The strike was called last week by American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Local 3299, which represents 25,000 service workers, after the union and the university could not agree on a new contract and mediation efforts failed.",

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.",

Napolitano doesn't see that as a reasonable strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think a deterrence-based strategy when people are migrating out of desperation doesn't really work,\" Napolitano said. \"It may deter a few people at the margins, but when the factors contributing to the migration are widespread and serious, I don't think justifying a zero tolerance policy as a deterrent actually works.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On Building a Border Wall\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/08/22/homeland-security-secretary-border-walls-work-yuma-sector-proves-it-elaine-duke-column/586853001/\">has pointed to an Arizona policy\u003c/a> implemented while Napolitano was governor as a reason to build a border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, more than 800 people were arrested crossing into Yuma, Arizona, from Mexico. Congress approved a 20-foot-high, reinforced metal fence that stretches the length of Yuma. Crime immediately fell by double-digit rates \u003ca href=\"http://www.city-data.com/crime/crime-Yuma-Arizona.html\">in the area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano appeared with then-President George W. Bush and \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcnews.com/id/12851381/ns/politics/t/bush-visits-ground-zero-immigration-debate/#.W1X6kdVKjIU\">spoke in support of tough security measures\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Napolitano has said that building a similar structure along the entire border \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2016/02/22/intv-amanpour-janet-napolitano-trump-wall.cnn\">would not work\u003c/a>, a position she reiterated in her conversation with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Yuma sector is a very small sector along the southwest border,” Napolitano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's much smaller than say, for example, even the Tucson sector in Arizona. And when you think in terms of just actual cost ... as I said and have said for years ... show me a 50-foot wall and I’ll show you a 51-foot ladder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano emphasized a more holistic approach to border security as one with the best chance for success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to stop thinking about [border security] as simply a literal space, but really as a strategy that begins outside the borders of the United States, that includes the right level of manpower, the right kind of technology.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On Rescinding DACA\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Napolitano -- who helped implement the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as DHS secretary -- \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/us/politics/napolitano-sues-trump-to-save-daca-program-she-helped-create.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued President Trump\u003c/a> last year to preserve the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I began DACA when I was secretary ... I take it personally,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano said she took issue with Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ announcement rescinding DACA. While Sessions said that the rescission should not be seen as meaning DACA recipients are “bad people,” he also described DACA as a failure to enforce the laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Failure to enforce the laws in the past has put our nation at risk of crime, violence and even terrorism,” Sessions said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, studies of DACA and DACA-age recipients show this group commits crime at a lower rate than native-born United States citizens. These findings have held even in surveys conducted by \u003ca href=\"https://www.cato.org/publications/immigration-research-policy-brief/dreamer-incarceration-rate#full\">conservative think tanks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>”I thought the attorney general's announcement of the decision was just over the top also because he made comments about the qualities of DACA recipients, not recognizing that they are students, that they are in the military,” Napolitano said. “They have started and owned small businesses. They can't be a known gang member or a security threat or anything of that sort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano also pushed back on Sessions' and Trump’s claim that DACA was an overreach of the Obama administration that violated the lawmaking process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To simply say we're going to end it and then in kind of one line say because the program is illegal. ... It's not illegal,” Napolitano said. “It was done and created very carefully with lots of input from lawyers at the Department of Justice and at the White House.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Napolitano doesn't see that as a reasonable strategy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think a deterrence-based strategy when people are migrating out of desperation doesn't really work,\" Napolitano said. \"It may deter a few people at the margins, but when the factors contributing to the migration are widespread and serious, I don't think justifying a zero tolerance policy as a deterrent actually works.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On Building a Border Wall\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the Trump administration \u003ca href=\"https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2017/08/22/homeland-security-secretary-border-walls-work-yuma-sector-proves-it-elaine-duke-column/586853001/\">has pointed to an Arizona policy\u003c/a> implemented while Napolitano was governor as a reason to build a border wall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, more than 800 people were arrested crossing into Yuma, Arizona, from Mexico. Congress approved a 20-foot-high, reinforced metal fence that stretches the length of Yuma. Crime immediately fell by double-digit rates \u003ca href=\"http://www.city-data.com/crime/crime-Yuma-Arizona.html\">in the area\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano appeared with then-President George W. Bush and \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbcnews.com/id/12851381/ns/politics/t/bush-visits-ground-zero-immigration-debate/#.W1X6kdVKjIU\">spoke in support of tough security measures\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, Napolitano has said that building a similar structure along the entire border \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2016/02/22/intv-amanpour-janet-napolitano-trump-wall.cnn\">would not work\u003c/a>, a position she reiterated in her conversation with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The Yuma sector is a very small sector along the southwest border,” Napolitano said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's much smaller than say, for example, even the Tucson sector in Arizona. And when you think in terms of just actual cost ... as I said and have said for years ... show me a 50-foot wall and I’ll show you a 51-foot ladder.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano emphasized a more holistic approach to border security as one with the best chance for success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We need to stop thinking about [border security] as simply a literal space, but really as a strategy that begins outside the borders of the United States, that includes the right level of manpower, the right kind of technology.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>On Rescinding DACA\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Napolitano -- who helped implement the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program as DHS secretary -- \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/08/us/politics/napolitano-sues-trump-to-save-daca-program-she-helped-create.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sued President Trump\u003c/a> last year to preserve the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I began DACA when I was secretary ... I take it personally,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano said she took issue with Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ announcement rescinding DACA. While Sessions said that the rescission should not be seen as meaning DACA recipients are “bad people,” he also described DACA as a failure to enforce the laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Failure to enforce the laws in the past has put our nation at risk of crime, violence and even terrorism,” Sessions said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, studies of DACA and DACA-age recipients show this group commits crime at a lower rate than native-born United States citizens. These findings have held even in surveys conducted by \u003ca href=\"https://www.cato.org/publications/immigration-research-policy-brief/dreamer-incarceration-rate#full\">conservative think tanks\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>”I thought the attorney general's announcement of the decision was just over the top also because he made comments about the qualities of DACA recipients, not recognizing that they are students, that they are in the military,” Napolitano said. “They have started and owned small businesses. They can't be a known gang member or a security threat or anything of that sort.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano also pushed back on Sessions' and Trump’s claim that DACA was an overreach of the Obama administration that violated the lawmaking process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>As tribal archaeologist for the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians, Myra Masiel uses her UC Berkeley anthropology training daily. Her mission: track down skeletons of Native Californians extracted from gravesites over the last two centuries and shipped off to museums around the world, and return them to the tribe’s ancestral land near Temecula so they can be reburied with dignity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But lately that quest has put Masiel at odds with her alma mater.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The remains of thousands of Native Americans, along with possessions such as beads and fishhooks buried with them, now sit in drawers and boxes at University of California museums. Federal and state laws require their return to tribes able to prove a connection to them.

At UC Berkeley, by contrast, campus officials have designated more than 80 percent of the remains in its North American collection as “culturally unidentifiable”—a legal limbo that means researchers can study the bones without seeking permission from any tribe. Katz says that’s because they come from a broader range of places and time periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a basement room filled with white file boxes, UC Davis osteologist Michael Walters sorts through plastic bags full of bone fragments so small they look like wood chips. He’s searching for human bones that were mislabeled as animal, and sometimes he finds them—a body part from a child, for example, that was so small that an undergraduate in the 1960s decided it must have come from a bird.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walters is part of a three-person team hired by UC Davis to update its inventory of about 300 sets of Native American remains—finding additional bones that researchers in the past missed, and returning those that can be repatriated to tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human bones go to a separate room closed to the public and the press. There, black curtains cover the shelves that house the bodies, the lighting is dim, and there’s an area for tribal representatives to make religious offerings, according to staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walters wears gloves, and speaks to the bones while he works. “I do say hello and good morning to them, I apologize for colonialism,” he said. “My goal is to get that person home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even this process is controversial. The United Auburn Indian Community says its own claim for repatriation of remains and sacred items from UC Davis has dragged on for years, and objects to scientists handling the bones as disrespectful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scientists contend they must ensure there’s sufficient evidence to repatriate the bones—or they could be sued by anthropologists who want to study them. In 2012, Bettinger and two other UC scientists seeking DNA to study ancient migrations sued but failed to stop the university from transferring \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/02/science/tribes-win-in-fight-for-la-jolla-bones-clouds-hopes-for-dna-studies.html\">two 9,000-year-old skeletons\u003c/a> to the Kumeyaay tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC has not taken a position on Gloria’s bill, though Berkeley’s Katz said he’s “concerned that as written it will increase layers of bureaucracy and hobble our ability to act swiftly on the advice of the new (committee) we’ve established that is more representative and inclusive of Native American perspectives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the tribes await Senate action, Masiel continues her work. Last month, she flew to Europe to consult with a museum about remains that she says have ties to her people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tribe, we’re very patient,” she said. “We don’t forget.

At UC Berkeley, by contrast, campus officials have designated more than 80 percent of the remains in its North American collection as “culturally unidentifiable”—a legal limbo that means researchers can study the bones without seeking permission from any tribe. Katz says that’s because they come from a broader range of places and time periods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a basement room filled with white file boxes, UC Davis osteologist Michael Walters sorts through plastic bags full of bone fragments so small they look like wood chips. He’s searching for human bones that were mislabeled as animal, and sometimes he finds them—a body part from a child, for example, that was so small that an undergraduate in the 1960s decided it must have come from a bird.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walters is part of a three-person team hired by UC Davis to update its inventory of about 300 sets of Native American remains—finding additional bones that researchers in the past missed, and returning those that can be repatriated to tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Human bones go to a separate room closed to the public and the press. There, black curtains cover the shelves that house the bodies, the lighting is dim, and there’s an area for tribal representatives to make religious offerings, according to staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Walters wears gloves, and speaks to the bones while he works. “I do say hello and good morning to them, I apologize for colonialism,” he said. “My goal is to get that person home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even this process is controversial. The United Auburn Indian Community says its own claim for repatriation of remains and sacred items from UC Davis has dragged on for years, and objects to scientists handling the bones as disrespectful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scientists contend they must ensure there’s sufficient evidence to repatriate the bones—or they could be sued by anthropologists who want to study them. In 2012, Bettinger and two other UC scientists seeking DNA to study ancient migrations sued but failed to stop the university from transferring \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/02/science/tribes-win-in-fight-for-la-jolla-bones-clouds-hopes-for-dna-studies.html\">two 9,000-year-old skeletons\u003c/a> to the Kumeyaay tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC has not taken a position on Gloria’s bill, though Berkeley’s Katz said he’s “concerned that as written it will increase layers of bureaucracy and hobble our ability to act swiftly on the advice of the new (committee) we’ve established that is more representative and inclusive of Native American perspectives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the tribes await Senate action, Masiel continues her work. Last month, she flew to Europe to consult with a museum about remains that she says have ties to her people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The tribe, we’re very patient,” she said. “We don’t forget. I will continue to fight for these people until they get returned back to where they came from.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>California’s public universities will get an infusion of cash to increase enrollment, smooth students’ progress toward graduation and repair aging buildings under a state budget agreement reached Friday by Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement, which still must be approved by the full Legislature and signed by the governor to take effect, boosts annual funding for California State University by $197 million and the University of California by $97 million. It comes in the wake of months of fervent lobbying by students, faculty and administrators after Brown proposed a less generous higher education budget in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC spokesperson Dianne Klein said the agreement, while still tentative, “will allow UC to put off a tuition increase for California students and provide much needed funds for deferred maintenance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two university systems will also each receive more than $160 million in one-time money under the agreement, some of which is targeted for specific programs including fighting student hunger and providing legal services for undocumented students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This investment will enable the CSU to enroll more students from a wide variety of backgrounds, and prepare them to improve their communities and lead the industries that are driving California,” California State University Chancellor Tim White said in a statement. “This is vital to our state’s future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White had already taken a tuition increase for CSU off the table in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget projects that CSU will enroll more than 3,600 additional students in the coming year, while UC adds 2,000. It sets aside $75 million to fund an ongoing effort by CSU to boost the percentage of students who graduate in four years to 40 percent by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it gives each university system $35 million for repairs to campuses, where overcrowded classrooms, outdated equipment and leaky buildings sometimes \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/crowded-crumbling-campuses-will-one-time-cash-infusion-be-enough-to-fix-the-university-of-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interfere with learning\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compromise represents a sea change from a few months ago when Brown was insisting he would not agree to more than a 3 percent funding increase for UC and CSU, and both universities were considering tuition hikes to close the gap. Though California posted higher revenues than expected this year, Brown has kept a tight hold on state purse strings, wary of what he views as an inevitable recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From a $27 billion deficit in 2011, the state now enjoys a healthy surplus and a solid Rainy Day Fund,” the governor tweeted Friday in announcing the $200 billion budget deal, which would keep the state running through the 2018-19 fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Max Lubin, a UC Berkeley graduate student who heads up the student advocacy group RISE, credited a united front among students and university administrators with helping to sway lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s an accomplishment we’re very proud of,” he said. “I hope we can show students not just here but across the county that when we organize and make our voices heard, we can reverse this vicious cycle of tuition hikes and start restoring California and the nation’s investment in students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s community colleges will also see two major changes under the agreement: the establishment of a new, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/community-college-online-gov-browns-plan-re-imagines-cyber-learning-faces-skeptics/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fully online college\u003c/a> and a shift to funding campuses based not just on how many students they enroll. Both are high priorities for the governor and community colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley that sparked fierce opposition among some faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argued that the online college, which is aimed at giving adult workers short-term credentials that will help them advance in their careers, duplicated work already being done on brick-and-mortar campuses and might not give students the support they needed to succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal lawmakers negotiated will give $35 million to improve online courses at existing colleges, on top of the $120 million set aside for the new college. The online school will be required to develop programs that help students continue their education on a physical campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakley called the plan “a good compromise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a recognition that the community colleges need to serve more and different kinds of Californians, and that the economy and workforce continue to change,” he said. “We think this will be a great thing for California workers, and we can’t wait to get started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jonathan Lightman, executive director of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, said it was “extremely disappointing” that the agreement didn’t include stricter oversight to ensure the online college didn’t compete with existing campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faculty association “continues to believe that the online, hybrid and traditional college courses that are offered by our institutions, whether they be credit or non-credit, have greater merit than a separate fully online college that is not anchored in the community,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakley also acknowledged that debate over the controversial new funding formula would continue past the June 15 deadline for the Legislature to pass a budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, community colleges received funding based solely on how many students they enrolled. The new formula replaces that with a combination of total enrollment, the number of low-income students on campus and how well colleges perform on a range of measures including awarding degrees and preparing students for transfer to four-year universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

Jerry Brown and legislative leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement, which still must be approved by the full Legislature and signed by the governor to take effect, boosts annual funding for California State University by $197 million and the University of California by $97 million. It comes in the wake of months of fervent lobbying by students, faculty and administrators after Brown proposed a less generous higher education budget in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC spokesperson Dianne Klein said the agreement, while still tentative, “will allow UC to put off a tuition increase for California students and provide much needed funds for deferred maintenance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two university systems will also each receive more than $160 million in one-time money under the agreement, some of which is targeted for specific programs including fighting student hunger and providing legal services for undocumented students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This investment will enable the CSU to enroll more students from a wide variety of backgrounds, and prepare them to improve their communities and lead the industries that are driving California,” California State University Chancellor Tim White said in a statement. “This is vital to our state’s future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It sets aside $75 million to fund an ongoing effort by CSU to boost the percentage of students who graduate in four years to 40 percent by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it gives each university system $35 million for repairs to campuses, where overcrowded classrooms, outdated equipment and leaky buildings sometimes \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/crowded-crumbling-campuses-will-one-time-cash-infusion-be-enough-to-fix-the-university-of-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interfere with learning\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compromise represents a sea change from a few months ago when Brown was insisting he would not agree to more than a 3 percent funding increase for UC and CSU, and both universities were considering tuition hikes to close the gap. Though California posted higher revenues than expected this year, Brown has kept a tight hold on state purse strings, wary of what he views as an inevitable recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From a $27 billion deficit in 2011, the state now enjoys a healthy surplus and a solid Rainy Day Fund,” the governor tweeted Friday in announcing the $200 billion budget deal, which would keep the state running through the 2018-19 fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Max Lubin, a UC Berkeley graduate student who heads up the student advocacy group RISE, credited a united front among students and university administrators with helping to sway lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s an accomplishment we’re very proud of,” he said. “I hope we can show students not just here but across the county that when we organize and make our voices heard, we can reverse this vicious cycle of tuition hikes and start restoring California and the nation’s investment in students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s community colleges will also see two major changes under the agreement: the establishment of a new, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/community-college-online-gov-browns-plan-re-imagines-cyber-learning-faces-skeptics/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fully online college\u003c/a> and a shift to funding campuses based not just on how many students they enroll. Both are high priorities for the governor and community colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley that sparked fierce opposition among some faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argued that the online college, which is aimed at giving adult workers short-term credentials that will help them advance in their careers, duplicated work already being done on brick-and-mortar campuses and might not give students the support they needed to succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal lawmakers negotiated will give $35 million to improve online courses at existing colleges, on top of the $120 million set aside for the new college. The online school will be required to develop programs that help students continue their education on a physical campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakley called the plan “a good compromise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a recognition that the community colleges need to serve more and different kinds of Californians, and that the economy and workforce continue to change,” he said. “We think this will be a great thing for California workers, and we can’t wait to get started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jonathan Lightman, executive director of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, said it was “extremely disappointing” that the agreement didn’t include stricter oversight to ensure the online college didn’t compete with existing campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faculty association “continues to believe that the online, hybrid and traditional college courses that are offered by our institutions, whether they be credit or non-credit, have greater merit than a separate fully online college that is not anchored in the community,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakley also acknowledged that debate over the controversial new funding formula would continue past the June 15 deadline for the Legislature to pass a budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, community colleges received funding based solely on how many students they enrolled. The new formula replaces that with a combination of total enrollment, the number of low-income students on campus and how well colleges perform on a range of measures including awarding degrees and preparing students for transfer to four-year universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

"content": "\u003cp>The message popped into UC Berkeley sophomore Varsha Sarveshwar’s inbox a few days before the start of her Introduction to General Astronomy course in the fall of her freshman year. It contained the usual details about class times and textbooks. But then there was something surprising: a plea from the professor to skip the first day of class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d like to encourage at least 200 of you NOT to come to Hertz Hall the first two lectures, and simply watch them on webcast instead,” professor Alex Filippenko wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While 850 students were enrolled in the course, the lecture hall could hold only 650, Filippenko explained. The fire marshal might shut down the class if too many people attended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message from Filippenko — a celebrated astrophysicist whose popular course also satisfies a graduation requirement — illustrates the challenges the University of California faces as it squeezes growing numbers of students onto overcrowded campuses with deteriorating buildings and equipment. Over the past two decades, as state funding for higher education declined, California’s public research university increased class sizes, sometimes failed to maintain basic infrastructure like roofs and cooling systems, and put off construction projects — even as it enrolled an additional 90,000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result is a deferred maintenance backlog that \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/support-uc/ucan/state-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC estimates at $4 billion\u003c/a> and fears among faculty and administrators that the system, once the envy of the rest of the country, is beginning to lose its luster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It has a growing impact,” UC President Janet Napolitano told CALmatters. “We need the state to reinvest in the university. We need to be able to have new labs. We need to be able to refresh the labs we have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gov. Jerry Brown seemed to hear her plea on Friday when he added to his proposed 2018-19 budget a one-time infusion of $100 million each for UC and California State University to make campus repairs. The funds are part of a larger effort to upgrade the state’s ailing infrastructure. But they will cover only a fraction of the backlog and don’t account for the university’s long-term need for new buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s proposing a Band-Aid on a massive capital deficit wound,” said state Sen. Steve Glazer, an Orinda Democrat who wants to put a proposition on the November ballot asking voters to support $4 billion in bond funding for the two universities to build classrooms and labs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC’s Grad Slam competition May 3, top graduate students from each of the university’s 10 campuses faced off to see who could best explain their research in three minutes or less.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kimberley Kanani Bitterwolf, the UC Santa Cruz finalist, studies the chemistry of rivers and groundwater to understand how the Earth’s climate has changed over time. Her research could prove helpful in predicting the effects of global warming — but she’s had to conduct much of it in Germany, because UC Santa Cruz lacked the pricey equipment she needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When she’s in Santa Cruz, Bitterwolf said, she makes the hourlong drive to a San Jose nonprofit that collects donated equipment from biotech companies, picking up pipette tips and other supplies that she can’t get on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I call it thrifting for science,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other students, faculty and administrators from multiple UC campuses described sweltering classrooms and leaky labs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The building I work in needs a roof and it actually rains inside the building,” said Frances Leslie, dean of the graduate division at UC Irvine and a pharmacologist who studies how tobacco use affects the brain. “That’s not good for research and it’s not good for students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11670036\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11670036\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Calmatters_UC-Riverside-23-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Calmatters_UC-Riverside-23-600x400.jpg 600w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Calmatters_UC-Riverside-23-600x400-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Calmatters_UC-Riverside-23-600x400-240x160.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Calmatters_UC-Riverside-23-600x400-375x250.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/05/Calmatters_UC-Riverside-23-600x400-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Broken, leaking and unusable bathrooms are not an uncommon sight for students at UC Riverside. \u003ccite>(James Bernal for CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Just how bad the problem is has been difficult to quantify. UC professors still conduct cutting-edge research in state-of-the-art laboratories, but those exist side by side with outdated and neglected buildings. Resources vary widely among campuses and departments, with some of the most popular and prestigious programs hit hard by overcrowding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university is spending $15 million to send a team of experts to assess the condition of facilities on each campus, a study that won’t be complete until 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why so lengthy and costly? It’s an “ambitious project that includes not only having someone visually assess every square foot of UC buildings and infrastructure but using that information to make reliable, consistent estimates of both current and future needs,” UC spokeswoman Claire Doan replied in an email. She added that it would produce a deferred maintenance forecast for about 64 million square feet of state-supported space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the state is flush with cash from higher-than-expected tax revenues, Brown has repeatedly warned of a coming recession. Instead of adding to California’s ongoing expenses, he wants to spend part of the $9 billion surplus on one-time projects and sock the rest away in the state’s rainy day fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference announcing the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/an-ungiddy-governor-proposes-stashing-most-of-states-surplus-and-spending-on-one-time-expenses/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">governor’s revised budget proposal\u003c/a>, his finance director, Michael Cohen, said the new infrastructure spending was “an acknowledgement that we have not done well as a state in keeping up with our maintenance needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what we can afford right now to try to chip away at that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature could vote by June on whether to put a higher education bond on the ballot. The last time that happened was 2006. In a poll conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California last year, a majority of likely voters said they’d vote yes on such a measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the challenge is figuring out just how much enrollment at UC should grow. A \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-dream-thousands-college-hopefuls-could-leave-never-return/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">growing number\u003c/a> of California’s high school graduates meet the eligibility requirements to attend.

Spending plunged in 2010 and has not bounced back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Private donations can help fund marquee projects like a new performing arts center, or profit-sharing ventures like a parking garage. But the less-glamorous task of building and maintaining classrooms usually requires public dollars, said Patrick Murphy, a senior fellow at PPIC who studies capital spending in higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one’s lining up to put their plaque on the air conditioning unit,” Murphy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects can be seen on campuses such as UC Davis, where students say they sometimes sweat their way through classes in rooms that lack working air conditioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having to teach in those spaces is hugely uncomfortable,” said graduate student association president Roy Taggueg, adding that temperatures during spring finals week often climb into the 90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourth-year student Alondra Cruz said it was so hot in her Mexican-American history class that the professor converted the midterm and final to take-home exams so students could concentrate. “At times I would be sweating so much that I’d be focused on that and not on the lecture,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As enrollment grew by more than 20 percent over the last decade, the campus has commandeered an exercise room and even a theater to use for classes. “It works pretty well, except depending on what sort of performances are happening, the instructor doesn’t know what’s going to be set up on the stage,” said Kelly Ratliff, the campus’s vice chancellor for operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ratliff said UC Davis has found creative ways to finance new classroom space, sandwiching it into projects funded by private donations, such as the new Manetti Shrem Museum of Art. Each winter, as rainwater leaks into the nearly 50-year-old Briggs Hall, campus officials strategize about how to protect the delicate biological experiments taking place there. A reroofing project is in progress, but it’s unclear when the university will be able to complete it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Plugging a hole isn’t the same thing as solving the problem,” Ratliff said. “But without a full funding model, more often than we’d like, we’re just plugging the hole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Riverside, second-year student Emelia Martinez said it’s common for classes to have dozens of students standing or huddled on the floor because there are no seats available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are students that are paying tuition, and they are sitting on the floor,” Martinez said. “We really can’t continue like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lower-division class sizes have increased slowly but steadily systemwide since 2006, UC officials say. UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ told the university’s board of regents in January that lower-division lectures in the electrical engineering and computer science department had ballooned from an average of 65 students in the 2011-2012 school year to 227 in 2016-17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s legislative analyst \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2018/3748/higher-ed-analysis-021518.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a> that some of UC’s existing classrooms are underused, although student leaders insist that’s because rooms on older campuses like Berkeley and UCLA can be too small for today’s class sizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university plans to build new classrooms at UC Davis and Riverside beginning this year, plus make seismic safety improvements to buildings at UCSF and UC Berkeley — both of which sit on or near major fault lines. UC can finance construction using its regular budget allocation from the state, which Brown has proposed boosting by 3 percent. University officials say that’s not enough, and are asking for another $105 million to cope with growing enrollment and avoid raising tuition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While dozens of legislators have pledged their support for the request, others are wary after a state audit last year found Napolitano’s office had kept $175 million in reserve funds hidden from the public. The university came under further pressure last week when tens of thousands of campus service workers walked off the job in protest of outsourcing and what they described as racial and gender pay inequities among workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As legislators, it’s difficult for us to decide on a budget package for the University of California as UC administrators impose such harsh terms on its lowest-paid frontline workers,” Assembly Appropriations Committee chair Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher wrote in a pointed letter to UC just before the strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, overcrowding is not just an issue of physical space: Campuses also need enough professors and teaching assistants to cover rising demand, especially in popular departments. But faculty and administrators say the two issues are linked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to recruit the very best minds from California and across the world,” said Carol Genetti, dean of graduate studies at UC Santa Barbara. But top students, she said, are looking for a graduate school that can offer them high-quality facilities and generous stipends. “When they come to visit campus, if we can’t show them that we can do that, we’re at a significant disadvantage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filippenko, the UC Berkeley astronomy professor, said he intentionally over-enrolls his classes to help students who are desperate to meet graduation requirements. When the observatory where he and his students perform research was threatened with closure, he organized to save it, helping to win a partial reprieve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former Guggenheim fellow and member of the National Academy of Sciences, Filippenko said he has received job offers from elite universities where he’d have more telescope time and a smaller teaching load.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I stay in part because I so firmly believe that we need a great public university,” he said. “People need to take the long view and support this amazing system that we have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters’ Laurel Rosenhall contributed reporting.

It contained the usual details about class times and textbooks. But then there was something surprising: a plea from the professor to skip the first day of class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’d like to encourage at least 200 of you NOT to come to Hertz Hall the first two lectures, and simply watch them on webcast instead,” professor Alex Filippenko wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While 850 students were enrolled in the course, the lecture hall could hold only 650, Filippenko explained. The fire marshal might shut down the class if too many people attended.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The message from Filippenko — a celebrated astrophysicist whose popular course also satisfies a graduation requirement — illustrates the challenges the University of California faces as it squeezes growing numbers of students onto overcrowded campuses with deteriorating buildings and equipment. Over the past two decades, as state funding for higher education declined, California’s public research university increased class sizes, sometimes failed to maintain basic infrastructure like roofs and cooling systems, and put off construction projects — even as it enrolled an additional 90,000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The result is a deferred maintenance backlog that \u003ca href=\"https://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/support-uc/ucan/state-budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UC estimates at $4 billion\u003c/a> and fears among faculty and administrators that the system, once the envy of the rest of the country, is beginning to lose its luster.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jerry Brown seemed to hear her plea on Friday when he added to his proposed 2018-19 budget a one-time infusion of $100 million each for UC and California State University to make campus repairs.

UC professors still conduct cutting-edge research in state-of-the-art laboratories, but those exist side by side with outdated and neglected buildings. Resources vary widely among campuses and departments, with some of the most popular and prestigious programs hit hard by overcrowding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university is spending $15 million to send a team of experts to assess the condition of facilities on each campus, a study that won’t be complete until 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Why so lengthy and costly? It’s an “ambitious project that includes not only having someone visually assess every square foot of UC buildings and infrastructure but using that information to make reliable, consistent estimates of both current and future needs,” UC spokeswoman Claire Doan replied in an email. She added that it would produce a deferred maintenance forecast for about 64 million square feet of state-supported space.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the state is flush with cash from higher-than-expected tax revenues, Brown has repeatedly warned of a coming recession. Instead of adding to California’s ongoing expenses, he wants to spend part of the $9 billion surplus on one-time projects and sock the rest away in the state’s rainy day fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a press conference announcing the \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/an-ungiddy-governor-proposes-stashing-most-of-states-surplus-and-spending-on-one-time-expenses/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">governor’s revised budget proposal\u003c/a>, his finance director, Michael Cohen, said the new infrastructure spending was “an acknowledgement that we have not done well as a state in keeping up with our maintenance needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is what we can afford right now to try to chip away at that,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Legislature could vote by June on whether to put a higher education bond on the ballot. The last time that happened was 2006. In a poll conducted by the Public Policy Institute of California last year, a majority of likely voters said they’d vote yes on such a measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the challenge is figuring out just how much enrollment at UC should grow. A \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-dream-thousands-college-hopefuls-could-leave-never-return/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">growing number\u003c/a> of California’s high school graduates meet the eligibility requirements to attend.

Spending plunged in 2010 and has not bounced back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Private donations can help fund marquee projects like a new performing arts center, or profit-sharing ventures like a parking garage. But the less-glamorous task of building and maintaining classrooms usually requires public dollars, said Patrick Murphy, a senior fellow at PPIC who studies capital spending in higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“No one’s lining up to put their plaque on the air conditioning unit,” Murphy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The effects can be seen on campuses such as UC Davis, where students say they sometimes sweat their way through classes in rooms that lack working air conditioning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having to teach in those spaces is hugely uncomfortable,” said graduate student association president Roy Taggueg, adding that temperatures during spring finals week often climb into the 90s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fourth-year student Alondra Cruz said it was so hot in her Mexican-American history class that the professor converted the midterm and final to take-home exams so students could concentrate. “At times I would be sweating so much that I’d be focused on that and not on the lecture,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As enrollment grew by more than 20 percent over the last decade, the campus has commandeered an exercise room and even a theater to use for classes. “It works pretty well, except depending on what sort of performances are happening, the instructor doesn’t know what’s going to be set up on the stage,” said Kelly Ratliff, the campus’s vice chancellor for operations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ratliff said UC Davis has found creative ways to finance new classroom space, sandwiching it into projects funded by private donations, such as the new Manetti Shrem Museum of Art. Each winter, as rainwater leaks into the nearly 50-year-old Briggs Hall, campus officials strategize about how to protect the delicate biological experiments taking place there. A reroofing project is in progress, but it’s unclear when the university will be able to complete it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Plugging a hole isn’t the same thing as solving the problem,” Ratliff said. “But without a full funding model, more often than we’d like, we’re just plugging the hole.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Riverside, second-year student Emelia Martinez said it’s common for classes to have dozens of students standing or huddled on the floor because there are no seats available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are students that are paying tuition, and they are sitting on the floor,” Martinez said. “We really can’t continue like this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lower-division class sizes have increased slowly but steadily systemwide since 2006, UC officials say. UC Berkeley Chancellor Carol Christ told the university’s board of regents in January that lower-division lectures in the electrical engineering and computer science department had ballooned from an average of 65 students in the 2011-2012 school year to 227 in 2016-17.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s legislative analyst \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2018/3748/higher-ed-analysis-021518.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported\u003c/a> that some of UC’s existing classrooms are underused, although student leaders insist that’s because rooms on older campuses like Berkeley and UCLA can be too small for today’s class sizes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university plans to build new classrooms at UC Davis and Riverside beginning this year, plus make seismic safety improvements to buildings at UCSF and UC Berkeley — both of which sit on or near major fault lines. UC can finance construction using its regular budget allocation from the state, which Brown has proposed boosting by 3 percent. University officials say that’s not enough, and are asking for another $105 million to cope with growing enrollment and avoid raising tuition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While dozens of legislators have pledged their support for the request, others are wary after a state audit last year found Napolitano’s office had kept $175 million in reserve funds hidden from the public. The university came under further pressure last week when tens of thousands of campus service workers walked off the job in protest of outsourcing and what they described as racial and gender pay inequities among workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As legislators, it’s difficult for us to decide on a budget package for the University of California as UC administrators impose such harsh terms on its lowest-paid frontline workers,” Assembly Appropriations Committee chair Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher wrote in a pointed letter to UC just before the strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, overcrowding is not just an issue of physical space: Campuses also need enough professors and teaching assistants to cover rising demand, especially in popular departments. But faculty and administrators say the two issues are linked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to recruit the very best minds from California and across the world,” said Carol Genetti, dean of graduate studies at UC Santa Barbara. But top students, she said, are looking for a graduate school that can offer them high-quality facilities and generous stipends. “When they come to visit campus, if we can’t show them that we can do that, we’re at a significant disadvantage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Filippenko, the UC Berkeley astronomy professor, said he intentionally over-enrolls his classes to help students who are desperate to meet graduation requirements. When the observatory where he and his students perform research was threatened with closure, he organized to save it, helping to win a partial reprieve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A former Guggenheim fellow and member of the National Academy of Sciences, Filippenko said he has received job offers from elite universities where he’d have more telescope time and a smaller teaching load.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I stay in part because I so firmly believe that we need a great public university,” he said. “People need to take the long view and support this amazing system that we have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters’ Laurel Rosenhall contributed reporting.

Several bills pending in the California Legislature would set aside resources for mental health care at the state’s public colleges and universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mental health advocates say on-campus care is especially important because people often first experience psychological problems during their young adult years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s so much the age when serious mental illness manifests itself, and here we have these institutions that could absolutely be identifying this early on,” said Deborah Anderluh, a spokesperson for the Steinberg Institute, which lobbies for more funding for mental health treatment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Only eight of the Cal State system’s 23 campuses meet the standard of one counselor per 1,000 to 1,500 students set by the International Association of Counseling Services — the national accreditor for campus counseling centers — according to a survey by the student association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many community colleges don’t have a counseling center at all, or rely on graduate student interns to provide care. The University of California system is in the midst of a five-year hiring push to add counselors on its campuses, funded by student fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The number of college students seeking counseling on campuses nationwide grew five times faster than enrollment between 2009 and 2015, according to the Center for Collegiate Mental Health, a national consortium.

But she wanted to go into politics. And the polarized atmosphere that accompanied President Trump’s election exacerbated the social pressures she was already experiencing as a Muslim woman, Ansari said. \"I was having this identity crisis and feeling really threatened.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It wasn’t until starting on-campus therapy, Ansari said, that she realized she wasn’t the only one dealing with those challenges. Her grades improved, and she took on more responsibility in student government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when she recommended the campus counseling center to a friend who was grieving after a death in the family, said Ansari, the friend couldn’t get an appointment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center staff said, “‘We’re all filled up; can you call back in two weeks?’” Ansari said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislators are considering a \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB968\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> to ease that backlog by requiring public campuses to have one full-time counselor for every 1,500 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve put a lot of emphasis on how to get students to graduate on time,” state Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento Democrat and the bill’s author, told CALmatters. “One of the barriers is mental health issues, and we should be helping [students] overcome them. Otherwise, we’re not maximizing our investment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids.'\u003ccite>Peg Scott, American River College psychology professor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>CSU and the community colleges would have to hire hundreds of new counselors to meet the ratio Pan is proposing, according to a legislative analysis. The community college system has more than 7,000 students for every counselor systemwide, according to the analysis, while CSU has more than 2,000. Staffing at the University of California is more robust, with about 1,100 students per counselor overall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of the university systems has taken a position on the bill. But Denise Bevly, CSU’s director of wellness, questioned whether mandating staff levels for counselors was the best way to improve care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One-on-one counseling may not be it for all students,” she said. Some issues might be better addressed through prevention and early intervention such as “a stress-management workshop, or a peer counseling group, or a yoga class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s still a gap, if we’re honest,” between the increasing demand for counseling services and the supply, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The schools are doing what they can with the resources they have, she added. In June, the university will start training a few faculty and staff from each campus to be “wellness ambassadors.” They’ll be able to direct students who are struggling with mental health or financial pressures to the right campus programs, Bevly said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pan’s legislation may mean the most change for community colleges. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11665552\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg\" alt=\"American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health.\" width=\"800\" height=\"588\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11665552\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-800x588.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-160x118.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1020x750.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1200x882.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-1180x867.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-960x706.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-240x176.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-375x276.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/MentalHealthConversation-520x382.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">American River College students Grace Swint and Shamona Thompson Ross talk about mental health. \u003ccite>(Felicia Mello/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In a 2016 \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/NCHA-II-SPRING-2016-HSACCC-REFERENCE-GROUP-DATA-REPORT-1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">survey\u003c/a> of 10 California community colleges, more than half of students said they had felt overwhelming anxiety at some time in the past year, with 39 percent saying they had been so depressed it was hard to function. One in 10 said they had seriously considered suicide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the Legislature budgeted $4.5 million for new mental health programs at community colleges — but only 15 of the state’s 114 colleges will receive the competitive grants of up to $300,000 each.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>American River College psychology professor Peg Scott says every week, two to three students approach her with mental health problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We see PTSD, bipolar, eating disorders and schizophrenia, but depression and anxiety are the two that really eat up our kids,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no counseling center at her Sacramento County community college, which has two nurses for more than 30,000 students. So Scott refers students to a county crisis center several miles away. The center provides transportation, Scott says, but it’s just not practical for her to send them every student who needs help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Students need somewhere on campus to go when they have a panic attack or are just having a really bad day,” Scott said. “Finals are coming up and they need support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has a dedicated funding source for mental health programs: In 2004, voters passed Proposition 63, a 1 percent tax on incomes of more than $1 million a year. Counties can decide how to use most of the money, and a \u003ca href=\"http://www.auditor.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2017-117.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">recent state audit\u003c/a> found that hundreds of millions have gone unspent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some lawmakers want the state to set priorities for how counties should spend those funds. Under a bipartisan \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1004\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> also pending in the Legislature, counties would have to use some of the money for one of three types of mental health programs, including college counseling, or justify to the state why they did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2933\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> would require that every county social-services agency have a liaison to help professors like Scott send students for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s last major effort to upgrade college counseling failed in 2016, when Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have set up a campus mental health trust fund, citing its lack of a specific price tag or funding source. But Proposition 63 has had some effect. UC, CSU and community colleges were all able to use some of its proceeds to launch campaigns to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And students say it’s become easier to talk about mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like there’s more of an open discussion of it,” said Courtney Cooper, president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. “I had a panic attack before class the other day ... and this other girl was like, ‘Oh, I deal with anxiety, too.’ I didn’t feel like I was the only one or that anyone in class was going to judge me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students on a number of campuses have started mental health conferences and formed chapters of \u003ca href=\"http://www.activeminds.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Active Minds\u003c/a>, a student-run advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott’s students decided not to wait for their college to provide counseling. They’re partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to create peer support groups for struggling students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need is there, and our students are so forward-looking that they recognize it,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://calmatters.org/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em> \u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Under a bipartisan \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB1004\" target=\"_blank\">measure\u003c/a> also pending in the Legislature, counties would have to use some of the money for one of three types of mental health programs, including college counseling, or justify to the state why they did not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2933\" target=\"_blank\">proposal\u003c/a> would require that every county social-services agency have a liaison to help professors like Scott send students for help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s last major effort to upgrade college counseling failed in 2016, when Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed a bill that would have set up a campus mental health trust fund, citing its lack of a specific price tag or funding source. But Proposition 63 has had some effect. UC, CSU and community colleges were all able to use some of its proceeds to launch campaigns to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And students say it’s become easier to talk about mental health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I feel like there’s more of an open discussion of it,” said Courtney Cooper, president of the Student Senate for California Community Colleges. “I had a panic attack before class the other day ... and this other girl was like, ‘Oh, I deal with anxiety, too.’ I didn’t feel like I was the only one or that anyone in class was going to judge me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students on a number of campuses have started mental health conferences and formed chapters of \u003ca href=\"http://www.activeminds.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Active Minds\u003c/a>, a student-run advocacy organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott’s students decided not to wait for their college to provide counseling. They’re partnering with the National Alliance on Mental Illness to create peer support groups for struggling students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The need is there, and our students are so forward-looking that they recognize it,” Scott said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
