IT'S HERE WITH ME TODAY.
SO UNDER.
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON THE FAIR
EMPLOYMENT AND HOUSING COUNCIL
ON IT DIDN'T A TREMENDOUS HONOR.
OF THE BALANCE FAIR. IT
IMPLEMENTATION OF OUR LAWS IS A
RESPONSIBILITY THAT I TAKE ON
WITH GREAT CARE. MICHAEL AS A
COUNCIL MEMBER IS CENSURE THE
FAIR COMPETITION APPLICATION OF
OUR CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS. OUR
PRIMARY ROLE. AT THE COUNCIL IS
VERY CLEAR WE INTERPRET EXISTING
LEGAL AUTHORITY TO ISSUE
REGULATIONS THAT SUPPORT BROAD
BASED UNDERSTANDING AND
COMPLIANCE WITH OUR ANTI
DISCRIMINATION LAWS.
THERE WERE DELIBERATE PROCESS WE
JOHN EXPERTISE FROM A WIDE RANGE
OF STAKE HOLDERS. MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC. THE BUSINESS COMUNITY
ACADEMICS CIVIL RIGHTS GROUPS
AND MANY OTHERS. I'M INCREDIBLY
EXCITED TO SERVE IN THIS ROLE
BECAUSE NOT ONLY IS CALIFORNIA A
LEADING GLOBAL ECONOMY. BUT THE
STATE HAS MADE PROFOUND
CONTRIBUTIONS TO CIVIL RIGHTS. I
LEGISLATORS INJURIES HAVE BUILT
THIS LEGACY FROM THE LEMON GROVE
SCHOOL DESEGREGATION CASE TO THE
MORE RECENTLY ESTABLISHED LAWS
THAT PROTECT LGBT PEOPLE AND OUR
FAMILIES.
BEING FROM RURAL CALIFORNIA.
IT'S ALSO A GOAL OF MINE TO
ENSURE THAT THE FDA TO SEE IF
THE PRACTICAL ACCESSIBLE
RESOURCE FOR PEOPLE THROUGHOUT
THE STATE. AND THE SALINAS
VALLEY WHERE I GREW UP AND WHERE
I NOW LIVE WITH MY WIFE AND KIDS.
THE AGENCIES AND THE COMPANIES
ARE SMALL WE DO NOT HAVE LARGE
LEGAL DEPARTMENTS THAT YOU MIGHT
FIND THAT GOOGLE OR APPLE. WHEN
I SIT DOWN WITH MY FELLOW
COUNCIL MEMBERS TO PREPARE THESE
REGULATIONS I'M THINKING ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT MY NEIGHBOR WHO
RUNS THE SMALL BUSINESS DOWN THE
STREET OR THAT COMMUNITY BASED
ORGANIZATION. CAN UNDERSTAND
WHAT THE LAW REQUIRES. THE BASED
ON THIS EXPERIENCE AND BASED ON
MY LEGAL TRAINING I COMMIT TO
ENSURING THAT THE COUNCIL FOR
BILLS IT'S LEGAL MANDATE. AND
THAT WE SERVE THE PEOPLE OF

PLEASE DO SO. AND GIVE US A A
BRIEF SYNOPSIS OF OF YOUR PERSON.
EARLY THANK YOU A GOOD AFTERNOON
SENATOR DELAY ON THE MEMBERS OF
THE SENATE RULES COMMITTEE FIRST
ALTHOUGH MY FAMILY'S NOT
PHYSICALLY PRESENT THEY ARE
WATCHING ONLINE. SO I WOULD LIKE
TO SAY HELLO TO MY WIFE JULIA
AND MY SON'S EIGHTEEN JACOB AND
MY DAUGHTER AMALIE ORTIZ.
I'M HONORED TO BE HERE. AT THE
FIRST I WANT TO SAY THAT YOU
KNOW I WAS RAISED AS A REPAIR
FAMILY THAT'S RECENT IMMIGRANTS
THE UNITED STATES WE WERE RAISED
WITH THE IDEA OF THE COMMUNITY
SERVICE. IS INTEGRAL THAT WE DO
IF WE MUST DO IT AND WE DO DO IT
IT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT HAS
A LASTING IMPACT. THE KIND OF
THING THAT YOU WANT TO TELL YOUR
GRANDKIDS ABOUT IT'S NOT JUST
MAKING MONEY BUT RATHER
CONTRIBUTING.
I THINK THAT I CAN CONTRIBUTE TO
THE FAIR EMPLOYMENT HOUSING
COUNCIL GIVEN MY SKILL SET AND
MY UNIQUE PERSPCTIVE. SO FIRST
REGARDING MY SKILL SET FOR THE
APPROXIMATE FOR THE PAST THIRTY
YEARS I'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN
LABOR AND EMPLOYMENT RELATED
INDUSTRIES EVERYTHING FROM
TEAMSTERS SIDE BOTH. LABOR AND
MANAGEMENT BUT THEN ALSO DURING
LAW SCHOOL AND IN CLERKING
FOCUSING ON TITLE SEVEN AND
WORKPLACE DISCRIMINATION ITEMS.
MY PRESENT A PRACTICE FOR THE
LAST. FIFTEEN PLUS YEARS OF
WITCHES AND LABOR EMPLOYMENT
ATTORNEY FOCUSING ON PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE EMPLOYER SIDE
REPRESENTATION.
I'M SO I I HAVE THAT SKILL SET
BUT.
FROM THE PERSPECTIVE.
ANGLE ON ONE HAND I AM A FIRST
GENERATION IMMIGRANT I'M DEEPLY
COMMITTED TO JUSTICE AND CIVIL
RIGHTS. I DO NOT THINK THAT
CIVIL RIGHTS AS A PARTISAN ISSUE
I THINK EVERYONE IS VESTED IN
THE IDEA. THAT WE PROTECT THE
RIGHTS OF OUR EMPLOYEES WE
PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF THE
CITIZENS OF OF CALIFORNIA.
ON THE OTHER HAND I SHOULDN'T
SAY THE OTHER OTHER HAND BECAUSE
SAY EVEN OPEN PLAYERS ARE VESTED
IN. PROTECTING RIGHTS BUT. I AM
AN ATTORNEY THAT PROVIDES
EMPLOYER SIDE REPRESENTATION
AGAIN TO PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SIDE
EMPLOYERS.
ALSO INVESTED IN THE COMMUNITY
WITH THE VARIOUS CHAMBERS OF
COMMERCE AND IN FACT I WILL BE
SITTING AS THE CHAIR OF THE
GREATER RIVERSIDE CHAMBERS OF
COMMERCE STARTING THIS YEAR TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN. BUT I
REGULARLY PROVIDE PRESENTATIONS
TO THE VARIOUS CHAMBERS AND
HUMAN RESOURCES GROUPS.
THROUGHOUT MY PRACTICE.
I SHOULD ALSO ADD THAT THERE IS
A GEOGRAPHIC DIVERSITY I AM FROM
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND THE
INLAND REGION OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA WHICH I THINK
HISTORICALLY HASN'T HAD THE THE
KIND OF REPRESENTATION THAT I
WOULD HOPE.
WOULD IT WOULD IT WOULD GET TO
END UP BODIES LIKE THIS.
I HOPE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE
COUNCIL BY. PROVIDING MY MY
INPUT MY PERSPECTIVE. ENDS
HELPING THE COUNCIL PROVIDE
REGULATIONS THAT ARE FAIR
CONCISE AND TO PROVIDE GUIDANCE
FOR THE COMPLIANCE.
FOR EMPLOYERS TO BE IN
COMPLIANCE AND TO ELIMINATE
CONFUSION THAT WOULD LEAD TO
LITIGATION IN THE FUTURE. I ALSO
WANT TO TAKE AS A CHARGE. THAT
THE IT DEPARTMENT FOR EMPLOYMENT
HOUSING THE FAIR EMPLOYMENT
HOUSING COUNCIL OF PUSH PUBLIC
OUTRAGE TO REACH OUT TO THE
STAKE HOLDERS IN THE COMMUNITY.

NOT JUST A PERSONAL INTEREST BUT.
MY LATE WIFE MARY JEAN PUGH WAS
JERRY BROWN'S FIRST APPOINTEE TO
THE STATE COLLEGE BOARD OF
TRUSTEES AFTER HE BECAME
GOVERNOR IN NINETEEN SEVENTY
FIVE.
SO SHE SERVES SEVEN YEARS BEFORE.
WE HAD TO. MOVE SOMEWHERE. AND
DOES SO WHEN THE GOVERNOR ASKED

CARRIED ON THE IDEA OF WHAT TO.
MARRY GENE HAD.
BEEN SO CONCERNED ABOUT AND
WORK SO HARD FOR WHICH IS THE
BENEFIT OF THE STUDENTS OF THE
CS YOU. THE PEOPLE WHO.
OTHERWISE WE MIGHT HAVE A VERY
DIFFERENT LIVES IN THE.
WITHOUT HAVING THE COLLEGE

PEOPLE WILL THEN BE ABLE TO. TO
PROVIDE I SHOULD ALSO MENTION.
MY.
MY WIFE NOW URGES ILL SHOULD
TREAT UNFORTUNATELY.
COULDN'T BE WITH US TODAY. IN
LOS ANGELES BUT TO HOPEFULLY
SHE'S WATCHING OR LISTENING.

THANK YOU MR ATTEMPT. MAYBE JUST
THE STATEMENT TO BEGIN AND I
WANNA THANK YOU BOTH FOR. YOUR
PARTICIPATION IN SELECTING THE
NEW PRESIDENT OF SAN DIEGO STATE
UNIVERSITY. THE FIRST WOMAN. I
AT SAN DIEGO STATE MISSTATED
TORY WAS ANNOUNCED I THINK TODAY.
SONA THANK YOU FOR YOUR ROLE IN
THAT VERY IMPORTANT TO US AND IN
MY CITY. ARE I ALSO.
SERVED BRIEFLY WITH BOTH OF YOU
IN MY SHORT TENURE ON THE BOARD
OF TRUSTEES. AND I IT WAS A REAL
PLEASURE TO BE ON AS PART OF
THAT A BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND
HEAR HOW YOU GRAPPLE WITH ISSUES.
AND SO I SUPPORT OF BOTH OF
THESE CANDIDATES MR PRO TEM I
WOULD ASK EACH OF YOU FOR ONE
THING. IN TERMS OF AND I KNOW
MONEY IS AN ISSUE AND BUDGET AND
THE GOVERNOR STAFF IS HERE.
LISTENING AND. HAVE BEEN
SUPPORTIVE OF THAT EVEN BEFORE I
WAS A TRUSTEE AND THEN AFTER
WHAT.
DO YOU FIND TO BE THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE I FACE RIGHT NOW. AS
AS A TRUSTEE.
I KNOW THERE PROBABLY ARE MANY
BUT IF IF ONE THING STOOD OUT.
WHAT WOULD THAT BE?
FOR ME IT'S. THE FACT THAT WE
ARE. TURN AWAY SO MANY STUDENTS
THAT ARE QUALIFIED.
THAT.
KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT. THIRTY ONE
THOUSAND STUDENTS THEY'RE
QUALIFIED.
COMING FROM K. TWELVE YOU KNOW I
I'M I'M PLEASED THAT WE'VE
INCREASED THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS
THAT ARE QUALIFIED. BUT IT'S
DISAPPOINTING WHEN THEY AREN'T
ABLE.
TO GET INTO A CSU.
THANK YOU I WOULD SAY THAT.
DOING MORE WITH LESS.
THAT'S THE CHALLENGE WE ALL
HAVE TO FACE RIGHT NOW.
AND.
.
WE'RE DOING OUR BEST TO.
HOLD DOWN TUITION INCREASES.
WE HAVE SOME DISAGREEMENTS OVER
THAT.
AND.
HOPEFULLY WERE FINDING NEW WAYS
TO.
BE EFFICIENT. AND EXPAND THE
INCOME MAY BE A NONTRADITIONAL
AS. AS WELL AS HOPEFULLY.
LOOKING TO YOU ALL FOR FOR THE
CONTINUED SUPPORT THAT WE ALL
APPRECIATE. AND.
GO FORWARD FROM THERE.
THANK YOU I APPRECIATE A COUPLE
OF THINGS ONE. I DON'T HAVE ANY
HARD QUESTIONS I I THINK THE
WORK YOU DO IS HARD ENOUGH. OF.
AND I APPRECIATE FROM WHERE YOU
BOTH COME. I MISS MELINDA'S YOU
CERTAINLY MENTION A LOT OF
ISSUES THAT ARE NEAR AND DEAR TO
MY HEART AS RELATES TO FOOD
SECURITY.
HOMELESS STUDENTS IMMIGRANT
STUDENTS. I ALL OF THE ALL OF
THE ISSUES. BUT I DO IT TAKES A
BOARD IN ADDITION TO THE
CHANCELLOR. AND STAFF TO CREATE
THE WHAT YOU'VE CREATED THERE IN
TERMS OF THE DIVERSITY OF THE
PRESIDENT'S. THE HEADS OF THE
UNIVERSITIES I I THINK YOU HAVE
THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE OF WOMEN
EVER. PRESIDENTS AND THE
DIVERSITY WHICH MATCHES THE
DIVERSITY OF THE STUDENT
POPULATION I ALSO APPRECIATE THE
APPROACH YOU'VE TAKEN ON TUITION
INCREASES.
I YOU HAVE EXHIBITED. RESTRAINT
IN TERMS OF TRYING TO. WORK WITH
US IN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE ON
THE BUDGET REQUESTS. I HOPE THAT
TRANSLATES INTO APPRECIATION FOR
HOW YOU CHOOSE TO WORK WITH US
ARE. BECAUSE YOU COULD CERTAINLY
DO IT A DIFFERENT WAY AND AND
YOU HAVEN'T SO. AS PROBLEM
SOLVERS TOGETHER.
SHE A DAD AND I KNOW WE HAVE
CHALLENGES.
MOSTLY RESOURCES DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE.
CERTAINLY I KNOW YOU'RE LOOKING
AT TUDENT SUCCESS YOU'RE LOOKIN
AT GRADUATION RATES YOU'RE
LOOKING AT SUPPORT SERVICES FOR
STUDENTS. PARTICULARLY FIRST
GENERATION STUDENTS WHICH YOU
STILL. HAVE A LOT OF THE
PERCENTAGE. AND SO I JUST THANK
YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO
SERVE BECAUSE THESE ARE BIG
ISSUES. AND I SUPPORT THEM MR
PRO TEM.
THANK YOU MUCH OF A MISS ATKINS.
MISLABELED.
SO.
GOOD AFTERNOON IT'S GREAT TO SEE
BOTH OF YOU AGAIN.
WE KNOW THAT STUDENT WELLBEING
IS ESSENTIAL TO SIX STUDENT
SUCCESS. I COMMEND THE
CHANCELLOR AND THE BOARD FOR
CREATING THE BASIC NEEDS
INITIATIVE WE TALKED A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT THAT EARLIER. HAVE
THERE BEEN ANY DISCUSSIONS ABOUT
THE ROLE OF STUDENT HEALTH
CENTERS IN THE BASIC BASIC NEEDS
ASSESSMENT INITIATIVE EXCUSE ME.
AS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT EARLIER.
.
UNFORTUNATELY IT HAS NOT BEEN A
PRIME TOPIC AND.
I THINK
WE REALIZE IN OUR DISCUSSION FOR
WHICH WE APPRECIATE YOUR. IDEAS.
THAT WE.
WE HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.
AND WE W WILL.
AND AS I MENTIONED I WILL. AND
I SUSPECT GONNA TO.
REQUEST THAT WE.
PUT THAT ON THE AGENDA FOR
EITHER THE NEXT TIME A TIME
AFTER THE EITHER MARCHER MAZE
MEETING. TO GET A RUN DOWN A
COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE
WE ARE. AND WHAT'S GOING ON IN
THAT AREA.
WE CERTAINLY TALKED A LOT ABOUT.
OF FOOD IN SECURITY AND TO SOME
DEGREE HOMELESSNESS.
BUT THE THE HEALTH CENTERS WHICH
OBVIOUSLY ARE IMPORTANT TO
EVERYBODY.
FOR SOME REASON HASN'T COME UP.
TO TO A GREAT DEGREE.
SO THAT'S.
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE HEADED.
VERY GOOD I APPRECIATE THAT AND
NOT WE STAND READY TO HELP IN
ANY WAY THAT WE CAN. MY NEST
NAMING MY NEXT QUESTION IS ABOUT
ON TUITION INCREASES. AND WHAT
WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER.
AND WHETHER OR NOT TO INCREASE
FEES ARE ARE A TUITION.
I GUESS I'LL START OFF ON.
IT'S NOT A VERY.
EASY PROCESS UP PERSONALLY FOR
ME IT'S IT'S VERY DIFFICULT.
BECAUSE I A I PICTURED THE
STUDENTS AND UNDERSTAND WHERE
THEY'RE COMING FROM AND THEIR
NEEDS.
ALSO I AM.
REALLY DIGDEEP WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION LAST YEAR I SPENT
SEVERAL HOURS WITH THE
ADMINISTRATOR GOING THROUGH THE
BUDGET. ASKING QUESTIONS.
BECAUSE I I FELT IT WAS
IMPORTANT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND.
IF THERE WAS ANY CHANCE OF NOT
INCREASING TUITION.
AND.
YOU KNOW AT AT THE END SO I
TOOK INTO CONSIDERATION THE FACT
THAT. YOU KNOW IT HAD BEEN
SEVERAL YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN AN
INCREASED THERE'D BEEN YOU KNOW.
THAT HAD NOT HAPPENED. I ALSO
AND REALLY FELT THAT.
YOU KNOW OUR FACULTY AND AND
STAFF REALLY HAD NOT HAD ANY
INCREASES BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I
I LOOKED AT. THE GRADUATION
INITIATIVE WHICH WAS VERY
IMPORTANT IN THE MOMENTUM WAS
VERY STRONG AND THAT IT IS GOING
VERY STRONG. I DIDN'T WANT TO
SEE THAT MOMENTUM AND. AND OF.
SEVERAL THE TRUSTEES.
AT MENTIONED THAT THE MONEY AND
I WAS AN AGREEMENT. OF THE
TUITION INCREASE WOULD BE
FOCUSED AROUND THE GRADUATION
INITIATIVE AND WANTING TO HEAR
BACK. AND THE THAT'S WHERE THE
MONEY. IS HAS OR WAS PROMISED TO
BE FOCUSED AND SO ON I VOTED TO
INCREASE.
TUITION.
YEAH I GUESS IT WAS ONE OF THE
HARDEST DECISIONS OF MY LIFE IT
AND AS I TOLD YOU EARLIER. I
DON'T NECESSARILY DISAGREE WITH.
TUITION INCREASES SOMETIMES THEY
HAVE TO HAPPEN AT THE IT BEEN
SIX YEARS SINCE I'VE BEEN IN
INCREASE MY CONCERN IS THAT
YOU'RE LOOKING AT ANOTHER
INCREASE THIS YEAR. AND THAT
WHEN YOU ORIGINALLY THOUGHT
ABOUT THE TUITION INCREASE JUST
MAKE SURE YOU'RE LOOKING OUT AND
IF YOU HAD TO LOOK FOR YOU KNOW
ASK FOR A LITTLE BIT MORE. SO
THAT YOU WOULD NEVER GO BACK THE
NEXT YEAR I THINK THAT'S I THINK
THAT'S HARD ON STUDENTS SO. MY
CONCERN IS JUST THAT WE DON'T
WANT TO SEE A TUITION INCREASE
EVERY YEAR GOING FORWARD.
THANK YOU BOTH VERY MUCH. NO
FURTHER QUESTIONS MISTER PROGRAM.
AFTER MUCH MISLABELED.
MR UP VERY.
THANK YOU MS SHERMAN AND THE.
WELCOME AGAIN THING LOOK LOOK
FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AGAIN
WELCOME BACK. THANK YOU ALIVE AS
I MENTIONED IN THE ALL I'VE GOT
A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU THIS
THIS CONFIRMATION TRICKS ME. I
AM I WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE
OPERATIONS AND PRACTICES OF THE
BOARD WITH RESPECT TO THE
APPROVAL OF LABOR CONTRACTS.
AND I I WANT TO ASK THIS
QUESTION BECAUSE I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT THIS THAT WE'RE SPENDING
MORE MONEY.
THEN WE HAVE ALLOCATED.
SO IN TWENTY SIXTEEN LABOR
CONTRACTS BECAUSE THE SEA ISSUE.
ONE HUNDRED THIRTY NINE MILLION
DOLLARS WOULD WAS ALMOST NINETY
PERCENT. OF THE ONE HUNDRED
FIFTY SEVEN MILLION IN GENERAL
FOR. THE STATE ALLOCATED. TO SEE
ISSUE THAT YEAR.
IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
EXTENSION OF THOSE CONTRACTORS
FOR THE EXPECTED TO COST A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY TWO MILLION.
WHICH IS ROUGHLY THIRTY MILLION
MORE THAN THE GOVERNOR PROPOSES
TO GIVE THIS ISSUE. IN HIS
JANUARY BUT.
SO.
WE WERE TOLD BY C. ISSUES STAFF
THAT UNDER THE BOARDS BYLAWS.
ONLY MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING VOTE TO
APPROVE LABOR CONTRACTS. NOT THE
FULL BOARD.
THIS CONCERNS ME A LITTLE BIT.
UNDER THIS PROCESS MOST OF THE
THIRD OF THE VOTE BOARD CAN VOTE
TO COMMIT THE ENTIRE IT'S THE
ISSUE SYSTEM. TO HUNDREDS OF
MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN LONG TERM
FISCAL OBLIGATION THE FACT
THAT'S WHAT THEY'VE DONE.
SO MY QUESTION IS THIS.
CAN DO TO QUESTIONS WHAT IS YOUR
OPINION ON THE BOARD POLICY. AND
SHOULD BE CHANGED SO THE ENTIRE
BOARD APPROVED THE CONTRACTS.
MISTER FAGEN YOU COULD START OFF
OF YOU WOULD.
.
IT'S IT'S A.
IT'S AN INTERESTING SITUATION
THE DEATH OF THIS THERE ARE ONLY
TWO COMMITTEES ON THE COS YOU.
TRUSTEES THAT HAVE THAT
UNIVERSE THE UNILATERAL
AUTHORITY ONE IS THE AUDIT
COMMITTEE WHICH I'M SURE OF. AND
THE OTHER IS COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING.
THE AUDIT COMMITTEE THEORY. IS
THAT IT'S A PART FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION AND IS AUDITING
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THEREFORE.
SHOULD.
HAVE THIS UNILATERAL.
ABILITY TO.
TAKE ACTION.
AFTER THIS LAST GO AROUND ON THE.
DECISION TO.
COME TO AN AGREEMENT ON THE
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.
SITUATION.
I ASKED A NUMBER OF PEOPLE.
WHY IT IS THE ONLY THE
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING COMMITTEE?
VOTES ON THESE THINGS AND NOT
THE ENTIRE TRUSTEES.
AND NOBODY. KNEW.
NOBODY SEEMED TO HAVE A
RECOLLECTION OF HOW THAT COME
INTO BEING. AND.
WHY IT WAS?
I THINK WE CAN ALL.
YES OF WHAT SOME OF THOSE
REASONS MIGHT BE BUT I I I DO
NOT KNOW THE ANSWER.
AFTER THOSE DISCUSSIONS HOWEVER.
.
I THINK IT'S A REASONABLE.
QUESTION AT LEAST TO PURSUE.
OF WHY THIS EXISTS IS IT IS AND
ISN'T A GOOD IDEA.
I I THINK.
.
I DON'T KNOW IF I WOULD.
HAVE OTHER TRUSTEES THE.
SUPPORT IN THAT EXAMINATION BUT.
I'VE I TICKETS ARE COMPLETELY
REASONABLE IDEA BECAUSE.
IT'S OBVIOUSLY A SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT WHETHER YOU AGREE WITH IT
OR NOT.
IT'S A DECISION THAT'S
OVERWHELMING. AND TO HAVE THAT
SMALL PORTION MAKE THAT DECISION.
MAYBE IT'S TIME FOR THE TRUSTEES
TO EXAMINE THAT POLICY. ANA IF
WE WANT TO TURN OVERTURN IT WE
CAN I ASSUME A I DON'T KNOW THAT
THERE'S ANY REASON WE COULDN'T.
SO I APPRECIATE THE INPUT AND I
THINK YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT TO
BRING THAT QUESTION UP.
I WILL PURSUE IT.
ANY ANY IDEA YOU WERE VOTED ON
THAT ON THOSE CONTRACTS.
THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A
DIFFICULT DECISION.
YEAH.
MELINDA'S WELCOME BACK AND IF
YOU COULD COMMENT APPRECIATE IT.
ABSOLUTELY.
AND ONE THING I DID WANT TO SAY
IS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.
HE DOES VOTE WE ARE ALL IN THE
MEETING SO WE ARE AWARE OF WHAT.
.
BUT THE WHAT'S BEING NEGOTIATED
WHAT SAM THE.
THE RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF
SO IT ISN'T THAT WERE NOT AWARE
I I. I I DO BELIEVE IN A WEEK WE
ARE AWARE AND THAT WE.
THOUGH WE CANNOT VOTE. ON. THE
TWO.
I UNDERSTAND THE ISSUES AND
UNDERSTAND WHAT NEEDS TO BE.
NEEDS TO BE. OR. WHY INDIVIDUALS
WOULD CERTAINLY?
HOW WOULD YOU HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT
IT WOULD HOW YOU VOTED ON THIS
SAID YOU'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD?
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY
INTERESTING ABOUT THAT. IS.
.
THAT IT'S IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO
SAY BECAUSE I HAVE TO WAY AS I
SAID BEFORE. THE FACT THAT.
OUR EMPLOYEES HAD NOT RECEIVED A
RAISE AND A LONG TIME.
WHAT THEY RECEIVED WAS A THREE
PERCENT RAISE WHICH IS YOU KNOW
JUST ABOVE AND THEY HADN'T
RECEIVED FOR FOR SOME TIME?
SO.
.
WE DO AND ARE PART OF THE
GRADUATION INITIATIVE IS TO
ENSURE THAT WE HAVE MORE TENURED
FACULTY. AND SO TO ME ONE SIDE
THAT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
THAT WE.
YOU KNOW.
ENSURE THAT OUR OUR STAFF IS IS
PAID WHAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY THEIR WORK IS
WORTH. ARM ON THE OTHER SIDE I I
DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE SAYING.
IN TERMS OF IT DOES ENCUMBER US.
BUT I SO I AM. I AM THE I'M
LEANING TOWARD THE FACT THAT.
YOU KNOW OUR EMPLOYEES.
YOU KNOW REALLY DESERVE THAT A
SALARY INCREASE AT THAT YEAH I
I'M JUST SAYING TO KIND OF BRING
THIS UP BECAUSE. THIS IS A
SIXTEEN PERCENT INCREASE OVER
FOUR YEARS.
AND GIVEN THE FACT THAT YOU WERE
BUDGET A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF MONEY.
I I REALLY WONDER IN THE VOTE IN
BOTH COMMENT ON THIS HAVE YOU
EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT HAD I
MEAN THIS ECONOMY IS ROCK AND
ROLL RIGHT NOW WE HAVE BIG
BUDGETS. WE HAVE SOME ROOM.
BUT HAVE YOU TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION. A DOWNTURN IN THE
ECONOMY AND ALSO WE DON'T HAVE
MONEY.
WHEN YOU WHEN YOU TAKE A LOOK AT
ALL THE STUFF. YOU KNOW IT'S
CHALLENGING. AND IT'S VERY
DIFFERENT FOR ME IS THAT I'M
USED TO K. TWELVE TWENTY.
SO IT WAS A VERY DIFFERENT SHIFT.
OF THAT I MAKE FOR AS HAVING
PART OF BEING A PARTICIPANT IN
THE CS YOU AS A CSU TRUSTEE.
BECAUSE IN CASE TWELVE WE SORT
OF HAVE AN IDEA. OF HOW MUCH
MONEY WE'RE GOING TO BE
RECEIVING. ON WE NEGOTIATE
AROUND THAT.
WE MAKE PLANS ROUND THAT. AND.
IT'S VERY DIFFERENT WITH THE CS
USE.
YOU KNOW THEY'RE IN A WAY IT SO
IT IT POSES A CHALLENGE. YOU
KNOW A. LIKE I SAID I.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
WE TREAT OUR EMPLOYEES AND.
AND AND PAY THEM WHAT THEY'RE
WORTH. ARM BUT I ALSO KNOW AND
I'VE DEALT WITH IT AS AN
ADMINISTRATOR. WHEN YOU HAVE TO
MAKE VERY DIFFICULT DECISIONS
BECAUSE OF THE ECONOMY.
SO.
AS WE LOOK. FORWARD YOU KNOW I
I KNOW THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF
BIRDS OF A RECESSION. BUT DURING
THE LAST RECESSION OUR EMPLOYEES
TOOK VERY DEEP CUTS.
SO YOU KNOW THIS IS JUST.
I THINK UP BRINGING US BACK TO
WHERE WE WERE. NOT NECESSARILY.
YOU KNOW. ASKING FOR MORE. THOSE
OFFENDERS THE IS ONLY TO SERVE
HER RIGHT THERE WE'RE NOT QUITE
READY EITHER.
MISTER FAGEN GIVE ANY THOUGHT TO.
THAT.
.
LIVING WITHIN YOUR MEANS IS WHAT
TO TELL THE.
THE PROVERBIAL FAMILY AROUND THE
KITCHEN TABLE ON THE BUDGET AND
THAT WE ALL HEAR ABOUT.
AND I THINK THAT APPLIES IT
SHOULD APPLY TO THE CSU.
SO WHEN WE SPEND MONEY WE SHOULD
TO. KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING TO
COME FROM HOW IT'S GONNA AFFECT
US AND WHAT IS GOING TO DO.
OF. YOU KNOW CERTAINLY WE HAVE A
TERRIFIC FACULTY WE HAVE A WORLD
CLASS FACULTY AND STAFF.
THAT DESERVES.
MORE THAN THEY GOT.
IN THE IN THE IDEAL SITUATION.
AND.
.
I THINK WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL IN
THE FUTURE ABOUT THE.
EXPENSES AND INCOME.
OF AND THAT'S WHY.
YOU KNOW I I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR THE CS YOU TO TRY
AND. LOOK AT. ALL OF FISSION
SEES AND MORE NONTRADITIONAL.
SOURCES OF INCOME. AT THE SAME
TIME BECAUSE.
.
WE CAN'T KEEP COMING BACK FOR
TUITION INCREASES EVERY YEAR.
OR WE SHOULDN'T ANYHOW.
WE.
I THINK ALL THE TRUSTEES
COMPLETELY SUPPORT.
AND
THE THE BUDGET REQUESTS THAT
WE'VE MADE TO YOU.
AND THE. YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S WE
HAVE A GREAT STORY TO TELL.
IT REALLY AFFECTS THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA I MEAN HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF. PEOPLE HAVE BETTER
LIVES TODAY AND WILL HAVE BETTER
LIVES BECAUSE OF THE CSU. AND
THAT AFFECTS THE FUTURE OF
CALIFORNIA JUST AS WELL.
BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND THERE'S A.
HI.
THE YELLED AT THE SAME TIME WE
HAVE A GREAT STORY.
.
YOU KNOW THERE'S DISABLED KIDS
AND AND SENIORS WHO ARE. HAVING
ALL SORTS OF OF OF.
TERRIBLE PROBLEMS AND MEDICAL
ISSUES AND.
THERE'S DIFFERENT SEGMENTS OF
OUR OUR STATE WHO DEPEND UPON.
OF.
BENEFITS FROM FROM THE STATE.
TO LIVE.
SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
UNDERSTAND THOSE COMPETING
PRESSURES AT THE YOU HAVE TO
FACE GOVERNOR HAS TO FACE.
AND.
BE REALISTIC ON IT.
I'M NOT SAYING THAT WE IN ANY
WAY ARE SAYING WE SHOULDN'T TO.
WITH THAT WERE QUESTIONING THE
THE VALIDITY OF OUR REQUEST
BECAUSE WE'RE NOT IT'S
ABSOLUTELY. FOR THE CS YOU AND
ALL THOSE PEOPLE ESSENTIAL FOR
US TO GET THOSE DOLLARS.
BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT FOR US
TO REALIZE THAT. WE LIVE IN A
REAL WORLD AND WE WILL DEAL WITH
THE REALITY AND THAT I HAVE A
PLAN.
THAT.
TRIES TO ACCOMMODATE THAT.
THANK YOU WELL VOTE ON NOT.
RAISING TUITION IS DULY NOTED
ALSO WE THANK YOU FOR THAT. KIDS
THANK YOU FOR THAT.
LAST QUESTION.
ASSUMING YOU'RE NOT YOU DO NOT
GET ANY ADDITIONAL FUNDING FROM
THE STATE TO COVER THE COST OF
THE NEW LABOR CONTRACTS. WHERE
DOES THE BOARD PLAN TO GET THE
FUNDS?
WELL YOU HAVE TO CUT STUDENT
SERVICES CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION.
FOR RAISE TUITION TO COVER THE
COST YOU HAVE A PLAN.
MS POOLE NINE DEATH.
FOR. EITHER WAY GO AHEAD.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AT.
ACTUALLY YESTERDAY WE WERE INTO
NO GO AHEAD OF TIME.
OKAY A YESTERDAY WE HAD A.
A VERY.
.
ROBUST CONVERSATION ABOUT THE
BUDGET AND AND MANY OF US AND AS
I SAID IT WASN'T AN EASY.
.
A DECISION FOR ME LAST YEAR WAS
TUITION. AND SO THIS YEAR IT
REALLY IS ABOUT FOR MYSELF
PERSONALLY AND I ALSO NOTICED A
LOT OF THE TRUSTEES FELT THE
SAME WAY. IS THAT WE REALLY WANT
TO KNOW.
AGAIN AS WE DID LAST YEAR WHERE
IS THE MONEY WHERE WE GONNA CUT.
IF WE NEED TO CUT IF THE MONEY
DOES NOT COME THROUGH. AND AND
NOT JUST BIG ITEMS BUT EXACTLY
LET'S LOOK DEEP INTO THE BUDGET
AND WHERE WE CAN HAVE HAVING
WORKED IN. SCHOOL SYSTEMS.
.
THAT ARE FAIRLY LARGE.
BOOKED IN LA UNIFIED JUST POST
RECENTLY.
YOU KNOW YOU KNOW THAT THERE ARE
WAYS TO CUT. YOU KNOW AND SO I
THINK WE NEED TO EXHAUST THAT
FIRST ONE TWO THAT WE NEED TO
ALSO.
AT LOOK AT AND I KNOW. MISTER
FAGEN HAS. BEEN AN ADVOCATE A
STRONG ADVOCATE FOR THAT THIS
AND AND THAT IS.
LOOKING AT EFFICIENCIES.
AND.
WE GOT IT HAD A VERY EXCELLENT
REPORT YESTERDAY OF DIFFERENT
OFFICIAL SEES THAT HAVE BEEN UT
IN PLACE AND I THINK THE
TRUSTEES.
WE'RE VERY GLAD TO HEAR THAT IN
A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE U. SEAS
OF THINGS ARE HAPPENING BUT
THOSE ARE AS WAS STATED LAST
YEAR THEY. YESTERDAY THOSE ARE
LOW HANGING FRUIT SO LET'S START
THINKING ABOUT OTHER WAYS TO
CONTINUING WITH THE CS US DONE.
BUT I ALSO THINK THAT WE HAVE TO
BE.
UP FRONT ABOUT THE FACT. THAT
OF THE CS USE NEED MORE FUNDING.
I MEAN IT'S A BOTTOM LINE. I
DON'T IF IF WE'RE GOING TO
INVEST IN OUR STUDENTS.
I MEAN AFTER WE LOOK AND SEE HOW
WE CAN. INSURE SOME EFFICIENCIES
ARE IN PLACE AND THE THINGS THAT
NEED TO BE CUT CUT.
BUT AFTER THAT WE STILL NEED THE
MONEY.
AND I THINK IT'S WHAT OUR
STUDENTS DESERVE IT'S
UNPRECEDENTED. IN OUR IN THE CSU
SYSTEM.
IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE CAN'T
LIKE K. TWELVE HAVE AA SET
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT WE CAN
BUDGET OFF OF. THAT WE HAVE TO
COME EVERY YEAR AND AND AND
REQUEST.
.
SO SO I THINK YOU KNOW IT ISN'T
THAT WE'RE TAKING IT LIGHTLY
THAT WHICH IS GOING TO ASK
WITHOUT ASKING THE TOUGH
QUESTIONS BECAUSE WE ARE.
I DON'T DESERVE THIS KIND OF
FOLLOWING UP ON WHAT YOU SAID IN
YOUR OPENING REMARKS AND LITTLE
LITTLE BIT WHAT MS FLAVORS
MENTION ALSO THAT WOULD BE A LOT
OF KIDS OUT THERE.
THAT DON'T HAVE THE MEANS TO TO
FOR SOME OF THESE TUITION HIKES
WE BETTER PROPOSITION JUST A
COUPLE YEARS AGO AND I WOULD
ARGUE.
THAT WE HAVE MADE AN INVESTMENT
CSU SYSTEM.
AND THE GOVERNORS ADDED ANOTHER
ADDITIONAL MONEY THIS YEAR AND
WE JUST CAN'T SEEM TO LIVE
WITHIN OUR MEANS IN GOVERNMENT
AND IT. CONCERNS ME WELL I
WOULDN'T.
SAY THAT.
THAT ONLY BASED ON THE TUITION
INCREASE THAT THAT'S WHA WE
WOULD DO THAT'S NOT WHAT I
BELIEVE. I I. I VOTED LAST YEAR
I VOTED ONCE. I HAVE NOT YET
MADE UP MY MIND FOR THIS YEAR
BECAUSE I WANT TO ASK ALL THESE
QUESTIONS BECAUSE I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO ASK THOSE QUESTIONS
AND TO FEEL COMFORTABLE ABOUT MY
VOTE.
AND I AS I SAID IT WAS A VERY
DIFFICULT I DIDN'T MY HUSBAND
CAN ATTEST TO THIS SIDE AND
SLEEP FOR NIGHTS.
AND TO BE HONEST FOR ME THE
EASIEST THING. WOULD HAVE BEEN
TO VOTE FOR KNOWING CREASE.
BUT. PERSONALLY IN MY HEART OF
HEARTS I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THE
GRADUATION INITIATIVE I DO NOT
WANT TO SEE SOME OF THE WORK.
AND I ALSO BELIEVE IT HAD BEEN
SIX YEARS AS A RESULT OF THE. OF
YOU KNOW THAT THE WORK HERE THAT
THERE HADN'T BEEN AN INCREASE.
SO I AM NOT. I'M NOT COMMITTED
TO SEEING AN INCREASE EVERY YEAR
THAT'S NOT WHERE I STAND OF FOOD
FOR THOUGHT. THANK YOU I
APPRECIATE IT. FAGAN.
ANY THOUGHTS OF ACTUALLY I.
THANKS SHE SAID IT VERY WELL.
VALUE THAT MISTER CHAIRMAN.
MUCH.
MYSTERY OF MISTER MOSHER THANK
YOU MISTER TEMPLE. ALWAYS MET SO
GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN I'VE
ALREADY VOTED FOR YOU TO IN THE
PAST SO I DON'T SEE A COMPELLING
REASON NOT TO VOTE FOR YOU AGAIN.
BUT JUST TO FOLLOW UP ON
ANSWERED VERY HILLS AND AND SO I
THOUGHT YOU MENTIONED AN ARMY
THAT THERE WAS A THREE PERCENT
INCREASE BUT I AM LOOKING BACK
NOW IT WAS A. A TEN PERCENT
INCREASE IN TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
AND THEN A SIX PERCENT INCREASE
OF THREE PERCENT PER YEAR. ERECT
OKAY AND THAT'S BEEN IN MY
TENURE SO I I'VE I'VE ONLY. NOW
CAN YEAH.
SO AT AT AND I LOOK AND
EMPLOYEES NEED HAVE RAISES YOU
CAN'T KEEP PEOPLE THAT I
WOULDN'T LIKE THAT TO GET A
RAISE MEANS SIMPLY EVERYBODY
WANTS TO INCREASE A.
THEY'RE. LIVING.
BUT WHEN YOU NEGOTIATE WHEN
THESE WERE NEGOTIATOR STAND. IN
VOTE ON THEM BUT YOU WERE IN THE
ROOM AND I'M SURE YOU COULD
SPOKE UP IF YOU WANTED TO BUT.
DID YOU LOOK AT YOUR BUDGET I
MEAN.
ARE YOU SO DID THESE RACES NOW
TAKE YOU. BEYOND WHAT YOUR
ACTUAL BUDGET IS.
YEAH.
ALL OF THE VOTES OF THE OF REYES
WAS VOTED ON THAT EXCEEDED YOUR
BUDGET.
RIGHT BUT IS NOT TAKEN INTO
CONSIDERATION WHEN YOU'RE
CLICHES LIKE WE'D LOVE TO GIVE
YOU THAT. HOWEVER ARE WE DON'T
HAVE THAT MONEY.
IS THAT EVER COME UP IN THE
DISCUSSION. YES IT DOES YEAH AND
YOU SAID WELL WE'LL JUST FIGURED
OUT WAS WILL FORGET IT SOMEWHERE.
CASSELLS LIKE YOU'RE SAYING WE
NEED MORE FUNDING SO YOU THAT'S
NOT GUARANTEED RIGHT WE HAVE A
LOT OF COMPETING INTERESTS. AND
SO YOU CAN'T MAKE A DEAL AND
EXPECT US TO BACK FILL IT UP IT
IS THAT WHICH YOU WERE ASSUMING
WHEN WHEN THESE RACES WENT
THROUGH NOW I DON'T KNOW. THAT.
THE WAY THESE ARE PRESENTED TO
THE REST OF US THAT ARE NOT ON
THE COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
COMMITTEE.
IS IN CLOSED SESSION.
SO IT'S REFERS FOLLOW HARD I
THINK HIM AND NOT MAY BE
IMPROPER TO TO GET INTO DETAILS
ABOUT THOSE CLOSED SESSION THAT
DOUBT EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY AND
THINGS.
BUT.
.
I WOULD I WOULD SAY THAT THE
DISCUSSIONS IN THOSE CLOTHES
SESSIONS ARE MORE IN THE.
.
THE FEEL OF BEING PRESENTED TO
US OF THIS IS.
FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON.
OR WHAT'S BEEN.
.
IN THAT DIRECTION.
AND DURING THE NEGOTIATIONS WE
IN THOSE CLOTHES SESSIONS KEEP
IN MIND THOSE CLOSE SESSIONS OR
MAYBE EVERY OTHER MONTH.
IS WHEN WE HAVE MEETINGS WE ONLY
HAVE SIX MEETINGS A YEAR.
AND.
DURING THOSE CLOTHES SESSIONS
DURING THE NEGOTIATIONS.
THEY PRESENT TO US WHAT'S GOING
ON.
AND WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
AROUND THE BOARD NOT JUST THE
PEOPLE IN THE COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING.
TO MAKE SUGGESTIONS.
AND SAY QUESTIONS AT THAT TIME.
AND THOSE QUESTIONS ARE IN FACT
RAISED DURING THAT PROCESS.
BUT IN THE END.
WHEN THE NEGOTIATIONS ARE AT
THE FINAL PROCESS AND IT WAS HOT
AND HEAVY FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND
THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS.
OF THERE'S A DONE DEAL AND.
IT'S BROUGHT TO US AND SAYS
HERE IT IS.
SO IF I CAN YOU KNOW THROUGH THE
VICE CHAIR AND PERHAPS NOT TO
REPRESENT YOUR PERSPECTIVE
PERHAPS. IN THAT TO.
.
BE SMART SHEESH ALL STAKEHOLDERS
INVOLVED IN IN TERMS OF
NEGOTIATIONS THE COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AND USE. HAVING THE
FISHER RESPONSIBILITIES BEING
TRUSTEES OF THE CSU SYSTEM. I
THINK THAT. FOR IN THIS CASE FOR
RANK AND FILE MEMBERS.
WHO ARE AT THE BARGAINING TABLE
AND? A FOX I WAS IF OUR WORK
RECORD FALL MEMBER ART HAVE
SOMEONE REPRESENTING ME I WANTED
TO GET. THE BEST POSSIBLE DEAL
IMAGINABLE OUT WITHOUT QUESTION.
THERE VERY DESERVING OF IT.
BOMB I THINK THAT IF I.
THE VICE CHAIRS SERVICES FOR
COMICS GETTING AT.
AS MEMBERS TRUSTEES. AND WHEN
YOU'RE GIVEN A REPORT BY THE
SUBCOMMITTEE WILL RELIEVE
NEGOTIATORS ARE WHOEVER'S ON THE
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE ITSELF.
SUBCOMMITTEE NEGOTIATIONS
REPORTS THE LARGER BODY. THAT
WHEN YOU STRIKE A DEAL WITH
WHOMEVER THIS.
THAT WHEN YOU STRIKE A DEAL.
GIVEN YOUR.
CURRENT YEAR BUDGET. M. FUTURE
BUDGETS THAT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE
THE MONEY.
AS OPPOSED TO STRIKING A DEAL.
DECLARING VICTORY.
BUT REALLY NEGOTIATING MONEY
THAT'S NOT ON THE TABLE.
I THINK COMING HERE TO MAKE A
POLITICAL DEAL THROUGH
NEGOTIATION.
AND I THINK IF I'M HEARING
CORRECTLY EXPECTATION IS FROM
THE VICE CHAIR. IS A LITTLE MORE
TEETH FROM THE TRUSTEES TO ASK
DEEPER QUESTIONS AND NOT GOING
ALONG WITH WE STRUCK A DEAL.
RIGHT IT'S ALL GOOD TO GO. NOW
WOULD BE THE IMPORTANT
IMPRIMATUR OF THE TRUSTEES SO WE
CAN MOVE FORWARD UNDERSTANDING
THE MY PERSPECTIVE FROM PART OF
CLICK THE BARGAINING UNIT ONLY
AS MUCH AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.
PERIOD IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF MY
LIFE ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN
SOME PARTS OF THE STATE. THAT
ARE HIGH COST. ON BUT THIS IS
LESS ABOUT THE COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING UNIT AND MORE SO THE
ADMINISTRATION SIDE. AND MORE
SPECIFICALLY YOUR NEGOTIATORS
KNOW OVER REPRESENTS THE
SUBCOMMITTEE. WHO'S A CONDUIT TO
THE BOARD TRUSTEES.
THAT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE THOUSAND
DEEPER AND TOUGHER QUESTIONS
THAT YOU HAVE THE MUCH MORE
TEETH BECAUSE AGAIN YOU COME TO.
THE MEMBERS HERE AND SAY.
THIS.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATION WE
CURRENTLY HAVE. WE NEED YOU TO.
PONY UP THE MONEY. AND YOU MAY
HAVE A LEGISLATOR HERE WHO IS
INTO HOUSING BECAUSE THE HOUSING
CRISIS. OTHER ISSUES THAT WE'RE
DEALING WITH THE WE'RE GRAPPLING
ALL SIMULTANEOUSLY THE PUTS
FOLKS IN A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE
POSITION. GOING TO YOUR POINT
ORIGINALLY.
WHICH I AGREE.
ULTIMATELY.
TO THE GOVERNOR AND AND AND AND
THROUGH THIS LEGISLATIVE BRANCH
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
COMMITTED.
TWO INVESTING MORE MONEY IN
HIGHER EDUCATION MEL TO ME THE
BUCK STOPS WITH US IN THIS
BRANCH ALONG WITH THE GOVERNOR
AND YOU KNOW THERE'S NO QUESTION
ABOUT IT WE'RE ALL AGREEMENT.
BUT I GO TO THAT FOR REPRESENTED
YOUR PERSPECTIVE YOU KNOW RIGHT
THERE.
IN IN IN REALLY AGAIN I'M I'M
FOR RAISES MEAN LOVE THESE FOLKS
ARE PROBABLY LOW THEY DON'T MAKE
A LOT OF MONEY THERE ARE MAKING
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
YOU'D PROBABLY BARELY GETTING BY.
SUPPORTER BUT I GUESS AS A
LEGISLATOR THE VOTES ON THE
BUDGET. WE'RE IN A WEIRD SPOT
NOW RIGHT WE'RE NOW A LOOK AT WE
CUT THIS DEAL. WE DON'T HAVE THE
MONEY TO DO IT SO EITHER YOU
GIVE US MORE MONEY LEGISLATURE
OR WE HAVE TO RAISE FEES. I
WOULD RATHER IT WAS HEY LOOK AT
HERE'S OUR PLAN RIGHT WE BELIEVE
THE EMPLOYEES DESERVE THE MONEY
WE WANT TO GIVE THEM RAISES. CAN
WE GET AN ALLOCATION TO DO THAT
YOU KNOW IS HAVING ON THE FRONT
AND RAN THE BACK AND AND LOOK I
WAS IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT
UNDERSTAND HOW. COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING WORKS LOT OF TIMES
IT'S COMPLETELY OUT YOUR HAND
YOU HAVE PEOPLE TO DO IS LIKE
YOUR TABLE BARGAINING RIGHT. SO
ANYWAY I JUST I I I I HOPE WE
CAN ACCOMMODATE. THE RAISES
BECAUSE I CERTAINLY DON'T WANT
TO INCREASE THE FEES SO JUST.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT AS MR BURIAL
SAID NOW UNDERSTOOD AND THEN I
WANT TO SAY I AM A HUGE FAN OF
THIS ISSUE SEE SYSTEM YOU GUYS
HAVE DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB I
I'M I'M A UC GRADUATE. I LOVE
THE SEAS BUT ALL OF MY.
FRUSTRATION HAS BEEN WITH THE UC
SYSTEM AND HOW THEY DO THINGS IF
THEY IF THEY RAN THINGS LIKE YOU
ALL DID. I THINK I'D BE A MUCH
BETTER SYSTEM SO LET'S WORK ON
THESE BUDGETS IN THE THIS
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING LET'S MAKE
SURE WE HAVE THE MONEY BUT. YOU
WERE DOING A GREAT JOB IN THE
CSU SYSTEM IS IN GREAT SHAPE SO
ONLY WITNESSED. THE CARE MUCH
ABOUT MR VICE CHAIR ANY OTHER
MEMBER DISMISSED. WITH SECONDS.
READ HIM AND AND I FEEL SOMEWHAT
COMPELLED. THROUGH A COUPLE OF.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
NEGOTIATIONS. I FEEL COMPELLED
TO MAKE A COMMENT AND TAKE SOME
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS BECAUSE
WE HAVE TWO PEOPLE SITTING HERE.
ODD BEING CONFIRMED. BY AN
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS DIRECTLY.
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT I SAT AT A
TABLE AND SUGGESTED A WAY TO
WORK TOGETHER WHEN I WAS A
TRUSTEE. AND I HAD TRUSTEES AS
AN ELECTED APPOINTEE TO THAT
ARIZONA POINTY REPRESENTING THIS
LEGISLATURE. I WANT TO SET THE
STAGE FOR WHAT WE ARE UP AGAINST.
THESE WERE AWE AND THERE'S BEEN
SEVERAL.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING ODD YEN
AND PROCESS OVER THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS. BUT I WOULD JUST
SAY.
.
THERE IS A DISTINCTION TO BE
DRAWN BETWEEN.
YOU SEE NCSU AN APPROACH TO HOW
TO FIND OUR COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AND HIM AND SALARIES
FOR PROFESSORS.
AND THERE THEY HAD SOLVED A
NUMBER THEY HAD SETTLED A NUMBER.
THERE WAS ONE LEFT. AND.
THERE WAS ODD COMPARISONS THERE
WAS THERE WERE DEEP QUESTIONS
DEEP DIVES AND TRUSTEES AS I
RECALL ON THE RECORD IN IN OPEN
SESSION.
I BUT A LOT OF WORK HAD BEEN
DONE IN EXECUTIVE SESSION. I HAD
TO REALLY DIVE DEEP AND TRY TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO SOLVE A
PROBLEM. THAT LEGISLATORS WERE
ALSO PUTTING ON THEIR LAPS AND
LET ME GIVE YOU THE PARAMETERS.
ODD. FEET INCREASES TUITION
INCREASES OUR FACULTY. WHO
HADN'T HAD RACES IN A LONG TIME?
COMPARISONS BETWEEN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SALARIES AND YOU SEE
SALARIES OF FACULTY.
ADDITION TO OUR US PUTTING
STUDENT SUCCESS. THROUGH BUDGET
PROCESS BUDGET TRAILERS.
LEGISLATION.
.
GRADUATION RATE IT AS IT RELATED
TO STUDENT SUCCESS BUT ALSO
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF SLOTS
FOR STUDENTS IN ALL OF THE
UNIVERSITIES UP AND DOWN THE
STATE. THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE
GRAPPLING WITH AN UNDERSTOOD IN
A FAR RECALL SOME OF YOU MAY
RECALL THAT. I SEE IS YOU HAS
ONE OF THE BEST ADVOCACY
LOBBYING DAYS AS IT COMES TO
BUDGET. THEY HAVE OUR ALUMNI
STUDENTS THEY HAVE.
ALL OF THE BARGAINING FACULTY
ASSOCIATION ALL OF THESE SOCIAIS
TIONS. THE PRESIDENT'S COME UP
THEY BRING CURRENT STUDENTS THEY
BRING GRADUATE STUDENTS MISSILE
CONCEIVING CONVINCES TO PUT ON
THEIR SOCKS THE SOCKS THE
GLASSES THAT YOU KNOW. VERY
CLEVER AND AND I THINK I WOULD
JUST SAY I I'M I FEEL COMPELLED
TO TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY HERE
BECAUSE. THERE WAS A PLEA MADE
IT TO THE TRUSTEES. TO. DO IT
DIFFERENTLY AND THERE WERE
BUDGET ASK AS PART OF A PROCESS
THAT WAS IN IT YOU KNOW. FOR
MORE RESOURCES AND SO THEY SORT
OF ODD TOOK THE THE WE WILL WORK
WITH YOU. OUT WHICH WAS A PLEA
pFROM THE SPEAKER AT THAT TIME ME
AS WELL AS ARE. THE
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE SENATE
WHICH HAPPENS TO BE THE. THE
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR DOES SPEAK
RENT ON AT THE TIME THERE'S BEEN
TWO AND BOTH OF US HAVE WORKED
THROUGH THOSE ARE. UP PRICES BUT
I JUST WANTED I JUST WANNA SAY.
ARE YOU KNOW THERE IS A WAY TO
WORK TOGETHER AND WE ATTEMPTED
TO DO THAT IN A WAY THAT THAT
TOOK A LOT OF THE.
ANXIETY OUT OF THE PROCESS ARE.
OFF OF THE LEGISLATURE. AND WE
TOOK IT TO THE GOVERNOR IN TERMS
OF HOW TO. GO OVER THE
PERCENTAGE THAT THE GOVERNOR HAD
RECOMMENDED FOR UC AND CSU AND
WE MADE THAT PITCH. AND WE WERE
SOMEWHAT SUCCESSFUL IN TERMS OF
GETTING MORE MONEY OF BOTH
TIME SO.
I COULDN'T SIT HERE QUIETLY AND
NOT TAKE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THAT BOTH AS A TRUSTEE BUT THEN
ALSO. AS A LEGISLATOR.
EITHER EITHER WORK IT OUT
THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS
KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE COMMITMENT
YOU HAVE TO MAKE A SPECIALLY IF
WE'RE GOING TO PUT UP ON THEM.
MORE SLOTS FOR STUDENTS FOR OUR
CONSTITUENTS WHO SAY WE WANT OUR
KIDS TO BE ABLE TO GET IN TO SEE
ISSUE. SO I I DON'T DOUBT THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO CONTINUE TO ASK
THE DIFFICULT QUESTIONS AND TAKE
THIS BACK. OFF AND THEN PUT IT
BACK UP ON US AS WE GET TO THE
BUDGET PROCESS ARM.
BUT LET ME ADD LITTLE NET APP
BUT LET ME JUST SAY I THINK WHAT.
MISS ATKINS WITH THE WITH YOU
JUST ARTICULATED IS IS VERY
INSIGHTFUL BECAUSE IT GIVES US A
PERSPECTIVE. FOR EXAMPLE ON THE
SENATE SIDE. IN THE RULES
COMMITTEE WHICH WE DON'T HAVE
CONSTITUTIONALLY BECAUSE WE
DON'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO SIT AT
THE TABLE.
AS EITHER A TRUSTEE OR JUST EXPLAIN IN DETAIL. REALM
IS ACTUALLY VERY VERY INSIGHTFUL.
IS VERY INSIGHTFUL AND IS VERY
INSTRUCTIVE AS AS WELL TO.
NOT HAVING THEM.
THE ACCESS TO BE THERE AT AND
AND AND UNDERSTANDING ALL THE
DYNAMICS ARE HOPPING AS
SIMULTANEOUSLY.
AND THE WAY HE.
THE ARTICULATED WITH REGARDS TO
THE FEES THAT THE POTENTIAL
TUITION HIKES.
MORE. OF.
MATRICULATION YOU KNOW
ENROLLMENT SLOTS.
ALL THESE OTHER ASPECTS YOU
KNOW IN TERMS OF PARITY. WELL
MORE LEASE. RAISING THE.
THE THE FACULTY'S SALARIES AS
WELL AS IN A COMPARISON TO OTHER
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. THAT MAY
BE COMING IN AND TAKING FACULTY
MEMBERS HIGHLY VALUED FACULTY
MEMBERS AND. HAVING TO COMPETE
WITH OTHER FOLKS.
THAT IS VERY ACTION VERY
INSIGHTFUL AND AND I'M I'M I'M
I'M GLAD THAT.
YOU GAVE US THAT.
PERSPECTIVE WHICH IS A WHICH IS
THE WHICH IS A IS A PART OF IBM
ESERVER TO MAYBE I SHOULD HAVE
JUST BEEN MORE AT LESS%
DIPLOMATIC AND USED FEWER WORDS.
AND SAID WHAT WE ACTUALLY DID IS
WE SAY THAT FIGHT COMMON TO EACH
AND EVERYONE OF YOUR OFFICES. IN
A WAY THAT I RECALL YOU SEE
ISSUE HAS DONE AND MAYBE I
SHOULD'VE TRIED TO PROTECT AND
CONVINCE YOU TO PROTECT THE
COLLEAGUES. AND I SHOULD SAY
BRING IT ON AND LET'S DO IT THAT
WAY SO IN TERMS OF MY OF US
DOING IT THAT WAY. I DIDN'T
PROTECT YOU IN THE MOMENT THAT
YOU'RE HERE. BEING CONFIRMS BUT
WHAT WE DID DO IS.
EXTEND THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT
A MORE PEACEFUL WAY BUT IT IS
RESULTED IN YOUR BEING OUR.
QUESTION TODAY IN A WAY THAT I
THINK I FELT I NEEDED T
ENLIGHTEN OTHERS FOR MORE SO. SO
BRING A MIND THIS YEAR.
BRING EVERYBODY I WILL BE HERE
