THAT WE HAVE A FULL AGENDA TODAY
WITH MANY INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL
SHARE THEIR EXPERTISE.
AND EXPERIENCES FROM THEIR
CAMPUSES AS WE CONTINUE TO STUDY
THE BARRIERS TO TIMELY
GRADUATION AND STUDENT SUCCESS
IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO EXAMINE A
CRITICAL PIECE OF THIS PUZZLE.
HOW WELL ARE HIGHER EDUCATION
SYSTEMS ARE WORKING TO
STREAMLINE?
THE TRANSFER OF STUDENTS FROM
COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO OUR FOUR
YEAR INSTITUTIONS.
RECENT IMPROVEMENTS IN CS USE
FOR YOUR GRADUATION RATES GIVE
ME GREAT CAUSE FOR HOPE THAT
WE'RE ON THE RIGHT PATH.
NINETEEN OF THE TWENTY THREE
CAMPUSES HAVE SEEN INCREASES IN
THE LAST TWO YEARS. THANKS TO
THE CSU GRADUATION INITIATIVE.
AND THE LEGISLATURE'S ADOPTION
OF INCENTIVES TO HELP STUDENTS
ALONG.
THE LEGISLATURE HAS FOCUSED ON
THE TRANSFER ISSUE. SINCE THE
PASSAGE OF SP FOURTEEN FORTY AND
TWENTY TEN.
THAT LAW REQUIRES PARTICIPATING
CSU CAMPUSES
TO AUTOMATICALLY ACCEPT STUDENTS
WHO ARE AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER.
WELL MAJOR PROGRESS HAS BEEN
MADE CLEAR THAT. REMAIN TO
ENSURING THAT THE ASSOCIATE
DEGREE FOR TRANSFER PATHWAYS
WORK AS INTENDED.
SO FAR THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
AND THE CSU SYSTEMS HAVE AGREED
UPON. A TRANSFER MODEL
CURRICULUM AND FORTY DISCIPLINES
ACCORDING TO A SEPTEMBER TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN REPORT BY THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
THE NEXT STEP ITS REACH
COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO DEVELOP AN
EIGHTY T. PATHWAY MATCHING EACH
OF THESE TRANSFER MODELS.
NOW IF EVERY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
HAD DONE SO I'M TOLD. WE WOULD
HAVE MORE THAN FORTY FIVE
HUNDRED EIGHTY T. PATHWAYS BY
NOW.
BUT THE MOST RECENT NUMBERS SHOW
WE HAVE FEWER THAN TWENTY FOUR
HUNDRED.
AND THE VARIATIONS ACROSS
CAMPUSES ARE DRAMATIC.
EXAMPLE THE COLLEGE OF THE
DESERT AND SAN JOSE CITY COLLEGE
ARE SIMILAR IN SIZE.
BUT THE COLLEGE OF THE DESERT
OFFERS TWENTY NINE ASSOCIATE
DEGREE FOR TRANSFER.
WHILE SAN JOSE CITY OFFERS ONLY
FOURTEEN.
UNTIL THE TEN CAMPUSES OFFER TEN
OR FEWER EIGHTY TEASE
SO TODAY WILL ASK WHAT'S CAUSING
THIS VARIATION AND HOW CAN WE DO
BETTER.
BY OFFERING STUDENTS IN AT T. IN
HELPING THEM TRANSFER IS ONLY
THE BEGINNING. WE WANT THEM TO
GRADUATE.
FROM OUR FOUR YEAR INSTITUTIONS
AND TO DO SO AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE.
AND THEY'RE CERTAINLY
VARIATIONS IN THE GRADUATION
RATE AT THE CS USE BUT I'M
POLICE TO SAY THAT ON THE EIGHTY
T. PATHWAYS THOSE RATES ARE
SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME THERE ARE
A NUMBER OF FOLKS WHO DO
TRANSFER THAT.
ARE GRADUATING IN TWO YEARS AND
I'M INTERESTED IN KNOWING WHAT
STALLING THOSE THEIR PROGRESS AS
WELL.
SO WITH THAT WE HAVE A WONDERFUL
GROUP OF FOLKS TO HERE TO
TESTIFY.
I'D LIKE TO INVITE AT FIRST ARE
WONDERFUL CANCER FROM THE CAR
PARK CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. YOU YOU LOYALTIES
OAKLEY.
CHANCELLOR WELCOME.
ACTUALLY BEFORE WE OFFER YOU TO
IT WE ASK YOU TO BEGIN YOUR
TESTIMONY I WANT TO WELCOME. US
SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES TO HEAR TO
THE COMMITTEE. THOUGHT WERE
WELCOME. BUT SENATOR ALLEN CHAIR
OF THE I EDUCATION COMMITTEE A
SENATOR WELCOME CENTER WITH THE
WIND AYE AND ANY OF YOU LIKE TO
OFFER ANY OPENING ANY THOUGHTS.
WE'RE GOOD GREAT CHANCE SIR
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR OF FOR
BEING HERE WE OBVIOUSLY. ALL OF
US ON THE DAY AS NO OF YOUR
BACKGROUND THAT WE. CAN WORK AT
LONG BEACH AND AND THE FOCUS
THAT YOU HAD ON CREATING
PATHWAYS IN YOUR SERVICE THERE
AND WE LOOK FOR YOUR INSIGHT
ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW WITH
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES WELCOME.
THANK YOU.
FOR YOUR GLAZER. MEMBERS.
OF.
BETTER.
GREAT GOOD MORNING. OF THANK
CENTER GRACEFULLY INVITATION
THANK YOU THE MEMBERS OF THE
SELECT COMMITTEE FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT
CALIFORNIA'S ME COLLEGES AND
IT'S FOR IMPORTANT TOPIC.
THE ASSOCIATE DEGREE TRANSIT
FIRST SEMI BEGAN BY.
INTRODUCING SOME MEMBERS IN THE
AUDIENCE.
TODAY.
YESTERDAY AND TODAY WE HAVE.
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEETING
FOR THE CALIFORNIA COMMITTEE
COLLEGES.
SO THEY WERE VERY INTERESTED IN
HEARING THIS DISCUSSION SO MANY
OF THEM ARE HERE SO I'D LIKE TO
ASK MEMBERS OF THE BOARD OF
GOVERNOR TO STAND. AND BE
RECOGNIZED THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE.
WE HAVE A FEW NEW MEMBERS SO
PLEASE BE KIND TO THEM DURING
CONFIRMATION. THAT I THINK.
SO LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING
HOMELESS GUY YEAH.
SO LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING THAT.
I'M.
THAT'S BE FOURTEEN FORTY THE
ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE FOR TRANSFER.
IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
PIECES OF LEGISLATION I BELIEVE
IN THE LAST. TEN YEARS IT HAS
STREAMLINED TO TRANSFER PATHWAY.
FOR THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF
STUDENTS.
BETWEEN THE CALIFORNIA
COMMITTEE COLLEGES IN THE
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
SYSTEM THIS IS THE HEART OF OUR
WORKFORCE THAT TRANSFER PROCESS
BETWEEN COMMUTE COLLEGE IN THE
CSU. IS THE BACKBONE I BELIEVE
OF A BACK LAURIE PRODUCTION HERE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
BUT CERTAINLY.
THERE NEEDS TO BE MORE WORK ARE
IN ADDITION WE NEED TO CONTINUE
TO FIND.
WAYS TO CREATE THE SAME
PATHWAYS TO THE UNIVERSITARIOS.
BUT IT REMAINS.
ó ONE OF THE MOST PROMISING
DEVELOPMENTS.
IN TERMS OF GETTING MORE
STUDENTS IN IS CSU.
CERTAINLY MY TIME IN THE SYSTEM.
SO.
WHAT WAS A PROBLEM THE TRANSFER
PROCESS?
WAS DESCRIBED AS BEING
CONFUSING AND VERY DIFFICULT FOR
STUDENTS TO NAVIGATE
SUCCESSFULLY. THIS RESULTED IN
VERY LOW TRANSFER RATES AS WELL
AS.
TREMENDOUS CREDIT ACCUMULATIONS
OF STUDENTS WERE TRANSFERRING
WORTH MORE CREDITS AND THEY
NEEDED TO THIS YES YOU.
SO.
THE PROBLEM THAT S. B. FOURTEEN
FORTY WAS TRYING TO RESOLVE WAS
ONE CREATE A VERY CLEAR PATHWAY.
FOR STUDENTS.
IF YOU.
A IF YOU HAVE EPERIENCE WORKING
IN OUR SSTEM YOU REALIZE THAT.
A WITHOUT SOME INFORMATION
WITHOUT PARENTS OR A NETWORK OF
SUPPORTERS IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT ARE THE
TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS FROM A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO PARTICULAR
CSU CAMPUS. AND IN MANY CASES
SOME COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND LONG
BEACH WAS ONE OF THEM.
HAD SPECIFIC AGREEMENTS WITH A
LOCAL CSU.
SO IN ORDER TO SMOOTH THAT OUT
LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD WE
CREATED THE ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE
FOR TRANSFER WHICH CREATED A
GUARANTEED PATHWAY.
THE SONG IS.
STUDENTS ACHIEVE THE REQUIRED
SIXTY UNITS AT THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
THROUGH ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER PATHWAY THEY COULD BE
GUARANTEED JUNIOR STANDING AT
THE CSU.
AND SO THINGS HAVE PROGRESSED
SINCE SB FOURTEEN FORTY HAS
PASSED.
AN IS.
CENTER GLACIER MENTIONED.
WHAT WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO
IT'S CREATED?
THOUSANDS OF NEW PATHWAYS.
IN TWENTY THIRTEEN S. B. FOR
FORTY AMENDED.
THE ACT TO REQUIRE CAN YOU
COLLEGES TO DEVELOP. ADT FOR ALL
DISCIPLINES OFFERED AT THE
CAMPUS FOR WHICH TRANSFER MODEL
CURRICULUM EXISTED.
WHEN WE FIRST STARTED UM AND
PART OF THE CHALLENGE THAT.
THINNER GLACIER MENTION.
WAS IT COLLEGES WERE REQUIRED TO
SELF REPORT HOW MANY OF THESE
ASSOCIATES DEGREES. THEY WERE
OFFERING WITHIN THE TRANSFER
MODEL CURRICULUM.
SO SINCE THEN WE'VE MADE.
CERTAIN AMENDMENTS TO TRYING
GET MORE COMMUNICABLE JUST TO
OFFER THE FULL BREATH.
OF ASSOCIATE DEGREES HOWEVER IF
A COMMUNITY COLLEGE DID NOT HAVE
THAT ASSOCIATES DEGREE.
BUT IN THEIR CATALOG THEY WERE
NOT REQUIRED.
TO CREATE ONE.
A ALTHOUGH MANY HAVE BEGUN TO
CREATE THOSE.
PATHWAYS IF THE NIMITZ IF THE
DEMAND IS THERE.
SINCE TWENTY ELEVEN THE NUMBER
OF EIGHTY TEASE HAVE STEADILY
INCREASED TODAY THERE ARE OVER.
TWENTY THREE HUNDRED ACTIVE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER.
TRANSFER OFFERED IN FORTY
DISCIPLINES MORE THAN SIX
HUNDRED EIGHTY TEAS WERE
DEVELOPED IN DISCIPLINES. WHERE
THE COLLEGES WERE NOT
STATUTORILY REQUIRED TO DO SO
GOOD MORNING CENTER PORTANTINO?
BOTTOM THE NUMBER OF GRADUATES
WITH EIGHTY TEETH ESTELI
INCREASE FROM SEVEN HUNDRED
SEVENTY TWO GRADUATES IN TWENTY
ELEVEN TWELVE.
TO OVER THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND
ABOUT IN TWENTY SIXTEEN
SEVENTEEN SO AS YOU CAN SEE
STUDENTS ARE VOTING WITH THEIR
FEET THIS IS SOMETHING THAT
STUDENTS WANT.
AND THEY ARE CHOOSING THE ADT
WERE AVAILABLE.
EARLY OUTCOMES FOR THE ADT
STUDENTS ARE PROMISING FOR
STUDENTS WHO TRANSFER TO THE
SEATS YOU SYSTEM IN FALL TWENTY
THIRTEEN THE GRADUATION RATES.
WERE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN
THAT OF STUDENTS WHO TRANSFERRED
WITHOUT THE ADT.
SO NOT ONLY OUR STUDENTS
CHOOSING THE ADT. BUT THEY'RE
GRADUATING AND SIMILAR IF NOT.
MORE NUMBERS THAN TRADITIONAL
ASSOCIATE DEGREE PATHWAYS.
SO.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF NEW
DEVELOPMENTS OUT WE CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH THE CSU.
TO SMOOTH OUT FURTHER SOME
WITHOUT THESE TRANSFER PATHWAYS
YOU WANT TO ENSURE THAT NOT ONLY
TO ALL TWENTY THREE CAMPUSES OF
THE CSU. ACCEPTABLE THE EIGHTY
TEAS AND ENCOURAGE THEIR LOCAL
COMMUNICABLE JEWS TO DEVELOP THE
EIGHTIES BUT WE IT'S A
COMMUNICATIVE SYSTEM.
NEED TO DO MORE TO ENCOURAGE.
ALL OF OUR HUNDRED FOURTEEN
COLLEGES TO DEVELOP. AS MANY IF
NOT ALL OF THE ADT PATHWAYS THAT
ARE AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS.
AND SO THAT IS A PUSH THAT WE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO DO THE BOARD
OF GOVERNORS HAS BEEN VERY
ACTIVE IN RECEIVING REPORTS. AND
REACTING TO THOSE REPORTS ASKING
THE SYSTEM TO DO MORE.
.
IN ADDITION THERE IS ANOTHER
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA.
WHICH AT THE TIME AS BE FOURTEEN
FORTY PASSED.
IT YOU SEE WITH NOT INCLUDED
BECAUSE OF THEIR.
A CONSTITUTIONAL ECONOMY.
BUT.
WE HAVE CONTINUE TO ENCOURAGE
YOU SEE TO DEVELOP.
THE SAME TRANSFER PATHWAYS AND
I'M HAPPY TO SAY THAT.
ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF AGO.
PRESIDENT JANET POLITECNICA
HAVE A SPEECH IN SAN FRANCISCO.
COMMITTING HERSELF.
TO DEVELOPING ADT PATHWAYS.
AND TO CREATING.
MORE STREAMLINED TRANSFER
PATHWAYS
FROM COMMITTEE COLLEGE TWO THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SO I'M
HAPPY TO BE WORKING.
ITS PRINCE PRESIDENT PAUL TOWN
OR WORKING ON A. DRAFT
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN HER SEAT TO SYSTEMS
RIGHT NOW TO ENSURE THAT WE
REACH THAT GOAL.
SO.
THE FINAL THING I'LL SAY
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT.
YA WANNA HAS QUESTION IS.
IN ADDITION TO THE ASSOCIATE
DEGREE FOR TRANSFER LAST YEAR
THE LEGISLATURE.
APPROVED.
OF FOR FUNDING FOR THE GUIDED
PATHWAYS FRAMEWORK GUIDED
PATHWAYS FRAMEWORK HAS BEEN
IMPLEMENTED ALL OF OUR HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES.
IN IS MEANT TO STREAMLINE COURSE
TAKING PATTERNS AS A COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND ALIGN THEM WITH THE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER.
SO WE HAVE THE MECHANISMS IN
PLACE TO CONTINUE TO GROW THE
NUMBER OF EIGHTY TEACH WE HAVE
THE FRAMEWORK IN PLACE TO
CONTINUE TO FOCUS. ON THE KINDS
OF CLEAR COURSE TAKING PATTERNS
THAT ARE BUILT INTO THE ADT SO
WE ENCOURAGE YOUR CONTINUED
SUPPORT. OF THE ADT PROCESS WE
THINK IT'S THE RIGHT DIRECTION.
AND ANYTHING DESPOTIC CAN DO
SUPPORT THAT DIRECTION WE'D
APPRECIATE
SO WITH THAT I WILL STOP IN A BE
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THANK YOU CHANCE FOR THANK YOU
CANCER AND I KNOW. THAT HE OF
AYE TESTIMONY BEFORE. A BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE IN ABOUT TEN
MINUTES SO WE DON'T HAVE TOO
MUCH TIME I WANT TO LOOK AT
HIGHS RATHER STAY HERE.
.
UNDERSTOOD. SENATOR PORTANTINO'S
JOINED US I WANT TO WELCOME. TO
OUR COMMITTEE HEARING WILL LET
ME START WITH THE QUESTION I
POSED AT THE BEGINNING SO. WE'VE
OBVIOUSLY MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS
AND THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE TO
THANK FOR THAT.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME.
WE SEE YOU KNOW BIG DIFFERENCES
IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND
AND HIS OFFERING THESE EIGHTY
TEASE.
I'M.
YEAH I AT IT ADDITION TO
REPORTING IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE
THAT CAN BE DONE TO FLAG THAT
PLACES WHERE. THAT WE DON'T
REALLY SEE AT ENGAGEMENT LIKE
WE'D LIKE TO THIS.
PATHWAYS SO.
YES AND FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAY
THAT.
LAST YEAR THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS ADOPTED.
THE VISION FOR SUCCESS WHICH IS
CLUB A STRATEGIC VISION FOR THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
THAT VISION.
INCLUDES ENSURING THAT WE
INCREASE THE AMOUNT OF TRANSFERS
TO SEE IS YOU AND YOU SEE.
BY THIRTY FIVE PERCENT ANNUALLY.
SO THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS HAS
MADE A COMMITMENT TO PUSHING FOR
INCREASED TRANSFERRED TO BOTH OF
THOSE SYSTEMS.
SO WITH THAT IMPETUS.
WE HAVE BEGUN TO LOOK AT OUR
OWN INTERNAL.
.
GUIDANCE OUR REGULATIONS. AND AS
WE GET ADDITIONAL FUNDING WE
WANNA TIE.
A THE PRODUCTION OF ASSOCIATE
DEGREE FOR TRANSFERRED TO A LOT
OF THOSE MECHANISM SO THAT WE
ARE INCENTIVIZING.
COLLEGES TO DEVELOP THE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER.
WE CERTAINLY HAVE RECOGNIZED AND
YOU'LL HEAR TODAY.
A RESEARCH IS CLEARLY SHOWN.
THAT ONE OF THE BEST WAYS TO
INCREASE A TRANSFER IS TO ADOPT
MORE EIGHTY TICKETS.
SO.
WE'RE COMMITTED AS THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE TO WORKING
WITH THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS TO
SEND THAT MESSAGE LOUD AND CLEAR
TO OUR COLLEGES.
TO CREATE A REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS INTO TIED THOSE
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS TO
GREATER TRANSFER PRODUCTION AND.
BY WHICH BUT WE EXPECT THAT WE
WOULD SEE MORE ASSOCIATE DEGREE
FOR TRANSFER.
GREAT AND I.
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THAT HAS
TO HAPPEN IN THE AREA OF
TECHNOLOGY TO HELP KIDS STAY ON
THE RIGHT PATH WAY FROM WHEN
THEY BEGIN TO WHEN THEY FINISH.
ARE THERE ANY THAT I WAS LOOKING
AT A COURSE CATALOG FOR OF FOR
ONE UNIVERSITY MY DISTRICT.
AND I'M.
AND I I DON'T KNOW THE IT THIS
IS A PROBLEM ACROSS THAT THAT
THE WHOLE SYSTEM BUT. YOU KNOW
IT'S IT'S IT'S THERE'S NO LIKE
ONE ONE CLEAR DESIGNATION BY A
NUMBER.
ITEMS HAS WHAT IS ON THAT THAT
YOU KNOW PATHWAY TRACK IT'S
EVERYTHING IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
IT SAYS WHETHER IT'S APPLICABLE
TO YOU SEE IN ONE PLACE FOR CSU
ANOTHER. IS THERE ANY KIND OF.
SYSTEM WIDE STANDARDS THAT ONE
CAN CREATE IT WITHIN THE
TECHNOLOGY THAT STUDENTS IN IRAQ
WITH THAT CAN HELP IN THIS AREA
AT ALL.
WELL THAT IS A GREAT TOPIC AND
SHOULD BE A HEARING UNTO ITSELF
BUT.
YES.
THERE IS A MOVEMENT.
AN INITIATIVE CALLED THE A
COURSE IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM.
AND THAT IS.
WE ARE WORKING OUR ACADEMIC
SENATE'S ARE WORKING TOGETHER TO
ASSIGN CALMING COURSE NUMBER
RAIN TO ALL OF THE. COURSES THAT
ARE CONTAINED WITHIN THE
TRANSFER PATHWAY.
SO THAT IS CLEAR WHETHER YOU ARE
TAKING A CLASS AT TO A. TENER
ROSA JUNIOR COLLEGE OR
SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE AND.
CHULA VISTA.
THAT THE NUMBERING SYSTEM IT'S
THE SAME AND IT SHOULD BE THE
SAME IN THE C. ITS USE WELL AND
QUITE FRANKLY SHOULD BE THE SAME
IN THE UC FOR ALL UNDERGRADUATE
EDUCATION. US SO THAT IS AN
EFFORT NO.
THAT IS RIGHT NOW POEM. A
VOLUNTARY EFFORT.
CERTAINLY THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS THAT IT'S BEEN PUSHING
ON THAT WILL HEAR REPORT LATER
TODAY.
BUT WE NEED TO DO MORE.
AND WE NEED TO USE TECHNOLOGY
AND.
.
QUITE FRANKLY.
THE TOOLS AVAILABLE FOR
STUDENTS.
ARE.
BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT ALL OF
THE FEEDBACK YOU GET JUST FROM
YOUR BANK ON YOUR IPHONE. WE
SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO THE SME
THING FOR STUDENTS AS A LOOK AT
THE CLASSES THEY NEED TO TAKE IN
ORDER TO TRANSFER.
THE.
CALIFORNIA COLLEGE GUIDANCE
INITIATIVE HAS TRIED TO DO THAT.
THE THE STATE HAS FUNDED THAT
EFFORT BUT WE NEED TO PUT THAT
EFFORT ON STEROIDS QUITE FRANKLY
AND.
BUT WHILE WE APPRECIATE AND
SUPPORT AND ACKNOWLEDGED THE
WORK OF OUR FACULTY WE NEED TO
FIND A WAY TO SPEED THAT PROCESS
UP US SO THAT TECHNOLOGY CAN
HARNESS.
THAT INFORMATION BE ABLE TO
DELIVER IT TO STUDENTS A IN A
REAL TIME BASIS SO THAT THEY
HAVE MUCH BETTER TOOLS FOR
ADVICE A. GREAT THANK YOU CANCER
QUESTIONS FROM MY COLLEAGUES
HERE ON THE.
SENATOR PORTANTINO.
LAST YEAR. GOOD TO SEE YOU.
LAST YEAR ARE WE WORKED ON THE.
.
MAKING SURE STUDENTS ACTUALLY
GET THERE.
BEST SUCH A DEGREE FOR TRANSFER
THANK QUALIFIED WITH ENOUGH
CREDITS THAT THERE'S A SORT OF
BUT. I DON'T HE'S WERE
DISCONNECT BUT THERE'S A THAT
ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUE ON CAMPUSES
WHERE STUDENTS.
GET THE CREDITS THEY NEED TO GET
THE DEGREE. BUT IF THEY DON'T
PROACTIVELY ASKED FOR THEY DON'T
GET AWARD AND THE DEGREE AND SO.
COULD YOU TOUCH UPON ANY
OBVIOUSLY THE GOVERNOR DIDN'T.
SEE IT THE WAY YOU AND I
THOUGHT.
RESIDENT HAS A PROBLEM THAT
NEEDED A SOLUTION BUT HAVE THERE
BEEN STEPS SINCE LAST YEAR'S
LEGISLATIVE ATTEMPT TO TRY TO
ADDRESS THAT ISSUE. YES IT JUST
SEEMS LIKE EVERY STUDENT EARNS
THE CREDITS THEY SHOULD GET BUT
AGREE WHETHER THEY ASK FOR YOU
TO HAVE TO ASK FOR YOUR HIGH
SCHOOL DIPLOMA YOU GET
AUTOMATICALLY WHEN YOU QUALIFY
SO RIPE INTERNALLY AND WE TRIED
TO ADDRESS THAT. YET SO ON ONE
LEVEL THE ASSOCIATE EGREE FOR
TRANSFER DOES THAT SO YOU KNOW
IF YOU'RE AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE
FOR TRANSFER PATH WHERE YOU WILL
AUTOMATICALLY BE AWARDED. THE
ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE AS YOU
TRANSFER THERE IS A LOT OF WORK
BEING DONE THROUGH EITHER.
PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY OR THROUGH
INNOVATION AWARDS TO CREATE
PERVERSE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND
IN THE C. ISSUES SO THAT
WHETHER.
A STUDENT ACHIEVES ITS SOCIAL
SECURITY AT OCONEE COLLEGE
CAMPUS OR THEN.
SATISFIED HE ASSOCIATES DEGREE
WHEN THEY'RE ANA CSU CAMPUS THAT
THAT.
CERTIFICATE OR THAT DEGREE IS
AWARDED.
AUTOMATICALLY.
SO WE HAVE SEVERAL PILOTS IN
THE SYSTEM RIGHT NOW THEY'RE
LOOKING AT THAT.
AND WE HOPE TO ENCOURAGE THAT
BECAUSE WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT
IF A STUDENT EARNS A CREDENTIAL
THAT THEY HAVE IN THEIR HAND
THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO APPLY FOR
IT THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO ASK
FOR. US SO WE NEED TO DO A
BETTER JOB OF INCENTIVIZE IN
THAT BEHAVIOR RAGS THERE IS A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF STUDENTS
WHO HAVE THE NECESSARY CREDITS
BUT DON'T GET THE DEGREE. YES
CURRENTLY A MOST COLLEGES THEY
HAVE TO APPLY TO GET.
ADD THAT TO A DEGREE CERTIFIED
AND AWARDED.
SO WE NEED TO GO WITH THE
AVAILABILITY OF DATA AND
TECHNOLOGY WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
DO THAT AND MUCH MORE EFFICIENT
MANNER SO THAT STUDENT DOES NOT
HAVE TO.
PROACTIVELY GO SEARCHING FOR
THEIR CREDENTIALS ESPECIALLY
SINCE WE KNOW THAT WHEN THEY
HAVE THAT CREDENTIAL THEY DO
BETTER IN THEIR NEXT.
ABSOLUTELY TH SO THANK YOU
ABSOLUTELY IN AND I APOLOGIZE A
MAY HAVE TO LEAVE IN A FEW
MINUTES BUT WE HAVE EXECUTIVE
VICE CHANCELLOR LOWER HOPE. WHO
IS ACTUALLY THE EXPERTS? AND
SHOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER MORE
QUESTIONS. SHE TAUGHT ME
EVERYTHING I KNOW. THAT WE'RE
GONNA LET YOU GO TO MORE WE'RE
GONNA LET YOU GOT MORE IMPORTANT
THINGS CANCER BUT I THANK YOU
FOR YOUR WONDERFUL LEADERSHIP. I
KNOW WE HAVE MANY MORE
CONVERSATIONS ON THIS IMPORTANT
TOPIC AND WE APPRECIATE ALL YOUR
WORK ACT TOGETHER WITH US AND
THE OTHER SYSTEMS THANK YOU
THANK YOU AND AND TO THE SELECT
COMMITTEE FOR BRINGING UP THIS
VERY IMPORTANT TOPIC.
GREAT LA AS THE CHANCELLOR UP
PREPARES TO GO TO THE BUDGET
COMMITTEE AND OUR OTHER HOUSE.
LET ME WELCOME THAT PANEL
NUMBER TWO HANS JOHNSON AND
JESSE RYAN FROM ON UP.
AND AS YOU'RE COMING OUT LET ME
MENTION THAT WE'RE GONNA START
WITH THE HEINZ.
HINES IS A LEAD SENIOR FELLOW
AT THE PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE
OF CALIFORNIA.
WHO'S DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH ON
WHETHER THE CSU AND YOU SEE ARE
EQUIPPED TO.
I'M SURE STUDENTS MEET
ELIGIBILITY FOR TRANSFER.
I KNOW THAT AS THE CENTER
DIRECTOR YOU WORK WITH A TEAM OF
RESEARCHERS TWO I. IDENTIFY
POLICIES THAT CAN IMPROVE
COLLEGE ACCESS AND COMPLETION.
FUNDS WE THANK YOU FOR.
THAT COULD WORK AND CERTAINLY.
BY YOUR STUDY THAT IDENTIFIED A.
SHORTAGE OF ONE POINT ONE
MILLION. DEGREES BY TWENTY
THIRTY IS A GREAT MOTIVATOR FOR
US IN THE POLICY ARENA TO. SEE
WHAT WE CAN DO MORE TO IMPROVE.
OUR HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM A
LOT OF AREAS INCLUDING THE
TRANSFER RATE SO THEY WELCOME
YOU HERE. THANKS THANKS SO MUCH
SENATOR GLAZER AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE.
I HAVE A HANDOUT THAT I'M GOING
TO BE SPEAKING FROM THAT I THINK
YOU WERE YOU WERE GIVEN. IT'S
THIS ONE THAT SAYS TESTIMONY
TRANSFER IS KEY TO CLOSING THE
WORKFORCE SKILLS GAP AND YOU
IDENTIFIED BY THE START ON THE
BOTTOM. ACTUALLY FOR THOSE OF
YOU IN THE AUDIENCE BICU ONE
FOLLOW ALONG KELLY.
MY EXTRA COPIES.
SOME ON THE TAPE.
YOU DO HAVE THE YEAH YEAH GREAT.
SO FIRST LET ME JUST GIVE A
LITTLE BIT OF CONTEXT OF THE
SENATOR MENTIONED ARE WORKED IT
IS IDENTIFIED THE NEED TO
PRODUCE FAR FASTER SURGERIES.
I THINK THE CHALLENGE IS QUITE
CLEAR.
.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
OPPORTUNITIES FOR US TO
INTERCEDE ARE ALONG THE PATHWAY
OF A STUDENT'S EXPERIENCE FROM
NINTH GRADE THROUGH MY INTO
COLLEGE AND THEN THROUGH COLLEGE
AT AND FINALLY ACTUALLY EVEN
INTO THE WORKFORCE.
SO.
THE CHART ON THE BOTTOM OF PAGE
ONE SHOWS YOU OF THE PIPELINE AS
IT CURRENTLY EXISTS IN
CALIFORNIA.
WE'VE LOOKED AT CURRENT RATES OF
TRANSITION A THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL
AND INTO COLLEGE AND THEN.
COMPLETING COLLEGE.
AND LOOK AT WHAT THAT MEANT FOR
A COHORT OF ONE THOUSAND NINE
GRADE IS IN CALIFORNIA.
AND.
I AT WHAT YOU'LL SEE IS AT THE
END OF THE DAY OUT OUT ONE
THOUSAND COHORT ONE THOUSAND.
IS NO STUDENTS ARE IN NIGHT
RAID.
ABOUT THREE HUNDRED FIVE FOR
JUST OVER THIRTY PERCENT WILL
END UP EARNING A BACHELOR'S
DEGREE IN CALIFORNIA.
AND AND THAT'S TO LOW POWER
THAT'S FAR BELOW WHAT WE NEED IN
TERMS OF OUR ECONOMY.
AND THAT WE'RE NOT DOING A GOOD
ENOUGH JOB THAT SERVING STUDENTS
IN CALIFORNIA. WHEN THE NUMBERS
THAT LOW. SO THEN WE LOOK WE CAN
LOOK AT WHAT WHERE WHERE DOES
THIS PIPELINE KIND OF A BREAK
BREAKDOWN.
AND YOU'LL SEE CERTAINLY WILL
LOSE SOME STUDENTS WHO DON'T
EVEN GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL
ALTHOUGH HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION
RATES ARE GETTING BETTER.
AND THEN WE ACTUALLY DO A
PRETTY GOOD JOB AT GETTING
STUDENTS INTO COLLEGE I IF YOU
LOOK AT THOSE TWO BOXES OF THE
ONE IS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES
ARE THE OTHER ONE IS FOR FOUR
YEAR COLLEGES AND THIS INCLUDES
PRIVATE NON PROFITS.
AS WELL AS YOU SEE IN CSU AND
IN FACT COLLEGES AND OTHER
STATES.
YOU'LL SEE THAT WELL OVER TWO
THIRDS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES IN CALIFORNIA AND UP
GOING TO A COLLEGE.
WE RANK FIFTH IN THE NATION IN
THE SHARE OF HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES THAT GO TO A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SERVE. NEAR THE VERY TOP
AMONG ALL STATES.
BUT WE RANK FORTY SEVENTH IN THE
NATION IN THE SHARE THE GO TO A
FOUR YEAR COLEGE OR UNIVERSITY.
FOR ALIFORNIA PARTLY BY DESIGN
PARTLY BY ACCIDENT HAS.
PLACED A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF.
EMPHASIS AND CONFIDENCE IN OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM AND I
THINK THAT'S THAT'S FINE ARE AT
THINK IT'S IT'S GREAT IN FACT
BECAUSE COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE
ARE THOSE FORTY SEVEN THE NATION
IN JERSEY GOING IMMEDIATELY TO
FOR YOUR EVENTUALLY BEFORE
YOU'RE GOING WITHIN.
EIGHTEEN MONTHS OF GRADUATION
OF HIGH SCHOOL SO OKAY PRETTY
PRETTY QUICKLY THAT I SUGGEST
THAT WE'VE.
OUR WHOLE SYSTEM IT SKEWS TOWARD
GOING TO COMMITTEE COLLEGE
VERDICTS OUT OF HIGH SCHOOL IN
PAIRS OUT OF A THREAT IN FACT
YOU KNOW THAT. THAT THE OTHER
STATES THAT RANK HIGHER THAN US
ON THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SPECTRUM. ALSO HAVE HIGHER RATES
OF FOR YOUR COLLEGE GOING THAN
WE DO SO.
WERE UNIQUE AMONG STATES AND
PLACING SO MUCH EMPHASIS ON
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AGAIN THAT'S.
I'D MEANS AND THERE'S THIS
TRANSFER CHALLENGE WHICH IS THEN
THAT LITTLE BOX THERE THAT YOU
SEE OUT OF THOSE THREE HUNDRED
SIXTY TWO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
FROM OUR INITIAL COHORT. OF
NINTH GRADERS.
OUT OF THOSE THREE HUNDRED SIX
TO GO TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE ONLY
ONE HUNDRED FORTY FIVE TRANSFER
AND REALIZE THAT FOR STUDENTS
WHO GO TO COMMITTEE COLLEGES.
SHORTLY AFTER COMPLETING HIGH
SCHOOL. THE OVERWHELMING
MAJORITY OF THEM HAVE AS THEIR
EDUCATIONAL GOAL TO TRANSFER AND
EARNED A FOUR YEAR DEGREE THERE
ARE SOME OF COURSE TO WHO ARE
INTERESTED IN EARNING
CERTIFICATES. SOME WHO ARE
INTERESTED NURSES SOCIUS REASON
NOT CONTINUING BUT THAT'S VERY
SMALL FOR THE VAST MAJORITY OF
THAT THREE HUNDRED SIXTY TWO DO
SEEK.
TO TO TRANSFER AND YET ONLY A
HUNDRED FORTY FIVE DO THIS IS
ACTUALLY A SINGLE WEAKEST POINT
IN OUR PIPELINE WHEN WE'RE
LOOKING AT THIS A MOVEMENT FROM.
NINTH GRADE ALL THE WAY TO ABOUT
HISTORY OKAY SO LET'S LET'S THEN
TURN TO HOW TO HOW DO WE SOLVE
IT SO THERE'S THE NUMERIC ANSWER
WHICH I HAVE ON PAGE TWO.
WHICH LAYS OUT I'M FROM PP I
SEIZE STANDPOINT WAYS THAT WE
COULD CLOSE THE DEGREE GAP FOR
THE WORKFORCE SKILLS CAPITALIST
IS FOCUS ON TRANSFER. SO WE
IDENTIFIED A CURRENT ANNUAL
LEVELS OF TRANSFER TO YOU SEE IN
CSU OR FOCUSING ON THOSE
INSTITUTIONS RIGHT NOW BUT I'M
WE HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT
PRIVATE NON PROFITS AS WELL.
AND YOU'LL SEE THAT AT CURRENT
LEVELS WORD ABOUT LITTLE OVER
THE ALMOST FOURTEEN THOUSAND YOU
SEE WHEN WE DID THE STUDY ANNUAL
STUDENT SEES MORE ABOUT THAT
MINUTE. AT FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND
AT THAT CSU ARE ARE CLOSING THE
GAP TARGET WAS TO INCREASE THOSE
NUMBERS ANNUAL NUMBERS BY THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT. UP WITHIN FIVE
YEARS SO ABOUT A SEVEN PERCENT
INCREASE FOR FIVE YEARS IN A ROW
WOULD GET US TO A THIRTY FIVE
PERCENT INCREASE FROM AND THIS
IS ACTUALLY.
OR WILL SEE IN A MINUTE
SOMETHING THAT WERE WERE ON A
PATH TO DO.
WE WOULD NEED TO CONTINUE TO
SUSTAIN INCREASES AFTER THIS
POINT TO CLOSE THE GAP.
BUT. THESE NUMBERS ARE. NOTABLE
THAT BUT NOT NOT IMPOSSIBLE AND
IN FACT I SHOULD HIGHLIGHT A
VERY CLEARLY THAT.
CHANCELLOR ó PLEASE OF VISION
FOR SUCCESS
OUR HOUSE IS ONE OF ITS GOALS OF
THIRTY FIVE PERCENT INCREASE IN
TRANSFER OVER THE NEXT FIVE
YEARS HAS ACTUALLY ONE OF THE
PEOPLE WHO. SERVED AS A.
CONSULTANT NINE NO INFORMAL
CONSOLE NAM AND ADVISORY GROUP
FOR THE VISION FOR SUCCESS AND I
WAS VERY PLEASED TO SEE THAT
THEY ADOPTED DOT CALL. SO NOW
LET'S TURN TO PAGE THREE. AND
YOU'LL SEE HOW WE'RE DOING IN
TERMS OF TRANSFER.
TWO YEARS INTO PP I SEIZE
PROJECTIONS THE GOLD ON DAST
LINE. ARE PP I SEIZE PROJECTIONS
YOU'LL SEE YOU SEE IN THE TOP
PANEL AND SEE IF YOU ON THE
BOTTOM PANEL. AND THE FIRST
THING US LOOK AT YOU SEE SO UC'S
NUMBERS WERE FAIRLY FLAT FOR
ABOUT FIVE OR SIX YEARS THERE.
AND THEN.
THE STATE.
REINVESTED IN A HIGHER
EDUCATION AS WE CAME OUT OF THE
RECESSION PROVIDED ADDITIONAL
FUNDING FOR BOTH UC AND CSU. AND
IN THE CASE SO YOU SEE WAS VERY
EXPLICIT AND TYING SOME OF THAT
FUNDING TO INCREASES IN
ENROLLMENT FOR SPECIFICALLY. I
THINK IT WAS A TWENTY FIVE
MILLION DOLLAR INCREASE FOR
ENROLLING FIVE THOUSAND
ADDITIONAL STUDENTS.
IN IN ONE YEAR AND THEN.
MORE IN A SECOND YEAR AND
YOU'LL SEE THAT YOU SEE
RESPONDED VERY STRONGLY.
THERE IS A HUGE INCREASE IN
TRANSFER IN THE FIRST YEAR WHEN
THAT BUDGET WAS ENACTED AND THAT
ACTUALLY HAD PUT YOU SEE.
ABOVE OUR THIRTY FIVE PERCENT
GOAL. A GREAT AGAIN WE STILL
NEED TO MOVE.
THAT. FORWARD.
AND AND THE CHILD STILL REMAINS
GREAT. BUT THIS IS GOOD NEWS.
ACTIONS TAKEN BY POLICY MAKERS.
ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE
INSTITUTIONS.
HAVE SO WHAT WE NEED TO DO GOING
FORWARD.
WE HAVE A THREE RECOMMENDATIONS
FIRST. THE STATE NEEDS TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
SYSTEMS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS
WHO ARE ELIGIBLE FOR TRANSFER
SUCCESSFULLY MAKE THE
TRANSITIONS AND THERE'S TWO KEY
GROUPS OF STUDENTS I'D LIKE YOU
TO THINK THINK ABOUT THERE.
THERE ARE SOME STUDENTS WHO HAVE
DONE. EVERYTHING REQUIRED TO
TRANSFER BUT NEVER TRANSFER AND
WE DON'T KNOW MUCH ABOUT WHY
THAT IS WE DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH
ABOUT WHO THEY ARE.
THEY MIGHT BE FINANCIAL
CONSIDERATIONS MIGHT BE LACK OF
INFORMATION IT MIGHT BE PROBLEMS
WITH.
IMPACTION AT LOCAL CSU CAMPUSES
THAT THEY MIGHT ATTEND WE DON'T
KNOW AND ONE REASON WE DON'T
KNOW IS BECAUSE WE DON'T AVE A
STATEWIDE. LONGITUDINAL STUDENT
DATA SYSTEM SO I'M LOOKING AT
YOU SENATOR GLAZER.
THAT THE GUYS WHO DOES NOT
ENDORSE BILLS BUT WE'VE ALWAYS
ENDORSED BETTER INFORMATION AND
THAT OUR DATA FOR CALIFORNIA.
WE NEED THAT DATA TO BE ABLE
ANSWER FUNDAMENTAL QUESTIONS
THAT WILL HELP US.
HELP STUDENTS REACH THEIR OWN
EDUCATIONAL GOALS.
I I SECOND. GROUP OF STUDENTS
ARE THOSE WHO ACTUALLY HAVE
APPLIED TO TRANSFER. HAVE NET
TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS.
BUT ARE TURNED AWAY BECAUSE
THERE'S NOT CAPACITY FOR THEM
OUT.
THE CAMPUSES SEE IF YOU TRANSFER
REQUIREMENTS
BUT THEY WERE DENIED ADMISSION
BECAUSE THAT APPLIED TO THAT
CAMPUS THAT WAS IMPACTED AND
COULD NOT ACCOMMODATE. ALL THE
QUALIFIED APPLICANTS RIGHT NOW
FOR ALL MAJORS.
FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS THERE ARE
ONE TWO THREE FOUR FIVE SIX
CAMPUSES THAT ARE FULLY IMPACTED
EVERY SINGLE MAJOR THAT'S FRESNO
FULLERTON LONG BEACH SAN DIEGO
SAN JOSE. AND CAL POLY SAN LUIS
OBISPO THERE ANOTHER FIFTEEN
CAMPUSES THAT ARE IMPACTED FOR
AT LEAST SOME MAJORS. AND THEN
FINALLY THERE ARE ONLY TWO
CAMPUSES DOMINGUEZ HILLS AND CAL
STATE EAST BAY THAT ARE NOT
IMPACTED FOR. ANY TRANSFER OF
DATA ANAHEIM'S THE RELEVANCY OF
THAT IS THAT.
IF THE CAMPUS IS IT IMPACTED
THAT THEN ALLOWS THE CAMPUS TO
DENY THOSE TRANSFERS IS THAT
RIGHT EXACTLY RIGHT THEY DON'T
HAVE THAT IMPACTION DESIGNATION
THEN THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET
INTO THEIR THEIR THEIR A CAMPUS
OF FIRST CHOICE THAT'S EXACTLY
RIGHT. THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
SO OBVIOUSLY FINDING ROOM FOR
THOSE STUDENTS WILL REQUIRE
MORE.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT FOR THE
INSTITUTIONS TO ENROLL THE
STUDENTS BUT BOY TALK ABOUT LOW
HANGING FRUIT STUDENTS HAVE DONE
EVERYTHING RIGHT THEY'VE MADE IT
THROUGH THIS PIPELINE THAT I'VE
SHOWN YOU ALL THE WAY. TO
TRANSFERRING AND ACTUALLY HAVING
DONE WHAT WAS REQUIRED OF THEM
TO TRANSFER. AND THEN. WE THE
STATE AND THIS TO SINCE ARE
SAYING SORRY THERE'S NO ROOM FOR
YOU. AT THEIR COLLEGE OF FIRST
CHOICE AT THE COLLEGE OF FREE
CHOICE AND WE SHOULD BE CLEAR
THAT YOU KNOW IF THEY HAD SO SO
SAY AND I'LL I'LL GIVE. AN
EXAMPLE THAT SUITS MY PURPOSE IN
MY ARGUMENT HERE SAY YOUR FROM
SAN DIEGO. AND YOU APPLIED TO
SAN DIEGO STATE.
AND WERE TURNED AWAY EVEN
THOUGH YOU HAD MET THE CSU
SYSTEM WIDE TRANSFER ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS. IF INSTEAD HOOD
APPLIED TO.
CAL STATE EAST BAY YOU WOULD
HAVE GOTTEN.
BUT.
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN
MOST STUDENTS ARE TRANSFERRING
OR TRANSFERRING TO. UNIVERSITIES
CLOSE TO WHERE THEY WANT TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGE THE VAST
MAJORITY DO SO SO I THINK THAT
YES STATEWIDE THERE MIGHT HAVE
BEEN A SLOT FOR THEM BUT WE HAVE
TO THINK ABOUT HOW REALISTIC
THAT IS FOR STUDENTS EPECIALLY.
IN MANY CASES STUDENTS ARE STILL
LIVING AT HOME TO BE ABLE TO
AFFORD TO GO TO COLLEGE SO. I
IT'S NOT A SIMPLE SAYING WELL
THERE WAS A SLOT SOMEWHERE FOR
YOU IN THE SYSTEM I THINK IT'S
MORE COMPLICATED THAN THAT.
AND THEN.
LARGE PARTY SECOND.
RECOMMENDATION IS THAT WE NEED
TO IMPROVE THE PATHWAY FROM.
AND DEVELOP BETTER ARTICULATION
AGREEMENTS CERTAINLY THE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER IS
A HUGE STEP. AND IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION BUT LET'S BE CLEAR. IT
DOES NOT NECESSARILY.
ALLOW FOR.
EASY TRANSITIONS AND AND ALL
MAJORS AND IN FACT AT SOME AYE
pDEGREE FOR TRANSFER. IT GIVES
YOU A BUMP UP IN YOUR.
THAT CHANCE OF GETTING EMBEDDED
SAN DIEGO STATE FOR EXAMPLE IT
JUST GIVES YOU SOME.
ADDED POINTS IN THEIR SYSTEM TO
DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT YOU GET
AND BECAUSE SAN DIEGO STATE IS
IMPACTED AND ALL MAJORS.
BUT THERE'S ANOTHER ISSUE HERE
AND THAT SHOWN IN THE CHART ON
PAGE FOUR. AND THAT IS THAT
WHILE THERE ARE A GROWING NUMBER
OF ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER
PROGRAMS WHICH IS GOOD NEWS
INDEED. IT'S VERY ON EVEN ACROSS
MAJOR SEARCH HERE I'M SHOWING
YOU OUT OF CALIFORNIA'S ONE
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. HOW MANY OF THEM HAVE
AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER
IN SOME SELECTED MAJORS THAT
I'VE CHOSEN THEIR OVER THIRTY
DIFFERENT MAJORS HAVE ASSOCIATE
DEGREE FOR TRANSFER SANDRA
SHOWING YOU SEVEN IF THE
COMMITTEE IS INTERESTED I COULD
GIVE YOU THE NUMBERS FOR ALL OF
THEM? BUT A HUNDRED ELEVEN OUT
OF THE HUNDRED FOURTEEN HAVE A A
TRANSFER. ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
pTRANSFER. AYE INDECISIVE
MINISTRATION AND I THINK ALMOST
ALL IF NOT ALL THE CS USE.
EXCEPT THOSE TRANSFER.
DEGREES.
IN ENGLISH IT'S VERY HIGH
HISTORY IT'S VERY HIGH WE START
TO DROP DOWN WE LOOK AT BIOLOGY
IT'S ONLY A LITTLE OVER HALF
COMPUTER SCIENCE. THE FIELD IN
WHICH WE FOUGHT HER CONSISTENTLY
FROM EMPLOYERS IF THEY CANNOT
FIND ENOUGH WORKERS.
ONLY THIRTY THREE OUT OF THE
HUNDRED FOURTEEN ACTION MANY
COLLEGES HAVE ASSOCIATE DEGREE
FOR TRANSFERS. AND THEN.
CHEMISTRY YOU'LL SEE IS EVEN
LOWER AND THEN I SO YOU'LL SEE
THIS PATTERN WHICH IS KIND OF A
HARD SCIENCES UP YOUR THESE.
DEGREES THAN THAN SOCIAL
SCIENCES AND THE HUMANITIES AND
THEN FINALLY IN ENGINEERING
ANOTHER VERY. IN HIGH DEMAND AND
AND HIGHLY PAID.
BACHELOR DEGREE NATURE THERE
ARE ZERO. ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR
TRANSFER. I'M SO THAT'S AN ISSUE
AND SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE
WORKED ON. AND THEN FINALLY.
OUR THIRD.
POINT IS THAT THE STATE AND ITS
HIGHER INSTITUTE TO HELP
EDUCATION SOLUTIONS ESPECIALLY
UC AND CSU BUT ALSO ON AND
PARTLY ON ENGAGING. THE PRIVATE
NON PROFITS.
I WILL NEED TO INCREASE CAPACITY
TO ACCOMMODATE THE NUMBER OF
STUDENTS WHO ARE INCREASINGLY
SEEKING TO TRANSFER AND WHO ARE
INCREASINGLY BEING QUALIFIED.
AND ELIGIBLE TO TRANSFER AND IN
FACT THAT THIRTY FIVE PERCENT
INCREASE AS AMBITIOUS AS IT
SOUNDS.
I THINK IT MIGHT BE MODEST IN
LIGHT OF SOME OF THE DRAMATIC
REFORMS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES RIGHT
NOW.
SPECIFICALLY REFORMS AND
REMEDIATION DEVELOPMENTAL
EDUCATION.
AND WE HAVE YOU KNOW SOME
PEOPLE WHO ARE LEADING THAT
CHARGE FROM BEHIND ME HERE FROM
THE FROM THE CAN YOU COLLEGES
AND I CANNOT SAY HOW IMPRESSED I
HAVE DONE. WITH.
THE POTENTIAL SCALE OF THOSE
REFORMS AND THE RESULTS FOR
STUDENTS ALREADY THAT WE'VE SEEN
THAT COLLEGES THAT HAVE
IMPLEMENTED THOSE PERFORMS. IN
TERMS OF ALLOWING STUDENTS TO GO
DIRECTLY INTO COLLEGE LEVEL.
COURSES IN ENGLISH IN MOUTH
RATHER THAN TAKING REMEDIATION
THERE ALSO REFORMS HAVE DONE A
LOT OF WORK IF YOU CAN I SEE
EXAMINING. ACCELERATED PATHWAYS
IN ENGLISH FOR EXAMPLE.
THE STATE STATISTICS PATHWAY IN
AND MATH FOR EXAMPLE THAT HOW
FAR HIGHER.
THROUGHPUT RATES TO COMPLETING
COLLEGE LEVEL MATH STATISTICS
ARE ENGLISH THAN THE TRADITIONAL
DEVELOPMENTAL REMEDIAL EDUCATION
SEQUENCES WE HAD THE PAST SO
THOSE TWO THINGS ASSESSMENT
PLACE FROM A FORM OF AS WELL AS
I'VE WRITTEN THE DELIVERY OF
REMEDIAL EDUCATION. REFORM.
HOW THE PROMISE TO DRAMATICALLY
EXPAND THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS
WHO WILL BE SEEKING TRANSFER?
AND WE WERE AND YOU AS PEOPLE
WHO THINK ABOUT THE STATE'S
FUTURE NEED TO BE PLANNING FOR
THAT AND IF WE DO THAT
SUCCESSFULLY AND IT CAN BE DONE
SUCCESSFULLY AS WE SAW ON THE
CHART SHOW THAT WERE ACTUALLY ON
A GOOD PATH.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A BETTER STATE
WE'RE GONNA HAVE STUDENTS TO
REACH THEIR EDUCATIONAL GOALS
AND THAT MEANS THEY'LL BE BETTER
OFF ECONOMICALLY AS WELL SOME
FACTS I THINK YOU HINDSIGHT I'M.
I'M ENCOURAGED AS YOU ARE ABOUT
THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE. ON
THE DEVELOPMENTAL.
ISSUE AND THE REMEDIATION ISSUE
WE HAD A HEARING ON THAT.
LAST YEAR AND AND.
OF VERY PLEASED WITH THE
PROGRESS THAT'S BEING MADE THERE
AND AND AND THE INNOVATION AND
REFORMS THAT ARE TAKING.
WELL SO LET ME I GO TO WHAT I
THINK MAYBE IS THE ELEPHANT IN
THE ROOM AT BASED ON YOUR
TESTIMONY. DO YOU THINK THAT
CAMPUSES SHOULD GIVE A PRIORITY
TO AT T. OVER FRESHMAN
ENROLLMENT. GIVEN THAT THE
NUMBERS THAT HAVE BEEN DENIED
THEIR TO OUR CAMPUS OF CHOICE.
I THINK WE SHOULD ACCOMMODATE
ALL QUALIFIED STUDENTS INCLUDING
THE FRESHMEN WHO ARE APPLYING AS
WELL AS AS AS EIGHTY STUDENTS. I
GAVE YOU THE NUMBER FOR THE
NUMBER OF QUALIFIED TRANSFER
STUDENTS THAT ARE TURNED AWAY
CSU AND I SAY TURNED AWAY I'M
NOT BLAMING CSU FLORIDA I'M JUST
WHAT YOU SEE AS YOU ARE. ARGUES
THAT THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY
FROM THE STATE TO CONTROL THOSE
STUDENTS. ARE OF COURSE.
THERE'S A DEBATE ABOUT PARADISE
I SUPPOSE.
.
THAT THOSE NUMBERS WERE THIRTY
TWO THOUSAND OVER THE LAST FOUR
YEARS IF I'M REMEMBERING
CORRECTLY THE NUMBERS OF
FRESHMAN APPLICANTS WHO WERE
DENIED EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE
ELIGIBLE. IS ABOUT TWICE THAT.
AND SO WE HAVE A CRISIS I WOULD
CALL IT A CRISIS ON BOTH SIDES
AND IT'S A CRISIS OF CAPACITY
AND THAT CAPACITY CRISIS IS
PARTLY US CAPITAL. AND BEING
ABLE TO HAVE THE BUILDINGS AND
FACILITIES BUT MOSTLY IT'S
OPERATING EXPENSES.
AND SO DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I
IN IN THESE.
HE'S MAJORS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
CHEMISTRY ENGINEERING WHICH
YOU'VE IDENTIFIED AS BEING SO
IMPORTANT.
FOR OUR ECONOMY.
THAT.
THAT THERE'S NOT BEEN THESE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER
COURSES CERTIFIED I HAVE SOME
THEORIES SO TO BE CLEAR HOME AND
JESSE MIGHT HAVE MORE AND MORE
INFORMATION ON THIS THEN THAN I
DO AND AND MAYBE SOME THE OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE PARTNERS.
BUT LET ME GIVE YOU AND EXAMPLE
ENGINEERING TENDS TO BE OF THE
HARDEST MAJOR TO GET INTO AND
MANY CAMPUSES THE GRADE POINT
AVERAGE NOT THRESHOLD EITHER
WHEN YOU'RE APPLYING AS A
FRESHMAN. FROM YOUR HIGH SCHOOL
RECORD OR AS A TRANSFER STUDENT
ARE HIGHER.
THEN THEY ARE.
FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE GOING INTO
OTHER MAJORS AND IS BECAUSE THE
DEMAND TO GO INTO THOSE MAJOR SO
SO HIGH AND THEY CAN'T
ACCOMMODATE ALL THE STUDENTS SO
WHAT DO YOU DO WILL YOU SELECT
FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE. MOST
HIGHLY QUALIFIED THAT'S THAT'S
FAIR AT SOME LEVEL. BUT IT MEANS
THEN THAT YOU KNOW IF HOW CAN
YOU OFFER A PROMISE.
TO A STUDENT WHEN YOU HAVE NO
SPACE.
AND I THINK THAT THAT'S PART OF
WHAT'S WHAT'S GOING ON THERE BUT
THE OTHER PART OF IT CERTAINLY
IS THAT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
COURSE REQUIREMENTS AND LOWER
DIVISION IN SOME OF THESE.
.
HARD SCIENCE FIELDS AND
ENGINEERING. OF THOSE COURSES
AREN'T.
OFFERED AT HOME MANY COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND SO IN FACT I. GOT A
LOOK AT THAT ASSIST WHICH I
THINK YOU KNOW IS THE KIND OF
ARTICULATION. WEBSITE WHERE YOU
CAN GO AND SAY OKAY I WANT TO
MAJOR IN IN THIS CASE I DID
ENGINEERING AND I WANT TO MAJOR
IN ENGINEERING AT BERKELEY MUCH
OF ITS COURSE THOUGHT WHEN YOU
KNOW SOMEONE THAT'S. GOING TO BE
HARD TO GET INTO. I LOOKED AT MY
CALL WHERE I WALK Y. GREW UP IN
THE FAR NORTHERN PART THE STATE
I LOOKED AT SHASTA COLLEGE. AND
AND THEY TELL YOU FROM THAT
ASSIST WEBSITE IS NOT TOTALLY
EASY BUT YOU COULD FIGURE OUT
WHAT COURSES I I NEED TO TAKE.
AND WHAT COURSES ARE STRONGLY
RECOMMENDED AND MANY OF THE
STRONGLY RECOMMENDED COURSES ARE
NOT EVEN AVAILABLE AT THAT
SHASTA BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S
PART OF A PROBLEM THAT'S GOING
ON HERE. I'D AND THAT DOES MEAN
YOU KNOW IF WE'RE GOING TO BE A
STATE THAT REALLY FOCUSES ON
THIS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
TRANSITION ROLL. THEN WE NEED TO
BE SERIOUS ABOUT MAKING SURE
THAT STUDENTS WHO ATTEND
COMMITTEE COFFERS WHICH ARE MUCH
MORE LIKELY TO BE LOW INCOME AND
FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS.
HAVE ACCESS TO THE SAME SET OF
MAJORS THAT STUDENTS THAT ENTER
THE UNIVERSITY DIRECTLY AS
FRESHMEN HOUSE RIGHT NOW LET'S
THAT'S AT LEAST WITH ADT
PROGRAM.
ARE AS GREAT AS THAT PROGRAM IS
BUT THAT'S THAT'S A FILM.
AND SO FRM A PUBLIC POLICY
POINT IF YOU GIVEN THE.
THE EASY AT A TIME IN THIS
NATURE OF OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES
AND THEIR THEIR SYSTEMS FOR
WHAT.
WHAT THAT GUIDANCE WOULD YOU
GIVE US?
TWELVE DEALING WITH THAT
PROBLEM.
MORE RESEARCH IS NEEDED PERHAPS
IF IT BESIDES OUT WHICH IS YOU
KNOW PKC THINNESS.
STILL LINE I THINK.
ONE OTHER ISSUE THAT WE'VE
HEARD A IS THAT THOSE LAB
COURSES ARE MORE EXPENSIVE.
SO THAT IF THIS TAPE AND THE
STATE HAS DONE THIS WITH NURSING
PROGRAMS IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WHERE THE STATE IS
ACTUALLY PROVIDED ADDITIONAL
FUNDING PER FTE IN NURSING
PROGRAMS AND AND OTHER PROGRAMS.
AND SO. PART OF THE SOLUTION
MIGHT BE OUT AGAIN THIS ISN'T
SOMETHING WE STUDY FORMALLY BUT
PART OF THE SOLUTION MIGHT BE.
TO PROVIDE ADDITIONAL FUNDING
FOR COURSES THAT REQUIRE
EXPENSIVE LABS NAM AND FOR AND
PERHAPS.
REQUIRE FACULTY THAT HAVE.
REALLY STRONG LABOR MARKETS
OUTSIDE OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
AND THEREFORE YOU NEED TO PAY
THEM MORE TO GET THEM TO TEACH
COMPUTER SCIENCE BEING OF
COURSE.
THE PERFECT EXAMPLE MY
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT HIGH
SCHOOLS HAVE A VERY HARD TIME
TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE FROM
SOMEONE WHO'S QUALIFIED BECAUSE.
WHY WOULD YOU TEACH
COMPUTER SCIENCE IN HIGH SCHOOL
WHEN YOU COULD GO WORK IN THE
TECH AREA AND WE'LL MAKE TWICE
OR? AS MUCH MONEY
OKAY I WANTED THAT INVITE JESSE.
RYAN THE TWO OF PROVIDE HER
TESTIMONY JESSE WELCOME HERE THE
VICE PRESIDENT OF THE CAMPAIGN
FOR COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY INTO.
AND A GREAT ADVOCATE ON BREAKING
DOWN BARRIERS AND HIGHER
EDUCATION AND YOU HAVE YOUR OWN.
BARRIERS THAT YOU BROKEN DOWN
YET.
AND YOUR OWN PATH THAT AS YOU
SAY YOUR PATH WAY OUT OF POVERTY
YOU EARNED YOUR AAA FROM
SACRAMENTO CITY COLLEGE.
AND YOUR YOUR.
BA FROM SAN FRANCISCO STATE AND
A MASTER'S FROM SAINT MARY'S.
YOU'VE HAD YOUR OWN INTERESTING
PATHWAY OF THE FORTY. HE SHARING
EURONEXT EXPERTISE AND KNOWLEDGE
WITH US THIS MORNING SECULAR
BANNER MAJOR I AM OFTEN VERY
PROUD TO SAY THAT I AM A PRODUCT
OF CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
AND CSU BUT MY JOURNEY WAS NOT
AN EASY ONE SO THAT'S PARTIALLY
WELL SHARE TODAY. THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR INVITING ME TO BE A
PART OF SAY SUPPORT A
CONVERSATION. YOU KNOW WHAT WE
ARE SO APPRECIATIVE OF YOUR
LEADERSHIP FOR TAKING ON THIS
VERY CRITICAL ISSUE AND ONE THAT
AS COMPLEX AS THE HAN SISTERS
SHARED. THE CAMPAIGN FOR COLLEGE
OPPORTUNITY HAS LANDED ON
TRANSFER REFORM EFFORTS FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE ON A WHERE
WE'RE A NONPROFIT COALITION OF
EDUCATION CIVIL RIGHTS AND
BUSINESS LEADERS. SEEKING TO
EXPAND COLLEGE ACCESS AND
STUDENT SUCCESS IN CALIFORNIA
PRIMARILY THROUGH RESEARCH
COALITION BUILDING AND POLICY
ADVOCACY. WE WERE FOUNDED IN TWO
THOUSAND AND FOUR BY TWO
VISIONARY BABY BOOMERS AND
LIFELONG EDUCATION CHAMPIONS
CONCERNED THAT THE PUBLIC
UNIVERSITIES THAT SERVE THEIR
GENERATION SO EFFECTIVELY. NO
LONGER HAD THE SUFFICIENT
CAPACITY TO ENROLL EVERY
ELIGIBLE CALIFORNIAN AS PROMISED
BY THE MASTER PLAN.
IT WAS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR THAT WE
NEEDED MORE COLLEGE GRADUATES AT
THE SAME TIME THAT OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES WOULD
BE FORCED TO TURN AWAY THOUSANDS
OF ELIGIBLE STUDENTS BECAUSE OF
INADEQUATE STATE FUNDING. WITCH
HUNTS HAS SPOKEN TO AN
INSUFFICIENT ATTENTION BY OUR
COLLEGE LEADERS TO AGGRESSIVELY
IMPROVE TRANSFER TIME TO DEGREE
AND STUDENT SUCCESS.
WELL MUCH HAS CHANGED SINCE TWO
THOUSAND AND FOUR AND WE HAVE
MADE GREAT PROGRESS ND
STRENGTHENING THE TRANSFER
PIPELINE. WE DO KNOW THAT IT
REMAINS WOEFULLY COMPLEX IT HAS
NOT BEEN ENOUGH DESPITE OUR BEST
EFFORTS TO REALLY CLOSE THE GAP
BY THE PROJECTED SHORTFALL OF
ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION COLLEGE
GRADUATES NEEDED TO MEET
WORKFORCE DEMAND. NOR TO FIX THE
COMPLEX AND COSTLY MAYES THAT IS
THE TRANSFER MAYES WHICH WE HAVE
WRITTEN ABOUT IT THE CAMPAIGN
FOR COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY. WE KNOW
THAT THAT TRANSFER MAYES FORCES
STUDENTS WHO SUCCESSFULLY
NAVIGATE THE MAZE TO SPEND TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS MORE TO
EARN THEIR BACHELOR'S DEGREE.
THEN STUDENTS TO BEGIN THEIR
JOURNEY AT ONE OF THE STATE'S
COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES ALL
SPEAK MORE TO THAT MOMENT.
AS CHAIRMAN GLAZER SHARED I
UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGES FACED
BY COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
SEEKING TO TRANSFER FIRST HAND.
AS WE SHARED I GREW UP IN
POVERTY IS THE DAUGHTER OF A
STRUGGLING SINGLE MOTHER I
LEARNED AT A VERY EARLY AGE THAT
A COLLEGE EDUCATION WAS MY
GATEWAY TO OPPORTUNITY. AND LIKE
THE VAST MAJORITY OF
CALIFORNIANS I BEGAN MY COLLEGE
JOURNEY AT A CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND ATTENDED
THREE CAMPUSES SIMULTANEOUSLY
RIGHT HERE IN SACRAMENTO
SACRAMENTO CITY COLLEGE.
AMERICAN RIVER AND CONSUMED AS
TO GET THE CLASSES THAT I NEEDED
TO TRANSFER WITHIN TWO YEARS. I
WAS VERY FORTUNATE I HAD A
COUNSELOR LUPE GOMEZ WHO TOOK ME
UNDER HER WING AND SHOWED ME HOW
TO NAVIGATE. A VERY CONFUSING
SYSTEM SHE HELPED ME AND ROLE IN
A STUDENT SUCCESS CLASS DECIDE
FOR TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS THAT
VARY FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS AND
SHE ALSO HELPED ME SECURE
FINANCIAL AID. I WAS LUCKY
ENOUGH TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO
TRANSFER WITH IN TWO YEARS.
BUT I WAS REALLY ONE OF ABOUT
FOUR PERCENT OF STUDENTS WHO
WOULD REACH THAT TRANSFER
DESTINATION WITHIN TWO YEARS.
OTHERS WERE LESS FORTUNATE AND I
FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT EACH STUDENT
SHOULD HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY. TO
REACH THEIR COLLEGE GOALS AND
THAT TRANSFER SHOULD BE CLEAR
AND SHOULD HAPPEN WITHIN A
REASONABLE TIMEFRAME.
THE REALITY IS THAT MOST
STUDENTS WHO ATTEND COMMUNIY
COLLEGES BEGAN WITH THE BELIEF
THAT THEY WILL SEAMLESSLY
TRANSFER WITHIN TWO YEARS AND GO
ON TO COMPLETE A BACHELOR'S
DEGREE. UNFORTUNATELY THE ROUTE
FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO FOUR
YEAR UNIVERSITIES IS MUCH MORE A
MAYES THAN A STRAIGHTFORWARD
PATH.
ALTHOUGH NATIONAL SURVEYS
DEMONSTRATE THAT A MAJORITY OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS AND
ROLL WITH THE GOAL OF
TRANSFERRING. ONLY AN
ASTONISHING FOUR PERCENT
DO SO WITHIN TWO YEARS AND AS I
SAID I'M ONE OF THAT FOUR
PERCENT.
AND THIRTY EIGHT PERCENT WILL
ACTUALLY SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFER.
TO A FOUR YEAR INSTITUTION AFTER
SIX YEARS WHICH I STILL FOR ME
COMPLETELY A BIT SMALL. OUR ODDS
OF SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFERRING OR
EVEN WORSE IF YOU'RE AFRICAN
AMERICAN OR LATINO AXE WITH
UNDER THREE AND TEN STUDENTS
REACHING THEIR TRANSFER
DESTINATION WITHIN SIX YEARS OF
ENROLLMENT WHICH IS
UNCONSCIONABLE IN MY OPINION.
GIVEN THAT THE TEANECK STUDENTS
COMPOSE NEARLY HALF OF THE FIRST
TIME FRESHMEN AND ROLLED AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN TWENTY
SIXTEEN. THE CAMPAIGN FOR
COLLEGE OPPORTUNITY BELIEVES
THAT THIS IS AN EQUITY
IMPERATIVE TO EXPLORE THE ROOT
CAUSES FOR THE DELAYS AND THE
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH TRANSFER.
THE UNEVEN DISTRIBUTION OF
INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
ACROSS OUR STATE ALSO MAKES
STUDENTS IN SOME COMMUNITIES
MORE RELIANT UPON BEGINNING AT A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE. YOU HEARD
HANS TALK ABOUT SHASTA AND HOW
FEW OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN
THAT AREA AT THE STATE.
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF
STUDENTS TRANSFERRING ANNUALLY
TO THE UC YEAR CSU BY THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT IS ITSELF ONE OF
THE GOALS THAT YOU'VE HEARD
ABOUT BY COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CHANCELLOR EASILY OAKLEY IN THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS. SET FORTH
THROUGH THE VISION FOR SUCCESS
AND IT'S FOUNDATIONAL TO
FULFILLING OUR COMMITMENT OF THE
MASTER PLAN AND ACHIEVING THIS
WILL ALSO HELP REALIZE TO OTHER
CRITICAL GOALS IN CLOSING
RACIAL.
AND REGIONAL EQUITY GAPS FACED
BY STUDENTS AND COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. FURTHERMORE A
STUDENT'S ABILITY TO
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE TRANSFER
REQUIREMENTS AND EVENTUALLY
EARNED A BACHELOR'S DEGREE.
COMES AT A COST.
IN THE TRANSFER MAYES WE FOUND
THAT TRANSFER STUDENTS WILL TAKE
SIX POINT FOUR YEARS TO SECURE A
BACHELOR DEGREE AT THE UC. AND
SEVEN YEARS AT THE CSU WHICH
RESULTS IN AN ADDITIONAL THIRTY
SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THIRTY
EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
EXPENSES FOR THOSE STUDENTS
COMPARED TO FRESHMEN ADMITS.
VERY FEW COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS KNOW THAT UPON ENTRY
INTO THE SYSTEM.
WELL STUDENTS ARE STILL AND
ROLLED THE TRANSFER PROCESS CAN
ALSO COMPLICATE THEIR ABILITY TO
ACCESS FINANCIAL AID. COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS FACE
SIGNIFICANT UNMET FINANCIAL NEED
FOR INTEL AND RECEIVE THE
PROMISE GRANT FORMERLY THE BUG
FEE WAIVER. WHICH HELPS COVER
TUITION BUT ONLY OUR PERCENT OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
RECEIVE A CAL GRANT OR ANY HELP
WITH NON TUITION COSTS.
THE CAP ON THE NUMBER OF
SEMESTERS IN WHICH A STUDENT IS
ELIGIBLE FOR CAL GRANT FURTHER
COMPLICATES FINANCIAL AID
DECISIONS FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS WHO ARE OFTEN COUNSELED
AGAINST TAKING AWARDS AT
COMMUNITY COLLEGE. TO PRESERVE
THEIR ELIGIBILITY FOR CAL GRANT
WHEN THEY TRANSFER. WHEN PRESSED
TO DEFERRED THEIR FINANCIAL AID
THE STUDENTS MAY TAKE PART TIME
JOBS WORK MULTIPLE JOBS OR NOT
COVER THE COSTS OF ALL OF THEIR
BASIC NEEDS.
MEANWHILE UNDERMINING THEIR
ACADEMIC SUCCESS
THE ADDITIONAL TIME SPENT BY
STUDENTS AND THE ACCESS OFTEN
UNNECESSARY UNITS BUT THEY
ACCUMULATE ALONG THE WAY COME AT
A HIGH PRICE TO STUDENTS AND THE
STATE. A REPORT FOUND THAT IF WE
WERE TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN A ONE
PERCENT REDUCTION AND THE
UNNECESSARY UNITS ACCUMULATED BY
STUDENTS AT COLLEGES. AT THE AT
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND CSU
CALIFORNIA WOULD SAY FORTY ONE
MILLION DOLLARS FORTY ONE
MILLION DOLLARS IF WE WERE MORE
EFFICIENT IN CREATING A SEAMLESS
PATH TO TRANSFER WITH REDUCTION
OF UNITS.
THERE ARE REAL COSTS BOTH
PERSONAL AND FINANCIAL TO
STUDENTS IN THE STATE'S WHEN WE
FAIL TO MEET THAT OBJECTIVE.
MOREOVER PATHWAYS THAT ARE
BUREAUCRATIC INCONSISTENT AND
CONFUSING.
ARE REALLY REQUIRING STUDENTS TO
PIECE TOGETHER AN EDUCATION PLAN
WITH INCONSISTENT REQUIREMENTS
DEMANDED BY DIFFERENT SYSTEMS
SCHOOLS AND DEPARTMENTS TO STUDY
WITH THE CS YOU WHEN YOU SEE.
OFFERING THEIR OWN VERSIONS OF
ADMISSION GUARANTEES AND TWO
DIFFERENT THAT OF LOWER DIVISION
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS.
AND TWENTY TEN SEEKING TO
IMPROVE THE TRANSFER PATHWAY FOR
STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE THE
CAMPAIGN SPONSORED HISTORIC
TRANSFER REFORM LEGISLATION TO
ESTABLISH THE ASSOCIATE DEGREES
FOR TRANSFER AND I KNOW YOU'VE
HEARD MUCH ABOUT THE EIGHTY
TEETH THIS MORNING. WE KNEW THAT
THIS COULD PROVIDE A SEAMLESS
PATHWAY SIXTY UNITS OF THE LOWER
DIVISION SIXTY UNITS AT THE
UPPER DIVISION TO OFFER A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY UNIT PATH. TO
THE BACHELOR'S DEGREE AT
STUDENTS EARNING AN EIGHTY T.
WOULD BE GUARANTEED ADMISSION TO
THE CSU WITH JUNIOR STANDING.
AND WE KNEW REDUCING THE NUMBER
OF ACCESS UNITS AND TIME TO
DEGREE.
TODAY WE ARE PROUD TO SAY THAT
THERE EIGHTY TEASE AND THIRTY
TWO HIGH DEMAND MAJORS WITH
COLLEGE IS STILL DEVELOPING
MORE.
AND WE KNOW THAT THEY HAVE
IMPACT
DATA SHOWS THAT STUDENTS WOULD
EIGHTY TEES OBTAIN BACHELOR'S
DEGREES WITHIN TWO YEARS AT THE
CSU AT A MUCH HIGHER RATE THAN
TRADITIONAL TRANSFER STUDENTS
FORTY EIGHT PERCENT. COMPARED TO
TWENTY SEVEN PERCENT OF
TRADITIONAL TRANSFER STUDENTS
AND WE HAVE BRIGHT SPOTS RIGHT
HERE IN SACRAMENTO WHERE IT CSU
SACRAMENTO SACRAMENTO STATE
WE'RE SEEN THAT ADT TRANSFER
STUDENTS ARE COMPLETING WITHIN
TWO YEARS AT A RATE OF NEARLY
EIGHTY PERCENT.
AT STUDENTS MOVE THROUGH MORE
QUICKLY THEY OPEN SEATS AND
IMPACTED COURSES AND FUNDING TO
SERVE THE NEXT COHORT OF
STUDENTS.
PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS ARE ALSO
VOLUNTARILY SEEKING TO ADMIT AB
T. STUDENTS THEY REALIZE THAT
THEY ARE SOME OF OUR BEST AND
BRIGHTEST. AND WE'VE SEEN
AGREEMENTS WITH THE WESTERN
GOVERNORS ASSOCIATION OF
UNIVERSITIES AND OVER TWENTY
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES. WE BELIEVE THAT IF
WE EVER FULLY REALIZE THE VISION
FOR THE EIGHTY T. AT THE
PREFERRED TRANSFER PATHWAY WE
CAN HELP POSITION STUDENTS TO
MEET THEIR COLLEGE GOALS.
AT TOM'S ALSO SPOKE TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF GUIDED
PATHWAYS OFFERS AN IMPORTANT
MEANS TO SHAPE COLLEGE PRACTICES
TO FOSTER MORE EQUITABLE AND
SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER OUT COMES.
AS MENTIONED THE SHEER NUMBER OF
TRANSFER PATHWAYS CAN BE
CONFUSING TO STUDENTS
PARTICULARLY THE FOUR IN TEN
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS THAT
ARE THE FIRST AND THEIR FAMILIES
TO ATTEND COLLEGE.
WHEN YOU CONSIDER THE DID THE
NUMBER OF OPTIONS AVAILABLE IN
MOST COLLEGE COURSE CATALOGS AND
WHEN SO MANY STUDENTS ARE
DETERMINING THEIR PATHWAY BASED
UPON THIS COURSE CATALOGS. IT
BECOMES EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY
SO FEW STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO
SECURE IF YOUR CREDENTIAL OR
TRANSFER WITHIN SIX YEARS.
UNDER GUIDED PATHWAYS EACH
ELEMENT OF THE STUDENTS COLLEGE
EXPERIENCES ORIENTED BETTER
TOWARDS MAKING SURE THAT THEY
HAVE VERY CLEAR PATHS DEGREE. A
FEW EXAMPLES OF THOSE PRACTICES
INCLUDE PRESENTING STUDENTS WITH
MORE STRUCTURED ROAD MAPS ROAD
MAPS ARE CRITICAL AS WE'VE SEEN
ON THE TRANSFER PATHWAYS.
ORIENTING THEM EARLYABOUT THEIR
OPTIONS I'VE HEARD FROM SO MANY
STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE WHO
TELL ME THAT THEY FIRST HEARD
ABOUT THE ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER. TWO SEMESTERS IN TO
BEING AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SO THEY'D ALREADY LOST TIME AND
POTENTIALLY TAKEN UNNECESSARY
COURSEWORK. AND GUIDED PATHWAYS
WILL ALSO MONITOR OF STUDENTS
FALL BEHIND IN ORDER TO
COORDINATE BETTER ACADEMIC
INTERVENTIONS AND STUDENT
SUPPORTS.
IMPLEMENTING GUIDED PATHWAYS IN
CLOSING RACIAL EQUITY GAP SHOULD
BE TOP PRIORITIES OF THIS
COMMITTEE AND THE LEGISLATUREWE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
RESOURCES TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO THAT AND.
STUDENTS SHOULD ARRIVE IN
COLLEGE AND HAVE NO QUESTION
THAT THEY CAN SEX SUCCESSFULLY
TRANSFER WITH THE ROADMAP TO DO
THAT WITHIN TWO YEARS.
FINALLY THE BROKEN TRANSFER
PROCESS IN CALIFORNIA EXEC IS
EXASPERATED BY THE LACK OF
COORDINATION BETWEEN OUR
SEGMENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
AND THE ARRAY OF PROGRAM AND
TRANSFER OPTIONS AT COLLEGES.
CALIFORNIA AS YOU KNOW IS UNIQUE
IN ITS LACK OF A STATEWIDE
COORDINATING ENTITY WE NEED THAT
ENTITY TO ENSURE SEAMLESS
ALIGNMENT.
IF WE MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN AN
ENTITY TO ADVANCE ALIGNMENT AND
PUT TRANSFER AT THE CENTER OF
ALL WE DO. WE KNOW THAT WE COULD
LIFT UP THE ASSOCIATE DEGREE
TRANSFER FOR TRANSFER IS THE
CLEAREST ROADMAP TO STUDENT
SUCCESS.
TOGETHER WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO RECOMMIT SUPPORTING A STUDENT
CENTERED TRANSFER PATHWAY ONE
THAT MEETS THE FUTURE WORKFORCE
NEEDS OF OUR STATE WILL OFFERING
UNCLEAR AFFORDABLE PATH. FOR
STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY WORKING
SO HARD IN HOPES OF ACHIEVING
THEIR COLLEGE DREAMS.
THANK YOU JESSE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY AND
THANK YOU FOR THE LEADERSHIP OF
THE CAMPAIGN. OVER MANY YEARS TO
ADVANCE OUR PROGRESS IN THIS
AREA SO LET ME ASK A PROVOCATIVE
QUESTION. I THOUGHT THAT. YOU
MIGHT EXPECT NOTHING TO GET
MYSELF IN TROUBLE SOME.
BUT.
ARE ARE WE GIVING STUDENTS TOO
MANY CHOICES THAT OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WE KNOW WE LOVE THAT
ARRAY LOT THE EXPLORATION.
BUT WE ALSO THINK SEE WHERE AND
YOU YOU YOU PREVENTION THIS IN
YOUR TESTIMONY WHERE.
THAT THAT THAT DIZZYING ARRAY
OF CHOICES MAY MEAN THAT THEY'RE
NOT PICKING THE PATHWAY THAT
KEEPS THEM GOING RIGHT.
ABSOLUTELY DOUBLE GIVEN TOO MANY
CHOICES THERE THAT'S AN
OUTSTANDING QUESTION SO YOU KNOW
WE WORK WITH STUDENTS ACROSS THE
STATE AND I HAVE TALKED TO
COUNTLESS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS OVER THE YEARS. THAT
SAY NOT THAT THEY WANT MORE
CHOICES THEY WANT A CLEAR PATH
TO A DEGREE AND A JOB RIGHT. AND
I THINK THAT THERE IS PLENTY OF
ROOM FOR EXPLORATION IN GENERAL
EDUCATION PATHWAYS THERE ARE
GOOD I'M OPTIONS WITH IN EACH OF
THE CORE REQUISITE REQUIREMENTS.
I THINK TO THE EXTENT THAT WE
CAN STREAMLINE OUR PATHS TO DO
AGREED THAT MEANS OUR MAJOR
OFFERINGS IT'S HELPFUL TO
STUDENTS AND WHEN YOU ASK ARE WE
GIVING TOO MANY CHOICES I
WOULD-ARGUE THAT HAVING TWO
SEPARATE
GENERAL EDUCATION PATHWAYS. ONE
FOR THE CSU AND ONE THAT'S
AVAILABLE I GET SEE FOR YOU SEE
OR CSU GENERAL EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS IS TOO MUCH I HEAR
FROM SO MANY STUDENTS WHO'D
STARTED BY TAKING THE CSU
BREADTH AND DIDN'T RECOGNIZE
THAT SOME OF THAT GENERAL
EDUCATION. WOULD NOT OPEN
OPTIONS TO ATTEND THE UC SO TO
THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN LOOK AT
HOW DID THOSE GENERAL EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS ALREADY ALIGNED
BECAUSE THEY ARE SO CLOSE. AND
COULD WE HAVE A SINGLE GENERAL
EDUCATION PATH THAT PROVIDES A
CLEAR PATH. TO TRANSFER I THINK
THAT STUDENTS WOULD BE VERY
GRATEFUL FOR THAT.
INTERESTING HANS DO YOU HAVE
ANY THOUGHTS ABOUT THAT NO I I
WOULD JUST ADD THAT YOU HEARD
FROM THE CHANCE FOR THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES THEIR EFFORTS
TO DEVELOP COMMON COURSE
NUMBERING ACROSS THEIR SYSTEM.
AND I WOULD ADD TO THAT.
CONCOURSE NUMBERING IN LOWER
DIVISION INTO.
FOR YOU SEE CSU. WHAT HE'S
STUDENTS ABILITY TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S REQUIRED AND MAKE THAT
TRANSITION?
AND I ASSUME THAT.
DIGEST YOU YOU WOULD LIKE THE
IDEA OF SOME CONSISTENT CODING.
AND. IN TERMS OF TRYING TO BE AS
CLEAR AS WE CAN TO STUDENTS
ABOUT YES WHERE THERE PATHWAYS
EXIST IF THEY WANT THEM I WOULD
ARGUE THAT THAT SHOULD HAPPEN TO
DECADE AGO. YEAH.
AND DID DID YOU SEE ANYTHING
FROM OUR OUR PLACE A PUBLIC
POLICY POINT OF VIEW THAT WE
SHOULD ENGAGE IN THAT ISSUE MORE
DIRECTLY IS ALL ABOUT BUDGET.
SO BUT JUST PROVIDE THE
RESOURCES TO THE SYSTEMS TO DO
THIS SO PARTIALLY IT'S RESOURCES
IT'S ALSO LEADERSHIP AND REALLY
A DESIRE WITH IN A TIMELY
FASHION TO SEE THAT VISION INTO
FRUITION. I THINK THERE'S BEEN
GREAT EFFORTS BY THE FACULTY
OVER THE YEARS TO MOVE IN THAT
DIRECTION BUT THERE HAVE BEEN.
.
THE BUMPS ALONG THE WAY AND I
THINK THAT YOU'RE REALLY AS PART
OF THE GUIDED PATHWAYS WORK AN
EXPECTATION THAT WE WILL MOVE TO
THAT COURSE IDENTIFICATION
SYSTEM AND DO SO WITHIN THE NEXT
TWO YEARS. SHOULD BE SET FOR.
PARTICULARLY JUST ABOUT I THINK
ONE OF THE REMARKABLE RESULTS
FROM THE ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER WAS THAT FACULTY FROM
CSU STARTED TALKING TO PROPERLY
FROM THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE A LOT OF
MONEY SOME MAYBE BUT NOT A LOT.
BUT THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE WHAT
HAVE LED TO THIS TREMENDOUS
PROGRAM.
AND.
IT WAS JUST TALKING AND FIGURING
NOT TRUST DOCUMENT BICU
NEGOTIATING AT LARRY HOURS WHERE
EVER COMMONALITIES AND THEY'RE.
THEY'RE WORKING RIGHT SO IT IT'S
IT'S IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE OTHER
STATES HAVE DONE MORE THAN WE
HAVE. BUT I I DO WANNA RECOGNIZE
HE HAD THE FACULTY LEADERSHIP AT
THE CSU AND IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE AND EMBRACING THE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER WE
EASILY COULD HAVE THOUSANDS OF
THE ASSOCIATE DEGREES ACROSS THE
STATE. AND THEY CAME TOGETHER
AND SAID IF WE WANT THIS TO
TRULY BEA CLEAR PATH WE NEED TO
DEVELOP TRANSFER MODEL
CURRICULUM AND THAT REQUIRES
THESE CONVERSATIONS AND
ALIGNMENT IN A WAY THAT WE NEVER
HAD SEEN BEFORE.
IT IT'S IT'S IT SURPRISES ME S.
CENTER OUT ON A FEW WANT TO
WEIGH IN ON THIS BUT THE. YOU
KNOW IT WILL. WE KNOW THAT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES PROVIDES A
MUCH OF WAR LOWER COST.
I PATH RIGHT TERMS EFFICIENCY IN
THE STATE TO GET ME THAT FOR
YOUR DEGREE. AND YET.
WE'RE GETTING A LOT OF KIDS IN.
AND AND YET WE THERE'S A NEW
ROAD BLOCK RIGHT IN THE FOR
YEARS AND.
IT SEEMS LIKE I KNOW WHERE I'VE
SENATOR PORTANTINO IS STEPPED
AWAY FOR ANOTHER.
ENGAGEMENT BUT IT SEEMS LIKE ON
THE BUDGETARY SIDE IT'S IT'S THE
IT'S THE.
IT'S THE PLACE WHERE IF I I
GUESS THEY COULD AGAIN THE
ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM FOR GONNA
EIGHT GROW ENROLLMENT AND HINES
YOU IN YOUR TESTIMONY YOU
POINTED OUT THAT. WERE YOU SEE
AND A GROWING ROLE MEANT THERE
THEY GOT BACK ON YOUR TARGETS
RIGHT.
AND SO WE'RE GOING TO GROW AND I
BOTH SYSTEMS OF* FOR ONE
PERCENT INCREASE IN THEIR
ENROLLMENT AT IT FOR THE NEXT
BUDGET YEAR.
DO YOU THINK THAT WE SHOULD BE
DESIGNATING THAT IS THAT THAT
THAT GROWTH IS FOR MUCH
TRANSFERS.
PURELY TRANSFERS BECAUSE WE SEE
THEY HAVE A MUCH GREATER CHANCE
OF GETTING THROUGH QUICKER.
UPDATED IT PASSES ALL THE
EFFICIENCY TESTS.
JARS OF USING OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES TRANSFERRING AND THEN
GETTING THROUGH IN FOUR YEARS
THAT I MEAN. IT SEEMS LIKE
THERE'S AN ARGUMENT FOR THAT
THAT WE SHOULD.
WE SHOULD TARGET THAT WITH ANY
ENROLLMENT GROWTH YOU HAVE THE
OBSERVATION SENATOR ALLEN YOU
HAVE AN OBSERVATION ABOUT THAT.
I THINK WE WOULD ARGUE THAT WE
NEED TO BOTH BE INVESTING AND
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF FIRST
TIME FRESHMEN ADMITS AS WERE
ALSO INVESTING. IN BEING ABLE TO
MEET THE CAPACITY OF THE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER
STUDENTS.
UNFORTUNATELY IF IN FACT THE
EIGHTIES HE WORKS AS THE
PREFERRED MODEL ACROSS THE STATE
AT SCALE. WE ARE GOING TO FIND
OURSELVES WITH ADDITIONAL
CAPACITY CONSTRAINT AND
ADMITTING ALL OF THE STUDENTS
AND SO WE WANT THIS PROGRAM TO
BE SUCCESSFUL WE WANT STUDENTS
TO TRANSFER IN A MORE TIMELY
EFFICIENT MANNER. BUT IN DOING
SO WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE TO
MAKE ADDITIONAL INVESTMENTS THE
CAPACITY.
AND FRANKLY WITH WITH HNS
ASSESSED A MONNING ABOUT YOU
KNOW PROJECTED WORKFORCE NEED WE
CANNOT BE LOOKING AT ONE OR THE
OTHER IT'S A COMBINATION OF
BOTH.
YOU AGREE.
OKAY WILL GET ANY ANY FURTHER
QUESTIONS FROM MY MY PANELISTS
APPEAR.
IF NOT TO WANT TO THANK YOU
BOTH FOR COMING REALLY AT
PROVOCATIVE TESTIMONY.
UNDERSCORES THE. FACT THAT. SOME
OF THIS IS THE IN OUR CONTROL
HERE IN THE LEGISLATURE SOME OF
ITS IN THE CONTROL OF OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEADERSHIP. AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL.
SOME HAVE TO FIND THAT RIGHT.
CHOICE BECAUSE THERE IS A
FINITE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES.
AND IS AS MUCH AS YOU ALL OF
TALKED ABOUT INCREASING FRESHMAN
ENROLLMENT YOU'VE ALSO CLEARLY
IDENTIFIED HOW WE'RE FALLING
DOWN IN TERMS OF THIS TRANSFER
ISSUE.
AND.
AND YET. THERE IS NECESSARILY A
MONEY TREE IN THE BACKYARD.
FOLSOM MORE DOLLARS DOWN FROM
BUT I THINK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
ALL YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THIS
ISSUE.
THANK YOU GENERALLY DON'T USE
WHILE.
OKAY.
ALRIGHT SO I I OUR NEXT GROUP OF
A PANEL NUMBER THREE IS A TALK
ABOUT OUR COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS
BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS.
I WANNA. UP ALISON NOW.
NGUYEN AND JIM BISHOP FONTS
TO.
TO I JOIN US HERE AT THE AT THE
FRONT.
THAT IT A CAL STATE
LONG BEACH IS THAT RIGHT AND YOU
SPECIALIZED IN HISTORY SOCIOLOGY
AND?
PHILOSOPHY OF SPORTS AND
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY YES I DO AND.
YOU CURRENTLY OUR THE.
ASSOCIATE DEAN OF ACADEMIC
PROGRAMS IN THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE IS THAT RIGHT MAY ALSO
SERVE ON THE CHANCELLOR IS
GENERAL EDUCATION ADVISORY
COMMITTEE. AND HE WORKED ON THIS
ISSUE OF US ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE
YOUR EXPERTISE AND INSIGHT YES
THANK YOU.
UGH MORNING SURE GLAZER IN
MEMBERS.
AS A DOCTOR.
MISTER GLAZER HAS JUST.
EXPLAINED I DO WORK AT THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE FOR THE CSU.
ALSO MOVED TWO THIRDS OF MY
ACADEMIC WORK IS.
BASED IN THE CALIFORNIA MASTER
PLAN I HAVE A MASTER'S DEGREE
FROM CAL STATE LONG BEACH IN MY
PHD IS FROM UC BERKELEY.
I WILL ECHO SOME OF WHAT HAS
BEEN TESTIFIED TO ALREADY HUTCH
WHEN I SPEAK ABOUT OF THE GREAT
WORK OUR FACULTY HAVE BEEN DOING
ON THE ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR
TRANSFER AND OTHER WAYS TO.
EASE TRANSFER FOR STUDENTS.
BOB I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE OF
GRADUATION INITIATIVE TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE WHICH IS THE CSU'S
AMBITIOUS PLAN TO INCREASE
GRADUATION RATES FOR ALL SEE
ISSUES.
STUDENTS WHILE ELIMINATING
OPPORTUNITY AN ACHIEVEMENT
GRANTS GAPS.
FOR THIS INITIATIVE THE CSU WILL
ENSURE THAT ALL STUDENTS HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO GRADUATE IN A
TIMELY MANNER ACCORDING TO THEIR
PERSONAL GOALS POSITIVELY
IMPACTING. THEIR FUTURE AND
PRODUCING THE GRADUATES NEEDED
TO POWER CALIFORNIAN THE NATION
AS TESTIFIED TO BY BOTH HANDS
AND JESSE.
BUT WE'VE PROVIDED YOU WITH A
HAND OUT. OF THAT YOU CAN SEE
THAT THE TRANSFER STUDENTS THE
GOAL IS TO MOVE FROM THIRTY ONE
PERCENT TO YOUR GRADUATION RATE
IN TWENTY FIFTEEN TO FORTY FIVE
PERCENT. TO YOUR GRADUATION RATE
BY TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. AND THE
GOAL FOR THE THREE YEAR TRANSFER
GRADUATION RATE FOR TRANSFERS IS
TO MOVE FROM SEVENTY THREE
PERCENT.
TWO EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT SYSTEM
WIDE BY TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. AS
YOU MIGHT IMAGINE THIS IS AN
ENORMOUS UNDERTAKING IN THE FALL
OF TWENTY SEVENTEEN FIFTY THREE
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED FORTY SEVEN
TRANSFER STUDENTS ENROLLED IN
THE CSU. THIS IS AN INCREASE OF
MORE THAN SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
TRANSFER STUDENTS FROM ONLY A
DECADE EARLIER.
OF THE NINETY EIGHT THOUSAND
SEVEN HUNDRED SEVENTY ONE
BACHELOR'S DEGREES THAT WERE
GRANTED BY THE CSU IN TWENTY
SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN.
FIFTY TWO PERCENT WERE EARNED BY
STUDENTS WHO TRANSFERRED TO THE
CSU FROM CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
WE CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE
CLOSELY WITH OUR COLLEAGUES IN
THE UC'S IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES.
MY ROLE AT THE CSU CHOSE HIS
OFFICE INCLUDE SERVING AS THE
PRIMARY POINT OF CONTACT FOR
GENERAL EDUCATION POLICY AND
CURRICULUM MATTERS AMONG THE
HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA OFFICE OF THE
PRESIDENT AND OUR TWENTY THREE
CSU CAMPUSES.
THIS INCLUDES RESPONSIBILITY FOR
AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
COLLABORATION AMONG THE THREE
SYSTEMS
THE ANNUAL REVIEW OF MORE THAN
TWO THOUSAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
COURSES. PERSEUS U. G. E. BREATH
OR THE I GUESS HE STATUS THAT
YOU HEARD ABOUT EARLIER.
THE ANNUAL REVIEW PROCESS THAT
WE UNDERTAKE GUARANTEES A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT THAT
THE APPROVED G. E. COURSES THAT
THEY ARE TAKING WILL TRANSFER
AND MEET CSU G. E. BREATH OR I
GUESS HE STANDARDS.
IF STUDENTS UC'S APPROVE COURSES
THEY CAN FULFILL THEIR LOWER
DIVISION REQUIREMENTS AT A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE PRIOR TO
TRANSFERRING TO THE CSU.
WITH I GET CITY THEY HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TRANSFERRED TO
EITHER THE CSU OR THE UC WITH
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
COMPLETED FOR THE CSU AND
COMPLETED FOR MOST COLLEGES AND
MAJORS AT THE UC.
ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS
OF OUR WORK IN THE CS USED TO
ENSURE A STREAM LIVE TRANSFER
PROCESS FOR OUR STUDENTS. WE
TALKED BRIEFLY ABOUT TWO ASPECTS
THAT WE'VE WORKED ON RECENTLY
MOSTLY ABOUT ASSOCIATE DEGREES
BUT I WANNA TOUCH BRIEFLY ON
REVISIONS TOWARD EXECUTIVE ORDER
ON GENERAL EDUCATION.
WE'VE HEARD FROM OUR STUDENTS AT
THE TRANSFER PROCESS IS NOT
ALWAYS WORK SMOOTHLY. THIS
INCLUDED OUR GENERAL EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS WHICH SOME CSU
CAMPUS HAD ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
BEYONDER EXECUTIVE ORDER.
OUR RECENT REVISION FOCUSED ON
STUDENT SUPPORTIVE CHANGES
INCLUDING GIVING ALL SERIOUS YOU
FIRST TIME FRESHMEN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE ENGLISH
AND MATHEMATICS QUANTITATIVE
REASONING REQUIREMENTS DURING
THEIR FIRST YEAR. IMPROVING
TRANSFER FROM THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES TO THE CSU THAN AMONG
CSU CAMPUSES AND ENSURING EQUITY
IN FACILITY FACILITATING DEGREE
COMPLETION FOR ALL OUR STUDENTS.
FOR REVISED POLICY ENSURES THAT
CAMPUSES ARE DO NOT.
ASK TRANSFER STUDENTS TO DO
ADDITIONAL GENERAL EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS BEYOND THE UPPER
DIVISION. NINE UNITS.
THE ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR
TRANSFER THIS WEEK US BECAUSE WE
HAVE TALKED ABOUT.
REALLY OR ONE OF THE MOST
IMPORTANT FOUGHT POLICIES THAT
WE'VE ENACTED BUT IN THE LAST.
TWO TO THREE DECADES.
EXCUSE ME.
WITH AN EIGHTY TWO STUDENTS ARE
ABLE TO EARN TWO DEGREES.
AND THAT'S REALLY AN IMPORTANT
POINT HOT EARNING AN ASSOCIATE'S
DEGREE ó IN ADDITION TO ABOUT
SHOULD AGREE GIVES A STUDENT TO
CREDENTIALS AND AND THAT IS A
KEY ELEMENT OF THIS PROCESS.
BOB AND IT'S REALLY A MASSIVE
CHANGE IT MEANS THAT WHEN AN
EIGHTY TWO STUDENT APPLIES TO
SERIOUS YOU THERE'S NO AMBIGUITY
IF A CAMPUS WILL ACCEPT THEIR
CLASSES OR NOT FOR BOTH GENERAL
EDUCATION AND LOWER DIVISION
MAJOR PREP.
THE ADT IS A SEAMLESS PATHWAY OF
AS YOU ALLUDED TO EARLIER THE
ACADEMIC SENATE'S OF THE CSU AND
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND THE FACULTY.
COLLABORATED TO DEVELOP THESE
DISCIPLINE FACULTY LED STATEWIDE
EFFORTS AND THEY CONTINUE TO
WORK TOGETHER. ALL ON FIVE YEAR
REVIEWS OF THESE A. DUTIES ON
THE C. ID SYSTEM THAT'S BEEN
BROUGHT UP TO ENSURE THAT THE
COURSES. WITH IN THE DUTIES HAVE
A COMMENT IDENTIFYING NUMBERS
FUNDS TO MAKE THEM CLEAR FOR
STUDENTS.
ARE CURRENTLY AS YOU MENTIONED
THERE'S FORTY T. EMCEES THAT
ENCOMPASS ALL OF THE MOST
POPULAR CSU MAJORS INCLUDING
BUSINESS PSYCHOLOGY
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
KINESIOLOGY AND OTHERS.
FIVE. NOT TO GET TOO DEEP INTO
THE WEEDS WITH NUMBERS BUT I DID
WE DID PROVIDE YOU WITH A CHART.
AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE CHART
PLAN TWENTY FOURTEEN FOUR
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY
THREE COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
ENROLLED IN THE CSU AFTER
COMPLETING AN EDTA ON A
GUARANTEED PATHWAY.
WHAT'S ALSO INTERESTING IS THAT
ANOTHER FORTY FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY
THREE STUDENTS COMPLETED AND
EIGHTY TWO. BUT TRANSFERRED INTO
THE CSU NOT A GUARANTEED PATHWAY
WHAT THAT MEANS IS A SELECTED
ANOTHER MAJOR.
IN JUST TWO YEARS WEHAVE TEN
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED NINE
STUDENTS WHO HAVE NOW IN RULED
AFTER COMPLETING AN ADT ON A
GUARANTEED PATHWAY. AND ANOTHER
EIGHT THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED
SEVENTY TWO WHO COMPLETED A TI
EIGHTY T. AND TRANSFERRED AND.
NOT ON THE GUARANTEED PATHWAY.
EVEN MORE EXCITING IS INITIAL
DATA THAT INDICATES THE STUDENTS
ON A DUTY. GUARANTEED PATHWAY
ARE GRADUATING AT A HIGHER
PERCENTAGE THAN THOSE STUDENTS
WHO ARE NOT.
THE SECOND CHART THAT ARE
PROVIDED WITH OF FOR YOU TODAY
SHOWS THAT THE TWO YEAR
GRADUATION RATE FOR STUDENTS IN
THE TWENTY FOURTEEN COHORT. WAS
FORTY NINE PERCENT COMPARED WITH
THIRTY PERCENT RATE FOR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
TRANSFER WITHOUT A DEGREE. IN
THE THREE YEAR GREAT RATE. IS.
SEVENTY NINE PERCENT COMPARED TO
SIXTY FOUR PERCENT FOR STUDENTS.
WHO DO NOT HAVE A DEGREE AS I
MENTIONED EARLIER THE GI TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE GOAL IS TO REACH A
FORTY FIVE PERCENT TO YOUR
TRANSFER GRADUATION RATE?
EIGHTY TWO STUDENTS HAVE ALREADY
SURPASSED THAT COOL.
THREE YEAR GOAL OF EIGHTY FIVE
PERCENT SYSTEM WIDE IS ALSO
WITHIN SIGHT.
PRIOR TO THE A. D. T. NEARLY ALL
COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER
STUDENTS WISHING TO ATTEND TO
CSU COMPLETED ONLY THE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS FOR TRANSFERS SIXTY
UNITS A TO POINT OH GPA. AND FOR
GENERAL EDUCATION COURSES THE
STUDENTS EFFECTIVELY TRANSFERRED
TO THE CSU IT AS JUNIORS IN THE
NUMBER OF UNITS
BUT ESSENTIALLY WERE FRESHMEN IN
TERMS OF DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
FULFILLED. IT WAS ONLY THOSE
STUDENTS WHO ARE SEEKING
ADMISSION TO AN IMPACTED MAJOR
CAMPUS WHO WERE INCENTIVIZE TO
COMPLETE COURSEWORK AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT ALIGN
WITH THE PLAN MAJOR.
WITH THE ADOPTION OF SENATE BILL
FOURTEEN FORTY. ADMINISTRATORS
AND STUDENTS WORK TOGETHER AND
FACULTY TO TREAT DEVELOP
TRANSFER FRAMEWORKS THAT
INCENTIVIZE COMPLETION OF DEGREE
REQUIREMENTS WHILE AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE. AND LIMITED
THE POTENTIAL UNITS A STUDENT
WOULD BE REQUIRED TO COMPLETE AT
THE CSU.
AS MENTIONED EARLIER EDT
STUDENTS WHO MEET THE CS USE A
MINIMUM ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
ARE GUARANTEED PRIORITY
ADMISSION TO THE CSU CAMPUS
THOUGH NOT NECESSARILY TO A
PARTICULAR CAMPUS FOR MAJOR.
ANOTHER INCENTIVES DURING COURSE
REGISTRATION.
AFTER CONTINUING STUDENTS
TRANSFER STUDENTS HAVE THE
HIGHEST ENROLLMENT PRIORITY AND
AMONG THAT POPULATION STUDENTS
WHO EARNED IN THE DUTY OF THE
HIGHEST PRIORITY. AND IF YOU
KNOW ANY STUDENTS THAT IS A
MAJOR.
BONUS.
MOST IMPORTANTLY STUDENTS HAVE
SIXTY UNITS MAPPED OUT FOR THEM
JESSE I JUST ALLUDED TO THE FACT
THAT STUDENTS SOMETIMES DON'T
WANT THAT MUCH CHOICE. AND WHEN
YOU COME TO THE CSU IN YOUR A.
D. T. YOU HAVE YOUR SIXTY UNITS
MAPPED OUT FOR YOU. THAT YOU
MUST COMPLETE AND HE'S THE ONLY
COURSE REQUIREMENTS THAT YOU'LL
NEED TO COMPLETE YOUR BACHELOR'S
DEGREE.
THE CSU IS MADE SIGNIFICANT
PROGRESS THROUGH AND VARIOUS
INITIATIVES TO IMPROVE IN
SUPPORT TIMELY DEGREE COMPLETION
FOR ALL STUDENTS AND REDUCE THE
NUMBER OF UNITS THE STUDENTS
ACCUMULATE. AND TWO THOUSAND
NINE ONLY SEVENTY ONE PERCENT OF
DEGREES COULD BE TURNED IN THE
MINIMUM ONE HUNDRED TWENTY UNITS
WITH HARDWARE FROM OUR FACULTY
KNOW NINETY FOR FIVE PERCENT OF
ALL DEGREES CAN BE EARNED IN
HUNDRED TWENTY UNITS. THIS IS
IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT MEANS THAT
STUDENTS CAN GRADUATE IN FOUR
YEARS IF THEY DESIRE. AND MORE
MAJORS CAN FIT INTO THE ADT
FRAMEWORK.
AT THE SAME TIME THE CSU STRIVES
TO ENSURE AND MITIGATE POTENTIAL
ROADBLOCKS THAT MAY DELAY
GRADUATION. EFFORTS TO SUPPORT
STUDENT SUCCESS AND TIMELY
DEGREE COMPLETION HAVE INCLUDED
FIVE SAYING AN EARLY WARNING AND
PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS WHERE
STUDENTS RECEIVE BETTER AND
FASTER FEEDBACK ABOUT THEIR
PERFORMANCE IN CRITICAL COURSES.
CONTINUED AND RENEWED INVESTMENT
SUPPORTING STUDENT SUCCESS
INITIATIVES THAT IMPROVE A
STUDENT'S TIME TO DEGREE. CAN
PROVE TO PAY POSITIVE ECONOMIC
DIVIDENDS FOR BOTH STUDENTS AND
TAXPAYERS THE STUDENTS WORLD
KALRA FEWER STATE RESOURCES. PER
DEGREE.
WE ARE COMMITTED TO WORKING WITH
OUR PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TO EXPAND THE ADT
OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS AN INCREASE
AWARENESS BY HIGH SCHOOL AND
COMMUNITYCOLLEGE STUDENTS ABOUT
THEIR TRANSFER OPTIONS TO THE
CSU. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
ASSOCIATE DEAN AT RAN THAT FOR
YOUR TESTIMONY AND YOUR GOOD
WORK.
CERTAINLY THERE'S A LOT IN WHAT
YOU'VE PRESENTED THAT HE GIVES
ME. A. POSITIVE.
POSITIVE FEELINGS.
AS YOU HAVE REVIEWED IN BUT
THERE IS A CHART HERE THAT
LEAVES ME A LITTLE PERPLEXED
AND.
ITS THE CHART THAT SHOWS THE.
THE TRANSFERS OF THOSE WITHOUT A
DEGREE WITHOUT A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE DEGREE.
AND THE LOOK AT OVER THE LAST
FOUR YEARS IT IT DOES SEEM TO
INDICATE. THAT TWO THINGS ONE IS
IS THAT. WERE NOT CUMULATIVELY
TRANSFERRING MORE THAN HAS BEEN
I MEAN IT SEEMS LIKE A FAIRLY.
CONSISTENT NUMBER EVEN THAT WE
DO KNOW THAT WE'RE TRANSFERRING
MORE QUALIFIED AND BETTER PATH.
I STUDENTS
BUT WE'RE STILL A STILL MORE
THAN A MAJORITY ARE NOT AT
TRANSFERRING WITH THAT.
THAT THAT DEGREE.
THAT THE MODEL DEGREE SO. WHAT
WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE TWENTY SIX
THOUSAND KIDS I MEAN IF IT WAS
AS IT WAS IT WAS HISTORICAL?
WOULD BE THAT A LOT OF THE
CLASSES THAT THEY TOOK.
ARE NOT GONNA BE CONSIDERED THAT
THAT.
ELIGIBLE.
FOR THEIR THEIR BACHELOR'S
DEGREE RIGHT IN IS THAT TO MY
READING THAT RIGHT. THEY
HAVEN'T.
IT THERE ARE TAKING ONE OF OUR
PATHWAYS NOW.
AND SO TWENTY SIX THOUSAND AND
TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN.
ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME PROBLEM
THAT WE'VE WE WERE ENCOUNTERING
THE FOR FOURTEEN FORTY WAS
PASSED. HOPEFULLY OF THOSE
TWENTY SIX THOUSAND EVEN IF THEY
HAVE NOT YET LEARNED OF AN
ASSOCIATES DEGREE THEY'VE
COMPLETED THEIR GENERAL
EDUCATION PACKAGE INCOME IN AT
LEAST WITH THE THIRTY NINE UNITS
OF GENERAL EDUCATION CERTIFIED.
AND THAT'S
A GOOD STARTING POINT OF HOW DO
WE KNOW THAT WHAT WHAT DO WE
KNOW ABOUT THESE TWENTY SIX
THOUSAND I I'M NOT SURE I WOULD
HAVE TO ASK OUR INSTITUTIONAL
RESEARCH PERSON. PEOPLE TO FIND
OUT TELL US MORE ABOUT THEM.
.
WHERE DID THEY COME FROM WHAT
MAJORS THEY GO TO CLUB THEY'RE
CERTAINLY NOT GOING INTO HIGHLY
IMPACTED MAJORS?
BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO HAVE
CERTAIN REQUIREMENTS MET OUGHT
TO GET INTO THOSE OF BUT AGAIN.
I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD BE VERY
INTERESTING PROBABLY TO SEE WHAT
THEIR GRADUATION RATES ARE I
THINK THAT WOULD WOULD. SORT OF
GIVE US A BETTER STORY BUT I
THINK AT MINIMUM.
AND DALY ARE HOPEFULLY
COMPLETING THEIR GENERAL
EDUCATION PACKAGE AND THEN THEY
HAVE ELECTIVES BUT YOU ARE
CORRECT THE STUDENTS WHO ARE ALL
ON SOME SORT. OF
PATH ARE DOING BETTER.
CERTAINLY ARE AND AND IT COULD
VERY WELL BE THAT THOSE THAT ARE
NOT.
OURS ARE SUBJECT TO THE SAME.
PROBLEMS THAT WE WERE TRYING TO
SOLVE IN TWO THOUSAND TEN.
SO I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN
FOLLOW UP ON THAT.
ANSWERS IT AND SO. NOT JUST IN
TERMS OF THEIR.
TIME TO DEGREE WHICH IS
IMPORTANT TWO YEARS THREE YEARS
FOUR YEARS.
BUT ALSO HOW MANY GOT MANY
COURSES THEY TOOK THAT MIGHT BE
DISQUALIFIED NOW FOR.
ADVANCEMENT TOWARDS DEGREE I
DON'T KNOW IF YOU KEEP THOSE
NUMBERS FOR THE CAMPUS KEEP
THOSE NUMBERS ARE NOT SURE I'D
HAVE TO LOOK INTO THAT IF THEY
COME IN WITH A HIGH NUMBER OF
ELECTIVES DEPENDING ON THE
MAJORS THEY END UP IN THOSE
ELECTIVES MIGHT NOT BE AS
USEFUL.
SO IF THEY'RE IN THE BA PROGRAM
THERE'S MORE ROOM FOR ELECTIVES
BUT IF THERE STUDENT WHO MOVES
INTO A BE US WITH A LARGE NUMBER
OF MAJOR DEGREE REQUIREMENTS.
THEY WOULD PROBABLY HAVE A LOT
OF EXCESS UNITS AND ANY NEEDS
THE DISCO HORNIST OF STUDENTS.
.
AT IT THEY CHANGED MAJORS.
WITH THAT BUT THAT'S AND THAT'S
THE REASON WHY THEY ARE IN THIS
CATEGORY BECAUSE THEY CHANGE
THEIR MAJORS FROM THEIR PATHWAYS
THAT RIGHT WHICH GROUP THE. THAT
TALK ABOUT THE TWENTY SIX
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND THIRTY
FOUR.
THEY MAY HAVE CHANGED MAJORS
ACTUALLY.
.
THE ONES WHO ARE IN THE.
THE MORE ROYAL BLUE EDT
TRANSFER NOT A GUARANTEED ME
PATHWAY THEY'RE REALLY THE ONES
WHO EARNED AN ADT AND THEN
DIDN'T GO INTO.
THE AJOR SOURCE NOT OF RIGHT
YOUR CHANGE THAT THE. NECESSARY
WITH THE ORANGE ONES IT COULD BE
A HOST OF OPTIONS. REASONS WHY
THEY.
CHOSE TO. TO MOVE FORWARD
PERHAPS ARE IN THE MILITARY AND
THEY DIDN'T WANT TO KEEP USING
UP THEIR MILITARY BENEFITS AND
THERE WERE ABLE TO MOVE TO THE
CSU AND START USING. THEM THEIR
EIGHT THERE COULD BE A VARIETY
OF REASONS WHY THEY MOVED TO US
WITHOUT THEIR DEGREE BUT IF YOU
GO ON THAT BACK TO HANS IS
TESTIMONY WHERE HE TALKS ABOUT
THE BIG GAP IS THE TRANSFER GAP
THAT AND IF IT EVENTUALLY TURNS
INTO A DEGREE.
IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THIS IS THAT
THIS IS THE NEW.
COHORT THAT WE HAVE TO FOCUS
OUR ATTENTION ON DOESN'T IT.
I THINK IT WOULD DO A LOT OF
THINGS RIGHT AND AGAIN POSITIVE.
PRAISE FOR THAT. BUT THIS THIS
IS THE GROUP THAT.
MY GUESS IS MORE LIKELY NOT TO
COMPLETE AND HAVE WASTED UNITS
AT HAVE ANY INCURRED A LOT MORE
EXPENSES IN LOANS.
THAT HAVEN'T REALLY RESULTED IN
A DEGREE ABBY AT A GOOD PRICE
IMPORT TO CUT UNDERSTAND THAT
BETTER.
AND THE QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE
ON OKAY.
SEVERAL ANYTHING CLOTHES.
OKAY.
ALRIGHT WE'LL GET WILL BE OUR
SECOND PANELIST IS SAID JIM I
I'M GONNA PROBABLY FOR AT YOUR
NAME CORRECT CHALFONT PERFECT
THANK YOU AND HERE IS A CO
CHAIRMAN. OF THE UC I TRANSFER
TASK FORCE.
YOU.
BEEN ONE OF THE LEADING VOICES
THE IN THE ACADEMIC SENATE ON
THIS ISSUE OF TRANSFER.
YOU ARE A PROFESSOR OF
AGRICULTURE AND RESOURCE
ECONOMICS AT UC DAVIS.
AND THAT WE APPRECIATE YOUR
ENGAGEMENT AND INSIGHT SWORN TO
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE GOLF
THANK YOU SENATOR GLAZER.
SENATOR ALAN AND.
IF YOU HAD A NAME TAG I WOULD
THANK YOU BY NAME BUT I
APPRECIATE THE WORK OF ALL THE
SELECT COMMITTEE AND IT'S.
IT'S REALLY. GREAT TO HAVE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE TO
YOUR WORK SO THANK YOU FOR.
GIVING ME THIS CHANCE TO SPEAK
ABOUT TRANSFERS AND ESPECIALLY
OUR TASK FORCE ON. THAT AS IT
SENATOR GLAZER MY NAME IS JIM
CHAU FUNTIME AGRICULTURAL
ECONOMIST THAT DAVIS.
AND I CO CHAIR WITH PROVOST
MICHAEL BROWN UC'S PRESIDENTIAL
TRANSFER TASK FORCE. I LAST YEAR
I CHAIRED THE SYSTEM WIDE
ACADEMIC SENATE.
DIDN'T I SHOULD MENTION ONE O
THE MOST ENJOYABLE AND
PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES. THAT THAT
SERVICE BROUGHT WAS MY
INTERACTIONS WITH THE SENATE
LEADERS IN THE OTHER TO SEGMENTS
IT WAS VERY PRODUCTIVE AND
ESPECIALLY. THOSE ALL ABOUT
STUDENTS SO WAS REALLY
ENJOYABLE.
I WAS A TRANSFER STUDENT MYSELF
I TEACH IN THE MANAGERIAL
ECONOMICS MAJOR AT DAVIS.
I NEARLY FORTY PERCENT OF THE
DEGREES ARE MAJOR AWARDS ARE
AWARDED TRANSFERS.
SO I WOULD LIKE TO TALK TO YOU
TODAY ABOUT HOW STUDENTS
ACADEMIC PREPARATION. GUIDES ARE
TRANSFERRED TASK FORCE EFFORTS
PRESIDENT THE POLITICS CALLED
UPON THE ACADEMIC SENATE. TO
CONSIDER SEVERAL NEW PROVISIONS
FOR OUR ADMISSIONS POLICY. THAT
WOULD ENHANCE THE TRANSFER OUT
TO YOU SEE DEGREE.
THE TOPIC SHE RAISED ARE CLOSELY
ALIGNED. WITH RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT ARE EMERGING FROM ARE TASK
FORCE BUT THE ACADEMIC SENATE
STILL NEEDS TO DEVELOP FORMAL
POLICIES FOR IMPLEMENTATION.
THAT PROCESS IS ALREADY UNDER
WAY.
THERE ARE THREE MAIN ACTIVITIES
WITHIN THE TASK FORCE THE FIRST
SUB COMMITTEE IS WORKING
CLOSELY.
WITH OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
COUNTERPARTS TO DEVELOP A PILOT
PROGRAM.
TO CREATE ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE
DEGREES IN CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS
RESPECTIVELY. THAT WOULD BE
BASED ON THE UC TRANSFER PATHWAY
COURSES. AND WHICH WOULD BRING A
GUARANTEE OF ADMISSION TO UC.
THIS PILOT WOULD NOT HAVE COME
ABOUT WITHOUT THE CLOSE
COLLABORATION BETWEEN ACADEMIC
SENATE LEADERS ACROSS ALL THREE
SEGMENTS.
A SECOND SUBCOMMITTEE IS FOCUSED
ON IMPROVING OUR ADVISING AN
OUTREACH
AND THE THIRD SUBCOMMITTEE WHICH
I CHAIR IS FOCUSED ON MAKING.
UC'S TRANSFER PATHWAYS MORE
EFFECTIVE TO BETTER ARTICULATION
OF COURSES.
BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
AND YOU SEE AS WELL AS KEEPING
THE PATHWAYS REQUIREMENTS UP TO
DATE.
A FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE GUIDES
THESE EFFORTS IN THAT IS
STUDENTS ACADEMIC PREPARATION
FOR YOU SEE. NEEDS TO BE
FOREMOST IN OUR THINKING AND OUR
PLANNING. WE WANT TO ENSURE THE
TRANSFER STUDENTS ARE PREPARED
TO GRADUATE IN TWO MORE YEARS.
AFTER TRANSFER WHEN THEY ARE NOT
WE CANNOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE LET
THEM THINK THEY'RE FULLY
PREPARED TO DO SO. THAT IS WHERE
WE NEED TO FOCUS.
UC'S COMMITMENT TO CALIFORNIA'S
COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER
STUDENTS IS UNMATCHED
NATIONALLY.
BY INSTITUTIONS OF SIMILAR
SELECTIVITY AND CALIBER.
WE ARE ALMOST AS MANY TRANSFER
STUDENTS PER CAMPUS AS DOES THE
ISSUE. MOREOVER IT IS OUR MOST
SELECTIVE UNPOPULAR CAMPUSES
THAT HAVE BEEN ROLLED ON
AVERAGE.
THE GREATEST NUMBER OF TRANSFER
STUDENTS.
SYSTEM WIDE ROUGHLY EIGHTY
PERCENT OF OUR TRANSFERS WERE
ADMITTED LAST YEAR.
FIVE OF OUR CAMPUS UP TRANSFER
APPLICANTS OF COURSE SORRY. FIVE
OUR CAMPUSES HAVE MET THE TARGET
OF ENROLLING ONE TRANSFER FOR
EVERY TWO FRESHMEN. AND THE
SYSTEM HAS ALSO MET THAT GOAL.
EACH OF THE LAST TWO YEARS THE
UC SYSTEM HAS GENERAL THE
LARGEST CLASSES OF TRANSFERS IN
OUR HISTORY.
UC ENROLLED MORE TRANSFERS BY A
CONSIDERABLE MARGIN.
THEN ID ARE I REALLY
COMPETITORS OR OUR MAIN PUBLIC
COMPARATORS.
THE MOST RECENT FIGURES BUT THE
FOUR YEAR GRADUATION RATE AT
EIGHTY EIGHT PERCENT FOR ALL
TRANSFERS.
COMPARED TO A SIX YEAR
GRADUATION RATE OF EIGHTY FIVE
PERCENT FOR FIRST YEAR STUDENTS.
USING THE DATA FROM FALL TWENTY
SEVENTEEN.
THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OF ALL
ADMITS AND FORTY PERCENT OF ALL
OF TRANSPARENT ROWLEY'S. HAD A
GUARANTEE OF ADMISSION THROUGH
THE TRANSFER ADMISSION GUARANTEE
OR TAG PROGRAM.
THESE TAG AGREEMENTS RE
AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS IN EVERY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
THE PROGRAM DATES BACK TO
DECADES AND CURRENTLY IS OFFERED
BY SIX OF OUR NINE UNDERGRADUATE
CAMPUSES.
THE PROGRAM IS SUCCESSFUL. IN
THAT EIGHTY SIX PERCENT OF
STUDENTS WITH THE TAG AGREEMENT
AND ROLE THAT YOU SEE. AND
ROUGHLY SIXTY PERCENT GRADUATE
WITHIN TWO YEARS.
TWO YEARS AGO UC FACULTY CREATED
TRANSFER PATHWAYS FOR TWENTY ONE
POPULAR MAJORS.
EACH CONSISTS OF A SINGLE SET OF
COURSES THAT WOULD PREPARE A
STUDENT FOR A GIVEN MAJOR ON ANY
UC CAMPUS.
IN THAT THIS SET OF COURSES
INCLUDES ANY COURSES REQUIRED.
FOR ADMISSION SELECTION FOR ANY
CAMPUS THAT OFFERS THAT MAJOR.
THE COURSE EXPECTATIONS FOR THE
PATHWAYS ARE READILY
AVAILABLE-ON THE WEB ALONG WITH
SPECIFIC
COMPARISONS TO THE ASSOCIATE
DEGREES FOR TRANSFER.
THE PATHWAYS STREAMLINED THE
TRANSFER PLANNING PROCESS
CONSIDERABLY. BUT THEY ARE
DISTINCT FROM AN ASSOCIATE'S
DEGREE AND THEY CURRENTLY DO NOT
INCLUDE A GUARANTEE OF
ADMISSION.
HOWEVER.
I PERSONALLY BELIEVE AND OUR
TASK FORCE HAS COME TO THE
CONCLUSION I WOULD SAY THAT.
STUDENTS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO
CHOOSE BETWEEN GUARANTEES.
OR AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE ON THE
ONE HAND AND THE MOST EFFECTIVE
POSSIBLE PREPARATION FOR
TRANSFER YOU SEE ON THE OTHER.
SO THIS MOTIVATES TWO
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE TASK FORCES
DEVELOPING. THE FIRST IS THE
PILOT HAVE TO ASSOCIATE OF
SCIENCE DEGREES THAT I MENTIONED
WORKING CLARITY LIST
COLLABORATIVELY EXCUSE ME WITH
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM.
STUDENTS WHO COMPLETE ONE OF
THESE DEGREES WHICH WILL COMBINE
THE UC TRANSFER PATHWAY. WITH
THE REQUIREMENTS FOR AN
ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE AND WHO MEET
A PARTICULAR GPA TARGET WILL BE
GUARANTEED ADMISSION TO UC.
THIS ENHANCES OUR CURRENT TAG
AGREEMENTS WITH BOTH AN
ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE AND BETTER
MAJOR PREPARATION.
WE'RE ALSO WORKING ON A PROPOSAL
FOR A A PATHWAY THAT IS THE
OTHER
NINETEEN AS WAS SUGGESTED BY
PRESIDENT APOLLO TANGO.
OUR POLICY ALREADY INDICATES
THAT THE COMPLETION OF A CSU.
I SHOULD HAVE SAID COMMUNITY
COLLEGE AND CSU EXCUSE ME
ASSOCIATES DEGREE FOR TRANSFER.
SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN UC'S
COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW PROCESS
BUT THIS WOULD OBVIOUSLY GO MUCH
FURTHER.
I WOULD SUMMARIZE THE GOAL THIS
WAY.
STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
VALUE ASSOCIATES DEGREES. AS AN
IMPORTANT MILESTONE.
THE CREATION OF A DEGREE BASED
ON OUR ATHWAYS SIGNALS EVEN
MORE STRONGLY. THAN SIMPLY THE
PATHWAYS THEM SELVES THAT YES UC
IS GENUINELY INTERESTED IN
TRANSFERS.
WE WANT EVERY STUDENT TO
UNDERSTAND THAT WE MEAN IT THAT
WE ARE INTERESTED IN THEIR
APPLICATION. EARLY OF CREATED
THE PATHWAYS TO PROVIDE CLEAR
GUIDANCE
ON HOW THEY CAN BE AS WELL
PREPARED AS POSSIBLE.
WE WANT TO DO MORE THOUGH.
EVEN THE STRONG SIGNAL SENT BY
CREATING BOTH THE PATHWAYS AND
THEN AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE. WILL
NOT BE ENOUGH WITHOUT
SIGNIFICANT OUTREACH IN ADVISING
COUPLED WITH AN EFFORT TO
MAXIMIZE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
AVAILABILITY. OF ARTICULATED
COURSES.
HE'S LIKE ALTHOUGH YOU SEE THAT
IN TURN TO USE THE TERM.
PROVIDING STUDENTS WITH
GUARANTEES BASED ON SPECIFIC
COURSE PLANS BORROWS FROM THE
PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES GUIDED PATHWAYS
INITIATIVE. ESPECIALLY THE
PROVISION OF CLEAR CURRICULAR
PATHWAYS. TO EMPLOYMENT AND
FURTHER EDUCATION SO.
ACADEMIC AND STUDENT AFFAIRS
ADMINISTRATORS FROM ALL THREE
SEGMENTS HAVE BEGUN REGULAR
MEETINGS TO DISCUSS ALL OF THESE
ISSUES RELATIVE RELEVANT TO
TRANSFER. ACADEMIC SUPPORT
SERVICES UPCOMING POLICY
PROPOSALS THAT MAY AFFECT EACH
SEGMENT AND MUCH MORE. THIS
MIRRORS WHAT THE THREE ACADEMICS
SENATE'S ALREADY DO. AND THE
PROPOSALS I'VE DISCUSSED COME
DIRECTLY FROM THAT COLLABORATION
ACROSS
THE SEGMENTS.
I WOULD LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH
ONE FINAL THOUGHT.
GUARANTEES OF ADMISSION TO UC
ARE VERY ATTRACTIVE.
WE'VE LEARNED THAT ABOUT OUR
LONG STANDING TAG AGREEMENTS
THOUGH I THINK THEY ARE.
UNDER PUBLICIZED AND UNDER
UTILIZED BUT THEY NEED TO BE
COMBINED WITH THE BEST
PREPARATION.
IF WE ARE ADMITTING STUDENTS WHO
ARE NOT TRULY PREPARED TO FINISH
THEIR DEGREES IN TWO MORE YEARS
HOWEVER. WE ARE NOT DOING OUR
JOB. WE INTEND TO KEEP WORKING
WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND
CSU FACULTY.
TO ENSURE THE BROADEST POSSIBLE
AGREEMENT ABOUT LOWER DIVISION
NEEDS ACROSS THE SEGMENTS
BY IMPROVING COURSE ARTICULATION
AND ADVISING AND OUTREACH.
TO CLOSE WITH A PERSONAL
OBSERVATION I HAVE RARELY WORKED
ON SOMETHING THAT IS SO
UNAMBIGUOUSLY THE RIGHT THING TO
DO.
I THANK YOU CHAIR GLAZER THIS
CONCLUDES MY PREPARED REMARKS
THANK YOU PROFESSOR AT THANK YOU
FOR YOUR GOOD WORK.
SO I.
THESE TAG AGREEMENTS.
DO YOU HAVE THEM WITH SPECIFIC
COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
WELL NO SIR IT ANY ANY I'M.
EXCEEDED CASUALLY THEY REQUIRE.
VERIFICATION OF WHAT'S ON THE
TRANSCRIPT AND THAT SORT OF
THING I'M NOT REAL FAMILIAR WITH
HOW THE VERIFICATION PROCESS
WORKS THAT'S MORE A. YOU KNOW
ADMISSIONS FUNCTION THEN THE
SENATE FUNCTION BUT ANY STUDENT
FOR MANY COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS
FREE TO INITIATE A TAG
AGREEMENT.
WITH ANY OF THE SIX.
UNDERGRAD THE SIX UNDERGRADUATE
CAMPUSES THAT THAT THAT OFFER
THE PROGRAM SO THIS THIS IS THIS
REQUIRES A STUDENT TO SAY I WANT
THAT TOO I KNOW FROM THE START.
AND.
AND GET A BLESSING.
I MIGHT COULD WITH WHAT I'M THE
START BECAUSE THEY DON'T THEY
DON'T HAVE TO DO IT AS YOU KNOW
FRESHMAN.
IN IN MONTH WINE OR OR EVEN
SEMESTER ONE BUT YET THEY THEY
HAVE TO IT'S IT'S IT'S FOREST PO
IF A STUDENT KNOWS.
I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO THIS
CAMPUS THIS IS A PROGRAM THAT
CAN ESSENTIALLY SEALED THAT DEAL
ADDED AND AND AND AND MEETING
THEIR REQUIREMENTS.
BRINGS A GUARANTEE THERE'S NOT
SOME DOUBT BECAUSE OF IMPACTS IN
OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT IT NOW.
HOW MANY STUDENTS TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THAT YEAR SO SO
ROUGHLY A THIRD OF OUR TRANSFER
APPLICANTS I'M I HAD THE DATA
FOR IT WAS?
THIRTY FIVE PERCENT OF
APPLICANTS IN TWENTY SIXTEEN. OF
THE WORLD ATHLETICALLY ON IT
LIKE IT'S OUR SEVERAL WHAT'S THE
NUMBER WELL SO WE'RE NOT QUITE A
TWO FOR ONE FOR THE SYSTEM CRASH
YOU EATEN HERE GOING TO MAKE ME
DO EARTH METICULOUS. THEY ARE
GREAT YEAH SENSE OF THINGS I'M
SORRY.
THAT'S A THOUSAND WOULD KNOW
IT'S IT'S IT'S WELL OVER A
THOUSAND I MEAN WHEN YOU
CONSIDER THAT A THIRD OF OUR NEW
ENROLLEES. AT OUR.
LARGEST CAMPUSES ARE TRANSFERS
AND THEN THIRTY PERCENT OF THEM
SO YEAH IT'S IT'S GOT TO BE IN
THE THOUSANDS.
OKAY SO AND THAT THAT THE
POSITIVE THAT IS A LOT OF
STUDENTS KNOW ABOUT IT. PRICE.
BUT DO YOU HAVE IT BROKEN DOWN
I I MEAN I GUESS WHAT SURPRISES
ME IS THAT.
ITS BUSINESS THAT IS I GUESS
WHAT I DON'T KNOW IS IS IT IS IT
INSTITUTIONALIZED.
AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEVEL
WHERE THE STUDENTS COMING INTO A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
WHETHER IT'S THEIR FIRST YEAR
SECOND YEAR HOW DID THAT THAT'S
IT'S IT'S VERY APPARENT TO THEM
THAT. IF THEY CAN GET THIS
TRANSFER PATHWAY TO UC.
I I MEAN IT'S OBVIOUSLY NOT
INSTITUTIONALIZED BECAUSE I
THINK WE SHOULD BE OTHER TWO
THIRDS OR SO SEVEN ALMOST
SEVENTY PERCENT OF STUDENTS WHO
pDON'T USE IT.
IT ISN'T BINDING A STUDENT IS
FREE TO HAVE THE SECURITY THAT
ATTACK AGREEMENT BRINGS. BUT
APPLY TO ANOTHER CAMPUS SO WE WE
DON'T COME AFTER THEM AND SAY
HEY YOU SAID YOU WERE COMING TO
OUR CAMPUS.
SO IT IS MEANT TO BE SORT OF A
YOU KNOW I GUARANTEE BUT THEN IF
THE STUDENT WANTS TO PURSUE
OTHER OPPORTUNITIES OF COURSE
THEY SHOULD SO.
TO ME IT'S IT'S CERTAINLY UNDER
UTILIZED IN THAT SUGGESTS
THAT-IT'S UNDER PROMOTED I CAN'T
SPEAK FOR. HOW MUCH IS SAID TO A
STUDENT BUT I BUT WE ALSO HAVE
THE PATTERN OF USAGE BY?
COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHICH WOULD BE
INDICATIVE OF THAT SAME AND I'D
BE INTERESTED IN THAT IS THAT
BUT WE CAN CERTAINLY PROVIDE THE
DATA DEAL WITH IT IS THIS A
PRIVILEGE PATH THAT CERTAIN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES DO A GOOD JOB
OF PROMOTING THAT OTHER
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IGNORE. AND
THEREFORE THAT THAT WOULD
ENLIGHTEN US IN TERMS OF WHERE
WE HAVE ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT.
I DO SO I CAN'T ANSWER THAT
QUESTION IS THAT WE CERTAINLY
DON'T WANT IT TO BE OF PRIVILEGE
PATHWAY OR OR ONE MORE SET OF
REQUIREMENTS THAT ONLY THE MOST
SAVVY. ABOUT NAVIGATING THE
PROCESS CAN COMPLETE THAT'S
THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF ITS
INTENDED. EFFECT SO.
WHEN I MENTIONED YOU KNOW THAT
WE'RE TAKING A HARD LOOK AT OUR
ADVISING OUTREACH I'M WE'RE. IN
EFFECT I'M. I'M I DON'T LIKE TO
USE THE WORD BUT WE ARE
AUDITING.
EVERY.
.
EVERYTHING WE HAVE ONLINE IN
EVERY EVERYTHING WE PROVIDE TO
NOT JUST STUDENTS BUT OF THE
COUNSELORS IN THE. COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SYSTEM TO TRY TO MAKE IT
CRYSTAL CLEAR WHAT WE OFFER. AND
THE DIFFERENCE IS IT THAT THE
MODEL TRANSFER. PATHWAY THE CSU
USES STATE THEY TAG A CATALOG
HOPEFULLY EVERY HUMANITY COLLEGE
THAT SAYS THIS.
PETS ARE OUR MODEL TRANSFER
DEGREE PROGRAM AND BUT THAT THE
IT AND YOURS TO TAG IS IS
SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULDN'T
OBVIOUSLY SEE AN A COURSE
CATALOG AND IN SELECTING THAT
COURSE RIGHT.
I THINK THE PLACE TO DOES IN
ADMISSIONS WEBSITE YEAH I DON'T
THINK YOU'D SEE A TIME I MEAN I
I DON'T THINK OUR.
CATALOGUE LISTING FOR OUR MAYES
YOUR LIST ANYTHING ABOUT A TAG
AGREEMENT IT'S IT'S A CAMPUS
ADMISSIONS.
PROGRAM WILL CERTAINLY IS
STIMULATED MY INTEREST IN
LEARNING MORE ABOUT HOW IT'S
PUBLICIZED AND HOW KIDS ENGAGED
IN IT AND HOW EASY IT IS TO
UNDERSTAND AND.
I I GET THE MODEL DEGREE
TRANSFER PROGRAM BECAUSE AND SIT
IN THE CATALOGS EVEN THOUGH IT'S
NOT A CONSISTENT NUMBERING
SYSTEM AND. IT MAY CREATE.
CHALLENGES FOR THE STUDENTS IN
AND OF ITSELF THAT THE TAG
PROGRAM IS IS EVEN MORE
pIT'S VIENEN ALLIES SICK ACROSS
THE BORDER NOT WE WILL BE GLAD
TO PROVIDE OR THERE IS THERE IS
FOR INSTANCE I I'VE HAD A TAG
MATRIX WHICH ALREADY SUGGESTS.
THAT'S NOT THE BEST WAY TO
PROVIDE THE INFORMATION BUT IT
TRIES TO SUMMARIZING COMPARE ALL
SIX CAMPUSES.
WILL THAT VOICE AND THAT YOUR
WAY KITTY INDEED SENATOR ALLEN.
JUST WANTED TO ASK WHAT WHAT'S
THE LOGIC BEHIND.
ONLY ALLOWING FOR AN AGREEMENT
WITH ONE CAMPUS.
I'M NOT CLEAR.
IS SO SO I I HAVE AS AN
ECONOMIST I WILL SAY I'M PRETTY
HEAVILY INVESTED IN PEOPLE BE
ABLE TO RANK. THIRD CHOICES AND
KNOW THAT I PREFER.
SAY CAMPUS SAY THE CAMPUS BEAT
JUST LIKE I PREFER. YOU KNOW.
THIS GUY THIS KETCHUP TO THAT
WHEN.
BUT WE'RE NOT CATCH UPS AND
STUDENTS LIVES ARE VERY COMPLEX.
AND IT'S BEEN SUGGESTED WITHIN
THE TASK FORCE THAT THERE'S NO
REAL REASON FOR THAT RESTRICTION
AND. INDEED WE ALREADY LET
STUDENTS APPLY TO OTHER CAMPUSES
SO I I THINK WE WILL PROBABLY
RECOMMEND.
I IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO EXECUTE
THE TAG AGREEMENT WITH A SECOND
CAMPUS FEEL FREE THAT GIVES YOU
TWO OPTIONS.
THAT WHO KNOWS WHO MAKES THE
DECISION ULTIMATELY THE
STRUCTURE OF THE TAG. OF EACH
CAMPUS HA SO SO THE FAMILY.
FACULTY MAKE ADMISSIONS POLICY
AS DO THE WITH AUTHORITY
DELEGATED BY THE REGENTS BUT
WORKING WITH ADMISSIONS OFFICERS
TO. THE RIGHT SORT ON HOW IT FOR
BETTER FOR WORSE IT SEEMS AS
THOUGH THERE IS A SPECIFIC
POLICY THAT SAYS THE TAG.
THAT THAT THAT THE TAG INVOLVES
ONE. CAMPUS AND I DON'T THINK
IT'S EVER OCCURRED TO ANYONE TO
DO TO THERE'S NO THERE'S NO
REASON TO OPPOSE IT SO THAT NO
ONE HAS YET SAID ALL HERE'S. THE
BEST I CAN COME UP WITH IS THAT
WE PONDERED WHETHER WE COULD DO
MORE. OUTRAGE MAY BE.
IDEA WITH WITH SUFFICIENT
SUPPORT FOR IT.
MATCHES STUDENT WITH AN ADVISER
ON OUR CAMPUS WELL BEFORE. THE
OR R. CAMPUSES EXCUSE ME WELL
BEFORE THEY ACTUALLY TRANSFER AT
I SUPPOSE THAT COULD GET
CONFUSING. TALKING TO MORE THAN
ONE ADVISER THAT THAT'S THE BEST
I CAN COME UP WITH FOR A REASON
NOT TO DO IT I THINK THERE'S
EVERY REASON.
TO ENCOURAGE STUDENTS WHO WANT
TO PURSUE. A MULTIPLE AGREEMENTS
TO BE ABLE TO DO SO LIKE I SAID
NO NOBODY HAS.
COME UP WITH THE REASON WHY WE
EVER.
HILLS.
WELL LET'S SAY PROHIBITED ASKED
YOU SOME OF THAT WAY THEN I
THINK SOME THERE IT DATA THAT I
THINK THAT THE THE MOVE WAS FROM
NO AGREEMENTS TO ONE AND SO IT
WAS NATURAL THAT LOOKS LET'S
START THIS AND SEE HOW IT GOES
AND THERE'S BEEN NO REAL.
PRESSURE FROM ANYWHERE TRIBAL I
DON'T THINK WE ROUTINELY HEAR
FROM STUDENTS I WISH I COULD
HAVE TWO OF THOSE. AGAIN IF
YOU'RE ONLY IF YOU CAN RANK.
YOUR CHOICES THE SECOND
AGREEMENT ISN'T WORTH MUCH IT'S
A STUDENT WHO PROBABLY ISN'T
POSITIVE WHERE THEY WANT TO GO
MAYBE OTHER PERSONAL
CIRCUMSTANCES.
I'M NOT SURE I CAN MOVE CLEAR TO
THE OTHER END OF THE STATE SO. I
GUARANTEE IN MY PART OF THE
STATE WOULD ALSO BE VALUABLE AYE
I ABSOLUTELY CAN.
MAKE A MUCH STRONGER CASE FOR
RELAXING THE POLICY THAT I CAN'T
FOR KEEPING IT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION AT
AND ONE FINAL ONE SO IT'S JUST
SAY SO IN MY DISTRICT I MOUNT
DIABLO. COMMUNITY COLLEGE
IS KNOWN FOR A HIGH TRANSFER
RATE TO UC BERKELEY.
AND THE AYE TRANSFER RATE MIGHT
BE TWENTY STUDENTS BUT THAT'S
NOT TO GET CARRIED AWAY HERE
BUT.
SO.
IF.
.
IF THAT STUDENT.
.
I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IS THAT
WHAT.
DOES THE DOES DOES BERKELEY USE
IT TO TO.
CONTROL ADMISSIONS
OR IS IT TO ASSESS A QUALITY
STANDARD FOR THE COURSES THAT
ARE TAKEN.
WHEN THEY GIVE A TAG AGREEMENT.
I'M SO BERKELEY IS NOT ONE OF
THE ARE THREE MOST SELECTIVE
CAMPUSES.
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REACH THE TWO
FOR ONE GOAL WITHOUT WITHOUT
GUARANTEES
SO I CAN'T I MEAN I COULD SPEAK
FOR DAVIS AYE WHICH IS ONE OF.
THE THE SIX OTHER UNDERGRADUATE
CAMPUSES I OTHER THAN BERKELY
UCLA AND SAN DIEGO. ARE THE TAG.
CAMPUSES ALSO A DAVIS ARE
YOU USING THAT AGREEMENT TO
ASSESS THE QUALITATIVE.
STANDARDS OF THE COURSES
WORRY USING IT TO MANAGE YOUR
YOUR THE TRANSFER RATE THE
ENROLLMENT NUMBERS AYE AYE THAT
WE'RE USING IT SO I I WAS A
RATHER THAN MANAGE IT I WAS
ENCOURAGE ITS THOSE ARE OUR
CAMPUSES LE THE FOR THIS PAST.
THE TWO FOR ONE RATIO.
WE REALLY HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL
AT RECRUITING TRANSFERS AND.
AND AND AND MAKING THEM WANT TO
COME TO TO DAVIS I WOULD SAY IT
IS. ONLY ABOUT THAT OUT WE USE
ARTICULATION AND ASSIST AND NOW
THE UC PATHWAYS GUIDE. FOR
DETERMINING WHETHER THE SPECIFIC
COURSES THE STUDENT HAS TAKEN ST
MOUNT DIABLO VALLEY COLLEGE.
I NEED THE REQUIREMENTS IN THE
TAG SO SO THE. THE TAG AGREEMENT
IS ONLY ABOUT.
THE COURSES YOU NEED NOT
ESTABLISHING WHETHER OR NOT A
PARTICULAR COMMUNITY COLLEGES
COURSE TAX SATISFIES THAT
REQUIREMENT THAT'S THAT'S ALL
STILL DONE THROUGH ASSIST.
OKAY VERY GOOD.
GREAT WILL I WANT TO THANK YOU
BOTH FOR YOUR TESTIMONY THIS
MORNING REALLY VERY MUCH IT
WOULD BENEFITTED FROM YOUR
INSIGHT AND YOUR GOOD WORK AND
WE AND WE THANK YOU. FOR TO
WORKING WITH YOU IN THE FUTURE
ON THESE ISSUES ALSO THANK YOU
THANKS SO MUCH. YET THANK YOU.
OKAY PADDLE NUMBER FOUR.
WE WANT TO INVITE.
I SOME FACULTY AND STUDENTS TO
JOIN US HERE. HIGH AT THE FRONTS
THEY ARE A KEVIN BASQUE.
I IS A BASKET. CLARIFICATION IS
CHAIR OF THE CS USED CANCERS
GENERAL EDUCATION ADVISORY
COMMITTEE AND MARLENE
TRUMP.
WHOSE THE CAMPUS PROVOSTS
EXECUTIVE VICE CHANCELLOR UC
SANTA CRUZ. AND COURTNEY COOPER
THIS PRESIDENT OF THE STUDENT
SENATE FOR THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
WELCOME TWO ALL. THREE OF YOU
WELCOME.
SO LET ME KILL FIRST OF THE
PERSON HOPEFULLY I PRONOUNCE
YOUR NAME CORRECTLY. KEVIN
BASKETS PESKY FAST KEY BUT I
ANSWER TO ANYTHING OKAY. BUT
YOU'VEBEEN SO YOU'RE A
PROFESSOR FROM CAL STATE LOS
ANGELES CORRECT IS THAT WRITING
COMMUNICATIONS STUDIES CORRECT.
AND YOU'VE BEEN INVOLVED IN
THIS.
ISSUE. OF SP FOURTEEN FORTY FOR
AWHILE NOW TIME AND YOUR CHAIR
IN THE CHANCELLOR'S GENERAL
EDUCATION VISOR COMMITTEE
CORRECTLY WELCOME HERE AND WE
LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR TESTIMONY.
THANK YOU.
I WANT TO THANK YOU CHAIR GLAZER
AND. MEMBER ALLEN FOR THESE
HEARINGS ON STUDENT SUCCESS. TO
ME STUDENT SUCCESS IS MORE THAN
A DEGREE IT REPRESENTS THE
KNOWLEDGE AND THE SKILLS AND
HABITS OF MINES.
THIS POSITION AND CREDENTIALS
NECESSARY TO ATTAIN ACADEMIC
CAREER AND LIFE GOALS.
I ALSO APPRECIATE YOUR INTEREST
IN HEARING A FACULTY VOICE AND A
STUDENT VOICE.
ON THESE MATTERS I REPRESENT
OVER TWENTY SIX THOUSAND CSU
FACULTY. AROUND MY ON CAMPUS AS
YOU INDICATED THIS CAL STATE LA
RANKED NUMBER ONE IN A RECENT
STUDY PUBLISHED IN THE NEW YORK
TIMES BASED ON. UPWARD MOBILITY
FOR STUDENTS.
I'M A PROFESSOR COMMUNICATION
STUDIES AND AS YOU INDICATED I
HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF
INVOLVEMENT IN TRANSFER ISSUES.
THERE ARE SEVERAL POINTS I HOPE
TO MAKE TODAY.
FIRST CSU FACULTY ARE THANKFUL
FOR OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ACADEMIC.
SENATE COLLEAGUES WHO CHOSE TO
INCLUDE THE CSU DISCIPLINE
FACULTY. IN THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF S. B. FOURTEEN FORTY THE STAR
AT THE WORK REQUIRED BY THE
LEGISLATION TO DO SO.
BUT THEY DID AND THE TRANSFER
PROCESS IS BETTER BECAUSE THEY
DID SO WE THANK THEM.
SECOND
THERE ARE NOW TWO TYPES OF
STUDENTS WHO COME TO THE CSU
FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGES ONE.
POSSESSES THE ADT NOT AS MANY AS
WE WOULD LIKE.
AND THEN THE OTHER DOES NOT.
ON THE STUDENTS WHO PUT A
POSSESS THE EIGHTY T..
HAVE COMPLETED SIXTY SEMESTER
UNITS THEY ALL HAVE.
BUT THE THEY ALSO HAVE COMPLETED
THE CS USE GENERAL EDUCATION
REQUIREMENTS
AND HAVE EIGHTEEN MORE UNITS SIX
COURSES GENERALLY.
IN PREPARATION IN THE MAJOR.
STUDENTS WHO COME TO US WITHOUT
THE EIGHTY T..
OUR I HAVE SIXTY SEMESTER UNITS
AND FOR.
COURSES OUT OF THE DOOR TWELVE
UNITS OUT OF THE THIRTY NINE
THEY NEED. IN GENERAL EDUCATION.
BUT THEY MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE
ANY.
COURSES THAT PREPARE THEM FOR
THE MAJOR.
.
BETWEEN THE TWO YOU CAN SEE THAT
ONE HAS ROUTE TRULY A JUNIOR AS
THEY COME IN. TO THE CSU AND THE
OTHER AS.
DOCTOR WRITTEN INDICATED
PREVIOUSLY MAY NOT HAVE AS MANY
UNITS. EVEN THOUGH THEY HAVE
ENOUGH THEY HAVE ENOUGH UNITS TO
BE JUNIORS THEY MAY NOT HAVE THE
WORK COMPLETED AT THE LOWER
DIVISION IN THE MAJOR OR IN
GENERAL EDUCATION. SO WE THINK
THAT THE EIGHTY T. THE FACULTY
THINK THAT THE ADT IS A GOOD
THING.
THEY ARE CLEAR THESE STUDENTS
ARE CLEARLY MORE PREPARED FOR
THE CSU AND WILL LIKELY GRADUATE
CENTER AND THE EVIDENCE CONFIRMS
THAT.
THIS THIRD POINT I WANT TO MAKE
IS THAT.
COMMUNITY COLLEGES NOW HAVE
NEARLY A HUNDRED THOUSAND
PATHWAYS TO DECEIVE ISSUE THAT'S
A HIGHER NUMBER THAN. YOU MAY IT
MENTIONED IN YOUR OPENING
REMARKS ON NOT SURE WHERE THE
DIFFERENCES ARE I'M JUST GOING
ON THE BASIS THAT THE
INFORMATION. I WAS GIVEN. ON
THAT MEANS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENT CAN CHOOSE AND EIGHTY
TEAM KNOWING EXACTLY WHICH
CAMPUS IS COMMITTED TO THEIR
GRADUATION IN TWO YEARS.
LET ME EXPLAIN A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT PROCESS.
THE INTERSECT MENTAL CURRICULUM
WORK GROUP ON WHICH I AM A
MEMBER. CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGE FACULTY AND
ADMINISTRATORS AND CSU FACULTY
AND ADMINISTRATORS.
DETERMINED AT THE START THE MOST
POPULAR TRANSFER MAJORS.
DESPITE LACK OF FACULTY MET. AND
DETERMINED FROM BOTH SYSTEMS AND
DETERMINED.
WHAT
WHAT COURSES SHOULD BE REQUIRED
AND WHICH COURSES TO LEAVE TO
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO SELECT
FROM A LIST?
AS THEY DEVELOP THEIR OWN
TRANSFER DEGREES SO.
FACULTY MET.
WITHIN A DISCIPLINE TO DETERMINE
THAT TMC.
AND THEN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FACULTY DETERMINE THE ACTUAL
TRANSFER DEGREE WITHIN THE
PARAMETERS OF THAT TMZ.
THAT MODEL CURRICULA WAS THEN
APPROVED BY A SUBSET OF THE
INTER SEGMENTAL CURRICULA MERCK
GROUP CALLED THE INTER SEGMENTAL
FACULTY CURRICULUM WORK GROUP.
.
AND EACH OF THAT AND WITHIN THAT
EACH TMC USES COURSES AND ONLY
COURSES THAT HAVE SEE I DE.
COURSE DESCRIPTORS
THE CID COURSE DESCRIPTORS WERE
ALSO. DEVELOPED BY FACULTY
AROUND WITHIN THE DISCIPLINE AND
SO I MET WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FACULTY.
IN MY DISCIPLINE COMMUNICATION
STUDIES OR SPEECH COMMUNICATION.
AND AND WE WORKED OUT A NUMBER
OF COURSES THAT MIGHT BE USED IN
THE TNCALL OF WHICH I AND THE
TPC.
ONLY USES SEEK I. D. COURSE
DESCRIPTOR SO THERE IS A COMMON
NUMBERING SYSTEM WITH IN. THE
EIGHTY T..
THAT WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY NUMBER
BACK IN AND I'M SORRY I'M SO
SORRY I I TURN I WAS TRYING TO
AVOID SEE IDEAS THAT. OF COURSE
IDENTIFICATION NUMBERING SYSTEM.
AND THE CSU FACULTY AND THE.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACTLY WITHIN
A DISCIPLINE GOT TOGETHER AND
DECIDED WHAT ARE THE.
OUT COMES THE GOALS OF THAT OF A
CLASS SO FOR EXAMPLE PUBLIC
SPEAK WHAT ARE THE GOALS OF A
PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS WHAT ARE
THE USUAL ASSESSMENT MEASURES OF
A PUBLIC SPEAKING CLASS. WHERE
THE TYPICAL TEXTBOOKS USED AND A
AND ACTIVITIES WITHIN A PUBLIC
SPEAKING CLASS AND WE ALL AGREED
TO THAT? AND IT HAS A NUMBER SEE
ID.
ONE THOUSAND I THINK COULD BE
TEN TEN AYE FOR CUPPED INSIDE.
OF BUT THE AT AND THAT COURSE IS
IDENTIFIED WITH IN. THE TRANSFER
MODEL CURRICULA AS BEING A
REQUIRED CLASS
SO EVERY. TRANSFER DEGREE IN
SPEECH COMMUNICATION OR
COMMUNICATION STUDIES. THAT
STUDENT HAS TAKEN THAT CLASS
IT'S THE ONLY CLASS THAT IS
REQUIRED OF EVERY STUDENT.
AND THEN THERE'S SOM CLASSES
THAT WE GAVE THEM HERE'S A LIST
OF OTHER CLASSES PICKED TWO OF
THESE IN TO THESE IN ONE OF
THESE. AND THEY CAME UP WITH THE
ADDITIONAL CLASSES ON THAT
CAMPUS AND THIS IS IN THE MAJOR
WITHIN THE MAJOR UNITS THAT ARE
REQUIRED WITHIN THE MAJOR
CORRECT AND IS THAT SEE ID. A
SYSTEM STATEWIDE YES THAT
NUMBERS STATEWIDE YES AND.
.
I.
AND SO.
BUT ANY CATALOG I PICK UP FROM
ANY COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
IN THE AREA OF CARE OF
COMMUNICATION.
SHOULD HAVE THAT I. D. IF
THEY'RE ON THAT.
THAT THAT TRANSFER PATH.
THE COURSE NUMBER AT A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
IN THE CAPITAL YOU DON'T HAVE
THE COURSE NUMBER THE CATALOG
DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE AND
THEN SOMEWHERE THERE IT'LL SAY
SEE ID NUMBER SUCH AND SUCH. AND
THE STUDENTS WILL SEE THAT AND
WHEN THEY PICK UP.
I DON'T I HAVEN'T SEEN THE
PUBLICATION OF INFORMATION AT A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE BUT WHEN THEY
PICK UP THE EIGHTY THE TRANSFER
DEGREE IT'S NOT A. TMC ANYMORE
NOT A TRANSFER MODEL CURRICULA
IT'S NOW A DEGREE.
AND IT SAYS THIS IS THE EIGHTY
T. SPEECH.
AND IT LAYS OUT AT EACH
COMMUNITY COLLEGE HAS THEIR OWN.
SO THAT A STUDENT DOESN'T HAVE
TO GUESS WHAT THE COURSES ARE.
THE STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW IF THEY
PICK UP THE PIECE OF PAPER THAT
SAYS ADT IN SPEECH.
AT.
THE APPLE CANYON THAT WOULD THEY
GET THE RIGHT IDEA ABOUT VALLEY
I APOLOGIZE DIABLO VALLEY.
AND THEY PICK UP THAT PIECE OF
PAPER IT WILL TELL THEM EXACTLY
WHICH COURSES STUFF TO COMPLETE.
IT MAY GIVE THEM SOME CHOICES.
BUT THEY NO THE LASSES THEY
NEED TO GET THE EIGHTY TEETH. SO
THERE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSION
ONCE THEY. DECIDE WHAT THEIR
MAJOR IS THAT THEY WANT TO
TRANSFER IN. AND IT AND PICK UP
THAT PIECE OF PAPER OKAY.
THAT MAKES SENSE A DOES MAKE
SENSE.
LOW'S DECISIONS WERE MADE BY
ABOUT WHAT'S ON THAT PIECE OF
PAPER.
THOSE DECISIONS WERE MADE BY
FACULTY.
WHO ARE CONSIDERED THE EXPERTS
WHEN IT COMES TO CURRICULUM?
AND WE'VE WORKED AS JIM TELL
FAT JUST SET FROM YOU SEE WE'VE
WORKED REALLY WELL TOGETHER. ON
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY.
WHEN THE CSU FACULTY AND AS IT.
JAMES A LITTLE BIT LATER TO THE
GAME BUT HE'S WORKED VERY HE'S
AT THERE'S BEEN SIGNIFICANT OUT
REACH FROM THE UC TO THE CSU.
WHEN THEY WERE DEVELOPED AS THEY
DEVELOP THEIR TRANSFER. ABOUT
THAT PACKAGES AS WELL PATHWAYS
AS WELL. DID YOU HAVE ANY.
ITSELF I APOLOGIZE CERTIFICATE
TEST MIGHT YOU HAVE ANY THOUGHTS
OF THE PENETRATION OF THE OF
THIS PROCESS THAT YOU NOW
IDENTIFIED THE FACULTY HAVE GONE
THROUGH IN THIS COMMUNICATION.
YEAH THERE'S A HUNDRED FOURTEEN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES
YOU HAVE A AND AT ANY SENSE OF
HOW FAR YOU HAVE ARE YOU NINETY
EIGHT PERCENT COMPLETED.
ARE YOU EIGHTY EIGHT PERCENT
WHERE ARE YOU ON THE.
THAT LATTER YEARS HERE TO WORK
ON THIS SO WHERE WHERE IN YOUR
ESTIMATION ARE YOU IN THAT.
NAY IDENTIFICATION ARE YOU
SAYING. HOW MANY TRANSFER
DEGREES HAVE BEEN CREATED? OR
ARE YOU SAYING HOW MANY
TRANSFERRED AGREES THAT HAVE
BEEN CREATED ARE NOW ACCEPTED BY
THE SEA ISSUE.
BOTH.
I AM NOT PREPARED TO ANSWER THE
FIRST QUESTION. I'M A FACULTY AT
THE CSU AND I DON'T KNOW HOW
MANY ALTHOUGH I BET THAT IT'S
POSSIBLE DOCTOR WRITTEN WOULD
KNOW.
OR SOMEBODY FROM THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM WOULD
KNOW HOW MANY TRANSFERRED AGREES
THEY'VE CREATED I'M A LITTLE
LESS CONCERNED ABOUT TRANSFERRED
AGREES CREATED AS WHERE THERE
ARE GAPS.
WHERE STUDENTS ARE TAKING
COURSES AND THEN FINDING OUT
THAT IT'S NOT A TRANSFER PATH?
BECAUSE IT HASN'T BEEN
CERTIFIED.
I CAN'T I I I WOULD.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE HANDOUT THAT
A DOCTOR IN GAVE YOU A LITTLE
WHILE AGO AND YOU ASKED ABOUT
THE TWENTY SIX THOUSAND STUDENTS
S..
THOSE STUDENTS ARE CLEARLY
TAKING CLASSES THAT ARE NOT.
ON THE ADT PATHWAY.
I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY'RE DOING
THAT.
I THINK THAT.
IT HAS BEEN SINCE TWENTY TEN.
THAT S. B. FOURTEEN FORTY WAS
SIGNED SO WE'VE HAD SEVEN YEARS
TO TRY TO DO THIS.
ONLY RECENTLY ARE WE DOING A
BETTER JOB OF ADVERTISING.
THIS PROCESS AND SO THAT'S WHY
EVERY YEAR YOU SEE THE NUMBER
STUDENTS WITH EIGHTEEN IS
INCREASING.
MOST.
THE NUMBER I HAD WAS A HUNDRED
THOUSAND PATHWAYS WHICH MEANS.
MANY CSU SAY YES WHEN.
TO THE TMC NC ANY DEGREE THAT'S
CONSTRUCTED WITHIN A TNC WE WILL
ACCEPT.
SOME HAVE NOT BECAUSE WE GAVE
LATITUDE TO THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND SAID CONSTRUCT
WITHIN THESE PARAMETERS THIS
TRANSFER MODEL CURRICULA IT'S A
MODEL.
YOU GET TO MAKE CHOICES ABOUT
WHICH CLASSES YOU ARE GOING TO
OFFER AND SOME CAMPUSES OF SAID
IF THAT CAMP IF THE. COMMUNITY
COLLEGE CHOOSES A.
WE CAN GRADUATE THAT STUDENT IN
TWO YEARS.
BUT AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
JUICES BEANIE. WE TO HAVE THEM
MAKE THEM TAKE ANOTHER CLASS AND
SO WE CAN'T MAKE GET MAKE THAT
GUARANTEE OF TWO YEARS EYES.
RADIOLOGY FINISH YOUR TESTIMONY
BUT CERTAINLY THAT'S A PLACE
WHERE WE NEED HELP.
IS IDENTIFYING WHERE.
.
THINGS ARE JEAN SUCCESSFUL AND
WHY AND WHAT WE ARE CONDUCTED
FIGHT LIES THINK YOU'VE HEARD A
LOT TODAY ABOUT. SOME OF THE
PROBLEMS THAT EXIST I'M I DON'T
HAVE.
ANSWERS.
OR.
I CAN'T IDENTIFY THE PROBLEMS
FROM THE CSU PERSPECTIVE AS A
FACULTY MEMBER.
WHETHER THE STUDENT IS ONE OF
THOSE TWENTY SIX THOUSAND.
THAT COME TO US WITH OUT A
DEGREE OR ONE OF THE.
ALMOST EIGHT THOUSAND A COME
WITHIN A ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER WHEN THEY ENTER MY
CLASSROOM.
I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE.
WE IN THE CSU FACULTY TRY TO
MEET STUDENTS WHERE EVER THEY
ARE. AND WE ASSUME IF THEY'RE AT
A LOWER DIVISION CLASS THEY NEED
THAT PREPARATION BEFORE THEY
ENTER UPPER DIVISION CLASSES. IF
THEY ARE ALREADY MOVING STRAIGHT
INTO AN UPPER DIVISION CLASS WE
DON'T KNOW IF THEY STARTED AT A
CSU. WHAT THEY TRANSFERRED INTO
THAT OPERATORS ANYWHERE I
UNDERSTAND SO WE ARE PERFECTLY
AND WE'RE HAPPY?
WITH STUDENTS THAT WE RECEIVE.
GOT IT I I GET IT FROM A FACULTY
POINT OF VIEW BUT FROM A
LEADERSHIP SYSTEM LEADERSHIP
ACADEMIC STATE ACADEMIC SENATE
POINT OF VIEW IT'S AT. THE
DIFFERENT.
.
POINT OF EVALUATION RIGHT I I
APPRECIATE. THE ONLY THING OTHER
THING I WANTED TO SAY BECAUSE
WE'VE ESSENTIALLY.
EXPLORED MOST OF WHAT I WANTED
TO TALK ABOUT WAS THAT I WAS
ASKED TO.
SUGGEST WAYS TO IMPROVE THE
TRANSFER PROCESS.
AND YOU ASKED EARLIER THIS
MORNING ABOUT TECHNOLOGY AND I
HAVE TO ASPECTS OF TECHNOLOGY
THAT MIGHT NOT BE BENEFICIAL TO
STUDENTS.
ONE SUGGESTION IS FOR THE STATE
TO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT THE REAL
REDEVELOPMENT OF ASSIST
WHICH-YOU HEARD ABOUT TODAY
ASSIST IS
AN ACRONYM FOR THE ARTICULATION
SYSTEM STIMULATING ENTERS
INSTITUTIONAL STUDENT TRANSFER.
AT THE LOOK THAT UP I HAD NO
IDEA AT THAT IT WAS AN ACRONYM.
CON IT'S THE TECHNOLOGY THAT
STUDENTS USE TO SEE HOW THEIR
COURSES ARE.
CAN BE USED AT THE CSU ARE YOU
SEE. GETS PAID FOR EQUALLY BY
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES THE C.
ISSUE AND THE UC. RIGHT NOW IT'S
UNDERGOING REDEVELOPMENT AND
ASSIST TO PLANO. AND AND THEY
ARE WORKING ON IT.
BUT THERE'S ONLY SO MUCH
RESOURCE.
ONLY SO MUCH FUNDING THAT THEY
CAN PROVIDE FOR WITHIN THEIR
EXISTING ALLOCATIONS
FOR THAT.
IF THERE WERE SUPPLEMENTAL
RESOURCES FROM THE STATE. IT
WOULD MEAN THAT THEY WOULD HAVE
MORE BELLS AND WHISTLES THAT THE
STUDENTS WOULD FIND MORE USEFUL
AND SO ONE AREA. I WOULD SUGGEST
YOU IS TO THINK ABOUT FUNDING
THE REDEVELOPMENT OF ASSIST.
THERE'S A SECOND TECHNOLOGICAL
ASPECT AS WELL AND THAT IS
ELECTRONIC TRANSCRIPTS.
MOST COMMUNITY COLLEGES NOW
STILL PRODUCE TRANSCRIPTS THAT
ARE ON PAPER.
AND THAT WHEN THEY COME TO THE
CSU OR THE UC. THEY HAVE TO BE
TRANSLATED INTO COMPUTER TALK
AGAIN.
AROUND UPLOADED.
SOME SYSTEMS WITH THAT ARE
WITHIN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
SOME COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE E.
TRANSCRIPTSAND SO WHEN THEY
APPLY TO CAL STATE LA FOR
EXAMPLE. OUR COMPUTER TALKS TO
THEIR COMPUTER.
AND IT'S SEAMLESS.
WE KNOW WHICH COURSES COUNT
WHERE BECAUSE THAT'S BUILT INTO
THE ART IT INTO THE TRANSFER
SYSTEM.
AND THE ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS
ARE REFLECTED IN THAT COMPUTER
SYSTEM AND SO HAVING THE
CAPABILITY OF DOING THAT.
ACROSS THE SYSTEM A STANDARDIZED
SYSTEM SO THAT IS THE TRANSCRIPT
CAN BE READ BY ANY CSU OR ANY UC
WOULD BE BENEFICIAL BUT AGAIN
IT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT.
DOESN'T GET A LOT OF ATTENTION
BECAUSE RESOURCES ARE ARE NEEDED
ELSEWHERE.
STUDENTS AS YOU HEARD TODAY.
STUDENTS SOMETIMES SO MAKE THE
PROGRESS THEY WOULD LIKE TO MAKE
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THE
CLASSES AT THE.
TIMES ARE THE IT WHEN THEY NEED
THEM. UMF AND SO MOST OF OUR
RESOURCES IN THE C. ISSUE. ARE
GOING TOWARDS.
THAT ENDEAVOR TO TRY TO MEET
STUDENT DEMAND.
THAT CONCLUDES MY PREPARED
REMARKS OF FAT IF YOU HAVE
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS OR I I'M
HAPPY TO REPLY. AND I'M HAPPY TO
TRY TO SEND YOU ADDITIONAL
INFORMATION NOW THAT I'VE BEEN
HERE ALL MORNING I BY WISH I'D
BROUGHT THAT WHO I WISH I HAD
BROUGHT NOW IT'S GOOD THEN THIS
IS AN ONGOING CONVERSATION
FASTER THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY WE MAY HAVE SOME.
QUESTIONS IN JUST A MOMENT SIR
SO WERE ALSO JOINED ON THIS
PANEL BY THE VICE PROVOST OF UC
SANTA CRUZ. MARLENE TRUMP MIGHT
NOT SEE YOUR NAME CORRECTLY
EXPECTED TO HEAR A FORMER
PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH. AND WOMEN
AND GENDER STUDIES AT ARIZONA
STATE UNIVERSITY.
AS WELL AS THE DIRECTOR OF
HUMANITIES ART AND CULTURAL
STUDIES THERE.
YOU'RE CURRENTLY AT UC SANTA
CRUZ BUT YOU'VE PLAYED IT YOU
PLAYED A SIMILAR ROLE IN THIS
TRANSFER POPULATION. AYE IN
ARIZONA I'M SURE GIVE YOU A LOT
OF INSIGHT AND EXPERIENCE IN
THIS.
CHALLENGING PLACE AND LOOK FORTY
YEAR YOUR TESTIMONIES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU
SENATOR GLAZER IT'S IT'S A REAL
HONOR TO BE HERE.
AS YOU KNOW I'M NEW TO THE UC.
AT THE COLLEGE IN CAMPUS I CAME
HERE FROM HAD SEVENTY PERCENT
TRANSFER STUDENTS.
SO WE REALLY HAD A ROBUST
TRANSFER POPULATION I WORKED
VERY VERY CLOSELY WITH AND THE
SECOND LARGEST COMMUTING COSTS
DISTRICT IN THE NATION.
AND I'M REALLY PROUD TO BE A
PART OF CALIFORNIA'S GREAT
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM WHICH IS THE
PREMIER UNIVERSITY SYSTEM IN THE
WORLD.
THIS IS A SUPERB LAUNCH PAD FOR
CALIFORNIA'S TRANSFER STUDENTS I
MYSELF WAS A FIRST GENERATION
COLLEGE STUDENT WHO BEGAN TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND SO I HAVE
A REAL PASSION.
FOR SERVING THE STUDENTS AND FOR
HELPING THEM NAVIGATE THE
SYSTEM.
I'M ALSO AN OPTIMIST I REALLY
BELIEVE THAT WE CAN GROW IN
SUPPORT OUR TRANSFER
POPULATIONS.
AND THAT IT'S GOING TO TAKE THE
EFFORTS OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT
YOU'VE HEARD SPEAK HERE AND IT
SOME THINGS WILL TAKE TIME
BECAUSE THERE SYSTEMS THAT NEED
TO BE IN PLACE AND. WE HAVE TO
KEEP ASSESSING AS OUR POPULATION
INVOLVES
AND. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO
DIFFERENTLY HIDDEN? SO'S US TO
SPEAK THIS MORNING ON ON
BARRIERS TO ENTRY FOR STUDENTS.
AND ONE OF THE PERCEIVED
BARRIERS YOU'VE HEARD.
A BIT ABOUT ALREADY THIS
MORNING.
THE COMPLEXITY THE PERCEIVED
COMPLEXITY OF THE PROCESS.
WE'RE WORKING VERY CLOSELY WITH
COUNSELORS AT THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE LEVEL.
BECAUSE THEY'RE KEYED TO DE
MYSTIFYING THAT PROCESS WAS
STUDENTS AND.
BECAUSE MANY CAN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS OFTEN FEEL WHAT
I HEAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS OFTEN VOICE IS ANXIETY
ABOUT MAKING THAT LEAP.
TO THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM THEY
FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO BE
DIFFERENT THEY'RE NOT SURE WHAT
TO EXPECT.
AND AND THERE ARE DIFFERENCES
TO BE SURE.
SO WE NEED TO REALLY WORK WITH
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO HELP
ASSURE THOSE STUDENTS THAT.
THEY'RE WELCOME THAT WERE
PREPARED FOR THEM TO COME THAT
WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT THEM COMING.
ANOTHER ONE OF THE CHALLENGES IS
THAT THERE'S NO TYPICAL
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT.
HE MIGHT HAVE A STUDENT WHO
COMES FROM HIGH SCHOOL GOES
COMMUNITY COLLEGE WITH THE VERY
CLEAR PATH FROM THE TIME THEY
BEGIN. THEY'RE GONNA MAJOR IN
ACTS THEY'RE GONNA TRANSFERRED
TO UNIVERSITY AXE
AND THEY WANT A COMPLETE. DEGREE
Y..
.
THEY'RE ALSO STUDENTS WHO ARE
COMPLETING THEIR DEGREE OVER THE
COURSE OF MANY YEARS ARE SUCH
HISTORY OVER THE COURSE OF MANY
YEARS THEY MIGHT HAVE.
FAMILY IN A JOB THERE VETERANS
AND OFTEN COME BACK AND ACCESS
TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM IS
THEIR FIRST PATHWAY. SO THEIR
DIFFERENT WAYS OF NAVIGATING
THAT SYSTEM MEANS IT'S IT'S WITH
POSSIBLE TO BUILD A ONE SIZE
FITS ALL SOLUTION TO REALLY
HELP.
THE STUDENTS TRANSFER SUCCESSES
SUCCESSFULLY. THAT DEMOGRAPHIC
IS INCREDIBLY DIVERSE AND THAT'S
ANOTHER REASON FOR US TO WORK
NOT ONLY VERY CLOSELY WITH THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES BECAUSE.
THAT POPULATION THAT
DEMOGRAPHIC IS VERY DIVERSE BUT
ALSO WITH THE STUDENTS
THEMSELVES. TO BE REALLY
COMMUNICATING WITH THEM TO
UNDERSTAND.
FOR MANY STUDENTS THE ACADEMIC
REQUIREMENTS CAN BE CONFUSING AS
A TRANSFER OVER BECAUSE AS
YOU'VE HEARD TODAY. THE
NUMBERING SYSTEMS CAN BE
DIFFERENT YOU CAN BE MOVING FROM
SOME MASTERS TO QUARTERS.
I'M SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT'S
HAPPENING AT THE UC IS OUR
DEPARTMENTS.
ARE CONTINUALLY REVIEWING THEIR
REQUIREMENTS AND CONTINUALLY
THINKING ABOUT. HOW DO WE REDUCE
BARRIERS IN TERMS OF COURSE
SCHEDULES?
DECLARATION OF MAJOR TIMELY
COMPLETION OF DEGREE.
AND AND WE'RE REALLY LOOKING TO
EXPAND THE NUMBER OF TRANSFER
PATHWAYS AND I KNOW WE'VE HEARD
THIS MORNING TOO THAT SOMETIMES.
CHOICE CAN BE OVERWHELMING.
BUT IF IF A STUDENT HAS A
PARTICULAR FOCUS.
TO NOT BE ABLE TO FIND. THE
PATHWAY FOR THAT FOCUS AND THEN
TAP TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WELL
WHAT WITH THIS.
TRANSLATE TO ANY UNIVERSITY
SYSTEM CAN BE VERY CHALLENGING.
WE'RE ALSO WORKING REALLY HARD
TO DO EARLIER AND MORE EXTENSIVE
OUTREACH TRANSFER STUDENTS.
BECAUSE WHAT WE KNOW IS THAT IF
WE CAN CONNECT WITH THOSE
STUDENTS WHILE THEY'RE STILL
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS.
THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO OVERCOME
THOSE BARRIERS ABOUT QUESTIONS
WITH REGARDS TO CREDITS.
WITH REGARDS TO DIFFERENT KINDS
OF.
AT SEMESTER VERSUS QUARTER
SYSTEM WITH REGARDS TO FINANCES
CHANCELLOR OAKLEY HAS BEEN
INCREDIBLE SUPPORTER IN THAT.
HE RELEASED.
THE EMAIL ADDRESSES OF HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF COMMUTING
COLLEGE STUDENTS TO US. AND THAT
PERMITTED US TO ENGAGE IN
DIALOGUE WITH THEM IF THEY HAD
INTEREST IN TRANSFERRING.
SO WE COULD HELP THEM UNDERSTAND
THOSE ANSWERS TO THOSE QUESTIONS
RIGHT AWAY.
OUR MESSAGE REALLY IS GETTING
OUT FROM THE UC NOW.
WE'VE SEEN A TWENTY THREE
PERCENT INCREASE IN THE LAST
FIVE YEARS AT UC SANTA CRUZ IN
THE NUMBER OF TRANSFER STUDENTS.
AND AND AS YOU HEARD THIS
MORNING FROM HOUSES TESTIMONY.
TRANSFER STUDENTS TEND TO BE
MORE PLACE BOUND THAN FULL TIME
FOR SOME FRESHMEN WHO MIGHT MOVE
ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
AND SO FOR A SCHOOL AT UC SANTA
CRUZ WHICH IS PHYSICALLY VERY
ISOLATED AND DOESN'T HAVE AS
MANY COMMUNITY COLLEGES CLOSE
BY.
IT.
BEING ABLE TO INCREASE THAT
TRANSFER PUBLISHES A SUGGESTION
THAT THAT THE THE MESSAGE THAT
WE'RE SENDING IS REALLY WORKING
RIGHT NOW.
IF I HAD A. BECAUSE STUDENT
EMAIL ME SHE WHEN SHE AS A HIGH
SCHOOL SENIOR UNDERPINNINGS
MILLIA.
AT THIS FALL AND SHE SAID I
WANNA COME BE A BANANA SLUG I'M
REALLY EXCITED I REALLY WANT TO
COME IN AND BE ON YOUR CAMPUS.
SO I FOUND OUT WHEN HER CAMPUS
TOUR WAS A NICE SURPRISE DURING
A CAMPUS TOUR MET WITH HER AND
WENT TO THE CAMPUS FOR WITH HER
HER TRUE GROUP.
SHE EMAILED ME JUST A FEW DAYS
AGO AND TOLD ME SHE WAS NOT
ADMITTED.
BUT SHE SAID IN HER EMAIL I HAVE
A VERY CLEAR PLAN GOING TO MY
LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE IMMINENT
COMPLETE THAT DEGREE AND THEN
I'M GONNA TRANSFER IN.
SO THAT IT'S CLEAR TO ME THAT
STUDENTS UNDERSTAND NOW THAT
THAT'S AN OPTION IN A PATHWAY
FOR THEM. WHERE'S THEY MAY NOT
HAVE BEFORE.
I'M OR BUILDING NEW PROGRAMS I
THINK ARE INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT
THAT UNDERSTAND THE COMPLEXITY
OF THAT POPULATION.
ONE OF THE PROGRAMS AT UC SANTA
CRUZ THIS CULTIVAR MOST
EXCELENCIA.
THIS PROGRAM HAS IS AT SAN JOSE
CITY COLLEGE.
IT HAS UC SANTA CRUZ COURSES TOP
A UC SANTA CRUZ FACULTY RIGHT
THERE ON THEIR HOME CAMPUS.
AS SAN JOSE COMMUNITY COLLEGE WE
ALSO PARA THOSE STUDENTS. WITH
UC SANTA CRUZ GRADUATE STUDENTS
SO THEY GET MENTORSHIP AND
SUPPORT. SO WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO IS MEET THE STUDENTS WHILE
THEY'RE STILL ON THECOMMUNITY
COLLEGE CAMPUS BECAUSE IT HELPS
REALLY OVERCOME A LOT OF THOSE
BARRIERS.
WERE ALSO I'M AWARE THAT FOR
MANY TRANSFER STUDENTS FAMILY IS
CRITICAL.
I WAS A FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE
STUDENT. MY FAMILY ACTUALLY SAID
TO ME WHEN I FINISHED MY
BACHELOR'S THEN WHEN ON MY
MASTERS NOT MY PHD. ARE YOU
REALLY BAD AT THIS IS THAT WHY
YOU'RE SO GOOD SCHOOL.
AND I SAID NO ACTUALLY PEOPLE
THINK I'M PRETTY GOOD AT IT BUT
THERE WAS JUST NO COMPREHENSION
OF WHAT I WAS STILL DOING A
COLLEGE AFTER ALL THESE YEARS.
AND SO.
SO WE'RE WE'RE DEVELOPING FAMILY
DAY PROGRAMS THAT HAVE REALLY
SHOWN IMPACT ON HELPING ARE
TRANSFER STUDENTS MAKE THAT LEAP
AND SOMETIMES IT'S BECAUSE. THE
STUDENT THEMSELVES
HAS A SPOUSE OR CHILDREN.
AND ONCE TO ENGAGE THEM IN THE
PROCESS AND SOMETIMES IT'S
BECAUSE SOME ARE TRADITIONALLY
H. DIDN'T.
BUT THEY REALLY WANT THEIR
EXTENDED FAMILY TO UNDERSTAND
THE PROCESS.
NOW ONCE AND TRANSFER STUDENTS
ARE ADMITTED THEY OFTEN HAVE A
LOT OF QUESTIONS OF THE VERY
KINDS WE'VE HEARD ABOUT ALREADY
THIS MORNING.
SO WE'RE WORKING TO BUILD
TRANSITION AND TRANSFER MENTORS
TO HELP TRAIN AND TRAIN STUDENTS
STAFF. TO HELP THOSE STUDENTS
BECOME BETTER PREPARED AND FEEL
MORE ACCLIMATED.
WE KNOW FROM OUR STUDENTS
THEMSELVES THAT THEIR NUMBER ONE
CONCERN WHEN THEY TRANSFERRED TO
THE USE THAT YOU SEE IS SOCIAL
BELONGING.
BECAUSE THEY DON'T COME IN WITH
A QUARTER FRESHMAN.
AS AS FRESH STUDENTS TO WE'RE
TRYING TO BUILD THE STRUCTURES
IN PLACE FOR THEM SO. IN
ADDITION TO THE TRANSFER IN
TRANSITION MENTORS WERE BUILDING
TRANSFER COMMUNITIES AND SOME OF
OUR RESIDENCE HALL.
SO THAT STUDENTS CAN LIVE A
COHORT AT HOUSING WERE BUILDING
SOCIAL PROGRAMMING SO COFFEE
HOURS FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS.
CAREER EXPLORATION FOR TRANSFER
STUDENTS AND WERE ALSO BUILDING
ACTUAL CLASS CURRICULUM FOR
TRANSFER STUDENTS SOUP TO OUR
CREDIT HOUR COURSES FOR
TRANSFERS THAT. THAT HELP THEM
BUILD A COMMUNITY WITH ONE
ANOTHER BUT ALSO WITH THE
CAMPUS.
STUDENTS TO TRANSFER ALSO.
AND NOTICE AND ARE OFTEN
ANXIOUS ABOUT DIFFERENT KINDS OF
EXPERIENCES WITH FACULTY.
AND SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE BUILDING.
AND FACULTY DINNER PROGRAM SO WE
CAN HAVE STUDENTS MEET WITH
FACULTY WHO COME IN AS
TRANSFERS.
WE'RE BUILDING OUR RESEARCH
PROGRAMS OUT BECAUSE ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT NATIONALLY RESEARCH
HAS SHOWN.
ISN'T OF UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
ENGAGE IN RESEARCH WHEN THEY
TRANSFER.
TO THE UNIVERSITY THE FARMER
LIKELY TO STAY ON TRACK ON TIME
AND TO SUCCEED IN THEIR DEGREE.
SO WE'RE BUILDING THOSE KINDS OF
PROGRAMS ONE OF THE PROGRAMS WE
HAVE AT UC SANTA CRUZ.
I'M I WAS TOURING A SOME OF OUR
OUR NATURAL RESERVE SPACES FOR
THE UC. WERE NOT SHORTLY AFTER I
ARRIVED HERE.
AND I WENT TO ONION HUEVO
WITCHES AND YOURS UC SANTA CRUZ
CAMPUS TO BEAUTIFUL RESERVE.
WITH ELEPHANT SEALS HAS A LOT
OF RESEARCH DONE GLOBAL GLOBAL
IMPORT RESEARCH ON AN ELEPHANT
SEALS THEY'RE. GONNA BUMP INTO
THIS HUGE GROUP OF STUDENTS AND
SO I WALKED UP AND INTRODUCED
MYSELF TO THEM. AND IT WAS A
COHORT OF TRANSFER STUDENTS FROM
VARIOUS COMMUNITY COLLEGES
ACROSS THE STATE. THAT WE'RE
DOING A RESEARCH PROGRAM PRIOR
TO ENTERING.
THAT FALL AND THEY WERE SO
EXCITED TO BE THERE AND WHAT
THEY TOLD ME WAS THAT IT WAS ONE
OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT ACADEMIC
EXPERIENCES THEY'D EVER HAD. IN
THAT HAD REALLY GIVEN THEM
CONFIDENCE
TO COME TO THE UC SO THOSE KINDS
OF FACULTY PARTNERSHIPS AND
RESEARCH PROGRAMS MAKE A REAL
IMPACT.
ONE OF THE OTHER REALLY BIG
OBSTACLES IS FINANCES.
THE BLUE AND GOLD PROGRAM
DOESN'T COVER THE COST OF
HOUSING AND THAT'S A BIG ISSUE
FOR STUDENTS PARTICULARLY. I'M
FOR THE UC WHERE IT.
INSTITUTIONS ARE LOCATED IN
PLACES WHERE THE COST OF LIVING
CAN BE VERY HIGH.
IN WHERE TRANSFER STUDENTS HAVE
OFTEN BEEN ABLE STATE HOME WHEN
THEY'VE DONE THEIR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE DEGREE.
ESPECIALLY A PLACE LIKE UC SANTA
CRUZ WERE HOUSING PRICES CAN BE
ASTRONOMICAL FOR STUDENTS.
BUT THERE IS MONEY AVAILABLE ON
ON ON ALL OF OUR CAMPUSES TO
HELP STUDENTS AND PARTLY IT'S
ABOUT COMMUNICATING. WHAT THOSE
RESOURCES ARE?
SO THE STARS PROGRAM WHICH IS
OUR TRANSFER PROGRAM GIVES ABOUT
IT TWO HUNDRED K. ANNUALLY. AND
WE HAVE ABOUT ONE AND A HALF
MILLION OVER TWO YEARS FOR NEWLY
ACQUITTED TRANSFER STUDENTS TO
HELP THEM WITH THINGS LIKE
HOUSING.
I'M I JUST WANNA FINALLY IN
CLOSING MENTION A FUSE.
SPECIFIC TRANSFER INITIATIVES
THAT HAVE HAPPENED ACROSS THE
UC.
AND ALSO SPECIFICALLY ON UC
SANTA CRUZ'S CAMPUS.
WE'RE CREATING NEW STAFF
POSITIONS TO SUPPORT TRANSFER
STUDENTS BECAUSE WERE
RECOGNIZING REAL NEED THEIR.
WE'RE CREATING COMMUNITY BEFORE
THEIR ARRIVAL TO CAMPUS SO
ENGINEERING SCHOOLS.
STEM PROGRAMS ARE OFTEN WHERE
WHERE YOU'VE SEEN IT THAT
SOMETIMES A GAP IN TRANSFER
PATHWAYS. ARE OFTEN BUILDING
THEIR OWN SUPPORT NETWORKS FOR
THE STUDENTS WITH THEIR REACHING
OUT AND CREATING SPECIAL WELCOME
PROGRAMS FOR THE STUDENTS. AS
THEY ARRIVE.
.
WE'RE CREATING SPECIAL
INDIVIDUAL COURSES WERE CREATING
STUDENT AMBASSADOR PROGRAMS AND
FACULTY AMBASSADOR PROGRAMS.
AND WE'RE CREATING PATHWAYS INTO
STUDENT RESEARCH WHICH CREATES
LINKS BETWEEN STUDENTS AND WITH
FACULTY. AND I THINK PROGRAMS
LIKE THAT WERE REALLY GOING TO
SEE.
PUBLIC REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER
OF THOSE BARRIERS.
GOOD THANK YOU GROW STRONG PER
YEAR.
INSIGHT ABOUT WHAT'S HAPPENING
HERE YOUR WORLD WITH TRANSFERS
APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH AND I
HAVE A QUESTION IN A MOMENT BUT
I WANT TO. MAKE SURE WE GET THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR. AYE THIRD
DEATH PANELISTS THAT COURTNEY
COOPER.
I YOUR STUDENT AT FOOTHILL
COLLEGE IS THAT RIGHT.
AND AND THAT'S THE LOS ALTOS
HILLS. AND YOU'RE ALSO PRESIDENT
OF THE STUDENT SENATE FOR THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
CONGRATULATIONS THING THAT.
SERVICE SIDE IT'S NOT EASY TO BE
IN STUDENT GOVERNMENT WHEN
YOU'RE IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
YEAH IT IS YOUR JUGGLING SO MANY
THINGS. HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
PARTICULARLY IMPRESSED FOR THE
STUDENT.
STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO DO BOTH.
AND SO WE APPRECIATE YOUR
SERVICE TO YOUR COLLEAGUES AND.
IS IT FOR THE INSIGHT THAT YOU
CAN BRING TO THIS TOPIC AREA
THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE THANK
YOU AND I AM ONE OF I'M GOING TO
SCHOOL THAT'S ONE OF THE THREE
IN THE SYSTEM THAT THE QUARTER
SYSTEM SO. WE'RE IN THE MIDST OF
OF DEBT WE CREATE NOW RIGHT
BEFORE FINAL THOSE. BUT.
.
JUST THINK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
HERE TO LITTLE SURREAL A I
BELIEVE WHEN I FIRST JOINED THIS
ORGANIZATION IT WAS. RIGHT AFTER
YOUR ELECTED INACTION AT THE
PLEDGE OF COMING TO LISTEN
LIBERATION.
AFTER AFTER YOUR ELECTED SO.
THINGS CAN A COMING FULL CIRCLE
SOUND I'M GETTING EIGHTY T.
ACTUALLY AND COMMUNICATIONS AS
WELL AS ENGLISH SAID HER
GREATEST ATTRIBUTE.
AND AND THAT ELECTION BE
TOUCHING THAT SO A SENSE TO
TOUCH ON A FEW TOPICS FIRST
TRANSPARENCY IS OUR TRANSPARENCY
FOR STUDENTS AND. I A I WOULD
SAY YES AND NO AND I AND OTHERS
FOLLOWED ST PORT ANSWER BUT.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE TAX CODE
IS THE TAX CODE TRANSPARENT IN
THAT IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK
FOR YOU CAN GO AND SEEK IT OUT.
YES BUT DO YOU HAVE THE MEANS TO
DO IT A SERIOUS STUDENT NOT
REALLY.
THE SYSTEM IS LATE ALPERT
ESPECIALLY WITH DEALING WITH
PRIVATE IT'S ASSIST YOU AND YOU
SEE AS WELL AS HAM MY SCHOOL I
THINK HAS THE SECOND LARGEST
INTERNATIONAL POPULATION OF A.
CULTURE UNIVERSITY IN THE
COUNTRY AND SO THEY SOMETIMES
WHEN I GO TO CANADA OR TO OTHER
PLACES.
THAT IS A LOT OF INFORMATION FOR
COUNSELORS TO VOTE HOLD THING
EARLY.
ESPECIALLY THE FIRST GENERATION
STUDENTS IT'S BEEN VERY
DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE. AND AS A
FORMER FOSTER YOUTH AND SO THERE
HASN'T BEEN THAT KIND OF
BACKGROUND SUPPORT THERE WORD
TRANSITION I GUESS COURSES. INTO
INDEPENDENCE BUT ONCE THAT
COVERTS CAO LIKE WELL YOU'RE IN
THE CLEAN CUT SYSTEM YOU KNOW
WHAT TO DO.
A I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT EIGHTY
TEASING ONLY KNEW ABOUT
ASSOCIATES DEGREES WHEN I FIRST
I'M START GOING TO SCHOOL. A A I
HAD NO IDEA ABOUT TAG UNTIL
ACTUALLY RIGHT BEFORE A I JOIN
STUDENT GOVERNMENT.
AND THAT'S ONE OF THINGS THAT I
THINK IT WOULD HAVE MADE ME TAKE
THINGS NOT DAHLE MORE SERIOUSLY
BUT.
A I WOULD OF PREPS
SOUGHT OUT HERSELF ADVOCATE MORE
TO MAKE SURE THAT I WOULD AVE
BEEN ABLE TO QUALIFY FOR
ATTACKER COULD HAVE DONE THAT OR
TO. KNOW ABOUT HONORS PROGRAMS
THAT I HAVE FOR INSTANCE MOST
COLLEGE IF YOU COMPLETE THE YOUR
HONOR'S I'M SCHOLARS SCHOLARS
PROGRAM FOR YOUR SCHOOL YOU'RE
GUARANTEED FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
AND MILLS IS ONE OF THE FEW
UNIVERSITIES WERE YOU CAN DO A.
DEL PROGRAM IN THE FINISHEDBOOK
YOUR BACHELOR'S AND YOUR
MASTERS IN THREE YEARS.
SO DEFTLY IF I WOULD HAVE HAD
ACCESS TO THAT INFORMATION. I
THINK THAT I WOULD HAVE MADE
DIFFERENT CHOICES OR WOULD OF
BEEN ABLE TO HELP ADVOCATE
BETTER FOR THAT.
.
AND JUST FOR INSTANCE I I DO
HAVE MY ENGLISH EDT BUT HAD AYE
MY EVENTUAL GOAL IS TO GO ON TO
LAW. THAT ANNA IS BUT
SPECIFICALLY. HUMOR CIVIL RIGHTS
FOR DISABILITY MENTAL HEALTH
EFFICACY BUT I BASICALLY FELT AS
THOUGH I HAD TO GO WITH
COMMUNICATIONS BECAUSE. THERE IS
A ONE TO START BROADCASTING AND
THAT WAS ABOUT THE OVERLAP SO I
HAD TO FINISH THAT. HAD A HAD A
COUNSELOR WHO COULD HAVE CAUSED
THIS I ACTUALLY WOULD HAVE.
GOT IN MY E. D. T. AND ENGLISH
AND COMES BUT APPLIED.
FOR THE HOUSTON DISEASES HE
ISSUES AS AN ENGLISH MAJOR
CONCERTS A BETTER BASIS
FOUNDATION IT TURNS OUT I WAS
GOING THREE CLASSES AWAY FROM
THAT EDT.
AND I DIDN'T FIND OUT TYPE RD
PUT AN APPLICATION TO TO
GRADUATE.
AND I I WOULD I WAS LAUGHING A
BIT AT ASSIST BECAUSE. I I'VE
SEEN COUNSELOR STRUGGLE TO EVEN
USE ASSESS.
SO WHILE THE INFORMATION IS OUT
THERE YOU DON'T KNOW TO LOOK FOR
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW EXIST.
I AM A BIG PROSELYTIZE ARE OF
THE EIGHTY TEASE ENOUGH TAG AND
THINGS LIKE THAT BUT I ALMOST
EVERY STUDENT THAT I KNOW.
ESPECIALLY THOSE FOR FIRST
GENERATION OR THEIR ON PARENTS
MAYBE ONLY TO TREAT DEGREES.
THEY HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT IT.
I THINK WHAT'S THIS WHAT ARE ALL
THESE THESE ACRONYMS AND TO TRY
TO.
DO IT YOURSELF S VERY
DIFFICULT TO FIND IT.
THE ADT PATH REFERS SCHOOL LIST
TO DO THESE CLASSES. BUT ONE OF
THE ISSUES IS ONE OF THOSE
CLASSES OFFERED WILL BE
CANCELED.
I'M SO I CAN GOES INTO THE NEXT
ISSUE I KNOW THAT THE FOCUS IS
ON FACULTY ISSUES I THINK WE
HAVE TO LOOK AT. BUT FACULTY AND
CLASSIFIED STAFF BECAUSE THAT
HIGH TOUCH OFTENTIMES IS COMING
FROM A CLASSIFIED STAFF AND.
SITTING IN.
TO STORY GOVERNMENTS AT THE
CAMPUS LEVEL THERE IS A TENSION
THAT YOU CAN FEEL AS AN OUTSIDER
AS A STUDENT IN THE ROOM BETWEEN
FACULTY BECAUSE FIGHT STAFF AND
HAS PLAYED THINK THAT IT'S A
VERY. HOLISTIC SYSTEM WHEN THEY
WORK WELL TOGETHER.
SO I WOULD SAY WHEN THE FIRST
ISSUES IS. THE IT FOR THE TRAIN
CUSTOMS IS THE RATE OF PART
TIME.
FACULTY.
THE AS WELL AS THE RATE OF THE
PART TIME THING THE FACULTY THAT
I GUESS LOOK LIKE YOU. I THINK I
WENT TO MATTHEWS FOR EVER HAD ON
A BLACK TEACHER.
AND IT THAT WAS SOMETHING
THERE'S RELIGIOUS PRIVATELY
TOUGHEST LIKE TEACHERS BUT. IT
DEFTLY DOT DOES MAKE A
DIFFERENCE I THINK BUT THE
MAJORITY OF THOSE WHO ARE I'M
FROM DIFFERENT A GRAPHICS
DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS MAYBE. THE
OUR ACTIONS BECAUSE THEY'RE
RETURNING FROM A DIFFERENT
CAREER THEY TEND TO BE THE PART
TIMERS.
IT MAY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE THAT
IS THAT. MAJORITY OF THE
DISTRICTS DO NOT OFFER PART TIME
FACULTY OFFICE HOURS AND.
THERE'S NO REPORT CARD SCORING
ALLOCATE CAN GO ON AYE I KNOW
LEAST DEFINED THAT NOW THE
REPORT CARD FOR EACH CAMPUS IF I
WANNA GO INTO BROADCASTING
DIDN'T WANNA GO TO CAPRI OR
TODAY ONE OF THE OFFICIAL.
WELL FOOT HILL HAS AN ON SITE
RADIO STATION THAT EXXON FACULTY
FOR THEIR X. MIGHT FREEZE.
AND THE OF THE FACULTY TO
STUDENT RATIO REAL DOESN'T PLUS
THE THE COMMUTE.
SO I WAS A WOULD PICK THAT
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE THAT FOR
FOR OFFICE HOURS.
IE HAVE A TEACHER THAT I ADORED
BUT SHE TEACHES
BETWEEN CARILLO FOOT HILL. AND
TWO OTHER SCHOOLS I HAVE
LITERALLY HAD TO DRIVE OUT TO A
DIFFERENT SCHOOL. THROUGH TWO
CITIES TO BE ABLE TO GO AND MEET
HER FOR HER OFFICE HOURS AND. IT
WAS IT WAS THE REASON I DID SO
INSTEAD TO EMAIL IS. I WAS
INVITED TO BE A PART OF A
STANFORD ON HUMAN RIGHTS OPPOSE
HIM.
THAT EVEN BE WOULD HAVE ACCESS
TO THAT THAT TEACHER THAT
FACULTY I HAD TO DRIVE I DIDN'T
START DRIVING TELLS TWENTY TWO
THAT'S A REALLY BIG VERY BEING
IN A WHEELCHAIR. MY YOUNGER
BROTHER WHO IS ALSO THE PASCAL
SYSTEM STILL DOESN'T DRIVE SO
HIS COMMUTERS ABOUT THREE HOURS
ROUND TRIP FOR THE BUS THAT THAT
CREATES A REALLY BIG BARRIER. AS
WELL AS PART TIME FACULTY. THEIR
MAISIE BUT YOU'RE NOT GUARANTEED
THAT I KNOW I CAN TAKE THEM FOR
ENGLISH ONE A ENGLISH ONE BE.
AND SO FORTH AND OFTENTIMES
THEY'LL BE THE FACULTY THAT.
THE CATCH ISSUES THAT YOU HAVE
ONE OF THE REASONS I WENT TO
FINALLY GET ON DISABILITY
RESOURCES IS BECAUSE I'M AT
DUNKIN. AT AMAZING INDIVIDUAL
THEY ACTUALLY THEIR FULL TIME
JOB WAS TEACHING ASTRO PHYSICS
AND ASTRONOMY AT STANFORD SO
VERY LUCKY TO HAVE ACCESS TO
THEM. BUT IT WAS THROUGH THEM AS
IF TO RID OF ALL THE MANY
TREATING THE SYLLABUS. THAT A
HEARD FOR THE FIRST TIME SOME OF
THE PHD SAY. IT'S OKAY IF YOU
NEED HELP.
EIGHT A I WENT AND THERE IS A
TONE HAD BROKEN HIS FOOT ON THE
FROM WAS LIKE I WOULD EXPECT
THIS PERSON GET AROUND CAMPUS
WITHOUT THEIR CRUTCHES Y. ARE
YOU EXPECTING TO GET THROUGH
SCHOOL WITHOUT THE RESOURCES YOU
NEED YOU ARE TAKING ADVANTAGE.
THAT WAS THREE YEARS AND BEFORE
HER THAT.
AND I TO GET INTO THAT AND YOU
CAN SEE DIRECT.
INCREASING MY EMIGRATES ONCE I
GOT THE THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS A
HAVE A PHYSICAL DISABILITY BUT I
HAVE ITEM. I HAD ANYWAY ON
UNDIAGNOSED PTSD DUE TO THE
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT I WOUND UP IN
FOSTER CARE. AYE DENIES HAVING
PANIC ATTACKS AT THOSE HAVING
TOO MUCH CAFFEINE. AGAIN THAT
WAS A TEACHER WHO'S ABLE TO
CATCH THAT THAT WAS A FULL TIME
TEACHERS LIKE. I RECOGNIZE THAT.
I HAD THAT WHEN I WAS GOING TO
MAKE PHD THIS IS WHAT'S GOING
GOING ON SO.
IF WE CAN INCREASE THE RATE OF.
A FULL TIME FACULTY ESPECIALLY
WITH DIVERSE FACULTY I THINK
THAT'S REALLY POWERFUL BECAUSE
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT. CAN CATCH
THAT SIGNIFICANT HAVE HIGH
TOUCH.
I WILL FEEL SAFE FOR ME TO THE
NEXT COURSE GOING TO THE CLASS
HOURS AND US HAVE HARD
COMPLETION RATES. ON
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT I THINK
THAT THIS IS.
SOMETHING THAT THAT.
IT'S NOT FOCUSED ON AS MUCH AS
IT SHOULD AND I KNOW RIGHT NOW
THERE'S PROPOSALS THAT ARE GONNA
BE COMING TO THE PARTY
GOVERNOR'S ABOUT FOUND.
I FORGET THE TERM BUT
ESSENTIALLY YOUR YOUR THE
PROFESSIONAL
LEARNING NETWORK THINGS LIKE
LINDA CONTENTS EXCEPT
FASHIONABLE THAT BUT I DON'T
REALLY SEE THAT AS FAR AS ALSO
THE CLASSIFIED STAFF SIDE. AND I
THINK PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
IT'S VERY CRITICAL BECAUSE.
I I JUST SPOKE WITH THE STUDENT
EXTRA HE'S OUR BEGUN IT'S HIS
AND EIGHTY T. WITH HONORS HIS
FIRST GENERATION HIS PARENTS ARE
FROM MEXICO. THEY HAVE A
ESSENTIALLY A THIRD GRADE
EDUCATION LEVEL
HE IS THE FIRST IN HIS HIS
FAMILY TO GET A DEGREE HIS NOW
FINISHES TRADE SCHOOL IN HIS
COLLECTION.
BECAUSE HE HAD A MENTOR THAT SHE
WAS RETURNING TO SCHOOL TO GET
HER MASTER'S THAT PUSH WAS LIKE
NO YOU'RE SO CLOSE GET YOUR ADT.
HE DID THAT BEFORE DOING HIS ON
ELECTRICIAN LIKE.
WORK APPRENTICESHIP WORK AND
NOW HE WANTS TO GO BACK TO IT IS
A BUSINESS DEGREE.
BUT IN DOING THAT IN. THE.
INTERACTIONS WITH CLASSIFIED
STYLES PRETTY CLEAN THE
TRANSCRIPT ANALYSIS THERE LIKE
THE BASICALLY SAID THAT. YOUR
GENERAL EDUCATION AS A TRANSFER
FROM ONE THREE CAUTION OTHER AND
AS HE'D JUST WENT OVER A THAT
WHICH IS MY FACE BUT.
THAT THAT STANDARDIZE THERE
SHOULD BE NO QUALMS ABOUT THAT.
THEY.
KIND OF HAVE RUN AROUND AGAIN IF
YOU'D BE BE DID NOT SHOW THAT
MENTORING COMMON HIS WAS A
WHISTLE ADVOCATE WHO KNEW HOW TO
WRITE AN EMAIL HOW DOES HE KNOW
THESE ARE THE RULES.
THEY WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP THERE'S
I SWITCHED ME INTO KEEPING ALSO
FULL TIME.
EMPLOYEE SO I I THINK GETTING
UP PERSON VOMITS IN THEIR CLEAR
ABOUT WHAT THE RULES TENANTS
ARE.
THERE CLEAR ABOUT THE PATHWAYS
NOT ONLY AT THE COUNSELING LEVEL
BUT EVERYONE WHO'S IN THAT
ADMINISTRATION RECORDS LIKE
LEVEL BECAUSE HONESTLY I KNOW
THAT.
I BUT I FIRST STOPPED GOING TO
SCHOOL THAT THE COURT ME THAT I
WAS AND WOULD HAVE GIVEN P
BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I WAS DIDN'T
DESERVE TO TAKE UP THE SPACE AND
HIGHER EDUCATION. SO
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IS
REALLY CRITICAL.
.
WHAT OTHER THINGS AND REASONS
FOR THAT AT AS WELL IS? IN THE
TRANSFER PATHWAY THERE ARE
UNCONSCIOUS BIASES THERE MIGHT
NOT BE MALICIOUS INTENT BUT I'VE
HEARD THIS NUMEROUS TIMES
ESPECIALLY FROM FEMALE STUDENTS
WILL DO YOU ONE INSTEAD GOING TO
DENY HYGIENE DO YOU REALLY WANT
SPEND THIS MANY YEARS. TO GO
INTO BEING ACTUAL DID A CERTAIN
A CERTAIN.
I'D I HONESTLY BELIEVE WITH MY.
FORMER CLASSMATE THAT WHEN THE
ISSUES WAS.
HE IS A VERY NICKNAME AND
LIKEABLE WE DON'T THINK THAT YOU
ACTUALLY TOOK THIS THE CORRECT
LEVEL OF MATH. UNIT LIBERAL ARTS
WHEN INFECTED COMPLETED HIGHER
LEVELS OF.
SO.
THE UNCONSCIOUS TRACKING OF
STUDENTS IS SOMETHING THAT CAN
BE VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE. WHILE
THIS INFORMATION OUT THERE. ONLY
CERTAIN STUDENTS GET IT.
LAKE ONLY SURGEONS ARE TOLD THAT
THEY CAN DO HONORS LIKE PATHWAY
ONLY SORENSTAM'S ARE TOLD THAT
THE CAN DETACH.
ONLY SINCE DESERT TOLD ABOUT
EIGHTY TEAS AND IT'S NOT THAT
IT'S AGAIN NOT MALICIOUS INTENT
BUT IT'S ASSUMPTION WE DON'T
WASTE YOUR TIME BECAUSE THAT'S
NOT FOR YOU.
THAT IS WHAT CREATES THESE THAT
IS ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT
CREATES THE ACADEMIC AREA
BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW YOU DON'T
KNOW. AND THE PERSON IS THE
GATEKEEPER WHETHER IT'S THE
CLASSIFIED STAFF THE COUNSELOR
OR YOUR TEACHER TELLS YOU THAT.
THEN YOU WILL STOP TO SEEK IT
OUT BE.
I AT WHAT WE ARE VERY DIVERSE
POPULATION WITH OVER TWO MILLION
STUDENTS MANY OF US ARE SIMPSON
IMPACTED STUDENTS ME IN THEM
MANY OF US HAVE SUFFERED.
SYSTEMATIC IMPRESSIONS OF
VARIOUS KINDS WHETHER IT'S
GENDER PERSONAL MISSION
IMMIGRANT ETCETERA
BUT THOSE BARRIERS CREATE
UNCONSCIOUS THOUGHTS OF. THIS IS
HOW FAR I CAN GO OR HER FIGHT OR
I'M ALLOWED TO TAKE UP SPACE.
AND I THINK PROFESSIONAL
BUILDING GOES A LONG WAY NOT
ONLY OF GETTING US UP TO CODE
WITH WHAT IS AVAILABLE BUT
MAKING SURE TRANSLATE THAT TO
EVERY STUDENT. NOT JUST I'M
CERTAIN ONES THAT USE REFLECTING
YOURSELF.
.
* FOR AYE GETS THE OR THE
TRANSFERRED PATHWAY THEIR VERY
LIMITED AND THE TIMES OFFERED
DON'T ALWAYS WORK FOR STUDENTS.
I HAVE AT.
IN THIS CLASS AND HAVE IT'S ONE
OF THE LAST WITH ANY TO TAKE
FROM EIGHTEEN. BUT FIVE UNIT
COURSES ON THE TEND TO BE MONDAY
WEDNESDAY FRIDAY. VISIT THURSDAY
FRIDAY.
AND THE FRIDAY CLASSES ONLY FOR
FIFTY MINUTES YOU GET THAT FULL
FIVE HOURS OF INSTRUCTION.
IF THERE IS I WOULD GLADLY COME
IN AT SEVEN THIRTY IN THE
MORNING HAVE BEFORE FOR CLASSES
IF I CAN HACK THE EXTRA BARRIER.
FORCES DISCOMFORT WITH FIFTY
MINUTES WHERE SUMMER TRANSITS
ARE IN OUR THROUGH TRAFFIC OR
THREE HOURS MEMBERS KIDS FOR
THAT ONE THING IT LIMITS THE
AMOUNT OF HOURS WE CAN WORK IT
LIMITS. ON THE AMOUNT OF
CLASSES%
BEGIN TAKE ETCETERA AND THIS I
THINK CAN ALSO WANT IT BECAUSE
THAT'S GOING TO CONSTRAIN OUR
SCHEDULES SO. THE LIMITED TIME
THAT THEY'RE OFFERED AND THE THE
WAY IN WHICH THAT ITS STRUCTURE
CURRENTLY.
.
THE THE OTHER ISSUE IS THAT.
WELL WE DO HAVE A COURSE CATALOG
THE TELLS YOU FOR THE YEAR. IT
DOESN'T TELL YOU WHAT'S SEMESTER
WILL BE OFFERED AND IF YOU MAKE
A MISTAKE AND YOU THINK WELL I
KNOW I NEED TO COMPLETE THESE
TWO DIFFERENT MATH AND SCIENCE
CLASSES BUT I'M GONNA PUT OUT
THIS OTHER MATH CLASS I KNOW IT
IN SPRING.
YOU AND AND SO THAT IS SOMETHING
THAT IS REALLY PROCLAIMS STAND
ON MID CYCLE RETIREMENTS THINGS
LIKE THAT BUT IT WHENEVER
POSSIBLE I THINK IT'S SOMETHING
THAT WE SHOULD MOVE TOWARDS
PLANNING ASSISTANCE COMPLAIN AT
A TIME. BECAUSE LIKE A PLAN TWO
YEARS OUT EXACTLY WHAT I NEED TO
DO WHAT I NEED TO DO IT. I WOULD
DEFINITELY STRANGE STRUCTURED MY
LIFE AROUND THAT TO TO GET DONE
AND THE COMPLETION.
.
THEY GET FULL VERY QUICKLY THERE
ARE SEVERAL.
.
FEDERAL.
PRETTY MUCH RESTRICTION TEARS
BUT OFTENTIMES IF THEY'RE ONLY
OFFERED ONCE OR TWICE A YEAR
THERE ARE ONLY OFFERED ONCE OR
TWICE A TERM TO GET FULL VERY
QUICKLY. I DID ACTUALLY DOING
ROLE IN THE FALL IN SF STATES I
KNOW THIS IS ALSO AN ISSUE WITH
YOUR CORE COURSES WERE
SOMETIMES.
I KNOW I'M GOING TO NEED THIS
ON.
THIS MASTER LEVEL WRITING CLASS
BUT THERE'S ONLY THIRTY SEATS
AND WE KNOW THAT THERE'S LIKE
THREE HUNDRED PEOPLE THIS MAJOR.
WELL THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG
WITH THAT THERE IS SOME KIND OF
CAP THERE IF WE KNOW THAT A KEY
COLLEGE HAS OVER A THOUSAND
STUDENTS FOR ANY PARTICULAR
STAMP PROGRAM BUT WERE ONLY
OFFERING THAT QUARTER. COURSE
ONE COURSE OF IT AND ONLY FOR UP
TO THIRTY PEOPLE.
THERE'S SOMETHING SOMETHING OFF
ABOUT THAT SO HAVING THOSE
COURSES WHO QUICKLY AND BE
LMITED. AND THEN.
ACCESSING ACADEMIC COUNSELORS.
RIGHT NOW. YOU ONLY ABOUT
FIFTEEN MINUTES WITH DRACULA
COMES ON IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT
SIX.
TO GET THAT UNLESS YOU HAVE THE
ABILITY AND THE LUXURY OF TIME
TO SIT AND WAIT FOR DROPPING
HOURS. AND BECAUSE OF THAT
OFTENTIMES THE MIGHT BE THROUGH
THE MISS THINGS I AM LUCKY THAT
I AM IN THE DISPLAY RESOURCE
CENTER FOR MY SCHOOL SO IS HE
SAID THE ECHO THE BILL
HAD CREEK REPORTS COMING OUT
ABOUT. THE SERIOUS ISSUE I KNOW
JUST FOR THE EARLY NINETIES
TRICK YOU HAVE TUDENTS THAT
SELF REPORTED SKIPPING AT LEAST
A THIRD OF THEM SKIPPING AT
LEAST ONE MEAL A DAY TO HELP
MAKE ENDS MEET. HOUSTON SLEEP IN
THEIR CARS AND I WAS TOO
INTERESTING LAST YEAR FOR MY
CAMPUS AND THERE'S A WOMAN IN
HER FORTIES WHO SAID THAT I MADE
THE CONSCIOUS CHOICES THAT MY
CAR FOR YEAR. AS AN IMMIGRANT
BECAUSE I KNEW OTHERWISE IT
WOULDN'T GET THROUGH THE THE
MATH SEQUENCE SO. I DON'T THINK
THAT WE SHOULD BE PUTTING THAT
BURDEN UPON STUDENTS. IN THAT
MANNER I THINK.
FINANCIAL AID IF THAT CAN BE
RAISE THE CURTAIN CAL GRANT ONLY
ABOUT FOUR PERCENT OF THREE
QUESTIONS ACCURACY THE CAL GRANT
BUT IT'S ONLY BEEN RECENT THREE
THOUSAND STUDENTS THERE WAS TALK
THIS YEAR. OF INCREASING THE
FULL TIME TO FIFTEEN UNITS WHICH
IS ABSURD IF YOU JUST ASK ANY
STUDENT TRYING TO THAT.
AND THE BASIS OF REASON THE CAP
TO FIFTY OR RAISING THE RATE
FIFTEEN YEARS FOR FULL TIME A
SPECIALIST IN MAJORS.
THE COST OF FOOD LIVING THE
LACK OF TRANSIT TRANSIT
INFRASTRUCTURE THE SEEMS LIKE
THINGS THEIR PERIPHERAL BUT IF
STUDENTS CAN ACCESS THEIR
SCHOOL.
THEY CAN THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO COMPLETE. MENTAL HEALTH
THERE'S NO MIDDLE CENTER FOR
MENTAL HEALTH IN THE.
CLEAN CUT SYSTEM WHATEVER WAS IN
PLACE IN THE MID SEVENTIES
THAT'S WHAT YOU HAD TO MAINTAIN
BERLIN THAT MAY SCHOOLS WILL
JUST CALL FIFTY ONE FIFTY ON
YOU.
AND ESPECIALLY FOR RETURNING
VETERANS ESPECIALLY FOR STUDENTS
FOR DEALING WITH ISSUES
IT PUSHES THEM FURTHER INTO THE
MENTAL BECAUSE IT MANY DROPPED
OUT WILL NOT RETURN. AND SO
MENTAL HEALTH.
THERE THERE'S ALSO STAYS OF
COMING SHOWN THE IMPACT OF
STUDENTS IN KEY CARD SYSTEM FROM
JUGGLING SO MUCH WITH THAT
PRESSURE TO COMPLETE IN TWO
YEARS.
REALISTICALLY UNLESS THERE IS A
REASON LIVING THE COST OF
LIVING.
IT'S GOING TO TAKE THREE YEARS
FOR SINCE COMPLETE EVEN GOING
FULL TIME AND FOR PART TIME IN
ACADEMIC SENATE FOR IT THE
COMMUTE CHRISTMAS STATE ASWELL.
THOSE WHO WORKING PART TIME FOR
YEARS IS A REALISTIC GOAL TO SET
BUT ANYTHING BELOW THAT. YOU ARE
AT YOU NEED TO HAVE AN
INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE TO
SUPPORT STUDENTS TO GO. THAT
FULL AMOUNT OF TIME SO. THOSE
ARE KIND OF THE THE MAJOR LIKE
BIRD BY BARRIERS AND AND
HURDLES.
FOR STUDENTS HALL.
VERY ARTICULATE COURTNEY AND.
AND SUBSTANTIVE AND EXPANSIVE.
NO DON'T BE SORRY I'M BECAUSE
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WANT TO
HEAR AND.
I I WILL SAY THIS THAT.
I DON'T KNOW IF HOW OFTEN THAT
THAT COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
GET TOGETHER WITH THE LEADERSHIP
IS THAT SAID EVERY MONTH OR TWO
ON YOU GUYS IT SO WE HAVE THE
STATE STRUCTURED CURRENTLY EN TO
TEN REGIONS AND SO EACH SCHOOL
IN THE REGION. THE SCHOOLS GOT
THEIR MONTHLY AND IN OUR
STATEWIDE ON BOARD OF DIRECTORS
MEETING WE HAVE THREE REPRESENT
US FROM EACH REGION. POSSESS
SEVEN EXECUTIVE BOARD AND WE
MEET ON ONCE A WEEK YOU SHOULD
PERCENT IN SACRAMENTO ELECTED.
ALL I WOULD AND THAT I AND MORE
IMPORTANTLY I I WOULD HOPE I
WOULD ASK THAT. I THAT
COLLECTIVELY IS YOU IDENTIFY
THESE ISSUES AND I KNOW THAT YOU
HAVEN'T.
BUT DE THAT THE MOMENT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE TRANSFER
ISSUE.
VERSUS THE WHOLE STUDENT ISSUES
YEAH ISSUE. BUT I KNEW THEY THEY
INTERRELATE BUT. YOU KNOW WE
WOULD BENEFIT FROM YOUR INSIGHT
AS WE JUST DID.
TODAY.
BUT TOO BAD BENEFIT FROM THE
COLLECTIVE WISDOM FROM ALL YOUR.
ABOUT LEADERSHIP ABOUT THESE
ISSUES AND I KNOW HOW GETS
TRANSMITTED TO US BUT. WHETHER
IT'S A WEEK WE SHOULD GET
TOGETHER WE SHOULD HAVE A
MEETING OR WILL WE SHOULD SEND
OUR STAFF TO YOURS.
I DO WANNA I THINK YOU BROUGHT
SUCH GREAT INSIGHT. TO THIS
CONVERSATION
IS MY POINT ADAM YOU KNOW YOU
TALK ABOUT HOW THE ALL THE BIRD
ALL THAT THE BARRIERS THAT YOU
OVERCAME AND IT SEEMS LIKE.
WHAT'S THE COMMON DENOMINATOR
THERE IT SEEMS LIKE IT WAS
TOUCHES.
THAT YOU TO SOMEBODY TOUCHED
YOU.
AND HELP YOU TO UNDERSTAND
COMPLEXITY AND THE LACK OF
TRANSPARENCY A LOT OF THESE
DIFFERENT PROGRAMS ISSUES AND.
AND BUT IT AND THAT TOUCH THAT
YOU WERE ABLE TO GET. THANK
GOODNESS.
I TOLD YOU THAT YOU BELONG TO
AND THAT YOU CAN SUCCEED AND
THAT.
.
THE.
THINGS ARE TOO COMPLEX AND AND
AND AND HERE'S SOMEONE WHO CAN
INTERPRET IT FOR YOU TALKED
ABOUT THE TAX CODE. BEGINNING OF
YOUR TESTIMONY AND THAT'S A GOOD
METAPHOR FOR IT.
BUT THESE ARE THINGS NOT OF US
ONE AND YET THEY'RE THEY'RE.
AND I THINK THAT THE FACULTY I
THINK SEE IT THE ADMINISTRATION
SEES IT THAT. THEY KNOW THEY
WANT BETTER TECHNOLOGY THEY WANT
MORE RESOURCES FOR. FOR
COUNSELORS IN ACADEMIC ADVISORS
AND FULL TIME FACULTY WHICH YOU
USE YOU SPOKE ABOUT.
AND THESE ARE ALL CHALLENGES FOR
ALL OF US DIFFICULT TO FIGURE
OUT BUT IT DOES GO BACK TO THE
TOUCHES AND.
AND AND I KNOW THAT'S IMPORTANT
WE KNOW THAT SUPPORT IN LIFE IN
SO MANY WAYS IT'S WHICH IS WHY
WE WAS PROMOTED MENTORSHIP.
AS SOMEONE WHO CAN HELP YOU AND
BE THERE FOR YOU.
BUT WE DO NEED OUR SYSTEMS TO BE
SIMPLER AND MORE UNDERSTAND. WE
CAN'T LET THAT BE AN EXCUSE FOR
NOT HAVING THE TECHNOLOGY THERE.
ARE NOT HAVING THE CLARITY THE
CATALOG YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO OPEN UP THE CATALOG. AND
HAVE IT SAY HERE'S THE TEN
THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW. ABOUT
HOW TO SUCCEED IN COMMUNITY
COLLEGES.
AND IT SHOULDN'T BE TO TO LOOK
THROUGH THE FINE PRINT AND TRY
TO. YOU KNOW WITH THE I HAVE MY
GLASSES I CAN READ THIS. WHETHER
YOU KNOW IT COURSE IS THE AYE
TRANSFERABLE COARSER
NONTRANSFERABLE COURSE IT'S
GOTTA BE SIMPLER.
BECAUSE.
I MEAN THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT
WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS.
AND WE SEE IT IN THE NUMBERS OF
THAT THAT THAT THAT THAT NUMBER
OF KIDS THEY'RE TRANSFERRING
WITH.
WITHOUT HAVING TO TO HAVE WASTED
UNITS AND TO BE ON A GOOD TRACK
AND TO GET THEIR FOUR YEAR
DEGREE IF THAT'S WHAT THEY WANT.
SO WE SEEN THE POSITIVE THE WERE
ALSO SEEN WHERE THERE'S A LOT OF
GAPS AND YOU'VE IDENTIFIED A LOT
OF THEM.
I AND YOUR TESTIMONY AND.
AND THAT THAT REALLY IS THAT THE
WORRY FOR ALL OF US IS THAT WE
WE ARE MAKING GOOD PROGRESS BUT
WE ALSO KNOW THAT. A LOT OF KIDS
THAT DIDN'T HAVE WHAT YOU HAD TO
GET OVER THOSE BARRIERS ARE
BEING LEFT BEHIND.
AND THAT'S THE AND IT'S NOT JUST
A FEW.
THOUSANDS
THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS.
I WANNA GET I KNOW WE HAVE TO
WRAP UP HERE BUT I WANT SENATOR
ALLEN OF THE UP WILL YA I I I
JUST HAVE TO I CAN'T AGREE WITH
YOU MORE CENTER I MEAN THAT
THERE'S. THERE'S PROGRESS BEING
MADE ALMOST IN SPITE OF THIS
MATTINGLY. A COMPLEX
BUREAUCRATIC SYSTEM THAT WE SET
UP THAT IS HARD ENOUGH FOR US TO
UNDERSTAND.
.
WITH SEVERAL HOURS OF INTENSE.
INVESTIGATION HERE THE SENATE
COMMITTEE LET ALONE FOR A
STUDENT WHO'S COMING TO THE
SYSTEM.
NO WITH.
WITH WITH ALSO THE
DISADVANTAGES.
AND IT DE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
HEARING EVERYTHING OUT WE YOU
KNOW WE REALLY NEED SOME SORT OF
TRANSFERS ARE AND I THINK WE'VE
FOUND. FOUND OUR FUTURE TEST.
HERE WITH COURTNEY SO I'M WHEN
HE'S DONE WITH YOUR TO CREATE A.
CONSUMER YEARS HOPE ARE AS YOU
GO. THROUGH THE I MEAN I REALLY
YOU THINK THE GOVERNOR MADE A
DECISION TO AND THAT WERE TO SEE
PACKED GO A LITTLE WHILE BACK.
.
WHICH YOU KNOW WAS WAS.
AND IN PERFECT.
THE INSTITUTION I SUPPOSE BUT
NOT NOT VERY HIGH COSTS IN THE
GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS IN TERMS
OF.
OF AS A CORD NEEDING.
VEHICLE FOR THAT THE VARIOUS
INSTITUTIONS.
ANDAND YOU KNOW I KNOW THAT
THE SENATE LASER AND OTHERS ARE
WORKING ON DATA AND AND AND
OTHER THINGS THAT CAN HELP TO.
CREATE MORE CONVERSATION A MORE
COORDINATION BETWEEN THE SYSTEMS
THAT ADDRESS REAL PROBLEMS LIKE
THE ONE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
TODAY IS PART OF WHY I'M I'M
INNOCENT THESE YESTERDAY ABOUT
THE SELECT COMMITTEE ITS LEADING
A DEEP DIVE INTO THESE KINDS OF.
INSTITUTIONAL.
ROAD BLOCKS AND AND AND JUST
INEFFICIENCIES THAT WE SEEM TO
HAVE BUILT AND THAT ARE THAT
ARE.
EITHER PERHAPS.
ALLOW FOR SOME DEGREE SUCCESS
BUT ALMOST IN SPITE OF THE
DEMOCRACY THAT WE CREATED SO.
AND.
I AM I I I I'M GLAD WE'RE HAVING
THESE CONVERSATIONS I THINK
KNOWS IN THE ONUS IS ON I STILL
WORK TOGETHER TO TRY AS YOU WE
CAN DO A STRUCTURALLY TO HELP.
CREATE A MORE.
BETTER FUNCTIONING SYSTEM IN AND
TURN.
HOW WE A LOT OF WORK ON ON OUR
THEIR PLATES AND AND AND I I
REALLY DO THINK DID THAT THAT WE
NEED TO?
REYES THREE.
THE THE CHALLENGES OLYMPIC
HIGHER INTO THE RADAR SCREEN OF
THE GOVERNOR OF THE
GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATES AT THE
LEGISLATIVE LEADERSHIP THE
BUDGET PROCESS THROUGH THE
POLICY PROCESS.
YEAH NO I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT
SENATOR ALLEN I THINK THAT'S
PART OF THE CHALLENGE THAT WE
FACE IS WE HAVE THIS.
INTO RESOURCE PIE THAT. GETS
DIVIDED UP IN DIFFERENT WAYS IN.
AND. YOU KNOW WE KNOW THAT AND I
CERTAINLY KNOW THAT HAVE ALL
THIS THAT FUNCTIONS OF STATE
GOVERNMENT. THAT ARE HIGHER
EDUCATION SYSTEM HAS REALLY BEEN
GIVEN THIS THE SHORTEST AND THAT
THE STICK FOR THE LAST.
MANY YEARS AND I AND ALSO KNOW
WHY BECAUSE THERE'S DISCRETION.
IN THE END I HAVE BEEN WHAT YOU
DO EACH YEAR AND ALLOCATING
FUNDS.
AND I I DO SEE THAT SOME OF THE
BENEFITS OF SOME OF THE
TARGETING THAT'S BEEN DONE OVER
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS AND.
THAT IT WAS DISCUSSED UC SYSTEM
IN TERMS OF THE TRANSFERS.
AND AND TRYING TO ENCOURAGE
MORE TRANSFERS BUT.
BUT WE HAVE THAT SAME DILEMMA
AGAIN THIS YEAR.
GUITAR.
AND THIS IS SURPRISING THIS IS
AN ISSUE WITH THE GOVERNOR BOTH
THE UC AND THE CSU. HAVE.
MAYBE BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN
BEATEN DOWN SO MUCH SAID WELL WE
JUST WANT MONEY FOR A ONE
PERCENT. ONE PERCENT INCREASE
ENROLLMENT.
AND YET IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S A
BIG FIRE HOSE AYE THROUGH FOR
THE FOURTEEN FORTY PROCESS
WHERE.
IT WILL HAVE THE STUDENTS THERE
NOW DONE EVERYTHING RIGHT
THEY'VE GONE TO THE LOWER COST
ALTERNATIVE TO THE STATE. ALSO
TO THEM BY GOING TO THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
THEY FIGURED OUT THE MAZE OF
FIVE. OUT OF FIVE. COMPLEXITY ON
HOW TO TRANSFER ALL SUFFICIENTLY
TO A CSU ARE YOU SEE.
ALTHOUGH THE UC TAX SYSTEM
STILL IS NOT FULLY.
UNDERSTOOD IN MY HEAD.
AS TO HOW IT WORKS CONFERENCE
BELIEVE IT. AND THEN.
.
THEY APPLY FOR THE TRANSFER AND
THEN THEY DON'T GET EXCEPT.
THOUSANDS OF THEM AND THAT CYCLE
THAT. THAT DOESN'T MAKE A LOT OF
SENSE.
AND SO WE HAVE TO WORK ON IT
FROM THE BUDGET PROCESS AND I'M
GLAD SENATOR PORTANTINO IS HERE
TO OUR.
TO UNDERSTAND THAT BETTER
EARLIER IN THE HEARING.
I'D IS STAFF I'M SURE WATCHING
TO. TAKE GOOD NOTES FOR HAVE
THIS WE ARE AS WE CONCLUDE BUT I
THINK ALL OF YOU FOR COMING AND
SHARING YOUR WISDOM. AND YOUR
INSIGHT AT AT AND WE AS I SAID
EARLIER IT'S A CONTINUING
CONVERSATION. BUT WE WE HAVE TO
KEEP WORKING AT IT WE HAVE TO.
AND WE HAVE TO BE IN PATIENTS I
HATE TO SEE. YOU GUYS ARE ALL
SMART PEOPLE AND YOU DO GOOD
WORK BUT. I'D LOVE TO SEE A
LITTLE LESS PATIENCE.
BECAUSE THAT FOURTEEN FORTY WAS
PASSED IN TWO THOUSAND TEN.
AND.
AND WE HAD A LOT OF GOOD WORK
BY THE FACULTY BY THE
ADMINISTRATION.
TO GET US TO A BETTER PLACE FOR
OUR STUDENTS BUT YET. THERE'S
BIG GAPS OUT THERE AND WE HAVE
TO DO WE HAVE TO DO BETTER I
KNOW YOU'RE ALL COMMITTED TO
THAT. EVERYBODY THAT'S THAT WAS
HERE EARLIER. I DO WANT TO MAKE
SURE FROM A PROCEDURAL POINT OF
VIEW THAT I OPEN THIS UP FOR
PUBLIC HEARING AS WE ARE
REQUIRED. AND WE COURSE WOULD
LOVE TO DO WHAT IS THERE ANYONE
HERE THAT WOULD LIKE TO PROVIDE
ANY PUBLIC TESTIMONY BEFORE WE
CONCLUDE.
OKAY COMPLY THANK YOU FOR BEING
HERE I THINK ALL THOSE FOR
WATCHING AND LISTENING.
I WE'RE FOCUSED ON THIS VERY
IMPORTANT ISSUE. AND I I
CERTAINLY OF I'M LEFT WITH SOME
POSITIVE FEELINGS IN THAT A LOT
OF A LOT MORE QUESTIONS. ABOUT
THAT I MAY CONTINUE TO ASK OVER
THE COURSE OF THE. OF THE COMING
MONTHS I I WANNA THANK YEAH.

HEARING TOGETHER.
