated, said she was frustrated by Napolitano's remarks, noting that the university still was planning to serve more out-of-state students, albeit not at UCLA or Berkeley. .\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Proposing a cap on out-of-state students at two UC campuses, while increasing out-of-state enrollment overall, does not solve the problem,\" Atkins said. \"UC's job is to educate California students, not wait-list them.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But here are the big questions the University of California is being asked, and some of them are doozies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Why Has UC Spending Gone Up So Much?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative staff \u003ca href=\"http://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/sites/abgt.assembly.ca.gov/files/UC%20Feb%2018%20agenda.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">has been digging through the university system's spending documents for weeks\u003c/a>, and still doesn't have a totally clear picture of the reason the total UC budget is now $26.9 billion. That's a 40 percent increase from the last pre-recession year of 2007-08 until 2014-15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, consider some other government services at that same seven-year mark: court funding has been cut by 3 percent; the state's social services have been cut by 22 percent; even the California State University system's increased spending was smaller, at 24 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costs clearly vary by which of the 10 UC campuses is being examined. UCLA, for example, has a budget about 10 times the size of UC Santa Cruz. Even so, legislative budget experts have highlighted particularly big systemwide expenses, from a 99 percent increase in spending on health sciences instruction (medical and other specialty schools) to a 68 percent increase in spending on the five UC-run hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One huge cost these days: paying for UC employee pensions. The university, with the blessing of state officials, stopped putting money into its pension system for almost 20 years. Now, those pension obligations are costing about $1.3 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a lot more to sort out. Of the $26.9 billion budget for the university system, only $6.9 billion has been identified as being spent on \"core\" operations, like teaching. Getting details on that other $20 billion in costs will no doubt be high on the to-do list at the state Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Are out-of-state students crowding out California kids?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is perhaps one of the most intense public debates out there, and it's rooted in money. During the state's recession years, when lawmakers cut general taxpayer support for the UC system, the schools boosted their non-Californian population and the amount it pays in tuition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the seven years examined by legislative researchers, UC's in-state student body grew by 4 percent; its out-of-state student body grew by … take a breath here ... \u003cem>a whopping 253 percent\u003c/em>. Each one of those non-resident students now pays $22,878 more than an in-state student.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>University leaders have insisted that it hasn't meant fewer slots for Californians, but legislators have sounded skeptical in early Sacramento hearings on UC's funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. What should be considered a \"competitive salary\" for a UC employee?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a six-year timespan ending in 2013, the University of California doubled the number of employees who earn $200,000 or more. Now, before you go grab a pitchfork and storm Sather Gate, it's important to note that some of these positions aren't paid out of state taxpayer funds, and UC officials have told the Legislature that much of the growth in this high-paid tier of workers is in the UC health and hospital faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the publicly available data isn't clear about who's paid from which pots of money. And even then, legislators are asking tough questions about how UC officials consider what a fair salary should be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example: Should UC base its salary offers on what both public and private universities pay? And in the case of some managers, UC bases salary on positions with both education and non-education employers -- including Fortune 500 companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the legislative staff report puts it:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>Competing with private universities and large corporations, while maintaining a public mission to sustain access to higher education for low-income students and remaining affordable to all students, is a significant challenge.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4. Are students paying for teaching ... or research?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of California's campuses pride themselves on a faculty \u003ca href=\"http://www.ucla.edu/about/mission-and-values\" target=\"_blank\">committed to education, research and public service\u003c/a>. But as cost pressures have risen and fewer classes have sometimes been offered, a debate has arisen about \u003ca href=\"http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~schwrtz/Part_22.html\" target=\"_blank\">whether the state can afford for UC faculty to spend as much time on research\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some say it's a unfair cost being borne on the backs of undergraduates and their families. And while UC officials have told legislators that research cost about $4 billion in 2013-14 from all funding sources, the Assembly budget subcommittee's staff report says tracking that spending is not easy ... and that UC officials are still compiling information about who's actually teaching undergraduate classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5. Why shouldn't state lawmakers impose more rules on UC's use of taxpayer dollars?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This final question is one that the Assembly's budget staffers say is as fairly posed to Brown's administration and the Legislature as it is to anyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wouldn't be unusual, in a historical sense, for lawmakers to earmark more of the money they send to the UC system. But when the recession hit, and UC's share of the state budget shrank, the number of specific spending directives also shrank.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislative budget report says that the Brown administration has resisted efforts in recent years to lay out more marching orders for how the university spends the money from the state's general fund. But as the tension mounts in this \"more money or more tuition hikes\" showdown, it seems reasonable to ask whether more money should also come with more oversight -- even for a system of higher education \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/12/05/should-UC-independent-status-be-revoked/\" target=\"_blank\">that remains one of the most independent in the United States\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

"content": "\u003cp>It's a fact that, through the years, seems to come up only when there's some crisis on the campuses of the University of California -- a crisis that either the public or elected officials have concluded isn't being properly handled by the men and women who run the state's 146-year-old landmark institution of higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, the University of California has enormous independence from the government that funds it, an autonomy rare by comparison to other schools and one that's enshrined in the state constitution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But should it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We'll get another round of musing on that issue in 2015, as two state senators -- one Democrat, one Republican -- introduced a constitutional amendment this week to strip the UC system of that hallowed independence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It behooves us, and ultimately the voters, to revisit the concentrated power and autonomy of the UC Board of Regents which appears to be out of touch with average working-class families,\" said state Sen.

Having said all of that, the hurdles to actually making this happen are high: The bill would need a supermajority vote of support in both the Assembly and Senate, and then approval by voters as a ballot measure in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And again, what's fascinating is how many times the same kind of angst has come -- and gone -- over \u003ca href=\"http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/~ucalhist/archives_exhibits/masterplan/law2.html\" target=\"_blank\">UC's constitutional autonomy\u003c/a>. Its sibling system, the California State University, does not enjoy the same kind of elevated status. Only five other university systems in the United States have some legal independence from the political muscle of their respective legislatures and governors, with only that of the University of Michigan coming close to that given to UC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/28/local/me-uc28\" target=\"_blank\">roll back to the clock to 2009\u003c/a> if you want to find the last big push in Sacramento to zap the University of California's constitutional status. Then, it was also a fight over tuition and fees paid by students -- sprinkled with a dash of what lawmakers thought were overly generous salary and benefit packages being given to UC executives. One of the state senators involved in that effort \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/28/local/me-uc28\" target=\"_blank\">derided the University of California's leadership as running a \"fiefdom\" that wasn't accountable to the public\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And before that, historians will point out how picking a fight with one UC campus helped a washed-up actor become governor. \u003ca href=\"http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/06/08_reagan.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Ronald Reagan's promise to \"clean up the mess at Berkeley\" and its anti-war protests\u003c/a> helped him win the 1966 gubernatorial campaign against Gov. Pat Brown. Once in office, Reagan pressured UC regents to fire Berkeley's chancellor, Clark Kerr. That would have been a lot easier under the new SCA1, given that it calls for regents to be removed by state lawmakers before their terms have ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No doubt another governor, Gov. Pete Wilson, would have also liked to have that power in 1995 -- \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1995-07-21/news/mn-26379_1_regents-vote-affirmative-action-university-of-california-regents\" target=\"_blank\">when he lobbied UC regents to dismantle affirmative action policies at the university\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Schrag, one of \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/California.html?id=EIPF5yWu3a8C\" target=\"_blank\">California's most celebrated political writers\u003c/a>, was a critic of the 2009 plan to do away with UC's autonomy, \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/08/news/OE-SCHRAG8\" target=\"_blank\">pointing out at the time\u003c/a> previous threats from state lawmakers to academic freedom -- most notably, during the anti-Communist campaigns of the 1950s. Schrag thinks this new attempt is the wrong approach, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"UC's constitutional autonomy has been very useful,\" said Schrag earlier this week. He agrees that the university has often hurt its independence with \"self-serving practices, pretensions, and a lot of budgetary fudging,\" but argues the UC independent-or-not-independent debate is really just part of a much larger issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the inherent tension between the meritocratic and the democratic values of public higher education,\" said Schrag. \"Places like Berkeley, UCLA and [UC] San Diego are particularly afflicted by that tension. It's not often pretty, but I'm still surprised by how well the selective UCs have walked that line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the tension between the political and academic worlds is again on the rise. There are signs that, while publicly sizing each other up for a fight, lawmakers and UC's top brass realize that neither can outmuscle the other, and the legislation could simply be meant as a shot across UC's bow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, UC leaders face real pressures from Sacramento, including \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/johnmyers/status/539521116520202240\" target=\"_blank\">a new call\u003c/a> from Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) for a line-item review of the entire system's expenditures. And while UC still has its constitutional freedom, Brown and legislators could -- if things really got bad -- invoke a nuclear option: simply decrease UC's budget by the amount the regents increase tuition, a dollar-for-dollar cut. After all, while the university has independence in how it spends money, it still needs the state to actually give it the cash.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Having said all of that, the hurdles to actually making this happen are high: The bill would need a supermajority vote of support in both the Assembly and Senate, and then approval by voters as a ballot measure in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And again, what's fascinating is how many times the same kind of angst has come -- and gone -- over \u003ca href=\"http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/~ucalhist/archives_exhibits/masterplan/law2.html\" target=\"_blank\">UC's constitutional autonomy\u003c/a>. Its sibling system, the California State University, does not enjoy the same kind of elevated status. Only five other university systems in the United States have some legal independence from the political muscle of their respective legislatures and governors, with only that of the University of Michigan coming close to that given to UC.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/28/local/me-uc28\" target=\"_blank\">roll back to the clock to 2009\u003c/a> if you want to find the last big push in Sacramento to zap the University of California's constitutional status. Then, it was also a fight over tuition and fees paid by students -- sprinkled with a dash of what lawmakers thought were overly generous salary and benefit packages being given to UC executives. One of the state senators involved in that effort \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/may/28/local/me-uc28\" target=\"_blank\">derided the University of California's leadership as running a \"fiefdom\" that wasn't accountable to the public\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And before that, historians will point out how picking a fight with one UC campus helped a washed-up actor become governor. \u003ca href=\"http://berkeley.edu/news/media/releases/2004/06/08_reagan.shtml\" target=\"_blank\">Ronald Reagan's promise to \"clean up the mess at Berkeley\" and its anti-war protests\u003c/a> helped him win the 1966 gubernatorial campaign against Gov. Pat Brown. Once in office, Reagan pressured UC regents to fire Berkeley's chancellor, Clark Kerr. That would have been a lot easier under the new SCA1, given that it calls for regents to be removed by state lawmakers before their terms have ended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No doubt another governor, Gov. Pete Wilson, would have also liked to have that power in 1995 -- \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/1995-07-21/news/mn-26379_1_regents-vote-affirmative-action-university-of-california-regents\" target=\"_blank\">when he lobbied UC regents to dismantle affirmative action policies at the university\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Schrag, one of \u003ca href=\"http://books.google.com/books/about/California.html?id=EIPF5yWu3a8C\" target=\"_blank\">California's most celebrated political writers\u003c/a>, was a critic of the 2009 plan to do away with UC's autonomy, \u003ca href=\"http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jun/08/news/OE-SCHRAG8\" target=\"_blank\">pointing out at the time\u003c/a> previous threats from state lawmakers to academic freedom -- most notably, during the anti-Communist campaigns of the 1950s. Schrag thinks this new attempt is the wrong approach, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"UC's constitutional autonomy has been very useful,\" said Schrag earlier this week. He agrees that the university has often hurt its independence with \"self-serving practices, pretensions, and a lot of budgetary fudging,\" but argues the UC independent-or-not-independent debate is really just part of a much larger issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"That's the inherent tension between the meritocratic and the democratic values of public higher education,\" said Schrag. \"Places like Berkeley, UCLA and [UC] San Diego are particularly afflicted by that tension. It's not often pretty, but I'm still surprised by how well the selective UCs have walked that line.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, the tension between the political and academic worlds is again on the rise. There are signs that, while publicly sizing each other up for a fight, lawmakers and UC's top brass realize that neither can outmuscle the other, and the legislation could simply be meant as a shot across UC's bow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, UC leaders face real pressures from Sacramento, including \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/johnmyers/status/539521116520202240\" target=\"_blank\">a new call\u003c/a> from Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) for a line-item review of the entire system's expenditures. And while UC still has its constitutional freedom, Brown and legislators could -- if things really got bad -- invoke a nuclear option: simply decrease UC's budget by the amount the regents increase tuition, a dollar-for-dollar cut. After all, while the university has independence in how it spends money, it still needs the state to actually give it the cash.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The venture capital entity will have $250 million of university money to invest in UC startups. This investment model is unprecedented for UC, and it is raising some questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the goal of this new fund is to make money, according to UC Office of the President representative Dianne Klein. The University of California does need cash. Even with tuition increases and cut backs, the UC Office of the President predicts a \u003ca href=\"http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/nov13/f6attach.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">budget shortfall\u003c/a> of around $350 million by 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Klein says the investment strategy is about more than money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also hope that the fund will enrich the entrepreneurial culture of the university, it will continue to support basic research, and that it'll also enhance our technology commercialization,” Klein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Faculty like Joe Kiskis are concerned with the new investment strategy. He is a physics professor and representative of the UC Faculty Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like what's at stake is the mission of the university,\" Kiskis said. \"Is it going to be primarily to serve the people of California, or is it going to shift to be more like a private university and try to fund itself via schemes like this?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kiskis is referring to venture funds at private universities like Harvard and Stanford. He worries about conflicts of interest -- that professors will prioritize startups over teaching and push graduate students to work on products instead of basic research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says this is why UC used to have guidelines to prevent just this kind of investment. But UC President Janet Napolitano \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/27/janet-napolitano-hopes-uc-can-cash-in-on-companies-not-just-research/\" target=\"_blank\">rescinded those guidelines\u003c/a> earlier this year. Still, guidelines or not, Klein says the UC system intends to move forward responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As far as conflicts of interest go, there will be very strict guidelines that are put in place. I don't have a guideline to read to you yet because it's far too early,” Klein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new fund is technically independent even though UC will supply it with money and appoint an independent body of advisers. The fund is tentatively set to begin investing in January of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The venture capital entity will have $250 million of university money to invest in UC startups. This investment model is unprecedented for UC, and it is raising some questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the goal of this new fund is to make money, according to UC Office of the President representative Dianne Klein. The University of California does need cash. Even with tuition increases and cut backs, the UC Office of the President predicts a \u003ca href=\"http://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/nov13/f6attach.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">budget shortfall\u003c/a> of around $350 million by 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Klein says the investment strategy is about more than money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We also hope that the fund will enrich the entrepreneurial culture of the university, it will continue to support basic research, and that it'll also enhance our technology commercialization,” Klein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He is a physics professor and representative of the UC Faculty Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like what's at stake is the mission of the university,\" Kiskis said. \"Is it going to be primarily to serve the people of California, or is it going to shift to be more like a private university and try to fund itself via schemes like this?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kiskis is referring to venture funds at private universities like Harvard and Stanford. He worries about conflicts of interest -- that professors will prioritize startups over teaching and push graduate students to work on products instead of basic research.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says this is why UC used to have guidelines to prevent just this kind of investment. But UC President Janet Napolitano \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/08/27/janet-napolitano-hopes-uc-can-cash-in-on-companies-not-just-research/\" target=\"_blank\">rescinded those guidelines\u003c/a> earlier this year. Still, guidelines or not, Klein says the UC system intends to move forward responsibly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As far as conflicts of interest go, there will be very strict guidelines that are put in place. I don't have a guideline to read to you yet because it's far too early,” Klein said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new fund is technically independent even though UC will supply it with money and appoint an independent body of advisers. The fund is tentatively set to begin investing in January of 2016.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

State lawmakers are considering \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SCA5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCA5, a proposed constitutional amendment\u003c/a> that would give voters a chance to repeal parts of \u003ca href=\"http://vote96.sos.ca.gov/bp/209.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposition 209\u003c/a> and restore racial and gender preference in college admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1996, voters approved Prop. 209, which prohibits public institutions from granting preferential treatment to any group or individual in hiring, contracting and college admissions. Since then, admission offers to black students have dropped 49 percent at UC Berkeley and 16 percent at UCLA, two flagship campuses in the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, author of the proposed amendment, spoke with KQED “Newsroom” about why he is seeking to reinstate affirmative action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the master plan for the state of California, it clearly says that our institutions should reflect the diversity of the state. It is not doing that,” Hernandez said. “If we’re going to get prepared for the next century…we have to make sure we have a diverse population, but more importantly, a diverse workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez has tried amending Prop. 209 before. When he tried changing the law at the state level, the bills were vetoed by Govs. Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year the overall UC system is roughly 36 percent Asian, 28 percent white, 28 percent Latino and 4 percent African-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>[contextly_sidebar id=”83ea01e64d93b336e60007fe53f0b1b6″]\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current proposal by Hernandez has drawn fierce criticism from opponents of affirmative action, and an online petition is circulating to defeat it. Some of the sharpest comments have come from Asian-Americans who fear that, despite getting good grades, Asian students will be denied spots at California’s top colleges to make room for students of other ethnicities.\u003cbr>\n“I think the petition they’re signing on to is based on a lot of misinformation,” said Hernandez. “We’ve been getting calls into our office that their kids won’t get in because now there’s going to be quota systems. That’s not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Personal View\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This debate is especially interesting to me because I have personally experienced affirmative action on both sides of the fence. When I applied to UC Berkeley, well before the passage of Prop. 209, I was told by numerous people my Asian race would be a negative since Cal already had “enough Asians.” I was admitted anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> ‘This debate is especially interesting to me because I have personally experienced affirmative action on both sides of the fence.’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I graduated, my race would once again be a focal point. I was applying for my first professional job, and my ethnicity made me eligible to apply for a “diversity fellowship” at KQED Radio for a one-year reporting stint. Nearly 100 people applied, and I was offered the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was nearly 20 years ago, when there were far fewer Asian-Americans in the media. It was, and still is, a profession that needs to be diverse to effectively serve an increasingly diverse population. My experiences illustrate the complexity of the debate over affirmative action. When does it work? When does it fail? How do we go about creating equal opportunity when the roots of inequality are deep and not necessarily color-blind?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate has already passed the constitutional amendment by Sen. Hernandez. Next steps include whether the Assembly will take it up and where voters stand if it gets to the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Thuy Vu is the host of KQED “NEWSROOM,” a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.

State lawmakers are considering \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SCA5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCA5, a proposed constitutional amendment\u003c/a> that would give voters a chance to repeal parts of \u003ca href=\"http://vote96.sos.ca.gov/bp/209.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposition 209\u003c/a> and restore racial and gender preference in college admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1996, voters approved Prop. 209, which prohibits public institutions from granting preferential treatment to any group or individual in hiring, contracting and college admissions. Since then, admission offers to black students have dropped 49 percent at UC Berkeley and 16 percent at UCLA, two flagship campuses in the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, author of the proposed amendment, spoke with KQED “Newsroom” about why he is seeking to reinstate affirmative action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the master plan for the state of California, it clearly says that our institutions should reflect the diversity of the state. It is not doing that,” Hernandez said. “If we’re going to get prepared for the next century…we have to make sure we have a diverse population, but more importantly, a diverse workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When he tried changing the law at the state level, the bills were vetoed by Govs. Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year the overall UC system is roughly 36 percent Asian, 28 percent white, 28 percent Latino and 4 percent African-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current proposal by Hernandez has drawn fierce criticism from opponents of affirmative action, and an online petition is circulating to defeat it. Some of the sharpest comments have come from Asian-Americans who fear that, despite getting good grades, Asian students will be denied spots at California’s top colleges to make room for students of other ethnicities.\u003cbr>\n“I think the petition they’re signing on to is based on a lot of misinformation,” said Hernandez. “We’ve been getting calls into our office that their kids won’t get in because now there’s going to be quota systems. That’s not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Personal View\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This debate is especially interesting to me because I have personally experienced affirmative action on both sides of the fence. When I applied to UC Berkeley, well before the passage of Prop. 209, I was told by numerous people my Asian race would be a negative since Cal already had “enough Asians.” I was admitted anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> ‘This debate is especially interesting to me because I have personally experienced affirmative action on both sides of the fence.’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I graduated, my race would once again be a focal point. I was applying for my first professional job, and my ethnicity made me eligible to apply for a “diversity fellowship” at KQED Radio for a one-year reporting stint. Nearly 100 people applied, and I was offered the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was nearly 20 years ago, when there were far fewer Asian-Americans in the media. It was, and still is, a profession that needs to be diverse to effectively serve an increasingly diverse population. My experiences illustrate the complexity of the debate over affirmative action. When does it work? When does it fail? How do we go about creating equal opportunity when the roots of inequality are deep and not necessarily color-blind?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate has already passed the constitutional amendment by Sen. Hernandez. Next steps include whether the Assembly will take it up and where voters stand if it gets to the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Thuy Vu is the host of KQED “NEWSROOM,” a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.
