IS ALSO IMPORTANT IN STUDENT
LEARNING.
SO AS A TEACHER. FOR THIRTY FOUR
YEARS [inaudible]
RIVERSIDE UNIFIED.
AN AN ETHNIC STUDIES TEACHER IN
THE CHICANO STUDIES TEACHER.
I SAW THE POWER.
OF CURRICULUM.
WHEN STUDENTS SEE THEMSELVES
RIFAT REFLECTED IN THAT
CURRICULUM?
IF THEY SEE.
THEMSELVES IN EDUCATION.
AND SEE THE HISTORY.
AND THE CULTURE WHERE THEY COME
FROM.
TAUGHT [inaudible]
AND VALUED.
BY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS THEY
PROSPER [inaudible]
THEY BLOSSOM.
IN THAT EDUCATION BECOMES
EMPOWERING.
AND THEY BECOME.
SOMEWHAT MASTERS OF THEIR OWN
DESTINY AND WE HAVE SEEN THE
TESTIMONY.
HERE.
IN THE CAPITAL IN DIFFERENT
COMMITTEES FROM STUDENTS WHO
JUST DONE JUST THAT.
STUDENTS WHO WENT ON TO GET
DEGREES THEN AT THINK STUDIES.
BECAUSE ETHNIC STUDIES HAS BEEN

TAUGHT POLY HIGH SCHOOL.
DICK UP A US HISTORY BOOK.

SAY.
THAT SAYS OUR CHAVEZ AND MARTIN
LUTHER KING.
AS IMPORTANT AS THEY ARE IN OUR
NATION'S HISTORY.
IS NOT THE EXTENT.
OF AFRICAN AMERICAN.
OR CHICANO HISTORY.
OR THAT IF WE LOOK ONLY AT ELLIS
ISLAND.
WHEN WE LOOK AT IMMIGRATION? TO
THE EXCLUSION [inaudible]
ANGEL ISLAND.
WE'RE NOT TEACHING THE STUDENTS
THE HISTORY OF THIS NATION.
OR IF WE DO NOT TEACH.
ABOUT WHAT THE GOVERNOR.
OF OUR STATE A CALIFORNIA.
LAST WEEK SAID WAS THE GENOCIDE.
THE NATIVE AMERICANS IN
CALIFORNIA HISTORY WE ARE NOT
TEACHING THE FULL HISTORY.
OF THE STATE OR THIS NATION.

DISTRICT -- I'M ALSO EDUCATED
WITH POLITICS STUDIES TO HELP
EMPOWER STUDENTS ESPECIALLY
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS WHO OFTEN
DON'T SEE THEMSELVES.
IN THE CURRICULUM -- SOMETIMES
FEEL DISEMPOWERED THINK THAT
THEY'RE NOT GOOD ENOUGH TO BE
ABLE TO GO TO CLLEGE I THINK
THAT THEY'RE NOT -- ABLE TO
ACCESS HIGHER EDUCATION AND I'VE
SEEN HOW TELLING THEIR STORIES
I'M MAKING PART OF THE
CURRICULUM CHANGES THE FRAME OF
REFERENCE.
BUT THIS IS NOT MY PERSONAL
EXPERIENCES ALSO ACT ACTUALLY
ACADEMIC STUDIES THE TWO
THOUSAND TEN THIRTY BY THE NEA
COMPILED.
THE EIGHTEEN DIFFERENT STUDIES
FROM ACROSS THE NATION.
EVERY SINGLE STUDY SHOWED BOTH
AS SOCIAL AND ACADEMIC BENEFITS
FOR ETHNIC STUDIES -- A STUDY
DONE BY STANFORD.
OF THE SAN FRANCISCO UNIFIED
ETHICS THESE PROGRAMS SHOWED
THAT STUDENTS WHO TOOK ETHNIC
STUDIES INCREASED YOUR
ATTENDANCE RATES BY 20%.
GPA BY ONE POINT FOUR PERCENTAGE
POINTS AND TWENTY THREE
ADDITIONAL CREDITS.
IT IS AMAZING THE POWER OF
ETHNIC STUDIES DONE THAT COULD
CAN AND AND AND DOES.

ALL RIGHT SEE NINE WILL CLOSE
THAT PART OF OUR PROCEDURE AND
WILL.
OPEN IT UP FOR QUESTIONS AND
COMMENTS FROM COLLEAGUES HERE ON
THE PANEL [inaudible]
SENATOR PAT.
THANK YOU -- THIS IS A SUMMER
MEDINA AND FIRST OF ALL -- I
WANT.
THANK YOU FOR THE YOUR TESTIMONY
AND THAT OF YOUR WITNESSES AND
CERTAINLY.
AT I DON'T THINK ANYONE WELL
IT'S THIS WAY.
CERTAINLY NOT QUESTIONING THE
VALUE AND IMPORTANCE OF ETHNIC
STUDIES -- I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING -- AND I KNOW THAT --
THE I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IS
THAT.
MY MIND IS.
WHY ARE WE PURSUING THIS ROUTE --
THROUGH THE LEGISLATURE --
CURRICULA IS -- THROUGH THE
CALIFORNIA FIVE EDUCATION IN
FACT THIS COMMITTEE IS ADOPTED
RULES TO SAY THAT.
BECAUSE WE'VE HAD NUMEROUS BILLS
WERE PEOPLE WANT TO PUT THINGS
IN CURRICULA AND SAID THAT WELL.
WE HAVE A BODY WITHIN THE
DEPARTMENT YOU CATION -- THAT.
DECIDES THESE THINGS THAT -- WE
SHOULD SHOULDN'T BE TRYING TO
LEGISLATE CURRICULA -- AND YOU
KNOW FOR A AND AND IN FACT THIS
BODY DECIDED BECAUSE IT'S A
PEOPLE.
UP AT VARIOUS BILLS FOR VARIOUS
ITEMS -- OF OF IMPORTANCE -- AND
SO FORTH THAT -- YOU KNOW WHAT
WE SHOULD BE WE KNOW THAT WE
SHOULD LIVE BASICALLY WE CAN
MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ARE WE
SUGGEST THINGS TO THE BODY AN
INDICATOR THAT THE LEVEL SUPPORT
FOR THAT.
BUT WE SHOULDN'T BE TRYING.
TO LEGISLATURE -- THE CURRICULA.
AND A SO I THINK -- IN MANY WAYS
THAT'S MY CONCERN IS THAT I
WOULD LOVE IT IF EVERY SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
NO DOUBT THAT THEY YOU BILLS
ACCOMPLISHED BUT A MUCH DIME
BAND AS SOME CONCERNS ABOUT.
THIS IS THE ROUTE WHICH WERE
TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IT -- AND
SO CAN YOU SPEAK.
TO EFFORTS -- I MEAN IS THAT I
UNDERSTAND FUND NOW THIS IS
ACTUALLY SPONSORED BY THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE WHOSE
OVERSEAS IN THE VERY DEPARTMENT
I MEAN WHY CAN'T THE
SUPERINTENDENT IN THE WAY OF THE
AND EVERYONE SAID.
WE SHOULDN'T.
WE SHOULD DO THIS THROUGH THE
USUAL WAY THAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO
BE DOING THIS INSTEAD OF TRYING
TO IMPOSE IT.
FROM THE LEGISLATURE -- BECAUSE
THERE'S MANY WERE THE THINGS AND
THEY SAID THAT MAKE STUDIES
CERTAINLY I THINK YOU MAKE A
VERY POWERFUL CASE FOR ETHNIC
STUDIES -- NAVY PEOPLE CAN'T
BECAUSE POWERFUL CASE FOR OTHER
THINGS BUT YEAH I THINK I THINK
WE I I AM CONCERNING YOUR
TEACHER -- SO I APPRECIATE THAT
TO YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE THAT YOU
KNOW -- YOU KNOW YOU HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO MANAGE A
CURRICULA YOU HAVE A CERTAIN
FIXED AMOUNT OF TIME WITH
STUDENTS -- AND YOU HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT HOW DO I YOU KNOW HOW
TO EDUCATE.
AND SO FORTH AND AND CERTAINLY I
THINK -- ETHNIC SAY IS A VERY
IMPORTANT PART OF THAT BUT AT
CERTAIN POINTS OUT LIKE I AS THE
EDUCATORS NEED TO BE ABLE.
TO YOU KNOW FIGURE HIGH PUT ALL
THE PIECES TOGETHER RIGHT SELF.
THE LEGISLATURE SAYS I WANT
MANDATE THIS COURSE HERE IN THAT
CLASS AND HAS TO BE IN A CERTAIN
WAY -- THAT CAN CONSTRAIN EVERY
I THINK WE SAID.
YOU SHOULD TEACH ETHNIC STUDIES
AND THAT SHOULD BE SOMETHING.
THAT STUDENTS NEED TO
DEMONSTRATE COMPETENCE AND AND
DAY AND AND BEFORE THEY GRADUATE
THAT'S ONE THING BUT THEN THE
START BEING VERY SPECIFIC ABOUT
WHICH I WAS A PERHAPS YOU CAN
SPEAK [inaudible]
TO WHY.
WHY WE'RE NOT GOING THROUGH THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WHY
ISN'T THE SUPERINTEND WELL YOU
CAN'T SPEAK FOR THE SUPER DEAD
BODIES SPONSOR BUT I MEAN WHY
ARE WE GOING THROUGH THAT ROUTE
INSTEAD OF THIS -- ONE WHERE
WE'RE BASICALLY TELLING
DEPARTMENT OCCASION THEY HAVE TO
DO SOMETHING.
I MEAN YOU HAVE A LOT OF SUPPORT
WILL HAVE EDUCATORS HERE -- I
MEAN IT'S GREAT -- SO WHY THE
WAY PEOPLE FEEL LIKE THEY CAN'T
GO THROUGH THE EDUCATION ROUTE
THROUGH THE EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
WHERE V. OF EDUCATORS FELL
EDUCATORS THERE AND WE HAVE SO
MUCH SUPPORT AND EDUCATION TO ME
THAT WAS EXPRESSED HERE.
WHY CAN'T IT BE ACCOMPLISHED
THAT WAY INSTEAD OF -- BASICALLY
FROM THE OUTSIDE FRANKLY YEAH.
THANK YOU SENATOR YES I I THINK
IT'S AN EXCELLENT EXCELLENT
QUESTION.
SO AS YOU MENTIONED I WAS A
TEACHER HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER.
AND ONE OF THE SUBJECTS THAT I
TOP WAS HISTORY -- AND GOT A
MASTERS IN HISTORY -- SO I FEEL --
SOMEWHAT COMPETENT IN THE FIELD
OF HIS I RECOGNIZE IS AN EXPERT
IN THIS.
AND I AND I WOULD SAY THAT IT IS
NOT I AGREE WITH YOU.
THAT IT IS NOT OR SHOULDN'T BE.
THE LEGISLATURE'S ROLE
[inaudible] TO RIGHT CURRICULA.
TO SAY WHAT CLASSES SHOULD
INCLUDE.
WHETHER IT BE HISTORY.
OR FOREIGN LANGUAGE OR MATH OR
SCIENCE IT IS NOT THE ROLE OF
THE LEAD OF THE LEGISLATURE TO
SAY WHAT SHOULD BE.
IN THE CURRICULUM.
AND THIS BILL DOESN'T DO THAT.
THIS BILL DOESN'T DO THAT AT ALL.
AS I MENTIONED IN MY EARLIER
REMARKS.
WE HAD A ASSEMBLY MEMBER LEVEL
WHO INTRODUCED THE BILL THAT
PASSED THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION. TO CREATE THE
CURRICULUM.
THEY HAVE DONE THAT NOW.
THAT CURRICULUM THAT THEY
CREATED.
WITH INPUT FROM TEACHERS.
FROM -- ACADEMICS.
OF FROM PEOPLE IN THE FIELD.
THEY DEVELOP THE CURRICULUM.
SO WE THE LEGISLATURE.
OUR HANDS OFF ON THAT AS WE
SHOULD BE.
AS WE SHOULD BE -- IT I THINK
WOULD BE DANGEROUS FOR
LEGISLATURE'SLEGISLATORS TO SAY
WHAT HAS TO BE IN THE CURRICULUM
SO WE DID THAT.
WE DID THAT WE DID WITH DID THAT
WITH THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER ALEJO'S
BILL.
BUT THAT'S WHAT THAT BILL DID
[inaudible]
CREATED CURRICULA.
NOW THAT WE HAVE THAT CURRICULUM
CORRECT ROUTE [inaudible]
BY SAYING
WE HAVE THIS CURRICULUM
DEVELOPED BY EXPERTS
[inaudible]
INPUT.
BY A BROAD VARIETY OF EXPERTS.
INCLUDING TEACHERS.
BUT WE THINK THAT CURRICULUM IS
IMPORTANT ENOUGH THAT IT SHOULD
BE TAUGHT.
EVERYWHERE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
AND THAT I DO THINK IS THE ROLE
OF THE LEGISLATURE. TO SAY WHAT
SHOULD BE THE REQUIREMENTS
[inaudible] FOR GRADUATION --
CERTAINLY FOR HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS.
AND LATER TODAY THERE IS A BILL
THAT I AM CO AUTHOR ON ASKING --
TELLING THE CSU THAT THEY SHOULD
DO THE SAME.
AND AND THAT'S AN EVEN BIGGER
STEP BECAUSE I WAS A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TRUSTEE.
AND RESPECT THE DIFFERENTIATION
BETWEEN -- GIVING THE FACULTY
[inaudible]
POWER.
IN THE END IN THE COLLEGE LEVEL
TOOK. TO HAVE ALL THINGS --
ACADEMIC.
BUT AS I SAID ALSO IN BEEN THE
BEGINNING.
IT IS NOW BEEN FIFTEEN YEARS.
IT HAS BEEN FIFTY YEARS
[inaudible]
SINCE.
STRUGGLE BECAUSE T CAME OUT OF
STRUGGLE.
OF STUDENTS [inaudible]
DIVERSE STUDENTS.
WHO STOOD UP AND SAID YOU KNOW
WE DON'T SEE OURSELVES REFLECTED?
IN THE TEACHERS IN FRONT OF US
IN THE COUNSELORS AT THE HIGH
SCHOOLS IN THE ADMINISTRATORS.
IN THE CURRICULA SO IT WAS OUT
OF THAT STRUGGLE THAT THESE
CLASSES THAT THIS -- CAME OUT OF
AND WE'VE NOW SEEN FIFTY YEARS.
WHERE NOTHING IS CHANGED?
WE WE WE ARE SEEING SOME
DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA SEEING THE VALUE.
OF TEACHING ETHNIC STUDIES AND
INCLUDING THEM IN THOSE INCLUDE --
DAVIS SANTA BARBARA [inaudible]
LOS ANGELES.
SO WE'VE SEEN MANY DISTRICTS
CHOOSE AND AND AND TO MAKE IT A
REQUIREMENT ON THEIR OWN.
BUT I DO THINK IT IS THE THE THE
THE JOB.
OF THE LEGISLATURE TO LOOK AT
THINGS HOLISTICALLY AND TO SAY.
THIS.
BUT NEEDS TO BE TAUGHT THIS
SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT
EVERYONE.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS
COMPETENT AS A TEACHER.
I DO NOT SEE HOW.
IF I COULD MENTION SOMEONE.
SOMEONE WHO IS RESPECTED TOM
BROKE OFF.
SOMEONE WHO IS RESPECTED
NATIONALLY IN THE UNITED STATES
[inaudible]
HOW?
IS SOMEONE LIKE TOM BROKAW
[inaudible]
THE NEWSCASTER. TO MAKE COMMENTS
ABOUT LATINOS -- NOT KNOWING
ENOUGH ENGLISH.
WE'RE NOT TRYING HARD ENOUGH TO
LEARN ENGLISH HOW CAN YOU THINK
OF THAT PERSON AS BEING FULLY
EDUCATED.
WHEN THEY MAKE STATEMENTS LIKE
THAT?
SO IT IS THAT [inaudible]
KNOWLEDGE.
THAT WE HAVE THAT WE ARE SAYING --
STUDENTS WHO DON'T HAVE THIS
EDUCATION ARE LACKING.
THERE SHOULD BE COMPETENT IN I
DO THINK IT IS OUR ROLE TO SAY.
THEY SHOULD HAVE THAT KNOWLEDGE.
ALL RIGHT ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS.
YOUR FOLLOW UP CENTER PAN SO SO
FIRST OF ALL -- AS IMMEDIATE FOR
SO I WENT AND I I'LL TAKE
TREMENDOUS RSPECT YOU KNOLLYS
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BUT ALSO AS AN
EDUCATOR AND I APPRECIATE -- YOU
BRING THIS FORWARD IN YOUR
DISCUSSION I A I A STILL
CONTINUE HAVE CONCERNS --
SOMEONE WHO IS NOW FOR FASTER
AND HIGHER EDUCATION AS WELL --
ABOUT EXACTLY OUR ROLE IN.
DICTATING CURRICULA SO YOU'RE
RIGHT YOU KNOW WE DID HAVE
PROCESS WERE YOU KNOW THOSE THE
A CARIBBEAN CRUISE CURRICULA.
NUMBER DEVELOPED AROUND ETHNIC
STUDIES -- I A YEAH I I SIX
THOUGH.
THE WAY THE BILL WAS FRAMED --
FOR IT REQUIRES A PARTICULAR
COURSE -- IT I THINK IS LOW
CONCERNING IS STILL CONCERNING
TO ME -- IN TERMS OF I I I
SUPPORT THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE
SHOULD HAVE AND FLEE I'VE AS A
PERSON OF COLOR WHO GREW UP WITH
DIDN'T SEE VERY MUCH OF DON'T
WASTE IT MYSELF -- FOR I A AND A
FEW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND AND I
I THINK THAT STERN CERTAINLY I
AGREE WITH YOU THERE ARE --
THERE IS A LOT OF THERE IS
TREMENDOUS IGNORANCE OF OF OF OF
OF THE HISTORY OF MANY OF THOSE
PEOPLE TO ACTUALLY TO WHO WHO --
NOW HE LIVES -- BUT CONTRIBUTE
TO OUR COUNTRY THE PEOPLE ARE
NOT AWARE OF THE HISTORY OF AND
A I OPENED MYSELF I HAVE I'VE
IGNORANCE IN MANY AREAS AS WELL
AND THROUGH MY OWN EDUCATION.
AS MUCH AS AS MUCH SCHOOLS HAVE
GONE THROUGH PRIDE MORE SO THAN
ANY -- IT BUT I A YOU KNOW IT AS
AN EDUCATOR I STILL HAVE
CONCERNS ABOUT -- NOT WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO TEACH BUT AT X.
WHICH I THINK IS EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT MADE A VERY POWERFUL
CASE WITNESSES A MADE A VERY
POWERFUL CASE I THE THE THE
ROUTE WHICH WE'RE GOING TO IN
TERMS OF TRYING TO AND HOW WE'RE
TRYING TO DICTATE IT.
AND I I HAVE CONCERNS THAT ABOUT
THE LEGISLATURE DOING THAT --
VERSES -- OTHER MECHANISMS BUT I
I DO APPRECIATE YOU BRING THIS
FORWARD THANK YOU THANK YOU
SENDER TO RAZA.
YES -- I TO WANT TO THANK YOU --
I'M SURE EVERY SINGLE OF CHICANO
LATINO AFRICAN AMERICAN WHO WENT
THROUGH THE STRUGGLE OVER THE
MANY DECADES IN THE PAST CAN
POINT TO OUR OWN STORIES.
OF THE IMPACT THAT TAKE INTO A
CLASS -- SO YOUR STORY PLACE TO
ME MANY MANY YEARS AGO OF NOT
EVER HAVING READ ANYTHING.
IN HISTORY BOOKS OR IN ANY BOOK
ABOUT THE CONTRIBUTIONS ARE ON
THE PRESENCE.
OTHER THAN -- NATIVE AMERICANS
IN A VERY.
NOT IN A VERY POSITIVE WAY IN A
VERY NEGATIVE WAY.
SO I I APPRECIATE EVERYONE'S --
ROLE IN MOVING THIS FORWARD -- I
WOULD.
I WOULD -- WITH REGARD TO MY
COLLEAGUE CENTER PANS --
CONCERNS I WOULD NORMALLY HAVE
THE SAME CONCERN I WOULD START
OUT WITH WITH THAT CONCERNED --
BECAUSE WE DO WANT TO LIMIT WHAT
THE RULE IS AND MAKE SURE THAT
IT'S ABSOLUTELY AN ESSENTIAL
PART OF WHAT.
OUR RESPONSIBILITIES ARE.
BUT HAVING BEEN THROUGH THE
STRUGGLE AND HAVING SEEN THAT
LIKE YOU SAID AT LEAST FIFTY
YEARS AGO THAT THE STARTED
THAT TIME COMES WHEN.
LEGISLATURE HAS TO STEP IN
BECAUSE IT'S NOT GETTING DONE
[inaudible]
AND WE'RE OF THE MIND WE DO THAT
IN A NUMBER OF SUBJECTS IN A
NUMBER OF AREAS.
WE DO THAT WITH HEALTH WE DO
THAT WITH OTHER THINGS WHEN IT'S
NOT GETTING DONE RIGHT.
GOVERNMENT HAS TO STEP IN TO
CORRECT IT -- I WOULD PREFER.
IN A MUCH MUCH OF A BIGGER WAY I
WOULD PREFER THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE
THE WE SPOKE OF THE REQUIREMENT
OF THOSE SPECIFIC ETHNIC STUDIES.
I WOULD PREFER THAT HISTORY
BOOKS INCLUDED US WITHOUT HAVING
ETHNIC STUDIES REQUIRED -- I
THINK IT'S SHAMEFUL I THINK IT'S
SHAMEFUL THAT WOMEN'S ROLES THE
LGBT Q. ROLE THAT THE THE ROLE
OF ETHNIC GROUPS.
I THINK IT'S SHAMEFUL THAT OUR
HISTORY BOOKS DO NOT REFLECT THE
TRUTH.
OF WHAT WHAT HAS BEEN THE
HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY IN OF
THE WORLD.
SO -- I THINK THERE ARE TIMES
WHEN WE DO HAVE TO STEP IN AND I
THINK THIS IS ONE OF THOSE FEW
TIMES SO.
I APPRECIATE AND SUPPORT YOU.
VERY GOOD -- I OUT ONE AT SHARE
MY THOUGHTS AS WELL -- BUT FIRST
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
LEADERSHIP IN THIS AREA I WANT
TO THANK ASSEMBLY MEMBER LIKE
HELL FOR HIS LEADERSHIP PRIOR TO
YOU AND THERE'S SO MANY OTHERS
WHO HAVE.
TRIED TO LEAD IN THIS AREA NOT
NECESSARILY THROUGH LEGISLATION
BUT THROUGH ACTIVISM ON OUR
CAMPUSES.
AND IN OUR COMMUNITIES --
THERE'S NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT
ETHNIC STUDIES IS A CRITICAL.
UP POINT OF UNDERSTANDING FOR US
IN CALIFORNIA FOR US AS A
SOCIETY.
THAT -- WITHOUT THAT TYPE OF
UNDERSTANDING.
AND TOLERANCE OUR WHOLE COHESION
AS A COMMUNITY AS A STATE AS A
COUNTRY AS WORLD -- IS IS IN
JEOPARDY.
AND SO IT IS SO IMPORTANT THAT
WE HAVE THAT UNDERSTANDING --
THE DILEMMA FOR ME IN YOUR BILL
THOUGH IS SIMILAR TO DOCTOR PANS
THE ISSUE THAT HE HAS RAISED.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT THE
LEGISLATURE IN THEIR WISDOM HAS
A IT HAS DIRECTED.
THAT MODEL CURRICULUM THE
ESTABLISHED IN THIS AREA.
AND THAT WE ARE IN THE PROCESS
OF DOING THAT RIGHT NOW.
IT'S COMPLETED SENATOR.
OKAY ACCORDING TO THE ANALYSIS.
SAYS THAT THE THE INSTRUCTIONAL
QUALITY COMMISSION.
HAS TO SUBMIT THE MODEL
CURRICULUM BY DECEMBER THIRTY
FIRST TWENTY NINETEEN HAVE THEY
ALREADY DONE THAT.
RIGHT THE GROUP MODEL CURRICULUM
AS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
I IT IS NOW MY UNDERSTANDING AND
IF THERE'S ANYONE HERE FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION THE MY
CORRECT ME.
BUT THE THE MODEL CURRICULUM HAS
BEEN COMPLETED.
IT'S ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED PAGES
IT'S ON MY DESK -- AND IT IS NOW
LOOK -- THE TIME FOR PUBLIC
REVIEW.
OF THAT MODEL GET KILLED AND
THAT THAT THAT'S CONSISTENT WITH
THE ANALYSIS THE HOUSES SAYS
THAT THERE'S A DEADLINE FOR
COMPLETING THE DRAFT IT'S GOING
THROUGH THAT.
REVIEW PROCESS THAT THE THE
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION HAS TO
ADOPT THE CURRICULUM.
BY MARCH THIRTY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY SO WE HAVE A PROCESS IN
PLACE YOU JUST ACKNOWLEDGE THAT
THAT WHICH IS GOOD.
THAT THEY'RE TRYING TO PROVIDE.
A AT WITH GOOD WISDOM THIS MODEL
CURRICULUM FOR HOW THE SCHOOLS
CAN TEACH ETHNIC STUDIES RIGHT.
AND THE EFFORT TO TRY TO PROMOTE
AND ENCOURAGE OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO TEACH ETHNIC
STUDIES SO THAT.
THAT PROCESS IS IS IS GOING.
AHEAD.
AND WITH THE MARCH. TWENTY
TWENTY DEADLINE FOR THE STATE
BOARD OF EDUCATION TO ENGAGE SO
THE DILEMMA FOR ME IS IS THAT
TYPICALLY WHEN -- THAT THE
QUESTION OF IS THERE A
COMPELLING STATE NEED FOR US TO
GET INVOLVED IN ALL KINDS OF
THINGS.
YOU HAVE TO LOOK AND SAY OKAY.
WHAT'S THE PROGRESS OF THE WORK
BEING DONE.
AND ARE THERE ROAD BLOCKS TO IT
THAT WE SHOULD BE AWARE OF EYES
ARE OPPOSITION TO IT THAT WE
SHOULD BE AWARE OF HAVE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS HAD THE CHANCE TO
ENACT THIS AND THEY HAVEN'T.
TAKEN THOSE STEPS THESE ARE ALL
THE QUESTIONS THAT GO THROUGH MY
HEAD.
AND I GUESS THAT THAT LEAVES ME.
SHORT TO THE EXTENT THAT.
WE HAVEN'T EVEN GIVEN THAT MODEL
CURRICULUM YET.
THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN THE
ENGAGEMENT THAT I'M AWARE OF AND
MAYBE YOU CAN SHARE -- WHAT YOU
NOW?
WHERE SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT SAID
NO NO NO NO NO WE HAVE A
THOUSAND SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE
WE GIVEN THE CHANCE TO DO THE
RIGHT THING -- BECAUSE CLEARLY
THEIR WORK IS LACKING I WE AGREE.
BUT I SEE HOW MANY KIDS ARE
TAKING AT THINK STUDIES 1%
THAT'S EMBARRASSING.
AND IS THAT OUR FAULT WE'RE
WE'RE NOT PROVIDING THAT
CURRICULUM OR IS OR SOME OTHER
PLACE WHERE WE CAN BE WORKING
TOGETHER TO MAKE THAT BETTER.
BUT THAT'S REALLY MY FIRST
QUESTION TO YOU IS IS WHAT WHAT
HAVE WE DONE TO GIVE THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THEIR ABILITY TO DO
THE RIGHT THING BEFORE WE STEP
IN.
SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS LIKE DAVIS
THAT RECENTLY ADOPTED ETHNIC
STUDIES.
AS RECENT AS LAST MONTH.
HAVE SAID WHY WAIT FOR THIS
LEGISLATION TO GET PAST AND THEY
HAVE SAID THAT AT THEIR MEETINGS.
AT THEIR BOARD MEETINGS AND WE
SAW HERE -- A SEVERAL SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS IN SUPPORT OF A OF
THIS BILL.
I I I KNOW THAT.
I I WOULD SAY THAT EVERYONE HERE
WHO'S TESTIFIED -- WHICH SHARE
MY OWN CONCERN.
THAT IT IS ONE THING TO CREATE
CURRICULUM FOR DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION IS ANOTHER THING TO
IMPLEMENT THAT CURRICULA
[inaudible]
AND SO.
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
SOMETIMES CREATES CURRICULUM
LIKE THEY DID FOR THE SEVEN SAYS
ARE CHAVEZ HOLIDAY.
OR PERHAPS THE WHOLE COST.
BUT IT IS ANOTHER THING TO SEE
THAT CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTED IN
THE DISTRICTS.
AND AND I WOULD BE VERY HAPPY.
IF EVERY ONE OF THOSE ONE
THOUSAND SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
DID LIKE DAVIS.
OR SANTA BARBARA.
AND ON THEIR OWN SAID WE WERE
GOING TO DO THIS.
BUT I THINK THEY'VE HAD TIME TO
DO THAT ALREADY.
YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN AGAIN FIFTY
YEARS.
I AM NOT GONNA LIVE ANOTHER
FIFTY YEARS.
BUT I WOULD HATE.
THAT MY GREAT GRAND CHILDREN
WOULD STILL BE HAVING THE SAME
CLASSES.
BEING TAUGHT THE SAME THINGS
THAT ARE BEING TAUGHT TODAY
[inaudible]
I WOULD RESPECTFULLY SAY THAT.
WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS GET
BOTH THINGS ON AT THE SAME TIME
THAT WHEN THE CURRICULUM IS IS
READY?
BECAUSE OUR BILL SAYS THAT THIS
WOULD BECOME A HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATE XIN REQUIREMENT AND
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE GIVING SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
AMPLE TIME TO PREPARE TRAIN
THEIR TEACHERS.
GET THE CURRICULUM SO WE ARE
WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
AS AS YOU NOTED [inaudible]
THEY ARE.
A SPONSOR OF THIS BILL.
AND TONY THURMOND STATE
SUPERINTENDENT WAS WITH ME --
WHEN HE WHEN WE PRESENTED THIS
BILL IN THE -- ASSEMBLY THEY ARE
GETTING COMMITTEE WELL AGAIN
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
AND SI I THINK THAT THAT IS THE
ISSUE THAT GIVES ME PAUSE NOT
ABOUT THE BELIEF AND THE DESIRE.
TO HAVE THAT UNDERSTANDING THAT
BROADER UNDERSTANDING OF OUR OF
OUR WORLD AND OUR CLASSES BUT
THAT.
THAT WE SEEM TO BE ON ATTRACTED
TO PROVIDE THAT MODEL CURRICULUM
AND THAT HOPEFULLY HAVE OURS ARE
EDUCATIONAL LEADERS TAKE THE
RIGHT STEPS TO INCORPORATED.
AND I THINK THAT'S A BETTER
PROCESS TO PLAY OUT THAN US
CREATING A MANDATE -- RIGHT UP
FRONT EVEN THOUGH FOR SUCH A
GOOD AND IMPORTANT BECAUSE AS
YOU AS YOU PROMOTES THAT BE MY
MY CONCLUDING COMMENTS.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS.
ALL RIGHT BEFORE I ENTERTAIN A
MOTION I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
FOR BEING SO -- DOGGETT IN THIS
I I BELIEVE THAT ASSEMBLY MEMBER
ALEJO'S HAD THIS BILL WHEN I
FIRST CAME TO THE SENATE AND I
WAS HAPPY TO VOTE FOR THEN.
I VOTED FOR YOUR BILL LAST YEAR
I WILL BE SUPPORTING IT THIS
YEAR.
WE ARE WORKING ON MODEL
CURRICULUM BUT I THINK WHAT I
WORRY ABOUT IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU
SAID ASSEMBLYMEMBER IT'S BEEN
FIFTY YEARS AND SOMETIMES WE
CANNOT RELY ON PEOPLE AND WAIT
FOR THEM TO DO THE RIGHT THING
OUT OF THE GOODNESS OF THEIR
HEART.
AND OUR JOB IS TO LEGISLATE AND
LEGISLATING THIS IS MEANING THAT
PEOPLE WILL BE FORCED TO LEARN
ABOUT EACH OTHER AND GUESS WHAT
WHEN WE LEARN ABOUT EACH OTHER
WE'RE GOING TO DISCOVER THAT WE
HAVE MORE IN COMMON.
THAN NOT A MAYBE IT WILL CREATE
A BETTER WORLD BECAUSE THEN WILL
UNDERSTAND EACH OTHER AND WE
WON'T DISLIKE EACH OTHER SO I
APPRECIATE YOU BEING SO DOG IN
THIS -- HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT --
DO DO WE HAVE A MOTION I'M SORRY
TO STEP BACK OKAY THE BILL HAS
BEEN MOVED BY.
SENATOR TORONTO.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO CLOSE SORRY
THANK YOU SENATOR.
I I VERY MUCH WANT TO THANK ALL
THE WITNESSES THE STUDENTS THE
TEACHERS PROFESSORS.
VERY FIRST GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM
THE OUT THE HOSTED A CALIFORNIA
WHO'VE COME TO TESTIFY ON BEHALF
OF THE BILL.
AND IN CLOSING I I I WANNA SAY I
HAVE WITH ME TODAY -- VETERAN OF
THE YEAR TEACHER RATIO SAID
THOUGH WHO TAUGHT WITH ME A POLY
HIGH SCHOOL FOR THIRTEEN YEARS.
WHEN?
FILMMAKER KEN BURNS.

TWO WE KNOW THAT.
AFRICAN AMERICANS ASIAN
AMERICANS LATINOS FOUGHT.
IN ALMOST EVERY SINGLE WAR.
THAT THIS NATION.

STATEWIDE POST SECONDARY
COORDINATION AND PLANNING ENTITY.
WE HAVE BEEN CALIFORNIA WE HAVE
ADMIN WITHOUT A PLANNING ENTITY
TO COVER ARE ARE A COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ARE SEE ISSUE IN ARE
YOU SEE SINCE TWO THOUSAND AND
TWELVE WHEN THE SYSTEM WE HAD IN
PLACE WAS DE FUNDED IN.
TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN AFTER IT WAS.
AS THE BUDGET IS STATE WAS GOING
TO VERY HARD BUDGET TIMES IT WAS
CONTINUING KIND OF CHIPPED AWAY
AT A AND THAT LEAVES US -- I
THINK IT'S ONLY ONE OF TWO
STATES IN THE NATION THAT DOES
NOT HAVE AN OVERALL COORDINATING.
BODY -- COORDINATING FOR OUR
GOALS COORDINATING FOR WHERE WE
MIGHT HAVE AN A A NEW CAMPUS --
OVERALL -- HOW THE STUDENTS ARE
DOING A AND SO BRED AS AS WE
STAND RIGHT NOW THE WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT LEAVING NO STOOD BEHIND
AND WE KNOW THEY WERE?
THIRTY THOUSAND CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS WITHOUT A SEAT LAST
TIME AND AND THE NEW AUDITS WE
HEAR ALL THE TIME.
ABOUT SOMETIMES AS MANY NOT
BEING SPENT AS IT WAS ACCOUNTED.
FOR IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT IT
IS NOW THE TIME TO RE INSTATE
THE OVERSEEING BODY.
THAT WOULD BE ABLE TO SERVE --
IN THIS AND I AND I'M ALSO AWARE
THAT THERE IS ANOTHER BILL
MOVING ON THE SENATE SIDE AND WE
REALIZE AT SOME POINT WE WILL
HAVE TO COORDINATE THE TWO OF
THOSE BILLS.
AND WE ARE STANDING BY READY TO
DO THAT -- THE COMMISSION WAS
BORN IN THE NINETEEN SIXTY
MASTER PLAN -- AND WE GOT AND WE
WENT A LONG TIME AND BEING THE
MODEL FOR THE WORLD AND I THINK
AS WE ALL KNOW WITH BUDGET CUTS
WE'VE TAKEN SOME STUMBLES AND WE
THINK PUTTING BACK INTO PLACE A
COORDINATING BODY.
WOULD SERVE THAT IN TODAY I HAVE
WITH ME.

WILL BE ENSURING THAT THE ACCESS

HAVE BEEN HISTORICALLY
UNDERREPRESENTED IN HIGHER
EDUCATION.
YET AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER EGGMAN
POINTED OUT CALIFORNIA CURRENTLY
STANDS AS ONE OF ONLY TWO STATES
WITHOUT A STATEWIDE COORDINATING
BODY FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
MEANING WE LACK THE STATE LEVEL
LEADERSHIP RESPONSIBLE FOR

COORDINATION TO POSITION OUR
STATE TO MEET THESE CHALLENGES
WE NEED A BODY THAT IS NOT
REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY ONE SECTOR

CONVERSATIONS ANALYSIS AND
EXPERTISE TOWARDS THESE GOALS.

SUSTAINABLE NOR IDEAL IN A STATE
WITH SYSTEMS AS LARGE AND
COMPLEX AS CALIFORNIANS.

CRITICAL VOID AND ESTABLISHES

IMPORTANTLY IT ALSO PRESENTS AN
OPPORTUNITY AND MEANS FOR THE
STATE TO ARTICULATE A LONG RANGE
VISION FOR HIGHER EDUCATION WITH

PUT INTO STATUTE IN TWO THOUSAND
SIX FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
NURSING FACULTY TO EXCEED THE
PART TIME FACULTY COURSE LOAD

ALLOWING FOR MORE CONTINUITY IN

SHIFTS ONE TO TWO DAYS A WEEK.
MANY CLINICAL NURSING
INSTRUCTORS CONTINUE TO SERVICE
PRACTICING LICENSE NURSES WHILE

JUSTIN SELLING COMBAT FOR THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS THE SPONSOR
OF AB.
TEN FIFTY ONE A BY REMOVING THE
67% LOW CAP ON PART TIME NURSING
FACULTY.
THE SCENARIO THAT WAS DESCRIBED
BY THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER WHERE AN
INSTRUCTOR MUST BE REPLACED IN
THE MIDDLE OF A TERM WOULD BE
AVOIDED.
AS YOU CAN IMAGINE IT IS
DIFFICULT FOR AN INSTRUCTOR TO
PROPERLY EVALUATE THE STUDENT
THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN WITH
SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE
SEMESTER.
THIS MID TERM ON BOARDING IS
DISRUPTIVE TO THE INSTRUCTORS OF
THE STUDENTS AND THE CLINICAL
FACILITY THAT IS HOSTING THE
PROGRAM.
AB TEN FIFTY ONE IS ALSO NEEDED
BECAUSE OF THE DIFFICULTY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE NURSING
PROGRAMS HAVE IN FINDING FULL
TIME FACULTY. FOR EXAMPLE OVER
THE LAST TEN YEARS VENTURA
COLLEGE HAS HAD THREE TO FIVE ON
FIELD OPENINGS FOR FULL TIME
NURSING FACULTY.
RECENTLY THEY WERE FORCED TO
REDUCE EMISSIONS BY 20% AND
THEIR ASSOCIATES DEGREE OF
NURSING PROGRAMS.
IN THE EXEMPTION AND AB TEN
FIFTY ONE WOULD HAVE ALLOWED THE
COLLEGE TO ACCEPT IN THEIR
NORMAL THAT MISSION NUMBERS.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE NURSING
PROGRAMS ARE HIGH QUALITY AND
AFFORDABLE OPTIONS THAT PROVIDE
SOCIAL MOBILITY TO STUDENTS FROM
DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS FROM ALL
OVER CALIFORNIA.
AND AB TEN FIFTY ONE IS A
VALUABLE TOOL THAT DISTRICTS CAN
UTILIZE TO MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER

DUAL ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS
PARTICULARLY THOSE WHICH TAKE
PLACE ON HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTION CAMPUSES HAVE SHOWN
TO BE EXCELLENT TOOLS FOR
ENCOURAGING COLLEGE READINESS.
PARTICIPATING STUDENTS ARE MORE
LIKELY TO COMPLETE COLLEGE THAN
THEIR NON PARTICIPATING PEERS.
AND CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT HAS
PROVEN PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE
FOR YOUNG MEN OF COLOR LOW
INCOME STUDENTS AND FIRST
GENERATION STUDENTS.
NOT ONLY GAIN VALUABLE CAREER
SKILLS OR EARNED GENERAL
EDUCATION UNITS THAT CAN
TRANSFER TO A FOUR YEAR
UNIVERSITY BUT THEY ALSO LEARNED
THEY CAN BE SUCCESSFUL IN
COLLEGE.
THIS GIVES THEM THE CONFIDENCE
TO CONTINUE WITH COLLEGE AFTER
HIGH SCHOOL AND PUTS THEM ON A
PATH TOWARD ACHIEVING THEIR
ACADEMIC GOALS.
SUMMER IS THE IDEAL TIME FOR
STUDENTS TO PARTICIPATE IN DUAL
ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS AS STUDENTS
ARE FREE OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES
AND WORKLOAD THAT COME WITH THE
REGULAR ACADEMIC YEAR.
HOWEVER CURRENT LAW LIMITS THE
NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
WHO CAN ENROLL IN SUMMER COURSES
AT OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
ONLY 5% OF STUDENTS PER GRADE
LEVEL PER SCHOOL ARE PERMITTED
TO ENROLL IN THESE PROGRAMS.
AB SEVENTEEN TWENTY NINE EXPANDS
COLLEGE ACCESS FOR HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS DURING THE SUMMER BY
REMOVING THAT 5% CAP FOR
STUDENTS WHO ENROLL IN GENERAL
EDUCATION COURSES THAT TRANSFER
TO A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY OR A
CAREER PATHWAY.
THIS BELIEVES IN PLACE
RESTRICTIONS ON PHYSICAL
EDUCATION COURSES AND COURSES
DURING THE REGULAR ACADEMIC YEAR.
AND WITH ME TODAY AS A WITNESS
IN SUPPORT IS ERIC HARNISCH FROM
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT A COLLEGE OF THE
CANYONS IN SANTA CLARITA.
THANK YOU WELCOME.
I'M SHOULD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK TODAY IN SUPPORT OF AB --
SEVENTEEN TWENTY NINE WHICH
PROMISES TO HELP MORE HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS FIND THAT THEY
HAVE A PLACE IN COLLEGE.
THERE ARE COLLEGE MORE THAN A
THOUSAND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
GET A JUMP START.
ON COLLEGE EACH YEAR -- BY
TAKING CLASSES AT COLLEGE OF THE
CANYONS.
THEY NOT ONLY GAIN VALUABLE
CAREER SKILLS WERE GENERAL
EDUCATION UNITS A CAN TRANSFER
TO A FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY.
BUT THEY ALSO LEARN THEY CAN BE
SUCCESSFUL IN COLLEGE.
THIS GIVES THEM THE CONFIDENCE
TO CONTINUE WITH COLLEGE AFTER
HIGH SCHOOL AND PUT THEM ON A
PATH TOWARD ACHIEVING THEIR
ACADEMIC GOALS.
AND THEY SUCCEED ACADEMICALLY
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS REGULARLY
OUTPERFORM THE COLLEGE AGE
STUDENTS AND THEY'RE SITTING
NEXT TO IN THEIR CLASSES.
AS OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM
CONTINUES.
TO IT'S EFFORTS TO MEET THE
AMBITIOUS VISION FOR SUCCESS
GOALS OF INCREASING DEGREES AND
CERTIFICATES TRANSFERRING MORE
STUDENTS TO FOUR YEAR
UNIVERSITIES AND HELPING MORE
STUDENTS SUCCESSFULLY MOVED FROM
CLASSROOMS TO CAREERS.
THESE ARE THE KINDS OF
OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE NEED TO
CREATE.
AB SEVENTEEN TWENTY NINE OFFERS
MORE FLEXIBILITY FOR STUDENTS
GIVING THEM THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ENROLL IN ALMOST ANY COURSE A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE OFFERS DURING
THE SUMMER.
AS THE SUMMER WOMAN SAID SUMMER
IS THE IDEAL TIME FOR HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS TO ENROLL.
AND AS THEY ARE FREE THE
RESPONSIBILITIES IN WORKLOAD THE
COME WITH THE REGULAR ACADEMIC
YEAR.
MOREOVER THEY TAKE THE CLASSES
AT THE COLLEGE CAMPUS GIVING
THEM A CHANCE TO EXPERIENCE
CAMPUS LIFE.
MAKE USE OF AVAILABLE SUPPORT
RESOURCES LIKE FREE TUTORING AND
LEARN THEY CAN INDEED BE
SUCCESSFUL IN COLLEGE.
THIS IS WHAT PERRANCE TELLS THAT
THEY WANT FOR THEIR STUDENTS
WHEN WE SURVEYED PARENTS OF
ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH GRADERS
RECENTLY. 88% OF THEM EXPRESSED
INTEREST IN THEIR SUDENTS
TAKING CLASSES AT COLLEGE OF THE
CANYONS.
AB SEVENTEEN TWENTY NINE WOULD
ALLOW MORE THAN TO DO JUST THAT.
SO I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES IN

AND THERE'S SO MANY THINGS ABOUT
THIS BILL AND THE OPPORTUNITY
THAT IT MAY PROVIDE TO STUDENTS
THAT'S JUST ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL

FOURTEEN SIXTY BEGIN WHENEVER
YOU'RE READY THANK YOU WELCOME
GOOD MORNING AND TO MADAM CHAIR
AND MEMBERS THE I'M HERE TODAY
TO PRESENT TO YOU AB.
FOURTEEN SIXTY THE C. ISSUE
EDUCATES THE MOST ETHNICALLY
DIVERSE STUDENT BODY IN THE
NATION.
AND THAT DIVERSITY SHOULD BE
CELEBRATED BY INSTITUTIONALIZING
A CURRICULUM THAT IS RELEVANT.
INCLUSIVE AND REFLECTIVE OF THE
STUDENT CULTURES AND BACKGROUNDS
THEY SERVE. FIFTY YEARS AGO THE
C. ISSUE BECAME THE BIRTHPLACE
OF MODERN ETHNIC STUDIES.
AND ALMOST ALL OF ITS CAMPUSES
ALREADY MAINTAIN SOME LEVEL OF
ETHNIC STUDIES ON THEM.
ETHNIC STUDIES SCHOLARSHIP
FOCUSES ON THE CENTRAL ROLE THAT
RACE AND ETHNICITY PLAY.
IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF AMERICAN
HISTORY CULTURE AND SOCIETY.
ETHNIC STUDIES FEELS IN THE THE
KNOWLEDGE GAP AND CORRECT
INTENTIONAL.
MISREPRESENTATION OF PEOPLE OF
COLOR.
AND THEIR HISTORIES
CONTRIBUTIONS AND EXPERIENCES.
STUDIES HAVE FOUND THAT BOTH
STUDENTS OF COLOR AND WHITE
STUDENTS BENEFIT ACADEMICALLY
AND SOCIALLY.
FROM TAKING ETHNIC STUDIES
COURSES.
ETHNIC STUDIES COURSES
CONTRIBUTE TO IMPROVE GRADUATION
RATES POSITIVE CAMPUS CLIMATE
OUTCOMES AND ARE VITAL TO A
STUDENT SUCCESS BEYOND COLLEGE
IN AN INCREASINGLY DIVERSE
WORKFORCE AND SOCIETY.
IN TWENTY FOURTEEN THE
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
CHANCES OFFICE LAUNCH THE TASK
FORCE.
ON THE ADVANCEMENT OF ETHNIC
STUDIES COMPRISED OF FACULTY
DEPARTMENT CHAIRS PROGRAM
DIRECTORS COORDINATORS DEAN'S
ACADEMIC SENATE CHEERS AND
PRESIDENT'S THROUGHOUT THE CSU
SYSTEM.
IN TWENTY SIXTEEN THE NUMBER ONE
RECOMMENDATION OF THAT TASK
FORCE.
THAT DOUBT FINAL REPORT WAS TO
MAKE ETHNIC STUDIES A GENERAL
EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
THROUGHOUT THE CSU SYSTEM.
AB FOURTEEN SIXTY CODIFIES A
NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
C. ISSUE TASK FORCE REPORT.
AB FOURTEEN SIXTY WOULD HAVE THE
CSU TAKE UP THE TORCH TO
SYSTEMATICALLY LIVE UP TO ITS
MISSION WHICH IS TO PREPARE
STUDENTS FOR YOU INTERNATIONAL.
MULTI CULTURAL SOCIETY.
BY INCLUDING THE COMPLETION OF
AN ETHNIC STUDIES COURSE AS A
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT.
AB FOURTEEN SIXTY IN SECTION TO
SEE ANDY DIRECTS THE ACADEMIC
SENATE TO WORK WITH THE CSU
CHANCE COUNCIL ETHNIC STUDIES.
TO DEVELOP AND IMPROVE AND
APPROVE CORE COMPETENCIES TO BE
ACHIEVED BY STUDENTS TAKING AN
ETHNIC STUDIES COURSE.
THIS MEANS FACULTY WOULD BE IN
CHARGE L. OF AND WOULD DETERMINE
WHAT COURSES COUNT TOWARD THAT
WITH THIS REQUIREMENT.
AND NOT THE LEGISLATURE.
THIS BILL IS STRUCTURED IN A WAY
THAT THE ETHNIC STUDIES
REQUIREMENT MUST BE COMPLETE
IMPLEMENTED WITHIN THE EXISTING
NUMBER OF UNITS REQUIRED TO
GRADUATE FROM THE UNIVERSITY.
THEREFORE TIME TO DEGREE IS NOT
IMPEDED ON IT EITHER.
IN ADDITION AN ETHNIC STUDIES
COURSE COULD EASILY DOUBLE COUNT
FOR MULTIPLE REQUIREMENTS AND IF
A STUDENT TOOK IN ETHNIC STUDIES
COURSE AT A COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
THE REQUIREMENT WOULD BE FULFILL.
THIS BILL DOES NOT PRESCRIBED
CURRICULUM COAST CONTENT OR
STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES.
NOR DOES THIS BILL LIMIT FACULTY
MEMBERS A STUDENT'S ABILITY TO
ENGAGE IN INTELLECTUAL DEBATE AT
ALL.
AND THEREFORE DOES NOT INFRINGE
ON ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
IT SHOULD ALSO BE NOTED THAT THE
C. ISSUE ALREADY HAS COURSE
REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS THE
AMERICAN INSTITUTION
REQUIREMENTS.
THE FLEXIBILITY GIVEN IN THIS
BILL ALLOWS FOR EASY
IMPLEMENTATION FOR EACH
INDIVIDUAL CAMPUS.
DIFFERENT CAMPUSES HAVE
DIFFERENT WAYS OF CREDITING
CROSS LISTED COURSES.
AS LONG AS OF COURSE HAS A CORE
COMPETENCIES DETERMINED BY
FACULTY.
THEN THE REQUIREMENT WOULD BE
FULFILL.
LESLIE A. B. FOURTEEN CITY BUILT
ON THE INTRODUCTORY KNOWLEDGE
STUDENTS WILL RECEIVE AT THE
SECONDARY COLLEGE LEVEL AND IT
WILL MOST LIKELY BE CSU

STUDIES COURSES IN THE K. TO

I WANT TO EMPHASIZE THE FACT
THAT THIS BILL IS SUPPORTED BY
THE CALIFORNIA FACULTY
ASSOCIATION.
AND SUPPORTED BY A MULTITUDE OF
CAMPUS DEPARTMENTS STUDENT
ORGANIZATION CIVIL RIGHTS
ORGANIZATIONS AND LABOR GROUPS

I WON ALSO EMPHASIZE THE FACT
THAT FOR FORTY YEARS I CHAIRED

UNIVERSITY.
ADDITIONALLY FOR SIX YEARS I
CHEERED I WAS PRESIDENT OF THE
NATIONAL COUNCIL FOR BLACK

ORGANIZATION OF ETHNIC STUDIES.
AND SO I COULD BRING TO YOU A
WEALTH OF EXPERIENCE AND
UNDERSTANDING OF HOW THE
UNIVERSITY WORKS.
AND HOW IT DOESN'T WORK.
AND THE THINGS THAT HAVE TO
HAPPEN IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD.

I WELCOME TO BE HERE TODAY THANK
YOU THANK YOU SOMEONE MEMBER
WHATEVER WELCOME TO YOU EACH
HAVE TWO MINUTES.
GOOD MORNING TERRY LEYVA AND SET
EDUCATION COMMITTEE MY NAME IS
ROSY ONLY MINIMALLY -- AND I
GRADUATED A COUPLE WEEKS AGO
FROM CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
NORTHRIDGE WITH A DOUBLE MAJOR
IN SOCIOLOGY AND SHE GOT A
CHICANO STUDIES. FIVE YEARS AGO
I WAS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT
ORGANIZING TO TO MAKE ETHNIC
STUDIES IN A THROUGH G.
REQUIREMENT AND ELLIE U. S. D..
FIVE YEARS LATER STUDENTS ARE
FIGHTING THE SAME BATTLE TO PASS
AB FOURTEEN SIXTY AND MAKE
ETHNIC STUDIES A REQUIREMENT
ACROSS THE TWENTY THREE CSU
CAMPUSES.
WITHOUT ETHNIC STUDIES I WOULD
HAVE NOT GRADUATED WITH A
RESEARCH ASSISTANTSHIP.
PROVIDED THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PUBLISHED IN A PEER REVIEWED
JOURNAL PRESENTED OUT FIVE
NATIONAL CONFERENCES AND
ORGANIZE ALONGSIDE MY COMMUNITY.
I AM ONE AMONG THOUSANDS OF
STUDENTS TO TESTIFY ABOUT THE
WAYS THE ETHNIC STUDIES CHANGE
MY LIFE IN POSITIVE WAYS THAT I
NEVER ANTICIPATED.
IN FALL TWENTY SEVENTEEN AND
FALL TWENTY EIGHTEEN FOR EXAMPLE
THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS MOBILIZED
WALKED OUT AND BOYCOTTED.
AGAINST THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
EXECUTIVE ORDERS ELEVEN HUNDRED
AND ELEVEN HUNDRED ARE MANDATED
BY CSU CHANCER TIMOTHY WHITE
MEAT THEY'LL BLANCO.
IN THE WAKE IN THE WAKE OF THE
FIFTIETH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF
ETHNIC STUDIES STUDENTS IN THE
CS YOU FIND IT EVEN MORE
COMPELLING TO MAKE ETHNIC
STUDIES A REQUIREMENT.
ETHNIC STUDIES IS A POWERFUL AND
INNOVATIVE INTERDISCIPLINARY
FIELD THAT TACKLES ISSUES
RANGING FROM IMMIGRATION
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE
INCARCERATION LABOR GENDER
RIGHTS AND SEXUALITY.
IN WAYS THE TRADITIONAL
DISCIPLINES SIMPLY CANNOT.
UNDER TITLE FIVE MANDATE THE CSU
IS ALREADY LEGALLY MANDATED TO
TEACH AMERICAN INSTITUTIONS FOR
EXAMPLE CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUES.
TITLE FIVE DOES NOT MEET THE
NEEDS OF STUDENTS WHO COME FROM
HISTORICALLY DISENFRANCHISED
BACKGROUNDS LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES AND FIRST GENERATION.
I NOTHING STUDIES REQUIREMENT IN
THE CSU ABROAD IN THE CURRICULUM
TO EMPOWER FACULTY AND STUDENTS
TO MAKE CURRICULUM DECISIONS
THAT ARE INNOVATIVE
GROUNDBREAKING AND
TRANSFORMATIVE SO THAT STUDENTS
CAN SUCCEED IN THE CSU SYSTEM.
AB FOURTEEN SIXTY IS NEEDED TO
PROTECT THE RIGHT FOR ETHNIC
STUDIES TO EXIST.
IN FALL TWENTY SEVENTEEN CSU
PRESIDENT DIANNE HARRISON
PROMISED TO MAKE ETHNIC STUDIES
A REQUIREMENT ACROSS THE CSU.
CLOSED DOORS ADMINISTRATORS LIE
ABOUT THEIR SUPPORT FOR ETHNIC
STUDIES HOWEVER ADMINISTRATORS
RARELY TAKE THE RISK OF A
HOLDING THE INTEGRITY THAT
ETHNIC STUDIES.
DESERVES.
THIS IS THE ONLY FIELD OF
KNOWLEDGE THAT WAS CREATED BY
COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND ACTIVISTS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK ALL OF YOU TO
PLEASE VOTE IN FAVOR OF AB
FOURTEEN SIXTY AND THE ENTRANCE
OF EDUCATIONAL EQUITY.
DIVERSE CITY AND CALIFORNIA'S
FUTURE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.
LEYVA AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS I'M
COULD PROFESSOR KENNETH MONTERO
LEAD OFFICE OF OVER TWO HUNDRED
MEMBERS OF THE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY AT THE STUDIES
COUNCIL.
AND CHOSEN BY THE CALIFORNIA
FACULTY ASSOCIATIONS BECOME
THEIR BEHALF AS WELL SO I THINK
EVERY TIME HARD WORKING
ENCOURAGE YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS
POTENTIALLY HISTORIC LEGISLATION.
FOR BREVITY WILL HIGHLIGHT TWO
THEMES FIRST ONLY A COUPLE
SELECT EXAMPLES. FOR TENS SECOND
SELECT A COUPLE OF MYTH IN
OPPOSITION.
ARGUMENT FIRST IT IS UNTHINKABLE
THAT IN EDUCATION EDUCATED
PERSON IN THE MULTI ETHNIC
MULTICULTURAL GLOBAL.
GLOBAL CONNECTED TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY ONLY STUDIES ONE
INTELLECTUAL AND CULTURAL
TRADITION THE UNIVERSITY.
EPIC STUDIES PROVIDE THAT ADDED
VALUE [inaudible] TO AS
MENTIONED EARLIER STRUGGLE CHAU
QUICKLY ON IT RESEARCH
DEMONSTRATES NUMEROUS ADDITIONAL
VALUES FOR ETHNIC STUDIES
INCLUDING AND UP 220% INCREASE
IN GRADUATION RATES FOR COLLEGE
STUDENTS TO SUCCEED.
IN AT LEAST ONE COURSE NO MATTER
THE MAJOR YES THAT'S A 20%
INCREASE AND ANY MAJOR SITES
BUSINESS.
MYTH ONE AB ONE OF ONE FOUR SIX
OO IS DESCRIBED AS UNPRECEDENTED
IN VIOLATES PRINCIPLES OF SHARED
GOVERNANCE AND ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
SHARED GOVERNANCE IS BESTOWED BY
THIS AUGUST BODY AND THE
LEGISLATURE JUDICIOUSLY.
ALREADY REGULATES GENERAL
EDUCATION OF THE GRADUATION
REQUIREMENTS AS APPROPRIATE AND
NECESSARY PROFESSES NO ECONOMIC
FREEDOM IS NOT ACADEMIC LICENSE
WE ARE FREE TO EXPRESS HOW WE
TEACH WITH AN ESTABLISHED
PROFESSIONAL PARAMETERS.
SET BY LEGISLATURE THIS BILL
SIMPLY REQUIRES THAT WE OFFER
THIS FACULTY CREATED CURRICULUM
WITH PROVEN ACADEMIC BENEFIT TO
ALL AS RECOMMENDED IN THE CSU
CHANCES BLUE RIBBON TASK FORCE
SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
MYTH TO THOUGH CUSTOMARILY THEY
WOULD ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP
DID NOT CONSULT THE ETHNIC
STUDIES FACULTY BEFORE SPEAKING
ON OUR BEHALF REGARDING ACADEMIC
FREEDOM OF SHARED GOVERNANCE OR
ON THE RECENT CURRICULA
EXECUTIVE.
ORDERS AND MATH THREE BY -- AS
INDICATED BY JOINT LETTER
SUBMITTED BY ETHNIC STUDIES AND
WOMEN'S STUDIES DEPARTMENT SHOES

THE DECISION FIFTY YEARS AGO

TOWARDS INVITING ALL PARTIES TO
THE CORRECT SIDE OF HISTORY

EACH BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
MY NAME IS KATHERINE NELSON I'M
CHAIR OF THE ACADEMIC SENATE OF
THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU
THIS MORNING.
WE RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE AB.
FOURTEEN SIXTY THE ACADEMIC
SENATE CSU IS THE
INSTITUTIONALLY AND LEGALLY
RECOGNIZED VOICE OF THE CSU
FACULTY IN MATTERS OF SYSTEM
WIDE ACADEMIC CONCERNS.
INCLUDING CURRICULUM AND
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS.
YOU'VE HEARD A VERY POWERFUL
CASE FOR THE IMPACT OF ETHNIC
STUDIES ON OUR STUDENTS.
CASE WITH WHICH WE AGREE HOWEVER
WE DO NOT BELIEVE THAT A
LEGISLATIVELY MANDATED
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT IS AN
APPROPRIATE MEANS.
OF ACCOMPLISHING THE ENDS
EMBODIED IN THE LEGISLATION.
FACULTY HAVE THE EXPERTISE AND
EXPERIENCE TO JUDGE THE
APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS FOR A
UNIVERSITY DEGREE.
LEGISLATIVE INVOLVEMENT
SUBSTITUTES THE GOVERNMENT'S
AGENDA FOR THAT EXPERTISE AS THE
BASIS FOR CURRICULAR DECISIONS.
THE POTENTIAL RIPPLE EFFECTS OF
THE BILL DESERVE CONSIDERATION
AS WELL.
GIVEN THE C. ISSUES HUNDRED AND
TWENTY UNIT LIMIT ON
UNDERGRADUATE DEGREES THE
ADDITIONAL THREE UNIT GRADUATION
REQUIREMENT HAS THE POTENTIAL.
TO ALTERNATE MAJOR REQUIREMENTS
ESPECIALLY IN HIGH UNIT MAJORS
ALREADY PRESSED TO MEET
ACCREDITATION AND GENERAL
EDUCATION.
REQUIREMENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY.
IN ADDITION THE WAY THE
REQUIREMENT IS CONSTRUCTED.
POSES POTENTIAL CHALLENGES FOR
THE NUMBER OF OPTIONS STUDENTS
HAVE FOR SATISFYING GENERAL
EDUCATION CULTURAL STUDIES
REQUIREMENTS AND FOR DOUBLE
COUNTING IN MAJORS AND MINORS.
THAT INVOLVE COURSES FROM THE
MULTIPLE ETHNIC STUDIES
DEPARTMENTS.
THE START DATE OF FALL TWO THAT
DIED TWENTY TWENTY IS ALSO
INSUFFICIENT TIME TO PREPARE FOR
IMPLEMENTATION.
CSU COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ARTICULATION AGREEMENTS LEARNING
OUTCOMES COURSE CERTIFICATION
AND CHANGES IN ACADEMIC PROGRAMS
ALL NEED TO BE THOROUGHLY VETTED
THROUGH APPROPRIATE CURRICULUM
REVIEW PROCESS SEES.
AND BECAUSE THE BILL CREATES AN
UNFUNDED MANDATE REDUCTIONS IN
OTHER PROGRAMS MAY BE NECESSARY
TO SORT THE BECAUSE OF
IMPLEMENTATION.
THIS COMMITTEE HAS A POLICY
REGARDING BILLS RELATING TO
CURRICULUM FRAMEWORKS AND MODEL
CURRICULA THAT STATES THAT SUCH
MEASURE SHOULD BE INTRODUCED
ONLY A MINUTE AFTER REMEMBER HAS
TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO USE
ADMINISTRATIVE ROUTES.
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.
A PARALLEL EXISTS.
IN THIS CASE AS WELL.
ANY PROPOSAL FOR SYSTEM MY
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS SHOULD
BE VETTED THROUGH ESTABLISHED
CSU SHARED GOVERNANCE PROCESSES.
OUR RESOLUTION AS THREE THREE
EIGHT ZERO CREATES THAT
ALTERNATIVE BY PROVIDING JUST
SUCH A SHARED GOVERNMENT
GOVERNANCE MECHANISM TO
RECOMMEND CSU ETHNIC STUDIES
CURRICULUM BASED ON THE ETHNIC
STUDIES TASK FORCE REPORT.
WE APPRECIATE THE INCREASED
FLEXIBILITY IN THE BILL
RESULTING FROM CLARIFICATION
FROM MEMBER WEBBER'S OFFICE
ABOUT WHICH COURSES SATISFY THE
REQUIREMENT AND THE AMENDMENT
THAT ESTABLISHES A MINIMUM THREE
UNIT REQUIREMENTS.
WE ALSO ARE VERY MUCH AWARE OF
THE HISTORY OF RACIALIZATION OF
THE PRINCIPLES OF ACADEMIC
FREEDOM AND FACULTY CONTROL OF
THE CURRICULUM.
AS MUCH AS WE APPRECIATE THESE
DEVELOPMENTS WE REMAIN OPPOSED
TO THE BILL.
THE USE OF GOVERNMENT POWER TO
MANDATE CURRICULUM IS QUITE
FRANKLY CHILLING NO MATTER HOW
WORTHY THE GOAL.
IF AB SIXTY FOURTEEN SIXTY
BECOMES LAW IT WOULD SET A
PRECEDENT FOR FUTURE CURRICULAR
MANDATES TO BE IMPOSED BY THE
LEGISLATURE.
SO WE URGE YOU TO SERIOUSLY
CONSIDER THE LONG TERM
IMPLICATIONS OF THE VOTE YOU ARE
ABOUT TO TAKE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
THANK YOU NEXT WITNESS.
GOOD MORNING I'M LAUREN
BLANCHARD I SERVE AS EXECUTIVE
VICE CHANCELLOR FOR ACADEMIC AND
STUDENT AFFAIRS FOR THE
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE.

CONCERNS REST NOT WITH THE VALUE
DERIVED IN BRINGING GREATER
AWARENESS AND UNDERSTANDING OF
THE HISTORICAL AND CONTEMPORARY
EXPERIENCES.
OF ETHNIC GROUPS IN OUR IN OUR
COUNTRY WE FULLY UNDERSTAND THE
ETHNIC AND RACIAL TENSIONS AND
INTOLERANCE THAT HAVE BEEN AND
EVEN TODAY ARE STILL TOO
PERVASIVE.
IN AMERICAN SOCIETIES WE ALSO
UNDERSTAND THAT THE CALIFORNIA
STATE UNIVERSITY IS THE
BIRTHPLACE OF ETHNIC STUDIES
FIRST ESTABLISHED AT SAN
FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY IN.
NINETEEN SIXTY NINE AND AS A
RESULT OF THE ETHNIC STUDIES
TASK FORCE RECOMMENDATION A TASK
FORCE THAT WAS COMMISSIONED BY
CHANCE WERE WHITE. FOR YEARS TO
GROW AGO WE HAVE NOW SEEN FIRST
A 9% INCREASE IN ENROLLMENT IN
ETHNIC STUDIES COURSES.
THE ISSUE IS HIRED OVER SEVENTY
SEVENTY TWO FACULTY MEMBERS
STUDENT TENURE TRACK IN ETHNIC
STUDIES.
AND WE NOW HAVE 47% OF OUR CSU
GRADUATES COMPLETING AND ETHNIC
STUDIES COURSE IN ONE OF THE
FOUR COURSE AREAS PRESCRIBED IN
THE BILL.
LASTLY THE CSU CHANCELLOR WHITE
HAS MADE PROGRESS.
IN MAKING SURE THAT THE ETHNIC
STUDIES TASK FORCE
RECOMMENDATIONS ARE BEING FOR
FIELD AND HAS MADE A PART OF HIS
ANNUAL EVALUATION PROCESS WITH
THE PRESIDENT'S.
THE ISSUE IS THE MOST ETHNICALLY
ECONOMICALLY AND ACADEMICALLY
DIVERSE STUDENT BODY IN THE
UNITED STATES.
PART OF THE C. ISSUES MISSION IS
TO PREPARE STUDENTS TO LIVE AND
TO WORK IN A CULTURALLY DIVERSE
SOCIETY.
AND THIS MISSION IS TAKEN VERY
SERIOUSLY BY THE CSU WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT ETHNIC STUDIES COURSES
AND PROGRAMS IN THE CSU.
HOWEVER AS WAS JUST MENTIONED BY
DOCTOR NELSON THIS BILL WOULD
REPRESENT AN UNPRECEDENTED
LEGISLATIVELY DICTATED
CURRICULAR REQUIREMENT.
THE CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE HAS
NEVER IMPOSED COURSE
REQUIREMENTS FOR CALIFORNIA
STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS BEFORE.
THE BILL UNDERMINES THE PROCESS
OF SHARED GOVERNANCE AND
ACADEMIC FREEDOM SUCH A MANDATE
WILL SET THE DANGEROUS PRECEDENT
OF ALLOWING GOVERNMENTS TO
DETERMINE CURRICULAR AND
THREATENS THE ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
INHERENT IN COLLEGIATE EDUCATION
CSU FACULTY ARE HIRED FOR THEIR
DISCIPLINARY EXPERTISE.
THEY SHOULD BE RELIED ON TO
DEVELOP CURRICULAR THAT ARE
RESPONSIVE TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES
YOU'RE OUT OF TIME SO IF YOU CAN
WRAP IT UP PLEASE.
SECONDLY THIS BILL RUNS CONTRARY
TO THE WORK OF THE CSU WELL AS
POINT LARGELY DRIVEN BY THE
FACULTY TO FOCUS MORE ON
INCLUSIVE EXCELLENCE.
AND IMPLEMENT STRATEGIES THERE
WITHIN TO ADDRESS ACT EQUITY IN
OPPORTUNITY GAPS OF ALL EFFORT
UNDER REPRESENTED STUDENTS ARE
ARE DISENFRANCHISED STUDENTS
THAT WE SERVE.
SO UNLIKE THE RESTRICTIVE
LANGUAGE OF LANGUAGE IN A. B.
FOURTEEN SIXTY WHICH LIMITS US
TO FOUR DISCIPLINES OUR CAMPUS
IS REALLY HAVE INCLUDED A MORE
INCLUSIVE RANGE OF PERSPECTIVES.
INCLUDING WOMEN'S STUDIES GENDER
STUDIES RELIGIOUS STUDIES LGBT
Q. STUDIES WHICH THIS BILL WOULD
THEN ISOLATE THOSE PARTICULAR
COURSE.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER MET ANY
OTHER -- OPPOSITION TO THE BILL

THE AUTHOR -- I AM.
VERY PROUD OF YOU.
VERY PROUD OF AS A WOMAN OF
COLOR THAT YOU ARE MOVING THIS
FORWARD AND THAT YOU WON'T GIVE
UP ON IT.
I AM VERY EMBARRASSED.
THAT FORTY FIVE YEARS AGO WHEN I
WAS IN COLLEGE.
THAT I'M HEARING SIMILAR
EXPLANATION SIMILAR EXCUSES. FOR
NOT DOING WHAT THE EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM OF THE STATE AND THIS
NATION SHOULD HAVE DONE.
WORDS LIKE HOWEVER NOT NOW I'LL
NEVER BEFORE -- THREATENS
ACADEMIC FREEDOM SHOULD DO THIS
SHOULD DO THAT. FORTY FIVE YEARS
AFTER I WAS IN COLLEGE.
WHAT IN THE BAREST MOMENT?
WHAT AN EMBARRASSMENT?
I EXPECT A WHOLE LOT MORE FROM
OUR EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM IN THIS
STATE.
AND TO THINK THAT WE ARE STILL.
AT OUR AGE STILL FIGHTING FOR
THE RECOGNITION OF STUDIES THAT
SHOULDN'T BE SEEN AS SOMETHING
THAT SEGREGATED AWAY FROM THE
REST OF OUR EDUCATION.
BUT SHOULD BE SEEN AS SOMETHING
SO INTEGRAL FILL HEALTHY FOR
EVERYBODY -- I'M I'M JUST
[inaudible]
SO SHOCKED.
OF I NEVER THOUGHT THAT AT THIS
POINT IN MY LIFE.
THAT THIS WOULD EVEN BE A
CONVERSATION OR A DEBATE -- AND
THERE ARE LOTS OF EXCUSES THAT
ARE DRUMMED UP. TO KEEP OUT OUR
PART OF HISTORY OUR PART OF WHAT.
ALL PEOPLE DO ANNA -- AT I JUST
THE IT'S QUITE.
A SURPRISE TO ME SO.
I AM A STRONG SUPPORTER -- AND I
GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR
CONTINUED LEADERSHIP AND I WOULD
EXPECT.
NOTHING LESS THAN.
THIS FOR ALL.
THE YOUTH ALL THE STUDENTS WHO
ATTEND OUR HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS THANK YOU AND I
WILL BE PROUD TO MOVE THE BILL.
THANK YOU CENTER DORADO CENTER
GLAZER -- THANK YOU.
A DOCTOR WEBER YOU ARE TRULY A
TRAILBLAZER IN THIS AREA -- AT
YOUR LEADERSHIP AND AT EIGHT
EIGHT I'M A OBSERVER DID BEGAN
AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR
PROFESSIONAL LIFE BECAUSE YOU
HAVEN'T REALLY DEVIATED FROM
THAT ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU
HAVE DONE AND AND LET ON AND
TAUGHT.
AND OF COURSE I WE SHARE SOME
HISTORY TOGETHER I WENT TO SAN
DIEGO STATE AND I A IT WASN'T A
REQUIREMENT THAT AND THAT I TOK
AT AN ATTIC STUDIES COURSE IN
MEXICAN AMERICAN STUDIES -- I
BRIEFLY ENROLLED IN -- DOCTOR
KARENGA ITS COURSE -- UNTIL MY
WORKLOAD GOT SO GREAT THAT I
COULDN'T CONTINUE BUT AND I TOOK
WITHIN STUDIES AND I THESE ROLE
CHOICES THAT I GOT TO MAKE AND I
WAS VERY MUCH IN RICH BY IT.
NO DOUBT ABOUT IT -- AND I AS
YOU I DON'T KNOW IF YOU WERE
HERE DURING THE EARLIER
CONVERSATION ON ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MEDINA IS BILL HEARD ON
TELEVISION VERY GOOD THEN YOU
KNOW MY SENTIMENTS ABOUT HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS THAT.
THAT WE TEACH.
OUR ALL OF OUR CITIZENS ABOUT
EACH OTHER AND OUR BACKGROUNDS
IN OUR CULTURE.
THAT THAT REALLY IS SO IMPORTANT
TO OUR COHESION AS A AS A AS A
WORLD AND THERE'S NO DOUBT NO
DOUBT ABOUT THAT.
THE ISSUE I HAVE WITH YOUR BILL
AS I HAD WITH HIS IS THIS ISSUE
OF A MANDATE.
ADDED THE REQUIREMENT THAT WE
SHOULD GET IN THE WAY OF THOUGHT.
I'D IN THE CASE OF THE MEDINA
BILL THE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND
THE SCHOOL BOARDS IN THE CASE OF
YOUR BILL.
THE ACADEMIC SENATE'S ON THE
CAMPUSES AND IN MANDATING A
SPECIFIC ACTIVITY EVEN IF IT'S
ONE I THINK I VERY WORTHY.
OF STUDY -- AND ENGAGEMENT.
NOW ACCORDING TO THE ANALYSIS
THE THE CHANCELLOR ISSUED AN
EXECUTIVE ORDER IN TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN IT DIDN'T MANDATE --
THE COURSE REQUIREMENT BUT AT
SUGGESTED.
AND SO I GUESS I'M INTERESTED IN
HEARING.
WHERE WHERE IS IT THAT I BECAUSE
I'M TRYING TO ESTABLISH THIS
HIGH BAR THAT WE NEED TO STEP IN --
CAN YOU SPEAK TO THE WORK THAT
THE ACADEMIC SENATE'S OF DINO
THEY'VE NOT EVEN CONSIDER THIS
ISSUE HAVE THEY TURNED IT DOWN.
HAD THERE NOT BEEN A CAMPUSES
THAT HAVE ADOPTED THIS IS A PART
OF THEIR CAMPUS CHOICE COULD YOU
CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT ISSUE.
WHAT I THINK -- YOU KNOW IF YOU
LOOK AT IT IN TERMS OF THAT
RECOMMENDATION AND THAT'S NOT
THE FIRST TIME IT'S EVER BEEN
RECOMMENDED IT'S BEEN
RECOMMENDED BEFORE.
FROM VARIOUS OTHER AREAS IN
TERMS OF ALL PERSONS CONCERNED
AND LEADERSHIP AREAS -- IT HAS
NOT BEEN TAKEN UP AS A STATEWIDE
INITIATIVE -- THE
RECOMMENDATIONS BEEN THERE BUT
THERE IS NO PLAN IN PLACE THAT I
KNOW OF WHERE THEY HAVE
SYSTEMATICALLY DECIDED HOW THEY
WOULD ROLL THIS OUT OVER THE
OVER THAN A NUMBER OF YEARS.
SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS THERE
BUT IT IS NOT BEEN TAKEN UP TO
BASICALLY BE IMPLEMENTED.
THOSE DEPARTMENTS WHO HAVE --
AND I'M SEVERAL DEPARTMENTS HAVE
CONTACTED US WHO HAVE TAKEN THAT
INITIATIVE AND HAVE TRIED TO
PUSH IT A LITTLE BIT MORE ON
THEIR CAMPUSES HAVE MET
RESISTANCE OF COURSE -- A FEW
HAVE BEEN ABLE -- TO WHO ALREADY
HAVE IN PLACE A STRUCTURE THAT
ALLOWS IT TO HAPPEN TO HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT --
BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN COME A MAJOR
ISSUE STATEWIDE THAT WE CAN
EMBRACE AND SAY OKAY THEY'VE
TAKEN THE RECOMMENDATION IN A
MOVING FORWARD WITH IT -- IT'S
NOT THE YEAR AND SO -- SO YOU
DON'T HAVE A PLAN THAT'S BEING
LAID OUT BY THE THE ACADEMIC
SENATE -- TO IMPLEMENT THIS
PARTICULAR PROPOSAL.
SO I I KNOW YOU'RE SPEAKING
ABOUT THE STATE WIDE I THINK
YOU'RE SPEAKING ABOUT THE
STATEWIDE ACADEMIC.
BUT I'M REALLY INTERESTED IN THE
CAMPUS BY CAMPUS CHOICE SO OTHER
WORDS.
I HEAR THAT ALREADY WHO'VE
ALWAYS DONE THAT WHO'S ALWAYS
HAD ETHNIC STUDIES OR I SHOULD
SAY A MULTI CULTURAL STUDIES
COMPONENT WHICH IS DIFFERENT
THAN AN ETHNIC STUDIES COMPONENT.
ALL AND AND IT SAID IT WILL
STATE WE HAD A MULTI CULTURAL
REQUIREMENT THAT WAS THE ACOSTA
CULTURE WHATEVER IT WAS.
AND IT COULD BE SATISFIED IN A
MULTITUDE OF WAYS THAT WOULD
NEVER CAUSE THEM TO EVER ADDRESS
THE ISSUES OF PEOPLE OF COLOR IN
CALIFORNIA -- WE COULD YOU COULD
TAKE IT BY STUDYING SOUTHERN
EUROPEANS OR WHATEVER YOU WANTED
THAT THAT HAVE SOME DIVERSITY
COMPONENT BUT ABILITY TO
ACTUALLY DEAL WITH THE ISSUES OF
OF RACE AND AND AND AND
ETHNICITY IN CALIFORNIA IN THE
UNITED STATES AND THE ISSUE THAT
IT.
IMPACTS THEIR LIVES DALY OF THAT
WAS NOT YOU COULD GET A WAY YOU
COULD GET OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY
WITHOUT EVER TECH TAKING THAT
SUBJECT MATTER.
AND AND THAT IS ONE OF THE
CONCERNS THAT IF WE'RE GOING TO
REALLY ADDRESS THE ISSUES THAT
WE FACE EVERY DAY.
THAT WE SEE EVERYDAY IN OUR
CLASSROOMS AND ARE IN IN THE
PLACES WHERE WE LIVE YOU HAVE TO
BEGIN TO BASICALLY CRACKED OPEN
THAT IT CAN BEGIN TO ENGAGE IN
THAT CONVERSATION.
AND NOT NOT DIVERT YOUR INTEREST
IN OTHER AREAS AND SAY ALWAYS
SATISFIED BECAUSE WE TOOK A
COURSE IN.
SOME SOME OTHER COUNTRY
SOMEWHERE ELSE WITHOUT ACTUALLY
TOUCHING THE CALIPHATE THE
YELLOW CALIFORNIA OR THE OR THE
USE UNITED STATES ISSUES.
RIGHT BUT MY QUESTION REALLY IS
TRYING TO ADDRESS.
I THE COMPELLING NEED FOR US TO
ACT AS A LEGISLATURE WE CAN
BECAUSE WE WE JUST MADE TO MEET
THEM IS FINISHED -- BECAUSE OF
AN ABSENCE OF ACTIONS ON THE
CAMPUS IS TO SHOW THAT
SENSITIVITY AND IN SOME CASES TO
ADOPT THAT AS A REQUIREMENT IN
GENERAL EDUCATION.
AND THAT FOR ME AT LEAST IT'S
LIKE WE'VE TWENTY THREE CAMPUSES
WE HAVE SHARED GOVERNANCE ON
EACH WITH ACADEMIC SENATE'S ON
EACH.
AND SO FOR ME TO TRY TO GET TO
THIS HIGHER BAR -- AND PRATT
PRECEDENT SETTING BAR.
I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND --
WHETHER IT SINCE THE TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN EXECUTIVE
ORDER BY THE CHANCELLOR HAVE WE
HAD CAMPUS IS THAT HAVE DONE
NOTHING AND ACTUALLY REFUSED TO
ACT AND SAID THAT IT'S ON THE
RECORD THEY HAD TO DELIVER TO
PROCESS THEY SAID NO WE AT
CAMPUSES THAT HAVE SAID YES.
AND WATER EVERYBODY IN BETWEEN I
WAS I'VE I'M LOOKING FOR SOME
FACTUAL BASIS TO UNDERSTAND THE
NEED TO ACT TODAY.
FACT THAT YOU HAVE FIFTY YEARS
OF ETHNIC STUDIES.
AND AND THAT FIFTY YEARS IS NOT
FIFTY YEARS OF IDLE ACTIVITY.
YOU KNOW HAVING BEEN A CHAIR OF
ETHNIC STUDIES FOR ALMOST FORTY
YEARS THIRTY OF THE FORTY YEARS
I WAS THERE -- THERE IS
PERSISTENT AND CONSISTENT
DISCUSSIONS OF ETHNIC STUDIES ON
THOSE CAMPUSES AND INCLUSION OF
THOSE COURSES IN THE REGULAR
COULD NOT ONLY JUST IN THE
REGULAR CURRICULUM THE CONTENT.
BUT ALSO THE REQUIREMENTS TO
HAVE STUDENTS TAKE THOSE CLASSES
THAT IS A CONSTANTLY THAT IS
THERE ON ALL THE CAMPUS AND IT
ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
AND AFTER FIFTY YEARS OF THAT
WHEN I CAME TO THE LEGISLATURE
AUTHORED THE FIRST PIECE OF
LEGISLATION THAT WAS A A
RESOLUTION CONCERNING ETHNIC
STUDIES.
AND OUT OF THAT RESOLUTION WE
HAD A HEARING APPEAR OUT OF THE
RESOLUTION THE CHANCELLOR THE
AND WHO CAME IN WHITE CAME IN
AND THE BLACK CAUCUS AND SOME
OTHER CAUCUSES MET WITH HIM AND
SAYS THIS IS A A AN ISSUE THAT
WE HAVE THE NEEDS TO BE
ADDRESSED.
SO OUT OF ALL OF THAT THEN YOU
GET THIS COMMISSION THIS SERVICE
FOR A COUPLE YEARS THAT'S
PRESIDENT'S IN FACULTY MEMBERS
AND YOU NAME IT ALL THE
COLLABORATIONS IS THERE.
AND IT COMES OUT WITH A
RECOMMENDATION TO SAY AS ONE OF
THE NUMBER ONE RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A THREE
UNIT REQUIREMENT OF ETHNIC
STUDIES THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM.
NOW THIS IS AS A RESULT THIS IS
WHAT I'M THIS IS MY SEVENTH YEAR
HERE.
SO THIS IS A RESULT OF SEVEN
YEARS OF DISCUSSION AN ONGOING
AND WE STILL DON'T HAVE THAT WE
HAVE CONTINUING CONVERSATION
ABOUT WHAT SOME DEPARTMENTS HAVE
DONE.
HOW THEY'VE TAKEN SOME HAVE DONE
THAT BUT THEY'VE BEEN DOING THEY
HAD BEEN DOING THAT ALL ALONG SO
YOU DON'T HAVE THE INTRODUCTION
OF THIS NEW -- A STATEWIDE
MOVEMENT SO.
THE ISSUE IS YES THE URGENCY IS
THERE. TO THE EXTENT THAT HOW
LONG AND AND HOPEFULLY AS KINGS
IS NOT LONG.
HOW LONG DO YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR
THIS TO HAPPEN IS FIFTY YEARS
ENOUGH?
OF IT OR DO WE KNOW ENOUGH
INFORMATION ABOUT ETHNIC STUDIES
TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE YOU KNOW
ALL WE THE PEOPLE IN THIS
GENERATION DETERMINED TO MAKE
THIS HAPPEN.
IS THIS LEGISLATURE DIVERSE
ENOUGH TO BEGIN TO SEE THE
NECESSITY OF IT -- AND I AND I
SAY THIS BECAUSE THIS IS MY
BATTLE FOR FIFTY YEARS I BECAME
THE UNIVERSITY IN NINETEEN
SEVENTY TWO TO DEVELOP ETHNIC
STUDIES A CYNICAL STATE.
SO I'VE BEEN IN THIS A LONG TIME
I'VE HEARD ALL OF THESE.
CONVERSATIONS I HAVE BEEN A PART
OF THE ACADEMIC SENATE FOR SIXTY
YEARS OUR SERVICE AQABA SENATE I
SERVICE CHAIR OF THE CAMPUS
CURRICULUM COMMITTEE FOR THE
SENATE FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
I KNOW ALL THE DIFFICULTY AND
THE AND THE RESISTANCE THAT
SEVERE I'VE BEEN IN THE IVORY
TOWER AND TRY TO PAINT MULTIPLE
COLORS AND IT HAS NOT WORKED.
SO ALL I'M SAYING IS THAT.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED TO KNOW?
WELL ENDING IN A SITUATION WHERE
YOU YOU OF THE BIRTH PLACE OF
ETHNIC STUDIES FOR FIFTY YEARS.
I MEAN WHAT ELSE DO WE NEED TO
KNOW TELL ME AND AND TELL ME HOW
YOU WOULD DO IT I AND I KNOW I'M
NOT POLLS BECAUSE THEN YOU BUT
THAT'S OKAY I'M SORRY.
BUT IT IT BEFORE BEFORE YOU
RESPOND CENTER GLAZER IF I COULD
JUST ASK THE AUDIENCE WHEN YOU
LIKE SOMETHING WE GO LIKE THIS
IF YOU DON'T LIKE SOMETHING WE
JUST STAY SILENT.
SO I I LOVE YOUR PASSION AND I I
AND I LOVE YOUR HISTORY AND
CERTAINLY THERE'S FEW THEY CAN
SPEAK TO THAT UNDERSTANDING
HISTORY IS SOMEONE LIKE YOU --
WITH ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE.
THE THE SYSTEMS HAVE COME AT THE
SYSTEM IS COMING IN SAID THAT
SINCE THE TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN
EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT.
THERE'S BEEN A 9% INCREASE IN
THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS TAKING --
ETHNIC STUDIES AND THEY PROFESS
TO SAY AND I I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU'VE INFORMATION TO THE
COUNTRY THAT THEY'VE HIRED.
SEVENTY TWO S. ETHNIC STUDIES
TENURE TRACK FACULTY WHICH IS A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF FACULTY SO
THEY'RE READY NOT TO IMPLEMENT
THE STATE WIDE INITIATIVE SO
IT'S AN EIGHT AND I THINK THAT
IF YOU IF YOU I I DON'T KNOW IF
YOU CAN SPEAK TO THE EVIDENCE
THAT THAT THE COURSE.
CATALOG HAS BEEN SHRUNK IN TERMS
OF ETHNIC STUDIES THE MAJORS
HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED DEPARTMENTS
HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED.
ANYWAY I I'M STILL TRYING TO GET
TO THIS ISSUE OF THE COMPELLING
NEED AYE AYE DEAL IS AND IT
ISN'T IT ISN'T OUT OF A GREAT.
APPRECIATION FOR THE GOALS THAT
YOU HAVE ESTABLISHED OKAY AND
HIS LAST THING AND AND AND THAT.
IF YOU WANT TO DRESS YOU CAN BUT
LOOK.
THERE IS AN EVAN FLOW TO OUR
POLITICAL SYSTEM -- THAT -- IS
SOMETIMES COMFORTABLE DO OBSERVE --
BECAUSE WE OBVIOUSLY WOULD LIKE
IT TO BE THE WHERE IS TODAY
RIGHT.
AND IN PREVIOUS LEGISLATURE'S
THERE'VE BEEN PEOPLE IN CHARGE
THAT HAVEN'T BEEN LIKE YOU ARE
LIKE ME -- AND THEY DON'T HAVE
TO GO TOO FAR BACK AND SO.
YET THERE IS A POTENTIAL IN THE
FUTURE EVEN THOUGH WE WOULDN'T
EXPECT OR HOPE FOR IS.
THAT THE FOLKS THAT ARE UP HERE
AT THE DAIS -- ARE GONNA BE AT
FOLKS WITH A DIFFERENT
PHILOSOPHY PHILOSOPHICAL VIEW
ABOUT OUR CAMPUSES IN ACADEMIC
FREEDOM AND THE CHOICES THAT --
MAYBE THEY WANT TO MAKE ABOUT --
MANDATES THAT THEY WANT TO
REQUIRE WE HAVE NEVER PROVIDED
THIS TYPE OF A MANDATE BEFORE IT
IS AN BY WORRY A SLIPPERY SLOPE.
IN TERMS OF WHAT WOULD COME NEXT
I'M NOT BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF
MERIT BUT BECAUSE OF WE HAVE A
PROCESS IN PLACE WE HAVE A BOARD
OF TRUSTEES WHICH IS A VERY
DIVERSE BOARD OF TRUSTEES.
WE HAVE CAMPUS LEADERSHIP WITH
GREAT DIVERSITY NOW
UNPRECEDENTED.
MORE THAN HALF OF THE UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENTS ARE WOMEN TODAY AT
THE CSU.
HAVE A LOT MORE WORK TO DO ON
DIVERSITY WITHIN OUR FACULTY AND
I KNOW THAT'S AN ONGOING
CHALLENGE.
IT WAS I WAS HEARTENING TO HEAR
EARLIER IN TESTIMONY THAT AS A
PART OF THE PRESIDENTIAL REVIEW
THAT THIS ISSUE IS A PART OF
THOSE STANDARDS AND I KNOW I
SAID AS A TRUSTEE DURING THOSE
REVIEWS.
AND THOSE THINGS ARE TAKEN VERY
SERIOUSLY IN TERMS OF THE
LEADERSHIP OF THE CAMPUS.
IN THESE TYPES OF AREAS.
AND SO I JUST WANT TO INSURE
THAT THAT OBSERVATION THAT AS
MUCH AS THESE ARE THINGS WE
WOULD LIKE TO HAVE I CERTAINLY
WOULD LIKE TO SEE IT.
TOO THERE IS A VERY SLIPPERY
SLOPE WE GET ON WITH THESE TYPES
OF MANDATES AND AGAIN THAT'S NOT
OUT OF ANY COULD.
LIMIT OF THE REST OF THE
ENORMOUS RESPECT I HAVE FOR YOU
AND YOUR LEADERSHIP AND I THANK
YOU FOR INDULGING ME.
YOU KNOW ONE OF THE WELL KNOWN A
FEW MINUTES FUND TO THAT OR NOT.
WHAT WE'VE GOT OTHER QUESTIONS
IF YOU DON'T MIND ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THANK CENTER GLAZER
SENATOR PAM?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND SYSTEM
OR A WITH FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU --
FOR WE'VE HAD A CHANCE TO TALK
TO AND APPRECIATE APPRECIATE
YOUR THANK YOU FOR TIME.
AND YOUR LEADERSHIP -- YEAH I DO
AGREE WITH MY GOOD FRIEND US AND
RAZA THAT -- IT DID IS IT NOW
THE SHOULD BE SOMETHING IDEALLY.
A INTO A NOTED WE ARE NOWHERE
NEAR THE IDEAL -- THAT.
THAT IT MEETS INTEGRATED
TOGETHER THE FACT THAT IT'S NOT
MEANS THAT'S WHY WE NEED TO HAVE
I THINK STUDIES -- SO I GUESS
THE QUESTION I HAVE AND I WON AT
FIRST BECAUSE IT TO SEE ISSUE
AND THEN S. A ONE THE SPONSORS
THE RATS ALSO RESPOND.
SO WHAT I SEE IS IS THAT YOU
KNOW EVEN TASK FORCE IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN UNDERSTANDS ON THE ONLY
TASK FORCE IT COMES OUT WITH THE
RECOMMENDATION AND THAT WAS.
THREE YEARS AGO.
AND ONE THE RECOMMENDATIONS IS
THAT -- WE SHOULD DO WITH THIS
BILL CALLS FOR RIGHT AND I AND I
ADMIT THAT I HAVE -- THAT
TREMENDOUS.
RELUCTANCE TO SOMEONE WHO IS A
YOU KNOW PROFESSOR THE OTHER
INSTITUTION UC.
ODD TO HAVE CURRICULA DICTATED
BY.
THE LEGISLATURE OUTSIDE BODIES I
MEAN THE YOUNG FACULTY HAVE TO
DO A LOT OF WORK TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW WE EDUCATE.
BUT IT IS SO I GUESS THE
QUESTION I HAVE FOR YOU IS YOU
FIRST OF ALL IT IS IS THAT.
SO THE REPORT DID RECOMMEND THIS
SO.
WHAT HAS IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS
SO WHAT HAS THE ACADEMIC SENATE
DONE?
HAS IT -- AND AND WHAT I MEAN
WHAT HAS THE ACADEMIC SENATE
DONE IS IS THAT IN THE PAST
THREE YEARS YOU SHOULD HAVE PUT
IT UP FOR DISCUSSION AND ABOUT --
AND EITHR YOU'RE TELLING ME YES
WE AGREE.
OUR NO WE DON'T AGREE NOT
WHETHER BY THAT SO WE'RE ARGUE
ABOUT THE BILL BECAUSE AGAIN AND
YOU MAKE THE POINT AND I
ACTUALLY DO.
HAVE IT'S YOUR YOUR CONCERNS
THAT.
WE IS THE LEGISLATURE SHOULD NOT
YOU KNOW THAT WE SHOULD BUT THE
FACULTY TAKE THE LEAD BUT NOW
THE QUESTION I HAVE IS IS THAT
SO HAVE THE FACULTY TAKEN THE
LEAD.
LIKE YOU KNOW IT'S BEEN THREE
YEARS WHAT HAVE YOU DONE.
HAVE YOU ACTUALLY DEBATE THIS
ISSUE CAN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU
VOTED IT DOWN THAT'S WHY IT'S
NOT HAPPENED HAS RESULTED WHY
ARE YOU PUTTING US IN THIS
POSITION OF HAVING TO DEBATE
THIS SO -- SO I THAT THAT'S
THAT'S IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS
SINCE THIS EPORT AND THE
RECOMMENDATION CAME OUT SO.
I WANT TO KNOW FROM THE FACULTY
SENATE AND ALSO ONE NO FOR THE
CANCER WHAT IS HE WHAT HAS A
CHANCE ARE DONE. TO ENACT THIS
PARTICULAR RECOGNIZING ITS YOUR
GOVERNANCE SO THAT'S WHY BOTH OF
YOU I'M ASKING BOTH OF YOU TO
ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION AND I
APPRECIATE THE MOTIVATION BEHIND
IT BELIEVE ME -- AT THE TIME THE
REPORT CAME OUT ONE OF THE
THINGS THAT.
PART OF THE DYNAMIC OF THE STATE
WHAT ACADEMIC SENATE IS A
DIFFERENCE TO CAMPUS AUTONOMY.
WHEN IT COMES TO CURRICULAR
DECISIONS SO I GUESS MY AND AND
THE SO THE ANSWER IS NO WE DID
NOT TAKE UP THE REQUIREMENTS?
AND I THINK THAT THE I THINK I
SO HAVE YOU CALLED ON EACH OF
THE CAMPUS IS AS YOU SAID YOU
DEFERRED THE CAMPUSES.
THAT EACH CAMPUS SHOULD HAVE
ALREADY HAD A VOTE ON IN THE
PAST THREE YEARS.
AND WE HAVE CALLED ON CAMPUSES
TO SERIOUSLY CONSIDER THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE ETHICS
REYES AND AND AND AND I DIDN'T.
IF YOU IF YOU LET ME FINISH ARE
WE HAVE NOT SPECIFICALLY SAID
TAKE OF THIS REQUIREMENT.
SO HAS IT SO HAS IT BEEN A CHEN
DIES AND EVERY CAMPUS FACULTY
SENATE TO HAVE A DISCUSSION
ABOUT THIS REPORT AND THE
RECOMMENDATIONS INCLUDING THIS
RECOMMENDATION THAT I DO NOT
HAVE AN ANSWER.
TO OKAY WHEN CAN YOU GIVE ME THE
ANSWER THAT.
UGH I CAN GET TRY TO GET IT TOO
SOON AS POSSIBLE.
OKAY SO IT'S IT'S THE SUMMER SO
I CAN GET NOW OKAY SO TO LAST
ANOTHER QUESTION AND THEN I WANT
TO HEAR FROM THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE.
IF IT HASN'T.
IS THERE A COMMITMENT ON PAR THE
FACULTY SENATE TO TAKE IT UP
BETWEEN BEFORE THE END OF THE
YEAR THAT EVERY CAMPUS SHOULD
HAVE AT LEAST HAS DISCUSSION AND
MADE A PUBLIC DECISION ON WHAT
TO DO WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION.
THAT IS PRETTY MUCH THE
EMBODIMENT OF THE RESOLUTION
WHICH PASSED IN MAY SETTING UP A
SHARED GOVERNANCE -- MET IS THE
ANSWER YES YES OKAY SO BY BEFORE
THE END OF THIS YEAR EVERY
CAMPUS FACULTY SENATE.
WOULD HAVE CONSIDERED AND TAKEN
A POSITION ON THIS ON THE
RECOMMENDATIONS REPORT INCLUDING
SPECIFICALLY THE RECOMMENDATION
FOR REQUIRING ETHNIC STUDIES FOR
GRADUATION IN THE CAMPUS. TWO
QUESTIONS ONE ARE WE TALKING
ABOUT THE TWENTY NINETEEN TWENTY
TWENTY SCHOOL YEAR.
ACADEMIC YEAR I AM TALKING ABOUT
BEFORE THE END OF THIS CALENDAR
YEAR CALENDAR YEAR I KNOW
THERE'S THIS ACADEMIC YEAR BUT
ACADEMIC SENATE CAN MAKE
DECISIONS WITHOUT WAITING FOR AN
END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR THEY CAN
DO IT.
DEAL WE HAVE SIX MONTHS.
I CANNOT IT'S AND IT'S NOT TO
LIFE ITS NAME IN JULY FIRST YET
I CAN GIVE YOU COMMITMENT THAT
THE STATE WHAT ECONOMIC SENATE
WILL TAKE THIS ISSUE UP I CANNOT
GIVE YOU A COMMITMENT THAT EVERY
INDIVIDUAL CAMPUS SENATE.
WILL TAKE THIS UP AND AND WILL
HAVE TAKEN A POSITION ON IT
BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE THE
AUTHORITY TO DO THAT IN THE
STATE WHAT SENATE DOES NOT HAVE
THE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT.
OKAY AND IS THAT SOMETHING OKAY
FOR THOSE THAT THERE WAS A
CHANCE ARE DONE IS THAT
SOMETHING THE CHANCEL CALL.
FOR SO WE WE DO HAVE INFORMATION
THAT LAYS OUT EXACTLY HOW EACH
CAMPUS HAS BEEN AND HAS NOT BEEN
RESPONSIVE TO EACH AND AND I
KNOW THE QUESTION I ASKED IS
THAT TAKING UP THIS VERY ISSUE
OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
REPORT AND HAVING THE SENATE
SIDE LIKE TO DEFER. TO THE
SENATE BUT THE SENSE NOT
ACTUALLY GOING TO ACT ON IT AND
EVEN DEBATE AT THE END THAT'S
CONCERNING TO ME.
AND IT'S BEEN THREE YEARS SINCE
A REPORT CAME OUT.
THE THE BASIS OF MY STATEMENT IS
SAYING THAT WE ALREADY HAVE SOME
INFORMATION THAT WE CAN SHARE
WITH YOU RELATIVE TO THOSE
CAMPUSES THAT HAVE TAKEN IT UP.
AND SO WHAT WE WILL NEED TO DO
IS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE A
COMPREHENSIVE BASE OF
INFORMATION THAT SAYS WHICH
CAMPUSES HAVE AND WHICH HAVE NOT.
TAKEN OF THIS PARTICULAR ITEM
AND THAT IF YOU'RE ASKING THAT
WE CAN PROVIDE INFORMATION THERE
AND WHICH HAVE AND WHICH HAVE
NOT WE CAN CERTAINLY HAVE THAT
BY THE END OF THE CALENDAR RIGHT
IN IT NO NO ADD INFORMATION IS
GREAT.
A BUT WHAT I WANNA KNOW ALL YOU
HEAR ABOUT'S LEADERSHIP.
SO WILL THE CHANCELLOR SO I JUST
HEARD YOU KNOW THE THE STATEWIDE
SENATE WILL TAKE SOMETHING UP
BUT SAYS HE DOESN'T HAVE THE
AUTHORITY TO ALTHOUGH I HOPE THE
STATEWIDE SENATE WOULD CALL IN
EACH OF THE CAMPUS'S TO DO THIS --
I WOULD ALSO HOPE THE CHANCELLOR
WOULD COMMIT TO CALLING ON EACH
FACULTY SENATE EACH CAMPUS. TO
TAKE UP TO DISCUSS AND MAKE A
DECISION WHETHER THEY SUPPORT OR
OPPOSE.
LET'S PUT HIM ON THE RECORD.
THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THIS
REPORT THAT CAME OUT THREE YEARS
AGO THAT WAS DONE I UNDERSTAND
IT THE CHANCES BEHEST RIGHT.
AND AND AND AND SO THAT WE I'D
LIKE TO HEAR BACK FROM THE
FACULTY SENATE.
ARE DO THEY AGREE WITH THE IDEA
OF FOOT THIS GOAL OF THIS BILL
COST FOR AS WELL AS THE REST THE
REPORT ARE WE GOING TO HIT YOU
KNOW RECOMMEND -- ETHNIC STUDIES
IS THERE A GRADUATION CLIMATE AS
RECOMMENDED BY THIS TASK FORCE
SO IT BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WHAT
HAPPENS IS THAT IF THE SAYS THAT
THEY DON'T ACT.
YOU'RE PUTTING US IN A BAD
POSITION BECAUSE I AGREE WITH
YOU I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO TELL
THE FACT THE SENATE WHAT TO DO
BUT THE FACT WE SENATE'S NOT
EVEN GOING TO ACT THAT PUTS US
IN A VERY AWKWARD POSITION WE'VE
HEARD A LOT OF POWERFUL
TESTIMONY ABOUT.
HOW IMPORTANT ETHNIC STUDIES IS
A VALUABLE IS NOT ONLY FROM THE
PROPONENTS BUT FROM YOURSELVES
AND SO I THINK THIS WOULD BE A
MATTER OF -- TOP IMPORTANCE
GIVEN THE IMPACT OF ETHNIC
STUDIES TO THE FACULTY SENATE.
AND CHANCELLOR BY THE WAY SO
WHERE'S THE CHANCELLOR ON THIS.
WELL THE THE THE CHANCELLOR HAS
BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE IN TERMS OF
IN TERMS OF MAKING SURE THAT THE
CAMPUSES.
UNDERSTAND THEIR RESEARCH.
I I'D LIKE TO SEE A LITTLE MORE
LEADERSHIP IN THAT REGARD WEBER
CALLING ON THE FACULTY SENATE TO
IT EITHER TO EACH OF THE
ACTUALLY SENATE'S AND THE
PRESIDENTS OF EACH.
TO BE SURE THAT THEY ACTUALLY
TAKE THIS UP THE GEN DIS TO HAVE
A DISCUSSION TO MAKE A DECISION
BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
SO THAT HOPEFULLY THE SYSTEM
COULD MOVE FORWARD I MEAN IF IF
EVERYTHING COMES A SAYS WELL
THESE ARE ALL THE REASONS.
WE DON'T THINK THIS IS A GOOD
IDEA OF THIS PUT THAT ON THE
RECORD AND LET'S HAVE A
DISCUSSION ABOUT THAT MAYBE
THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO TO
MELIORATE THOSE ISSUES BUT WE
CERTAINLY HEARD A LOT OF
POWERFUL TESTIMONY NAY HER TO
YOU DON'T DISAGREE WITH THAT.
ABOUT THE VALUE OF ETHNIC
STUDIES AND SO I'D LIKE THE
FACULTY TO TAKE THE LEAD.
RIGHT I'D LIKE TO FACULTY TAKE
THE LEAD INSTEAD OF US HAVING TO
DO IT.
I MEAN I AGREE WITH YOU I DEBTS
THIS IS THIS IS PROBABLY NOT A
GOOD IDEA THAT WERE TRYING YOU
KNOW THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME WE
WERE GONNA POST SO I THEM AND I
TALKED.
TO SEVERAL WEBER AND EXPRESSED
HIS CONCERNS AS WELL BUT I ALSO
SUBMIT THAT I HEAR HER
FRUSTRATION I HEAR THE
FRUSTRATION OF MANY OF THE
PEOPLE OF TESTIFIED FOR THE BILL
THAT.
WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG AND YOU
KNOW IF AND IF THERE'S A REASON
THE FACT THE SENATE OPPOSES.
LET'S UNDERSTAND THAT WHAT'S THE
REASON FOR THE OPPOSITION WHAT
IS THERE SOMETHING WE COULD DO
THE MILLER IT SO WE CAN SOLVE
THE PROBLEM.
INSTEAD OF WAITING AROUND THIS
IT WILL BE HEARD FIFTY YEARS
THIS REPORT CAME OUT THREE YEARS
AGO.
CAN CAN WE HAVE SOMETHING DONE.
SO THE THE BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING THAT THE TEN UP WE'LL GO
BACK TO THE CHANCELLOR AND MAKE
SURE THAT THE CHANCELLOR HAS A
CONVERSATION WITH EACH OF THE
PRESIDENT'S.
AS A PART OF THE EVALUATION
PROCESS THAT I JUST TALKED ABOUT.
DETERMINE WHICH ONES HAVE
ALREADY TAKEN THIS UP AS AN
ISSUE IN HALF THAT AND THEN ASKS
THE PRESIDENT'S TO ENSURE THAT
THEY'RE WORKING IN COLLABORATION
WITH THEIR SENATE'S. TO GET
ANSWERS FROM THE OTHERS AS WELL.
IS THE ANSWERS I'D LIKE THEM TO
ACTUALLY TELL IF GIVE US
FEEDBACK TELL TELL HIM WHAT
THEIR POSITION IS ON THE
RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND WHY [inaudible]
GET OUT.
I MEAN THIS IS NOT JUST ABOUT
INFORMATION IS ABOUT LEADERSHIP
RIGHT.
BUT STE CONFRONT THE ISSUE AND
DEAL WITH IT NOT JUST SAY WELL
WE COLLECT SOME DATA ABOUT AND I
APPRECIATE THERE'S MANY CAMPUSES
ACTUALLY YOU KNOW EXACT STATE I
TALKED TO THE PRESIDENT -- THERE
A DINNER STANDARD.
OLD BUT WE HAVE BEFORE US A
RECOMMENDATION WE HAVE BEFORE US
A BILL THAT BASICALLY SUPPORTS A
RECOMMENDATION THAT CAME FROM
CSU SYSTEM ITSELF.
THE TASK FOR THE CSU SYSTEM
ITSELF.
RIGHT SO IN THAT SENSE WHAT
HAPPENS IS THAT.
YEAH I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF US
IMPOSING THOSE REQUIREMENTS.
AT THE SAME TIME.
I'VE MET THAT SOME LABOR WEBER
ISN'T PULLING THIS OUT OF THIN
AIR IT'S NOT JUST SOMETHING THAT
SHE WANTS TO IMPOSE ON CSU SHE'S
BASICALLY SAYING LET'S.
LET'S DO IT A TASK FORCE TO USE
YOU ACTUALLY RECOMMENDED.
AND SO.
YOU KNOW THAT'S NOT ENTIRELY
UNREASONABLE.
ALTHOUGH AGAIN I'D HAVE CONCERNS
THAT YOU'VE EXPRESSED AND I
SHARED THAT WE SHOULDN'T BE
DICTATING BUT AT SAME TIME.
I NEED TO KNOW THAT.
CSU ITSELF THEY CREATE A TASK
FORCE THAT RECOMMENDATION IS
TAKING THAT RECOMMENDATION
SERIOUSLY.
AND IF THEY DON'T AGREE WITH
THAT THEN EXPLAIN WHY NOT AND
THEY AGREE WITH IT DO IT.
THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT HEARING I'M
HEARING YOU KNOW WHERE SOME
PEOPLE THAT'S CETERA BUT THIS IT
IS A SYSTEM WIDE RECOMMENDATION
SO THIS AND SO.
I LIKE TO SEE A SYSTEM WIDE
RESPONSE IN RECOGNIZE WHAT'S
YOUR GOVERNMENT'S NO EACH CAMPUS
HAS YOU KNOW HAS OUR OWN ISSUES
THEY HAVE TO DEAL WITH TO IN OUR
OWN CHARACTERISTICS SO.
OKAY FINE HAD LOTS OF EACH
CAMPUS BUT THIS IS A PRIORITY.
FOR AND I GUESS YOU'RE HEARING
FROM US THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR
US BUT AGAIN WE RECOGNIZE YOU
KNOW SHARED GOVERNANCE SO.
WE HOPE THAT YOU MAKE THIS A
PRIORITY AND THAT'S WHY I'M
CALLING FOR HEARD SAYING WELL
CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A DECISION
AND TELL US WHAT YOU DECIDED TO
DO.
CAMPUS BY CAMPUS RECOGNIZING
SOME OF THE INDEPENDENT CAMPUS
AS WELL AS THE SYSTEM.
BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR
BECAUSE GUESS WHAT NEXT YEAR WE
HAVE ANOTHER THE LEGISLATIVE
SESSION AND I HOPE THAT YOU
SOLVE THE PROBLEM FOR US SO WE
DON'T HAVE TO LEGISLATE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
SO BE IT.
OKAY ALL RIGHT AND THAT JUST
PLEASE DEAL.
ALL RIGHT AND ANY.
AT THE TIPS THAT YOU KNOW -- I
DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE ANY OF THE
QUESTIONS -- I'LL JUST LET ME
SAY THAT -- THIS ISSUE OBVIOUSLY
HAS BEEN CIRCULATING AROUND FOR
A NUMBER OF YEARS AND IT SHOULD
BE APPARENT TO THIS BODY.
BUT THAT BODY IS NOT GOING TO
ACT IN THE WAY THAT WE THINK
IT'S APPROPRIATE.
I MEAN -- AS I SAID YOU KNOW
I'VE BEEN AT THE UNIVERSITY FOR
FEEL LIKE FOR EVER.
AND I'VE SERVED ON ALL OF THE
COMMITTEES THAT THEY TALK ABOUT --
AND I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE OFTEN
BEEN MANDATE FROM OUTSIDE.
THAT HAVE IMPACTED THE CAMPUS.
I REMEMBER WHAT ROTC CAME SAN
DIEGO STATE.
THE FACULTY DID NOT WANT IT.
BACK THE SAME ACADEMIC SENATE
ACTUALLY VOTED AGAINST.
BUT IT WAS ADMINISTRATION AND
THE POWERS ABOVE THAT
IMPLEMENTED ROTC IT'S AN ABLE
STATE.
DESPITE ALL OF THOSE QUESTIONS
ABOUT OUR RIGHT TO CONTROL
CURRICULUM AND TO DECIDE WHAT
WE'RE GOING TO DO THERE ARE
OTHER THINGS THAT HAPPEN AT THIS
INSTITUTION.
THAT DOT THAT BASICALLY OF DO
NOT FOLLOW THIS REALLY PRISTINE
ANALYSIS OF A FACULTY ENGAGEMENT
AND SO FORTH AND SO ON AND I
GUESS THE PROBLEM IS I'VE BEEN
BEHIND THE CURTAIN AND I KNOW
WHAT'S BEHIND THE CURTAIN.
SO I'M NOT IMPRESSED WHEN PEOPLE
TELL ME ABOUT THE IVORY TOWER
TELL ME ABOUT ACADEMIC FREEDOM
DIALOGUE IS THE SENATE
COMMITTEES THE DADA DADA DOT.
I KNOW THAT'S ALL A WAY OF
SAYING IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN
WHEN YOU LOOK AT ETHNIC STUDIES
ETHNIC STUDIES CAME INTO
EXISTENCE NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE
THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD ACADEMIC
IDEA.
NOT BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT IT WAS
TIME BUT IT WAS FAIR IS BECAUSE
STUDENTS WERE BURNING BUILDINGS
AT IN THE CAMPUS I CAME TO SAN
DIEGO STATE BECAUSE A BUNCH OF
STUDENTS BURNED ALL THE TRASH
CANS OF FROM THE PRESIDENT'S
OFFICE.
HE REALIZED ALL WE GOT TO HIRE
SOME BLACK PEOPLE TO GET UP IN
HERE THE STOP THE STUFF.
AND THAT'S HOW I GOT HIRED AND
THAT'S WHAT MOST LOS GOT HIRED
SAN FRANCISCO STATE WAS A
PROTEST FOR WELL OVER A YEAR.
OKAY EVERY CAMPUS THAT YOU SEE
WAS NOT SOME LITTLE ORDERLY
PROCESS THAT OCCURRED STUDENTS
SO OFTEN WERE DISPEL FROM
CAMPUSES I HAVE FRIENDS WHO
COULD NOT FINISH THEIR DEGREE
CAL STATE LA.
AND GUIDED MAYBE TWENTY YEARS
LATER BECAUSE THEY WERE EXPELLED
FROM THE CAMPUS FOR PROTESTING
BUT ETHNIC STUDIES SO THIS IS
NOT SOMETHING THAT IS GOING TO
EASILY WALK THROUGH THE IVORY
TOWER HOLES AND BE EMBRACED IT
IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
THE A LOT OF POLITICS THAT OCCUR%
WHEN YOU HAVE WHEN YOU START
TALKING ABOUT REQUIRING A COURSE
TO BE TAUGHT YOU HAVE BEEN
CHANGING THE PERSPECTIVE NOT
ONLY OF THE PUBLIC BUT OF THE
FACULTY AS WELL.
IN TERMS OF WHAT THEY SEE IS
IMPORTANT WHAT THEY VALUE THAT'S
GOING TO CHANGE IT'S ALSO GOING
TO SOMETIMES CHANGE THE DYNAMICS
OF POWER AT AN INSTITUTION.
BECAUSE STUDENTS NOW WILL BE C.
FACULTY WILL HAVE REQUIRED TO
SEE PEOPLE WHO DON'T LOOK LIKE
THEM WE CAN GIVE THEM
INFORMATION THAT THEY DON'T HAVE.
IT ALSO CHANGES THE DYNAMICS IN
TERMS OF WHO'S FUNDED AND WHO'S
NOT FUND IT SO LET'S BE REAL
ABOUT IT THIS IS POWER
DISCUSSION THIS IS ABOUT WHO
WILL HAVE INFLUENCE.
NOT ONLY AT THE INSTITUTION BUT
WHO WILL HAVE INFLUENCE AND CAL
ONE YEAR THE IVORY TOWER SOMEHOW
ANOTHER STRONGHOLDS ITSELF INTO
THIS IMPARTIAL -- PERSPECTIVE
BUT THE REALITY IS IT IS VERY
PARTIAL IT IS VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT ECONOMICS IT IS VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT.
MAINTAINING THE STATUS QUO AND
WE CAN YOU TO PARTICIPATE IN
THAT OR WE CAN CHANGE IT.
AND SO I YOU KNOW I'M NOT
IMPRESSED AT ALL WITH THE
CONVERSATION BECAUSE I KNOW
WHAT'S GOING HAPPEN NEXT YEAR
THE YEAR AFTER YEAR AFTER IT WE
CONTINUE DOWN THIS PATH.
AT SOME POINT EVERYTHING WE'VE
EVER DONE HAS VIOLATED THE RULES
IN ORDER TO GET IT DONE BROWN
VERSUS BOARD OF EDUCATION TALKS
ABOUT THE ARE WE GOING TO
INTERVENE IN STATES WHERE THEY
HAVE STATES RIGHTS TO DETERMINE
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN IN SCHOOLS.
AND WE FINALLY SAID YES WE HAVE.
TO AND WHEN WE BEGIN TO LOOK AT
ALL THE CHANGES THAT HAVE
OCCURRED IN THIS NATION THEY
HAVE ATTAINED THEY'VE A CARD
BECAUE PEOPLE DECIDED.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH WE HAVE TO MOVE
FOR THIS IS WHAT WE BELIEVE IN
AND WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE RULES
OF ENGAGEMENT.
AND SO WHEN I LOOK AT THE
ACADEMIC SENATE HAVING SPENT ALL
OF MY LIFE AT THE C. ISSUE.
ALL OF MY ACADEMIC LIFE THERE
AND WORKING TO CHANGE THE WHAT
IS HAPPENING I UNDERSTAND THE
LANGUAGE I UNDERSTAND THE BOOKS
IN THE HOWEVER BECAUSE MAYBE SO
FORTH AND SO ON ALL THE
RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE OFTEN PUT
UP. TO SIMPLY SAY WE'RE NOT
GOING TO DO THIS BECAUSE WE'RE
NOT GOING TO EMPOWER STUDENTS TO
HAVE THE INFORMATION THEY NEED
TO BE THE KIND OF CITIZENS THAT
WE WANT.
WE COMPLAIN ABOUT ALL THE HATRED
IN CALIFORNIA WE COMPLAIN ABOUT
THE LACK OF INFORMATION PEOPLE
HAVE WE COMPLAIN ABOUT STUDENTS
NOT BEING CHALLENGED TO THINK
DIFFERENTLY AND TO FORM A
CALIFORNIA THAT IS VERY VERY
DIFFERENT.
I SEE WHAT HAPPENS TO WHITE
STUDENTS WHO TAKE ETHNIC STUDIES
THEIR LIVES ARE CHANGED FOREVER
THE PERSPECTIVES ARE CHANGED FOR
EVER AND AND SO WE HAVE TO LOOK
AT THIS NOT JUST AS A BLACK
BROWN THING.
BUT WE HAVE TO LOOK AT THIS AS
RESCUE IN CALIFORNIA IF WE'RE
EVER GOING TO TALK ABOUT ETHNIC
STUDIES IN K. TWELVE IT IS
BECAUSE WE HAVE EDUCATED THE
TEACHER TEACHERS IN THE C. ISSUE
TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT. TO BE
ABLE TO CHANGE THE COMMON
NARRATIVE THAT'S THERE AND TO
PRESENT THE INFORMATION THAT'S
ALWAYS CENTRAL.
THIS IS CRITICAL FOR CALIFORNIA
BEING THE DIVERSE STATE IT WANTS
TO BE HAVE THE INFORMATION TO
MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES
OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE BUT IN THE
LIVES OF ALL OF US.
AND IT'S ONLY FOR THAT REASON
THAT I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AND
I BOTH DID YOU TO HAVE THE
COURAGE TO JOIN ME AND NOT
LISTEN TO THE NARRATIVE THAT I
HAVE LISTEN TO FOR FIFTY YEARS.
ALL IN TERMS OF WHAT THE
UNIVERSITY CAN AND CANNOT DO
BECAUSE I KNOW THEY DO WHAT THEY
WANT TO DO WHEN THEY WANT TO DO
IT REGARDLESS OF WHO WAS IN
CHARGE.
WHO HAS A ROLE TO DO IT WHO HAS
THE RIGHT TO DO IT ALL THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS?
I HAVE BEEN A PART OF THAT FOR
EVER I KNOW THE NARRATIVE I KNOW
THE LANGUAGE AND THANK GOD I'M
HERE TO TELL YOU THAT IT'S ALL.
UNFAIR UNFOUNDED AND IF I
BELIEVE IN THE EASTER BUNNY THEN
I WOULD BELIEVE IN THAT SO ONCE
AGAIN I ASK FOR YOU TO VOTE FOR
THIS BILL FOR AB FOURTEEN SIXTY
FOR US TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
AND THE CHALLENGES SYSTEM AS IT
SHOULD BE.
THANK YOU DOCTOR WEBER -- OKAY.
SO NONE OF US EVER WANT TO
FOLLOW DR WEBBER BUT BEFORE WE
VOTE.
I DO JUST WANT TO EXPRESS MY
OPINION ON THE BILL -- AND I DO
HAVE TO SAY TO THE C. ISSUES.
I THINK YOU GUYS COULD COME A
LITTLE BIT MORE PREPARED IT'S
REALLY CLEAR THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT THE ACADEMIC
SENATE HAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE
EXIT WITH THE TASK FORCE HAS
RECOMMENDED.
THAT IT HASN'T BEEN INSTITUTED
AS WE'VE GONE OVER IN THREE
YEARS WE'VE HEARD PEOPLE TALK
ABOUT THIS BEING A PRECEDENT AND
IT'S NEVER HAPPENED.
AND I WOULD JUST SAY THAT NEVER
NEVER HAPPENS UNTIL IT DOES
HAPPEN AND SOMETIMES WE HAVE.
TO WE HAVE TO CHANGE THE STATUS
QUO AND AS I SAID WITH THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MEDINA IS BILL
HOW DO WE EXPECT IN AS YOU
ARTICULATED VERY WELL DOCTOR
WEBER HOW DO WE EXPECT PEOPLE TO
KNOW ABOUT EACH OTHER IF WE
DON'T GIVE THEM THE OPPORTUNITY
O LEARN ABOUT.
EACH OTHER HOW DO WE EXPECT TO
BREAK DOWN WALLS BREAKDOWN BAY
AREA BARRIERS EXCEPT EACH OTHER
LOVE EACH OTHER IF WE DON'T
TEACH OUR YOUNG PEOPLE -- SO I I
AM VERY HAPPY TO TO SUPPORT THE
ILL TODAY I APPRECIATE YOU ALSO
BEING AN ADVOCATE AND WORKING SO
HARD AND TIRELESSLY ON THIS. FOR
ALL THE YEARS THAT YOU'VE THAT
YOU'VE BEEN DOING IT AND I JUST
THINK THAT WE NEED TO CHANGE AND
IF WE DON'T CHANGE THINGS FOR
OUR YOUNG PEOPLE.
THEN HOW CAN WE EVER EXPECT A
BETTER FUTURE SO I THINK YOU
VERY MUCH THE MORE WE KNOW ABOUT
EACH OTHER THE MORE WE WILL KNOW
THAT WE ARE MORE ALIKE THAN
DIFFERENT.
AND I WOULD SAY TO ALL OF MY
COLLEAGUES IF NOT US THEN WHO.
AND IF NOT WIN.
IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN WE HAVE A
MOTION BY SENATOR TO ROSAMOND
SECRETARY PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
ITEM TWELVE AB FOURTEEN SIXTY
THE MOTION IS TO PASS TO

PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL THIRTEEN
FIFTY FOUR WHICH WILL ENSURE
CONSISTENT EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU WHO WERE
FORMALLY INCARCERATED.
FOR ME FOR ME -- IN THE JUVENILE
OF JUVENILE JUSTICE -- SYSTEM
THIS BILL REQUIRES THE COUNTY
OFFICE OF EDUCATION TO
COLLABORATE WITH THE PROBATION
ON AN INDIVIDUALIZED TRANSITION
PLAN FOR YOU TRANSITIONING OUT
OF JUVENILE -- COURTS SCHOOL
EXISTING LAW AND ACTED -- BUT BY
THE ABOUT THE SIGNING OF AB.
TWENTY TWO SIXTY SEVEN BOCANEGRA
IN TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN
REQUIRES A JOINT TRANSITION PLAN
A SEARCH TO WHAT THIS BILL DOES
IS WHEN INDIVIDUALS RE OF
GETTING OUT OF THE JUVENILE --
COURT SCHOOL -- IT WILL MANDATE
THAT A PLAN IS PUT IN PLACE FAR
TOO LONG INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE
COMING OUT OF JUNE OUT OF
FACILITIES -- BILL AND GO
THROUGH A BLACK HOLE FALL
THROUGH THE CRACKS -- IN THE
SYSTEM WHERE WHEN THEY RETURNED
TO A PUBLIC SCHOOL COMMUNITY
SCHOOL -- THERE IS NO PLAN FOR
THEM TO SUCCEED I'M A FIRM
BELIEVER AS MY MOTHER SAID IF
YOU DON'T PLAN YOU PLAN TO FAIL
AND SO THIS MANDATES ALL PARTIES
INVOLVED TO COLLABORATE WITH
PROBATION.
THE THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCAL
SERVICES TO MAKING SURE THAT A
PLAN IS PUT IN PLACE TO MAKING
SURE THAT THESE YOUNG PEOPLE'S
TRANSITIONING.
FROM THE JUVENILE -- FACILITY
HAS A PLAN THAT WOULD TRANSITION
THAT WILL GET THEM ON THE RIGHT
COURSE IS THE RIGHT CLASSES FOR
THEM TO TAKE -- WHEN GOING BACK
TO THEIR HOME SCHOOLS -- THIS
COMES HAVE COME OUT OF A WORK
GROUP OF STUDENTS -- WERE PUT
THIS PLAN TOGETHER AND A NUMBER
OF TESTIMONIES HAVE COME FORTH
OF THE STUDENTS WHO HAVE FALLEN
THROUGH THE CRACKS AND WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE AS WE MOVE FORWARD.
THAT THERE'S A CONSISTENT PLAN
THROUGH A MANDATE THAT WOULD
MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR THESE YOUNG
PEOPLE TO SUCCEED WITH ME TO
PROVIDE SUPPORTING TESTIMONY --
BUT THIRTEEN FIFTY FOUR ARE A
REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE YOUTH
LAWCENTER AS WELL AS A JAY YOU
THINK CHU WITHOUT COALITION
REPRESENTATIVE WHO WAS SELF
INTRODUCED IN SUPPORT OF
THIRTEEN FIFTY FOUR VERY GOOD
WITNESSES IN FAVOR [inaudible]
WELCOME.
GOOD MORNING EVERYONE MY NAME IS
ARE YOU TOM NEWSOME HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENT IN A LOCAL AT THE YOUTH
JUSTICE COALITION LOBEL
STRESSFUL LEADING OUR BROTHERS
AND SISTERS OUT OF THE SYSTEM.
AND WE ORGANIZE FOR IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE COMMUNITY AND CHANGES IN
STATE LAWS TO GIVE INCARCERATED
YOUTH MORE OPPORTUNITIES.
I HOPE YOU'LL VOTE YES ON A. B.
THIRTEEN FIFTY FOUR EDUCATION IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT RESOURCE WE
NEED TO GET A JOB.
THAT PAYS ENOUGH TO LIVE ON GET
OFF THE STREETS AND STAY OUT OF
JAIL.
BUT 90% OF THE YOUTH AND
CALIFORNIA'S JUVENILE HALLS
PROBATION CAMPS AND RANCHES IN
BJJ FACILITIES WAS SUSPENDED OR
EXPELLED BEFORE THEY WERE LOCKED
THE I WANT TO FINISH HIGH SCHOOL
IN LOS ANGELES AND I GOT KICKED
OUT FOR FIGHTING NO ONE EVER
ASKS ME WHAT MADE ME SO ANGRY --
SAT ME DOWN WITH OTHER STUDENTS
TO WORK THINGS OUT I WASN'T
REFERRED TO ANOTHER SCHOOL.
WHICH I FOUND OUT LATER IS IS
GET STATE LAW INSTEAD I WAS OUT
OF SCHOOL FOR MONTHS.
I WILL LEAVE EVERY DAY FROM
HOMES TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE I WAS
IN SCHOOL.
BUT I WAS REALLY IN THE STREETS
ARE THEM ON MY MAMA KNOWS KICKED
OUT OF SCHOOL EVENTUALLY.
OUR ROAD IN ANOTHER SCHOOL BUT
THERE WHEN A TEACHER MADE A
RACIST COMMENT IN CLASS I LOST
MY TEMPER IN A THROUGH CHAIR.
THE TEACHER CALLED THE POLICE
AND I WAS ARRESTED AND TAKEN TO
JUVENILE HALL.
PROBATION TELL ME THIS IS WHERE
I WOULD BE FOR A LONG TIME IF I
DIDN'T STRAIGHTEN STRAIGHTEN UP.
I WAS TOLD I WOULDN'T BE HOME
FOR CHRISTMAS I GUESS THEY WERE
TRYING TO SCARE ME IT WAS A VERY
HUMILIATING EXPERIENCE.
AT JUVENILE HALL ARE WAS NEVER
TESTED OR SAYS ON MY EDUCATIONAL
NEEDS.
I WAS NEVER ROLLED IN SCHOOL
EVEN THOUGH I WAS THERE FOR
WEEKS WHEN I WAS RELEASED I GOT
NO REFERRAL TO ANOTHER SCHOOL.
NO TRANSCRIPTS I HAD NO ID ALL
OF THESE THINGS ARE ESSENTIAL TO
GET INTO SCHOOL.
AS THEIR PROBATION BASICALLY
KICKED ME OUT TO THE STREETS.
I WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THREE
YEARS DURING THE ENTIRE TIME I
WAS ON PROBATION I NEVER HAVE
SUPPORT AND ROLE IN SCHOOL I WAS
TOLD TO DO ANGER MANAGEMENT
CLASSES FOR HIGH RISK HIGH NEEDS.
YOU'VE BUT MY MOTHER COULDN'T
AFFORD THE FEES SO BASICALLY ALL
I GOT DURING THOSE THREE YEARS
WAS DRUG TESTED.
I AM A ROLE NOW DO YOU JUSTICE
COLLISIONS HIGH SCHOOL AND I
KNOW I WILL GRADUATE BUT IT IS
HARD.
ALL THE TIME OUT OF SCHOOL BROKE
MY CONFIDENCE IN MY LOVE FOR
LEARNING.
AND I HAVE TO GET USED TO HAVING
THE SAYS GRADUAL SCHEDULE FOR
SCHOOL EVERY DAY.
THE STREETS IN TROUBLE PULLS
HARD ON THE U. IT'S NO MYSTERY
WHY WE ARE ALL IN THE STREETS WE
NEED TO EAT.
AND WHEN YOU FALL BEHIND THE
SCHOOL YOU START TO BELIEVE THAT
SHE WON'T MAKE IT WOULD
EDUCATION.
THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF YOU THAT
HAVE MY SAME STORY BUT CURRENT
LAW DOESN'T REQUIRE ANY
OVERSIGHT OF SERVICES AND
SUPPORTS.
LIKE HELP WAS SCHOOL RECORDS AND
CREDITS TRANSFERS ALL THE THINGS
THAT I NEEDED.
AB THIRTEEN FIFTY FOUR WILL
REQUIRE THAT THE COUNTY OFFICE
OF EDUCATION AND PROBATION TO
DEVELOP A PERSONAL PLAN WITH THE
STUDENT AND THEIR FAMILY IN
ORDER TO MEET THE ACADEMIC.
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL AND CAREER
NEEDS OF EACH STUDENT WHO WAS
LOCKED UP FOR MORE TAN TWENTY
CONSECUTIVE SCHOOL DAYS.
I HOPE WILL ENCOURAGE THEM TO
EVENTUALLY GUARANTEE THAT ALL
YOUTH WHO ARE RISKY GET THE
SERVICES.
AND OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR JUVENILE
HALLS IN ALL YOU FACILITIES WE
NEED COLLAGEN JOB PREPARATION
BUT WE ARE GETTING PRISON
PREPARATION.
THAT'S THE REASON WHY SO MANY
YOU GRADUATE NOT BY WALKING THE
STATE'S BOUGHT BUT BY WALKING
THE PRISON YARD.
AND THE REASON WHY 85% OF THE
PEOPLE WHO ANSWER PRISON ACROSS
THE COUNTRY HAVE NO HIGH SCHOOL
DIPLOMA.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME I
URGE.
YET URGENT OF ALL YES ON A. B..
THIRTEEN FIFTY FOUR THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR YOUR VERY POWERFUL
TESTIMONY THANK YOU FOR BEING
WILLING TO COME AND SHARE WITH
US TODAY.
NEXT WITNESS.
I'LL KEEP MY COMMENTS VERY BRIEF --
I'M LUCY SAUCEDO CARTER ADVOCATE
WITH THE YOUTH LAWCENTER WE'RE
SPONSORING THIS BILL BECAUSE WE
KNOW THAT WITHOUT SUPPORTS TO
HELP YOUTH TRANSITION FROM
JUVENILE COURT SCHOOL BACK TO
THEIR COMMUNITY SCHOOL.
MANY OF THEM WILL DROP OUT OF
SCHOOL TOGETHER AND MISS
THOMASES TESTIMONY REALLY.
EXEMPLIFIES THAT UNFORTUNATELY --
AND WE KNOW THAT EDUCATION IS
KEY TO GIVING YOUTH ESPECIALLY
YOUTH WITH TO PROMOTE US TO
SYSTEM INVOLVEMENT OPPORTUNITIES
TO DEVELOP THE SKILLS AND
KNOWLEDGE THEY NEED. TO PREPARE
FOR THE FUTURE AND HAVE A
PRODUCTIVE LIFE -- UNFORTUNATELY
YOUNG PEOPLE LIKE MISS THOMAS
ARE LEAVING JUVENILE FACILITIES.
THE FIRST THERE THEY ARE
STRUGGLING TO GET RE ENROLLED IN
THEIR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS.
THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO GET CREDIT
FOR THE WORK THEY DO IN THE
COURTS SCHOOLS.
AND THEY AREN'T GETTING INTO THE
COURSES THAT THEY NEED TO
CONTINUE THEIR ACADEMIC.
PROGRESS.
I'M.
AB TWENTY TWO SEVENTY SIX WAS
ONE OF THE BILLS THAT ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GIPSON MENTIONED -- A
WORK GROUP FROM THAT BILL MADE
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT ARE
REFLECTED IN THIS BILL.
AND I'D JUST LIKE TO SAY THAT I
THINK IT'S GOOD POLICY TO FOLLOW --
RECOMMENDATIONS THAT COME OUT OF
FORT GROUPS THAT ARE ASSIGNED BY
THE LEGISLATURE RATHER THAN
HAVING THEM SIT ON THE SHELF.
SO -- BY SUPPORTING AB THIRTEEN
FIFTY FOUR YOU HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE
LEGISLATION THAT BUILDS ON
FORMER LEGISLATION.
AND ON THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF
EXPERTS APPOINTED BY THE
LEGISLATURE AND YOU ALSO HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO STRENGTHEN
THE LIKELIHOOD THAT VULNERABLE
YOUTH WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE
THEIR EDUCATION AND THRIVE.
AND BECOME PRODUCTIVE HEALTHY
MEMBERS OF SOCIETY SO ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH OTHERS IN
SUPPORT.

THAT ARE HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS WOULD NOT JUST
CONFORM THE NC DOUBLE A RULES
BUT ACTUALLY HE LEAD TO CHANGE
THE ONES THAT ARE -- LESS
APPROPRIATE RATE AND THAT THEY
NEED TO BE STRONGER ADVOCATES
FOR THE STUDENTS AND BECAUSE

AND I'VE BEEN VERY PRIVILEGED TO
MEET SOME OF THE STUDENTS WHO
ARE ACTIVISTS FURTHER DOCUMENTED
AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES.
AND I'VE ASKED THEM WAS URGING
LIAISON AGING CENTER WOULD MEAN
FOR THEM.
AND JUST FOR WHAT THEY'VE TOLD
ME IS BASICALLY IT'S A SAFE AND
INCLUSIVE SPACE FOR THEM -- IT'S
VERY OBVIOUS THAT DURING THIS%
TIME.
MANY OF US FEEL FEEL -- UNSAFE
AND SOMETIMES EVEN ATTACKED
DURING A WITHIN OUR CAMPUSES.
AND THIS IS A SAFE SPACE FOR FOR
STUDENTS IS A A PLACE WHERE THEY
CAN BE THEMSELVES OR THEY CN.
HAVE THE CONFIDENTIALITY AND THE
OPPORTUNITIES TO BE ABLE TO WORK
AMONGST THEMSELVES TO BE ABLE TO
GET THE RESOURCES THEY NEED.
AND THAT WAS ANOTHER POINT THEY
WANTED TO MAKE WAS THAT THERE
ARE SO MANY RESOURCES AVAILABLE
ON COLLEGE COLLEGE CAMPUSES.
BUT THE RESOURCES ARE SOMETIMES
VERY CENTERED AROUND A RESIDENCY
AND CITIZENSHIP FOR STUDENTS AND
A CENTER HAVING A DREAM MAYES ON
HAVING A DREAM CENTER WHAT ALLOW
STUDENTS TO BE ABLE.
TO GET ACCESS TO THESE RESOURCES
AND MANY OF THEM THEY DON'T
REALLY KNOW.
WHAT OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE OUT
THERE FOR THEM ESPECIALLY DURING
THE TIMES THAT -- IMMIGRATION
DEBATES ARE HAVE THE SYSTEM VERY
IT FLUCTUATED WHERE WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON SOMETIMES.
AND THAT'S WHAT THIS IS THIS
BILL WOULD.
ALLOW STUDENTS TO TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE THAT SPACE AND THAT PERSON
THAT WILL DIRECT THEM TO THE
RIGHT RESOURCES THAT THEY NEED.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT TO
ONE OF OUR MEMBERS HER NAME IS
ABOVE IT NOT.
AND SHE ACTUALLY FOUGHT FOR A
DREAM CENTER AT HERS THE COLLEGE
IS YEAR OF COLLEGE.
AND MY MAIN CONCERN.
FOR I WE'RE REALLY PROUD OF THE
WORK SHE DID BUT I MAIN CONCERN
IS THAT STUDENTS SHOULD NOT HAVE
TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE
DIFFICULTIES TO BE ABLE.
TO GET THE RESOURCES AND THE
HELP THEY NEED IT SHOULD BE ABLE
TO BE THERE FOR THEM WHEN THEY
GO TO THEIR COLLEGE OR
UNIVERSITY.
AND AT THE REASON UC DAVIS
GRADUATE I'M VERY PROUD TO SAY
THAT YOU SEE DAVIS HAD THE FIRST
A BOUT FORTY AND DOCUMENTS
STUDENT CENTER.
SO THAT WAS REALLY HELPFUL AND
THAT'S HOW I MEAN WHAT TO STAND
HERE BEFORE YOU AS A FIRST
