I WILL START AS SOON AS WE GET
ANOTHER MEMBER HERE BUT.
I GUESS JUST FOR YOU COMING UP.
WHERE STEAM HEY?
THANK YOU.
THIS IS AWESOME
ALL RIGHT WE ARE GOING TO.
BRING THE.
BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE ONE TO
ORDER. AND.
WE ARE GOING TO GO RIGHT INTO
OUR FIRST PANEL. ON.
HASTINGS AND WE DO HAVE A
DISTINGUISHED PANEL HERE AND NOW
IF YOU COULD INTRODUCE
YOURSELVES AND FIGURE OUT YOUR.
SPEAKING ORDER WILL GO RIGHT
INTO TESTIMONY.
A GOOD MORNING TEXT WILL PROVIDE
FINANCE ARE THANK YOU FOR GIVING
ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS
YOU SEE THINGS BECAUSE OF LAWS
BUDGET WITH YOU THIS MORNING. I
USE THESE THINGS IS AFFILIATED
WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA SYSTEM. BUT IS
GOVERNED BY ITS OWN BOARD OF
GOVERNORS LOCATED IN SAN
FRANCISCO IF AMERICA PRIMARILY
SERVE STUDENTS SEEKING A JURIS
DOCTOR DEGREE BUT ALSO AS A
MASTER OF LOSS PROGRAM AND A
MASTERS OF STUDY. HAMAS PROGRAM.
I ENJOY SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN
HASTINGS AND ROLLED NINE HUNDRED
TO TWO FULL TIME EQUIVALENT
STUDENTS OF THESE NINE HUNDRED
NINETEEN WERE GT STUDENTS.
ANNUAL TUITION FOR STRESS DOCTOR
PROGRAM. THIS YEAR IS FORTY FOUR
THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED EIGHTEEN
DOLLARS. IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN UC HASTINGS TOTAL
BUDGET FUNDED PRIMARILY BY THE
GENERAL FUND AND TUITION AND
FEES. IS EIGHTY ONE POINT TWO
MILLION DOLLARS I WITH IMAGINE
FINDING A TWELVE POINT SEVEN.
MILLION IN TWENTY THREE WHO.
OF THE LAW SCHOOLS A BUDGET
CONDITION THAT WAS A TOPIC OF
INTEREST LAST YEAR. ON AS YOU
MAY RECALL IN RECENT YEARS
SPENDING AT HASTINGS HAS BEEN
ARE HIGHER THAN THE FUNDING IT
RECEIVES EACH YEAR RESULTING IN
A DEFICIT AND IT'S A CORE BUDGET.
ON IT'S BEEN FINDING THAT
DEFICIT OUT OF.
RESERVES THAT IT BUDGET BUDGET
RESERVES IT KEEPS AT THE LAW
SCHOOL. ON. THE.
KEY OF FACTOR BEHIND THAT
DEFICIT WAS THE OF WAS DECISION
FROM THE SCHOOL A FEW YEARS AGO
TO INCREASE. TUITION DISCOUNTING.
FOR STUDENTS OF THE REASON FOR
THIS TUITION DISCOUNTING WAS
PART OF A BROADER EFFORT ON THE
SCHOOL TOO AT THE SCHOOL REPORTS
IT AS PART OF A BROADER EFFORT
TO.
COMPETE WITH LAW SCHOOLS AROUND
THE COUNTRY TO ATTRACT.
HIGHER AS STUDENTS OF A HIGHER
ACADEMIC RECORD ON A TO ATTEND
THE SCHOOL.
.
AS OF.
APOLOGIZE.
BEGINNING IN EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
OF THE SCHOOL IS A. OF STARTING
TO KIND OF REVERSED COURSE ON
THIS.
.
ON THIS PRACTICE AND BY WHO ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED AT
THE SCHOOL I KIND OF RETAIN
THEIR EXISTING TO A FINANCIAL
AID PACKAGES SO. THE PHYSICAL
EFFECT OF THAT ON DECISION WILL
BE KIND OF EXPERIENCED OVER A
FEW YEARS.
AS YOU MAY RECALL HE STINGS HAS
DEVELOPED A FERVENT MULTI YEAR
PLAN TO ELIMINATE ITS DEFICITS
ARM AND WE DISCUSSED THAT IN
THIS COMMITTEE LAST YEAR BUT
THEY PROVIDED AN UPDATE TO THAT
A PLAN.
IN JANUARY.
AND UNDER THAT PLAN HASTINGS OF
PROJECTED IT WOULD ELIMINATE ITS
DEFICIT BASICALLY BY TWENTY
TWENTY TWENTY ONE DAYS IN THAT
YOU'RE THEY STILL HAVE A REALLY
SMALL DEFICIT AND THEN IT WOULD
BE ELIMINATED FULLY AND TWENTY
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO.
A KEY PART OF THAT PLAN WOULD
BE TO START INCREASING TUITION
IN FUTURE YEARS. ARM AND IN OUR
ANALYSIS WE NOTED THAT THE
TUITION INCREASES THAT YOU THAT
HE SINGS WAS CONSIDERING WERE.
SOMEWHAT ON STEEP.
IN BEGINNING IN TWENTY NINETEEN
TWENTY TUITION TO RISE TEN
PERCENT FOLLOWED BY EIGHT
PERCENT IN THE FOLLOWING YEAR
AND FIVE PERCENT IN THE YEAR
AFTER THAT.
SINCE THAT AND SINCE THAT TIME
HASTINGS HAS DEVELOPED A KIND OF
PROVIDED AN UPDATED ON MULTI
YEAR PLAN THAT SORT OF TRY TO
LOOK AT. HOW WE COULD ELIMINATE
ITS DEFICIT?
WITH MORE GRADUAL TUITION
INCREASES SO BEGINNING IN
NINETEEN TWENTY HASTINGS A SORT
OF LOOKED AT WHAT THE EFFECT OF
A SORT OF FUN ANNUAL INCREASE IN
FIVE PERCENT TUITION WOULD BE.
AND HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT ITS
BUDGETS HOMAGE. UP UPDATED A FEW
OTHER THINGS AS WELL SUCH AS A
LOT LOWER COST INCREASES AND IS
ALSO PLANNING TO INCREASE
ENROLLMENT IN ITS. SELF
SUPPORTING A MASTER'S PROGRAMS
EMINEM'S ALL RESULTS OF THAT
PLAN AND HE SINGS ANTICIPATES
THAT OCCURRED ELIMINATES DEFICIT
WOULD TAKE AN ADDITIONAL YEARS
OF A DEFICIT WOULD BE PRETTY
MUCH ELIMINATED IN TWENTY TWENTY
ONE TWENTY TWO.
BECAUSE YOU LIKELY SPIN OFF A
FACE DECISIONS IN THERE IN THE
FUTURE YEARS REGARDING TUITION
INCREASES AND.
FEET APPROPRIATIONS AND OUT OF
FACTOR OF THOSE DECISIONS WILL
INVOLVE A HAITIANS BUDGET
CONDITION AND DEFICIT RECOMMEND
THAT YOU.
TAKE THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
EXPLORE WITH HASTINGS IT'S A
LONG TERM PLAN AND ENSURE THAT
YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH. SOME OF
THE.
DECISIONS IT FIT IT FOR PLANS
ON MAKING THIS IS JUST SORT OF
ABOVE.
OBTAINING DOCUMENTS SO YOU KNOW
NOTHING SET IN STONE YOU KNOW
THINGS COULD CHANGE IN THERE
SOME UNCERTAINTIES BUT WE THINK
IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU
TO. ENSURE KIND OF THAT THOSE
SORT OF.
PATH THAT HE SINGS ON IT IT'S
FOR YOUR COMFORTABLE WITH ANSWER
MEETS YOUR.
PRIORITIES FOR THE SCHOOL OFTEN
IN THE. COMING FEW YEARS. ONE
OTHER THING I JUST WANTED TO
NOTE VERY QUICKLY ON WE DID
RECEIVE OTHER SORT OF BUDGET
UPDATES FROM THE SCHOOL SINCE
OUR JANUARY NOW SAYS. SO ON PAGE
THREE OF YOUR AGENDA. ON IT
THERE'S A TABLE THAT SUMMARIZES
A SPENDING INCREASES AND THAT
KIND OF.
SUMMARIZE SUMS TO ABOUT ONE
POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS OTHER
SCHOOL PROVIDED AN UPDATE THEY
NOW THINK IT'LL BE ABOUT ONE
POINT THREE MILLION DOLLARS ON
MOST OF THAT INCREASE IS. DUE TO.
EIGHTY FIVE PERCENT OR YOU COULD SEE ALL.
HE SINGS.
IS I THINK EXCEPTIONALLY WELL
SITUATED TODAY.
TO REALLY THAT'S ITSELF.
NATIONALLY.
AND WE. HAVE AN INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITY OVER THE NEXT FIVE
TO TEN YEARS.
TO EXPAND OUR FOOTPRINT TO
DEVELOP CORPORATIONS AND
PARTNERSHIPS WITH OTHER
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
CAMPUSES.
AND I'LL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT
DETAIL ON ON THOSE OPPORTUNITIES
AS WELL AS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
OUR A LOCATION SAN FRANCISCO.
OUT A PARTNER WITH. THE BUSINESS
COMMUNITY AND PART OF THE TECH
COMMUNITY. AS WE REALLY SEE
CHANGES IN THE PRACTICE OF LAW.
LAW IS INCREASINGLY BECOMING
DIGITAL ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
MACHINE LEARNING.
IS INCREASINGLY FINDING ITS WAY
INTO LEGAL PROCESSES.
AND WE REALLY HAVE TO PREPARE
THE NEXT GENERATION TO DEAL WITH
THAT AND KNOW WHERE IS BETTER
SITUATED.
TO DEAL WITH THE NEXT
GENERATION OF SMART MACHINES ARE
THEN I HASTINGS IS IN SAN
FRANCISCO. HASTENS OF COURSE AS
YOU KNOW TURNS A HUNDRED FORTY
THIS YEAR WE WERE FOUNDED IN.
EIGHTEEN SEVENTY EIGHT UNIVERSE
CALIFORNIA WAS FOUNDED IN
EIGHTEEN SIXTY EIGHT FOR THE
TURN OUT ONE HUNDRED FIFTY OCEAN WHICH OF IN EDUCATION RESEARCH AND
CLINICAL SERVICE.
WE HAVE A.
DEGREE PROGRAM THAT WE JOINTLY
CONFIRM A CALL THE HEALTH POLICY
IN WALL PROGRAM WITH UCF US TO
GRADUATE TO THE H. P. O. PROGRAM.
GET A DEGREE A MASTERS IN
SCIENCE FROM BOTH UCSF AND FROM
HASTINGS AT THE SAME TIME. WE
ALSO RUNNING A ARE YOU SEE YOU
SEE DAVIS IS RUNNING A PROGRAM
OTHER GRADUATE SCHOOL OF
MANAGEMENT ON OUR CAMPUS
EXECUTIVE PROGRAM IN BIG BIG
DATA ANALYTICS.
WHICH OUR STUDENTS ARE ALSO
ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A UCLA
HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN OUR START
UP WE WILL LEGAL GARAGE. BY THE
START OF LEGAL GARAGE IS A
PROGRAM WHERE STUDENTS CAN WORK
WITH LOCAL AREA ATTORNEYS TO
REPRESENT EARLY STAGE START UP
COMPANIES.
AND THE TEAM THAT ARE YOU SAY
LATER FROM NEW CAN I HAS BEEN A
VERY BIG SUPPORTER OF THAT
PROGRAM AND HER STUDENTS NOW.
BASICALLY SKYPE IN HIGH TO THE
START OF WITH A GARAGE AT
HASTINGS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REALLY BUILD THOSE PARTNERSHIPS.
IS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY A
NUMBER OF UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA CAMPUSES WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE A SUM UP HIS POSITION IN
THE SAN FRANCISCO BUILDING WILL BE AT THE END OF EIGHTEEN WE WILL BEGIN CLASSES IN THE
NEW ACADEMIC BUILDING IN JANUARY
TWENTY TWENTY.
THAT WILL ALLOW US TO THEN I
DEMOLISH OLD ACADEMIC BUILDING
AT ONE NINETY EIGHT MCALLISTER.
AND AS YOU KNOW WE WILL BE
BUILDING A HUNDRED FORTY FOOT
STRUCTURE THERE AROUND THIRTEEN
STORIES. THAT WILL BE SOME
REPLACEMENT ACADEMIC SPACE IT'LL
BE A UNIVERSITY YMCA
PARTNERSHIPS WILL HAVE A FULL
YMCA.
IN OUR FACILITY AND THEN WE'LL
HAVE ABOUT TWELVE STORIES OF.
SUBSIDIZE STUDENT HOUSING THAT
WE ARE AIMING FOR ABOUT FORTY
PERCENT OF MARKET. TO SUPPORT
NOT ONLY ARE STUDENTS.
BUT WE HAVE A A SIGNED LETTER
OF INTENT WITH UCS STUFF. THAT
THEY WOULD SUPPLY ABOUT FORTY
PERCENT OF. THE STUDENTS TO THAT
WE WERE THEN EMPTY OUT ARE
TWENTY SEVEN STORY HOUSING
STRUCTURE. RENOVATE THAT
BUILDING.
AND THEN.
WE WILL MOVE FROM IT BEING A
HOUSE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY
STUDENTS ON CAMPUS.
THE VIDEO THE HOUSE OVER A
THOUSAND STUDENTS ON OUR CAMPUS
AND THAT WILL BE SHARED ABOUT
FORTY SIXTY WITH UCSF A AS YOU
KNOW OF COURSE IS A GREAT NEED
FOR HOUSING IN SAN FRANCISCO. TO
NOT ONLY WITH THIS PROVIDE
SUBSIDIZED HOUSING FOR BOTH PCS
OFF AND YOU SEE THESE THINGS.
BUT ALSO PROVIDE. SOME RELIEF
FOR THE NEIGHBORHOODS
RESIDENTIAL AREAS AROUND SAN
FRANCISCO AS THE SOMEWHAT
TRANSIENT COMMUNITY OF STUDENTS
ON A TRAIN IS.
ARE NOT PUTTING AS MUCH
PRESSURE ON ON THE LOCAL MARKET.
WE ALSO EXTREMELY EXCITED ABOUT.
REACHING OUT IN A DIFFERENT WAY
IS TO HELP DIVERSIFY AND FURTHER
DIVERSIFY OUR CLASS HAS YOU KNOW
OF COURSE WE HAVE A VERY
HISTORIC AND POSITIVE PROGRAM.
CALL THE LEGAL EDUCATION
OPPORTUNITY PROGRAM.
WHICH IDENTIFIES THOSE WHO ARE
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS WHO HAVE
OVERCOME DISADVANTAGE WE TARGET
ABOUT TWENTY PERCENT OF OUR
CLASS OF FOUR. WE OUT STUDENTS.
WE ARE. WE UP TURNS FIFTY THIS
YEAR AND SO THE THE THE CLASS
THAT JUST STARTED THIS YEAR I
TURNED FIFTY. A WE ARE ALSO
WORKING ON A NUMBER OF PIPELINES.
ALTHOUGH SAN DIEGO LOS ANGELES

AS MANY LAWYERS AS THEY NEED.
AS YOU UNDOUBTEDLY KNOW THERE'S
A JUSTICE GOT. IN THE US CENTRAL
VALLEY IN THE INLAND EMPIRE.

THE OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED
FINALLY I'LL ADDRESS THE TUITION
DISCOUNTING.
WE DID ADOPT A FAIRLY
AGGRESSIVE TO SHOULD TUITION
DISCOUNTING OVER TIME.
THAT WAS DEVELOPED. MAINLY
BECAUSE OF OUR SCHOOLS DOING
EXACTLY THE SAME THING OF IN
ORDER TO COMPETE FOR A.
LOWERING LESSENING MEMBER IN
THE APPLICATION POOL TO LAW

DO THAT TO ATTRACT.
QUALIFIED STUDENTS TO HASTINGS.

HASTINGS GRADUATES AT MICROSOFT

MY SON WHILE WORKS AT NEXT DOOR.
SO WE'RE REACHING OUT TO ALL
THOSE COMPANIES MANY OF WHOM ARE
WITHIN A BLOCK OF OUR CAMPUS.
READ PLUGS WHEN OCCURRED YOU
THANK YOU I WILL GIVE YOU A
THUMBS UP AND A BOY. FROM YOUR
YOUR CAMPUS IS INVOLVED IN THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
RETIREMENT PLAN. SO MISTER
STEWART EVERYTHING'S GOING FINE.
WE ARE ABOUT TO POST ON OUR
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THE IMPACT
OF A RETIREE HEALTH CARE OF TWO
YEARS AGO AS PART OF THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF GAS WITH SIXTY
EIGHT. WE A RECOGNIZED ON THE
FINANCIAL SCHEDULES THE UNFUNDED
LIABILITY SOCIALLY WITH CORE
RETIREMENT.
OF THE NEWBIE AS WE
PRONOUNCEMENT REQUIRES US TO DO
LIKEWISE FOR OUR RETIREE HEALTH
CARE AND IT IS A SUBSTANTIAL SUM.
DO YOU WANT TO DISCLOSE THAT
TODAY OF FORTY MILLION DOLLARS A
UC HASTINGS APPORTIONMENT. OF
THE OVERALL UNFUNDED LIABILITY
OF THE UC SYSTEM. A WE ARE FULLY
EMBEDDED. IN UC RETIREMENT AND
HEALTH AND WELFARE PROGRAMS.
WE.
HEY ARE APPORTIONMENT OF.
RETIREE OF CONTRIBUTIONS.
CURRENTLY THE I WOULD
CHARACTERIZE THE RETIREE
HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS LARGELY
BEING UNDER FUNDED THE PAGE YOU
GO SYSTEM THERE'S A VERY MINIMAL.
LEVELS OF PRE FUNDING I WOULD
EVEN CALL IT SIGNIFICANT.
SO THESE ARE UP OBLIGATIONS AND
ISSUES THAT WOULD BE ADDRESSED.
OF THE.
ARGUABLY THE.
RETIREE HEALTHCARE IS NOT A
VESTED BENEFIT IN THE UC SYSTEM.
I THINK THAT DIFFERS FROM HOUSE
TREATED AND PURRS.
BUT.
DEAL CLEARLY A LARGE NUMBER IS
GOING TO HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH
EITHER ON THE COST SIDE. OR ON
THE DEBT ADDED OF EMPLOYEE
EMPLOYEE EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS
AND WHICH RUN FROM A LIABILITY
ON THE PENSION YOU KNOW. WHAT'S
THE RIGHT NUMBER SO NUMBER IS
VERY SENSITIVE TO.
THE DISCOUNT RATE AND BEST
RETURNS.
AS OF JUNE THIRTY TWENTY
SEVENTEEN IT WAS ROUGHLY TWENTY
SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS.
SO. ARE YOU SHOULD HEAR THE.
THE RETIREE MEDICAL.
LIABILITY FOR THE UC SYSTEM IS.
IT'S STAGGERING I MET WITH.
SO I GAVE BIRTH TO AN END.
FAILURE WHAT I SAY FAILURE.
.
AND ENGINE FOR ME THIS WEEK THAT
THEY OFTEN A LIABILITY FOR THE
UC SYSTEM IS EIGHTEEN BILLION
DOLLARS.
I'D I DON'T DOUBT IT ONE BIT THE
UNFUNDED LIABILITY FOR RETIREES
RETIRE RECORD TERM IS MUCH LOWER
NUMBER. BUT OF THAT EIGHTEEN
BILLION SOUNDS THE GIVEN THE
SIZE OF OUR PORTION WHICH IS
ROUGHLY ONE PERCENT OF YOU SEES
A COVERED PERIL. SO IT'S LIKE
THE ICEBERG DATA HAD KIND OF A.
DID YOU YOU HAVE NOTHING SET
ASIDE WELL EITHER RETIREE
MEDICAL YOU SO IT'S IT'S PAGE
YOU GO AS YOU GO AND IT IS A
CONDITION THAT IS SADLY
REPLICATED THROUGHOUT THE PUBLIC
SECTOR. IN THE US IN CALIFORNIA
AND PROBABLY NATIONALLY.
SO I'VE BEEN TRYING TO ENCOURAGE
UC AND CSU TO GIVE ME A TEN YEAR
PLAN AND THEY ARE VERY RETICENT.
THEY'RE AFRAID BECAUSE WHILE
WORKERS USING ASSUMPTIONS.
THAT MIGHT INDICATE TO SOMEBODY
THAT THEY'RE GONNA GET A PAY
RAISE A CERTAIN PERCENT OR
WHATEVER SO THERE'S A REAL FEAR.
BUT IT SEEMS TO ME. THAT A TEN
YEAR PROJECTION CAN BE BASED OFF
OF THE PRIOR TEN YEARS AND YOU
CAN DO A TREND ANALYSIS. LET US
KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING. BECAUSE
SOMEWHERE ALONG THE WAY YOU'RE
GONNA BE FUNDING THE PENSION AND
YOU'RE GONNA REFINING THE
RETIREE MEDICAL AND.
ALL THE REST AND SO.
HOW DO WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE
UP THE GAP BECAUSE MAYBE JUST ON
THE PLANNING TOO MUCH BUT JUST
RAISING TUITION AND? GOING TO
THE STATE MAY NOT CUT IT.
SO I AM ENCOURAGING YOU TO WORK
ON THAT TALENT.
WELL I I I JUST STRONGLY WE
EMBRACE MULTI YEAR BUDGET
PLANNING WE WOULD NOT. BE IN THE.
THE ONLY GOOD CONDITION WERE AN
ABSENT MULTIYEAR BUDGET PLANNING
BOTH APPLE AND OPERATING SIDE.
THE.
FELONS WITH RETIREE HEALTH CARE
IS IS SIMPLY THE MAGNITUDE OF
THE NUMBER AND THE.
.
THE SHORTAGE OF OF. VIABLE
OPTIONS TO ADDRESS A NUMBER OF
THAT MAGNITUDE.
AND I I CONFESS I DO NOT HAVE A
SOLUTION TO EITHER HASTINGS OF
PROBLEM AREA.
IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE IT BECOMING
A FUNDED.
PROGRAM.
AND SO I THINK IT BECOMES A
BURDEN GOING FORWARD ON YOU KNOW
ALL PUBLIC SECTOR OPERATIONS
HASTINGS INCLUDED WE HAVE A
CALLER CROWDING OUT. AND SO IF
YOU IF I COULD CHALLENGER TO
GIVE ME A TEN YEAR PLAN.
STRATEGIC FINANCIAL PLANNER WERE
HASTINGS IS GOING.
YOU KNOW WITH SOME BALLOT
ASSUMPTIONS OF LET'S SEE WHAT IT
LOOKS LIKE I WILL RISE TO THAT
OCCASION BECAUSE I REALLY DO
BELIEVE IN THAT TYPE OF OF
PLANNING HORIZON AND BUT THERE
ARE VALID CONCERNS.
A WE USE OF ASSUMPTIONS ON
EMPLOYEE COMPENSATION OF THOSE
BECOME THE FLOOR OF UNION
NEGOTIATIONS BECAUSE THESE ARE
ALL PUBLIC SECTOR DROP PUBLICLY
DISCOVERABLE DOCUMENTS.
THAT IS A PROBLEM AND THE
PEOPLE DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND
THAT A PLANNING ASSUMPTIONIS
THAT THE SAME THING AS A
BEGINNING BARGAINING POSITION
TRACK. THAT'S THAT'S THE
DOWNSIDE TO TRANSPARENCY BUT WE
ARE VERY TRANSPARENT
ORGANIZATION AND THAT WE PRIDE
OURSELVES ON IT. SO I I WENT
THROUGH A BANKRUPTCY.
IN A RECOVERY. AND SO STRATEGIC
TEN YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN WAS LIKE
THE NORM.
SO WE COULD.
LOOK OUT ON THE HORIZON WE COULD
DO. SO I'M.
BE DONE IN AND THE UNIONS
UNDERSTOOD IT WAS. JUST A
PLANNING DOCUMENT NOTHING ELSE
BECAUSE THE THE VARIABLES ARE TO.
THEIR INFINITE.
ABSOLUTELY AND SUSPENSION ON
ASSUMPTION BUT THEY'RE SAYING
THAT IS THIS STILL A VALUABLE
EXERCISE LIKE A TOTALLY CONCUR
WHERE YOU'VE GOT A PRETTY STRONG
DEAN SO HE'LL. PROBABLY YOU
COULD. HELP I I AM CURIOUS OF
ABOUT TWO MORE THINGS MISTER
CHAIR THE THE FIRST IS IS.
THE RECRUITMENT EFFORT FLAT THAT.
YOU'VE GOT TO THE TEACHERS
HELPING YOU WITH. OTHER WHICH
RUN PAGE FIVE. HOURS SO THEY
THEY SEEM. AT THEIR NEW BUT
EXCITING YOU MENTION FRESNO BUT
IF YOU COULD MEET MENTIONED AT
THE OTHER. ONE WITH THE
HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES IF YOU COMMENT ON
THAT. ABSOLUTELY.
WE IN SAN FRANCISCO.
BECAUSE THE COST OF LIVING.
BECAUSE OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS.
WE HAVE WE HAVE A VERY DIVERSE.
STUDENT BODY OF ABOUT THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT.
IN LAST YEAR'S CLASS. RANK IS
DIVERSE BUT WE HAVE NOT IT
ATTRACTED MANY AFRICAN AMERICANS.
AS. WE THINK. YOU KNOW WE WE
ASPIRE TOWARD.
I THINK THAT THE LEGAL
COMMUNITY IN CALIFORNIA.
RAISES THIS ISSUE OVER AND OVER
AGAIN AND ADDED REALLY A CENTER
REPORT DO YOU KNOW THE THE
CHAIRS.
SUGGESTION AN IDEA. QUITE
BRILLIANT.
TOO OUTLOOK NOT.
SPECIFICALLY IT AFTER AMERICANS
BUT LOOK A COPY THAT I SPOKE
ABOUT COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
OF FOR EXCEPTIONAL TALENT THAT A
CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
TO BRING THEM BACK.
TO EDUCATE THEM WELL I'LL GIVE
THEM AN OPPORTUNITY WHERE THEY
DO NOT HAVE SUBSTANTIAL DEBT.
GRADUATING WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF
ALL LEVELS OF OF BOTH OF POVERTY
AND AND UNDER OBVIOUSLY IN SAN FRANCISCO IN
CALIFORNIA OTHER TRULY
NATIONALLY BECAUSE HE'S PC USERS
OVER RESPECTED. NATIONALLY SO.
I IT'S BEEN A REAL PRIVILEGE OF
PERSONALLY. AND PROFESSIONALLY
TO WORK WITH THE CHURCH OFFICE
AND.
WE'RE VERY EXCITED AT THE
PROSPECT.
WE TALK TO OUR.
INVOLVEMENT MANAGEMENT
ADMISSIONS FOLKS.
THEY ARE PLANNING TO BE ON
CAMPUS AT THE AGE YOU SEE IS.
AND TO. TALK TO HIM ABOUT WHAT
THE OPTIONS ARE HASTINGS AND I
THINK THAT IT. HIGHS INTO OUR
CONNECTIONS TO SILICON VALLEY
AND TO SAN FRANCISCO.
I WAS IN CHINA AND EUROPE BUT
THIS PAST FALL ARE LOOKING TO
EXPAND OUR INTERNATIONAL PROGRAM.
AND I STARTED JOKING THAT YOU
KNOW YOU COULD GO TO SCHOOL IN
BOSTON.
BECAUSE THEY FANCY THEMSELVES
AS SILICON VALLEY OF
MASSACHUSETTS YOU AS REALLY OUR SOUL OF MUCH GRANDER SCHEME
FOR WHERE HASTINGS IS GOING
INCLUDING THESE PARTNERSHIPS.
WITH THE UC CAMPUSES AND
BUSINESS INTO A COMMUNITY.
AND. VERY MUCH LAST QUESTION IF
I DON'T THINK OF ANOTHER ONE
MISTER CHAIR.
IT'S NICE TO HEAR SUCH GOOD
THINGS ABOUT YOU. ARM.
THE US NEWS ABOUT LAW SCHOOL
RANKINGS JUST CAME OUT TWO WEEKS
AGO. WOULD YOU LIKE TO MAKE ANY
COMMENTS ABOUT WHAT I SAID TO
HIM MESSAGE TO MY COMMUNITY
WHICH I'D BE HAPPY TO SHARE WITH
YOUR AND AND AND OF THE
COMMITTEE'S OFFICES.
MY. POSITION FIRST OF ALL IS
THAT US NEWS USES METRICS THAT
ARE NOT VALID AND HAVING GONE TO
GRADUATE SCHOOL AND.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY AND
STATISTICS ARE THAT'S WELL BEGIN.
BUT NOT WITHSTANDING THAT. FACT
OF THE MATTER.
PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS LOOK AT IT
AND POURS LOOK AT IT.
OF THE COMMUNITY WE WILL
COMMUNITY GENERALLY LOOK AT IT
AND SO IT'S A HOT TOPIC VERY TOP
PRIORITY FOR ME.
WE SCRIPT FROM FIFTY FOUR TO
FIFTY EIGHT.
WE HAVE WE USED TO BE A TOP
TWENTY LAW SCHOOL.
BACK WHEN I STARTED IN NINETEEN
EIGHTY SEVEN WE'RE RANKED
NINETEENTH IN THE COUNTRY US
WHEN I MEET WITH ALUMNI MANY
ALUMNI.
COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FACT THAT
WHEN THEY
ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE THAT WE
GET OUR POINT NUMBERS UP.
BAR SUCCESS.
WE HAD A TERRIFIC YEAR OR THE
YEAR BEFORE I CAME IN TO THE
DEANSHIP.
WE HAVE MADE A NUMBER OF
REFORMS IN OUR CURRICULUM. WE
NOW REQUIRE ALL BAR EXAMS TO BE
CLOSED BOOK EXAMS.
WHAT WE REALIZED WHEN WE STUDY
THE MATTER WAS THAT STUDENTS
WERE GOING THROUGH THREE YEARS
OF LAW SCHOOL AT HASTINGS
WITHOUT? TAKING A CLOSED BOOK
EXAM AND TO THEIR FIRST CLOSED
BOOK EXAM AND LAW SCHOOL WAS THE
CALIFORNIA BAR EXAM THIS IS A
GENERATION THAT DOESN'T MEMORIZE
THE WAY WITH MY GENERATION DID I
HAD TO MEMORIZE A POEM THAT
CABLE. WHY I HAVE NO IDEA BUT I
DID AND SO OUR GENERATIONS WERE
MEMORIZE OR IS THIS GENERATION
IS NOT AND WE DON'T TRAIN THEM
OVER THREE YEARS OF LAW SCHOOL?
TO MEMORIZE AND TAKE A CLOSED
BOOK EXAM THAT WE'RE NOT DOING
OUR JOB AND SO WE NOW REQUIRE
ALL BLOODY.
CLASSES.
TOO BECAUSE BOOK WE ALSO NOW
REQUIRE UPPER DIVISION BAR
CLASSES THAT ARE TESTED POINT THREE LIVE. IN OUR CLASS YOU TOOK IT WENT UP
YOUR RECORD OF SUCCESS ON THE
BAR WENT UP ABOUT FOUR POINT
FIVE PERCENT. IF YOU TOOK IT
PASS FAIL NOT FOR GRADE THAT
DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY AND SO WE
REMOVE THAT OPTION FOR ALL
CLASSES IN THAT YOU CAN NO
LONGER TAKE THAT SPELL. WE'VE
ALSO ADDED UNITS BACK INTO THE
FIRST YEAR CURRICULUM WHICH IS
WHERE THE DOCTRINAL CLASSES ARE
AND WE'VE ALSO ADDED CLASSES IN
THE FINAL SEMESTER. OF MORE BAR
PREP ORIENTED CLASSES TO GIVE
THE STUDENTS A LITTLE BIT OF A
HEAD START ON STUDYING FOR THE
BAR SO THAT THEY'RE NOT CRAM IT
ALL INTO THE TWO MONTHS PRIOR TO
THE BAR. SO WE ARE BASICALLY
LOOKING AT EVERY FACTOR ACROSS GREAT CORNER GREAT EXPERIENCE WHAT MEAN THEM WITH I IT HAD JENNY IS IN SILICON VALLEY
AND ARE PAYING ATTENTION TO TELL US WE ARE ONE NIGHT. I HAD A
NUMBER OF ALUMNI FOR EXAMPLE
GOING BACK AND DOMON ISSUE
ACTUALLY SAID TO ME. WE WILL I
WILL NOT GIVE YOUA DIME INTO
YOUR TOP TWENTY FIVE LAW SCHOOL
AGAIN AND I SAY WE WILL NOT BE A
TOP TWENTY FIVE LAW SCHOOL AND
HE'S JUST GIVING ME THOSE TIMES.
IT'S A CARDINAL COURSE ISSUE AND
WE ARE BUILDING A BANDWAGON AND
THAT'S WHERE THAT MILLION DOLLAR
GIFT AND I THINK SEVERAL OTHERS
WILL. BEGIN REALLY CONSTRUCTING
THAT BANDWAGON BECAUSE EVERYBODY
WANTS TO BE PART OF OUR SUCCESS
AND AS WE BUILD THE CAMPUS WE
BUILD THOSE PARTNERSHIPS WE
BUILD THOSE COLLABORATIONS.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE ALUMNI THAT
WANT TO BE ON THAT BANDWAGON AND
THAT'S THAT'S THE VISION AND I
THINK THAT THAT WILL PAY OFF FOR
US NEWS. IT TAKES A LITTLE BIT
OF TIME.
TAKES YEARS NEEDS TO GET SOME
TRACTION.
ARE MY DIRECTOR EXTERNAL
RELATIONS KEEP SAYING.
TOP TWENTY FIVE AND TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE.
I WILL YOU CAN OF QUOTE ME ON
THAT WHEN I'M BACK HERE IN
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE.
HAPPY TO. SHARE THAT LIVE AS.
SO THEN DEAN OF THE US NEWS
LISTING START AS A LOT OF TIES IT DOWN A LITTLE BIT WE WERE
RANKED TWENTY SEVENTH IN THE
COUNTRY BY LAWYERS AND JUDGES SO
US NEWS WILL SURVEY. LAWYERS AND
JUDGES IN THAT SURVEY WERE
TWENTY SEVENTH IN THE COUNTRY
AMONG ACADEMICS THAT WE WERE
AROUND FORTY FOUR.
I THINK THAT ACADEMICS READ US
NEWS SO.
THEY BELIEVE IT FOR WHATEVER
REASON BUT THAT'S A GROUP THAT
WE NEED TO IMPRESS UPON THEM.
REALLY WHAT IS THE QUALITY OF
THE SCHOOL AND I DO THINK THAT.
THE MY MODEL OF GOING FORWARD IS
WHAT I DESCRIBE AS THE NYU MODEL.
SO YOU MAY REMEMBER BACK IN THE
NINETEEN EIGHTIES.
AND WHY YOU GOT A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS AND MACARONI
FORTUNE. THEY JOHN SEXTON WAS
THE DEAN AND HE LOOKED AROUND
AND I GREW UP IN NEW YORK AND
NEW YORK WAS NOT JUST A PLACE
YOU WANT TO BE IN THE NINETEEN
SEVENTIES.
IN THE THEY TURN YORK AROUND
INSECTS AND IT LOOKED RIGHT SAID
I NEED TO HAVE ONE FACTOR IN I REMOVED EIGHTEEN EIGHTIES FROM NYU THE
COLUMBIA. OPEN I LOVE EARLY
GERMANS GAVE THE DEAN AT
BERKELEY BUT.
EARLY WORK OUT.
WE HAVE THIS INCREDIBLE
OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY MARSHAL
OUR POSITION IN SAN FRANCISCO
AND BECAUSE WE HAVE THE REAL
ESTATE. REALLY BECAUSE THE
GENEROSITY OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA TO BUILD ON PROPERTY
THAT WAS AN EMPTY LOT. WHICH NOW
ALLOWS US TO BUILD THE HOUSING
AND RENOVATE OUR STUDENT HOUSING
WHICH IS ALL GONNA BE P. THREE.
OR OTHER FINANCES NOT COMING
FROM OUR.
FUNDERS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
IS NOT PAYING FOR IT I IT'LL BE
AN INVESTMENT AS MUCH DO HOUSING
IS THESE DAYS.
WE ARE IN THIS INCREDIBLE
POSITION TO REALLY ROCKET
FORWARD.
AND I INTEND TO TAKE EVERY
ADVANTAGE OF THAT SO NOT HERE TO
PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON THE
DROP IN FOUR. PLACES IS.
THAT'S NOT A GOOD TREND IN YOUR
DIMENSION KNOW HOW FAR IT'S GONE
SO HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO EVEN
MOVE UP ONE. ACTUALLY OTHERS
INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF VERY GOOD
I'LL SEND YOU A GRAPH YOU
APPRECIATED. THAT THE TOP US NOT
SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN SCHOOLS FOR
OVER THE YEARS OVER THE LAST
FIFTEEN YEARS ARE VERY STEADY
AND THEY MOVE UP ONE OR TWO
SPACES.
AFTER THAT THE VERY ABILITY IS
LIKE THIS AND GIVE AN EXAMPLE
UNIVERSITY OF SAN DIEGO
WONDERFUL DEAN US THE FURLOUGH.
THEY DROPPED EIGHTEEN PLACES
THIS YEAR HOW DO YOU DROP
EIGHTEEN PLACES IN ONE YEAR
WE'RE NOT A BASKETBALL TEAM WE
DON'T HAVE A GOOD RECRUITING
YEARS. SAN DIEGO WAS RIGHT
NINETY FIFTH THIS YEAR THERE'S
NO WAY THAT THE UNIVERSE IS SAN
DIEGO IS THE NINETY FIFTH BEST
LAW SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY. HOW
DOES THAT HAPPEN IS BECAUSE
THEIR METRICS ARE SO WEAK YOUR
SCHOOLS HAVE MOVED UP OR DOWN
THIRTY PLACES IN ONE YEAR? AND
SO THAT JUST REALLY ILLUSTRATES
HOW AS A PURPLE MATTER.
US NEWS IS NOT ACCURATE OR
VALID.
HAVING SAID THAT NONE THE LESS
IF IT'S BELIEVED IT'S IT'S MOVE THE PERCEPTION OF HASTINGS
NATIONALLY I THINK THERE REALLY
IS A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO MOVE
BECAUSE OF THE GREAT DEAL OF
VARIABILITY AND AND THE METRICS
AND CATCH UP THE ROAD A LOT.
FINEST I WANT TO GO TO THANK YOU
VERY MUCH THANK YOU. CENTER
JACKSON IS READ I WANT YOU TO
SUCCEED.
I SAID THAT ON HIS THING YOU
KNOW THE WHOLE THE LEGAL
PROFESSIONS RIGHT NOW IN A BIT
OF A TURMOIL OVER ALL WE'RE
SAYING IS TERRIBLE REDUCTION IN
THE NUMBER OF. STUDENTS FROM
PARTICULARLY.
YOU KNOW IF SOMEONE CAN
ENVISION GOING OUT AND STARTING
A START UP WHERE THEY CAN SELL
IT IN FIVE YEARS AND HAVE TEN
MILLION OR A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS IN THEIR POCKET VERSUS
WORKING.
EXTRAORDINARILY HARD. OVER THE
COURSE OF A LIFETIME EIGHTY
HOURS A WEEK. YOU KNOW THE
APPEAL OF HIS SEES.
IN THE OTHER DIRECTION BUT I I
APPRECIATE WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
DO AND. YOU KNOW PART OF THE
THINGS TO FACTOR INTO IT WERE
SOMEONE GOES TO LAW SCHOOL
COURSE THE. NOTION OF BAR RATE
PASSAGE BECAUSE THAT YOU TAKE IT
TO YOUR FUTURE. ECONOMIC SUPPORT
ODD DEVELOPMENT AND SUCCESS IN
MOST INSTANCES AT LEAST. SOME OF
COURSE GO TO LAW SCHOOL FOR THE
EXPERIENCE AND GOING TO BUSINESS
AND OTHER THINGS BUT.
BAR SUCCESS IS IMPORTANT AND.
THE FACT THAT WE'RE SEEING THE
FLATTENING A LITTLE BIT OF LEGAL
OPPORTUNITIES GOING FORWARD. A
IS A PROBLEM BUT I THINK THE
NUMBER ONE PROBLEM I WOULD
SUSPECT THAT YOU'VE HAD. IS THE
HOUSING COSTS IN SAN FRANCISCO
SO.
WHILE SOME OF IT I'M SURE IS
RELATED TO THE ACADEMIC ISSUES
IT TO US IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO
SEE HOW THINGS GO NOW THAT YOU
CAN OFFER. THAT OPTION TO IT TO
STUDENTS AND AND DOC. HASTINGS
WHEN I WAS IN THE.
I HEADED FOR LAW SCHOOL WHICH IS
A LONG TIME AGO. REMEMBER THAT
THE ADAGE WAS.
PROFESSOR THE FIRST THEY WOULD
SAY NOW LOOK TO YOUR LEFT AND
LOOK TO YOUR RIGHT. AND WHAT IS
THAT ONE OF YOU WILL BE HERE AT
THE END OF THE FIRST SLAYER
IMPACT DEAN SNODGRASS USED TO
HAVE THEM SHAKE EACH OTHER'S
HAND RIGHT RIGHT THOUGH I HOPE
YOU HAVE TO CHANGE THAT ME
BECAUSE THAT COULD DISCOURAGE A
FEW PEOPLE FROM WANTING TO COME
TO. YOUR SCHOOL AS WELL BUT. IN
ALL SERIOUSNESS I AM I HOPE THAT.
RECOGNIZING YOU KNOW THE COST
IS COMPETITIVE WITH PRIVATE
SCHOOLS NOW THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA DOES NOT. GIVE A BIG
TUITION BREAK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
COMING TO THE SCHOOL SO AND I
KNOW YOU'VE BEEN WORKINGVERY
HARD ON THIS AND OTHER ISSUES
AND I WANT TO THANK YOU. FOR
MAKING VERY MUCH SENATOR. OF
THANK YOU COLLEAGUES ARE JUST A
COUPLE OF SPECIFIC QUESTIONS.
I'M ON THE TWO TUITION INCREASE.
OBVIOUSLY NO ONE LIKES TUITION
INCREASES.
.
IT.
WALK ME THROUGH SHORT OF THAT
THE NEXT.
SEVEN YEARS OF WHAT'S PLANNED
AND AND. AND WHY YOU THINK IT'S
NECESSARY AND WHAT WHAT ARE WE
DOING.
WELL FOR THE PAST WE'RE GOING
INTO OUR SIX THE YEAR OF. NO
TUITION INCREASES THERE HAVE
BEEN SMALL INCREASES IN HEALTH
INSURANCE AND FOR OF A.
SECONDARY FEES.
AND WE HAVE BENEFITED FROM THE
GOVERNOR'S MULTI YEAR FUNDING
PLANNED BUT THOSE INCREASES YOU
KNOW RATHER MODEST BUT YOU KNOW
DEEPLY APPRECIATED.
SO.
AFTER CONSULTATION WITH THE
ELADIO WE REALLY REALLY LOOK AT
THE ASSUMPTIONS ON THE FEE
INCREASES AND HAVE. FOR PLANNING
PURPOSES
BEGINNING IN FISCAL YEAR
NINETEEN TWENTY RIGHT ARE FOR A
MULTI YEAR PLAN ARE FACTORING
FIVE PERCENT INCREASES.
AND HOW MANY YEARS OUT FROM
NINETEEN TWENTY ALIKE WILL.
WE ARE PLANNING A RISING AND
OPERATES AS A FIVE YEAR PLANNING
HORIZON FIVE YEAR PLAN NOW THAT.
LEVEL OF GROWTH ASSUMES ZERO.
GROWTH IN STATE APPROPRIATIONS.
IT AGAIN OR ENDOWMENT. ORNAMENT
WE NEED TO ME AFTER MY OPERATING
STANDPOINT AND I USE THESE
WELCOME MULTI YEAR BUDGET TOOLS
PLANNING TOOLS AS OPERATING
TOOLS.
AS OPPOSED TO ASPIRATIONAL TOOLS.
IS INCUMBENT ON.
ME AS A FINANCIAL MANAGER TO
TAKE OF CONSERVATIVE ASSUMPTIONS.
SO IF.
THE NEXT ADMINISTRATION.
ELECTS TO CONTINUE A GENERAL
FUND GROWTH WE WE WOULD
OBVIOUSLY REVISIT. OUR SOME
FRIENDS ON THE NEED FOR FEE
INCREASES.
OF WHAT WE DO NEED TO FACTOR
INTO OUR COST PLANNING RIGHT.
PLAY COMPENSATION WE HAVE OF
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING UNITS THAT
WE WE NEGOTIATE WITH.
WE NEED TO FACTOR IN
ASSUMPTIONS I KNOW CORE COST
GROWTH.
YOUR GROWTH OF.
IN ROME IN REAL WELL ENROLLMENT
TO THE EXTENT THE MARKET ALLOWS
OUR APPLICATIONS ARE UP TEN
PERCENT THIS YEAR IT'S A VERY
POSITIVE DEVELOPMENT.
BUT ALL THESE FACTORS TO GET
THROWN INTO THE MIX AND THEN WE
JUXTAPOSED OUR CORE OPERATIONS
THOSE ELEMENTS FUNDED BY STATE
APPROPRIATIONS IN STUDENT FEES.
AGAINST HOW THE AUXILIARY
ENTERPRISES ARE DOING STUDENT
HOUSING PARKING.
SO.
THESE ALL COME INTO THE MIX
THERE'S NO FIM COMMITMENTS BUT
YOU KNOW I NEED TO BE ABLE TO.
OF PLAN.
USING ASSUMPTIONS THAT ARE AS
REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE NOT
NECESSARILY DESIRABLE RIGHT BUT.
MORALES LIKE YOU'RE TRYING TO BE
AS.
PRUDENT BUT ALSO RECOGNIZED IT
MAY CHANGE FOR THE BETTER. IF.
IF. IF WE GET UPSIDE OUR MALL
OUR PLANS WILL CHANGE
ACCORDINGLY GOOD AND ON THE
HOUSING WHEN IS IT PLANNED TO BE
COMPLETED.
AND HE.
ACADEMIC BUILDING OF THE STATE.

DO WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT AND AND
APPRECIATE YOUR. YOUR DIVERSIT
OUR REACH YOU KNOW WITH HISPANIC
SERVING INSTITUTION FRESNO STATE
THE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGES
EVERYTHING YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE
AS WE TALKED LAST YEAR DIVERSITY SIR GENDER NEUTRAL BUT. THE
PARTNERSHIP WITH SPELMAN WOULD
OBVIOUSLY INCREASE OF WOMEN.
.
ABSOLUTELY LAWYER SO THAT'S ALSO
A. SPECIAL.
YOU KNOW IF WOMEN OF COLOR.
HAD A OF THE U.
UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS RIGHT
NOW OUR CLASSES ACTUALLY
MAJORITY. WOMEN SO WE'RE ABOUT I
THINK THIS YEAR'S CLASS OF FIFTY
FOUR. PERCENT WOMEN. SO THAT'S
VERY LAUDABLE AND OBVIOUSLY WITH
OTHER ETHNIC. MINORITIES THAT
WERE WORKING WITH IT'S VERY
IMPORTANT TO DO AND I APPRECIATE
YOU IMPRESSION OF THANK YOU AND
I AND I REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR
PARTNERSHIP. THANK YOU ARE WITH
THAT OR MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
PANEL THAT YOU GUYS ALL SURVIVE
DECISION.
THE CENTER OF IT.
HANG IN THERE CAPITAL PROJECTS
CAN BE JUST A KILLER I SUPPOSE
WE COULD. SORT OF DELAY THIS
CONVERSATION ONLINE COLLEGE
NOBODY'S HERE TO TALK ABOUT THAT
RIGHT.
THERE'S NOT PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE
TO.
OUR SECOND PANEL AND MISS
JACKSON I APOLOGIZE I TOLD YOU
EARLIER THIS WAS NUMBER ONE. BUT
I.
IT SAID PANEL ONE AND I MISS
READ MY AGENDA SO I APOLOGIZE.
ON ITS NUMBER TWO.
WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT ONLINE
COLLEGE IT YET GREAT COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SYSTEM AND WE HAVE A
NUMBER OF.
INTERESTED PARTIES AND CANCER I
GUESS YOU'RE KICKING IT OFF.
ARE YOU GUYS KNOW WHO'S GETTING
IT OFF WELL THAT'S RIGHT TURN
OVER TO FINANCE THE CHANGE AT
ALL I ORDER I FORGOT. GO AHEAD.
AS GOOD GOOD MORNING CHURCH
MEMBERS MARKETS THAT WOULD HE
SAT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE.
US ALL FOCUS MY REMARKS TODAY ON
AT THREE AREAS UP.
PROVIDE. AN OVERVIEW OF THE
PROBLEM STATEMENTS THAT LED TO
OUR PROPOSAL I PROVIDE A BRIEF
OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSAL AND THE
GOALS OF THE PROPOSAL. AND
PROVIDE SOME ADDITIONAL CLARITY
ON VARIOUS ISSUES AND QUESTIONS
THAT. WERE RAISED DURING THE
SENATE FULL BUDGET
OVERVIEW ON THIS TOPIC AND
QUESTIONS WE'VE RECEIVED SINCE
THEN.
SO DESCRIBED DURING THE
OVERVIEW HEARING THERE ARE
CURRENTLY TWO POINT FIVE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS IN THE PRIME
WORKING AGE IS BETWEEN TWENTY
FIVE AND THIRTY FOUR. WHO HAVE
NOT ATTAINED A POST SECONDARY
CREDENTIAL AT NEEDED FOR THEIR
ECONOMIC BUBBLE MOBILITY? WE
KNOW THAT NEARLY HALF COME FROM
SPANISH SPEAKING HOUSEHOLDS AND
APPROXIMATELY EIGHTY PERCENT OF
THAT POPULATION IS WORKING AND
BASED ON TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
CENSUS DATA WE KNOW THAT THE
AVERAGE SAT SALARY.
ANNUAL SALARY FOR THIS
POPULATION IS ABOUT TWENTY SIX
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AND WE ALSO KNOW THAT THIS
POPULATION OF ADULT IS FOR MORE
NOBLE TO THE IMPACTS OF A
RECESSION. OUT THIS POPULATION
HAD THE HIGHEST UNEMPLOYMENT
RATES OUT DURING THE LAST
RECESSION AND RECOVERED AT A
MUCH SLOWER PACE THAN THOSE
INDIVIDUALS THAT HAD SOME POST
SECONDARY CREDENTIAL. FINALLY WE
KNOW THAT THERE ARE VAST NUMBERS
OF CALIFORNIA STUDENTS FOR
ACCESS SEEN ONLINE PROGRAMS AT
PRIVATE AND FOR PROFIT
INSTITUTIONS. THESE PRIVATE
INSTITUTIONS CAN COST SEVEN TO
NINE TIMES MORE PER UNIT THAN
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES.
TO THAT END THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PROPOSES THE CREATION OF
AN ONLINE COLLEGE TO PROVIDE
QUALITY QUALITY AFFORDABLE AND
FLEXIBLE EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE INTENDED
POPULATION OF WORKING ADULTS. WE
SEE THIS AS A PUBLIC OPTION TO
PROVIDE INDIVIDUALS ARE
CURRENTLY NOT BEING SERVED BY
THE EXISTING COMMUNICABLE
ADDRESS WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO
IMPROVE THEIR ECONOMIC MOBILITY.
THE FOCUS OF THE COLLEGE ADAM AS
DESCRIBED AT THE HEARING AT THE
OVERVIEW HEARING WOULD BE
PROVIDING SHORT TERM CREDENTIALS
THAT OUR INDUSTRY VALUED WHICH
MEANS THAT THE CREDENTIALS LEAD
TO WEIGHT GAIN OR PROMOTION. THE
COLLEGE WOULD ALSO IDENTIFY
OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE THOSE AB
CREDENTIALS STACKABLE WHICH
MEANS THAT.
AS THEY COULD BE USED TOWARD A
MORE ADVANCED CERTIFICATION OR
DEGREE AT ANOTHER COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
ANOTHER KEY FEATURE OF THE
COLLEGES THAT I WILL WORK TO
ESTABLISH COMPETENCY BASED
EDUCATION OPPORTUNITIES.
COMPETENCY BASED EDUCATION ALLOW
STUDENTS TO MAKE QUICKER
PROGRESS TOWARD COMPLETING THEIR
CREDENTIAL BY GIVING CREDIT FOR
PRIOR LEARNING AND ALLOWING
STUDENTS TO MAKE PROGRESS BY
DEMONSTRATING SPECIFIC
PROFICIENCIES.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSES A
HUNDRED MILLION ONE TIME AND
TWENTY MILLION ON GOING
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT GENERAL
FUND TO ESTABLISH THE COLLEGE.
THE ONE TIME FUNDS WOULD SUPPORT
ACTIVITIES SUCH AS REQUIRING
RELEVANT TECHNOLOGIES
INFRASTRUCTURE SECURITY SECURING
ACCREDITATION DEVELOPING
BUSINESS PROCESS SEES. DESIGNING
STUDENTS SUPPORTS AS WELL
ESTABLISHING A RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT UNIT. ONGOING
FUNDING WOULD SUPPORT LICENSING
AND MAINTENANCE OF HIM
TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT. SALARIES AND
BENEFITS OF THE COLLEGES STAFF
AND PROGRAM PAT HAD WE'VE
ALLEGATION DEVELOPMENTS AND
ASSESSMENT. I WANT TO BRIEFLY
HIGHLIGHT AND THE RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT UNIT OUT WHICH IS
THE CORE COMPONENTS OF THE
COLLEGE AND WOULD BE REQUIRED.
PURSUANT TO THE TO THE TRAILER
BUT WE PROPOSE. THE UNIT WOULD
BE REQUIRED TO ASSESS DATA
METRICS AND STUDENT PROGRESS AND
INFORM INSTRUCTIONAL AND SUPPORT
STRATEGIES FOR THIS UNIT WILL
CONSTANTLY BE REVEALING. THE
COLLEGES PROGRAMS ACID AND
LEARNING DATA STUDENT SUPPORT
OPTIONS.
TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS ARE NOT
ONLY SUCCESS WHEN THE PROGRAMS
BUT ALSO SUCCESSFUL IN ADDITION.
I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT
THE TRAILER BILL ALSO REQUIRES A
COLLEGE TO BE ASSESSED BY AN
INDEPENDENT A BELL EVALUATOR NO
LATER THAN TWENTY TWENTY SIX ON
ITS PROGRAMS. RELATIONSHIPS WITH
PARTNERS AND AND STUDENT SUCCESS.
WITH REGARD TO GOVERNANCE THAT
PROPOSAL ESTABLISHES THE CALL
ONLINE COLLEGE AS A NEW
INDEPENDENT BODY THAT IS
GOVERNED BY A NW INDEPENDENT
DISTRICT GUIDED BY THE
PRINCIPLES ESTABLISHED BY THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE. WHILE THE
COLLEGE WILL WORK CLOSELY WITH
THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE JUST
LIKE ANY COLLEGE WILL BE RUN BY
COLLEGE PRESIDENTS AND HIS OR
HER STAFF.
I ALSO WANNA HIGHLIGHT I'M AT.
RESPONSE TO A QUESTION ON WHY A
NEW INDEPENDENT BODY.
WHY NOT PUT THE ONLY COLLEGE
WITH AN EXISTING DISTRICT OR
CONSORTIA AND A DISTRICTS? AND
AS WE HAVE WAITED IN THE
OVERVIEW HEARING WE THINK THAT
THIS BEST AT CENTRALIZATION AND.
SPECIALIZATION IS REALLY
CRITICAL TO ENSURING THAT OUR
PROGRAMS ARE OFFERED IN A TIMELY
WAY ADD TO A WORKING ADULTS THAT
ARE MOST VULNERABLE TO THE
RECESSION WE WOULD NOTE THAT OUR
CURRENT COURSE AND PROGRAM
DEVELOPMENT AND APPROVAL PROCESS
HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN. VERY A
VERY LENGTHY PROCESS.
IT COULD TAKE HISTORICALLY UP
TO TWO YEARS TO COMPLETE THE
DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL AND FINALLY
OFFERING THEN YOU.
COURSES TO STUDENTS THAT WE
THINK THAT ADDING THIS AS AN ADD
ON ONE NOW A LOT WHAT WOULD
HINDER THE CENTRALIZATION
SPECIAL SPECIAL RELATION. TO WE'VE ALSO BEEN HEARING THAT
THE ONLY COLLEGE. COLLEGE IS A
CHARTER IS ATION OF COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND WE WANT TO CLARIFY
THAT THIS IS CERTAINLY NOT THE
CASE AS IF IT DOES NOT. MAY MAKE
THE PROCESS FOR APPROVING OR
OPERATING AT A CHARTER SCHOOL.
WE'VE ALSO RECEIVED QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHETHER THE COLLEGE WOULD
OFFER A STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
SUCH AS COUNSELING IN OFFICE
HOURS. OF PROVIDING APPROPRIATE
STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES WILL BE
A CORE FUNCTION OF THE COLLEGE
PURSUANT TO THE TRAILER BILL.
THE COLLEGE WILL WORK TO DEVELOP
ONLY SUPPORTS WHEN STUDENTS NEED
THEM. TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS
ARE NOT JUST LIMITED BY THE
TYPICAL CLASSROOM OUR OFFICE
HOURS AT THIS COULD BE DONE
THROUGH TEXANS PORT VIA PHONE
ONLINE. ONLINE FORMS OUR LIVE
CHAT.
AND THE ONLY COLLEGE WOULD BE
ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN
CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS TO FURTHER
SUPPORT STUDENT SUCCESS AND
WE'RE WORKING ON TRAILER BUILT
TO ALSO CLARIFY THAT COMPONENTS.
ADDITIONAL DDITIONALLY WE ARE
WORKING ON TRAILER BILL
AMENDMENTS TO ADD PROVISIONS TO
ENSURE THAT THE ONLY COLLEGE
COMPLIES WITH DISABILITY
DISABILITY AND ACCESSIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS THAT'S ANOTHER.
COMPETE THAT WE'VE BEEN
RECEIVING.
AND FINALLY A QUESTION RAISED IN
THE OVERVIEW HEARING.
WAS ABOUT WHICH PATHWAYS WOULD
AT THE COLLEGE INITIALLY OFFER
AND THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE HAS
BEEN ENGAGING WITH INDUSTRY
PARTNERS ANY OF EVALUATING THOSE
POTENTIAL PATHWAYS AND I'LL
DEFER TO THE CHANCELLOR TO
PROVIDE. ADDITIONAL DETAILS
ABOUT THAT WORK ANSWER THINKING
WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS. JUST KEEP GOING TO
THE WHOLE PANEL.
ALL RIGHT WELL.
.
GOOD TO SEE EVERYONE. CHAIR
PORTENT TINO VICE CHAIR MORE
LACK.
SOONER JACKSON CENTER AL AND
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE WITH
YOU TODAY. AND TO CONTINUE OUR
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE THE ONLINE
COLLEGE SO THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY.
.
YOU KNOW WE ARE PRIMARILY HERE.
BECAUSE.
.
OF OUR DESIRE TO ADDRESS THE
NEEDS OF CALIFORNIANS AND I KNOW
THERE'S A LOT OF DEBATE AND
DISCUSSION ON HOW TO BEST DO
THAT BUT. I WANT TO REITERATE
THAT THAT IS THE ONLY REASON
THAT WE ARE ARE HERE TODAY. IS
TO BETTER ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF
WORKING CALIFORNIANS MANY OF
WHICH YOU KNOW YOU HAVE HEARD
FROM AND WILL CONTINUE TO HEAR
FROM. ABOUT THE CHALLENGES THEY
FACE IN TODAY'S WORKFORCE.
I WANT TO BEGIN.
BY.
GOING OVER SOME DETAIL TO
RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS THAT MANY
OF YOU RISED THE LAST TIME WE
WERE HERE DISCUSSING.
THE ONLINE COLLEGE SO SINCE WE
LAST SPOKE.
YOU KNOW THERE WAS SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PROBLEM
STATEMENT QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS
POPULATION OF WORKERS IN SINCE
WE LAST SPOKE THERE BEEN MANY
EXPERTS.
THAT HAVE WEIGHED IN ON THIS
NEED BY THAT OF WAITIN ON THE
EXISTENCE OF THE STRANDED
WORKERS. AND REITERATED THE NEED
FOR A PUBLIC. A PUBLIC RESPONSE
IN A PUBLIC PROGRAM TO THOSE
NEEDS.
MOST RECENTLY A CALIFORNIA
COMPETES AN ORGANIZATION THAT
FOCUSES ON THE NEED. FOR STATE
LEADERSHIP IN HIGHER EDUCATION
POLICY RELEASED A REPORT ON THE
SOCIAL ECONOMIC MOBILITY FOR
CALIFORNIA STRANDED WORKERS.
THEY FOUND THAT MORE THAN HALF
OF THE STRANDED WORKERS.
ARE EMPLOYED FULL TIME.
THAT THEY MAKE LESS THAN TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND ANNUALLY.
AND A QUARTER DO NOT HAVE HEALTH
INSURANCE.
OF THE WOMEN WHO ARE CONSIDERED
STRANDED WORKERS HALF OF THEM
HAVE DEPENDENT CHILDREN.
THE CALIFORNIA COMPETE ARGUES
THAT WITH THE RIGHT SUPPORT
ONLINE EDUCATION COULD HELP
STRANDED WORKERS GET THE
EDUCATION AND TRAINING THEY NEED.
SO AGAIN THESE ARE THE
INDIVIDUALS THAT WE ARE FOCUSED
ON.
WE'VE MADE IT A PRIORITY OF
LISTENING TO YOU ALL.
THEN THE CONCERNS YOU RAISED AT
THE LAST HEARING.
INCIDENT SO SINCE THEN WE'VE
REACHED OUT TO MANY MEMBERS OF
AND TO MANY CONSTITUENT GROUPS
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
I THINK IT WAS SENATOR MCGUIRE
WHO STATED CLEARLY.
THAT WE NEEDED TO GET OUR ACT
TOGETHER. THAT WE NEEDED TO
REACH OUT. AND LEARN MORE IN
HERE MORE AND TO WORK MORE
CLOSELY WITH THE CONSTITUENTS
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA AND WE
HAVE DONE JUST THAT.
SINCE JANUARY WE HAVE HELD
FOURTEEN MEET UPS.
FROM SAN DIEGO TO THE FAR NORTH.
IN PERSON AND ONLINE TO DISCUSS
HOW TO MEET. THE NEEDS OF
WORKERS AND HOW TO DESIGN THIS
NEW COLLEGE LET JUST LAST WEEK
WE HELD A TWO DAY SESSION. UNDER
THE ON THE DESIGN PRINCIPLES.
THAT PROMOTE SUCCSS IN AN
ONLINE EDUCATION ENVIRONMENT.
THE DESIGN SESSIONS ARE BROUGHT
TOGETHER. ALL SORTS OF DIFFERENT
FOLKS.
STUDENTS FACULTY UNION LEADERS
COUNTY WELFARE DIRECTORS
DISABILITY RIGHTS ADVOCATES
ADULT EDUCATION PROVIDERS
TECHNOLOGIST EMPLOYERS.
AND FOLKS FROM ALL SPECTRUMSOF
THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY.
ALL HELPING US UNDERSTAND HOW TO
BEST SERVE THESE WORKING ADULTS.
SOME OF THE THINGS WE'VE LEARNED
FROM THOSE MEETUPS IS THAT
STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE SUPPORT OF
OPPORTUNITIES TO INTERACT WITH
FACULTY AND STAFF WE ABSOLUTELY
AGREE. AND OUR CORPORATION THEN
TOWARD THE SIGN. AT THE COLLEGE
NEEDS TO PROVIDE ON BOARDING FOR
NON DIGITAL NATIVES THOSE
INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY NOT HAVE THE
BEST SKILLS TO NAVIGATE. ONLINE
WE ABSOLUTELY AGREE. THE COLLEGE.
THE EDUCATION SHOULD BE
CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE.
MANY OF THE INDIVIDUALS WILL BE
ACCESSING THIS ENGLISH IS NOT
THEIR FIRST LANGUAGE SO WE NEED
TO. ENSURE THAT WE PROVIDE THEM.
OFFER SUPPORT SERVICES IN OTHER
LANGUAGES.
AND IT SHOULD ALSO INTEGRATE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK BASED
LEARNING. AND FACILITATE
CONNECTIONS TO COMMUNITY
RESOURCES WE ABSOLUTELY GREAT SO.
WE'VE MADE PROGRESS IN BEGINNING
TO DEFINE THE PATHWAYS. WE HAVE.
CREATED SOME DESIGN PRINCIPLES.
WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT THESE
PATHWAYS OUR DEMAND DRIVEN. WITH
INPUT FROM INDUSTRY LABOR
PARTNERS AND EMPLOYERS THAT'D BE
STUDENT CENTERED.
AND STUDENT CENTERED MEANING
CENTERED ON THOSE ADULT WORKERS.
AND WE REALLY APPRECIATE THE
FEEDBACK THAT WE RECEIVE FROM.
MANY OF THE MEMBERS OF SG I YOU
AND OTHER LABOR ORGANIZATIONS
AGAIN WHICH IS WHY WE'RE HERE
TODAY.
THAT IT SHOULD BE COMPETENCY
BASED
PROVIDING A WORKING ADULTS WITH
THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS NEEDED
AND THE EDUCATIONAL FOR
EDUCATIONAL CAREER ADVANCEMENT.
WE NEED TOENSURE. THAT THE
DESIGN FOCUSES ON JOB AREAS THAT
REQUIRE A SCALABLE RESPONSE IN
THE LABOR MARKET WE HAVE MANY OF
OUR COLLEGES WORKING. ON LOCAL
NEEDS ND WE WANT TO CONTINUE
AND SUPPORT. AND ENHANCE THAT
BUT WE IN THE DESIGN OF THESE.
PATHWAYS WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT
THERE IS A LARGE LABOR. OR LABOR
MARKET DEMAND.
AND THAT WE BUILD ON EXISTING
AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES TO
PROMOTE PROMISING. AND BEST
PRACTICES. AS.
DEPARTMENT FINANCE MENTION WE
WANT TO ENSURE THAT ALL THESE
PRACTICES FILTER DOWN TO ALL
OVER A HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES.
AND THAT IT BE IMPLEMENTED
THROUGH STRONG PARTNERSHIPS
BETWEEN KEY STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGED
IN DRIVING SUCCESS FOR WORKING
ADULTS THESE INDIVIDUALS WORKING
AT THIS COLLEGE WILL BE SOLELY
FOCUSED ON WORKING ADULTS. AND
ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE TO
THIS BODY INTO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
LET ME DESCRIBE ONE OF THE
PATHWAYS THAT WE HAVE
SPECIFICALLY BEEN WORKING ON.
BUT YOU HAVE.
A HAND OUT.
THAT YOU'RE GETTING ON THIS
SPECIFIC PATHWAY CALLED THE
HEALTHCARE. BUSINESS SERVICES
PATHWAY.
AND AS I SPEAK ABOUT THIS
PATHWAY IN ADDITION TO THIS
PATHWAY PATHWAY. YOU'RE ALSO
GOING TO RECEIVE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE MANY MANY SUPPORTERS
WHO COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY.
THAT ARE VERY INTERESTED IN
THESE AND SOME OF THE OTHER
PATHWAYS THAT WERE WORKING ON.
SO.
MANY YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THE
HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY.
YOU MAY KNOW THAT IT ACCOUNTS
FOR AROUND SEVEN PERCENT. OF ALL
JOBS IN CALIFORNIA.
WITH EMPLOYMENTS SPLIT INTO
THREE CATEGORIES PATIENT CARE
ALLIED HEALTH IN HEALTHCARE
BUSINESS SERVICES.
WORKERS CAN FOLLOW CAREER
PATHWAYS THAT CUT ACROSS ALL
THREE CATEGORIES.
BUT IN PARTICULAR. THIS AREA
CALLED HEALTHCARE BUSINESS
SERVICES SINCE IT DOES NOT
REQUIRE A CLINICAL COMPONENT IS
PARTICULARLY. WELL SUITED FOR
THE KIND OF ONLINE INSTRUCTION
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO THE WORK IN THIS AREA RANGES
FROM ENTRY LEVEL POSITIONS LIKE
RECEPTIONIST OR DATA ENTRY CLERK
TO PROFESSIONAL AND MANAGEMENT
ROLES LIKE ACCOUNTANTS AND
DIRECTORS WOULD SKILLS RELEVANT
ACROSS MULTIPLE INDUSTRIES BE ON
HEALTHCARE.
MEDICAL COLDLY CODING
SPECIFICALLY REPRESENTS A KEY
ENTRY POINT.
FOR A HIGHER PAIN HEALTHCARE
CAREERS.
ACCURATE COATING OF MEDICAL
SERVICES FOR INSURANCE BUILDING
IS A CRITICAL NEED IN THE
HEALTHCARE BUSINESS.
THERE HAVE BEEN.
THERE'S AN ESTIMATE THAT ELEVEN
THOUSAND NEW JOBS WILL BE ADDED
BETWEEN TWENTY SEVENTEEN AND
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
SO AGAIN. THIS IS AN AREA WHERE
WE NEED A SCALED RESPONSE TO BE
ABLE TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS. OF
THE INCUMBENT WORKERS.
AND THE HEALTHCARE INDUSTRY.
AND WITHIN MEDICAL CODING THERE
IS A PROGRESSION OF POSITIONS
BASED ON THE TRAINING AND
EXPERIENCE LEVEL OF THE WORKER.
THE SEIU YOU HW EDUCATION FUND
HAS DEFINED FOUR LEVELS OF
MEDICAL CODING REPRESENTING A
CAREER LADDER THAT LEADS TO
UPWARD ECONOMIC MOBILITY.
SO. AGAIN.
IN LISTENING TO YOU ALL WE HAVE
REACHED OUT AND FOUND A PARTNER.
AN INDUSTRY THAT NEEDS A
SCALABLE SOLUTION. AND WE ARE
WORKING HARD TO ENSURE THAT
THERE IS CLEAR UPWARD ECONOMIC
MOBILITY FOR THE WORKERS THAT WE
WOULD BE FOCUSED ON.
WE'RE CONTINUING THE SAME DESIGN
PRINCIPLE WITH SEVERAL OTHER.
PATHWAYS THAT WE HOPE TO SPEND
TIME TALKING TO YOU ABOUT IN THE
FUTURE.
NOW IN CLOSING LET ME.
REITERATE SOME POINTS SOME OF
WHICH HAVE BEEN ALREADY MADE BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE WHICH
I THINK ARE IMPORTANT. IN THAT
SPEAK TO SOME OF THE PARTNERS
THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO
PARTNERS LIKE CTA PARTNERS LIKE
CSEA WHO REPRESENT MANY. OF THE
FACULTY AND STAFF IN OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. I WANNA
AGAIN UNEQUIVOCALLY STATE THAT
IN OUR COMMITMENT TO COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING. LIKE ANY ONE OF OUR
OTHER COMMUNITY COLLEGES THE
ONLINE COLLEGE WILL BE SUBJECT
TO EXISTING STATUTES RELATED TO
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING.
THESE EMPLOYEES THE CLASSIFIED
STAFF IN THE FACULTY WILL ALSO
HAVE ACCESS.
TO THE PENSION SYSTEMS ARE ALL
OF OUR EMPLOYEES HAVE ACCESS TO
PURRS AND STIRS.
THE COLLEGE WILL BECOME
ACCREDITED WE WILL SEEK
ACCREDITATION THROUGH BOTH THE
DISTANCE EDUCATION ACCREDITING
COMMISSION AND. THE ACCREDITING
COMMISSION FOR COMMUNITY AND
JUNIOR COLLEGES WE HAVE BEEN IN
CONVERSATIONS WITH BOTH
ACCORDING COMMISSIONS AND THEY
ARE INTERESTED AND ANXIOUS TO
WORK WITH US.
THIRD THE CRITICAL IMPORTANCE OF
GOVERNANCE OF THIS DISTRICT WHY
SHOULD IT BE A STATE WINE
GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE.
I THINK AND AND FIRST OF ALL LET
ME CONGRATULATE YOU CHAIR
PORTENT TINO FOR. AUTHORING THE
P. TECH BILL. I MEAN WE
RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE SOME
SITUATIONS WHICH REQUIRE EITHER
A STATEWIDE RESPONSE OR A
SEPARATE RESPONSE. THEN THAT
THEY ARE ONE OF A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES CAN PROPOSE.
THAT WE NEED TO BE SPECIFIC AND
FOCUSED IN AN AREA OF EDUCATION.
IN THIS CASE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
ADULT WORKERS THAT ARE SPREAD
THROUGHOUT OUR STATE.
AND HAVING A GOVERNANCE SYSTEM
THAT ALLOWS FOR THE ENTIRE STATE
TO BE REPRESENTED IS SOMETHING
THAT WE THINK IS CRITICAL FOR
THIS TO WORK.
THEOTHER ISSUE THAT WE FACE IN
OUR SYSTEM. IS THAT WE HAVE A
HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN DIFFERENT
WELL ACTUALLY SEVENTY TWO
DIFFERENT BARGAINING AGREEMENTS.
AND THESE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS
VERY AND AND DEPENDING ON THE
DISTRICT PROVIDE OUR FACULTY
DIFFERENT LEVELS OF OPPORTUNITY
TO ENGAGE STRICTLY AN ONLINE
EDUCATION. WE WANT TO ENSURE
THAT THE BARGAINING AGREEMENT
FOR THESE FACULTY AND THESE
CLASSIFIED STAFF REFLECT THE
MISSION THAT THEY ARE ENGAGED IN
AND ALLOW THEM TO FULLY
PARTICIPATE. IN ONLINE EDUCATION.
CHANCER YES I KNOW YOU'RE ON A
ROLL AND I REALLY REALLY
APOLOGIZE FOR MY COLLEAGUE.
SENATOR JACKSON HIGH CONCLUDE
MY REMARKS ONE I'M GENERALLY I
WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU MORE TME
TO KEEP GOING BUT SHE HAS A
CONFLICT AND SO. I WANT TO GIVE
MY COLLEAGUE AT A LITTLE BACK TO
YOU IF YOU DON'T MIND IS QUITE
RIGHT YEAH I MEAN TO CUT YOU OFF
THE BILL BUT I DO WANT MISTER. I
HAPPENED TO MENTION IN MY
APOLOGIES I THINK THIS IS A VERY
EXCITING PROSPECT AND I KNOW
YOU'VE BEEN.
AN EXTRAORDINARY ADVOCATE FOR
IT AND I APPRECIATE THAT. BUT
JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
.
MAYA ONE OF MY LOCAL COMMUNITY
COLLEGE IN SANTA BARBARA CITY
COLLEGE HAS THIRTY SIX ONLINE
PROGRAMS RIGHT NOW AS WE SPEAK
AND.
IT'S A IT'S A TERRIFIC SCHOOL I
THINK WE ALL AGREE IN FACT I
THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LISTED
BY. MANY GROUPS IS THE TOP
COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THE COUNTRY.
VERY FORWARD THINKING.
A LEADER I THINK IN THIS AREA
AND ONE OF THE THINGS SO LAST
TIME YOU MENTION THIS WHAT WOULD
THINK YOU WOULD BE COMPETING
WITH OTHER SCHOOLS AND. I DO SEE
THIS AS A BIT OF A COMPETITION.
AND WONDER WHY WE ARE SETTING UP
A WHOLE NEW CONSTRUCT RATHER
THANUSING FOR EXAMPLE THE THE.
THE KIND OF AGENDA THE KIND OF.
COMMITMENT THAT HAS BEEN MADE
BY SBC SEE AS THE TEMPLATE TO BE
USED BY THE OTHER COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WHY. WHY DO WE NEED A
STATEWIDE PROGRAM WHICH IS IN A
IN MANY RESPECTS SORT OF
CONTRARY TO THE TO THE UP? TO
THE MISSION OF THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
WHY NOT LOOK AT WHAT? ONE OF
THE THEORIES IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN
ABOUT COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS TO
ADDRESS THE NEEDS WITHIN THAT
REGION.
AND.
NOBODY. GENERALLY KNOWS THAT
BETTER THAN THE REGION ITSELF
WHY NOT OF PRESENTS SOME
INCENTIVES TO THE THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ARE ALREADY THERE. TO
CREATE THIS ONLINE EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITY AND TO INCORPORATE
WITHIN IT. SOME OF THAT ONE ON
ONE IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN THERE
HAVE BEEN STUDIES DONE THE POINT
TO THE FACT THAT PARTICULARLY
THOSE WHO WOULD DO WELL IN
ONLINE. EDUCATION WILL DO WELL
ON ONLINE EDUCATION BUT IT'S
FREQUENTLY THESE ARE FOLKS WHO
HAVE BEEN UNDER SERVED FOR WHOM
EDUCATION HAS BEEN.
MORE OF A CHALLENGE OR SOMETHING
THAT'S EVEN PERHAPS A BEEN TEN
YEARS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO WHICH IS
WHY THEY WANT TO GET BACK INTO
AND ENOUGH UPDATE AND UPGRADE
THEIR. THEIR TRAINING WHY ARE WE
LOOKING AT A WHOLE NEW CONSTRUCT
RATHER THAN TAKING AND BUILDING
UPON THE THEME IN THE MISSION.
OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
INCENTIVIZING PROGRAMS WITHIN
THEIR EXISTING CURRICULUM OUGHT
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT WITH THOSE
FOLKS WHO ARE.
A CHALLENGE BY AN ONLINE
EDUCATION AND MIGHT NEED
ADDITIONAL HELP WILL BE ASSURED
THAT THEY CAN GET THAT HELP
WITHIN THEIR OWN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE CONSTRUCT.
AND HAVE THAT FACE TO FACE
RELATIONSHIP YOU KNOW I THINK
ONLINE EDUCATION IS TERRIFIC BUT
THERE'S NOTHING LIKE A A WARM
HAND TO HOLD YOU. ON THE WAY UP
OR TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS OR
TO BE ABLE TO INTERACT A I HOPE
WE ARE NOT. JUST GOING TO BE IN
A WORLD WHERE WE TALK TO
COMPUTERS AND NOT TALK TO PEOPLE.
ALTHOUGH PART OF HAVING THAT
ABILITY TO FUNCTION IN A MORE
ONLINE COMPUTER I SETTING IS NOT
A BAD THING NECESSARILY BUT I
DON'T THINK SHOULD BE EXCLUSIVE.
AND IN CREATING THE STATEWIDE
PROGRAM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT.
WHY YOU'RE ADDRESSING AN
IMPORTANT NEED I'M WONDERING IF
THERE MIGHT BE A SOFTER APPROACH
THAT TAKES INTO ACCOUNT WHAT
SOME OF THESE? MORE PROGRESSIVE
I GUESS OF FORWARD THINKING OR
JUST LUCKY SCHOOLS THAT HAVE
RESOURCES. MIGHT MIGHT BE DOING
IN ADDRESSING THIS NEED AND AND
THE CREATION OF AN ONLINE
PROGRAM WHICH IS I THINK. THE
BEST OF THE TECHNO TECHNOLOGICAL
WORLD BUT I WONDER IF IT
COULDN'T BETTER.
AND BE SUCCESSFUL BY
INCORPORATING INTO THIS EXISTING
STRUCTURE THAT WE HAVE.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND I I'M
NOT SURE I CAN SAY FOR ALL THE
ANSWER BUT THAT'S KIND OF THAT'S
ONE QUESTION AND THE OTHER I
THINK WE WERE TRIED BEEN HEARING
FROM MY.
MY MY FRIENDS WHO CFT IN ALL OF
THESE OTHER. GROUPS IS.
A FEAR THAT AND I KNOW YOU KEEP
SAYING WE'RE GOING TO BRING
THOSE GROUPS AND.
IT WOULD SEEM TO ME IF THERE
WERE SOME GREATER ASSURANCES
THAT WORD THAT THIS ISN'T AN
ATTEMPT TO CIRCUMVENT THE.
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING I THINK
THAT'S A REAL CONCERN WHETHER
IT'S REAL OR NOT BUT. I I THINK
THAT THIS IS AN APPREHENSION.
THAT IF YOU COULD ADDRESS THAT I
THINK WOULD ALSO GO A LONG WAY
TOWARDS ACHIEVING THE GOALS THAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO ACHIEVE THOSE
ARE JUST MY TWO THOUGHTS. WERE
VERY QUICKLY ON YOUR LAST POINT
THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY BE
ADDRESSED.
I HAVE NO CONCERN ABOUT THAT IN
A IN A AND I THINK YOU'LL BE
ADDRESSED TO THE SATISFACTION.
OF OUR FRIENDS IN LABOR.
SECONDLY.
ONE. TO TRY QUICKLY ANSWER YOUR
FIRST QUESTION.
ONE WE ALREADY HAVE A. AN
APPROACH TO SCALE UP TRADITIONAL
ONLINE COLLEGE IN THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUTE COLLEGES WHETHER IT'S AN
IMPROPER CITY COLLEGE OR THE
GREAT WORK THAT'S HAPPENING
COASTLINE COLLEGE WHICH. I WOULD
ARGUE IS THE BEST ONLINE COLLEGE
IN THE SYSTEM.
BUT.
.
BUT.
BUT THE ISSUE HERE IS THAT
THESE ARE TRADITIONAL
UNDERGRADUATE COURSES.
THEY ARE NOT DEVELOPED OR DESIGN
IN THE COMPANY BASED ENVIRONMENT
FOR QUICK SKILL ATTAINMENT.
SO WE'RE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO
LEVELS OF INSTRUCTION.
AND. THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE HAS BEEN DESIGNED IN
THIS BODY HAS FUNDED THE ONLINE
EDUCATION INITIATIVE TO
AGGREGATE ALL THAT GREAT CONTENT
IN THE SYSTEM AND MAKE IT
AVAILABLE STATEWIDE. THAT WORK
WILL CONTINUE AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT AND FURTHER
DEVELOP THAT.
SO THAT EVERYONE CAN ACCESS THE
GREAT WORK OF SANTA BARBARA CITY
COLLEGE AS WELL AS COASTLINE AS
WELL AS FOOT HILLS PASADENA
GLENDALE ALL THE GREAT CONTENT
THAT'S BEING DEVELOPED WE DON'T
WANT TO ELIMINATE THAT.
SECOND.
I'M.
SO BECAUSE.
WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS
TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE
EDUCATION WE DON'T FEEL THAT THE
THE HUNDRED FIFTEEN COLLEGE
WOULD COMPETE THERE IT WOULD BE
AN ADDITIONAL A LEARNING
OPPORTUNITY ON THE SPECTRUM OF
EVERYTHING HAT WE OFFER?
SECOND IS THE SCALABILITY WE
NEED A SCALED SOLUTION TO REACH
THE NEEDS. OF THESE.
MILLIONS OF WORKERS MANY OF
WHICH YOU KNOW YOU WILL HEAR
SOME OF WHICH YOU'LL HEAR FROM
TODAY. OTHERS THAT YOU'LL HEAR
FROM IN THE FUTURE HAVE THIS
NEED FOR ECONOMIC MOBILITY IN
THEIR CURRENT. WORKPLACE THAT IS
VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO BREAK
AWAY IN A TEN ONE TWO THREE
SEMESTERS OF INSTRUCTION. SO WE
DON'T SEE THIS AS COMPETITION WE
SEE THIS AS AN ADDITION TO THE
SPECTRUM OF EDUCATION.
.
SO I HOPE SOME OF THAT ADDRESS
AND BE HAPPY TO ADDRESS MORE.
CLEARLY SOME OF YOUR OTHER
CONCERN THANK YOU AND AND I'VE
ASKED MY STAFF TO KEEP LISTING
THIS WILL CONTINUE RIGHT
CONVERSATION I DO APPRECIATE THE
EFFORT VERY VERY MUCH THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR FOR
LETTING ME INTERRUPT HERE THANK
YOU.
SO LET ME JUST FINISH.
ON SOME OF THE POINTS THAT
CENTER JACKSON RACE BECAUSE I
THINK THEIR POINT I'M SURE.
CENTER MORLOCK HE'S AN
IMPORTANT KENO CENTER ALAN YOU
ALL REPRESENT COMMUNITY COLLEGES
IN OUR SYSTEM GREAT COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. THAT I HAVE FOR.
YOU KNOW BEEN FIGHTING FOR FOR
ALL OF MY CAREER. I TOOK CLASSES
A COASTLINE COLLEGE. WHEN I WAS
A STUDENT.
LIKE WHEN I CAME OUT OF THE
MILITARY. I WAS WORKING FULL
TIME RAISING MY DAUGHTER.
I TOOK CLASSES A COASTLINE
COLLEGE WHY. BECAUSE I COULDN'T
BREAK AWAY FROM WORK.
TO GET UP TO SPEED TO CLASSIC
GOLDEN WEST ORANGE COAST.
SO I TOOK CLASSES THE COASTLINE
COLLEGE AND THEY WERE TELLING
COURSES.
AT THE TIME TELE COURSES WERE
INTRODUCED.
PEOPLE SAID THAT THIS IS NOT
QUALITY EDUCATION. THAT THIS IS
JUST AN OPPORTUNITY TO TO REDUCE
THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION IN THE
COAST DISTRICT. AND THERE WAS
ALL SORTS OF CONTROVERSY AROUND
THESE TELE COURSES.
TELE COURSES.
I'M HERE BECAUSE OF THAT
OPPORTUNITY. AND SO ALL WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT HERE IS CREATING
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
CONTINUING TO EXPAND THAT
SPECTRUM OF LEARNING THAT WE
OFFER. INDIVIDUALS THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA WE ARE CERTAINLY HAVE
NO INTENTION OF UNDERMINING THE
GREAT WORK OF THE COLLEGES THAT
YOU ALL REPRESENT WE WANNA
ENHANCE AT WORK AND WE WILL
CONTINUE TO DO SO. SO THAT ENDS
MIGHT MY FORMAL COMMENTS I'M
HAPPY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.
LEO.
THE FIRM I THINK WE HIT AFTER
ANOTHER GOOD AFTERNOON AFTER
ABOUT THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
OFFICE I'M I DID WE DID HAVE A
HANDOUT THAT. PASSED OUT THERE
I'LL DIRECT YOU TO PAGE FIVE I
THINK YOU'VE HEARD PLENTY ABOUT
THE PROPOSAL ITSELF I THINK IT
JUST WANTED TO HIGHLIGHT SOME
COMMENTS WE HAVE.
OUR ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPOSAL
ITSELF. SO I THINK I WOULD START
WITH SAYING THAT WE DON'T HAVE
CONCERNS WITH.
THUS THE STATE TAKING ACTION TO
TRY TO ADDRESS.
INCREASING THE POST SECONDARY
CREDENTIALS ARE THE CREDENTIALS
OF ADULTS WHO DON'T HAVE
SECONDARY EDUCATION WE THINK
THAT'S A GOOD GOAL WE THINK THAT
IS SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP.
A LOT OF ADULTS IN CALIFORNIA
TO BE BETTER I HAVE THE SKILLS
AND TRAINING THAT THEY NEED TO
DO BETTER IN THE WORK FORCE INTO.
A BETTER DEAL WITH A RECESSION
THAT ARE COMING. ON BOARD OUR
CONCERN IS IS THAT THE THE
PROPOSAL ITSELF WITH THE FUN OF.
CONCERN ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT
THIS IS ACTUALLY SOLVING ANY OF
THE PROBLEMS THAT THAT THAT THAT
DEMOGRAPHIC GROUP PASS.
I'M SO WHEN WE WE DO KNOW THAT
THERE IS THIS POPULATION THAT
DOESN'T HAVE THOSE CREDENTIALS
WHAT WE DON'T HAVE FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION IS ANY. SENSE OF
WHY THIS GROUP OF PEOPLE ARE NOT.
ENGAGED IN IN.
INCREASING THEIR EDUCATION AND
HOW THIS IS SPECIFICALLY GONNA
SOLVE OF BEARS AND I THINK THAT
IS OUR FUNDAMENTAL CONCERN WE
THINK IF YOU'RE GONNA SPEND. A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS TO BUILD THIS UP YOU
SHOULD HAVE A CLEAR SENSE THAT
THIS IS GOING TO BE ALIGNED TO
SOLVE SOME OF THOSE PROBLEMS.
SO FOR EXAMPLE WE WOULD LIKE TO
HAVE A BETTER SENSE OF
UNDERSTANDING OF IT WHAT WHAT IS
WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE THE
PROGRAMS THAT ARE ARE THAT
EXISTS RIGHT NOW IN THE COLLEGES.
THAT DO NOT ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF
THESE ADULTS.
ALL COMMUNITY COLLEGES ACROSS
THE STATE HAVE SHORT TERM
PROGRAMS THAT ARE THAT ARE.
TRYING TO SERVE THE NEEDS OF
THIS PARTICULAR DEMOGRAPHIC-GROUP.
AND SO THAT THERE ARE BIGGER
OVERARCHING CONCERN IN TERMS OF
OUR WE HAVE TWO MORE PRACTICAL
CONCERNS THAT WE WOULD KNOW WHAT
ONE. IS A IF THE THE IDEA IS
THAT THIS IS A UPHOLD A PROGRAM
THAT'S GOING TO BE MOSTLY ONLINE
BUT THAT WOULD HAVE A HANDS ON
COMPONENT. AND THAT IT'S GOING
TO BE SCALED STATEWIDE AND THEN
YOU NEED TO HAVE HAD THE THIS
HANDS ON OPPORTUNITIES
EVERYWHERE ACROSS THE STATE AND
WE DO THINK THIS IS A LOGISTICAL
CHALLENGE FOR ONE. ONLINE
COLLEGE TO HAVE PARTNERSHIPS ALL
ACROSS THE STATE MOST OF OUR
INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS HAVE BEEN
DONE AT THE REGIONAL LEVEL WE
HAVE. ADULT CONSORTIA WE HAVE
STRONG WORK FORCE. THAT WE HAVE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE ON THEIR
OWN TO DEVELOP THOSE IN SO ARE
HAVING THIS OTHER LAYER AT THE
STATEWIDE LEVEL CAN BE FAIRLY
CHALLENGING AND IF YOU CAN'T
BUBBLES PARTNERSHIP THAT YOU
DON'T HAVE A STATEWIDE PROGRAM
THAT REACHES EVERYONE.
THE OTHER CONCERN I THINK WE
WERE JUST HIGHLIGHTED BY
CHOOSING TO TO CREATE A NEW
COLLEGE YOU DO HAVE LARGER UP
FRONT BECAUSE YOU'RE. YOU'RE
BUILDING UP A WHOLECOLLEGE FROM
SCRATCH. ARM YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
TO GO OUT AND SEEK ACCREDITATION
WHICH EANS INITIALLY OUR
STUDENTS DON'T HAVE ACCESS. TO
FEDERAL FINANCIAL AID SILLY SO
IT DOES IT DOES INCREASE KIND OF
IT IT'S GONNA TAKE LONGER TO TO
BUILD A FLOP.
SO WE HAVE JUST A COUPLE ISSUES
THAT WE WOULD HAVE IF WE HAVE A
SPECIFIC RECOMMENDATION ON THIS
JUST A COUPLE ISSUES FOR
CONSIDERATION AGAIN I THINK WE
THINK THAT SOME OF THE. THE GOAL
OF TRYING TO SERVE THIS
POPULATION MAKES SENSE. SOME OF
THE SPECIFIC ELEMENTS OF THE
PROPOSAL WE'VE BEEN KIND OF
BENEFITS IN PARTICULAR THAT. THE
ISSUE OF COMPETENCY BASED
EDUCATION IS SOMETHING WE HAVE
HEARD ABOUT AND WE HAVE HEARD
SPECIFIC CONCERNS ABOUT FOR
EXAMPLE PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED.
IT THROUGH THEIR WORK OR IN THE
MILITARY THAT HAVE SOME.
EXPERIENCE BUT THAT THEY DON'T
HAVE THE ABILITY TO SOAR
DEMONSTRATE THAT WHEN THEY GO TO
A COMMUNICATIVE AND THEY'RE KIND
OF STUCK.
STARTING FROM SCRATCH FOUND
THAT THE COMPETENCY BASED
PROGRAMS ALSO COULD HELP.
STUDENTS GET THE PROGRAMS
QUICKER WE THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT IS DEFINITELY
WORTH EXPLORING WE DON'T THINK
IT HAS TO HAPPEN THROUGH AN
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAPPEN
THROUGH OTHER WAYS. BUT WE DO
THINK THAT THERE ARE ELEMENTS OF
THE PROPOSAL THAT YOU MIGHT WANT
TO CONSIDER WAYS FOR FOR FOR
IMPROVING THE SYSTEM.
SO WE THINK THAT SOME OF THESE
CHANGES COULD BE SYSTEM WIDE IT
COULD BE WAYS THAT YOU CAN
ENCOURAGE SOME OF THESE
ACTIVITIES TOOK HER. ARM ACROSS
THE SYSTEM FOR EXAMPLE BY
CHANGING ARE. ONE OF THE ISSUES
THE COMPETENCY BASED PROGRAMS IS
THAT THEY DON'T ALIGN TO THE
TRADITIONAL. CALENDAR AND
THEREFORE OUR OUR OUR SYSTEM FOR
FOR FUNDING DOESN'T QUITE WORK
FOR THEM SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO
MAKE CHANGES AND IN THAT REGARD.
SO AGAIN WE THINK THE KEY
QUESTION IS FIGURING OUT WHAT
ARE THE SPECIFIC BARRIERS EXIST
THAT YOU WANT TO THANK YOU RICHARD. JETHRO
OAKLEY I I JUST WISH YOU WERE
MORE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT THIS.
PROJECT. RIGHT RIGHT.
.
THE TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
AND SO I THAT'S YOU KNOW JUST
TRYING TO.
AND ID LIKE I'VE GOT TO USE
THESE IN THE. SHOES MADE. THE
DYNO WHEREBY THE SEAS YEAH
KIDDING. AN ABORIGINAL RESIDENT
BOTH ON A.
SO I'M I'M I'M TRYING TO PUT IT
ALL INTO PERSPECTIVE AND. YOU
KNOW WHY A WHOLE NEW BUREAUCRACY
AND.
YOU KNOW NEW BOARD OF GOVERNORS.
AND SO.
I'M JUST A JUST A THREE QUICK
QUESTIONS I GUESS ONE IS.
.
I GET I WAS GIVEN A PACKET OF
ALL WONDERFUL SUPPORTIVE LETTERS.
BUT I DON'T SEE A LETTER FROM.
ANY BOARD OF.
OF A SCHOOL OF A OF A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
OR A COLLECTION BASIS I SEE
TEACHERS AND SOME INDIVIDUALS.
BUT I'M NOT SEEING A COLLECTIVE.
WE'RE ALL BEHIND THIS THOUGHT
HOW IS THAT INITIATIVE. WORKING.
SO IS IT IS YOU ARE WHERE THERE
ARE A NUMBER OF PROPOSALS
REGARDING THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNICATIVE FROM FUN FOR ME TO
ONLINE COLLEGE. AND WE ARE
WORKING HARD TO ENSURE THAT. WE
BRING TOGETHER THE
CONSTITUENCIES GIVE HIM AN
OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR FROM US WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO WHY WE'RE
TRYING TO DO THIS.
GIVE THEM OPPORTUNITY GIVE US
INPUT AND SHARE THEIR CONCERNS
WITH US SO WE HAVE BEEN ACTIVELY
PARTICIPATING IN THAT PROCESS
AND YES THERE HAVE BEEN
INDIVIDUAL. COLLEGE PRESIDENTS
BOARD MEMBERS FACULTY MEMBERS.
WHO HAVE EXPRESSED THEIR
SUPPORT? OF BUT. I'M NOT AWARE
THAT A A COLLEGE DISTRICT YET
HAS TAKEN A POSITION ONE WAY OR
ANOTHER MANY OF THE
ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT
THEM. AND IN THIS CASE.
OF THE LEAGUE FOR.
THE COMMITTEE BECAUSE LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA WHICH HAS A
REPUTATION FOR BOTH THE COLLEGE
OF PRESIDENTS AS WELL AS THE
BOARD MEMBERS. WE HAVE BEEN
DIRECTLY ENGAGE WITH US TO TRY
AND ENSURE THAT INFORMATION. A
SO WE CONTINUE TO DO THAT AND WE
WILL CONTINUE TO DO THAT. AS A
MATTER OF FACT THE THE PRESIDENT.
FROM COASTLINE COLLEGES LED AN
EFFORT. TO TO BUILD. A SERIES OF
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM COLLEGE
CEOS AND SHARED IT WITH US AND
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO INCORPORATE
THAT INTO. OUR DESIGN PRINCIPLES
SO WE TAKE VERY SERIOUSLY THAT
INPUT.
I CAN'T SPEAK SPECIFICALLY WHY
A BOARD AS IN ALL AS IN TOTAL
HAS NOT TAKEN A POSITION YET.
BUT WE CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN AND
WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE INPUT
FROM THE.
WELL DENNIS HARKINS FROM OCC IS
AN INCREDIBLE RESOURCE AND YES A
REAL STAR. SORT OF BEEN IN THIS.
WORLD. WITH A YOU KNOW A
DIFFERENT PRIVATE COLLEGE KIND
OF STRUCTURE BUT VERY SIMILAR.
YOU HAVE SEVEN TWO DISTRICTS
AND NEXT YEAR IN JUNE ON THEIR.
COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL
REPORTS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
INCLUDE WHAT THE RETIREE MEDICAL
IS. YES DO YOU HAVE ANY.
ESTIMATE OF WHAT THAT MIGHT BE
CUMULATIVELY FOR THE THE
DISTRICTS I DON'T HAVE THAT AT
THE TOP OF MY HEAD BUT IS A BIG
NUMBER I MEAN HAVING COME FROM
ONE OF THOSE DISTRICTS.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE
STRUGGLING DESPERATELY WITH.
AND.
I THINK IT'S IT'S AN ISSUE THAT
WE NEED TO TAKE ON DIRECTLY.
OTHERWISE IT IS GOING TO CAUSE A
MAJOR FINANCIAL DRAG.
ON OUR COLLEGE DISTRICT'S
ABILITY TO SERVE OUR STUDENTS.
SO HASTINGS JUST TOLD US THIS
MORNING THERE'S WAS JUST FOR WAS
FOURTY MILLION JUST FOR ONE
RIGHT.
YOU KNOW SMALL CAMPUS.
SO I'M SITTING HERE GOING KATE.
WE'VE GOT SOME OTHER ISSUES YOU
KNOW BEFORE WE START SOMETHING
NEW AND FRESH AND EXCITING.
WE'VE GOT SOME THINGS THAT ARE
OUT THERE KIND OF LIKE A CLOUD
ON THE HORIZON COME IN ADDIS.
AND I'M JUST KIND OF. CURIOUS
HOW WE FIT THAT ALL RIGHT
TOGETHER SO IF IT AND I THINK
THAT IS A VERY. LEGITIMATE
CONCERN ON BEHALF OF THE STATE.
AND THE SYSTEM OF COMMUNICABLE
EDGES THAT WE REPRESENT.
BUT I I'D ASK YOU TO THINK ABOUT
IT THIS WAY AS WELL.
.
IF WE JUST STOP TRYING TO SERVE
OF THE INCREASING NEEDS OF
WORKERS.
AND THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO
ARE TAX PAIN. WORKING FAMILIES
IN THE ECONOMY RIGHT NOW.
IF WE CAN GIVE THEM GREATER
OPPORTUNITY FOR SOCIAL MOBILITY
THAT WE WILL FURTHER LOSE THAT
TAX BASE AND MAKE OUR PROBLEM
EVEN WORSE.
IT AND SO.
AS YOU CAN AS I'M SURE YOU'RE
AWARE PART OF THE CHALLENGES
THAT WE FACE NOT ONLY IS THAT
LIABILITY BUT WHAT THE
INVESTMENT RETURNS ARE ON THE
MONEY THAT WE HAVE. PUT ASIDE
MANY OF OUR DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN
PUTTING THAT MONEY ASIDE SO.
HAVING A HEALTHY ECONOMY IS
CRITICAL TO ENSURING THAT WE CAN
CONTINUE TO PAY DOWN THAT
LIABILITY. SO WE THINK THAT WE
SHOULD AND CAN DO BOTH.
CONTINUE TO BUILD UP NOT WITH A
A A AND I AND I WOULD ARGUE THAT
WE'RE NOT CREATING A BRAND NEW
BUREAUCRACY WE'RE BUILDING ON
THE EXISTING BUREAUCRACY. WE'RE
NOT BUILDING A BRAND NEW BRICK
AND MORTAR COLLEGE.
WE'RE TAKING IN A LOT OF THE
INVESTMENTS THAT HAVE ALREADY
BEEN MADE ONLINE EDUCATION AND
BUILDING ON THAT WE'RE TAKING
THE EXISTING BOARD OF GOVERNORS
STRUCTURE.
AND NOT CREATING A NEW.
BOARD OF TRUSTEES WERE TAKE
WE'RE TRYING TO USE EXISTING
INFRASTRUCTURE. OF THE BUT AT
THE END OF THE DAY WE FEEL THAT
IT'S INCUMBENT UPON US AS PART
OF OUR MISSION.
TO TRY AND DEAL WITH THE CHANGES
IN THE WORK FORCE ARE HAPPENING
INSURE THAT WORKING FAMILIES
HAVE ACCESS. TO THE KINDS OF
SKILLS THEY NEED IN ORDER TO
STAY EMPLOYED OR TO INCREASE
THEIR EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
SAY THERE THERE IS A LACK OF
PASSION AGAIN.
THANK YOU CHANDLER OAKLEY THANK
YOU SENATOR.
THANK YOU MR.
WE'VE BEEN JOINED BY MY
COLLEAGUE MISTER ALLEN I'M SURE
YOU HAVE SOME QUESTIONS.
ARE YOU HERE AS AN OBSERVER OR
MAINLY LEISURE OR I'M I'M I'M.
YOU KNOW THIS IS OBVIOUSLY AN
ENORMOUS. CHANGE IN OUR MODEL
AND I'M.
I GUESS I'D LOVE WOULD YOU WOULD
YOU COULD YOU MAYBE DIRECTLY
RESPOND TO SOME OF THE IDEAS.
DIRECT CONCERNS THAT THE YOU
KNOW PROPOSED SOLUTION IS NOT
TIED TO READ ISSUES THAT.
THERE'S LACK OF CLARITY ABOUT
HOW STATEWIDE INDUSTRY
PARTNERSHIPS TO BE DEVELOPED.
.
YEAH THERE'S ALWAYS DRAWBACKS
ASSOCIATED WITH CREATING NEW
COLLEGE COMPARED TO WORK WITHIN
THE EXISTING SYSTEM. I KNOW
YOU'VE TALKED ABOUT THAT BUT
SURE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU
DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE ALLEY AS
CONCERNED.
WELL WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE AND
RESPECT THE WORK THAT THE LA WAS
PUT INTO THIS.
AND HAVE TAKEN SERIOUSLY THE
CONCERNS THAT THEY HAVE
EXPRESSED.
I WOULD I WOULD SAY.
.
FIRST ON THE ISSUE OF THE ROOT
CAUSES I THINK THAT.
.
WARM.
APPS THAT DIDN'T COMPLETE COME
OUT WHEN THIS.
PROPOSAL FIRST CAME OUT IN
WRITING WE CERTAINLY HAVE BEEN
TAKING QUITE A BIT OF TIME.
LOOKING AT THE ROOT CAUSE OF.
YOU KNOW THE CHANGING NATURE OF
AND THE FUTURE OF WORK.
AND THE ISSUES THAT ARE
PREVENTING.
WORKING AGE ADULTS FROM ACCESS
IN OUR COLLEGES.
.
THIS IS A POPULATION THAT WE
ARE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THAT WE
FEEL THAT THE ROOT CAUSE IS.
THE INABILITY TO STOP WHAT
THEY'RE DOING.
AND ATTEND COLLEGE EITHER PART
TIME OR FULL TIME.
.
WE THINK THAT WE'VE GOT TO ADAPT
IN WAYS THAT ALLOW FOR GREATER
ACCESS.
TO THE KINDS OF SKILLS THAT OUR
FACULTY ARE BEST.
SITUATED TO OFFER. US SO. I
THINK WE ARE TRYING TO WRESTLE
WITH THOSE ROOT CAUSES I'M NOT
SAYING THAT WE HAVE A PERFECT
SOLUTION FOR ALL TWO AND A HALF
MILLION WORKERS. A BY NO MEANS
ARE WE SAYING THAT BUT WE THINK
THAT THIS IS ONE SOLUTION.
THAT WE THINK COULD BEGIN TO
ADDRESS THE NEED.
I'M.
SECONDLY. I THINK CERTAINLY YOU
KNOW THERE THERE ARE CONCERNS
ABOUT.
CREATING A BRAND NEW COLLEGE.
BUT WE HAVE CREATED A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN SO FAR OF. WITH OR
WITHOUT THE ONLINE COLLEGE WE
WILL HAVE THE HUNDRED FIFTEEN
COLLEGE OF MORE THAN LIKELY IN
MADERA IN THE NEAR FUTURE. US SO
WE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD
COLLEGES TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE. IS
YES I THINK ABOUT HOW TO CREATE
ONE MORE. SPACE ON THE SPECTRUM
OF SERVICES THAT WE OFFER
CALIFORNIANS NOT TO REPLACE OR
DISPLACE EXISTING OPTIONS BUT TO
ADD AN OPTION.
SO WE WILL CONTINUE TO CERTAINLY
WORK WITH THE LA O. AND CONTINUE
TRYING TO DRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
AND ULTIMATELY THE QUESTION
BECOMES IS THE LEGISLATURE
WILLING TO INVEST IN SOMETHING.
THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
HISTORY WITH BECAUSE IT IS NEW.
AND.
WHAT I WOULD SAY TO THAT IS
THAT WE ARE CREATING IT IN A WAY?
THAT'S ACCOUNTABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
BECAUSE IT IS A PUBLIC SYSTEM.
OF THESE NEEDS ARE GOING TO BE
ADDRESSED BY SOMEBODY. IN SOME
INSTITUTION.
THEY ARE BEING DEALT WITH AND
ADDRESSED NOW BY MANY FOR PROFIT
INSTITUTIONS AND SO. WHAT I
WOULD SAY IS WHO WHILE?
?
WE CERTAINLY DON'T DON'T PROFESS
TO HAVE EVERY ANSWER. OF.
FULLY ADDRESSED BUT WHAT WE ARE
SAYING IS THAT WE WILL BE
ACCOUNTABLE TO YOU.
IN A WAY WHERE WE CAN CONTINUE
TO ADDRESS THE CONCERNS THAT
HAVE BEEN RAISED BY THE LA SHOW.
AND DEMONSTRATE PUBLICLY AND
TRANSPARENTLY. THAT WE HAVE
TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND THAT WE HAVE
DEALT WITH THEM AND THAT WE ARE
CONTINUE TO WORK THROUGH THEM. I
THINK THAT MEAN THAT
ACCOUNTABILITY QUESTION IS IT IS
A TOUGH ONE IT BECAUSE.
UNLIKE EVERY OTHER COLLEGE BOARD
WHICH HAS DIRECT ACCOUNTABILITY
THE VOTERS OR IN THE CASE OF THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS THERE'S A.
THERE'S A MORE DIRECT
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM BOTH OF
THE SYSTEM AND TO THE
LEGISLATURE IN THIS CASE YOU'RE
SUGGESTING THAT THE. CREATION OF
A STANDALONE SEPARATE BOARD AND.
.
AND AS WE'VE SEEN WITH THESE
KINDS OF STANDALONE BOARDS IN
OTHER AREAS OF THE STATE
GOVERNMENT THERE. ARE VARYING
DEGREES ACCOUNTABILITY THE
LEGISLATURE.
TO THAT'S I KNOW ONE CONCERN
BUT WE ARE CERTAINLY OPEN TO HOW
THAT WOULD BEST BE STRUCTURED TO
ENSURE THAT THAT ACCOUNTABILITY
IS THERE A MAN.
I KNOW SPEAKING FOR THE BOARD
OF GOVERNORS OF THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS EXPECTS TO HOLD.
YOU KNOW THIS NEW ENTITY
ACCOUNTABLE.
AND SO WE'RE CERTAINLY OPEN TO
TWO OTHER WAYS TO ADDRESS THAT.
YEAH SO I I GUESS I MEAN THE LA
OPEN EXPLICITLY MAKES I
UNDERSTAND.
THE BROADER ISSUE OF GREATER
ACCESS TO WORKING PEOPLE AND THE
FLEXIBILITY CELLS WITH ONLINE
BUT THE ALLEY S SPECIFICALLY
SAYS THAT THE ADMINISTRATION.
HAS NOT PROVIDED EVIDENCE THAT
WORKING ADULTS WHO ARE
INTERESTED MORE EDUCATION CANNOT
ACCESS IT THROUGH EXISTING
ONLINE.
OR IN PERSECUTED BECAUSE
PROGRAMS AND. IT'S SORT OF AN
ASSERTION IT'S MADE.
BY YOU THAT.
DID YOU HAVE THIS WILL THIS WILL
HELP.
AND I I SUPPOSE MAYBE THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF SENSE THAT IF
YOU CREATE A PROGRAM IT'LL
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL ACCESS BUT.
YOU KNOW HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU
RESPOND TO THAT DIRECT ASSERTION
THE IDEAS ARE FOR. SO.
FIRST OF ALL.
I THINK. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER
A CALIFORNIA COMPETES.
RECENTLY PUBLISHED A REPORT
FOCUSING ON THIS THIS QUESTION
IN IDENTIFYING. THE KINDS OF
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE IN THIS TWO
AND A HALF MILLION.
DEMOGRAPHIC GROUP AND I THINK
THEY HAVE CLEARLY ARTICULATED
THAT. THESE INDIVIDUALS OF. YOU
KNOW MANY OF WHICH ARE WORKING
FULL TIME MANY OF WHICH ARE
MAKING LESS THAN TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND ANNUALLY HAVE NO
HEALTHCARE. ARE STRUGGLING JUST
TO SURVIVE IN THE ECONOMY AND
AND SO. THEY WENT ON TO SUGGEST
THAT ONLINE EDUCATION.
COULD CERTAINLY HELP STRANDED
WORKERS GET THE EDUCATION AND
TRAINING THEY NEED SO WE HAVE
RELIED. ON MANY OTHER
ORGANIZATIONS NOT JUST. YOU KNOW
THE CALIFORNIA COLLEGES.
IN OUR TRANCERS OFFICE TO TRY
TO IDENTIFY THIS POPULATION WE
CONTINUE TO GAIN ACCESS TO MORE
MORE DATA ABOUT HOW THESE ADULTS.
ACTUALLY PERFORMING A COMEDY
BASED ENVIRONMENT.
IT WAS JUST A REPORT RELEASED.
TODAY ABOUT.
A ISSUE AND THE WORK THAT
THEY'RE DOING REAL SALATA
COLLEGE IN ARIZONA.
SO WE CONTINUE TO BUILD UPON ALL
THAT RESEARCH AND THEN THE OTHER
THING I WOULD SAY IS.
YOU KNOW MANY OF THESE WORKERS
ARE THE ONES THAT WE'RE DIRECTLY
LISTENING TO.
WHETHER THEY ARE WITH A LOT OF
LABOR ORGANIZATION EMPLOYER.
.
WE ARE GETTING FEEDBACK DIRECTLY
FROM THEM AND WE'VE BEEN UP AND
DOWN THE STATE. OF WHETHER IT'S.
SITTING DOWN WITH GROUPS LIKE
US YEAH YOU YOU H. W. S. YEAH
YOU ONE THOUSAND.
THE BUILDING TRADES AND WE HAVE
HEARD DIRECTLY FROM THEM THE
NEEDS OF THEIR WORKERS AND
THAT'S HOW WE'RE TRYING TO
ADDRESS THIS AS WELL SO WE
CERTAINLY RELIANCE SUPPORT. THE
EVIDENCE THAT THEY'VE BEEN
SHARING WITH US.
SURE I GUESS I GUESS I'M I'M I'M
I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE BUILDING ON
RESEARCH I GET THAT.
BUT.
BUT I I THINK THE ESSENTIAL FROM
THE BURDEN OF PROOF IS ON YOU
WHEN YOU'RE ASKING FOR A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR UP FRONT PAY OUT
AND ALL THE COSTS AND EXPENSES
AND. A BREAK WITH A MODEL THAT
WE'VE HAD BEFORE.
I.
TO TEST TO SHOW I SUPPOSE WHY IT
IS THAT WE CAN'T.
WHY IT IS ULTIMATELY SO
IMPRACTICAL FOR US TO TO TO WORK
WITHIN THE EXISTING STRUCTURE?
ARE THE ONLINE SIDE. AND IT'S
NOT THAT I'M IT'S NOT THERE.
WITHOUT THE YEAR YOU DON'T HAVE
A GOOD CASE TO MAKE ASSISTED.
IF. YOU'RE ASKING US TO PUT
ABOUT A TON OF MONEY.
AND GO OFF AND IT DIDN'T A
BRAND NEW DIRECTION.
AND AT AND I'M I'M I'M WORRIED
ABOUT THE.
EXTENT TO WHICH THE THE THE
RESEARCHER BUILDING ON OR THE
CASE YOU'RE MAKING IS JUST. NOT
QUITE STRONG ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY.
SUCH A BREAK.
IN SUCH AN EXPENDITURE AND
THAT'S I GUESS THAT'S ONE
PROBLEM WITH GET GIVEN THE FACT
WE'VE GOT A LOT OF OUR COLLEGES
OUT THERE THAT ARE INNOVATING.
IN THE ONLINE SPACE.
WHAT I'M?
SO FIRST OF ALL I WOULD SUGGEST.
THAT WHEN. THIS LEGISLATURE
SUPPORTED AND AND AND PASS THE
PROPOSAL FOR THE ONLINE
EDUCATION INITIATIVE.
MANY OF THESE QUESTIONS CAME UP
AT.
NO WHY WOULD WE INVEST AS MUCH
MONEY.
WHEN OUR COLLEGES ARE ALREADY
CREATING ONLINE CONTENT WHY
WOULD WE PAY FOR. ANOTHER
ORGANIZATION TO PULL TOGETHER
ALL THIS ONLINE CONTENT.
AND AND THE REASON FOR THAT WAS
BECAUSE ONE AT THE TIME I THINK
MANY PEOPLE QUESTION. THE GROWTH
IN ONLINE EDUCATION. AND IN
RETROSPECT WE SEE TODAY THAT THE
GROWTH IN ONLINE EDUCATION IS
OUTPACING. THE GROWTH IN
TRADITIONAL EDUCATION IN OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES THERE ARE
MORE STUDENTS THERE'S A GREATER
GROWTH IN THE MUD NUMBER OF
STUDENTS TAKING ONLINE COURSES.
THEN THERE ARE IN THE GROWTH OF
STUDENTS TAKING TRADITIONAL
BRICK AND MORTAR COURSES.
SO.
BACK THEN YOU KNOW WE HAD
SIMILAR ARGUMENTS WHY WE NEED TO
AGGREGATE ALL THIS WHY WE NEED A
NEW BRA CHRISSY. AND THE REASON
WHY WE SETTLED ON AS BECAUSE.
WE WANTED TO BEGIN TO BUILD AND
SUPPORT THIS SPECIFIC NEED AND
THAT GROUP THE ONLINE EDUCATION
ISSUES CONTINUE TO DO GREAT
THINGS.
ENSURING THE QUALITY OF THE
EDUCATION IS BEING DELIVERED.
AND PROMOTING IT THROUGHOUT THE
STATE AND BUILDING A PROGRAM OF
STUDY THAT CAN BE TAKEN
COMPLETELY ONLINE AND THEY WILL
CONTINUE TO DO THAT WORK.
THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT ANYONE
COLLEGE COULDN'T DO IT BY
THEMSELVES BUT THE REALITY IS WE
ARE ASKING EVERYONE OF OUR
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES TO DO
MANY THINGS RIGHT NOW.
WHETHER IT'S ADULT. BASIC AS
ADULT EDUCATION WHETHER IT IS
DEALING WITH WORKFORCE TRAINING.
OUR WEATHER IS DEALING WITH
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF
STUDENTS TRANSFERRING TO UC AND
CSU.
US SO.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE BEST USE OF
CALIFORNIA'S DOLLARS WOULD BE TO
FOCUS IT DIRECTLY ON THE NEEDS
OF THESE ADULT WORKERS IN A WAY
THAT COULD BE SCALED. IN IN A
WAY THAT COULD REACH GREATEST
NUMBER OF WORKERS AND BE
ACCOUNTABLE SPECIFICALLY FOR
THAT INVESTMENT.
IF. WE ASK OUR COLLEGES IT WILL
BE VERY DIFFICULT TO SAY THAT WE
ARE HOLDING. THE ENTIRE
COMMUNICATIVE SYSTEM ACCOUNTABLE
FOR A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
BECAUSE IT IS SPREAD THROUGHOUT
THE SYSTEM AND WHILE THEY MAY BE
GREAT THINGS HAPPENING IN
POCKETS THROUGHOUT THE STATE IT
WOULD BE VERY HARD FOR US TO SAY.
THAT IS BEING SCALED IN A WAY
THAT'S REACHING ALL THESE
WORKERS SO THAT'S.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING.
THANK YOU.
.
THANK YOU FOR.
BEING HERE AND I ECHO MY.
.
CALLING ON THE SERVICE ON THE
LAUGHS.
.
COMPLIMENT FOR YOUR PASSION FOR
THIS I DON'T THINK ANYBODY
QUESTIONS THAT YOU REALLY REALLY
BELIEVE IN THIS AND HAVE A
PERSONAL CONNECTION.
TO TO THE BENEFITS AND THAT YOU
WANT TO HELP A COHORT OF
CALIFORNIANS WHO WHO NEED HELP.
I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WOULD
DISAGREE THAT THE FOR PROFIT
SECTOR.
IS GOING AFTER THIS COHORT.
AND MAY NOT HAVE AS GOOD A
PROGRAMMING IS WE CAN OFFER.
THROUGH. PUBLIC COMMUNITY
COLLEGES SO I I DEFINITELY THINK.
THIS IS AN INCREASED.
.
OR OR A SEGMENT OF EDUCATION IS
GOING TO THE DEMAND IS GOING TO
CONTINUE INCREASE AND THERE ARE
SIGNIFICANT NEED.
AND SO I THINK ALL OF THE GOALS
ARE LAUDABLE AND ALL OF THE. THE
MOTIVATIONS ARE LAUDABLE I THINK
THE QUESTION AND MY MY COLLEAGUE
TO THE RIGHT.
IS IS DRAWING DOWN IS ARE WE
GOING ABOUT. GETTING AT THAT
GOAL IN THE BEST. MANNER AND I
THINK YOU KNOW THERE'S OBVIOUSLY
THERE'S THE GLOBAL QUESTIONS ON
OVERSIGHT. ON.
GOVERNANCE
AND YOU KNOW WHAT THOSE ARE
SERIOUS. QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS.
THAT I BELIEVE THE THE
DEPARTMENT AND THE
ADMINISTRATION IN YOUR TRYING TO
WORK OUT.
AND YOU KNOW I WOULD ENCOURAGE.
LOOKING AT. A MODEL OF
GOVERNANCE THAT HAS OVERSIGHT
THAT HAS A CONNECTION TO ELECTED
BOARD MEMBERS. TRY TO FIND OUT A
HYBRID APPROACH THAT HAS.
YOU KNOW HAS THOSE TYPE OF.
CONNECTIONS AND WHICH SORT OF
BRINGS ME TO TO SOME OTHER SORT
OF DRAWING DOWN. QUESTIONS.
YOU KNOW WE KNOW. RIGHT NOW IS
THAT THROUGH THE.
ONLINE INITIATIVE WE KNOW THAT
WITH CTE COURSES.
THERE IS A GAP BETWEEN CLASSROOM.
COURSES IN ONLINE COURSES SO FOR
EXAMPLE.
INTERNET. INTERNET BASED ONLINE
EDUCATION ONLY THE SUCCESS RATE
WAS SIXTY FIVE PERCENT.
AND FREE IN PERSON INSTRUCTIONS
AT SEVENTY NINE PERCENT.
AND WHEN WE GO TO YOU KNOW
DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHICS FOR
AFRICAN AMERICAN HISPANIC
STUDENTS.
ONLINE IS SIXTY SEVEN PERCENT
SUCCESS.
CLASSROOM AT SEVENTY SIX
PERCENT.
.
SO TO ME.
IF WE'RE GONNA INVEST RESOURCES.
TWO THINGS AGE SHOULDN'T WE
PUTTING IN PUTTING BE PUTTING AN
EFFORT INTO. MAKING THE EXISTING
COURSES MORE SUCCESSFUL AND
BETTER. FOR LACK OF A BETTER WAY
OF SAYING IT.
AND AS YOU ENVISION THIS.
GOING INTO IT WE SHOULD HAVE A
STRATEGY BECAUSE AGAIN THIS IS A
FRANKLY A DIFFICULT COVERT WORK
TARGETING.
WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE SOME
OF THE SAME ISSUES? SHOULD WE
NOT HAVE A STRATEGY TO MAKE SURE
IT SUCCESSFUL. AT THE OUTSET.
SINCE WE KNOW STATISTICALLY
THERE'S CHALLENGES ALREADY FROM
WHAT WE'RE DOING SO THAT'S ONE
QUESTION WHY ARE WE PUTTING
EFFORT INTO DOING WHAT WE'RE
DOING BETTER. AND MORE
SUCCESSFUL. AND IF THAT'S NOT
GOING TO BE THE CASE HOW ARE YOU
TO ENSURE THAT THIS IS GOING TO
BE SUCCESSFUL.
WITH THE RATE COMPARABLE TO
CLASSROOM.
SUCCESS
FROM THE OUTSET.
SO LET ME TACKLE YOUR FIRST
QUESTION.
YOUR SECOND QUESTION FIRST.
I THINK.
AS FINANCE.
.
DESCRIBED.
THEN THERE IS.
A CRITICAL COMPONENT BEING BAKED
INTO THIS ONLINE COLLEGE WHICH
IS PUTTING IN A ROWBOAT ROBUST.
RESEARCH AND EVALUATION
COMPONENT.
UP FRONT.
THAT WILL NOT ONLY ENSURE THAT
THE INNOVATIONS THAT OCCUR BUT
THAT ALL THE LEARNING ALL THE
ASSESSMENT ALL THE EVALUATION.
OF HOW STUDENTS ARE DOING FROM
ACROSS SPECTRUMS RACE ETHNICITY
GENDER.
JOB CATEGORY CAN. ONLY BE USED
AND SHARED BY THE ONLINE COLLEGE
BUT CAN BE USED AND SHARED WITH
THE ENTIRE SYSTEM.
WE THINK THAT THIS IS. ANOTHER.
ASPECT THAT MAKES THIS A VERY
DIFFERENT.
KIND OF COLLEGE. THAT UP FRONT
WE ARE SAYING THAT WE ARE GOING
TO INVEST IN RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT.
THAT ONLY. HOW THE STUDENTS ARE
DOING BUT WHAT KINDA LEARNING
WORKS BEST FOR DIFFERENT TYPES
OF STUDENTS?
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT'S VERY
DIFFICULT TO DO.
IN OUR EXISTING COLLEGES
BECAUSE MOST OF THE RESEARCH
EFFORTS ARE GOING TO IMPROVE THE
VERY THING THAT YOU JUST
MENTIONED. WE HAVE A SERIOUS
PROBLEM.
IN TERMS OF THE EQUITY GAPS THAT
EXIST IN OUR TRADITIONAL.
A BRICK AND MORTAR CLASSROOMS.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE
HIGHLIGHTED IN THE VISION FOR
SUCCESS FOR THE CALIFORNIA ME
COLLEGES WE ARE KEENLY AWARE AND
FOCUS AND INVESTED IN CLOSING
THOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.
WITH THE ONLINE COLLEGE
INITIATIVE THEY HAVE DONE
TREMENDOUS WORK TO BEGIN TO
CLOSE THOSE GAPS.
SO THAT WORK WILL AND SHOULD
AND MUST CONTINUE.
BUT WHAT WE'RE SAYING WITH A
HUNDRED FIFTEENTH COLLEGE IS WE
ARE GOING TO TRY TO ADDRESS THAT
UP FRONT KNOWING. IS THAT WE
NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF
ADDRESSING THE THE DIFFERENT
PERSONAL NEEDS. OF THE DIFFERENT
TYPES OF LEARNERS THAT WILL BE
INTERACTING WITH THE COLLEGE AND
I GUESS WHAT I'M SAYING IS I'D
LIKE THAT PLAN.
TO BE PART OF. THE PLAN.
FROM THE OUTSET NOT SOMETHING
THAT WE. COME BACK HERE THREE
YEARS FROM NOW AND SAY.
WE'VE IDENTIFIED A PROBLEM WHICH
WE'VE ALREADY IDENTIFIED AND
IT TO
SAY THIS IS A PROBLEM.
AND YES WE DO HAVE ENOUGH ONLINE
COURSES THAT WE KNOW WHAT CHURCH
YOU KNOW WE SHOULD BE ADDRESSING
IT FROM THE OUTSET.
NOT REACTING TO IT AGAIN THREE
YEARS FROM NOW.
AND TO ME THAT'S A STRONGER
PROPOSAL. IF WE'RE GOING INTO IT
WITH A STRATEGY TO ADDRESS A
PROBLEM THAT WE ALREADY KNOW
EXISTS DOES THAT MAKE SENSE.
IT MAKES SENSE AND IT IS.
AFFAIR CRITICAL POINT OKAY A
DID YOU WANT TO JUMP IN.
YEAH CHRIS FERGUSON FINANCE I
WOULD JUST LIKE TO A BUILD OFF
TRANSFER OAKLEY'S.
COMMENT AND SAY AND YOUR
COMMENTS AS WELL I THINK.
CERTAINLY FROM THE OUTSET WE
PLAN TO HAVE A HIGH STUDENT
SUPPORT.
COMPONENT OF THE ONLINE COLLEGE
AND I THINK CERTAINLY FROM THE
OUTSET WE WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR.
BUT ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO
LEARN FROM THIS COLLEGE ALL OF
THE INNOVATIVE PRACTICES THAT WE
LEARNED WILL BE BENEFICIAL TO
ALL STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THE
SYSTEM. ARE TRANSFERRED FROM THE
COLLEGE TO THE SYSTEM AND MADE
AVAILABLE TO THE SYSTEM.
AND THAT TAKES ME TO THE NEXT
SEGMENT IT WE KNOW THAT ONLINE
THAT'S CONNECTED TO.
COLLEGES AND TO SUPPORT SERVICES
AND TO PHYSICAL LOCATIONS TO
INFRASTRUCTURE WE KNOW THAT THAT
HELPS IN SUCCESS. AND SO AGAIN
MORE FORMALIZING OF THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS.
DIRECTLY WITH THE COLLEGES I
THINK HELPS MAKE THAT ARGUMENT
AND HELPS ACHIEVE SUCCESS. AND
SO THE MORE THAT THAT SPELLED%
OUT THE MORE THAT'S THAT'S THE
FINE. I THINK IT HELPS.
THE PROPOSAL AND IT MAY BE THAT
IT'S NOT EXACTLY AS ENVISIONED
AS FAR AS THE RELATIONSHIP WITH
THOSE SCHOOLS THE. AND THAT TIES
BACK TO THE GOVERNMENT SO I I DO
THINK THERE'S A WAY. TO TO
ADDRESS THESE WHICH I THINK ARE
LEGITIMATE GLOBAL CONCERNS BUT
THEN ALSO. SPECIFIC CONCERNS AND.
.
IF YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON THAT
AND I HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU
KNOW I I I I DON'T DISAGREE WITH
YOU I THINK THESE ARE ISSUES
THAT.
WE ARE KEENLY CONCERNED ABOUT.
WE BELIEVE.
AND EXPECT THAT THIS COLLEGE
WOULD INTERACT AND PARTNER WITH.
COLLEGES IN PARTICULAR REGIONS
THAT ARE TRYING TO ADDRESS
SIMILAR NEEDS IN ADDITION I
THINK. AS THE HEALTHCARE
BUSINESS SERVICES PATHWAY POINTS
OUT.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE
EMPLOYER AND LABOR PARTNERS TO
MAKE THESE PATHWAYS REAL. AND TO
ENSURE THAT THERE IS SERVICES
AND SUPPORT FOR EVERYONE OF
THESE WORKERS.
AND THEN FINANCE THE BUDGET IS
PROPOSING THIS IS IN THE
ANALYSIS. TO ACCELERATE THE
EXPANSION OF COURSES AVAILABLE
THROUGH THE ONLINE COURSE
EXCHANGE. WILL WHICH WILL EXPAND
ACCESS TO FULLY. TO FULLY ONLINE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE OR TRANSFER AND
ESTABLISH A MAN MINIMUM NUMBER
OF FULLY ONLINE TRANSFER DEGREE
PROGRAMS HOWEVER. THE BUDGET
BUDGET DOES NOT PROPOSE ANY
ADDITIONAL FUNDS TO DO THAT.
SO YOU KNOW ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT I THINK IS MAKING THIS A
LITTLE BIT MORE CHALLENGING FOR
THIS FOR THE SCHOOLS THAT ARE
OFFERING. ONLINE COURSES IS WERE
NOT HELPING THEM.
DO THAT AND THIS IS BEING SEEN
AS AN EITHER OR.
YOU KNOW EITHER WE'RE GOING TO
DO THIS NEW COLLEGE OR.
YOU KNOW IT AGAIN AS YOU
CONSIDER CREATING SOMETHING NEW
WE REALLY DO NEED TO INVEST IN
THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE. TO
MAKE SURE THAT THEY CAN DO WHAT
THEY DO AND I THINK THAT WOULD
RAMP DOWN SOME OF THE TENSIONS.
YES AND WE CERTAINLY CONTINUED
TO SUPPORT THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE AND THERE'S BEEN A
SIGNIFICANT BEST MEN'S AND
THERE'S CONTINUED RESOURCES. TO
SUPPORT.
CANVAS AND TO SUPPORT THE.
YEAH I.
THE ONLINE EDUCATION INITIATIVE
HAS BEEN WORKING ON A COURSE
EXCHANGE TO ALLOW BETTER AS
SEAMLESS ARTICULATION OF ONLINE
COURSES.
AND IF THEY ARE CONTINUING AT
THAT WORK AND AND AND THAT THERE
ARE COLLEGES SLATED TO ADD
DISCREETLY SIX COLLEGES
PARTICIPATING AND THERE'S MORE.
THAT ARE WORKING TO BECOME PART
OF THE EXCHANGE SO WE CERTAINLY
SUPPORT THAT WORK IN THERE'S
CONTINUED FINDING AT AT TO
SUPPORT OUR WORK ADAM AND THE
EXPECTATION IS THAT. THE FOCUS
WOULD BE ON ACCELERATING THE THE
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR FOR
TRANSFERS SO I MEAN WE WE WE
COMPLETELY RECOGNIZE THAT THERE
ARE SOME CHALLENGES AND
ARTICULATION AND THERE'S BEEN
SOME DELAYS. AND.
THERE IT IS FINDING AND THE
BUDGET TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
THAT I'D LIKE TO SEE I'D LIKE TO
SEE. FUNDING INCREASE FOR THE
FOR WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW BOTH TO
DEAL WITH THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP IN
BOTH TO DEAL WITH THE
EXPECTATION THAT THIS IS GOING
TO CONTINUE. AND SO PLEASE TAKE
THAT MESSAGE BACK.
.
COUPLE OTHER THINGS I THINK MY
MY COLLEAGUES YOU KNOW WE'RE
LOOKING FOR SOME EVIDENCE.
THAT THIS COHORT AND AGAIN IT'S
IN THE ANALYSIS HE MINISTRATION.
THAT HASN'T PROVIDED EVIDENCE
THAT THOSE WORKING ADULTS WHO
ARE INTERESTED IN MORE EDUCATION
CANNOT ACCESS THE EXISTING.
ONLINE.
OPPORTUNITIES I THINK YOU NEED
THEM TO TO FOCUS ON. YOU KNOW IS
THERE AN ACTUAL PROBLEM THAT
NEEDS TO BE SOLVED THAT I THINK
YOU HAVE TO THE ADMINISTRATION
AND YOU COLLECTIVELY HAVE TO
MAKE A BETTER CASE.
FOR THAT.
I THINK I'M VERY PLEASED THAT
THERE'S YOU KNOW THE LABOR
ISSUES ARE GOING TO BE ADDRESSED
IN THE THE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGES FOCUSING ON THAT.
I THINK SINCE THE FIRST HEARING
AND AND THIS THERE'S PROGRESS
BEING MADE.
BUT I THINK SOME OF THOSE GLOBAL
ISSUES ON IN PARTICULAR ON
GOVERNANCE AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
AND CONNECTION TO BRICK AND
MORTAR SCHOOLS.
WE DON'T NEED TO BE TO BE
FURTHER ADDRESS I WOULD ALSO
LIKE TO SAY I KNOW MS JACKSON
HAD OUT AND I I. FEEL TERRIBLE
BECAUSE. I TOLD HER YOU WERE
FIRST UP AND I KNEW SHE HAD A
WHOLE BUNCH OF QUESTIONS. I
WOULD POINT OUT THAT WITH THE
SANTA BARBARA.
CITY COLLEGE YOU KNOW THIS IS
THEIR ONLINE CAREER SKILLS
INSTITUTE. AND THERE ARE A LOT
OF CERTIFICATE COURSES YOU KNOW
BASIC INTERNET SKILLS. BASIC
OFFICE SOFTWARE BEGINNING MATH
SKILLS.
YOU KNOW THESE ARE SOME OF THE
SHORT TERM SKILL PROGRAMS THAT
WE KNOW WE DON'T WANT TO
NECESSARILY SEE. IN COMPETITION
WITH EACH OTHER SO I DO THINK.
YOU KNOW THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME
LOOK AT WHAT'S BEING DONE. BUT
ALL OF THAT BEING SAID I KNOW
YOUR HEART'S IN THE RIGHT SPOT I
KNOW YOUR PASSION ABOUT AND I
KNOW THE GOVERNOR'S PASSION
ABOUT IT AND I THINK THAT. THE
THE FOR PROFIT COLLEGES ARE
GOING TO TRY TO SWOOP IN TAKE
THESE KIDS. AND I JUST THINK
MORE SPECIFICITY ADDRESS THE
LEGITIMATE QUESTIONS THAT ARE
COMING FROM THE SITES I THINK MR
MORLOCKS QUESTION ABOUT. WE'RE
NOT SEEN A RUSH OF COLLEGE IS
COMING TO US SAYING WE LIKE THIS.
AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT NORMALLY
EVEN WITHIN THIS BUILDING. YOU
KNOW WITH MY COLLEAGUES.
I'M GETTING QUESTIONS I'M NOT
GETTING.
SO THERE'S. YOU KNOW WE HAVE
TIME OVER THE NEXT COUPLE MONTHS.
TO TO TRY TO ADDRESS SOME OF
THESE THINGS AND I THINK IF WE
CAN CHANNEL YOUR PASSION AND
YOUR EXCITEMENT FOR WHAT IS A
GOOD GOAL. YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE
ALL TALKING ABOUT THE SAME KIDS
AND IF AND I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT
THE ECONOMY TO GO TO WHAT MR
ALLEN SAID THE ECONOMY. GETS
BETTER IF THE STUDENTS IN THESE
ADULTS WHO ARE LOOKING FOR NEW
CERTIFICATES HAVE OPTIONS. YOU
KNOW THERE'S ONLY THREE THINGS
YOU CAN DO WITH THE BUCKET TAKE
SOMETHING OUT OF IT PUT
SOMETHING IN IT OR MAKE IT
BIGGER.
AND I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE
A BIGGER. SO.
.
I'M ENCOURAGING YOU TO CONTINUE
YOUR PASSION AND TRY TO ADDRESS
SOME OF THESE THESE ISSUES WE'RE
NOT GONNA TAKE ACTION ON IT
TODAY AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE
FURTHER TESTIMONY AND. A COUPLE
PEOPLE HERE WHO WANT TO TALK
p SO I THINK IT'S A GOOD
CONVERSATION AND I ACTUALLY
APPLAUD YOU AND THE
ADMINISTRATION FOR BRINGING IT
FORWARD.
BUT I THINK YOU'RE HERE AND YOU
KNOW SOME SOME TOUGH QUESTIONS
BUT I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE EQUAL TO
THE CHALLENGE.
THE WAY THAT SHE HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU WANNA
HAVE ANY CLOSING COMMENT WE'VE
BEEN. YOU KNOW I JUST THE ON A
LOT OF RHETORIC AT YOU I WANTED
YOU KNOW TO YOU TO SAY THANK YOU.
TO THE MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE
AS WELL AS THE FULL BUDGET
COMMITTEE.
FOR ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
FOR ASKING TOUGH QUESTIONS AND
IT'S OUR JOB TO RESPOND. GREAT
AND THE ADMINISTRATION TO I MEAN
YOU GUYS ARE WORKING IN CONCERT
WITH THIS SO. YOU KNOW YOU
SHOULDN'T BE THE ONLY ONE AFFECT
TAKEN TAKEN TAKEN THE THE HEAT
SO I SAID CHRISTIE YOUR OFFICE
YEAH. I HAVE AND I APPRECIATE
THAT HE WANTED TO JUMP IN QUITE
HAVE MISTER CHAIR A.
TRANSFER OAKLEY DAVID GRANT IS
YES. BYRON I REMEMBER DAVID HE
WAS A RESIDENT MOSTLY SUNNY WHEN
I WHEN WAS THAT HE HAS. CALLED
PRESIDENT GRANT.
HE SAID THAT HIS FATHER ONCE
SAID.
THAT.
HE WAS ALL FOR PROGRESS.
IT WAS CHANGE SHE DIDN'T LIVE.
AT.
THAT'S A GOOD FOR THAT IS A GOOD
SIGN FOR TODAY.
WONDERFUL WELL THANK YOU VERY
MUCH WE'LL GO TO OUR NEXT PANEL.
OR TO KEEP GOING.
AND EVERYBODY JUST IN KEEPING
WITH OUR PRACTICE.
.
RIGHT WE'RE GONNA PANEL TO I DO
PUBLIC COMMENT AT THE END OF THE
HEARING. WE'RE GONNA GO TO PANEL
TO THE ONLY TIME I BREAK THAT
ARE WHEN THERE ARE STUDENTS.
AND YOUNG PEOPLE WHO. NEED TO
GET HOME OR GET TO CLASS SO
WE'RE GONNA GO RIGHT INTO OUR
SECOND PANEL ON THIS DISCUSSION.
AND I WILL ASK OUR PANELISTS.
ONE OF WHOM IS FROM THAT LITTLE
TINY WONDERFUL SCHOOL IN MY
DISTRICT.
AND THEY'LL COMMUNITY COLLEGE
AND SO.
WE HAVE DOCTOR CULPEPPER.
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF
ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS LEAD OKAY
MANY COLLEGE AND WINDY BRAWL
WYNKOOP THAT I SAID THAT RIGHT
WIND TO WIND COUPE. OF FACULTY
OF COLLEGE OF THE CANYONS SO YOU
TO TAKE IT AWAY THANK YOU. WE
TALKED A MOMENT AGO FIRST.
.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS MY NAME IS WENDY GROWING
TOO BUT I'M PROFESSOR
PHOTOGRAPHY AT COLLEGE OF THE
CANYONS IN VALENCIA I SERVICE A
BOARD MEMBER. ON THE FACULTY
ASSOCIATION OF THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. AND THIS
REFLECTS THE FACTS TESTIMONY. IN
ADDITION TO SERVICE ON
LEGISLATION. EXCUSE ME IN
ADDITION TO SERVICE ON THE
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES OF BOTH
THE ACADEMIC SENATE FOR THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
AND THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ASSOCIATION THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE ARM OF CTA I'M ALSO THE
PRESIDENT OF MY LOCAL UNION.
THESE AFFILIATIONS ARE IMPORTANT
NOT THAT YOU KNOW MY RESUME BUT
THAT YOU RECOGNIZE THE
UNEQUIVOCAL POSITION BY FAQ. THE
ACADEMIC SENATE AND INDEED ALL
THE UNIONS THAT THE ONLINE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROPOSAL IS
PROBLEMATIC AND DESERVES YOUR
HIGHEST SCRUTINY.
BEFORE I ELABORATE ON THAT LET
ME STATE FOR THE RECORD THAT I
AM NOT OPPOSED TO ONLINE
EDUCATION AND NEITHER ARE THE
FACULTY ORGANIZATIONS. OF MY
TWENTY TWO YEARS AS A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE FACULTY MEMBER IN THE
DISCIPLINES OF PHOTOGRAPHY
DIGITAL MEDIA ART HISTORY ARTS
AND DESIGN I HAVE TAUGHT A
VARIETY OF COURSES. IN VARIOUS
ONLINE MODALITIES FOR SIXTEEN
YEARS AND LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING TO DO SO.
I WOULD LIKE TO SUMMARIZE THREE
MAJOR OBJECTIONS TO THE PROPOSAL
WON A SUFFICIENT CASE HAS NOT
BEEN MADE FOR THE NEED FOR A NEW
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT. NUMBER TWO SKILL OR
COMPETENCY BASED NON CREDIT
COURSES THAT AWARD COMPLETION
WITH THE DIGITAL BADGER ALREADY
BEING OFFERED AT THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
AND THREE THERE BETTER WAYS TO
ALLOCATE PRECIOUS RESOURCES TO
CREATE THAN TO CREATE A NEW
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT.
LET'S BREAK THESE DOWN.
STARTING WITH THE LACK OF A CASE
FOR THIS PROPOSAL THE L. LA AT
L. A. O. STATES THIS. IN ITS OWN
ANALYSIS IN THE RUSH TO DEVELOP
THIS PROPOSAL WE'VE SEEN NO
EVIDENCE OR FOCUS OF FOCUS
GROUPS FOR MARKET SURVEYS. OF
THE TARGET POPULATION PROVING
THAT THIS MODEL IS EXACTLY WHAT
IS WARRANTED. THE WHITE PAPERS
AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
REFLECT A PATCHWORK OF
CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE THAT
INDIRECTLY LEADS BACK TO THIS
PROPOSAL.
QUOTING FROM A COMMUNICATION
FROM THE SANTA BARBARA CITY
COLLEGE TO CANCER OAKLEY IT IS
TRUE THAT THERE IS A NICHE OF
OLDER WORKING ADULT LEARNERS.
WHO NEED MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
COLLEGE EDUCATION IT IS NOT
CLEAR THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE
SEEKING THIS REMEDY AND A FULLY
ONLINE COLLEGE?
FROM THE SIXTEEN YEARS OF
TEACHING ONLINE I CAN TELL YOU
THAT STUDENTS GRAVITATE TO THESE
CLASSES BECAUSE OF THEIR BUSY
SCHEDULES.
WHAT THEY DON'T REALIZE IS THAT
ONLINE CLASSROOMS REQUIRE THEM
TO BE SELF STARTERS STARTERS
MOTIVATED IN ACTIVE LEARNERS
FORGETTING A DUE DATE A SLOW
CONNECTION OR A TECHNICAL GLITCH?
IN BECAUSE A STUDENT TO DROP OUT
OF CLASS COURSE LEARNING
MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS DO NOT
FUNCTION SMOOTHLY ON EVERY
PLATFORM.
THE ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PROPOSAL SUGGESTS THAT STUDENTS
TO USE CELL PHONES. ON THE
STUDENTS WILL USE CELLPHONES BUT
EVEN IPHONE SEVEN WILL NOT RUN
THE SAME DYNAMIC LEARNING TOOLS
THAT A NEW DESKTOP COMPUTER WILL.
I HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT I HAVE
CONCERNS THAT THIS PROPOSAL IS
CREATING ANOTHER LEVEL OF
INEQUITY.
WELL THE STRANDED WORKER WHO
MAKES TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS ANNUALLY BE ABLE TO
AFFORD THE TECHNOLOGY TO LEARN
ONLINE.
BOLSTERING THE SYSTEMS THAT ARE
ALREADY IN PLACE MAKE MORE SENSE
ONLINE COURSES EXIST THROUGH OUR
SYSTEM AND WITH THE CROSS
PLATFORM KNOWN IS THE ONLINE
EDUCATION INITIATIVE ARE.
III BUT THESE ARE ALL ANCHORED
IN THE COMMUNITY WITH THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS TO
ACCESS LABS FACE TO FACE
COUNSELING FINANCIAL AID
SERVICES TO MEET WITH THEIR
INSTRUCTORS IF NECESSARY. WITH
ALL THE DIFFICULTY STUDENTS
ALREADY FACE AND CHOOSING ONLINE
OVER IN IN CLASS OR HYBRID AT
LEAST THEY HAVE ACCESS TO THESE
CAMPUS RESOURCES. THESE ARE ALL
UNAVAILABLE TO THE STUDENT
TAKING CLASSES AT THE PROPOSED
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
WELL THE SOCIAL DIMENSION OF-LEARNING IS ALREADY CHALLENGED
IN ONLINE CLASSES THERE'S
ANOTHER TOTAL CASUALTY OF THE.
HUNDRED PERCENT ONLINE COLLEGE
BUT BY NOT ANCHORING THE
STUDENTS IN THE COMMUNITY THEY
HAVE NO SPECIFIC LOCATION TO
CONNECT WITH OTHER STUDENTS.
PRACTICE ON INSTRUCTIONAL
EQUIPMENT OR MEET WITH THEIR
FACULTY LET ALONE ACCESS STUDENT
SERVICES.
THE PARADOX OF ALL OF THIS IS
THAT AN EFFORT TO BRING TWO
POINT FIVE STRANDED WORKERS INTO
THE FOLD OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
ARE WE ACTUALLY CREATING
STRANDED STUDENTS.
I WANT TO MAKE ANOTHER
CRITICALLY IMPORTANT POINT. WE
ARE TOLD THAT THE ONLINE COLLEGE
WILL BE DIFFERENT FROM A REGULAR
ONLINE COURE OFFERINGS AND IT
WILL BE COMPETENCY BASED AD
FOCUS ON INDUSTRY BADGES. WELL
THIS MAY BE A SURPRISE TO SOME
IT'S NOT TO US TO TEACH HER
EDUCATION COURSES. WE'RE ALREADY
DOING SOME OF THIS AT OUR
COLLEGES AND WE'RE LOOKING TO
EXPAND IT TO OTHERS FOR EXAMPLE
SANTA BARBARA CITY COLLEGE
CAREER SKILLS INSTITUTE. OFFERS
THIRTY SIX COMPETENCY BASED
DIGITAL BADGES.
AND THE SOUTH COAST REGIONAL
CONSORTIUM IS EXPANDING THE
PROGRAM TO COLLEGE OF THE
CANYONS AND ENTER COLLEGE AND
RECENTLY. FACULTY AT GLENDALE
COLLEGE WERE ENQUIRING ABOUT
DIGITAL BADGE PLATFORMS.
AT AT THAT COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ASSOCIATION FOR OCCUPATIONAL
EDUCATION CONFERENCE LAST MONTH.
NOW I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THESE
ARE NOT ONLINE YET. AND THERE'S
REASONS WHY SO WHAT IS STOPPING
US FROM EXPANDING THIS MODEL TO
ON LINE UP AND DOWN THE STATE AT
THE SPEED THE CHANCELLOR HAS
TASKED US WITH.
THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS I'M
GONNA NAME A FEW ONE OFFERING
NON CREDIT.
COMPETENCY BASED COURSES ONLINE
IS NOT A KING COST EFFICIENT
EFFECTIVE SORRY IT'S NOT COST
EFFECTIVE FOR COLLEGES BECAUSE
OF THE REQUIRED ACCOUNTING
METHOD FOR APPORTIONMENT.
NUMBER TWO. THE PROCESS FOR
APPROVAL OF NON CREDIT
CURRICULUM AT THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE HAS NOT BEEN STREAMLINED
TO LIKE THE CREDIT PROCESS. IT
OFTEN TAKES MORE THAN A YEAR FOR
A NON CREDIT COURSE AND PROGRAM
APPROVAL.
THE STATE I'M NUMBER THREE THE
STATE APPLICATION PROCESS CCC
APPLY IS A BARRIER TO
REGISTRATION FOR CLASSES AT THE
CCC'S.
IS IT A POSSIBILITY THAT THIS
POPULATION OF STRANDED WORKERS
HAS NOT ENROLLED IN THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM SIMPLY
BECAUSE OUR ON LINE APPLICATION
SYSTEM IS CUMBERSOME AND
EXHAUSTING.
I QUESTION WHETHER THE NEW
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT WILL HAVE THE SAME
RULES TO LIVE BY.
ARE THERE BETTER WAYS TO SPEND
THIS MONEY LET'S START BY
EXPANDING THE ONLY I TO NON
CREDIT AND STRONG WORK FORCE TO
DEVELOP ONLINE PROGRAMS.
ART AUGMENTING BOTH OF THOSE
WILL LIKELY CAPTURE THE STRANDED
WORKER POPULATION WITH RESOURCES
LEFT OVER. DON'T CREATE A WHOLE
NEW ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT CHANGE THE ACCOUNTING
METHOD FOR ONLINE NONCREDIT
CLASSES STREAMLINE THE PROCESS
OF NON CREDIT COURSE AND PROGRAM
APPROVAL AND MAKES THE SEA APPLY
QUICK AND EASY.
AS A FACULTY MEMBER I'D LIKE TO
SAY HOW UNFORTUNATE IT IS THAT
WE'RE DISCUSSING A HUNDRED AND
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR NEW
COLLEGE WITHOUT ANY
CONSIDERATION FOR THE ABYSMAL
FACT. THAT ONLY FIVE FIFTY SIX
POINT FOUR OF CREDIT CLASS
PERCENT OF CREDIT CLASSES ARE
TAUGHT BY FULL TIME FACULTY WERE
INCREASING FUNDS TO SUPPORT PART
TIME FACULTY.
WELL WE'RE FIGURING OUT WAYS TO
ENHANCE CAPACITY FOR MORE
STUDENTS WE SHOULD NOT SHORT
CHANGE OUR EXISTING STUDENTS IN
THE PROCESS.
I'D LIKE TO CONCLUDE BY STATING
THAT THE FACULTY ORGANIZATIONS
HAVE ALL OFFERED TO PARTICIPATE
IN DISCUSSION. ON EXPANDING
SERVICES TO THE TARGET
POPULATION WITHOUT PRE
DETERMINATION OF A SOLUTION.
EXPANDING ONLY I AND STRONG
WORKFORCES PREFER PREFERABLE TO
A PROPOSAL THAT IS EXPENSIVE
WOULD CREATE DUPLICATIVE
ACCREDITATION APPROVAL WOULD
CREATE LIFE LABOR DIVISIVENESS
THROUGH ITS EMBRACE OF MEET AND
CONFER STANDARD. WOULD ISOLATE
STUDENTS AND WOULD NOT EVEN BENT
AND AND MIGHT NOT EVEN BENEFIT
THE TARGET POPULATION OF
STRANDED WORKERS.
UNFORTUNATELY UNTIL SUCH TIME WE
CAN ACTUALLY HAVE THE
CONVERSATION OF HOW TO HELP THIS
GROUP OF STUDENTS NOT
WITHSTANDING A SPECIFIC SOLUTION.
WE ARE LEFT ASKING YOU TO REJECT
THE PROPOSAL AS PRESENTED AND
REDIRECT THE FUNDS TO PLACES WE
BELIEVE WILL BE BETTER FOR OUR
STUDENTS.
HAS IT WON CLARIFYING QUESTION
YOU MENTIONED THE MEET AND
CONFER CENTER CAN YOU EXPLAIN
THAT TO ME.
I DON'T KNOW THAT I CAN.
I I BELIEVE THAT'S GOING TO BE
ADDRESSED.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS.
SAID THAT THAT'S ONE THING THEY
ARE GOING TO ADDRESS.
OKAY SO I DON'T THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE AN ISSUE ANYMORE BUT WELL
HERE I'M SURE DURING PUBLIC
COMMENT.
ABOUT.
BUT I JUST LOVE TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT IT WHAT IT MEANS AND WHAT
IT IS.
SHE JUST. OKAY.
PRONTO.
ALL RIGHT.
YEAH JOBS OKAY.
AFTER CULPEPPER.
JEOPARDY PATINO WELL IN AN
HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE SENATE.
AND OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE.
.
ANTHONY CULPEPPER FROM GLENDALE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE I'M THE
EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT OF
ADMINISTRATIVE AFFAIRS.
I I JUST WANT TO SHARE.
FROM THE OUTSET THAT.
I SAID ON MANY. A STATE WIDE.
COMMITTEES CONCERNING. THE
HIGHER EDUCATION BUT I'M NOT
HERE TO SPEAK ON BEHALF OF THOSE
COMMITTEES.
I HAVE. SPOKEN TO MANY OF THE
OTHERS CBO'S EXECUTIVES IN THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
AND THEY ALL SHARE THEIR
THOUGHTS BUT I'M NOT HERE TO
SPEAK ON THEIR BEHALF. THEIR
BEHALF EITHER I'M JUST HERE TO
TALK ABOUT GLENDALE AND WHAT
GLENDALE HAS DONE.
TO ADDRESS THIS POPULATION OF
STUDENTS.
THAT.
IT HAS BEEN SHOWN IN THESE ARE
THE DATA THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED.
OVER THIRTY FOUR WITH THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT CLOSE TO FORTY
PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS FALL
INTO THAT AGE. RANGE OF THE OVER
TWENTY ONE YEARS OF AGE AND
OLDER IF YOU WILL WE'RE SERVING
THAT THE ADULT POPULATION ARE
NON CREDIT.
CERTIFICATES IN OUR NON CREDIT
PROGRAM IS ROUGHLY THIRTY FIVE
PERCENT OF OUR OVERALL OF
OFFERINGS IN OUR PROGRAM IN OUR
ACADEMIC.
CURRICULUM SO THESE INDIVIDUALS
WHO HAVE.
BEEN IDENTIFIED ARE BEING
ADDRESSED I WILL SAY THIS I
DON'T THINK GLENDALE IS UNIQUE
IN THIS WAY I THINK ACROSS THE
HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN COLLEGES
THAT THE QUALITY OF THIS
EDUCATION FOR THESE STUDENTS ARE.
BEING MADE AVAILABLE.
CHOICE IS A MATTER AND THAT IS
WHETHER OR NOT THEY CHOOSE TO.
COME TO THE CAMPUS OR IN FACT.
WISH TO PURSUE THINGS ONLINE OR
EVEN PURSUE. THE PROGRAMS THAT
WE ARE THAT WE ARE OFFERING. SO
I WILL I JUST WANT TO START BY
SAYING THAT.
LOOKING AT THE ONLINE COMPONENT
OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE
BEEN LOOKING AT THIS FOR OUR FOR
A LONG TIME AS A MATTER OF FACT
IF YOU GO BACK IN HISTORY WHERE
THE ORIGIN OF THE CORRESPONDENTS
CONCEPT THAT. IS IF THERE IS CAPACITY
THAT THERE IS CAPACITY AVAILABLE.
AT GLENDALE.
IF THE RESOURCES ARE THERE TO
HIRE MORE FACULTY HIRE MORE
STAFF. AND THE THE OPPORTUNITY
IS GIVEN TO A REACH OUT TO THESE.
TO THESE IT'S THE INDIVIDUALS
THAT ARE NOT BEING.
SERVED.
WE HAVE OF THE CAPACITY THERE
TO DO THAT IN ARE WILLING TO DO
THAT. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT.
I JUST WANT TO SHARE QUICKLY.
SUCCESSFUL ONLINE EDUCATION
REQUIRES FOR THE INDIVIDUALS TO
DESIRETHAT MODALITY OF
EDUCATION WHICH MEANS THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO BE
TRAINED IN TECHNOLOGY.
THEY HAVE TO HAVE A COMPUTER
SYSTEMS AND.
THAT ARE ARE THAT THEY ARE ABLE
TO ACCESS THIS.
THIS DATA.
IT HAS TO BE FAST AS RELIABLE
THEY HAVE TO BE ABLE TO COME
OVER THE INTERNET SYSTEM IN
ORDER TO DO IT SO THAT MEANS
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO HAVE SOME
KIND OF.
WIFI SYSTEM OR HARD LINE TO GET
INTO THE SYSTEM.
THESE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE
KNOW ARE NECESSARY IN ORDER FOR
THESE STUDENTS TO TO COME IN.
WE'VE HAD THESE THINGS IN PLACE.
WE'VE HAD THESE THINGS IN PLACE
ALL THE COMMUNITY WHILE THE
MAJORITY THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
HAVE HAD THESE THIS TYPE OF
MODALITY IN PLACE. THESE
STUDENTS HAVEN'T REACHED OUT
THROUGH THE.
THROUGH THOSE SYSTEMS.
I DON'T THINK THAT THERE IS ONE
COLLEGE THAT IS IGNORING THE
FACT THAT A LOT ACCESS NEEDS TO
BE THERE AND THAT IS SOMETHING
HASBEEN DRIVING EVERYTHING THAT
WE'VE BEEN DOING.
IN TERMS OF CONNECTING TO THE
INDUSTRY AND LOOKING AT WHAT THE
INDUSTRY DESIRES IN GLENDALE WE
DO THAT ALL THE TIME THE THE
ADMINISTRATORS THE FACULTY WE
LOOK TO. THE.
THE NEEDS OF THE OF THE ART
COMMUNITY.
AND WE TRY TO DESIGN PROGRAMS
AROUND OF WHAT THOSE NEEDS ARE
OUR PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
CENTER THAT WE CALL THE PDC IS
VERY ACTIVE IN THE GLENDALE
COMMUNITY ARE LETTING THEM KNOW
WHAT. OUR SERVICES WE PROVIDE
AND BYE BYE INTERACTING IN THE
COLLABORATED WITH OUR COMMUNITY
THOSE STUDENTS AND IN BUSINESSES
REACH OUT TO US AND THEY SEND
THEIR STUDENTS.
TO TO GLENDALE OR THEY SEND
THEM TO THE PDC FOR CERTAIN
SPECIAL.
EDUCATION AND TRAINING.
ALONG WITH THAT. WHEN WE'RE
LOOKING AT THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE ON. THERE HAS BEEN
PROGRESS I MEAN YOU KNOW MAYBE
RIGHT NOW THE WHILE THE SUCCESS
RATE OF THE ONLINE ISN'T AS.
HIGH AS THE FACE TO FACE BUT I
DON'T THINK ANYONE CAN ARGUE THE
FACT THAT IT HASN'T BEEN
PROGRESS IT HAS GOTTEN A LOT
BETTER THAT GP IS CLOSING AND
WE DON'T HAVE A HUNDRED AND
FIFTEENTH COLLEGE THAT'S WHOLLY
ONLINE. THAT DID THAT IT WAS A
HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN COLLEGES
LOOKING AT WHAT WAS NECESSARY IN
ORDER TO REACH OUT TO THOSE
STUDENTS AND AND THEN HELP
FACULTY BECOME PROFESSIONALLY
DEVELOPED IN ORDER TO. ENGAGE
THEM ONLINE AND HELP THEM BECOME
SUCCESSFUL. WHEN STUDENTS
COMPLETE THEIR EDUCATION WITHIN
THE TRADITIONAL STRUCTURE.
THEY ARE BAY BENEFIT.
WITH THE EXPOSURE TO A CERTAIN
EXISTING SKILLS WE ENCOURAGE OUR STUDENTS TO GO
FOUR DEGREES TO TO CONTINUE ON
AND INSPIRED TO GET THE OTHER
CERTIFICATIONS IF YOU WILL.
BUT THOSE ARE THE CHOICES THAT
ARE THAT THE THOSE INDIVIDUALS
HAVE MADE IT'S NOT THAT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES DO NOT HAVE
THIS.
THESE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO
THEM.
STUDENTS AT GLENDALE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES HAVE AT COLLEGE IF I
HAVE ACCESS TO THE IRAQ HAS
ACCESS TO A VARIETY OF STUDENT
SUPPORT.
THAT I HEARD ONE OF THE.
THESE SENATORS MENTION HOW BAD
WARM HAND.
IS SO VERY IMPORTANT WHEN IT
COMES TO SOMEBODY WHO IS THE
FIRST TIME. COLLEGE STUDENT.
JUST PUTTING SOMEONE IN FRONT
OF A COMPUTER SCREEN AND. AND
AND THEN HAVING THEM TRY TO.
WORK THEIR WAY THROUGH THE CAN
THROUGH THE PROB THE PRODUCT THE
CURRICULUM ON THE COMPUTER
SCREEN WITHOUT SOMEBODY TO GUIDE
THEM. CAN BE AN OBSTACLE IT
COULD BE A KID THEY COULD HAVE A
LOT OF.
IF YOU WILL NEGATIVE FEEDBACK
AND TRYING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN
HOWEVER. THE FACULTY THAT WE
HAVE UNDERSTAND THAT STUDENTS
NEED THAT ACCESS THE THE STAFF
THAT WE HAVE IS THE COUNSELORS
THAT WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT
THE STUDENTS NEED THAT KIND OF
GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP. AND
THEY HAVE BEEN WORKING
DILIGENTLY TO REACH OUT TO THOSE
STUDENTS AND HELP GUIDE IN IN OUR SPRAYS THEY HAVE SKIN IN THE
GAME THEY'RE NOT JUST SOMEBODY
THIS JUMP IN IN A JUMPING OUT
THERE SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS.
THE PEDAGOGY OR ANY OF EVEN THE
ANDREW GO GEE OF DEVELOPING THE
STUDENTS SO THAT THEY CAN BE
SUCCESSFUL ENERGY VIA THE
EDUCATION ASPIRATIONS AT THE
HALF. SO.
.
I JUST WANT TO TOUCH BASE AS AS
I AS I COME TO A CONCLUSION HERE
ON THE. ON THE TREND THAT WE
HAVE.
AT.
AT GCC WHEN YOU LOOK AT.
THE TWENTY SIX TO. FIFTY ONE.
WE HAVE A TWENTY SIX YEAR OLD A
FIFTY ONE YEAR OLD.
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE
MEDIAN AGE OF BEING FORTY YEARS
OF AGE THIS IS THESE ARE THE
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE ON OUR
CAMPUS. THERE FORTY YEARS OF AGE
MAY THEY'RE STILL WORKING THEY
WANT TO IMPROVE THEIR. THEIR
THEIR SOCIAL STATUS IF YOU WILL.
AND AND SO THEY'RE COMING TO
THIS SCHOOL THEY'RE GETTING THE
SKILL SETS THAT SKILLS THAT THEY
NEED IN THEIR GOING OFF IT MAY
NOT NECESSARILY BE THAT THEY
WANT A DEGREE IT MAY NOT BE THAT
THEY WANT TO TYPICALLY THEY JUST
NEED SOME TRAINING THERE. TO
MOVE ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL AND
WHATEVER IT IS IN IN IN THEIR
CAREER THAT THEY WANT TO. ARE
THEY WANT TO ACHIEVE SO. BY
HAVING THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE.
I THINK IS THE MOST IMPORTANT
THING. WHAT EVER THAT RESOURCE
IS WHETHER IT'S ONLINE OR
WHETHER IT'S WHETHER IT'S FACE
THE FACE THAT RESOURCE NEEDS TO
BE AVAILABLE? AND IN ORDER. FOR
TO BE SCALABLE.
A HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN COLLEGES
ALREADY THERE IT'S ALREADY
SCALABLE BAKING GO INTO EVERY
AREA WHERE THEY LIVE. ENGAGE
THAT COLLEGE IN THAT COLLEGE IF
IF THERE IS A REAL.
A NEED IN THAT AREA FOUR OF
THOSE STUDENTS STAFF ACCESS VIA
ONLINE. THEY CAN STILL GO TO
THAT COLLEGE IN THAT CAN BE
SOMETHING THAT THAT INSTITUTION
CAN FOCUS ON AND MOVE FORWARD IN
HELPING THAT COMMUNITY. THAT'S
HOW WE FOCUS ON IT EDGY CC SO
OUR CONSTITUENCY COMES TO US
THEY SAY YOU KNOW WE NEED MORE
FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES WE NEED MORE
ACCESS. THAT COLLAGEN GAUGES
THAT COMMUNITY AND MAKES THAT
HAPPEN THAT'S HOW SCALABILITY
COMES IT DOESN'T COME FROM IT.
OUR OUR STRIKE THAT IT THIS IS
THE WAY THAT WE'VE DONE IT AND I
THINK WE'VE BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL
AT DOING IT IF YOU LOOK AT OUR
SCORE CARDING LINNDALE YOU CAN
SEE THAT THE THE THE PERFORMANCE
OF OUR INSTITUTION.
IT DID TRENDS ARE BETTER THAN
THE STATE AVERAGE. AND. IT'S
BECAUSE WE ENGAGE THAT
CONSTITUENCY WE REACH OUT TO
THEM WE'VE ASKED THEM WHAT IT IS
THAT THEY NEED.
IT'S NOT.
IT IT'S NOT TRYING TO CREATE A
COOKIE CUTTER SYSTEM FOR
EVERYONEBECAUSE A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES ARE NOT THE
SAME. WE SERVE THE ARMENIAN
COMMUNITY OF THIRTY. PERCENT OF
THE COMMUNITIES ARMENIAN WE HAVE
ANOTHER PART OF THAT COMMUNITY
WHICH IS HISPANIC WHICH IS
ROUGHLY ABOUT TWENTY EIGHT
PERCENT OF OUR CONSTITUENCIES
HISPANIC. THERE THE ENGLISH AS A
SECOND LANGUAGE AND SO OUR
CURRICULUM IS GOING TO BE
DESIGNED AROUND HELPING THOSE
STUDENTS AND WHAT THEIR NEEDS
ARE AND WHETHER IT'S ONLINE
ACCESS OR FACE TO FACE OR.
DIFFERENT CLASSES BEING.
AVAILABLE AT DIFFERENT TIMES
BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING IN THE
DAY OR OR OR WORKING AT NIGHT
THAT COLLEGE BEGINS TO SHAPE AND
MOLD ITSELF AROUND THE COMMUNITY
THAT IT IS SERVING A YOU CAN'T
pDO THAT. BECAUSE EVERY CITY
EVERY COMMUNITY IS DIFFERENT SO
WITH THAT BEING SAID.
THE THE EFFORTS THAT ARE BEING
MADE I DON'T THINK ANYONE I
GLENDALE DOES NOT DISAGREE WITH
THE CHANCELLOR'S CONCEPT
INVASION OF REACHING OUT AND
HAVING ACCESS I'D I WE DON'T WE
DO NOT DISAGREE. ON HOW IT'S
BEING DONE BECOMES PROBLEMATIC
BECAUSE BY BRINGING THAT HUNDRED
FIFTEEN COLLEGE ON BOARD AS AN
ONLINE. WE'RE TALKING THIRTY
PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS WHETHER
IT'S INTENTIONAL OR NOT AND WE
DON'T BELIEVE IT'S INTENTIONAL
BUT IT'S AN UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCE THAT WE WILL NOW BE
COMPETING.
FOR THOSE STUDENTS.
A BY COMPETING FOR THEM.
WE THEN GET INTO A SITUATION
WHERE. IF IF OUR REVENUE BASE
DECLINE ARE APPORTIONMENT
DECLINES.
ONLY. TEN TO FIFTEEN PERCENT OF
THE COLLEGES ON AN AVERAGE OUR
OPERATIONAL COSTS.
ABOVE LABOR. LABOR IS EIGHTY
FIVE TO NINETY PERCENT OF EVERY
COMMUNITY COLLEGES BUDGET. SO IF
THOSE RESOURCES ARE NOT MADE
AVAILABLE. THE FIRST PLACE THAT
COLLEGE IS GOING TO DO THE RIGHT
SIZE OUR OPERATION.
IT'S GONNA CUT LABOR IN IF YOU
DO THAT. THEN ISN'T THAT GOING
AGAINST WHAT THE WHOLE INTENT OF
THIS IS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YOU DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES TO
HELP THE STUDENTS BECAUSE NOW
YOU HAVE TO LAY OFF. STAFF.
WHETHER IT'S A PORTION OF
FACULTY WHERE THERE'S A PORTION
OF THE CSEA WHERE THERE'S A
PORTION OF THE ADMINISTRATION
YOU'RE NOW REDUCING THE
OPERATIONS BECAUSE THAT MONEY IS
NOT MADE AVAILABLE BECAUSE NOW
IT'S.
DISPERSED ACROSS THE SYSTEM.
WITH THAT I WILL.
CLOSE.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS
THANK YOU BOTH FOR BEING HERE.
HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
I SHALL.
AND SO ART SERVED THANK YOU BOTH
FOR YOUR FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS
AND I JUST FOR THE SAKE OF MY
PRESS PRESS PRESENT CULPEPPER
ARE YOU SO YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY
SAYING.
THAT.
AND AND BY THE WAY THIS I'M NOT
THIS IS A LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT I
MEAN I'VE I SERVE ON THE SCHOOL
BOARD AND BEFORE SERVING IN THE
SENATE I GET HOW DELICATE THESE
BUDGETS CAN BE. BUT IS IS ONE OF
THE CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE HERE
IS A.
THE ONLINE SCENES THAT YOU DO
SERVE RIGHT NOW TO SOME EXTENT
OR A MONEY MAKER YOU KNOW.
IN THE GRAND SCHEME OF THINGS
BECAUSE THERE'S JUST LOWER.
COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH PROVIDING
AN EDUCATION THEM AND ALL OF A
SUDDEN THAT WHOLE MARKET IS
GOING TO BE.
POACHED BY THE STATEWIDE SCHOOL
WHICH COMES SCREWS UP THE.
THE BUDGETING STRUCTURE FOR OUR
CAMPUSES. THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE
UNINTENDED CON INTENDED
CONSEQUENCES WE ALL OF THE
ONLINE IS AVAILABLE NOW.
IT'S AVAILABLE NOW.
IF THERE ARE CERTAIN PROGRMS
THAT THESE STUDENTS NEED THAT
THEY ARE NOT GETTING.
YOU CAN GO TO THE COLLEGES AND
SAY.
WE NEED MORE PROGRAMS IN X. Y.
Z..
IN THOSE COLLEGES CAN GO AND DO
WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO MAKE
THAT AVAILABLE TO THOSE STUDENTS
IN THEIR THEIR.
SO EXPANDING IT TO EXIT TAKING
IT AND SAY NO WE'RE JUST GONNA
HAVE AN ONLINE COLLEGE DO THAT
AND.
YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE TO WORRY
ABOUT THAT.
AND IN KNOWING THAT
APPORTIONMENT IS TIED TO THE
NUMBEROF STUDENTS RIGHT NOW
WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
FUNDING FORMULA THAT'S ANOTHER
ISSUE.
BUT KNOWING THAT RIGHT NOW IT'S
TIED TO THAT.
WE DO HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THE FACT
THAT IF WE'RE SHRINKING. THE
KNIGHT OF FAITH ACTUALLY SPEND
IF WE COULD BRING UP HIS FINANCE
STILL HERE.
WHICH IS THERE YOU ARE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD ASK FINANCE IF.
THEY'VE ANTICIPATED THAT
QUESTION FROM THE COLLEGES AND
WHETHER THERE'S HOME HEART HOLD
HARMLESS. AT BUDGET
AUGMENTATIONS PROPOSED TO
ADDRESS THAT LEGITIMATE CONCERN.
UP. BUT NOT. I'M RIGHT TURKEYS
THAT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE SO WE REALLY DO SEE THE
ONLINE COLLEGE PROPOSAL WORKING
HAND IN HAND CONCERT WITH THE
FUNDING FORMULA PROPOSAL THAT
WILL BE DISCUSSING. AT NEXT WEEK
BECAUSE CURRENTLY UNDER THAT
PROPOSAL THAT THE ONLY WAY THAT
A COLLEGE COULD GROW OR REMAIN
OPERATIONAL IS THERE ARE ALL
MEANT. I'M AND SO OUR PROPOSAL
THAT WILL BE DISCUSSED THE NEXT
WEEK SHIFTS AWAY FROM THAT SO.
WE REALLY DO SEE THESE ISSUES AS
AS I'M IN A CO MINGLED ABS
THOUGH SOUL AND THERE ARE.
HOLD HARMLESS PROPOSALS AS PART
OF THE FOR WANT OF MONEY FORMULA
RIGHT THERE'S AN ONGOING AT HOLD
HARMLESS BUT BUT WE REALLY SEE
THE ISSUE OF COMPETITION AS
BEING. A FUNDAMENTAL ISSUE
RELATED TO THE WAY THAT.
THE STATE CURRENTLY FUNDS AT.
COLLEGES WHICH IS BASED SOLELY
ON ONE FACTOR WHICH IS A ROMAN
SO AS WE THINK ABOUT SHIFTING
AWAY FROM JUST FINDING ON
ENROLLMENT AND THINKING ABOUT
OTHER. FACTORS OUT WE THINK THAT
THAT I HAVE IS A MOVEMENT TO
ADDRESS THIS COMPETITION ISSUE
THAT. WE'VE BEEN HEARING.
WELL.
MAYBE BY NEXT
HEARING YOU CAN HAVE.
SOME ACTUAL DATA BECAUSE IF.
TO SUBSTANTIATE THAT BECAUSE OF
COLLEGES FEAR THEY'RE GOING TO
LOSE MONEY.
YOU KNOW I'D LIKE TO SEE MORE
SPECIFICS ON THAT.
A THIRD CERTAINLY. PROVIDE MORE
INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THE
CURRENT. THAT AS SYSTEM FUN AT
THE CURRENT FUNDING FORMULA. I'M
IN OUR PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THAT
ISSUE THAN IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS FOR FINANCE. I'M WELL
I I'M I'M.
I GUESS I'M LOOKING FOR DISSING
WHICH YOU HAVE TO SAY NEXT WEEK
AS I THINK. AND THIS IS I I GET
THIS CONCERN I MEAN ULTIMATELY.
I'M USING THE HERE MAYBE IT'S
GONNA BE MOVING HERE FROM NOW
BUT IT'S MEETING NEAR THE CENTER
WHICH.
THE ONLINE STUDENTS ARE
SUBSIDIZING THE OTHER STUDENTS.
I'M SORRY BUT I DON'T EVEN I
DON'T THINK IT'S INAPPROPRIATE I
I GIVE AND.
THE VERY THE NATURE OF THE WAY
WE.
I I THINK I THINK THE BRICK AND
MORTAR CLASSROOM IS SUPER
IMPORTANT.
.
BUT.
BUT BUT THAT DOESN INTERESTING
ISSUE THAT I'M QUITE
CONTEMPLATED BUT I SUPPOSE I I
GUESS WE'RE ACTUALLY WAIT TILL
NEXT WEEK TO CONNECT. FULLY.
GRASP THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS
PROPOSAL WITH WITH IN LINE WITH
THE YOUR PROPOSAL FOR REDOING
THE FUNNY SYSTEM ALTOGETHER. I
GUESS IF YOU COULD GIVE US A
LITTLE.
CONTACT ME AT CLIFF'S NOTES
RIGHT NOW AS TO HOW. HOW THIS
INTERACTION HAPPENS?
AT.
SO SO IT DIDN'T GENERALLY THE
IDEA IS THAT CURRENTLY APP
COLLEGES HAVE A FEAR THAT IF
THEY LOSE ENROLLMENT. ADAM THAT
THAT THEY'RE GONNA LOSE REVENUE
ONTO THIS COLLEGE WHICH IS AGAIN
GOING BACK TO YOUR. MOVING AWAY
FROM THE STRICT A ROLE MODEL
RIGHT WHERE COLLEGES COULD GROW
FISCALLY BY IMPROVING ON STUDENT
SUCCESS METRICS FOR INSTANCE.
RATHER THAN JUST HE SEEN YOU A
ROLE MEANT OR KEEPING THEIR I'M
ON A ROLL MET.
AS A WAY TO TO REMAIN
OPERATIONAL SO IT'S THIS IDEA
THAT COLLEGES ARE ABLE TO TO THE
FUNDING FORMULA WORDS COLLEGES
FOR IMPROVING. ON A STUDENT
SUCCESS METRICS FOR INSTANCE AND
NOT JUST.
FEATS THAT THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT
JUST REPORTED BY THE TIME. THE
SIZE OF THE THE ENROLLMENT WILL
STILL BE A FACTOR CHARLIE.
YES SEVERAL MINUTES STILL PART
OF OUR FUNDING FORMULA PROPOSAL
BUT SHIPS AWAY FROM THAT BEING
THE ONLY FACTOR OKAY SO SO
PERHAPS THE IMPACT WOULDN'T BE
QUITE AS SEVERE.
AS UNDER THE.
UNDER THE. PRIVACY THE THE
IMPACT WOULD BE QUITE SEVERE
UNDER THE PROPOSED FUNDING
FORMULA BUT IT WOULD STILL.
BE AN IMPACT AND SO THIS IS NOT
IT'S NOT AS THOUGH THIS IS A
UNFOUNDED CONCERNS. FLAT AGAIN I
WANT TO GO BACK TO. THE INTENT
OF POPULATION HERE WHICH IS A
POPULATION OF TWO POINT FIVE
MILLION.
CALIFORNIA'S WHO CURRENTLY ARE
BEING SERVED SO.
THE INTENT IS TO.
ADDRESS.
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR A
POPULATION THAT CURRENTLY IS AN
AXIS I GET THAT BUT BUT TO THE
EXTENT THAT. YOU YOU KNOW WHAT
WHAT COULD ALSO BE POSSIBLE IS
THAT THE POLICE INITIALLY THE
FIRST.
SHUFFLE WILL BE FROM ALL OF THE
STUDENTS WHO ARE.
ENJOYING THE ONLINE RESOURCES
ON THEIR CAMPUSES TO THE
STATEWIDE SYSTEM. AND THAT WILL
YOU KNOW OVER TIME IDEALY WE
GET TO A POINT WHERE ALL TWO
POINT FIVE MILLION ARE SIGNED UP
AND ENGAGED. BUT. I I THINK IT'S
PRETTY CLEAR IT INITIALLY WOULD
BE THIS. POTENTIAL GIANT SUCKING
SOUND FROM THE. FROM THE
CAMPUSES AND I I I I SEE WHY
THEY'RE CONCERNED.
AND THAT IS CERTAINLY AT AT NOT
THAT THE INTENSE AND AGAIN I
THINK THAT'S WHAT WE SEE THESE
TWO.
PROPOSALS REALLY OUT WORKING IN
CONCERT AND IS WHAT YOU BRING UP
THE HOLD HARMLESS I GUESS THE
QUESTION IS HOW DO WE. MAKE SURE
THAT THAT THERE'S THAT THERE'S A.
ENOUGH CUSHION PUT IN PLACE SO
AS TO NOT.
SO NEGATIVELY IMPACT THE
CAMPUSES YES CERTAINLY AND THERE
ARE HOLD HARMLESS PROVISIONS
BUILT INTO THE THE FUNDING FOR.
FUNNY MODEL PROPOSAL.
THEIR ALIBI MAY.
IT IS IT THE HOLD HARMLESS IS
BASED ON A BASE YEAR WHICH IS
DIE BY BELIEVE IT'S GOING TO BE
TWENTY SIXTEEN TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
ARM OF MY MAYBE OFFER YEAR BUT
IT'S.
THEY ARE DIFFERENT THERE HAS
BEEN DIFFERENT PROPOSALS SO BE
GOOD TO. GET TO A FINAL ONE TO
SEE WHAT THE ACTUAL IMPACT IS
GOING TO BE BUT IF WE GO BACK TO
WHAT WE INITIALLY HEARD. THERE
WAS NO CALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE
TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
BASE YEAR. SO THE HOLD HARMLESS.
COSTS ARE STILL GOING UP. BUT IF
THE CALL IS NOT BEING ATTACHED
TO THAT BASE. THEN. THE
OPERATIONS IS STILL BE HARD
BECAUSE YOU'RE GETTING LESS
MONEY YOUR DOLLAR IS WORTH LESS
AS THE YEARS ROLL OUT.
IF IT'S IF YOU'RE MOVING FORWARD
WITH THE HOLD HARMLESS AFTER FOR
THE FIRST YEAR AFTER THE SECOND
YEAR WE KNOW RIGHT NOW THE DATA
SHOWS AS THAT. OF A SIGNIFICANT
PERCENTAGES OF THE COLLEGES
ALREADY INSTABILITY.
WE'RE ALREADY INSTABILITY WE'RE
NOT GROWING IN THOSE GROWTH
MONIES ARE NOT COMING TO US. IN
SO.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THIS?
SECOND YEAR.
THIRD YEAR BECAUSE THE LANGUAGE
THAT WE READ WHAT THE RULING WAS
THAT I READ SAID THAT THEN YOU
WILL START TO.
READ TO HAVE REDUCED
APPORTIONMENT.
THAT REDUCES THE OPERATIONS THAT
REDUCES OUR ABILITY TO FUND THE
CURRENT EXPENDITURES WHICH MEANS
THAT.
CUTS WILL HAVE TO HAPPEN. STILL
I MEAN THAT'S THE REALITY UNLESS
THERE IS SOME.
OTHER TYPE OF MECHANISM PUT IN
PLACE THAT HOLD HARMLESS MEANS
HOLD HARMLESS THE LEVEL OF
OPERATIONAL COSTS.
THEN WE CAN HAVE A POSSIBLY A
NEUTRAL. IMPACT GOING FOR
HOWEVER MANY YEARS WE WANT TO
TRY TO ROLL OUT AND IMPLEMENT
THIS NEW. THIS NEW COLLEGE.
THOSE ARE JUST SOME THOUGHTS
THAT I WOULD I WOULD SHARE
CONCERNING THE FINANCE AND AND I
WOULD IT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A.
LET THE CONVERSATION ON THE
FUNDING FORMULA BUT I WOULD SAY.
MAKE SURE THAT THE IMPACT ONLINE
COLLEGE PIECE IS FACTORED INTO
YOUR PRESENTATION. AND YOUR
NUMBERS WHEN WE HAVE THAT NIGHT.
THINK THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE
WANTS TO. HAVE A COMMENT SINCE
WE STARTED DOWN THIS PATH AND I
KNOW MY COLLEAGUE ONCE HAVE A
QUICK QUESTION. WE ARE GONNA
HAVE A THIS IS GONNA BE A GEN
DIS.
BUT YET IN FAIRNESS SINCE WE
OPENED UP THIS CAN OF WORMS YOU
SHOULD BE ABLE TO JUMP IN AND I
DON'T NEED A WE CAN CLOSE SO
QUICKLY IT CHRISTMAS MONEY WITH
THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE I DON'T
WANT TO LOSE SIGHT OF THE FACT I
THINK WE LINK TO TO. THE FUNDING
FORMULA BUT WE ARE MAKING AN
ARGUMENT IN THE ONLINE COLLEGE
THAT WE ARE SERVING A POPULATION
THAT'S NOT SURFACE I THINK. WE
pPOINT THAT I THINK THERE'S A
QUESTION OF PROGRAM DESIGN AND
WHICH PROGRAMS WE CHOOSE TO
OFFER THE SHORT TERM. AND I
THINK THAT'S HOW WE'RE GETTING
AT THIS.
QUESTION OF BRINGING IN NEW
STUDENTS THAT WE WOULD DESIGN
PROGRAMS IS THE CHANCELLOR
MENTIONED EARLIER TODAY ONE OF
THE CORE COMPONENTS OF OUR.
PROGRAM DESIGN DECISIONS IS WHAT
WE ARE THERE GAPS IN THE SYSTEM
AND WHERE CAN WE BRING IN NEW
STUDENTS A MESSAGE AND I WOULD
BE.
IT WOULD BE SAFE TO SAY THAT YOU
ARE.
A MINORITY WITH THAT THEORY.
THAT THE MAJORITY.
MAY FEEL OTHERWISE AND SO.
I THINK IT IS A LEGITIMATE
CONCERN BUT I THINK IT IS A IT
IT'S A DECISION WE NEED TO MAKE
AND WHEN WE PICKED THE THREE
PATHWAYS THAT WERE PICKING THE
GOT. THE CHANCE TO TALK TODAY
ABOUT TEN OF THIS OPPORTUNITY IN
MEDICAL CODING I THINK WHEN
WE'RE LOOKING AT PATHWAYS WE'RE
LOOKING UP PLACES ONE OF THE
CRITERIA IS. WHERE DO WE SEE
GAPS IN EXISTENCE I HOPE I
MISSED? YOU HAD A QUESTION OR
MAD DOCTOR CULPEPPER DO YOU DO
YOU DO YOU HAVE ANY OTHER
SPECIFIC PROBLEMS WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S BUSINESS PLAN.
NOT NECESSARILY YOUR REDDIT.
I'VE READ I'VE READ IT.
I'VE READ IT I.
NO I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER
PROBLEMS WITH IT. I I THINK THAT
THE I I DO HAVE A CONCERN ABOUT
THE UNDERLYING PREMISE WHICH IS
THAT WE'RE NOT SERVING THIS
POPULATION OF STUDENTS. AND I
THINK I SAID THAT IN MY OPENING
DISCUSSION.
THE SAME AGE GROUP IS BEING
SERVED.
IN NON CREDIT.
THE SAME EXACT AGE GROUP. AND
EVEN THE CULTURAL AGE GROUP
BECAUSE THEY'RE HISPANIC WOULD
YOU MODIFY. I WOULD YES I WOULD
MODIFY.
I WOULD MODIFY GREATLY.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MANAGER OF
LAW OTHER YOUR HE SAT BACK YOUR
GET.
I GOT A PERSON.
OKAY BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
YOU GOT ALL YOUR QUESTIONS SO.
WELL I HAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS
MADE A BIG SOME SUMMER.
OKAY ALL RIGHT THANK YOU PANEL.
.
I THINK.
ONE OF THE THINGS I'M PLEASED
ABOUT WORK. FERRETING OUT ALL
THESE QUESTIONS AND I THINK. THE
FUNDING MODEL IS IMPORTANT.
I THINK. THERE'S BEEN PROGRESS
MADE AS I SAID BEFORE WHEN THE
CHANCELLOR'S HERE SINCE OUR
ORIGINAL PROPOSAL. BUT I THINK
THERE'S THERE'S MORE WORK TO BE
DONE AND.
THANK YOU FOR COMING UP FROM
WHAT'S SENATE DISTRICT IS
GLENDALE COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND.
ITSELF POINTING TO NOTE ARE I
JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S
THE BEST ANESTHETIC THAN THE
STATED CALVIN'S RIGHT.

MISTAKE FOR THE TWO MINUTES
WE'RE GONNA GO TO OUR NEXT PANEL.
ON APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS
PLEASE COME ON UP ON THE TURN
THE GAVEL OVER. TO MY COLLEAGUE
I WILL BE BACK BUT WE'RE GOING
TO CONTINUE TO GO ALL RIGHT.
WELL YOU HAVE FOR.
RIGHT.
YEAH.
I'M SORRY TO. BOSTON HOUSE AND
WITH THE ANALYSTS OFFICE.
THE SERGEANT IS DISTRIBUTING A
HAND OUT AND HAND OUT PROVIDES
BACKGROUND NECESSARY UNDERSTAND
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL OUR
ASSESSMENT AND RECOMMENDATIONS.
APPRENTICESHIP IS OFTEN CALLED
THE LEARNING WHILE EARNING. ME
MISTRESS DEEP HOUSE AND JUST.
FORGET ME.
MR BRAWL IS IS NOT.
CORRECT YOU'RE WRITING YOU'RE
PLACING ANCHOR CORRECT OKAY
GREAT IDEA AND I HAD USE FOURTH
IN ORDER SOLD BY PAULA JONES.
GO AHEAD I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
BOTH ON THE SAME DAY MY LORD
OKAY. OKAY SO SPONSORS WHICH
INCLUDE EMPLOYEES AND LABOR
EMPLOYERS AND LABOR UNIONS
RECRUIT APPRENTICES AND
APPRENTICES ARE PAID WAGES WHILE
THEIR TRAINING ON THE JOB. AND
AFTER BUSINESS HOURS.
APPRENTICES TAKE CLASSES RELATED
TO THE TRADE THEIR LEARNING AND
THAT CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION IS
KNOWN AS RELATED SUPPLEMENTAL
INSTRUCTION OR RSI.
TYPICALLY YOU FIND APPRENTICES
IN THE BUILDING AND CONSTRUCTION
TRADES AND PUBLIC SAFETY SUCH AS
FIREFIGHTERS. AND RESEARCH SHOWS
APPRENTICESHIP AS AN EFFECTIVE
TRAINING MODEL AND CALIFORNIA
HAS A GOAL TO DOUBLE THE NUMBER
OF APPRENTICES IN THE STATE BY
TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN.
PAGE TWO NOTES THAT THE STATE
HELP SUBSIDIZE SOME OF THE
SPONSORS CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION
COSTS OF THOSE T COSTS TO.
PROVIDE THERSI VIA CLASSROOM
TIME.
IN THE CURRENT YEAR THE STATE IS
PROVIDING FORTY MILLION DOLLARS
FOR RSI. IS THROUGH A
CATEGORICAL PROGRAMMING. I
SHOULD ALSO POINT OUT THAT THE
STATE HAS BEEN FINDING A NEW
INITIATIVE THE CALIFORNIA
APPRENTICESHIP INITIATIVE.
WHICH IS PROVIDING GRANTS AS
SEED MONEY.
TO DEVELOP.
APPRENTICESHIPS IN NON
TRADITIONAL PENSION FIELDS SUCH
AS INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
SO TO QUALIFY FOR THE STATE RSI
MONEY THE STATE CLASSROOM
INSTRUCTION MONEY THAT THE FORTY
MILLION DOLLARS I MENTION
SPONSORS MUST PARTNER WITH K.
TWELVE TYPICALLY SCHOOL
DISTRICTS. OR A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE AND TYPICALLY
APPRENTICESHIP WHAT YOU
TYPICALLY SEE IS APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS HIGHER THERE HAVE THEIR
OWN STANDALONE TRAINING CENTER.
AND THEY HIRE THEIR OWN
INSTRUCTORS TO TEACH THESE ARE
PSYCH CLASSES WHAT YOU ALSO
TYPICALLY SEE IS THAT SCHOOLS
AND COMMUNITY COLLEGES TAKE A
PORTION OF THE RSI MONEY OFF THE
TOP. AND THEN PASS THROUGH AND
PASS ON THE LION'S SHARE OF THAT
MONEY TO THE SPONSOR AND THE
SPONSORED AND IS RESPONSIBLE FOR
COVERING ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS
RELATED TO CONSTRUCTION. OF THE
APPRENTICES.
ON PAGE THREE OF WE KNOW THAT
ABOUT NINETY PERCENT OF
APPRENTICESHIP CLASSES ARE
AFFILIATED WITH THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE IS ABOUT NINETY PERCENT
OF CLASSES AFFILIATED WITH THE
COMMITTEE COLLEGES ARE CREDIT.
WHICH MEANS THAT THE COURSE
UNITS COUNT FOR CAN COUNT TOWARD
AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE THOUGH WHAT
YOU TYPICALLY SEE IS IT COUNTS
FOR ELECTIVE CREDIT. AS OPPOSED
TO MAJOR CREDIT. THE REMAINING
TEN PERCENT OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE
AFFILIATED COURSES AS WELL AS
ALL SCHOOL AFFILIATED CLASSES
ARE CONSIDERED NON CREDIT OR NOT
FOR CREDIT.
REGARDLESS THE CONTENT IS
COMPARABLE WHETHER IT'S OFFERED.
AFFILIATE FOR THE COMMUNICATIONS
ON A CREDIT BASIS NONCREDIT
BASES FOR THROUGH THE SCHOOLS
ALL OF THESE PROGRAMS RESULT IN
INDUSTRY CERTIFICATIONS. WHICH
IS WHAT. A WORKER NEEDS IN ORDER
TO BE A FULL FLEDGED JOURNEY
HAVE A FULL FLEDGED JOURNEY
PERSON OUR JOURNEY A WORKER
STATUS IN THEIR TRADE.
PAGE FOUR OF THE HAND OUT. SHOWS
THAT WEATHER RSI IS OFFERED ON A
CREDIT OR NON CREDIT BASIS BY A
SCHOOL DISTRICT OR BY COMMUNITY
COLLEGE THE STATE FUNDS THEY ARE
AT STAKE RSI. BASED ON THE
REGULAR COMMUNITY COLLEGE NON
CREDIT RATE WHICH IN THE CURRENT
YEAR WORKS OUT TO BE FIVE
DOLLARS AND NINETY CENTS PER.
HIS. CURRENT STRUCTURE IN OUR SO
THAT EQUATES TO ABOUT THIRTY ONE
HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A FULL TIME
EQUIVALENT STUDENT.
IN RECENT YEARS THE AMOUNT OF
OUR SITE HOURS. THAT SPONSORS
HAVE PROVIDED TO APPRENTICES HAS
OUTSTRIPPED THE AMOUNT OF MONEY
THAT THE STATE HAS BUDGETED FOR
RSI.
AND SO WHEN THAT HAPPENS THE
STATE HAS MADE PRO RATA
REDUCTIONS WHICH AS YOU CAN SEE
IN THE MIDDLE OF A HAND OUT
RANGES FROM A ABOUT A ONE
PERCENT REDUCTION. IN ONE YEAR
TOO IN THE CURRENT YEAR AN
ESTIMATED TWENTY FOUR PERCENT
REDUCTION SO INSTEAD OF PROVIDE
FIVE DOLLARS AND NINETY CENTS.
PER HOUR. PER STUDENT.
AS IT IS IN THE STATUTE THE
STATE IS PROVIDING AN AVERAGE OF
ABOUT FOUR DOLLARS AND FIFTY
CENTS.
DESPITE THESE PRO RATA
REDUCTIONS THESE REDUCTIONS THAT
THE STATE AND SPONSORS OF
EXPERIENCE OVER THE PAST FIVE
YEARS. SPONSORS HAVE INCREASED
SIGNIFICANTLY THE NUMBER OF
HOURS.
CLASSROOM HOURS RSA HOURS THAT
THEY PROVIDE. A AND IF YOU COULD
LOOK ON PAGE FIVE YOU'LL SEE
THAT INCREASE IN HOURS PROVIDED
BY THE SPONSORS IT'S GONE UP
EACH YEAR. AND THIS INCREASES
REALLY EVIDENCE OF THE VALUE
THAT SPONSORS PLACE ON
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS WHAT
IT'S DOING IS PRODUCING NEEDED
WORKERS AND HIGHLY TRAINED
WORKERS SO THAT. EMPLOYERS CAN
GROW GROW THE INDUSTRY.
ON PAGE SIX YOU'LL SEE THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL AND THERE'S
ACTUALLY THREE PROPOSALS. OF ONE
OF THE REASONS WHY WE HAVE THE
HAND OUT TAKES TO KEEP THEM
STRAIGHT. ARE THE FIRST ONE THE
FIRST CHECK BOX ON THAT PAGE SIX
IS THE GOVERNOR PROPOSES THIRTY
ONE MILLION DOLLARS ONE TIME. TO
MAKE UP FOR THOSE PRO RATA
REDUCTIONS I JUST MENTIONED
THOSE REDUCTIONS THAT THAT
HAPPENED BETWEEN TWO THOUSAND
THIRTEEN FOURTEEN AND IN THE
CURRENT YEAR. THE PROPOSAL THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL DOES NOT
PLACE ANY RESTRICTIONS ON USE OF
THESE FUNDS BY THE RECIPIENTS.
THE SECOND CHECK BOX YOU'LL SEE
THAT THE GOVERNOR ALSO PROVIDE
SEVENTEEN POINT EIGHT MILLION
DOLLARS ON GOING. FOR RSI MOST
OF THAT MONEY IS ASSOCIATED WITH
FINDING MORE RSI HOURS. AND SO
WE WERE IN THE IN TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN. THE FUNDING
LEVEL FOR IT FOR HOURS WOULD BE
EQUIVALENT TO WHAT. ESTIMATED
ACTUAL AMOUNT OF HOURS ARE IN
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN.
WHICH IS JUST UNDER NINE MILLION
HOURS OF INSTRUCTION TIME.
THE REST OF THE MONEY THE
GOVERNOR PROPOSES ON ONGOING
BASIS IS ASSOCIATED WITH
INCREASING THE RSA HIGH RATE TO
SIX DOLLARS AND FORTY NINE CENTS
SINCE THEN SET AT FIVE DOLLARS
NINETY CENTS CURRENTLY.
SO THE THIRD PROPOSAL THE
GOVERNOR HAS IS TO ALLOW SOME
COMMUNITY COLLEGE APPRENTICESHIP
COURSES TO GENERATE FUNDING AT A
MUCH HIGHER RATE MUCH HIGHER
THAN THAT SIX DOLLARS AND FORTY
NINE CENTS HE WOULD BE TEN
DOLLARS AND THIRTY EIGHT CENTS
OF THE HOURLY RATE. SO SIXTY
PERCENT HIGHER THAN THAN THE
PROPOSED SIX DOLLAR FORTY NINE
CENT RATE.
THE FINDING ANOTHER DIFFERENCES
FUNDING WOULD BE PAID OUT OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGES GENERAL
PURPOSE POT OF MONEY THEIR
PORTION IT'S RATHER THAN
CATEGORICAL. THE CATEGORICAL
PROGRAM.
NOW IN ORDER TO EARN IS HIGHER
FUNDING RATE A PRE
APPRENTICESHIP COURSES WE HAVE
TO BE TAUGHT BY COMMUNITY
COLLEGEINSTRUCTORS. RATHER THAN
WHAT YOU TYPICALLY SEE NOW WHICH
IS EMPLOYEES OF THE SPONSOR.
AND THE GOVERNOR INDICATES THAT
THE PROPOSAL COULD IT CREATE
BETTER INCENTIVES FOR COLLEGES
TO OFFER A CREDIT
APPRENTICESHIPS.
THE PAGE SEVEN OF THE HAND OUT
CONTAINS OUR ASSESSMENT.
WITH REGARD TO THE GOVERNOR'S
FIRST PROPOSAL STATE LAW DOES
HAVE THE STATUTORY RAPE BUT DOES
MAKE CLEAR THAT IF THE STATE
FUNDING IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO
COVER ALL HOURS ALL THESE ARE AS
I HOURS THAT SPONSORS ARE TO
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS. TO STAY WITHIN
THE ANNUAL BUDGET ALLOCATION.
DESPITE KNOWING THAT THE STATE
REIMBURSEMENT RATE WAS VERY
LIKELY TO BE PRO RATED DOWNWARD
AFTERALL WAS DOWN RATED.
RATED DOWNWARD FIVE YEARS IN A
ROW SPONSORS HAVE CONTINUED TO
COVER THESE COSTS. IN THE
PROGRAM IS CONTINUE TO GO GROW
RAPIDLY SO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IS
EMPLOYEES. FEEL THAT. IT'S WORTH
IT AND THEY'VE KICKED IN THE
EXTRA MONEY. SO AS A RESULT WE
DON'T SEE A COMPELLING REASON TO
PROVIDE THESE RETROACTIVE
REIMBURSEMENTS GIVEN THAT THE
PROGRAM HAS BEEN GROWING ANYWAY.
THOUGH.
PROVIDING RETROACTIVE
REIMBURSEMENTS IS UNNECESSARY IN
OUR VIEW WE DO AGREE WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL IT DOES MAKE
SENSE FOR THE STATE TO FIND. OUT
TO TRY TO AVOID FUTURE PRO RATA
REDUCTIONS AT LEE REALLY MAKE IT
EASIER FOR SPONSORS TO PLAN
THEIR PROGRAMS. IF ANYTHING
THOUGH WERE WERE A LITTLE
CONCERNED THAT THE PROPOSED
SEVENTEEN EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS
AT THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSING FOR
THE ONGOING BASIS THIS NOT
ACTUALLY ENOUGH. REMEMBER I
MENTIONED THAT THE GOVERNOR
FINDS THE EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
LEVEL OF OURS INSTRUCTION HOURS
AT THE SAME LEVEL AS WHAT'S.
PROJECTED TO HAPPEN IN THE
CURRENT YEAR AND GIVEN. TRENDS
THE RATE THE RATE OF
INSTRUCTIONS ACCIDENT GROWING BY
ABOUT TEN PERCENT A YEAR.
I'M ON THE THIRD CHECKBOX YOU'LL
SEE WE DON'T THINK THAT
SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASING THE
FUNDING RATE FOR CERTAIN
COMMUNITY COLLEGE APPRENTICESHIP
COURSES IS WARRANTED. THE
GOVERNOR WANTS TO EXPAND CREDIT
APPRENTICESHIPS YET THEY NOTED
EARLIER VIRTUALLY ALL OF.
APPRENTICESHIPS OFFERED ARE
AFFILIATED WITH THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ARE ALREADY OFFERED. ON
A CREDIT BASIS THERE'S JUST TOO
COMMITTEE COLLEGES OUT OF TWENTY
FOUR SO THAT OFFERED ON A NON
CREDIT BASIS. AND ALSO GIVEN HOW
QUICKLY APPRENTICESHIPS HAVE
BEEN GROWING IN RECENT YEARS THE
STATES ALREADY ON TRACK TO MEET
THAT GOAL OF A HUNDRED AND SIXTY
THOUSAND REGISTERED APPRENTICES
BY TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN.
WE ALSO KNOW THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
PROVIDER THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL
WHAT WAS ALREADY A COMPLICATED
SYSTEM WOULD EVEN BECOME MORE
COMPLICATED. WITH A HIGHER
FUNDING RATE FOR CERTAIN
COMMUNITY COLLEGE APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS BUT NOT FOR CERTAIN
OTHER COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROGRAMS
AND AND AND DIFFERENT AS WELL
FROM SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
SO EVEN THOUGH THE CONTENT IS
COMPARABLE.
EVEN HAVE DIFFERENT EDUCATIONAL
AGENCIES RECEIVING DIFFERENT
RATES.
SO PAGE EIGHT SUMMARIZES OUR
RECOMMENDATIONS WE RECOMMEND
THAT YOU LEGISLATE TO REJECT THE
RETROACTIVE REIMBURSEMENTS AS
PROPOSED BY THE GOVERNOR. WE DO
THINK THAT. A HIGHER AMOUNT
HIGHER THAN THE GOVERNOR
SEVENTEEN POINT EIGHT MILLION
DOLLARS AN ONGOING MONEY IS
WARRANTED WE'RE RECOMMENDING
TWENTY THREE POINT SIX MILLION
DOLLARS ON GOING. AND THAT WOULD
FIND TEN PERCENT GROWTH IN
INSTRUCTIONAL HOURS AND EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN WHICH IS THE AVERAGE
LEVEL OF GROWTH OF THE PAST FIVE
YEARS AS I MENTIONED. WE ALSO
RECOMMEND GOING FOR THE
LEGISLATURE ANNUALLY ADJUST THE
AMOUNT OF OUR A SIRE CLASSROOM
HOURS THAT IT FUNDS SO THAT WE
DON'T HAVE THIS SYSTEM THIS.
CONTINUED ISSUE OF THE SPONSORS
THE EMPLOYERS AND LABOR UNIONS
KIND OF FALLING SHORT IN TERMS
OF OF WHAT WHAT THEY'RE
RECEIVING FROM THE STATE. AND
FINALLY WE RECOMMEND YOU REJECT
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL TO ALLOW
COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO LEARN A
SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER RATE FOR
CERTAIN COURSES.
THANK YOU RESTRICTING HASN'T
THANK YOU THE DEBATE IS ON
HAPPENS BEEN. TIME FOR POINT
COUNTERPOINT. RESPONSE BY.
GOOD AFTERNOON SIR NO MORE LIKE
MOLLY KLAUS APART WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE FIRST OFF
I'D JUST LIKE TO THANK PAUL FOR
GIVING A GREAT COMPREHENSIVE
KIND OF PICTURE OF HOW
APPRENTICESHIP IS FUNDED IN THE
STATE BECAUSE IT IS VERY
COMPLICATED. OUT. THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET INCLUDES AN INCREASE OF
FORTY EIGHT POINT FOUR MILLION
TO THE STATE'S APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS THROUGH GENERAL. UP
FRONT NINETY EIGHT GENERAL FUND.
OF THIS AMOUNT THIRTY POINT SIX
MILLION IS PROVIDED ON A ONE
TIME BASIS. TO FUND SHORTFALLS
IN RELATED AND SUPPLEMENTAL
INSTRUCTION OR SI REIMBURSEMENTS.
THAT THE STATE HAS PROVIDED TO
APPRENTICESHIP SPOKE PROGRAM
SPONSORED THROUGH BOTH K. TWELVE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COMMUNITY
COLLEGES BETWEEN TWO THOUSAND
THIRTEEN FOURTEEN AND TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN. WE
ARE PROPOSING TO FUND THESE
PRIOR YOUR SHORTFALLS IN OUR
SIDE REIMBURSEMENTS. BECAUSE THE
STATE IS EXPECTED AND SUPPOSED
TO PAY FOR THE COST OF THE
CLASSROOM INSTRUCTIONAL
COMPONENT OF AN APPRENTICES
PROGRAM.
MISHA PROGRAMS HAVE BEEN
SIGNIFICANTLY UNDER FUNDED IN
THE PAST FIVE YEARS AND PROGRAM
SPONSORS HAVE HAD TO COVER THESE
UNFUNDED COSTS. THE
ADMINISTRATION BELIEVES THAT
THIS IS A GOOD USE OF AVAILABLE
PROP NINETY EIGHT REVENUES AT
THIS ONE TIME.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET ALSO
INCLUDES AN ADDITIONAL SEVENTEEN
POINT EIGHT MILLION ON GOING TO
REIMBURSE APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS FOR ADDITIONAL
INSTRUCTIONAL HOURS PROVIDED. AT
THE INCREASED RATE OF SIX
DOLLARS AND FORTY NINE CENTS PER
HOUR IN TWO THOUSAND EGHTEEN
NINETEEN. IN RESPONSE TO LA IS
CONCERNS ABOUT WHY WE ARE
INCREASING THE NUMBER OF HOURS
OR FINDING AN EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
BUT RATHER HOLDING THE TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN RSI
FLOUR OURS.
FLAT.
EVEN THE TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN NUMBERS ARE ESTIMATES
THEY HAVEN'T BEEN VERIFIED YET.
AND SO WE JUST THINK IT MAKES
SENSE TO HOLD THAT FLAT AND THEN
EVERY SPRING. PROGRAM SPONSORS
SUBMIT THEIR UPDATED HOURS TO
THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE. AND IN
THIS COMING MAY REVISION WE WILL
PROBABLY BE ALTERING THE AMOUNTS
A LITTLE BIT TO REFLECT THE
LATEST SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN
NUMBERS. SO WE JUST THINK IT
MAKES SENSE TO HOLD ON AND AND.
CHANGE THE TWO THOUSAND EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN NUMBERS WHEN WE HAVE A
LITTLE BIT MORE DATA.
SO CONSISTENT WITH THE PAST
THREE YEARS THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET CONTINUES TO INCLUDE
FIFTEEN MILLION FOR THE
CALIFORNIA APPRENTICESHIP
INITIATIVE WHICH THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE ADMINISTERS
THROUGH A COMPETITIVE GRANT
PROGRAM. TO PROVIDE START UP IN
INFORMATION IMPLEMENTATION COSTS
FOR NEW AND OF AN INNOVATIVE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS AN
EMERGING NONTRADITIONAL INDUSTRY
SECTORS. AND FOR PRE
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAMS.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS ALSO
PROPOSING NEW TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE THAT WOULD ALLOW
COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO CLAIM
REIMBURSEMENT. THROUGH THE
COLLEGE CREDIT APPORTIONMENT
RATE RATHER THAN THE RSI RATE
FOR CERTAIN FRIENDSHIP COURSES
OFFERED BY THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. SPECIFICALLY ONLY FOUR
CREDIT COURSES TAUGHT BY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE INSTRUCTORS
WOULD BE ELIGIBLE TO AGREE BE
REIMBURSED AT THE HIGHER
APPORTIONMENT RATE OPTION.
THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE HAS
REQUESTED THIS ALTERNATIVE
REIMBURSEMENT OFF OPTION FOR
SEVERAL REASONS. FIRST IT WOULD
ENCOURAGE MORE APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS TO BE CREATED ACROSS
THE STREET. THE FEDERAL
WORKFORCE INNOVATION AND
OPPORTUNITY ACT WERE WE OWE IT
REQUIRES EACH STATE TO DEVELOP A
WORK FORCE PLANNED. IN
CALIFORNIA'S PLANT EXPECTS THE
STATE TO DOUBLE THE NUMBER OF
TRAINED APPRENTICES BY TWO
THOUSAND TENTY SEVEN. WE WOULD
EXPECT THAT SOME. PROGRAMS THAT
WOULD RECEIVE CALIFORNIA
APPRENTICESHIP INITIATIVE GRANTS
WOULD COLLABORATE WITH THEIR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SPONSORS AS
THEY DEVELOP THE PROGRAM
CURRICULUM. TO HAVE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE FACULTY TEACH SOME OF
THEIR APPRENTICESHIP COURSES TO
RECEIVE THE HIGHER FUNDING RIGHT.
THE COLLEGES OFFER A WIDE
VARIETY OF CREDIT CERTIFICATE
PROGRAMS WHICH ARE TAUGHT BY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY. THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE HAD POINTED
HAS POINTED OUT THAT THIS
PROPOSAL WOULD ENCOURAGE
COLLEGES TO WORK WITH AN
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM SPONSORS.
TO CREATE NEW APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS THAT ARE ALIGNED WITH
THAT CERTIFICATE PROGRAM.
CURRENTLY COLLEGES HAVE NO
INCENTIVE TO DO THIS BECAUSE
THEY WOULD BE REIMBURSED AT THE
LOWER RSI RATE. SO THESE OTHER
ARE THE TWO PRIMARY
JUSTIFICATIONS FOR THAT THIS
PROPOSAL IS THAT IT WOULD LIKELY
CREATE MORE APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS.
.
THE PROPOSED APPORTIONMENT ME
IMPATIENT REIMBURSEMENT OPTION
IS ALSO EXPECTED TO FREE UP SOME
RSI FUNDS AS AS SOME PROGRAMS GO
FOR THE APPORTIONMENT OPTION.
THESE FUNDS COULD UP FINED
PROGRAM EXPANSIONS AT K. TWELVE
AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROGRAMS
THAT CONTINUE TO USE THE RSI.
REIMBURSEMENT OPTION AND IT
WOULD ALSO FIND OUR SITE
REIMBURSEMENTS FOR. NEW PROGRAMS
THAT ARE STARTED UNDER THE
CALIFORNIA APPRENTICESHIP
INITIATIVE WHICH CURRENTLY YOU
KNOW ARE NOT ARE NOT. ABLE TO
COLLECT SOME OF THE ARTISTS I
FIND SO GOING FORWARD AS THESE
PROGRAMS COME ONLINE. IF THEY
CLAIM RSI THERE MIGHT BE
AVAILABLE DOLLARS THERE.
AND LASTLY BY ENCOURAGING
COLLEGES TO OFFER MORE
APPRENTICESHIP COURSES FOR WHICH
THEY CAN CLAIM THE F. T. ES
APPORTIONMENT RATE WOULD HELP
COLLEGES INCREASE THEIR F. T. S..
AT A TIME WHEN MANY COLLEGES ARE
EXPERIENCING DECLINING
ENROLLMENTS.
THANK YOU AND I'D. BE HAPPY TO
ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS THANK YOU
MISS BECAUSE OF BIRTH.
.
RELIGION OR HOBBY OR HOW MANY
CONFUSE YOU AND I'LL GO FIRST
OKAY MISTRUST MEAN I TAKE IT
AWAY CHRISTIAN US UNDER THE
DEPARTMENT OF FIGHT OR EXCUSING
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES CHANCES I
THOUGHT I HAD WAS OF. LEFT THERE
I DID SOLICIT.
SO YOU KNOW I COLLEAGUES AT THE
LA ILL AND FINANCE HAVE STOLEN
MOST OF THE TALKING POINTS SO I
WILL REITERATE.
JUST SOME OF THE LOGIC ON EACH
WHICH WE THINK I THINK THAT THE
CORE FOR FOR ALL OF THESE THAT
WE THINK THIS IS JUST A
REASONABLE BUDGETING PRACTICE SO.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE BUDGET YOU
DEAL WITH PROGRAMS THAT WHOSE
COSTS VARY BASED ON. THE CHANGES
IN ESTIMATES OF ROMAN CATHOLIC
POPULATION AND CHANGES IN THE
RATES THAT'S HOW I WOULD
CHARACTERIZE ALL OF THESE
PROPOSALS. ON THE THIRTY ONE
MILLION DOLLARS ONE TIME. WE
SPECIFIED ARRAY OF FUN OR BE
SPECIFIED A RATE OF FUNDING THAT
WE WOULD FIND OUR SITE HOURS.
WE'VE HAD TO DEFICIT THOSE.
OVER THOSE RATES BECAUSE OF THE
NUMBER OF HOURS OF EXCEEDED WHAT
YOU ESTIMATED AT A PARTICULAR
POINT IN TIME.
WE THINK IT MAKES SENSE TO. TO
REVISE THAT ESTIMATE AND PROVIDE
FUNDING TO THE COLLEGES BASED ON
ADD TO THE PROVIDERS BASED ON
THE LEVEL THAT'S A STATE LAW
SPECIFIED IN THAT YEAR. FOR THE
FOURTEEN MILLION DOLLARS I THINK
THIS IS A STANDARD BUDGETING
PRACTICE THAT WE WOULD EXPECT WE
WOULD CREATE AN ESTIMATE OF THE
DEMAND FOR OUR SIDE OURS. AND WE
WOULD JUST BUDGETS TO REFLECT
THAT DEMAND. OTHER THIRD
ADJUSTMENT THE FOUR MILLION
DOLLARS OF THE PALEO RAISED THIS
AGAIN IS WHAT YOU DO ACROSS THE
BUDGET WE SPECIFY THE RATE AT
WHICH WE WOULD FIND A PROGRAM.
AND WE WERE JUST FUNDING TO
MATCH THAT RATE. AND THEN ON THE
THE POLICY PROPOSAL TO AUTHORIZE
COURSES AND APPRENTICESHIP
PROGRAMS THAT ARE OFFERED ON A
CREDIT BASIS TO GENERATE
APPORTIONMENT. I THINK THE
COMPARISON THAT WE WOULD USE
HERE IS THAT. YOU WOULD WANT TO
FIND A COMPARABLE TYPES OF
COURSES COMPARABLY ACROSS THE
BUDGET AND SO WE ARE USING WE
ARE GIVING IT AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
FOLKS WHO ARE OFFERING CREDIT
COURSES TO GENERATE THE CREDIT.
RATES THAT ARE PROVIDED TO OTHER
CULTURES.
WITH THAT OF MY COLLEAGUE COPIER
REPAIRMAN I CAN ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THAT A. THAT YOU MIGHT
HAVE.
NO COMMENT.
I'LL JUST ADD THAT.
YOU KNOW ON THE POLICY REGARDING
ALLOWING COLLEGES TO. READ ME
REIMBURSED AT A HIGHER RATE LIKE
OTHER CREDIT. ARM I THINK IS
ESSENTIAL WHERE WE'RE MAKING A
LOT OF INVESTMENTS TO EXPAND
APPRENTICESHIP. TRAINING
PROGRAMS AND INDUSTRY THAT
CURRENTLY DON'T USE THEM. I
THINK WE UNDERMINE THAT
INVESTMENT BY. CREATING THAT
DISINCENTIVE TO COLLEGES TO
UTILIZE THEIR QUALITY CT
PROGRAMS AND OTHER EDUCATION
COMPONENTS THAT THEY HAVE RIGHT
NOW. APPROVING THEY'RE
COLLECTING FULL F. T. IS ON THEM
ENOUGH TO ASK THEM TO THEN
LEVERAGE THOSE PROGRAMS TO
APPRENTICESHIP PROGRAM AT LOWER
LOWER RATE.
UNDERMINES OUR EXPANSION EFFORTS
HERE.
GREAT I I HAVE NO QUESTIONS.
SO I GUESS I WOULD CONCLUDE THIS
PANEL WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO ASK
EVERYBODY TO DO.
IT'S GOING TO THE HALL ON NEVER
MIND.
HE.
YOU CAN RETURN TO POWER OUR TO
CLEAR OUT THE ROOM.
AND THEY DO AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE
IF THEY WERE ALL DONE.
BUT HE'S GOT HERE IN THE NICK OF
TIME AND I BEAT IT.
WELL THANK YOU I'M ACTUALLY
LISTENING IN THE OTHER ROOM.
SO I HEARD EVERY WORD YOU ALL
SET OTHER YOU WOULD HURT MY
GETTING TO KNOW IT AND I WAS IN
THE HALLWAY THAT FOR.
AND SO THAT WAS.
RIGHT CAPITAL OUTLAY.
I WILL TAKE.
CAPITAL OUTLAY YOU GONNA TAKE A
BREAK. GONNA STAND RIGHT BACK
ALRIGHT YOU CAN CLEAR THE ROOM.
ALRIGHT.
TAKE IT AWAY CAPITAL OUTLAY. WHO
WAS AROUND HIM THERE?
HELLO I AM READY CATS WITH THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE THANK YOU
SENATOR PORTENTS YOU KNOW FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGES CAPITAL
OUTLAY PROPOSAL.
THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL
PROVIDE SIXTY FOUR POINT TWO
MILLION INDIA MONTESSORI FOR
SIXTEEN CONTINUING AND SIX NEW
PROJECTS. THAT ADDRESS CRITICAL
FIRE LIFE SAFETY ISSUE STATEWIDE.
ALL BUT ONE PROJECT WILL BE
FUNDED FROM PROP FIFTY ONE BONDS.
OVERALL THESE PROJECTS WOULD
OBLIGATE APPROXIMATELY SIX
HUNDRED MILLION OF THE TWO
BILLION AND PROP FIFTY ONE FUNDS
PROVIDED FOR THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES.
THE ADMINISTRATION'S RATIONALE
FOR CAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECTS
ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS STATEWIDE
IS THAT FUNDS FOR NEW PROJECTS
SHOULD BE LIMITED TO ISSUES SUCH
AS FIRE LIFE SAFETY RECORD
MANDATE.
WE WOULD NOTE THAT VIOLATE
SAFETY DOES NOT NEED TO BE THE
SOLE REASON FOR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE PROJECT TO BE CONSIDERED
FOR FUNDING. FOR THIS SHOULD BE
A SIGNIFICANT DRIVER.
IN ADDITION THE ADMINISTRATION
CONSIDERS WHETHER WE ARE
REQUESTING DISTRICT CAN PROVIDE
SOME LEVEL OF MATCH WHETHER
THEY'RE EXTENUATING
CIRCUMSTANCES THAT PREVENT THE
DISTRICT FROM CONTRIBUTING.
EXAMPLE OF THE LATTER WOULD
INCLUDE REDWOODS COMMUNITY
COLLEGE DISTRICT A SMALL
DISTRICT WITH SIGNIFICANT
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS RESULTING
FROM FROM RECENT US SEISMIC
ANALYSES.
CONSISTENT WITH THIS POLICY THE
ADMINISTRATION EXPECTS OF THOUGH
THE LOCAL MATCHING FUNDS AS PART
OF THE FUTURE REQUESTS. FOR THE
CONSTRUCTION PHASE OF THREE
CONTINUING PROJECTS. TO IN THE
SAN FRANCISCO COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT AND ONE IN THE PAST IN
A COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT.
FROM THERE WAS A QUESTION ABOUT
THE COST OF THE WAY. WE
GENERALLY ASSUME THAT THE COST
OF THE LAZIEST MAN ABOUT FIVE
PERCENT A YEAR. THAT SAID THE
CALIFORNIA FIVE YEAR
INFRASTRUCTURE PLAN NOTES THAT
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES REPORT
APPROXIMATELY TWENTY ONE POINT
FIVE BILLION DOLLARS IN
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS OVER THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS.
WITH ONLY ONE POINT FOUR BILLION
IN REMAINING PROP FIFTY ONE
FUNDS STATE INVESTMENTS SHOULD
BE FOCUSED ON THOSE PROJECTS
THAT ADDRESSCRITICAL FIRE LIFE
SAFETY ISSUES.
THANK YOU AND I'D BE HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
THANK.
CHRISTMAS MANY WITH THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE OF AND WE
APPRECIATE THE KNOWLEDGE WITHIN
THE AGENDA. OF THE REVIEW AND
APPROVAL PROCESS THAT ART OFFICE
CONDUCTS ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD
OF GOVERNORS.
IN THE IMMEDIATE TERM OUR
HIGHEST PRIORITY IN THIS AREA IS
SECURING FUNDING FOR THEIR
PROJECTS INCLUDED IN THE
SYSTEM'S BUDGET REQUEST. AS YOUR
AGENDA NOTES IN PREPARING OUR
SUBMITTAL FOR ADOPTION BY THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN WE FOCUSED ON
PROJECTS THAT WERE UNDERFUNDED
IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN.
THESE REPRESENT OUR HIGHEST
PRIORITIES OUR PROPOSAL INCLUDES
THIRTY PROJECTS FIFTEEN
CONTINUING PROJECTS AND FIFTEEN
NEW PROJECTS. AND THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET.
FUND SIX OF THOSE PROJECTS FIVE
AT FIVE IN JANUARY AND ONE
ADDITIONAL PROJECT AND AM APRIL
REVISION.
ARE ASKING THIS BROUGHT BUDGET
PROCESS IS THAT YOU APPROVE THE
REMAINING PROJECTS ON THE BOARD
OF GOVERNORS REQUEST. I WANT TO
MAKE SURE TO REITERATE THE
MAGNITUDE OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE
NEED IN THE SYSTEM. OUR FIVE
YEAR PLAN ADOPTED BY THE BOARD
OF GOVERNORS PROJECTS IN NEED OF
TWENTY ONE BILLION DOLLARS FOR
CAPITAL PROJECTS OVER A FIVE
YEAR PERIOD FROM TWENTY EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN TO TWENTY TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE. AND I BROUGHT
COPIES OF THOSE PLANS.
FOR YOU TO REVIEW.
OF THAT SEVEN SIXTY NINE BILLION
IS FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NEW
FACILITIES IN ABOUT TWELVE
BILLION IS FOR MODERNIZATION OF
EXISTING FACILITIES. OVER TEN
YEARS WE ESTIMATE THE NEED GROWS
AS YOU KNOW MEETING THE
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS OF THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS A
RESPONSIBILITY THAT HAS BEEN
SHARED BY THE STATE AND THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS. AND
AND JUST FOR BACKGROUND WE
ACCOUNT FOR THAT IN OUR PLANNING
PROCESS GENERALLY WE ESTIMATE
THAT ABOUT FORTY PERCENT OF THE
NEED WILL BE ADDRESSED. WITH
LOCAL FUNDS AND AFTER ACCOUNTING
FOR LOCAL FUNDS AND PROPOSITION
FIFTY ONE BOND FUNDS WE ESTIMATE
WE INCLUDE IN OUR PLAN IS
SEVENTEEN BILLION OF ADDITIONAL
STATE FUNDS NEEDED OVER THE NEXT
TEN YEARS. AND SO OVER THE
LONGER TERM WE HOPE TO HAVE A
DISCUSSION WITH YOU ABOUT HOW
BEST TO MEET THE COLLEGES
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS. AS YOU
KNOW WELL CHANCELLOR OAKLEY HAS
BEEN WILLING TO REFORM EXISTING
PRACTICES TO MEET THE VISION FOR
SUCCESS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR
STUDENTS. AND WE HOPE TO
CONSIDER HOW WE CAN DO THAT IN
THIS AREA TO.
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WRONG WITH THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE AND WE DON'T
HAVE ANY SPECIFIC CONCERNS WITH
THE PROPOSALS FOR THE PROJECTS
THAT WERE INCLUDED IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. WITH INVALID
DRESSED NOTABLE PROBLEMS THAT
EXIST. IN OUR OUR PRIMARY
CONCERN THAT WE RAISE IS THAT
THE GOVERNOR FUNDS TOO FEW
PROJECTS CONSIDERING THE AMOUNT
OF PROP FIFTY ONE FUNDING THAT'S
AVAILABLE. OF THE THE THE
PROJECT THAT ARE FUNDED IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET AND. ACCOUNT
FOR ABOUT SEVEN PERCENT OF PROP
FIFTY ONE BOND FUNDING INTO WITH
THE GIVEN THAT THE VOTERS HAVE
APPROVED THIS ADDITIONAL FUNDING
THAT THAT THAT. ARM YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER FUNDING OUR PROJECTS
ARE BEYOND WITH WATER IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. WHAT WE
RECOMMEND IS THAT THE
LEGISLATURE CONSIDERING CONSIDER
DEVELOPING A MULTI YEAR PLAN FOR?
HOW THEY'RE GOING TO SPEND?
CAPITAL CAPITAL OUTLAY OR BOND
FUNDS. ARM IN THIS WOULD HELP
PROVIDE PROVIDE CERTAINTY FOR
COLLEGES. IT WOULD ENSURE THAT%
THE VOTER APPROVED BOND FUNDS
ARE USED IN A TIMELY MANNER AND
THAT BOND SALES ARE SPREAD
THROUGHOUT.
THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD.
I WOULD ALSO NOTE IN THE THIRD.
SOME APRIL PROPOSALS ONE IS I'M
ADDING A NEW PROJECT IN IMPERIAL
VALLEY COLLEGE PROJECT AND THEN
TO PROVIDE AUTHORITY FOR THE
WORKING DRAWINGS FUNDING FOR US
OF FOR ALL THE PROJECTS THAT
WERE INCLUDED IN JANUARY. WE
WOULD JUST NOTE THAT
HISTORICALLY THE THE THE THE
RECOMMENDED BEST PRACTICE HAS
BEEN TO IT TO FUND THESE
PROJECTS ONE PHASE AT A TIME.
TO TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU DO
APPROVE TWO PHASES.
THAT MIGHT LIMIT THE ABILITY TO
REVIEW THESE YEAH I'M A MAN IN
THE FUTURE. EVENT IN THE IN THE
IMPERIAL VALLEY COLLEGE PROJECT
THEY'RE JUST NOT I THINK OUR
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE
PROJECT.
THE THAT THE COST OF THAT
PROJECT WILL BE TO BE A COST
ESTIMATE WILL NEED TO BE REDONE
BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SOME
SEISMIC. I'M ISSUES THAT ARE
BETTER IDENTIFIED SO. IF YOU DO
GO AHEAD AND APPROVE THE PROJECT
JUST BE AWARE THAT IT'S VERY
LIKELY THAT THOSE PROJECT COSTS
COME COULD COME IN VERY
DIFFERENTLY.
SINCE I SEE SEVERAL LIKE
FLIPPING THROUGH I ALSO BROUGHT
A COPY IN RESPONSE TO OUR
CONVERSATION AT THE LAST.
HEARING SO I GAVE YOU A COPY OF
THE OF THE CAPITAL PLAN THIS IS
ALSO OUR STATE OF THE SYSTEM
REPORT THAT SHOWS CURRENT
PROGRESS. OUR CURRENT OUTCOMES
AND WHERE HOW WE'RE MAKING
PROGRESS TOWARDS VISION FOR
SUCCESS SEE THAT YOU ASK AND
THEN IT HAPPENS.
CHRISTIANS AN IMPRESSIVE
IMPRESSIVE YOUNG MAN. SO I DO
HAVE WILD MR MALEK LOOKING
THROUGH THE BOOKS I DO I DO HAVE
A QUESTION. COM.
SO.
BOARD OF GOVERNORS ONCE FOURTEEN.
RIGHT.
CORRECT.
YOU'RE GONNA GIVE HIM SIX.
A CORRECTED SIGNED INTO LAW
FOURTEEN. IT IS OUR FOCUS ON THE
FIRE LIFE SAFETY AND THE
RECOGNITION THAT THERE'S TENS OF
BILLIONS OF PROJECTS IN THE
PIPELINE AND SO. WE CAN FOCUS ON
THOSE THAT EITHER ARE ARE FULLY
FIRE LIFE SAFETY OR HAVE THAT
FIRE LIFE SAFETY COMPONENTS
ALONG WITH ADDRESSING UNDERNEATH
BUT IF WE ONLY DRAW THE LINE
THERE WILL NEVER GET TO ANYTHING
ELSE.
DOESN'T THAT INHERENTLY JUST
DRIVE UP THE COST I THINK PART
OF THAT IS. PART OF THAT THE
CONFLICT THAT THERE'S ONLY A
FIXED AMOUNT OF BONDS AVAILABLE
SO THERE'S TWO BILLION IN BONDS
THERE'S TWENTY ONE BILLION IN
AID.
AND.
DO YOU.
DO YOU THINK WE DON'T HAVE THE
CAPACITY TO DO ALL FOURTEEN.
NO I MET THINK WE HAVE. THEIR
THEIR.
.
THAT MANY OF THEIROBVIOUSLY
PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY BEEN
APPROVED BY THE CHANCES OF A FAT
* THAT WOULD BE READY TO BE
APPROVED AND FUNDED. SO I THINK
WE FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE. THE
VOTERS APPROVE THIS BOND FUNDING
IT WE SHOULD GO AHEAD AND AND
UTILIZE THE FUNDS AND AND SPEND
THEM OVER A THE NEXT SEVERAL
YEARS SO. ROBERT SPECTOR YOU'RE
GLAD AND FOR THAT I THINK THE
ADMINISTRATION PERSPECTIVE I
THINK THEY'RE TRYING TO
PRIORITIZE IF IF THEY IF IF
THERE ARE LIMITED AMOUNTS OF
FUNDING YOU SHOULD ONLY FUND.
THE FIRE LIFE SAFETY BECAUSE YOU
MIGHT BE ABLE TO FUND ALL OF
THAT.
SORT OF IT IF YOU IF YOU WENT
ALONG ON A LONGER TERM I THINK
FROM FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE WE
THINK THAT THE THE CHANCES
OFFICE HAVE A SYSTE FOR
PRIORITIZING THOSE PROJECTS IN
REVIEWING THEM. IF THEY'VE BEEN
APPROVED THEY SEEM REASONABLE TO
YOU.
WE SHOULD DO IT SO CHRISTIAN.
TELL THE ADMINISTRATION YOU'RE
GOING TO WITHDRAW YOUR SUPPORT
OF THE ONLINE COLLEGE UNTIL THEY
FIND TO THEY FIND ALL OF THE
CAPITAL OUTLAY PROJECTS RIGHT.
I THINK WE'VE GOT A LOT OF
PRIORITIES. KAMAL FUNDED HE
MIGHT GET THOSE BUILDINGS IF YOU
TRIED THAT.
.
REALLY I THINK WE SHOULD IN THIS
CASE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT.
FOLLOW.
.
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS ADMISSION
AND TRY TO DO ALL FOURTEEN SO I
WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT
THAT LIST. WHEN YOU COME BACK AT
MAY REVISE.
BECAUSE I'M WORRIED THAT THE
LONGER WE WAIT THE MORE THESE
THINGS COST AND IF WE ONLY EVER
AND I THINK FIRE LIFE SAFETY ARE
IMPORTANT CRITERIA. BUT EVERY
YEAR THAT SEEMS TO BE THE
CRITERIA WHENEVER YOU GET
ANYTHING ELSE IN EVERY
GENERATION OF STUDENTS THAT
DOESN'T GET. TO TAKE ADVANTAGE.
OF WHAT WE GOTTA DO.
YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. COMMENT
I BELIEVE THESE BONDS ARE BEING
PAID BY THE GENERAL FUND.
NOT A PROP NINETY EIGHT FUNDS.
BUT THAT'S ANOTHER SORT GRASSO
THEN WHY WOULD WE WANT TO ISSUE
ANY DEAD AT ALL FUTURE FIVE IF
YOU BUILD IT THEY WILL COME. UP
WITH.
YOU KNOW THE GOVERNOR'S BEEN
PARSING THAT MONEY OUT SO.
CONSERVATIVELY SOLD.
DRIBBLING HERE FOR A REASON
RIGHT AND.
WE HAVE TO BROADEN WE HAVE TO
BROADEN.
THE SCOPE OF PROJECTS BECAUSE OR
ELSE WE'RE NEVER GOING TO GET.
TO THE OTHER PROJECTS OVER
SQUEEZING STUFF OUT OF THE
GENERAL FUND SO HOW.
YOU KNOW I AGAIN AS
I'VE I'VE BEEN HERE FOR THREE
YEARS BUT I'M STILL TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHY. THE GENERAL FUND
HAS TO PAY AN EDUCATION BOND.
CAPITAL BY NIGHT ARE I SILL
DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF FIGURED
OUT YOU CAN BUILD AS MUCH AS YOU
WANTED TO DO. NINETY EIGHT RAY
YOU WOULDN'T. DO ANY WE
DISCUSSING HOW TO REALLY DOLLARS
FOR AN ONLINE SCHOOL BEES NET
FOR FOR FOR FOR PRINCIPAL
PAYMENTS RIGHT.
AND I THINK I WOULD JUST THINK
I'M A VERY BIG PART OF WHAT ONE
IS IN TERMS OF THE GENERAL
OBLIGATION BOND NOT BEING USED
TO PROPAGATE THE REASON IS
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW STATUTORY.
THAT STATUTE SPECIFICALLY SAYS
THAT AREN'T TEACHER R.
CHARACTERS ARE CONTRIBUTIONS BY
THE STATE AND ARE ANY GENERAL
OBLIGATION BOND AT THE RISK IS
NOT ART CANNOT BE FUNDED TO
PROPAGATE. THE BEDS ALWAYS THEIR
CONVERSATION THAT COULD BE HAD
ABOUT HOW TO MAKE THOSE THOSE
CHANGES I THINK THAT THE OTHER.
SERVICE IT IS YOUR THING FOR US
IS THAT THE VOTERS DID APPROVE
THE BUT THE THE THE THE SPAWN SO
THE INTENT OF THE VOTERS IS THAT
THE STATE. FUND ADDITIONAL OUR
PROJECT AT SCHOOL THE COMMUTE
BECAUSE THIS WAS PROBABLY DUE IN
FRONT OF BOTH SO. WE DO THINK
THERE'S THIS LINE OF TRYING TO
MAKE SURE THAT YOUR ARM BEING
FISCALLY PRUDENT AND LOOKING AT
WHAT YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION IS
BUT ALSO RECOGNIZING THAT THE
INTENT OF THE VOTERS IS THAT. WE
FIND THESE ADDITIONAL PROJECTS.
AND I SHOULD PROBABLY PUSH BACK
VERY GENTLY ON THAT ON THE IDEA
THAT PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT IS
THAT KIND OF AN UNLIMITED POT OF
MONEY THAT WE'VE HAD HEALTHY
YEARS BUT WE'VE ALSO HAD A. VERY
UNHEALTHY YEARS FOR THEIR SYSTEM
AND THERE'S KIND OF A LOT OF
DEMANDS WITHIN ESPECIALLY. WHAT
THE LEGISLATURE SET OUT AS THE
COMMUNITY CULTURE AND SO I THINK?
WE WOULD NEED TO BE CAREFUL
ABOUT ABOUT WHAT KINDS OF
OBLIGATIONS WERE PUTTING WITHIN
THAT POT. YEAH AND I GET TO DEAL
WITH THE GENERAL FUND.
AND I'M SEEING THINGS GETTING
SQUEEZED OUT SAUDI. IN I'M
WATCHIN A DIFFERENT ROUTE.
PENSION COSTS AND PROVIDE
RETIREE MEDICAL I DON'T KNOW
ASTOR BOSS IF HE KNEW THE AMOUNT.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THE HECK I WAS
TRYING TO GET THAT QUICKLY WE
WILL FOLLOW UP WITH THE AMOUNT.
THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT SO FROM FROM MY
PERSPECTIVE LET'S TRY TO DO MORE.
AND THE.
WE'LL GO ON TO THE NEXT PANEL
.
ALRIGHT WE HAVE. A SHOW WITH US.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
MASHONALAND WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET. PROPOSES
A TOTAL OF TWO HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE POINT TWO MILLION
DOLLARS PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GENERAL FUND. AND SETTLE UP FOR
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONAL QUIT MEANT FOR THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. CONSISTENT
WITH PRIOR YEARS IN ADDITION TO
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE COLLEGES
COULD ALSO USE FUNDS FOR.
HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCE ABATEMENT
ARCHITECTURAL BARRIER REMOVAL
PROJECTS WATER CAN SPONSOR
VISION PROJECTS AND LIBRARY
MATERIALS.
THANK YOU AND I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS CHRISTMAS WHENEVER THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE.
BUT I THINK THE WE THINK THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL IS
REASONABLE ON JUST A FEW CONTEXT
POINTS. YOU KNOW IS YOUR GENDER
NOTES AN ADDITIONAL.
TOWARD TRADITIONAL CAPITAL
NEEDS WE ESTIMATE MORE THAN ONE
BILLION AND FACILITIES
MAINTENANCE NEEDS OVER THE NEXT
FIVE YEARS.
YOU KNOW YOU'VE COVERED TOO THAT
IN ADDITION TO CATEGORICAL FUNDS
DISTRICTS FUND MAINTENANCE FROM
THEIR GENERAL PURPOSE RESOURCES
LOCAL BOND FUNDS AND OTHER
SOURCES. AND YOU KNOW THIS HIS
CATEGORICAL FUNDING AND
MAINTENANCE FUNDING IN GENERAL.
HAS BEEN OFF AND ON SO. YOU
KNOW I THINK NEXT WEEK WE'LL
TALK WITH YOU ABOUT THE FUNDING
FORMULA HAS WE THINK ABOUT THOSE
AND RELATED ISSUES WE THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO ADDRESS. THE KINDS
OF INCENTIVES WERE CREATING
AROUND THESE BASIC COSTS OF
THOSE NEED TO BE PART OF THIS
CONVERSATION SO. HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS.
BETTER TO BROADWAY OVUM WE
RECOMMEND ADOPTING OF THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL HERE WE
THINK THOSE TWO THINGS ONE THAT
HELPS TO PAY DOWN THE EXISTING
BACK LONG BACKLOG OF PROJECTS.
AND IT ALSO HELPS BY IT BY BEING
ONE TIME FROM THE HELP TO
PROVIDE A CUSHION IN CASE WE
HAVE A DOWNTURN IN NEXT YEAR YOU
HAVE TO MAKE REDUCTIONS BY JUST.
REDUCING THE NOT FUNDING MAIN IF
MY FUTURE YOU AVOID HAVING TO
MAKE ONGOING REDUCTIONS. WE ALSO
THINK THAT TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE LEGISLATURE WANTS TO HAVE A
HIGHER SHARE OF POP NINETY
FUNDED WITH ONE TIME FUNDING. OR
TO EXTEND TO YOU REJECT OTHER
ONE TEMPLES IN THIS BUDGET FOR
EXAMPLE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
PROVIDE A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS ONE TIME FOR THE ONLINE
COLLEGE. THEN WE WOULD RECOMMEND
PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR
A FOR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
SO MANY QUESTIONS.
BUT YOU HAVE A SEPTIC AND RUN IT
JUST THERE FOR EXPERT TESTIMONY
THINGS COME UP.
YOUR AGENDA HAD A.
QUESTION ABOUT KIND OF HOW THE
CATEGORICAL FUNDING HAS BEEN
ALLOCATED OVER FIVE YEARS WE'VE
RECEIVED ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED
EIGHTY MILLION MOST OF IT HAS
BEEN AN INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT
AND MAINTENANCE OF TWO HUNDRED
TWENTY MILLION AND. TWO HUNDRED
TWENTY ONE MILLION AND
INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPORT THREE
HUNDRED TWENTY THREE MILLION AND
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE.
ALL RIGHT I DON'T HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS SOME. NICE TO SEE
EVERYBODY ON THE SAME PAGE THIS
IS GOOD TOO GOOD TREND.
ALRIGHT WE'LL GO TO THE NEXT
PANEL.
THIS. TO THE RIGHT OF STRENGTH
.
GOOD AFTERNOON AT JACK'S ALTMAN
FINANCE.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET INCLUDES
TEN MILLION GENERAL FUN I'M
GOING TO CREATE THE CALIFORNIA
EDUCATION LEARNING LAB.
INITIATIVE FOCUSED ON
INTEGRATING LEARNING SCIENCE
INTO INSTRUCTION IMPROVING THE
QUALITY OF ONLINE HIGHER
EDUCATION AT PUBLIC COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES. LEARNING SCIENCES
AND INTERDISCIPLINARY FIELD THAT
SEEKS TO FURTHER OUR
UNDERSTANDING OF HOW PEOPLE
LEARN THE PROCESSES OF LEARNING
AND HOW LEARNING CAN BE
SUPPORTED OR ENHANCED BY
TECHNOLOGIES. INSTRUCTIONAL
PRACTICES DESIGN AND LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS IN DIFFERENT
CONTEXTS. A PRIMARY GOA OF THE
PROPOSED INITIATIVE IS TO
CUSTOMIZE LEARNING AND INCREASE
CHANCES FOR PERSISTENCE AND
LOWER DIVISION STEM COURSES.
THROUGH THE USE OF LEARNING
SCIENCE. LOWER DIVISION IS OFTEN
WERE STUDENTS WHO HAVE EXPRESSED
INTEREST IN STEM MAY DROP AFTER
THAT DROP OUT AFTER ONE OR TWO
COURSES. MAKING A DEAL IDEAL
TIME TO INTERVENE TO IMPROVE
OUTCOMES.
THE FOCUS OF THIS INITIATIVE WE
DEVELOP OR REDESIGN ONLINE AND
HYBRID COURSES TO SPECIFICALLY
INTEGRATE ADAPTIVE LEARNING
TECHNOLOGIES AND THE PRINCIPLES
OF LEARNING SCIENCE INTO THE
CURRICULUM. THIS DIFFERS FROM
THE EXISTING PROGRAMS EACH
SEGMENT DETAILED IN YOUR AGENDA.
THOSE PROGRAMS SUPPORT THE
DEVELOPMENT OF COURSES WHILE THE
LAB WILL RESEARCH HOW STUDENTS
LEARN OPTIMIZED AND. LEARN TO
OPTIMIZE ONLINE AND HYBRID
COURSES.
THE ADMINISTRATION BELIEVES THAT
LITTLE ATTENTION HAS BEEN PAID
TO THE SCIENCE OF LEARNING HOW
TO IMPROVE THE DELIVERY OF STEM
EDUCATION.
ONLINE EDUCATION PRESENTS AND AGREED
CAME IN STEM FIELDS ACROSS THE
COUNTRY INCLUDING IN CALIFORNIA.
ACCORDING TO STATE FOR THE ACT
AFRICAN AMERICAN LATINO STUDENTS
MEET COLLEGE READINESS AND STEM
BENCHMARKS AT HALF THE RATE OF
THEIR WHITE NATION PEERS.
THESE DISPARITIES ARE NOT CLOSE
AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL AFTER
AMERICAN LATINO STUDENTS EARN
SIGNIFICANTLY FEWER STEM DEGREES
THAN THEIR WHITE NATION
COUNTERPARTS OF BOTH UC AND CSU.
FOR EXAMPLE LATINO STUDENTS AT
CSU MAKE UP FORTY PERCENT OF ALL
STUDENTS.
BUT ONLY TWENTY SIX PERCENT OF
STUDENTS AWARDED AN ENGINEERING
DEGREE. SIMILARLY AT THE UC
AFTER AMERICAN STUDENTS ARE IN
PHYSICAL SCIENCES AND
ENGINEERING DEGREES AT HALF THE
RATE OF THEIR SYSTEM WIDE
POPULATION.
BY EXPANDING OUR UNDERSTANDING.
OF HOW PEOPLE LEARN AND
LEVERAGING ADVANCES IN
TECHNOLOGY THE STAKE IN INCREASE
LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT AMONG
THESE GROUPS.
THESE TECHNOLOGIES INCLUDE THE
DOCTOR BLURRING SOFTWARE THAT
DYNAMICALLY RESPOND TO STUDENTS
WHEN THEY STRUGGLE WITH THE
CONCEPT AND PROVIDES INSTRUCTORS
WITH DATA ON WHERE STUDENTS NEED
ADDITIONAL HELP. BUILDING
LEARNING SYSTEMS THAT PROVIDE
CONTINUOUS FEEDBACK AND
ASSESSMENT CAN ACCELERATE
STUDENT LEARNING. ANOTHER GOAL
THE LABS TO FOSTER COLLABORATION
AMONG INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER
EDUCATION. DEMAND FOR ONLINE
COURSES HAS BEEN INCREASING IN
EVERY SEGMENT. AND TWENTY
FIFTEEN SIXTEEN THE CSU PROVIDED
ONLINE INSTRUCTION TO A
POPULATION EQUAL TO FIVE POINT
FIVE PERCENT. OF ALL FULL TIME
EQUIVALENT STUDENTS. IF ALL
TWENTY SIXTEEN MORE THAN FIFTEEN
THOUSAND STUDENTS ENROLLED IN
ALL MY COURSES AT THE UC. AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES THE SHARE OF
ONLINE INSTRUCTION HAS NEARLY
TRIPLED IN THE LAST TEN YEARS
ROUGHLY THIRTEEN PERCENT.
AND ALTHOUGH.
EACH OF THESE INSTITUTIONS HAS
ITS OWN AD ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE COLLABORATION BETWEEN
THESE SEGMENTS IS LIMITED AT
BEST AND THERE'S NOT A FOCUS ON
THE EMERGING OPPORTUNITIES.
LEARNING SCIENCE REPRESENTS.
TO ACHIEVE GREAT TO ACHIEVE
GREATER COLLABORATION. CONSORTIA
SEEKING GRANTS MUST CONSIST OF
AT LEAST TWO INSTITUTIONS FROM
DIFFERENT SEGMENTS.
BASED ON CONVERSATIONS WITH
FACULTY WE ANTICIPATE THE LAB
WOULD FUND FOR SIX OR SEVEN
PROJECTS HERE AROUND ONE POINT
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS EACH WITH
EACH PROJECT CONDUCTING ITS
WORKING FOR THREE YEARS. THE
OFFICE OF PLANNING AND RESEARCH
WOULD CONSULT EXPERTS IN
LEARNING SENTENCED THEM TO
IDENTIFY QUALITY QUALIFIED
INDIVIDUALS TO SERVE ON
SELECTION COMMITTEE.
THE MATRIX BY WHICH THESE
PROJECTS WILL BE EVALUATED WILL
BE DEVELOPED TO THE REQUEST FOR
PROPOSAL PROCESS BUT COULD
POTENTIALLY INCLUDE. REDUCTIONS
IN FAILURE RATES IMPROVEMENTS IN
GREAT PERFORMANCE AND
PERSISTENCE IN GRADUATION
CREATURES CREASES IN A MAJOR.
AFTER THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF
THE INITIATIVE THE SCOPE OF THE
INITIATIVE WOULD EXPAND. AS
PROGRESS IS MADE IN STEM
DISCIPLINES ADDITIONAL
DISCIPLINE THE MAJORS MAY BE
ADDED DEPENDING ON FEEDBACK IN
DEVELOPMENT FROM THE FIELD. THE
LEVEL ALSO CURATE A LIBRARY OF
OPEN EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES THAT
COULD E USED BY OTHERS WORKING
TO YOU TO DEVELOP ONLINE AND
HYBRID COURSES. LOOKING FOR TWO
OF THE ONGOING CONVERSATION ON
THIS LAB I THINK YOU.
ALAN CALF NOW A MINING OPR.
I'M JUST HERE TO SUPPORT THE.
PROPOSAL.
BOSTON HOUSING WITH THE ANALYSTS
OFFICE. THE GOVERNOR STATED GOAL
FOR CREATING THESE THESE ON
THESE ONLINE LEARNING LABS IS TO
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS.
FROM HISTORICALLY
UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS THAT
EARNED SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY
ENGINEERING OR MATH STEM DEGREES.
AT THE THREE PUBLIC HIGHER ED
SEGMENTS AND WE WE THINK THAT'S
A REALLY IMPORTANT GOAL AND AS
YOU HEARD FROM MISTER IS WALLED.
RESEARCH CONFIRMS THAT STUDENTS
FROM HISTORICALLY UNDER
REPRESENTED GROUPS HAVE LOWER
STANDING ROOM AND PERSISTENCE
AND COMPLETION RATES COMPARED
WITH OTHERS STUDENTS FROM OTHER
GROUPS.
THAT SAID WE HAVE SEVERAL
CONCERNS WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL.
FIRST RESEARCH IDENTIFIES A
NUMBER OF REASONS WHY STUDENTS
FROM UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS
TEND TO HAVE LOWER. THAN WORSE
DAMN RELATED OUTCOMES. THESE
INCLUDE.
STUDENTS FROM THESE GROUPS.
DISPROPORTIONATELY GOING TO K.
TWELVE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE LESS
QUALIFIED TEACHERS OR LESS
ACCESS TO ADVANCED STEM CLASSES
WHILE IN HIGH SCHOOL. OTHER
REASONS ARE LACK OF EXPOSURE TO
ROLE MODELS AND MENTORS WITH A
STEM BACKGROUND OTHER
DIFFERENCES OR REASONS
UNDERLYING REASONS INCLUDE
PARENTAL EXPECTATIONS. STEM
DEGREES OFTENTIMES HAVE MORE
UNITS. REQUIREMENT REQUIRED TO
GET THE DEGREE WHICH CAN MAKE IT
DIFFICULT FOR LOW INCOME
STUDENTS TO COMPLETE A PROGRAM
SO THERE ARE A LOT OF REASONS.
RESEARCH SHOWS WHY YOU HAVE
DISPARITIES IN STEM OUTCOMES.
AND. SO BASED ON THOSE
UNDERLYING CAUSES IT'S IT'S
UNCLEAR THAN TO US HOW THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED SOLUTION
WHICH IS AN ONLINE HYBRID COURSE.
PROGRAM THAT USES LEARNING
SCIENCE WILL ADDRESS THOSE
DISPARITIES IN A MEANINGFUL WAY.
SECOND AS THE GENDER NOTES
DESPITE THE GROWTH OF ONLINE.
EDUCATION IN THE THREE SEGMENTS
OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS THE
VAST MAJORITY OF STUDENTS
CONTINUE TO TAKE THEIR COURSES
IN A FACE TO FACE ENVIRONMENT
MISTERS WALLED MENTIONED THAT.
ABOUT THIRTEEN PERCENT OF
INSTRUCTION. AT THE COMMITTEE
COLLEGES IS DONE ONLINE OR
HYBRID THAT MEANS EIGHTY SEVEN
PERCENT IS IS STILL DONE IN A
FACE TO FACE ENVIRONMENT AND YOU
HAVE EVEN HIGHER PERCENTAGES. OF
STUDENTS JUST IN FACE TO FACE
INSTRUCTION AT UC AND CSU.
SO GIVEN THAT IT'S UNCLEAR HOW
CREATING ONLINE HYBRID COURSES.
IS GOING TO REALLY ADDRESS THE
PROBLEM IN A IN A WIDESPREAD AND
HAVE WIDESPREAD IMPACT.
AN IMPROVEMENT.
THIRD AS THE GENDER NOTES ON
PAGES THIRTY FIVE AND THIRTY SIX
THE STATE ALREADY FUNDS ONLINE
INITIATIVES AT ALL THREE
SEGMENTS AND YOU YOU HEARD ABOUT
AND ASKED ABOUT THE ONLINE.
INITIATIVE AT THE COMMUNICABLE
LEDGES EARLIER IN THIS HEARING.
THESE INITIATIVES THAT THE STATE
HAS BEEN FINDING FOR YEARS NOW
FOCUS ON.
CREATING. AND BETTER TEACHING OF
ONLINE COURSES.
PARTICULARLY IN LOWER DIVISION.
LOWER DIVISION SUBJECT AREAS.
AND.
SO. GIVEN THAT IT'S UNCLEAR WHY
THE STATE NEEDS ANOTHER.
ONLINE INITIATIVE
TO. ADDRESS ISSUES OF OF LOWER
DIVISION ONLINE COURSES TEACHING
AND LEARNING.
A FOURTH OF THE PROPOSAL.
.
REALLY JUST LACKS JUSTIFICATION
FOR THE AMOUNT THAT'S PROPOSED
YOU WHY TEN MILLION WE JUST
HEARD ABOUT SIX TO SEVEN GRANTS
WHY SIX TO SEVEN GRANTS WHY DOES
THE GOVERNOR THINK THAT THAT.
WITH AN APPROPRIATE NUMBER AND
HOW HOW WOULD THAT.
AMOUNT IN THOSE NUMBER OF GRANTS
TO FILL THE THE FRUIT PRIDE A
PROJECT IN PROGRAM OBJECTIVES.
SO FOR ALL THOSE REASONS WE
RECOMMEND THE LEGISLATURE REJECT
THE PROPOSAL. INSTEAD THE
LEGISLATURE MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THESE UNDERLYING CAUSES
TAKING A LOOK AT WHY ARE YOU
HAVE WHITEY OF STEM DISPARITIES
AT U. C. CSU AND COMMUNITY
COLLEGES TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE ON
UNDERLYING. CAUSES AND LOOK TO
SEE TO WHAT EXTENT ARE THE
PROBLEM SEGMENT SPECIFIC TO WHAT
EXTENT ARE THEY INTERSECT MENTAL
TO WHAT EXTENT DO THEY INVOLVE
THE K. TWELVE SYSTEM. AND THEN
BASED ON.
BETTER UNDERSTANDING THE ROOT
CAUSES. DESIGN A SOLUTION OR SET
OF SOLUTIONS THAT ARE TAILORED
TO THOSE PROBLEMS.
YOU HAVE A QUESTION.
I THINK WE OUGHT TO PUT THAT MR
STEEN HOUSE IN ON EVERY PANEL
THIS IS JUST GREAT. THINGS FOR
YOUR.
THANKS FOR THE.
IS THAT THE THE THE DEBATE I I'M
JUST WONDERING.
.
WHETHER OR NOT THIS THIS LAB.
IS BEING LEAPFROGGED BY THE
ONLINE SCHOOL FOR.
THE COMMUNITY. OR IS THERE
SOMETHING DUPLICATIVE HERE ONE
OF MY MEDICINE.
I THINK A KEY DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
THAT PROPOSAL IN THIS PROPOSAL
IS THE FOCUS ON LEARNING SCIENCE.
SO WHILE THE ONLINE THREE
COLLEGES LOOKING TO EXPAND
ACCESS TO ONLINE EDUCATION THIS
INITIATIVE LOOKS TO IMPROVE THE
QUALITY OF THAT EDUCATION AND
USE NEW ANALYTICAL TOOLS. TO
ENGAGE IN THIS NEW FRONTIER OF
LEARNING SCIENCE THEY CAN
ESSENTIALLY ALLOW. INSTRUCTORS
TO KNOW EXACTLY WHERE STUDENTS
ARE STRUGGLING WITH COURSE
MATERIAL ALGORITHMS THAT RESPOND
DYNAMICALLY TO THE STUDENT'S
NEEDS AS THEY'RE WORKING THROUGH
PROBLEMS THAT STOOD FIVE I OFFER
ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE. SO RATHER
THAN THE CREATION OF COURSES AND
THE ACCESS TO THESE COURSES THIS
IS FOCUSED ON. THIS THIS
BLEEDING EDGE SORT OF FOCUS ON
HOW WE CAN MAXIMIZE AND OPTIMIZE
THE COURSES FOR STUDENTS.
OKAY.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MUCH.
YEAH I I WOULD I WOULD SAY THIS
I WOULD ECHO SOME OF THE THE
CONCERNS. THIS PROPOSAL IS.
NOT COOKED.
AND I WOULD SERIOUSLY I MEAN.
THERE'S NO EVALUATION METRICS
THERE'S NO.
.
PROPOSAL TO ACTUALLY DRESSED
COMPLETION RATE I MEAN THERE'S A
THERE'S A WHOLE BUNCH OF
PROBLEMS WITH THIS THIS WHOLE.
ONE SO I WOULD TELL YOU TO.
GO BACK IN.
PUT SOME MEAT ON THE BONE.
WHEN YOU COME BACK BECAUSE.
THIS WAS. NOT A LOT OF MONEY BUT
IT'S IT'S JUST. NOT FLESHED OUT.
SO THAT WOULD BE MY ADMONITION.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT.
ANYBODY ELSE NOT.
WE'RE GONNA GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
AND LINE UP.
I MADE A MISTAKE I GAVE HER TWO
MINUTES WHEN I SHOULDN'T HAVE.
SO LET'S SEE HOW MANY OF YOU IS
THAT EVERYBODY WHO'S OUT
EVERYBODY OUT THERE.
WE SEE HOW MANY OF OUR YOU ARE
THERE.
ALRIGHT I'M GONNA TRY THIS. TRY
TO DO A MINUTE AND A HALF.
NINETY SECONDS.
SHOULD BE PLENTY OF TIME IS THE
BLOODY IT TIME TO TELL ME YOU
LIKE OR HATE SOMETHING.
RIGHT.
LET ME START MY CLOCK HERE.
HOLD ON.
AND IF YOU WANT TO CUT TO THE
CHASE YOU CAN SAY I HATE OR I
LIKE. AND THAT ONLY TAKES TEN
SECONDS THERE'S MY CLOCK. ALL
RIGHT YOU'RE OUT. IT AFTERNOON
AS SENATORS LIZ THAT NEVER IT
WITH ME COLLEGE LEAGUE OF
CALIFORNIA I FIRST WANT TO START
AND THANK YOU FOR. THE ATTENTION
THAT YOU BROUGHT TO THE CAPITAL
OUTLAY PROJECTS WE WOULD
STRONGLY SUPPORT THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION AND THE
LEGISLATURE PUT FORWARD A PLAN
THAT INCLUDES FUNDING FOR ALL
FOURTEEN PROJECT AS PROPOSED BY
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS. WITH
REGARDS TO THE ONLINE COLLEGE
I'D BETWEEN COLLEGE REALLY
BELIEVES THAT IT IS AN IMPORTANT
TIME TO BE LOOKING AT. OUR
ONLINE ON PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENT THAT I ENSURES THAT
MORSE OTHER CALIFORNIANS HAVE.
ACCESS TO IN A PUBLIC ONLINE
OPTION ONE SOME OF THE THINGS
THAT WE'VE OUTLINED IN OUR
LETTER THAT YOU'VE RECEIVED ARE
SOME PRINCIPLES THAT WE WOULD
LIKE TO SEE IN THE DESIGN OF ANY
NEW. ONLINE INFRASTRUCTURE AND
THAT INCLUDES THAT INNOVATIONS
THAT COME OUT OF THE ONLINE
COLLEGE HE SHARED AND MADE
AVAILABLE TO ALL ONE HUNDRED AND
FOURTEEN COLLEGES SO THAT.
OTHERS CAN BE APPLIED TO DEGREES
AND CERTIFICATES.
THAT ARE PROVIDED LOCALLY.
AGAIN THANK YOU VERY TIME. ONE
MINUTE AND ONE SECOND. AWESOME.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR FRANK
MECCA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE
COUNTY WELFARE DIRECTORS
ASSOCIATION. OF FAMILIES ON THE
COW WORKS PROGRAM OFTEN USE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES I'M AN ONLINE.
ACCESS.
CAN BE A VIABLE CAN BE A VITAL
AND VIABLE UP SINCE IT COULD REALLY HELP.
WOW WENTY SEVEN SECONDS ON
PRESIDENT.
AND I SAID IT'D.
ERICA BEAM FACULTY IT'S A LOT OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGE I TEACH
ACCOUNTING. I'M I CAN SPEAK TO
MY NECK HAVE LIABILITY IT'S
ELEVEN POINT FIVE MILLION
DOLLARS FOR MY DISTRICT WERE
WORKING ON IT. I'M I TCT CLASSES
TO THIS POPULATION REGARDING
THIS ONLINE EDUCATION.
ON MY COLLEGE INITIATIVE THEY
DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO BE
ONLINE. THEY STRUGGLE. WITH THE
ADVERTISEMENT AND A LOT OF THOSE
PEOPLE THAT WERE HERE HAD TO
LEAVE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE TO
GO TO WORK I HEARD THEM AS THEY
WERE GETTING UP AND SAYING IT.
THOSE ARE MY STUDENTS THAT I SEE
EVERYDAY IN MY CLASSROOM. THEY
NEED THE SUPPORT THEY NEED THE
FACULTY THEY NEED THAT WARM
HANDS. ON AND THAT THIS ISN'T
NECESSARILY THE CORRECT SOLUTION
SO PLEASE ASK THAT YOU CONTINUE
TO ASK. TO ASK FOR THE CENTER
TWENTY MILLIONS GOING TO GO AND
HOW WE'RE GOING TO GET TO THE
SOLUTION THAT THEY ARE SELLING I
DON'T SEE IT. THANK YOU THANK
YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS RECEIVE
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS YOUR
SPEECH YOU ON THE PRECIOUS ITEM.
UP ON THE AUGMENTED FUNDING WE
WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THE
FUNDING BOTH THE ATTRACTIVE ONE
TIME PAYMENT. IT TAKES MORE THAN
A MINUTE HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHY
IT'S NECESSARY TO REIMBURSE THE
PROGRAMS BECAUSE OUR PROGRAM
SPONSORS ARE PARK EMPLOYERS NOT
US. OF AND THEN ON THE TRAILER
BILL PROPOSAL TO ALLOW FTP.
RATES I THINK WE ARE WORKING
WITH FINANCE ON THIS ISSUE BUT
WE'RE VERY CONCERNED. THAT RSI
INSTRUCTION IS A REIMBURSEMENT.
PROVIDED AFTER THE TRAINING IS
DELIVERED WITH A CLOCK OUR
ACCOUNTING TO MAKE SURE THAT
THESE APPRENTICES ARE GETTING
EXACTLY THE TRAINING THEY
REQUIRE. IF YOU DO CENSUS BASED
AVERAGES.
WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
DIMINISHING OF THE PROGRAM.
WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT
REPORTING IF YOU DO TAKE THIS
STEP. LANGUAGE APPEARS TO CARVE
THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS YOU
KNOW PLAY THEM ONLY TO OUR SITE
AND NOT THE F. T. P. S.. US
WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT ARE
APPLIED ACROSS THE BOARD TO YOU
CAN ASSESS WHETHER THIS WAS A
GOOD DECISION OR DOES OR BAD IF
YOU PROCEED. AND THEN FINALLY IF
YOU USE THE FTS RIGHT I HEARD
THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE SAY THAT
THAT. ALLOWS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
INSTRUCTORS TO TEACH BUT THEY
THINK THE PROGRAM SPONSORS WOULD
SAY THAT A LOT OF THEIR TEACHERS
INSTRUCTORS ARE. JOURNEY LEVEL
WORKERS ARE NOT COMMUNITY
COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR SO THAT WOULD.
I THINK IN SOME WAYS DRIVE A
WEDGE BETWEEN THE PROGRAMS IN
THE COLLEGES AND WE'RE TRYING TO
FIND A WAY TO WORK TOGETHER SO
THANKS FOR THE TIME. WHEN YOU
HAVE THAT ALL OF THE LETTER
RIGHT DECISION AND. YEAH SO
WE'LL MAKE SURE WE LOOK AT THAT
QUESTION THINKING ATUALLY AND
YOU DID IT UNDER A MINUTE AND
THIRTY SECONDS. YOUR PROBLEM.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
UNDER MORLOCK JEREMY SMITH YOU
HAVE HALF THE STATE BUILDING AND
CONSTRUCTION TRADES COUNCIL LIKE
TO ECHO THE PREVIOUS SPEAKER'S
COMMENTS REGARDING THE RSI. BACK
PHIL AND OF.
INCREASED AMOUNT OF MONEY MOVING
FORWARD IT'S VERY CRITICAL THAT
THESE PROGRAMS GET. PAID BACK
FOR HOURS THEY SPENT TRAINING
THEY DID YOU GET PAID FOR.
AND THEN AS THE ECONOMY
CONTINUES TO BOOM THERE'S MORE
PRESSURE TRAINING GOING ON SO
MOVING FORWARD INCREASING THAT
IS VERY IMPORTANT. AND THE ONLY
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE ISSUE.
SPECIFICALLY. IN REFERENCE TO
THE QUESTION LISTENING YOUR
ANALYSIS REGARDING THE UPSCALING
OF JURY PERSONS. THAT AS A
PATHWAY THAT CONCERNS US GREATLY.
THE BUILDING TRADES AT
COMMUNICATOR STRONG CONCERNS
ABOUT HOW THIS PROPOSALS WRITTEN.
AND WE HAVE HAD VERY GOOD
MEETINGS AT OUR OFFICE WITH
CHANDLER'S OFFICE AND LABOR
AGENCY. TO DISCUSS A NEW
DIRECTION AS TO HOW THIS ONLINE
COLLEGE PROPOSAL WILL INTERFACE
WITH OUR. PROGRAMS. PLEASE NOTE
THAT WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THIS
PROPOSALS WORKER IS WORKABLE FOR
US WE HAVE GREAT CONCERNS BUT AS
I SAID WE ARE IN TALKS WITH THE
GENDERS OFFICE AND THEY WRITE
AND SEE. DEFINE A BETTER
ALTERNATIVE INTERPRETATION OF OF
THE EFFORT AND TIME BOTH LABOR
AGENCY AND THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE HAVE GIVEN US. THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON REBECCA CURLY ON
BEHALF OF THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FACILITY COALITION HERE TO SPEAK
TO THE CAPITAL OUTLAY ITEM. WE
WOULD LIKE TO URGE YOU TO FUND
ALL FOURTEEN OF THE NEW PROJECTS
THAT WERE RECOMMENDED BY THE
BOARD OF GOERNORS. AND IN THE
BUDGET THIS YEAR WHEN VOTERS
APPROVED PROPOSITION FIFTY ONE
THE LANGUAGE THAT THEY APPROVED
SO THAT THE TWO BILLION DOLLARS
WOULD BE FOR CONSTRUCTION.
RENOVATION RECONSTRUCTION AND
EQUIPPING OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FACILITIES WHICH IS MUCH BROADER
THAN JUST HEALTH AND SAFETY
PROJECTS. OF COURSE THOSE ARE
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT UNDERFUNDED
FIRST AND RECEIVE THE TOP
PRIORITY IN THIS PROCESS.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE COST OF THE
DELAY FAR OUTWEIGH ANY BENEFITS
THAT YOU WOULD RECEIVE FIVE
FUNDING PROJECTS. A LONGER OVER
A LONGER AMOUNT OF TIME ON THE
CONSTRUCTION COSTS THAT WERE
MENTIONED TODAY AS WELL AS THE
INCREASING INTEREST RATES.
WILL ACTUALLY MAKE THE DEBT
SERVICE MORE EXPENSIVE THE
LONGER THE WAIT. ULTIMATELY THE
DELAY MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR
COLLEGES TO PLAN AND THEIR
PROGRAMS AND THE STUDENTS ARE
THE ONES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY
THAT LIFE THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
HARMONY SILVER WITH SCIENTIFIC
WERE A NETWORK OF SCHOOLS RE
ENGAGING OPPORTUNITY USE AND
WE'RE HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. ARE WE
BOTH PROVIDE BOTH A CLASSROOM
BASED AND AN ONLINE PATH FOR
STUDENTS WE SERVICE SIMILAR
POPULATION OF LOW INCOME
UNEMPLOYED OR UNDEREMPLOYED
LATINO AND AFRICAN AMERICAN
STUDENTS. WHO PROVIDE THE
COMPETENCY BASED PROGRAM TO MEET
STUDENTS WHERE HEY ARE AND
ALLOW SELF PACED LEARNING LIKE
THIS PROPOSAL DOES? OUR STUDENTS
BRING A HIGH LEVEL OF ONLINE
LITERACY WE BUILT ON. THE ONLINE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE WILL FIND A
READY MADE COHORT OF STUDENTS
LIKE OURS THAT ARE GONNA BE
ANXIOUS TO. USE THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO APPLY THERE ONLINE SKILLS TO
ACCESS POST SECONDARY COURSES
AND CREDENTIALS THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON CATHERINE AGREED
ON ON BEHALF OF FIRST BY THE
LATE IN SUPPORT OF THE ONLINE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE PROPOSAL. WE
BELIEVE THE PROPOSED ONLINE
COLLEGE OFFERS SCHEDULING
FLEXIBILITY AND AS AN ACCESSIBLE
LEARNING OPTION FOR THE CHILD
DEVELOPMENT WORK FORCE. IT COULD
PROVIDE UNLICENSED FAMILY
CHILDCARE PROVIDERS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE
ADDITIONAL TRAINING AND SKILLS
THAT THEY NEED. TO BECOME
LICENSED AT THAT SO THAT THEY
CAN ESTABLISH A LICENSED FAMILY
CHILD CARE HOME AND ACCESS WE
CHECKING IN THEIR PROFESSION. WE
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW THAT THIS IS
NOT A SILVER BULLET BY ANY MEANS
AND. MAY NOT WORK FOR ALL
CHILDCARE PROVIDERS BUT IT WILL
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURRENTLY
RUNNING CHILDCARE PROGRAMS OUT
OF THEIR HOUSES. AND WHERE
SUBSTITUTES ARE AN UNLIKELY
OPTION.
IN ADDITION A LARGE PROPORTION
OF THE EARLY CARE AND EDUCATION
WORKFORCE OR NOT ARE COMPOSED OF
INDIVIDUALS WHO DON'T HAVE A
MASTERY OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE.
THE ONLY COLLEGE WOULD ALLOW FOR
ECONOMIES OF SCALE IN OFFERING
TRAININGS FOR THESE PROVIDERS IN
THEIR PRIMARY LANGUAGE. WHICH
WOULD HELP BUILD A HUGE SHORTAGE
AND SUBSIDIZED CHILDCARE
PROVIDERS AS WELL AS FOR
BILINGUAL PROVIDERS ESPECIALLY
IN A STATE AS THEY RECEIVE
CALIFORNIA. YOUR.
ALONG THE.
THIRTEEN MAR COMING UP PRESIDENT
LOOKS REAL SKULLS FEDERATION
TEACHERS VICE PRESIDENT OF THE
SOUTH IS THE STATION HELPING ME
COLLEGES. AND ALSO CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS OF. YOU
KNOW IT TO ME IS VERY SIMPLE IF
I PROPOSE TO YOU THAT I COULD
ADDRESS THIS EVEN GAP FOR
AFRICAN AMERICAN AND LATINO
STUDENTS. BY PROVIDING AN ONLINE
COLLEGE THAT IS NONCREDIT
CLASSES AND NOT AND ALSO I'M.
NOT CREDIT AND OTHER CREDITED.
THAT YOU TO TELL ME THAT I'M
PRETTY CRAZY. IS NO DIFFERENT
FOR THIS. THIS TARGETED
POPULATIONS DISTILLED PARKING
ABOUT LATINO MANY OF THEM OLDER
STUDENTS AS WELL WORKERS. OKAY
THEY. THINK THAT YOU CAN ADDRESS
THEIR ISSUE BY PROVIDING ONE AND
NARROW TEACHING MODALITY. FOR A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY MILLION
DOLLARS IS COMPLETELY INADEQUATE
TO ADDRESS THAT SPECIFIC ISSUE.
THESE STUDENTS ARE VERY DIVERSE
THEY'RE VERY DIFFERENT NEEDS
THEY HAVE VERY DIFFERENT
LEARNING STYLES THAT THEY ARE
VERY DIFFERENT FROM.
THE READINESS AND CAPABILITIES
SO WHAT YOU NEED TO HAVE IS A
VERY COMPREHENSIVE FIFTY DID
PLAN. TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE SO
THE QUESTION I HAVE IS WHY ARE
WE HAVING ALL OF THESE MEETINGS.
TO IMPLEMENT THIS ONLINE COLLEGE.
INSTEAD WHY ARE WE HAVING THESE
THESE MEETINGS ADDRESS THE ISSUE
OF THESE SPECIFIC STUDENTS
BECAUSE IT'S NOT GONNA PARK JUST
AN ONLINE COLLEGE TO ADDRESS
THEIR NEEDS.
THAT'S WHY ISSUES ARE WE TRULY
TRY TO DRESS.
THE NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS OF
THIS PART OF THE POPULATION ARE
WE JUST. USING THEM EXPLOITING
THEM AS AN EXCUSE TO HAVE AN
ONLINE COLLEGE THAT COULD
QUESTION THANK YOU OKAY.
GOOD AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS
GUSTAVO DATA AND I REPRESENT.
YOUNG INVINCIBLE SPAM THE
WESTERN REGIONAL DIRECTOR. YOUNG
INVINCIBLE AS WERE NATIONAL
RESEARCH POLICY AND ADVOCACY
ORGANIZATION WE BELIEVE THAT
THIS ONLINE COLLEGE WILL OFFER
BROADER ACCESS FOR WORKING
ADULTS. BETTER SEEKING POST
SECONDARY EDUCATION AND WE
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE ONLINE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AS A MEASURE.
TO HELP THESE WORKING OF ADULTS
OBTAIN THEIR EDUCATION AND
CAREER GOALS. SO THROUGH OUR
COMMUNITY ORGANIZING WORK WE
HAVE TALKED TO A LOT OF. WORKING
YOUNG ADULTS IN THAT BRACKET OF
TWENTY FIVE TO THIRTY FOUR. AND
WE TALK TO YOUNG ADULTS WHO WORK
IN RETAIL AND REALLY SEE NO
UPWARD MOBILITY IN THAT PATHWAY.
OUT WE TALKED WORKING ADULTS WHO
NEED THEIR CREDENTIAL TO BE
PROMOTED IN THEIR MEDICAL
BILLING. COMPANY WORKING ADULTS
WHO ARE CONSIDERING.
A FOR PROFIT COLLEGE THAT WILL
COST HIM TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
FOR AT A CREDENTIAL THAT THEY
COULD EARN AT A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE FOR. FOR A FRACTION OF
THE COST WE HAVE TALKED TO A LOT
OF OUR OUR BASE MEMBERS THERE'S
A LOT OF EXCITEMENT. ABOUT THIS
ONLINE COLLEGE THERE ARE SOME
CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN VOICED
AT AND TALKED ABOUT HERE TODAY
THAT WE ALSO WANT TO ADDRESS OR
BAR AT LEAST BRING TO THE
FOREFRONT. SUPPORT SERVICES IS
SOMETHING THAT HAS COME UP AS A
KEY CONCERN. AT MAKING SURE THAT
THERE'S SOME SORT OF HANDS ON
EXPERIENCE WORD INDUSTRY
REQUIRES IT. ONLINE READINESS
ASSESSMENTS OUT FOR FOR YOUNG
ADULTS TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUNG
ADULTS ARE.
THOSE WORKING ADULTS WOULD BE A
GOOD MATCH.
AND ALSO FOR RETURNING WORK
WORKING ADULTS ENSURING THAT
THERE IS SOME SORT OF.
ON BOARDING PROCESS AND
REFRESHER COURSES THANKS SO WE
CONTINUE TO BE OF SUPPORT THANK
YOU.
AND THANK YOU FOR FOR LETTING US
BE HERE.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS KHAN

COMMUNICATORS DISTRICT. I WOULD
LIKE TO FIRST AND FOREMOST ECHO
ONE HUNDRED PERCENT WHITE
SENATOR JACKS. ADDRESSED.
TO THIS PANEL.
I THINK IT IS ABSOLUTELY.
AND POINTS TO A TEE THE CONCERNS
THAT MOST FACULTY HAVE ABOUT
THIS ISSUE I ALSO THINK IT
BRINGS TO THE FOREFRONT THE FACT
THAT. OUR CURRENT CHANCELLOR IS
NOT. IN TOUCH WITH FACULTY IN
TERMS OF THE FACT THAT HE DOES
NOT ABIDE BY SEVENTEEN TWENTY
FIVE. AB SEVENTEEN TWENTY FIVE
WHICH IS THAT A POINT WHEN IT
COMES TO ACADEMIC AND
PROFESSIONAL MATTERS FACULTY ARE
AT THE TABLE WE ARE COLLABORATED
WITH OUR OPINION IS VALUED. AND
THAT HAS NOT BEEN CONSIDERED AS
IS CLEAR IN THIS PROPOSAL AND IS
CLEAR WITH A LOT OF THE.
CONCERNS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP AS
WELL AS MANY OF THE WONDERFUL
QUESTIONS THAT YOU GUYS ASKED SO.
I THINK THAT THAT ADDRESSES THE
BIGGEST ISSUE HERE IS THAT HE
HE'S TALKED ABOUT CONSULTING
WITH ALL THESE OTHER.
CONSTITUENCY GROUPS NONE OF
WHICH HAVE BEEN FACULTY. AND SO
I'M I'M GONNA LEAVE THAT
FIGHTING HAD A LONG MEETING
THANK YOU.

OF TOMORROW WE WANT TO THINK
ABOUT WHO ARE THE WORKING
LEARNERS OF TWENTY THIRTY AND
WHAT ARE THEIR GENES. I WE WORK

AT MY STUDENTS I THINK THAT THE
TARGETED POPULATION FOR THE
ONLINE COLLEGE BASICALLY HAS A
LOT OF THE A LOT OF THOSE ARE MY
STUDENTS. AT MY ARE THE STUDENT
SUCCESS AND ACCESS NOT PERSONAL
TO ME BECAUSE I'M FROM A WORKING
FAMILY.
AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT MY
STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS I THINK THE
CURRENT SYSTEM WITH THE WARM
HANDS WARM HANDS IT'S WHAT THEY
MEAN. I KNOW THAT. STUDIES IT
AFTER STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT
STUDENTS BECOME SUCCESSFUL
BECAUSE OF THEIR CONNECTIONS
WITH FACULTY. AND IF YOU LOOK AT
THE STATISTICS AMONG THEM
AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS ONLINE
ON GROUND UP UNDERGROUND CLASSES
ARE IN PRISON BECAUSE AS HAPPY
TWENTY PERCENT. MORE SUCCESS
RATE INSTEAD HE CLASSES. AND
THIRTEEN PERCENT MORE SUCCESS
RATE IN CREDIT CLASS THOUGH THE

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND SENATOR MORLOCK STEPHANIE
DOWN WITH THE FACULTY
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. YOU ALREADY
HEARD OUR WITNESS TESTIFY
AGAINST THE ONLINE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE I'M HERE TO ADDRESS
CAPITAL OUTLAY.
FAX SUPPORTS FUNDING THE
REMAINING PROJECTS IN THE BOARD
OF GOVERNORS REQUESTS. WE ALSO
SUPPORT FUNDING FOR DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE AND INSTRUCTIONAL
EQUIPMENT THANK YOU.
THANKS FOR STICKING IT OUT WITH
US TODAY MY NAME IS LEE
ADDRESSING EMAILING A PROGRAM
MANAGER FOR CALIFORNIA FORWARD
AND WHERE THE MANAGING PARTNER
OF THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMIC
SUMMIT. I'M WHAT WE'VE BEEN
DOING OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF
MONTHS AND CONTINUING THROUGH
THIS MONTH AND INTO MAY IS
ARRANGING I'M A SERIES CALLED
THE FUTURE OF WORK MEET AT. SO
THESE ARE I'M FIFTEEN MEETUPS
TOTAL I'M HELD IN REGIONS ACROSS
THE STATE WITH SOME OF OUR LOCAL
AND REGIONAL PARTNERS OF THE
SUMMIT.
IN THESE MEETUPS THERE HAVE BEEN.
QUITE A VARIETY OF STAKE
HOLDERS THAT WE'VE ENGAGED THOSE
STAKE HOLDERS COME FROM INDUSTRY
EMPLOYER PERSPECTIVE ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT EDUCATION. COMMUNITY
BASED ORGANIZATIONS ADULT ADD
AND COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONS TO
NAME A FEW. SOME OF THE FEEDBACK
THAT WE'VE GATHERED AND THESE
MEETUPS HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY
DIVERSE BUT ALSO IN SUPPORT OF
AN ONLINE COLLEGE.
DURING THESE CONVERSATIONS THE
FEEDBACK SEEMS TO GO DIRECTLY TO
HOW CAN WE DESIGN A COLLEGE THAT
REALLY NEEDS THIS TARGET
POPULATION WHERE THEY ARE. SO
HOW CAN WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT NOT
ALL OF OUR WORKING ADULTS CAN
ATTEND A BRICK AND MORTAR
COLLEGE TO GET THAT TRAINING AND
UPSCALING THAT THEY NEED BUT HOW
CAN WE BRING TRAINING AND
EDUCATION TO WHERE THEY ARE IN
THEIR LIVES.
AND THIS SPEAKS THROUGH TO ME I
HAVE A PERSONAL STORY THIS
SIMILAR TO CHANCELLOR OAKLEY'S
WHERE I ACTUALLY WAS ABLE TO
TRANSFER TO A STATE UNIVERSITY
BECAUSE OF ONLINE EDUCATION AND
MORE FLEXIBLE ONLINE EDUCATION
WOULD HAVE MADE THAT OPPORTUNITY
EVEN GREATER THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON JOHN WARNER
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF SEQUOIAS
ADULT EDUCATION CONSORTIUM I'M
ALSO THE.
THE CALIFORNIA COUNCIL OF ADULT
EDUCATOR CENTRAL SECTION
PRESIDENT AND THE ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS
REGIONAL LEVIN ADULTHOOD. SOME
GOT A LONG HISTORY OF EXPERIENCE
WITH THIS POPULATION THAT THE
ONLINE COLLEGE IS ADDRESSING AND
IF THE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS HUNDRED MILLION
ONE YEAR AND TWENTY ONGOING. ARE
GONNA GO TO EIGHTY BG TO SUPPORT
ADULT ADD.
I THINK IT'S A GOOD SUPPORT AND
THE COMMUNITY ONLINE COLLEGE
WE'VE GOT AN EXPERIENCE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY OF SUCCESS. WITH
THESE TYPES OF PROGRAMS AND
ONLINE CURRICULUM AND A HIGH
SCHOOL DIPLOMA PROGRAM AND OUR
DOLL BASIC EDUCATION PROGRAMS.
ARE MARGINALIZED STUDENT
POPULATIONS THAT WE'RE WORRIED
ABOUT HAVE DONE VERY WELL.
AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS
TO GIVE IT SOME CONSIDERATION.
IF IT GOES FORWARD I HIGHLY
RECOMMEND THAT IT DOES LEVERAGE
EXISTING STRUCTURES LIKE A WE I
AM WHAT WHAT WE'VE INVESTED IN
ADULT BASIC AD ORG ARE THE ABG.
DOLLARS.
WITH THAT SAID A WISE MAN TOLD
ME THAT THINGS THAT COME INTO
THIS RUMOR ARE OFTEN DECIDED
BEFORE THEY EVEN GET HERE.
AND THAT MAY BE TRUE WITH THE
ONLINE COLLEGE TOO I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT I DO KNOW IS THIS?
HENRY FORD SAID SOME YEARS AGO.
IF I ASKED THEM WHAT THEY WANTED
THEY WOULD HAVE TOLD ME A FASTER
HORSE.
SO YOU SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
AS WE MOVE FORWARD INTO TWENTY
THIRTY THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MEMBERS SYLVIA'S
ALICIA ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA FACULTY ASSOCIATION A
CURRENTLY WE ARE OPPOSED TO THE
GOVERNOR'S ONLINE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE PROPOSAL. A HOWEVER WE
WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR THAT WE
ARE NOT OPPOSED TO ONLINE
EDUCATION IN FACT OUR CURRENT
PRESIDENT JENNIFER EGAN.
HAS TAUGHT SUCH COURSE AT THAT
WE HAVE MANY MEMBERS THAT ARE
TEACHING THESE COURSES NOW
HOWEVER CFA DOES BELIEVE THAT
ANY PROPOSAL THAT MOVES FORWARD
MUST FOLLOW AT LEAST FOUR
PRINCIPLES. ONE USE EXISTING
ADMINISTRATIVE STRUCTURES DO NOT
CREATE A NEW COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT. NUMBER TWO SHOULD NOT
DUPLICATE EXISTING PROGRAMS OR
CLASSES NUMBER THREE AS THEY
SHOULD NOT CONTRACT OUT ANY WORK
INCLUDING CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
COURSE DESIGNED FOR IT SUPPORT.
AND FOR THE PRO PROPOSAL SHOULD
INCLUDE UNION EMPLOYEES PROTECT
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AND THE
RIGHTS OF THOSE FOLKS WHO WORK
IN THESE PROGRAMS.
I WE BELIEVE WE MUST PROTECT OUR
STUDENTS FROM FROM EXPLOITATION
BY ONLINE FOR PROFIT COLLEGES.
BUT WE MUST ALSO NOT ALLOW OUR
PUBLIC SYSTEM TO BECOME MORE
LIKE THEM OFFERING LOW QUALITY
CLASSES IN CONTRACTING WORK IN
AN EFFORT TO CUT COSTS.
I'M PUSHING ONLINE EDUCATION TO
LOWER INCOME FIRST GENERATION
STUDENTS IN UNDER REPRESENTED
GROUPS THAT GENERALLY NEED
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES AND SUPPORT.
FOR US THIS BECOMES A BIG
QUESTION ABOUT RACIAL AND SOCIAL
JUSTICE.
OF FURTHER MORE WE BELIEVE THAT
THE PROPOSED FUNDING WOULD BE
BETTER SPENT SPORTING CURRENT
ONLINE EDUCATION OFFERINGS IN
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SYSTEM. AND LASTLY CFA BELIEVE
THAT A BETTER APPROACH WOULD BE
TO PROVIDE FULL FUNDING FOR ALL
OF THE HIGHER ED SEGMENTS TO
ENSURE EVERY QUALIFIED STUDENT
HAS A SEAT AND IS NOT TURNED
AWAY DUE TO A LACK OF FUNDING
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
GOOD AFTERNOON JENNIFER BAKER
WITH THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION I'D LIKE TO REALLY.
FOCUS MY COMMENTS ON POLICE
STRUCTURES I DO BELIEVE BASED ON
THE COMMENTS THAT YOU HAVE HAVE
ALL BROUGHT UP PREVIOUSLY AS
WELL AS YET ACCIDENT EXCELLENT
ANALYSIS IT WAS DONE BY STAFF.
ON THAT YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO
EXPLORE ALL OF THESE.
ISSUES IN A COMPLEX WAY WE DO
APPRECIATE THAT. WE DO BELIEVE
THAT THERE ARE CONSTRUCTIVE
CONVERSATIONS TAKING PLACE WE
ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE IN THE GOAL
THAT THE GOVERNOR IS TRYING TO
ACHIEVE WHICHIS TRYING TO REACH
A POPULATION OF STUDENTS THAT IS
NOT BEING SERVED. WE WANT TO BE
PART OF THAT SOLUTION BUT WE DO
NOT BELIEVE.
THAT THAT SYSTEM THAT'S BEING
PROPOSED TO UTILIZE THAT IS A
STRUCTURE THAT WILL WORK WOULD
PROP NINETY EIGHT. IF THERE IS A
WAY TO UTILIZE THAT IN A WAY
THAT COULD WORK THAT WOULD NOT
BE.
ISN'T THAT WOULD ONLY GO
THROUGH THE EXISTING COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE
WOULD BELIEVE WOULD WORK. WE
ALSO BELIEVE IN COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AND WE APPRECIATE THE
COMMENTS BY DEPARTMENT OF STATE
OF FINANCES WELL IS THAT
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE THAT THEIR
INTENT IS TO ADDRESS THOSE
CONCERNS. I WE DO BELIEVE.
IN COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AND DO
NOT BELIEVE THAT WE CAN IN NINE
ANYWAY I WOULD HELP THE STUDENTS
A WE DO BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE A
LOT OF WAYS TO ADDRESS THESE
CONCERNS AND ARE GOING TO TAKE A
LOOK AT THE NEW LANGUAGE THAT'S
GOING TO BE PROPOSED AND HOPE.
WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO FIND A
SOLUTION TO MOVE FORWARD UP BUT
WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT BY
DISMANTLING THE CURRENT
STRUCTURES AND SYSTEMS THAT WORK.
MIGHT BE THE BEST MOST WAY TO
MOVE FORWARD SO WE'D LIKE TO
LOOK AT HOW WE CAN SERVE THE
STUDENTS IN A WAY THAT'S VERY
CONSTRUCTIVE FOR MOVING FORWARD.
THANK YOU.
OKAY SEEING NO MORE PUBLIC
COMMENT THANK YOU FOR THIS
ROBUST DISCUSSION.
AND WE'LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK.
WE CAN
