AND MY CONTRIBUTIONS WILL LIVE
PRIMARILY IN MY PERSPECTIVES AS

ACTING ON MY CONCERN FOR OUR

I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE
GOVERNOR --
FOR BESTOWING THIS HONOR UPON --
I AM THE PROUD RECIPIENT OF A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE --
DEGREE -- I
GREW UP IN --
NEVADO AND WENT TO SANTA ROSA JC.
AND OVER THE PAST YEARS I'VE HAD
THE GREAT FORTUNE OF GOING HEAD
WORKING WITH THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE AND ESPECIALLY OVER THE
LAST NINE MONTHS.
AS WE'VE LOOKED AT THAT THE
TRAGEDY OF THE FIRES THAT
OCCURRED IN IRAQ ON OCTOBER --
EIGHT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN
BOTH NAPA CINEMA MENDOCINO --
AND LAKE COUNTY HAVE REALLY
BECOME A VITAL PART OF WHAT OUR
LONG TERM GROWTH IN SOLUTION IS --
FOR REBOUNDING AND RECOVERING.
AND SO --
WHEN I DID GET THE NOMINATION I
WAS VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE
OPPORTUNITY IN THE PROSPECT
SERVE?
AND I BELIEVE THAT --
AND YOU KNOW I'VE GOT SOME
UNIQUE SKILL SETS --
THE WILL HOOK HOPE HOPEFULLY
ENHANCE THE BOARD.
AND I DO WANNA SAY AS A
TREMENDOUS LOSS WE LOST OUR
CHAIR AND YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM
HER -- BUT
FOR THE THREE BOARD MEETINGS
THAT I GOT TO SERVE --
SHE IS TRULY AN ASSET I TO THE
MEAT COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND
SOMEBODY THAT WILL BE A GREAT
LOSS FOR US BUT A GREAT --
BOOM FOR THE REGION'S SO I WANT
TO THANK YOU OFFER HEARING FROM
ME TODAY AND I'M VERY HONORED TO

AFTERNOON MADAM CHAIR MEMBERS MY
NAME IS AMY COSTA IT'S MY
PLEASURE TO BE WITH YOU THIS
AFTERNOON --
I AM REALLY EXCITED TO BE
CONSIDERED FOR AN APPOINTMENT TO
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS FOR THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
I SPENT AN APPRECIABLE AMOUNT OF
MY HOW CAREER IN PUBLIC SERVICE
ON HIGHER EDUCATION ISSUES I CAN
THE LEGISLATURE.
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION AND ALSO
AT THE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM.
AND WHEN I THINK ABOUT WHY I
HAVE PASSION FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION IT'S REALLY SIMPLE I
GREW UP IN WEST SACRAMENTO NOT
FAR FROM HERE.
AND AS A CHILD MY DAD ACTUALLY
WORKED ON THE RENOVATION OF THE
CAPITOL BUILDING HE WORKED FOR
THE PHONE COMPANY AND SO HE DREW
ON THE TELEPHONE LINES.
AND OFTEN THINK MY DAD WORKED
ON HE BUILDING I GOT TO WORK IN
THE BUILDING I WAS PRIVILEGED TO
BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
AND IN ESSENCE THAT'S WHAT
HIGHER EDUCATION OFFERS FOR ALL
CALIFORNIANS THAT ECONOMIC
MOBILITY AND THE OPPORTUNITY.
I'D ALSO LIKE TO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO THANK I HAVE MY
MOM HIS HERE JAN PIERCE A GOOD
FAMILY FRIEND PATTY TOMASELLO.
UP MY MOM WATCHES ALL OF MY
BUDGET HEARINGS SHE KNOWS A LOT
OF HALF THE STATE BUDGET --
MI HAS BEEN JOSH WHO CAME UP IN
THE BAY AREA.
WHO HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY
SUPPORTIVE OF MY CAREER AND
HELPING WITH OUR THREE CHILDREN
AT HOME?
ON AND I COULD HAVE DONE IT
WITHOUT ANY OF I'D THEIR HELP --
AND SO I BELIEVE MY PASSION AND
MY POLICY EXPERTISE CAN --
CAN HELP ALL CALIFORNIANS
REALIZE SOMETHING THAT I WAS
ABLE TO REALIZE.
ON IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
ESPECIALLY.
THE AND A VARIETY OF WAYS
WHETHER IT'S AN ASSOCIATE DEGREE
FOR TRANSFER WHETHER IT'S SKILL
BUILDING WITH AN EMPLOYER OR
WHETHER OR NOT IT'S A FEATURE
CERTIFICATE.
ARM AND SO WITH THAT I AM I AM
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AS
WE GO FORWARD AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION AND THANK YOU
TO THE GOVERNOR FOR APPOINTING
ME.
A GOOD AFTERNOON SENATORS --
FIRST AND FOREMOST I WANT TO
THANK YOU ALL FOR HAVING US HERE
TODAY.
AND GIVEN US THE OPPORTUNITY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY
HAVE.
A SENATOR --
ROTH AND EVERY OTHER VETERAN IN
THIS ROOM THINK FOR YOUR
SERVICES WELL.
I MY NAME IS BLOOD VIA LOBOS AND
THE CHAPLAIN UNIVERSITIES
DIRECTOR OF VETERANS AFFAIRS
OPERATE FOURTEEN YEARS.
I'VE BEEN WORKING.
MY WAY THROUGH THE VETERAN SPACE
WORKING ON PROJECTS INITIATIVES
AND POLICY ISSUES ARE RELATED TO
THE IMPROVEMENT OF THE QUALITY
OF LIFE OF VETERANS AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
I'VE BEEN BLESSED TO HAVE MADE A
SMALL DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF
A FEW PEOPLE ON THE WAY HAND
ALONG THE YEARS --
AT WORK IN POSITIONS RANGING
FROM OUTREACH WORKER TO
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR.
AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN.
AND I SHARE THIS WITH YOU
BECAUSE I HONESTLY BELIEVE I
WOULDN'T BE HERE TODAY WERE IT
NOT FOR THE EDUCATION AND
SUPPORT THAT I RECEIVED FROM MY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE THAT WAS AS I
WAS TRANSITIONING OUT OF THE
MILITARY IN BACK INTO.
A CIVILIAN LIFE.
I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I DON'T
TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY LIGHTLY --
I ALSO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I'M
LOOKING FOR TO SERVING AS A
MEMBER OF THE FOUR GOVERNORS AND
FOCUS IN MY EFFORTS ON THE
IMPROVEMENT OF SERVICES FOR
VETERANS.
AND THEIR FAMILIES IN THE
EDUCATION SYSTEM.
I M GOAL IS TO SUPPORT STUDENT
VETERAN POPULATION THEIR
FAMILIES AND WORK ON ISSUES THAT
WOULD HELP THEM SUCCESSFULLY
ACHIEVE THEIR ACADEMIC GOALS.
I AND I HOPE THAT I CAN I SHARE
WITH YOU MY EXCITEMENT AND
ENTHUSIASM --
DURING THE COURSE OF THIS YEAR
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WE WILL GO
AHEAD AND GET STARTED AND
SENATOR ROTH LET'S BEGIN WITH
YOU [inaudible]
VENTURE.
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU
LOOK FORWARD.
TO MOVING YOUR CONFIRMATION AND
SUPPORTING IT.
COMMUNICATIVE SYSTEM.
SEEMS TO ME ANYWAY TO BE SORT OF
UNIQUE WE HAVE A SERIES OF ONE
HUNDRED NOW HUNDRED AND FIFTEEN
IS THAT IT COLLEGES.
SPREAD ACROSS THE STATE --
OPERATED BY SEPARATE TO
DISTRICTS IN CALIFORNIA AND
GOVERNED BY SEPARATE DISTRICT
BOARDS.
I I YOU KNOW I COME OUT OF THE
MILITARY SO I'M USED TO THE
CHAIN OF COMMAND AND UNLIKE ARE
YOU SEE AN RC ISSUE WHERE
THERE'S A CLEAR CHAIN OF COMMAND
FROM.
FROM THE PRESIDENT OR IN THE
CASE OF C. ISSUE THE THE
CHANCELLOR DOWN TO YOU THE
COLLEGE PRESIDENTS UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENTS WE DON'T HAVE THAT IN
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM.
AND MY PERCEPTION IS FROM TIME
TO TIME THAT LEADS TO SOME
DISCONNECTS SO I GUESS MY
QUESTION TO EACH OF YOU.
IS HOT WHAT CAN WE DO HOW CAN WE
BETTER --
ORGANIZES A COMMUNICATIVE SYSTEM
TO PROVIDE BETTER COORDINATION --
WITHIN AND WITHOUT THE SYSTEM TO
INCLUDE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
SYSTEM AND THE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY.
THAT A FAIR QUESTION.
OKAY I DON'T REALLY CARE WHO
WANTS TO TAKE IT.
I CAN START --
WHEN I WORKED IN THE SENATE WE
COMMISSIONED A SERIES OF REPORTS
ON HIGHER ADDING CALIFORNIA AND
THERE WAS SOMETHING ABOUT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT ALWAYS
STUCK OUT THE RESEARCHER
DESCRIBED IT AS THAT?
CRAZY QUILT WORK OF GOVERNANCE.
ON IN PHILLY THINK THAT'S SOME
OF WHAT YOU'VE DESCRIBED.
I WOULD SAY THAT I THINK THERE
ARE A COUPLE OF INITIATIVES THAT
HAVE HAPPENED RECENTLY THAT ARE
MOVING COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO A
MORE REGIONAL MODEL --
NAMELY I'M THINKING OF THE
STRONG WORK FORCE.
POLICY WHICH IS WHERE --
CUNY COLLEGES AND NOW K. TWELVE
ENTITIES REALLY LOOK AT A
REGION'S WORKFORCE NEED WHEN
THEY BEGAN LOOKING OUT WHAT
COURSES TO OFFER TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE COURSE IS ALIGNED WITH
WHAT THE JOB MARKET IS SHOWING
IN THAT PARTICULAR REGION.
AND SO I DO THINK THERE'S
OPPORTUNITIES ESPECIALLY AT THE
REGIONAL LEVEL TO MAKE SURE WERE
COORDINATING BETTER.
LAFAYETTE WOULD SAY THAT --
THAT.
DONE NOTHING BUT IMPROVE DURING
MY TIME HERE ON SB FOURTEEN
FORTY CREATED THE ASSOCIATE
DEGREE FOR TRANSFER --
AND IT WAS PRIMARILY LOOKED
FOCUSED ON CSU AT THAT TIME WE
NOW HAVE TRANSFER AGREEMENTS
WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA AND THERE'S A
PROVISION IN THE BUDGET FOR
PRIVATE NOT FOR PROFIT COLLEGES
TO ALSO.
EXCEPT ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR
TRANSFER SO I I THINK WE'RE
GETTING THERE THROUGH SOME OF
THOSE --
POLICY INITIATIVES BUT THERE'S
CERTAINLY ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
ON TO BETTER COORDINATE.
WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT RESPONSE
ONE OF THE AREAS IT IS OF
INTEREST TO ME.
HAS TO DO WITH OF THE NURSING
PROGRAMS IN OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WHICH ARE ABSOLUTELY
SUPERB.
AND THE RELATIVELY RELEASED MY
PERCEPTION LOW TAKE RATE.
OF TRANSFERS FROM THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SYSTEM OF ASSOCIATE
NURSES TO THE C. ISSUE SYSTEM
FOR THE BACHELOR'S DEGREE.
AND AS YOU MAY KNOW MAYBE NOT --
DID THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN YOUR
ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE IN YOUR
BATCHES DEGREE.
ASSUME LIBERAL ARTS COURSES IN
MAY BE TWO OR THREE NURSING
COURSES WHICH ARE NON CLINICAL
NATURE.
SO I'M PRESSING THE CSU AND THEY
HAVE RESPONDED REMARKABLY WELL.
A WITH US WITH QUICK ACTION AND
A LOT OF US SPEED IN THOUGHT IN
TRYING TO SOLVE THAT PROBLEM --
THROUGH --
DO CREDENTIALING OF FACULTY
CONCURRENT ENROLLMENT.
TO PERMIT THE COURSES TO BE
TAKEN WHEREVER THERE'S LESS
INSTRUCTORS AVAILABLE TO TEACH
THEM AND SPACE AVAILABLE ON
WHICH TO CONDUCT THE CLASSES.
SO I WOULD ASK YOU OF FOLLOWING
YOUR CONFIRMATION WHICH I'M SURE
WILL HAPPEN.
OF TO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT --
END OF FROM THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
SEE IF YOU CAN HELP ME AND HELP
MY COLLEAGUES TO SPEED THAT
ALONG BECAUSE WELL I'M HAPPEN TO
BE CURRENTLY FOCUSED ON NURSING
I'M SURE THAT'S NOT THE ONLY PRO
PROGRAM.
A WHERE THE THE PIPELINE IS THEM.
IS CONSTRICTED --
AND NEEDS TO BE OPENED UP.
SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND AGAIN
CONGRATULATIONS THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR VICE
CHAIRMAN DEMORA.
OKAY THANK YOU [inaudible]
DEMONIC.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
WHEN I HAD MY CONGRATULATIONS TO
EACH AND ALL OF YOU ON?
GOVERNOR'S CONFIDENCE IN IN
REVIEWING YOUR YOUR HISTORIES
ALL VERY UNIQUE AND DIFFERENT
BUT ALL AMAZING.
FOUNDATIONS FOR THE THE TRUST IN
THE GOVERNOR AND AND I BELIEVE
FOR THIS COMMITTEE.
I'M I DID HAVE A CHANCE TO MEET.
WITH ALL OF THE APPOINTEES AND
GET SOMEWHAT ACQUAINTED NAM I
DID HAVE A QUESTION THAT I ASKED
MISTER VIA LOBOS WHEN WE MET
EARLIER AND I THINK WOULD BE OF
INTEREST.
THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS --
YOUR PARTICULAR FOCUS ON
VETERANS --
TRANSITION --
INTO HIGHER EDUCATION.
AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE --
BUT MY QUESTION THIS MORNING AND
I'D LIKE YOU TO ADDRESS THAT
AGAIN -- DO
WE HAVE AVAILABLE RESOURCES NOT
JUST COUNSELING ACADEMIC
COUNSELING THAT.
APPROPRIATE MENTAL HEALTH --
SERVICES. TO TO ASSIST VETERANS
WHO MIGHT BE DEALING WITH --
PTSD OR OTHER ISSUES THAT
THEY'RE GRAPPLING WITH WHETHER
ALSO TRYING TO THE MAP OUT A
EDUCATIONAL FUTURE.
YES SIR AND THANK YOU FOR THAT
QUESTION --
AS I MENTIONED TO YOU EARLIER --
BASED ON MY EXPERIENCE WHAT I'VE
SEEN AS OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
COLLEGES THAT ARE ACTUALLY
PROACTIVE AND ENGAGING THE
COMMUNITY THE NONPROFIT
COMMUNITY TO ADDRESS THE MENTAL
HEALTH NEEDS OF THE VETERAN
POPULATION.
ARE ARE FEW AND UNFORTUNATELY
FAR BETWEEN ARE THERE ARE SOME
GREAT PROGRAMS OUT THERE --
THESE PROGRAMS ARE --
CREATED AND IMPLEMENTED BY
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS ARE
THERE ARE SOME EMPLOYEES
OBVIOUSLY THAT NEED TO BE SIGNED
WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN
ORDER TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE
SERVICES.
AND GREAT EXAMPLE OF THAT I CAN
GIVE YOU WILL BE THE OUTSIDE THE
Y. PROGRAM WHICH I MANAGE WHILE
I WAS THAT.
I YOU IS VETS DONE AND I LA
COUNTY ORANGE COUNTY --
THAT PARTICULAR PROGRAM OFF
OPERATED OUT OF FIFTEEN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES BETWEEN THOSE
TWO COUNTIES.
THE IDEA WAS TO NOT ONLY PROVIDE --
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR VETS
ARE BUT ALSO THE FAMILIES AND
EDUCATE THE FAMILIES AND WHAT
THOSE ISSUES MAY ACTUALLY
PHYSICALLY OFFICIALS ARE
PSYCHOLOGICALLY LOOK LIKE.
US SO THAT WE CAN BETTER SUPPORT
DANCE --
THERE ARE --
SEVERAL PROGRAMS LIKE THAT
THROUGHOUT THE STATE --
SOME -- ARE
BETTER THAN OTHERS I AM BY THAT.
I MEAN THE CLINICAL SERVICES ARE
PROVIDED UP PROVIDED OUR SUPERB
UNFORTUNATELY THE FUNDING TO
THAT NONPROFIT MAY NOT
NECESSARILY BE THERE TO PROVIDE
SUPPORT FOR ADDITIONAL --
COMMUNITY COLLEGES I THERE IS A
HIGH NEED FOR SERVICES MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES FOR VETERAN ON
POPULATION AND THEIR FAMILIES
ARE ESPECIALLY THE TRANSITION IN
POPULATION.
ARE IN LA COUNTY ALONE TWELVE
THOUSAND VETERANS --
MOVED TO LA COUNTY EVERY YEAR
AYE WE HAVE APPROXIMATELY SIXTY
FIVE HUNDRED WHO MOVED TO ORANGE
COUNTY EVERY YEAR.
THESE ARE ALL TRANSITIONING
VETERANS WHO MAY NOT NECESSARILY
KNOW THAT THERE ARE SERVICES FOR
THEM AVAILABLE THE FOURTH POINT
OF ENTRY BACK INTO OUR CIVILIAN
SOCIETY IS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
OVER 90% OF VETERANS WHO GO BACK
TO SCHOOLS STARTING THIS SYSTEM
MYSELF INCLUDED.
I IT IS --
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
AND I'VE MADE IT PART MY DOCTOR
PROJECT TO FOCUS ON PRO ACTIVELY
ENGAGING THE VETERAN POPULATION
AT THAT LEVEL.
AND FOR THE REASON THAT I
MENTIONED EARLIER ARE THEY ARE
NOT.
GOING TO THE VA.
SOON AFTER THEY LEAVE THE
MILITARY THEY'RE GOING BACK TO
SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY WANT IMPROVE
THEIR LIVES AND THEY WANT TO BE
ABLE -- TO
MOVE ON AND PROVIDE FOR THEIR
FAMILIES I THIS IS THE ENTRY
POINT FOR TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
VETERANS THROUGH THE CALIFORNIA.
AND WE DEFINITELY NEED TO
ADDRESS IN A PRACTICE MATCH.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND OH WELL
YOU'VE BEEN.
FOCUSED LARGELY ON VETERANS
ISSUES AND REINTEGRATION AN
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY MAYBE A
QUESTION FOR ANYONE ELSE ON THE
PANEL.
THESE NEEDS AREN'T UNIQUE TO
VETERANS AND I THINK WHERE --
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND UNDER
GOVERNOR BROWN'S LEADERSHIP HAVE
BEEN TREMENDOUSLY EFFECTIVE.
TRYING TO CREATE MORE SEAMLESS
OPPORTUNITIES FOR TRANSITION TO
SEE ISSUE ARE YOU SEE. OH WE'VE
PUT MORE INTO A TECHNICAL
TRAINING AND CAREER PATHWAYS.
BUT ON ON THE FRONT OF PROVIDING
SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS.
MANY MAY BE SINGLE PARENTS MANY
MAY BE.
TRYING TO HOLD DOWN ONE OR TWO
JOBS WHILE THEY PURSUE THEIR
EDUCATION --
THOUGHTS FROM ANY OF YOU ABOUT
COUNSELING SERVICES AS PART OF
WHAT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
OFFER BEYOND JUST ACADEMIC
COUNSELING.
LINKED TO THAT OF THE CHALLENGE
OF PART TIME FACULTY WHO ARE
OFTEN.
HEARING THEIR BOOKS IN THEIR
TEACHING MATERIALS IN THEIR CARS
AND COMMUTING TO DIFFERENT
CAMPUSES TO TOGETHER A LIVING
WAGE FOR THEMSELVES AND THEIR
FAMILIES.
THERE BY NOT AVAILABLE TO
STUDENTS NECESSARILY SO.
KIND OF TWO QUESTIONS IN THERE
BUT IF ANY OF YOU WOULD LIKE
[inaudible]
TO ADDRESS.
THOSE ISSUES I'D APPRECIATE IT.
I AM I'M THE HABITAT PROVIDER
RESPONSE YOU SENATOR MONNING I
THINK THAT.
I TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION THE
AVAILABILITY OF COUNSELORS AND
OTHER METHODS OF ACADEMIC
SUPPORT IS CRITICAL [inaudible]
BECAUSE THIS.
STUDENT POPULATION FOR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES FACES A LOT OF BOTH
TUITION AND NON TUITION HE NO I
THINK THAT ON THERE'S A NEW
EMPHASIS CENTER RE EMPHASIS ON
PROVIDING THEM WITH IT WITH THE
SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED FROM FROM
A LOCAL LEVEL.
I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
VISIT ON DESPITE MY BEING
APPOINTED FOR WORK ENJOYED AT
SERVICE ON THE BOARD.
FOR A COUPLE MONTHS.
ON A VISIT TO TO COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ALREADY AND YOU'D BE
VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE AMOUNT
OF RESOURCES THAT THESE TWO
LOCAL.
COLLEGES HAVE INVESTED INTO --
THINGS THAT WORRY US THE MOST
FOOD INSECURITY MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES HOMELESSNESS ON AND THE
LOCAL COLLEGES SHOULD BE
ACKNOWLEDGED FOR THAT BUT AT THE
AND THE COUNSELORS AND OTHER
METHODS OF ACADEMIC SUPPORT.
ISRAELI WHERE THAT THE PROGRESS
SHOULD BE MADE THERE AND AND
MORE DISCUSSIONS TO BE HAD WITH
THEM IN TERMS OF WHAT THE
STUDENTS NEED AT THAT LEVEL.
THANK YOU MAYBE WITH RESPECT TO
THE TRANSCEND.
TEACHERS ON HAD WE GET MORE
STABILITY --
MISTER ANDERSON UNITED CENTER I
I THINK WE NEED TO NEED TO
EXAMINE SORT OF THE USE OF REAL
ESTATE -- AT
THE CAMPUSES BECAUSE THERE IS A
HUGE NEED AND A CRISIS IS WE
LOOK AROUND THE STATE ON HOUSING
THAT YOU'RE ALL AWARE OF AND I
THINK THAT YOU KNOW IF YOU LOOK
AT THE DESIGN AND THE
IMPLEMENTATION ON THE CAMPUSES.
THERE'S A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO GO
AHEAD AND UP ZONE IN INCREASE
HOUSING.
BOTH FOR PROFESSORS AS WELL AS
STUDENTS AND I THINK THIS WEEK
IT WAS ANNOUNCED IT'S NO MISTAKE
JUST ERA SACRAMENTO STATE JUST
ANNOUNCED FOUR THOUSAND NEW
RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
IN A JOINT VENTURE PUBLIC
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP AND I THINK
THIS IS GONNA BE THE WAVE NOT
JUST AT THE END OF UC'S IN THE
STATE'S FINAL LOOKING AT THAT
BUT ESPECIALLY THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES.
BECAUSE I THINK NOT ONLY WILL IT
PROVIDE A NEEDED SERVICE FOR THE
PROFESSORS.
STUDENTS BUT IT WILL CREATE
NEEDED INCOME FROM MANY OF THOSE
CAMPUSES THAT MAY HAVE A SURPLUS
OF REAL ESTATE --
OR AN UNDER UTILIZED --
PORTION OF REAL ESTATE THANK YOU
AND THEN.
I DON'T ONE MILLION OUTLANDER
TRUST GO HERE CHECK THERE JUST
ON THIS TOPIC AND YOU ARE THERE
EXAMPLES OF ANY OF THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WHERE MAYBE.
A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP OR
ANYTHING RELATED TO HOUSING OR
IS IT JUST ON THE RADAR SCREEN.
NOW THAT MAYBE THERE WOULD BE A
ROLE THAT YOU WOULD PLAY THEIR
THEN I CAN ONLY TALK ABOUT AND
DRESSY ISSUES A SENATOR IN MIND
LOCAL COMMUNITY AND THEY HAVE
ACTUALLY DONE THAT THERE WERE
SEVERAL PIECES OF PROPERTY IS
RELATED TO SANTA ROSA JC.
THAT WERE OWNED BY THE CAMPUS
SOMEWHERE UNDER UTILIZED PARKING
LOTS ARE A CLASSIC AREA.
AND THEY HAVE DID THOSE OUT --
TO LOOK AT JOINT VENTURES WITH
DEVELOPERS IN THE REGION TO GO
AHEAD AND INCREASED THE
UTILIZATION OF THAT --
I DO THINK THAT YOU KNOW ONE OF
THE CHALLENGES --
IS TO BALANCE ME TO WHAT IS
HAPPENING WITH SEQUEL BECAUSE
THERE'S TREMENDOUS DELAYS ON
THAT ISSUE --
AND TO GO AND LOOK AT YOU KNOW
POTENTIAL FUNDING ASSISTANCE
BECAUSE RIGHT NOW WITHOUT
REDEVELOPMENT THERE IS A LACK ON
THOSE CAMPUSES OF ANYWHERE
BETWEEN. FIFTEEN AND 25% AT
FILLING SOME OF THOSE PROJECTS --
BUT I DO THINK THAT YOU KNOW
IT'S AN AREA NEAR YOU CUT DOWN
ON TRAFFIC.
YOU KNOW PEOPLE CAN GO AHEAD AND
WALK TO THEIR TEACHING THEIR
JOBS THE STUDENTS OR THEIR
INTEGRATED ON CAMPUS IT LIVENS
UP THE AREA AND IF YOU GO AHEAD
AND DO MIX USE AND HAVE
RESIDENTIAL UNITS.
IT HELPS SUPPORT THE COMMERCIAL
ASPECTS OF THAT MAKES USE ON THE
CAMPUS.
MR MONNING THANK YOU I'M SORRY I
THINK YOU KNOW THERE'S ONLY.
CONNECTED WITH WITH AN EARLIER
QUESTION AND I DID WANT TO JUST
STEM.
S. MISS COSTA QUESTION BUT TO
PREFACE IT BY.
THANKING YOU FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS
SERVICE --
WE'VE SEEN YOU APPEAR BEFORE
COMMITTEES MANY TIMES SOME
BEHALF OF THE ADMINISTRATION
THEN.
YOU'VE TAKEN OFTEN VERY
COMPLICATED BUDGET ISSUES AND
PROVIDED A A LEVEL OF
UNDERSTANDING FOR FOR THOSE OF
US ON COMMITTEE AND FOR THE
PUBLIC SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SERVICE THEREIN --
YOU'RE GONNA BRING TREMENDOUS.
BRETT OF KNOWLEDGE WITH THE
BUDGET ISSUES RELATED TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND HIGHER
EDUCATION.
BUT WITH YOUR KNOWLEDGE WHAT DO
YOU SEE I THINK WE HAVE.
AS I MENTIONED EARLIER SEEN
GREAT PROGRESS IN.
REDUCING SOME OF THE BARRIERS
FOR STUDENTS BETWEEN MOVING
BETWEEN SYSTEMS AND EVEN
REACHING AND HIGH SCHOOLS WITH
MORE.
CONNECTIVITY THERE TO TRY TO
REDUCE THE NEED FOR REMEDIAL
WORK WHEN THEY COME TO COMMUNITY
COLLEGES.
BUT IN YOUR ESTIMATION MISS COST
OF WHAT DO YOU SEE THE THE
CHALLENGES AS YOU ENTER YOUR
SERVICE ON THE BOARD OR A ISSUES
YOU'D PARTICULARLY LIKE TO TAKE
ON IN A IN YOUR NEW CAPACITY ON
THE BOARD.
GREAT WELL THANK YOU FOR YOUR
KIND WORDS SENATOR APPRECIATED I
THINK I AM LOOKING AT THE COURSE
OF HIGHER ED OVER MY CAREER.
A CERTAINLY THING SEE THAT
THINGS ARE CHANGING AND EVOLVING
AND AS MY COLLEAGUE DISGUISED.
YOU KNOW WE HAD BUDGET ITEMS
RECENTLY ACROSS SEGMENTS FOR
HOMELESSNESS FOOD INSECURITY --
THOSE ARE NEW ISSUES THAT OUR
STUDENTS ARE EXPERIENCING ON
THAT WERE SEEKING TO ADDRESS
REAL TIME AND THROUGH POLICY
MAKING.
I ALSO THINK THAT THE NATURE OF
EDUCATION AS THE ECONOMY CHANGES
SO RAPIDLY.
ALSO AND NEEDS TO CHANGE AND BE
NIMBLE AND THAT CAN BE
UNCOMFORTABLE FOR PEOPLE
CANDIDLY.
THEY THINK NARAL ADMINISTRATION
HAD A PROPOSAL --
WHICH HAD SOME CONTROVERSY --
BUT THAT IS AN ATTEMPT TO GET AT
THIS ISSUE.
ON AND I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS
THAT THROUGHOUT HIGHER AD WE
NEED TO WORK ON IS TO BE MORE
NIMBLE. TO BE MORE NIMBLE IN
CREATING OUR COURSE OFFERINGS
AND OUR DEGREES TO BE RESPONSIVE
TO WHAT'S HAPPENING IN THE JOB
MARKET.
COURSE APPROVAL SHOULD NOT TAKE
TWENTY FOUR MONTHS THE JOB
MARKET HAS MOVED ON AND SO IN
ORDER WHAT WE NOW IS DURING THE
LAST RECESSION AND EDUCATIONAL
ATTAINMENT LEVEL WAS ONE OF THE
KEY INDICATORS OF HOW YOU DID IN
THE RECESSION AND WHETHER OR NOT
YOU BECAME UNEMPLOYED.
AND WHETHER OR NOT YOU COULD
WHETHER IT.
ON AND I THINK HIGHER EDUCATION
HAS A KEY ROLE TO PLAY AND
ENSURING THAT WE DO HIT THOSE
ROUGH ECONOMIC TIMES.
WE ARE CAN RETRAIN PEOPLE ON TO
ADJUST TO THE CHANGING ECONOMY
AND SO THAT'S REALLY MY GOAL IF
APPOINTED IS TO HELP FACILITATE
THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND
THOUGHTFULLY THINK THROUGH.
THE NEXT STOP FOR THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF
THE OVER TWO POINT ONE MILLION
STUDENTS THAT ARE SERVED BY OUR
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES WE
HAVE A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY.
TO MAKE A MEANINGFUL IMPACT FOR
A VAST MAJORITY HOME OF OUR
STUDENTS.
HERE'S SENATOR WILL.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
THE FORMER ARE AS A FORMER
COMMITTEE COLLEGE STUDENT AND
HAVING SERVED ON BOARD OF
TRUSTEES OF COMMUNICATION
DISTRICT FOR SIX YEARS.
AS SOMETHING A VERY PASSIONATE
ABOUT SO I CONGRATULATE ALL OF
YOU ON YOUR APPOINTMENT.
I JUST I THINK OF A JUST A
COUPLE GENERAL QUESTIONS THAT I
HAVE A SPECIFIC QUESTION FOR MS
COSTA WILL WHICH WILL CLOSE WITH.
IN TERMS OF WHAT ABOUT ACADEMIC
FREEDOM.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW THERE'S A WHOLE
THING ABOUT YOU KNOW FREEDOM
STOPS AT YOUR NOSE AND I THINK
WE ALL AGREE IN ACADEMIC FREEDOM.
BUT ACADEMIC FREEDOM HAS
ACTUALLY BEEN A STUMBLING BLOCK
FOR STUDENT SUCCESS.
I IF YOU'RE IN A PARTICULAR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT.
WE HAVE DIFFERENT COLLEGES THEY
ALL SET THEIR OWN STANDARDS SO
YOU CAN BE IN ONE COLLEGE WANTED
TRANSFER TO ANOTHER COLLEGE IN
THE SAME DISTRICT.
AND AND AND THEY WON'T ACCEPT IT.
AND SO I'M JUST CURIOUS IF YOU
HAVE THOUGHTS ON ACADEMIC FREE
OF FREEDOM IF YOU'D BE OPEN.
TO TWEET A TWEAKING THAT ALSO IS
NOT A BARRIER TO STUDENTS.
HARRIS I AM.
AN INCREASING MOVEMENT TOWARDS
GREATER COHESIVENESS AND
COOPERATION BETWEEN NOT ONLY THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WITH THEN A
PARTICULAR DISTRICT BUT AMONG
DISTRICTS.
I THINK IF YOU LOOK AT THINGS
LIKE THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE WHERE EVERYONE
STARTING TO CONTRIBUTE.
ON COURSES TOWARDS A CENTRALIZED
RESOURCE POOL ON THERE HAS TO BE
A CERTAIN LEVEL OF UNIFORMITY
AND A CERTAIN LEVEL OF
COOPERATIONBETWEEN THE COLLEGES.
IN ORDER TO INCREASE THAT THE
MOVEMENT BETWEEN AND THE
COLLEGES THAT YOU'RE REFERRING
TO AND HOPEFULLY.
THE ANDWELL --
AMONG THE COLLEGES WILL INCREASE
AS THERE'S MORE --
COLLABORATIVE PROGRESS I'D BE
ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR TRANSFER
IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE WHERE THERE
IS THIS INCREASING DIALOGUE
BETWEEN NOT ONLY THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES IN THE CS USE BUT
BETWEEN OUR OTHER PARTNERS AS AS
MY COLLEAGUE ON MS COSTA HAS
MENTIONED CELL.
A GREAT POINT [inaudible]
GREAT.
NEXT ONE AND I DON'T HAVE THE
ANSWER TO THIS.
MAYBE WITH YOUR EXPERTISE YOU DO
BUT CAN YOU LOOK AT COMMUTER
COLLEGES CAN DO BETTER WE CAN
ALL DO BETTER WHEN THE
FRUSTRATIONS THAT I HAVE.
IS STUDENT COMPLETION.
ODD BECAUSE I DON'T THINK THAT
WE GAUGE IT PROPERLY SO IF YOU
COME TO MY COMMUNICABLE AGE.
AND YOU'RE IN THE AUTO TECH
PROGRAM AND YOUR JOB IS TO GO
WORK AT THE LOCAL NISSAN
DEALERSHIP.
AND YOU'RE HALFWAY THROUGH THE
PROGRAM AND THEN YOU GET A JOB
THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP. FOR ME
THAT'S COMPLETION.
SACRAMENTO DING DINGS THE
COLLEGE --
MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT THE
PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE
CALIFORNIA IS DOING SOME OF
PROGRAM WITH THE STATE SO
THEY'RE GONNA START MATCHING
STUDENTS.
WITHOUT WITH UNEMPLOYMENT RECORD
SO MAYBE WE CAN TRACK IT THAT
WAY YOU'VE YOU HAVE THOUGHTS ON
ON STUDENT COMPLETION RATES SIR.
MAYBE THINGS WE CAN DO TO TO
MAKE TO MAKE IT BETTER
[inaudible]
WELL.
IT DEPENDS HOW YOU DEFINE
COMPLETION AND I THINK IN YOUR I
THINK IT I THINK THE STUDENT.
POPULATION NOT NOT US THAT'S
WHAT I'M SAYING.
BUT I'M BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW YOU
DO THAT I DON'T EVEN HAVE AN
ANSWER FOR I JUST KNOW THAT IT'S
IT'S FRUSTRATING.
WHEN YOU I'D BE THERE AND I MET
ALL THE STUDENTS WHO LIGHTS WERE
TRANSFORMED BY HAVING GONE TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND GOT OUT
AND GOT A JOB IN WHAT THEY WANT
TO DO?
YET BY SACRAMENTO STANDARDS THAT
THE COLLEGE FAILED.
I THINK IF YOU'LL LOOK AT
COMPLETION AS DEFINED BY --
A STUDENT WHO TAKES CTE COURSES --
VAN EMPLOYMENT AT THAT
DEALERSHIP WOULD BE CONSIDERED
COMPLETION BUT THERE ARE OTHER
STUDENTS WHO SEEK TO OBTAIN A
TRANSFER TO A DEGREE AND
POSSIBLY WANT TO SET A MORE LONG
TERM.
PLAN FOR WHAT THEIR THEIR
PROFESSIONAL LIFE WILL BE LIKE
IN A NOT SENSE IT WOULD NOT BE
CONSIDERED COMPLETION.
SO I'M IN NOT SENSE THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES FOR FILL A
TWO FOLD ROLL A TWO FOLD RURAL
ONE IS WHETHER YOU WANT TO GET
EMPLOYED --
ANNA MORE CAREER TRADE SENSE AT
THE END OF YOUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE EXPERIENCE IN THE OTHER
ONE IS WHETHER YOU WANT TO SEEK
TRANSFER.
SO ON THE SECOND UMBERLEIGH
WOULDN'T BE CONSIDERED
COMPLETION AND I THINK --
THAT WE SHOULD LOOK AT THE
SOONER WE CAN I ADD I ACTUALLY
YEAH AM I UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING AND I I THINK THERE'S YOU
KNOW TWO SIDES OF THIS I DO
AGREE ESPECIALLY WITH WHAT'S
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW AFTER A
NATURAL DISASTER.
THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT
WANT TO GO BACK THERE IN THE
HOSPITALITY BUSINESS THAT WANT
TO ENHANCE WITH. TWO COURSES ARE
THREE COURSES TO GO AHEAD AND
MAYBE YOU KNOW AND JOB I
TRANSFERRED JOB WITHIN AN
ORGANIZATION WHERE THEY KNOW IF
THEY TAKE AN ACCOUNTING CLASS.
THEY MAY BE ABLE TO GO AHEAD AND
MOVE WITHIN THEIR OWN
ORGANIZATION OR THEY WANT TO DO
A LATERAL TO ANOTHER INDUSTRY
AND THEY HAVE A VERY CLEAR TO
FIND.SAX ERA OF SUBJECT MATTER THAT
THEY WANT TO GO AHEAD AND ADD TO
THEIR OWN INDIVIDUAL RESUME.
AND I DO THINK THAT WHEN A
STUDENT OPS TO GO AHEAD AND DO
THAT THEY SHOULDN'T BE PENALIZED
THEIR COLLEGE SHOULDN'T BE
PENALIZED WHEN THAT DOES OCCUR.
GREAT THANK YOU.
I MISS MISS CROSS IT TALKED
ABOUT THE IMPROVEMENTS SENSOR AT
SP FOURTEEN FORTY WHICH I AGREE
WITH. ONE OF MY FRUSTRATIONS
THAT LIKE TO SEE YOU GUYS.
WAY AND GET THE LAW CHANGED WE
HAVE THE 50% RULE SO 50% OF THE
MONEY NEEDS TO GO TO YOU KNOW.
CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION IT
CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION SHOULD BE
BROADENED TO INCLUDE --
LIBRARIANS VERTICALLY INCLUDE
COUNSELORS IF YOU DO THE MATH.
YOU FOR EVERY STUDENT FOR VERY
KELSO THERE'S ONE THOUSAND FOUR
HUNDRED EIGHTY STUDENTS TO DO
THE MATH YOU GET TO SEE A
COUNSELOR ABOUT WHAT.
ONCE EVERY YEAR AND A HALF AND
WHEN YOU NEED TO HAVE AN
EDUCATION PLAN TO MOVE UP THE
PRIORITY LIST REGISTRATION THAT
AS MAKES SENSE.
I THINK WE WERE UNDER RESOURCE
THERE I DID TRY TO CARRY BILL
FIVE YEARS AGO AND GOT HELD UP
AN APPROACH I HAVEN'T DONE IT
SINCE BUT I'D LIKE I'D LIKE TO
TAKE A TAKE ANOTHER RUN AT THAT
BECAUSE I THINK THAT WOULD
BENEFIT ALL OVER STUDENTS.
JUST WONDERING BECAUSE ANY
THOUGHTS ON WELL ONE THING I
WOULD OFFER ANOTHER INITIATIVE
IS THE AND THE STUDENT PATHWAYS
UP PROGRAM WHICH IS TRYING TO
REDUCE THE COMPLEXITY.
OF UNDERSTANDING WHAT COURSES
YOU NEED TO TAKE TO ACTUALLY GET
WHATEVER YOUR GOAL IS WHETHER
THAT'S A CT C CERTIFICATE OR
DEGREE.
AND SO I DO THINK AND IF WE MAKE
IT A LITTLE LESS COMPLEX FOR
STUDENTS AND FAMILIES TO
NAVIGATE THE SYSTEM.
ON ON THE NATURAL A COULD REDUCE
ON THE TOTAL NEED FOR COUNSELING
THAT YOU MEAN BECAUSE CANDIDLY
WHAT I HEAR A LOT IS THAT
FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING TO
UNDERSTAND WHILE I NEED.
I CAN ONLY TAKE THIS COURSE IT'S
NOT OFFERED IN THIS ACADEMIC
TERM WHAT DO I DO AND SO I THINK
THAT -- THAT
THE CHANCES OFFICES WORK TO KIND
OF MAKE THAT AND MORE AND EASILY
NAVIGATE HERBAL EXPERIENCE AND
SO I DO THINK.
THAT BETWEEN NOT AND FUNDING
FORMULA SOME OF THE WORKLOAD
THAT IS HAPPENING IS IN THE
MIDDLE OF CHANGING RIGHT NOW AT
OUR CAMPUSES.
AND SO I'M WE SHOULD BE MINE.
AGES AND HOPEFULLY[inaudible]
PROOF THAT CAN MAKE FOR STUDENTS --
AND GETTING TO YOUR EARLIER
POINT AND REALLY MAKING SURE I
THINK WE CAN DO BETTER ON
COMPLETION THINK YOU HAVE A
GREAT POINT ABOUT HOW WE DEFINE
COMPLETION.
BUT I ALSO THINK IN THE VISION
FOR SUCCESS DOCUMENT IT'S CLEAR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
CAN AND SHOULD DO BETTER OUR
WITH OUR COMPLETION RATES AND A
THINK YOU KNOW FOR CERTAIN
PROGRAMS SUCH AS SKILL BUILDING.
WE HAVE.
TO REALLY HAVE A CONVERSATION
ABOUT HOW TO DEFINE SUCCESS.
AND IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE
TO BE IN AT T. THAT'S THE BEAUTY
OF COMMUNITY COLLEGES THEY OFFER
MANY DIFFERENT PATHWAYS FOR MANY
DIFFERENT PEOPLE.
ON BUT HOPEFULLY ALL OF THOSE
PATHWAYS ARE PROVIDING
OPPORTUNITY AND ECONOMIC
MOBILITY FOR THE STUDENTS AND
THEIR FAMILIES GREAT. ONE FINAL
QUESTION JUST FOR YOU MISS COSTA.
WHEN YOU WILL BE SETTING UP HERE
SAID IT DOWN THERE?
WILL YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'RE BEING
SPUN [inaudible]
GOSH.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE BEEN.
I WOULDN'T KNOW I DON'T SPEND.
THAT YOU'RE FUNNY.
I DON'T I DON'T.
KNOW IF THAT'S A LOOK AT THE
LESS NICE WAY OF OF INSIDER
MINING OF SAYING SHE DOES A GOOD
JOB WHEN SHE COMES IT PRESENTS
THE BUDGET OUTSIDE [inaudible]
POINT TAKEN --
AT THIS TIME --
AND COLLEAGUES THANK YOU.
FOR MISTER RAHUL YES YOU MAY.
THE YOU KNOW WE WE TALK A LOT
ABOUT COMPLETION IN GRADUATION
RATES AND I'LL ASK YOU A
QUESTION I'VE ASKED SOME OF OUR
FRIENDS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA AND AND THAT IS HOW
HOW DO YOU MEASURE AND I REALIZE
YOU'RE NOT ON THE FRONT LINES AT
THE STATE.
CHANCES OFFICE NECESSARILY BUT
HOW DO YOU MEASURE WHETHER
YOU'VE MET YOUR CUSTOMER'S
EXPECTATIONS --
DO WE HAVE THE ABILITY.
TO TERMIN WHETHER OUR GRADUATES
IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM
GET THE JOB THEY WANT AT THE PAY
LEVEL THEY EXPECT.
AND IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT
THAT WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE
MEASURE MAYBE A LITTLE LESS SO
AT THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE LEVEL
THAN AT THE C. ISSUE AND YOU SEE
BUT MAYBE NOT DEPENDING ON THE
PROGRAM.
AND IS THERE A WAY TO DO THAT
AND HOW DO WE GET THERE.
UNPLUGGED TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
SENATOR --
AT LEAST IN THE THE VETERAN
SPACE THAT HAS BECOME --
A VERY COMPLEX AND AND VERY
HEATED ISSUE I HOW DO YOU
MEASURE SUCCESS AND HOW DO YOU
DETERMINE WHETHER A VETERAN
COMING THROUGH YOUR PROGRAM
UNEMPLOYMENT PROGRAM.
WHERE EDUCATION PROGRAM HAS
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED THAT
PROGRAM? ONE THING WE'VE DONE
AND THIS ACTUALLY IS BEING DONE
AT SOME OF THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES THAT WERE WORKING WITH.
IS THEY WILL TRACK THE VETERANS --
FOR THREE SIX AND TWELVE MONTHS
POST GRADUATION --
ONCE THE VETERAN IS PLACED INTO
A JOB EVEN BEFORE HE GRADUATES
THAT VETERANS ACTUALLY CONNECTED
TO A LOCAL ORGANIZATION THAT CAN
HELP THEM FIND THE EMPLOYMENT OF
HEALTH.
HER FIND EMPLOYMENT I THAT WILL --
COMPLEMENT THE EDUCATION. ONE
THAT VETERAN IS TRACKED THAT
INDIVIDUALS TRACK FOR UP TO A
YEAR AND THEY CAN GIVE YOU
INFORMATION ON THE POSITION
PROMOTIONS THE SALARY --
AND THE TYPE OF SECTOR THAT THAT
VETERAN ACTUALLY WENT INTO --
WE CAN TAKE THAT SAME MODEL
OBVIOUSLY AT A MUCH GREATER
SCALE AND TRY TO OP --
APPLY TO WHAT WE'RE DOING AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM THAT
THE OTHER DAY THE GRADUATION IS
NOT THE END POINT.
THE GRADUATION OF THE STARTING
POINT IN --
AND IN SOMEONE'S CAREER IF WE
CAN --
FOLLOW THAT INDIVIDUAL FOR
CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME TO MAKE
SURE THAT.
WHATEVER THAT INDIVIDUAL WANTS
SCHOOL --
FOR IS.
WHAT HE OR SHE RECEIVED ALL GOT
A JOB IN AND HOW SUCCESSFUL THAT
WAS -- THAT
WILL GIVE US MORE INFORMATION IN
TERMS OFHOW WE ARE DOING AS A
SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
EDUCATING AND REPLACING THEM
INTO CAREER FIELDS THAT WILL.
HELP THEM PROVIDE FOR THEIR
FAMILIES WELL I HOPE WE CAN
SCALE THAT UP AND I THINK THAT'S
A GOOD EFFORT WE DO CONTROL THE
FRANCHISE TAX BOARD INCOME TAX
FORMS ARE FILED.
SO FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO WORK
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA --
MOVE MY RECOLLECTION IS YOU
PROBABLY LISTEN OCCUPATION ON AN
INCOME TAX RETURN.
WE CERTAINLY HAVE --
W. -- TO IN
INCOME THAT YOU WE HAVE TO
FIGURE OUT A WAY BOTH NOT ONLY
IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES BUT
THE UC'S IN THE C. ISSUES. TO
CONNECT THE DOTS AND THE KEY.
DEVELOPS A MEANINGFUL DATA TO
DETERMINE WHETHER YOUR PROGRAMS.
ARE THE ONES THAT PEOPLE WANT
AND SUCCEED IN.
IT WOULD BE A GOOD WAY TO
EVALUATE IT SYSTEM WIDE A THANK
YOU MADAM CHAIR FOR YOUR
INDULGENCE I JUST WANTED TO ASK
A QUESTION.
ABSOLUTELY THIS IS THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO ASK THOSE
QUESTIONS.

STATEMENT WHICH US ON MY
COLLEAGUES THAT HAVE SERVED ON
THE RULES COMMITTEE BEFORE HAVE
HEARD.
IN AYE THE INSTANCE OF MISS OF
SOLANO I WANTED TO JUST SAY I'VE
BEEN ADVISED BY COUNSEL THAT
IT'S UNNECESSARY.
I THAT I'VE STAINED BUT OUT OF
AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION I'M
CHOOSING TO ABSTAIN FROM THIS
CONFIRMATION VOTE FOR HER IN
PARTICULAR.
AYE BECAUSE SHE HAS A LONG
STANDING RELATIONSHIP.
A WITH A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
WITH MY SPOUSE AND I THINK
PERCEPTION MATTERS.
AND I CERTAINLY INDIVIDUALLY
DON'T WANT TO DO ANYTHING TO
DISTRACT FROM THE IMPORTANCE OF
THIS VOTE AND FROM THESE
CANDIDATES.

BRING YOUR HOME SO TO SPEAK --
IT'S ALSO FOR ME --
IT'S SHOCKING THAT IT WAS FIVE
YEARS AGO THAT I CAME BEFORE AT
THIS COMMITTEE AFTER MY
CONFIRMATION AS DIRECTOR OF
FINANCE IN THAT TIME.
I'M VERY PROUD OF THE WORK WE'VE
DONE TOGETHER IN TERMS OF MAKING
HIGHER EDUCATION MORE INNOVATIVE
MORE COST EFFECTIVE.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY I THINK
MOST MORE STUDENT FOCUSED --
AND I CERTAINLY LOOK FORWARD TO
THE OPPORTUNITY ON THE BOARD OF
REGENTS TO CONTINUE THAT WORK I
THINK THOSE ARE THE PRIMARY
GOALS.
AND WHAT I'M I'M MOST LOOKING
FORWARD [inaudible]
TO THANK YOU [inaudible]
THE LINE.
THANK YOU --
MADAM CHAIR OF MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE I'M CECILIA SOLANO.
A I AM REALLY HONORED TO BE --
I UP FOR DISAPPOINTMENT OR THINK

OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE TO SERVE
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA I'VE
HAD THE DISTINCT PLEASURE.
OF SERVING FOR ABOUT FOUR AND A
HALF YEARS ON THE COMMITTEE
COLLEGE BOARD OF GOVERNORS KNOWS
YOU'RE ASKING THE QUESTIONS I
HAD TO KEEP MYSELF IN THE CHAIR
FROM ANSWERING ANOTHER --
BUT IT'S A TERRIFIC SLATE OF NEW
BOARD OF GOVERNORS MEMBERS OF
BUT I'M DELIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ON
THE UC BOARD OF REGENTS I'M A
PRODUCT.
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
OF MY FAMILY WENT FROM WORKING
CLASS TO PROFESSIONAL CLASS IN
ONE GENERATION BECAUSE OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
A I AM.
I HAVE SO MANY IDEAS IN WHICH SO
MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT WHAT WE CAN
DO. TO BETTER SERVE THE PEOPLE
OF CALIFORNIA ON THE UC BOARD OF
REGENTS.
I'M VERY INTERESTED IN MAKING
SURE.
THAT WE EXPAND.
CAPACITY AT THE UC ON IT'S A
VERY TINY PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE
TO GET TO ATTEND THAT ARE
QUALIFIED YOU SEE AND IF THERE'
WAYS THAT WE CAN DO THIS.
INNOVATIVE WAYS OF LEVERAGING
RESOURCES RESOURCES WITH PLACES
LIKE ME COLLEGES THAT MAY HAVE
CAPACITY.
I DO THAT USING TECHNOLOGY WE
SHOULD DO THAT.
SECONDLY I REALLY WANT TO HOLD
THE COST OF THE UC EDUCATION
STUDY.
A WE HAD SUCH STEEP INCREASES
FOR UNDERSTANDABLE REASONS GIVEN
THE RECESSION BUT WE MUST DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE SURE
THAT'S AFFORDABLE ACCESSIBLE AND
IT'S AND THEN LASTLY.
I REALLY WANT TO SEE IS LEVERAGE.
THIS TREMENDOUS ECONOMIC ENGINE
BUT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
REPRESENTS AN ANY EVERY
COMMUNITY IN WHICH WE HAVE A
CAMPUS.
IT IS THE ENGINE.
FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
INNOVATION GROWTH AND JUST
EMPOWERMENT AND FROM EVERYTHING
FROM OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
TO THE WAY WE SPEND OUR CAPITAL
DOLLARS IN THE WAY WE SPEND OUR
PROCUREMENT DOLLARS UNIVERSAL
CALIFORNIA CAN HAVE A POSITIVE
IMPACT.
ALL MATERIAL WELL BEING AND IN
FACT THE ENVIRONMENTAL WELL
BEING OF THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA SO I'M VERY
INTERESTED IN MAKING SURE WE ARE
INTENTIONAL ABOUT THE FOOTPRINT
WE LEAVE IN THE COMMUNITIES IN
WHICH WERE LOCATED.
AGAIN I WANT TO THANK THE
GOVERNOR FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY OR
THINK THE STAFF REVIEW COMMITTEE
GIVEN THE CHANCE TO SHARE MY
VIEWS WITH YOU LAST WEEK.
AND I WANTED BUT YOU KNOW I HAVE
A FULL ON POLICY WITH ME TODAY.
I HAVE MY LOVELY WIFE CATHERINE
PRESENCE DELANO WITHOUT.
MY STEPDAUGHTER'S ANTONIO
MUSSINA MY SISTERS GLORIA AND IS
A DOLLAR IN THE AUDIENCE AND MY
BROTHER IN LAW RUBEN IS IN THE
AUDIENCE.

THE WAY THEY THANK YOU
[inaudible] ONE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH --
MADAM PRESIDENT AND SENATORS AS
WELL AS SENT STAFF I REALLY
APPRECIATE THE OUR HONOR.
AND A PRIVILEGE TO BE HERE TODAY
I WANT TO START OFF I GUESS BY
INTRODUCING MY WIFE OF TWENTY
EIGHT YEARS I SHARON ROSEN LEAVE
WHO'S OVER HERE WAVING.
HOPEFULLY --
AND SHARON IS ALSO A GRADUATE
FROM UC BERKELEY AS WELL AS UCLA
LAW SCHOOL SHE WAS A DEPUTY
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
AND SHE ACTUALLY ARGUE TWO CASES
BEFORE THE CALIFORNIA SUPREME
COURT SO SHE'S THAT YOU MIGHT BE
MAKING A CASE FOR US.
TO A GO AHEAD MISTER KNOW
WHETHER I WOULD ACCEPT THAT SHE
HATES MEETINGS.
OTHERWISE SHE'D BE YOU KNOW
RIGHT UP THERE --
I DO WANT TO THANK ARM THE
GOVERNOR FOR MAKING THIS
APPOINTMENT IT'S BEEN SOMETHING.
THAT I HAVE BEEN INTERESTED IN
SO LONG FOR SO LONG WHEN I
GROWING UP IN LOS ANGELES --
WITH A MOM A DIVORCED MOM WITH A
AND A SISTER EDUCATION WAS A
CENTERPIECE OF OUR COMMUNITY --
AT MY MOM WAS AN ENGLISH TEACHER
AT VENICE HIGH SCHOOL IN LOS
ANGELES.
AND DO WE STRUGGLED OF FOR
AWHILE GOING THROUGH TWO
DIVORCES THAT MY MOM WENT
THROUGH --
BUT EDUCATION IS ALWAYS A
CENTERPIECE AND THE UC WAS
SOMETHING THAT SHE REALLY.
WORK DRILLED INTO ME AT A YOUNG
AGE.
IT IS YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT SHE
WOULD SAY THE PUBLIC EDUCATION
IS THE GREAT EQUALIZER.
AND IT WAS A REALLY WONDERFUL --
MENTOR TO HAVE AS MY MOM DOING
THAT IT SHOULD BE SO PROUD TODAY --
AND WHAT I WANT TO DO YOU KNOW
TODAY WHEN WHEN I WAS GOING
THROUGH WHAT I'M GOING TO
GROWING UP I'M YOU KNOW.
COLLEGE WAS STILL SOMEWHAT
AFFORDABLE TODAY IT'S SO MUCH
HARDER.
SO MANY PEOPLE TO GO TO COLLEGE.
THE SITUATION I WAS IN.
I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
REALLY PIECE OF THE MONEY
TOGETHER PROBABLY TO DO THIS.
SO MY GOALS IN COMING TO A HERE
AND ORKING ON THIS OVER THE
NEXT AS A REGENT.
WOULD REALLY BE TO INCREASE
ACCESSIBILITY UMMAH DE AND
REDUCE THE INCREASE ACCESS AS
WELL AS DOING EVERYTHING I CAN
TO MAKE COLLEGE MORE AFFORDABLE
AND IT'S NOT JUST TUITION IT'S
ALSO.
OF THE FOOD HOUSING ALL THE
OTHER IS TOUGH ISSUES TO DEAL
WITH.
AND I KNOW THAT IT'S GOING TO
TAKE A LOT OF BRAIN POWER AND
AND PUSHING FOR IT BUT I BELIEVE
WE CAN DO THAT.
I ALSO ON HOPE THAT IN THE TIME
I HAVE A AS A REGION IF I'M
LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE A CONFIRMED.
IS TRYING TO COME UP WITH SOME
STABLE A LONG TERM FINANCING.
AND THAT'S SOMETHING I WOULD
REALLY -- BE
WANTING TO WORK ON SO I DID YOU
KNOW I'M HOPING TO BRING WITH ME.
TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE
IN BUSINESS I CO FOUNDED TO
BUSINESSES DATA OVER THE LAST
TWENTY FIVE YEARS A WITH THREE
OTHER PARTNERS.
ARE BUT ALSO DURING THAT TIME
SERVICE SIX YEARS ON THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS INCLUDING PRESIDENTE
IN TWO THOUSAND AND TWO TWO
THOUSAND FOUR AS WELL AS BEING
ELECTED TO A LOCAL.
SCHOOL BOARD WHICH HAD BEEN ON
FOR THE LAST TEN YEARS SO
EDUCATION HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY
PRIMARY INTEREST.
AND I REALLY REALLY WANT TO
CONTINUE TO WORKING ON THAT SO
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ALL VERY MUCH I'M
GONNA ASK MISTER MONNING IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO START.
YOU MADAM CHAIR AND THANK YOU
ALL FOR JOINING US
CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU
FOR TAKING THE TIME I HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY.
TO MEET WITH ALL OF YOU AND I
THINK ONE OF MY TAKEAWAYS FROM
EARLIER MEETINGS WAS.
A UNANIMOUS AMONG THE THREE OF
YOU.
A PORT FOR THE IMPORTANCE OF
SPAN THAT ACCESS AND SUSTAINABLE
ACCESS -- TO
ARE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM.
A I WANTED TO EXPLORE --
A LOT WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR BUDGET.
SHORT OF OUR INABILITY TO FIND
AT THE LEVEL WE HAD LIKE AT ALL
LEVELS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
UNDER GOVERNOR BROWN I THINK
WE'VE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB
PRIORITIZING.
EDUCATION AND HIGHER EDUCATION
BUT THE NEED.
IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN THAT OUR
CAPACITY.
IN SO MANY --
IN RESPONDING TO HOW WE DEAL
WITH BRIDGING GAPS.
TALK ABOUT PUBLIC PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIPS IN ENGAGING PRIVATE
SECTOR IN MORE PHILANTHROPIC OR
OTHER TYPES OF GIVING TO THE
UNIVERSITY HERE OTHER HIGHER
EDUCATION BUT SPECIFICALLY WITH
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
[inaudible]
HALLOWEEN ENHANCE INCENTIVIZE
THOSE PARTNERSHIPS.
WITHOUT ALLOWING THOSE THAT
MIGHT BE IN A POSITION TO DIRECT
[inaudible]
RESOURCES UNIVERSITY FROM ALSO
DIRECTING THE MISSION --
OR THE PRIORITIES TO THE
UNIVERSITY AS A PUBLIC
INSTITUTION.
I THINK IT'S PRIMARY COMMITMENT
IS TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS WHO MEET THE
GRADE AND TRANSFER STUDENTS.
ARM IN THAT THE MISSION SHOULD
BE.
THAT PUBLICCOMMISSION AND NOT
ONE THAT CAN BE DIRECTED.
BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF
SOMEBODY'S BANK BOOK TO MAKE A
GENEROUS CONTRIBUTION.
BUT WE'VE SEEN IN THE PAST IT'S
BEEN LITIGATION IN THE PAST.
ABOUT CONTRIBUTIONS PARTICULARLY
THE UC DIRECTING RESEARCH OF YOU
SEE THE BENEFIT.
THAT PRIVATE SECTOR A
CONTRIBUTOR SO HOW DO WE
ENCOURAGE THAT PARTICIPATION
WHILE PROTECTING OUR MISSION.
THURMOND THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION
BECAUSE AS THE PREMIER PUBLIC
UNIVERSITY IN THE WORLD WITH A
TREASURE TROVE OF INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY.
STORE NEARLY VALUABLE REAL
ESTATE ASSETS.
AND AND REALLY JUST SIGNATURE
PLACE IN EACH OF THESE
COMMUNITIES.
OF UNIVERSAL CALIFORNIA'S NEEDS
IN A POSITION REALLY IS THAT --
SO HOW DO WE DO THIS WE HAVE A
CLEAR MISSION IT'S INCOME
AND THE REGION'S IT'S OUR
RESPONSIBILITY.
TO INSURE THAT THE PRESIDENT AND
THE CHANCES THE CAMPUSES
MAINTAIN THAT MISSION AND ARE
CLEAR ON THAT.
I THINK JUST THE THREE MEMBERS
HERE TODAY --
HAVE A VARIETY OF BUSINESS AND
FINANCE EXPERIENCE I THINK JUST
HAVING.
BOTH THE BRIEF EXPERIENCE
TALKING TO RICH AND WHAT I KNOW
OF HIM AND CERTAINLY KNOWING
MICHAEL COHEN.
THESE ARE FOLKS WERE ALL PEOPLE
WHO S. REALLY DIFFICULT
QUESTIONS.
WE DRILL DOWN INTO DETAILS WERE
NOT EASILY.
CLINT LAMP AROUND CONTRIBUTIONS
WE UNDERSTAND THE MISSION OF OF
THE ORGANIZATION.
SO I THINK WHAT WE DO WHATEVER
WE EMBARK ON NEWSTRUCTURES PART
I KNOW REAL ESTATE WELL.
IS WE HAVE TO BE VERY VERY CLEAR
OUR PURPOSE AND WHAT WE WILL AND
WILL NOT DO.
BEFORE WE SET FORTH ON NEW.
MEANS THE PROJECT DELIVERY
THAT'S ESSENTIAL THAT WE ARE
CLEAR IF WE'RE GONNA TRY TO
DELIVER CERTAIN NUMBER STUDENT
BEDS BY A CERTAIN TIME FRAME.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE DOING BUT WHAT
WE ARE NOT GOING TO DO IS TO
JEOPARDIZE THE MISSION AND THE
POTENTIAL GROWTH OF THE CAMPUS
LATER SO I THINK WE HAVE TO PLAY
THAT SAME DISCIPLINE.
WHEN WE GO INTO --
PARTNERSHIPS ROUND RESEARCH.
I'M NOT A SCIENTIST.
BUT I KNOW THAT THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN
RESPONSIBLE FOR CREATING A WHOLE
NEW INDUSTRIES.
WHOLE NEW LINES OF RESEARCH.
I'D LIKE TO SEE US LEVERAGE BUT
THE VALUE OF THAT INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY.
I'M CERTAINLY PRIVATE
INSTITUTIONS STANFORD PRINCE IS
RIGHT OR BACKYARDS HAS DONE AN
EXCELLENT JOB OF GROWING ITS
ENDOWMENT.
BY TAPPING IN. TO THE
COMMERCIALIZATION OF ITS IP.
AS I UNDERSTAND IT AND I'M NEW
TO THE REGION'S ABOUT TEN DAYS
NOW -- AS I
UNDERSTAND IT EACH INDIVIDUAL
CAMPUS HAS ITS OWN POLICIES I
THINK IT'S AN APPROPRIATE ROLE
FOR THE REGION'S SENATE GENERAL
DIRECTION. TO OVERSEE THAT AND
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT
FALLING PREY TO THE TEMPTATION
OF HAVING.
RESEARCH DRIVEN RESULTS DRIVEN
RESEARCH THAT MAY DEVIATE FROM
THE MISSION OF OF OUR UNIVERSITY.
WE HOLD THE PUBLIC TRUST.
AND IF WE EVER LOSE THAT
PARTICULAR IN A RESEARCH CONTEXT.
WE CANNOT IMAGINE THAT THE
PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA WILL
CONTINUE TO INVEST THE RESOURCES
AND SO I I I APPRECIATE YOUR
QUESTION.
AND THE SUBTLE ADMONITION. TO
PAY ATTENTION [inaudible]
Q..
MAINTENANCE ANYWAY THING I CAN
SAY THAT'S A BRILLIANT ANSWER
AND I HAVEN'T HAD THECHANCE TO
REALLY FOCUS ON THAT ISSUE AS
MUCH.
I DO KNOW THAT --
WE ARE LOOKING FOR STABLE
FINANCING WE NEED TO DO THAT BUT
AT THE SAME TIME WE'RE NOT
SELLING OFF PIECE OF THE
UNIVERSITY PRIVATE SECTOR.
AND I THINK WE JUST HAVE TO
ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THAT THE
UNIVERSITY HAS A SPECIAL ROLE
AND ITS A PUBLIC INSTITUTION SO
THERE ARE LIMITS TO WHAT ONE CAN
DO.
AND YOU KNOW FRANKLY I JUST KIND
OF SEEM THAT IN SOME OF THE
PRIVATE SCHOOLS.
OF THEY SOLD OFF THEIR EVERY
BUILDING POSSIBLE --
AND I THINK THAT WE HAVE TO JUST
BE MUCH MORE CAREFUL ABOUT THAT
WE ARE PUBLIC INSTITUTION.
AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
WE WOULD FOCUS THINKING RECYCLE
JUST BRIEFLY TO ADD A SPECIFIC
EXAMPLE OF WHERE THE REGION'S
NEED TO SORT OF PUT THIS IN
ACTION IS THE PUBLIC PRIVATE
PARTNERSHIP.
THAT'S SO IMPORTANT TO THE BUILD
OUT OF UC MERCED THEM MERCED
TWENTY TWENTY PLAN IS A REALLY
CREATIVE INNOVATIVE FINANCING
MECHANISM TO TRY TO ADDRESS SORT
F THE LACK OF FINANCING THAT'S
OTHERWISE AVAILABLE AND IT'S NOW
INCUMBENT UPON THE REGION'S TO
REALLY EXERCISE THAT OVERSIGHT.
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAMPUS.
BUILDS OUT THE WAY IT WAS
INTENDED AND SORT OF PROVIDES
THE OPPORTUNITY TO TRANSFORM THE
CENTRAL VALLEY THAT REALLY --
OFFERS THE PROMISE --
OF MERCED THAT'S REALLY THE
POINT OF THE CAMPUS AND SO
THAT'S KIND OF ON US TO OUT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THAT EXAMPLE IS
KIND OF UP HONESTLY AND
FAITHFULLY EXECUTED --
WITHIN THE TERMS OF THAT THE
CONTRACT WITH THANK YOU AND I
APPRECIATE THINK MRS TAWNY'S THE
TERM.
EXERCISING DISCIPLINE AND I
THINK WHEN ANY INSTITUTION.
FACES THE CHALLENGE UNITS.
BALANCING ITS BOOKS ACHIEVING
ITS FINANCIAL OBJECTIVES.
IF SOMEBODY COMES ALONG THE LURE
IS.
SATISFY THAT NEED TO AND I THINK
AGAIN IN THE PUBLIC TRUST --
MISSUS LANA TALL CALLED MAYBE AN
ADMONITION OR OR A REMINDER THAT
THIS HAS TO BE IN THE FOREFRONT
PARTICULARLY IN THE BOARD OF
REGENTS.
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT LOOKS
REALLY GOOD.
ARM.
ARE THERE STRINGS ATTACHED --
I THINK WE SHOULD BE.
CAPITALIZING FOR LACK OF A
BETTER WORD ON OUR IP ARE AND
WHAT WE ARE PRODUCING OUT OF OUR
UNIVERSITIES.
THAT THAT'S NOT SHARED IS AS
PART OF OUR PUBLIC ANNA.
COMMITMENT IN THEN CAPITALIZED
ON BY BY SOMEBODY ELSE I JUST
ADD ONE THING BECAUSE I I WANT
TO ASK TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COIN THAT
I THINK IS.
IS REALLY SUCCESSFUL I LOOK AT
SAN DIEGO WHICH I LIVE NEAR THE
UCSD CAMPUS AND TWENTY YEARS AGO
OR THIRTY YEARS AGO IT WAS A
SLEEPY.
TOWN WITHOUT MUCH INDUSTRY THERE.
THE UC SAN DIEGO.
TRANSFORM TO VACUUM UNITY.
AND DOCTOR THE TURBIE AND DOCTOR
JACOBS STARTED A COMPANY CALLED
QUALCOMM BUT ACTUALLY WE HAD
STARTED ONE EARLIER THEY WERE
BOTH PROFESSORS AT UCSD.
THEY STARTED A COUPLE OF
COMPANIES BUT WHAT HAPPENED WAS
A HUNDRED AND FIFTY COMPANIES.
ACTUALLY SPRUNG UP BECAUSE THEY
WANTED TO BE NEAR.
ALL THAT SO THE WHOLE INDUSTRIES
THE WHOLE COMMUNITY SPRUNG UP
AND IT CHANGED THE ECONOMIC --
MARKET THERE IN MATTER OF FACT
WHAT WE HAVE NOW AND SEE IN IN
OUR AREA OF SAN DIEGO OR CLEAN
TECH HIGH PAYING JOBS.
AND ALL THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA THEY WERE THE ONES
THAT THE VET TRANSFORMATION AND
I'M HOPING.
THAT WE DO THAT IN MERCED.
I THINK THAT'S THE NEXT PLACE
WHERE I THINK IF YOU START NOW
AND YOU WORK TOWARDS THAT YOU'LL
GET THAT KIND OF INNOVATION.
AND THAT --
SORT OF ENTREPRENEUR.
REALLY SUCCESS IN DIFFERENT
REGIONS OF THE STATE THAT WE
NEED TO DO THANK YOU AND I CAN.
TESTIFY THAT MY DISTRICT UC
SANTA CRUZ HAS BEEN A
TRANSFORMATIVE ECONOMIC ENGINE
IN HIGHER EDUCATION IN GENERAL
THROUGHOUT MY DISTRICT. TO SEE
ISSUES AND SEVEN COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ARM IN THEY DO.
BRING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
INTELLECTUAL DEVELOPMENT TO THE
COMMUNITIES --
AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SATELLITE
SCHOOLS FROM ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS --
UP THROUGH HIGH SCHOOLS ON IN
MADAM CHAIR JUST A FINAL
QUESTION FOR ME IF I MIND WE DID
DISCUSS THIS SOME BUT I THINK.
A IN SO MUCH OF THE CHARGE IS
THE NOT SOME BOLTS OF OPERATION
AN ADAPTATION.
BUT IN THIS ERA.
OF PROTECTING FIRST AMENDMENT
RIGHTS AND FREE SPEECH RIGHTS ON
OUR CAMPUSES.
CONTINUES TO BE A PRIORITY BUT
ONE THAT'S BEING TESTED.
BY THOSE WHO.
SEEK ACCESS TO OUR UNIVERSITIES
SOMETIMES WITH THE INTENTION OF
PROVOKING NOT ONLY CONTROVERSY
AROUND WORDS BUT SOMETIMES
PROVOKING.
VIOLENCE THROUGH THE USE OF
HATEFUL WORDS OR RACIST WORDS
WERE SEXIST WORDS.
ON HOW DO WE STRIKE THAT BALANCE
WHAT'S THE APPROPRIATE ROLE OF
THE REGENTS IN PROTECTING
STUDENT FACULTY SAFETY.
WHILE THE SAME TIME PROTECTING.
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS NOT JUST
OF VISITORS BUT OF STUDENTS AND
FACULTY MEMBERS AS WELL.
THINK BASED ON OUR CONVERSATION
YOU'VE YOU FRAME DID I VERY WELL
AND THERE'S NO EASY ANSWER TO IT
IT'S SOMETHNG THAT --
THE SENATE IS STRUGGLING WITH
THE LEGISLATURE AS A WHOLE THE
REGION SEEM TO STRUGGLE WITH IT
AND IDEALLY --
WITH THAT HAPPENS SORT OF IN
ALIGNMENT SO THAT WE'RE NOT ALL
OFF IN OUR OWN LITTLE CORNERS
THINKING ABOUT THE SAME THINGS
AND NOT COORDINATING --
IT SO IT'S NOT AN EASY ANSWER
ONLY TO SAY THAT YOU OBVIOUSLY
NEED TO BALANCE FREE SPEECH
THAT'S A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT IN
THIS COUNTRY BUT THERE'S NO ROOM
FOR FOR HATE OR INCITING
VIOLENCE AS WELL SO [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
I WOULD JUST AGREE THAT YOU KNOW
I WANT TO PROMOTE ROBUST FREE
SPEECH ON A CAMPUS IS THERE'S NO
QUESTION ABOUT IT WE HAD IT WHEN
I WAS IN SCHOOL WHEN I WAS AT
UCSB.
ARE BACK IN THE SEVENTIES AND I
ENDED UP BEING STERN BY THE
PRESIDENT THERE WE ALWAYS FOUGHT
FOR SPREE FREE SPEECH.
SO I'M A BIG BELIEVER IN MATH
BUT I DO THINK THAT IF IF THE
INTENT IS THERE AND IT'S WAY OUT
ON THE SIDE YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T
YELL FIRE IN A CROWDED THEATER.
ARE THERE ARE SOME RESTRICTIONS
IT IT HAVE TO BE SMALL RISK YOU
KNOW WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL
ABOUT IT IT IS A BALANCING ACT.
BUT I DO THINK THAT YOU KNOW THE
COST ALONE SOMETIMES OF OF DOING
ALL THIS.
YOU KNOW KIND OF IT IS IMPORTANT
TO LOOK AT AS WELL IN TERMS OF
SAFETY SO I DO YOU KNOW I REALLY
WANT TO PROMOTE THE ROBUST FREE
SPEECH --
AND AYE BUT I DO UNDERSTAND
THERE ARE MAYBE SOME LIMITS WHEN
IT'S INTENTIONAL.
TO BECAUSE VIOLENCE OR HATE THAT
JUST HAVE NO PLACE ON OUR
CAMPUSES THANK YOU THEN FINALLY
MADAM CHAIR.
I DON'T EXPECT ANY OF THESE
CANDIDATES WOULD SHOW FAVORITISM --
OF ONE CAMPUS OVER ANOTHER BUT I
WOULD CLOSE BY SAYING GO BEARS.
BUT NOT.
YOU'RE GONNA START SOMETHING
YEAH HELLO ANYWAY I ACTUALLY OUT
OF FAIRNESS TO MY DISTRICT GO
BANANA SLUG MATHIS LIES CHORUS
[inaudible]
YEAH.
THERE WILL KNOW YOUR TURN.
AND I HAVE A DAUGHTER UC IRVINE
LAW SCHOOL FIVE W. ANTEATERS O.
ANTEATERS.
WHICH HAVE NEVER SAID BEFORE.
THANK YOU FOR OPENING THAT.
MODERATE SENATOR WILL THAT THEY
CAN THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF YOU
VERY IMPRESSIVE RSUMES AS VERY
JUST ALL ALL ACCOMPLISHED PEOPLE.
ARE NAY AND I WHEN I WAS YOUNG I
I WOULD PARTICIPATE IN POLITICS
IN LA SO SEEN RUTH GALANTER IN.
AND IT HURTS ROSENTHAL WHO WHAT
A GENTLEMAN.
A GENTLEMAN I KNOW IS THAT WHAT
THAT WAS ALL GOOD --
I JUST GRABBED ONE CLAMOR GO
SURE STORY WITH YOU I KNOW
SOLELY ONE STORY BUT I I THINK
HE EXTRAPOLATED OUT SO I HAD A
CONSTITUENT I I RAN INTO LAST
YEAR.
HE'S GOT NIECES IN MICHIGAN IT'S
GOT NIECES AND CALIFORNIA.
IS NIECES IN CALIFORNIA
[inaudible]
APPLY. TO UC'S AND THEY GOT IT
THEY TO GET INTO SOME UC'S BUT
THEY WANTED BERKELEY ONE UCLA.
DIDN'T GET INTO EITHER OF THEM
THE GUIDING UNIVERSITY MICHIGAN
WHICH I THINK WE CAN SEIZE A
GREAT UNIVERSITY.
HIS NIECE IS IN MICHIGAN
GUARDIAN GOT INTO BERKELEY.
SO I GUESS THE QUESTION IS
[inaudible]
WHAT WHAT'S?
WHAT'S WHAT'S THE APPROPRIATE
LEVEL -- OF
WHAT OUT OF STATE STUDENTS
SHOULD LOOK LIKE ON YOU KNOW
THROUGH THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEMS I
KNEW WHERE 25% DOWN SOME OF
THESE CAMPUSES.
AND APART IT HAS TO DO WE WE
HAVEN'T GIVEN YOU ENOUGH MONEY
BUT I JUST I JUST WANT KNOW YOUR
THOUGHTS ARE ON THAT.
PLEA DOT AND THAT THIS IS A
UNIVERSE OF CALIFORNIA IS ABOUT.
SERVING THE PEOPLE LISTED A
CALIFORNIA --
PERSON FOREMOST WE ARE HERE TO
EDUCATE THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND I KNOW THAT THERE'S BEEN A
FIGURES DEBATE IN THE LAST YEAR
ABOUT WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE
LEVEL OF OUT A STATE AND IT'S
PERCENT IN STATE AND THE ROLE
THAT OUT OF STATE STUDENTS PLAY.
AND I KNOW THAT THE OFFICE OF
THE PRESIDENT AND THE BOARD OF
REGENTS ADOPTED A RESOLUTION
LAST YEAR TRYING TO SET A LEVEL.
I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT
THE PERFORMANCES SPIN AND ONE OF
THEM THE RESULTS --
THE IT IT'S BEEN BAREY A YEAR I
THINK SINCE THAT RESOLUTION WAS
APPROVED.
I'LL BE VERY INTERESTED IN THE
DATA COMING OUT OF IT BUT MY
PHILOSOPHY SENATOR IS THAT THIS
IS ABOUT THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA.
THERE IS NO DOUBT VALUE IN
HAVING A DIVERSITY OF VIEWPOINTS
AND BACKGROUNDS IN AN
EDUCATIONAL SETTING THAT'S
THAT'S WHAT MAKES TO THE
UNIVERSITY.
BUT CALIFORNIA HAS ONE OF THE
MOST OF BURST.
POPULATIONS IN THE WORLD --
WE NEED TO SERVE THE DIVERSITY
JOB NOT JUST OF ETHNICITY A
RACIAL BUT NATIONALITY LIES WE
HAVE.
PEOPLE WE HAVE COMMUNITIES FROM
EVERY CORNER OF THE WORLD WITH
IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES HERE IN
CALIFORNIA.
WE ALSO THOUGH.
NEED TO SERVE THE DIVERSITY OF
OUR STATE WE NEED TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE FAR NORTH IN THE
IMPERIAL COUNTY AND INLAND
EMPIRE AND THE CENTRAL VALLEY.
ARE GETTING ACCESS TO OUR
FLAGSHIP UNIVERSITIES TO UCLA
AND UC BERKELEY BUT TO SAY THAT
THERE'S ONLY TWO BUT WE NEED TO
BE ABLE TO HAVE.
A PROMISE THAT A STUDENT SITTING
IN IMPERIAL COUNTY OR IN MECCA.
HAS A CHANCE TO GO TO UC
BERKELEY.
SO AYE THAT'S MY GENERAL
PHILOSOPHY I DON'T HAVE A
SPECIFIC ANSWER TO THE LEVEL I
THINK WE NEED TO WE HAVE TO LOOK
AT THE DATA.
AND AND WE WILL BE WATCHING I
WILL BE WATCHING.
I I HAVE TO SAY I HAVE FAIRLY
STRONG OPINIONS ON MAD IN PART
OF IT IS BEING A PARENT. THREE
KIDS THAT WERE IN THE PROCESS OF
APPLYING TO COLLEGES DURING THIS
TIME AND ALSO NOT ONLY JUST A
PARENT I HAVE LOTS OF FRIENDS.
WITH KIDS.
WHAT I FOUND WAS I'VE OF THE
PENDULUM WENT TOO FAR IT'S ONE
TWO FOUR I REALIZE?
THAT -- THE
UNIVERSITY WAS NOT GETTING THE
MONEY IT WANTED FROM THE STATE.
BUT THE OPTICS OF THAT WERE
REALLY UGLY AND IT CAUSED A LOT
OF RESENTMENT AMONGST PEOPLE IN
CALIFORNIA I GET THAT ALL THE
TIME AS A PARENT.
SO WHEN WHAT I BELIEVE.
IT IS IS IS REALLY STRONG IS
THAT YOU KNOW THIS IS THE
CALIFORNIA INSTITUTION WE OUGHT
TO BE FOCUSING ON CALIFORNIA'S
YES WE OUGHT TO HAVE SOME
DIVERSITY FROM OTHER STATES NO
QUESTION ABOUT IT.
BUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING --
I THINK WHICH WAS A BAD SIGN.
CREATING A LOT OF PROBLEMS IF
WE'RE LOOKING FOR LONG TERMS.
YOU KNOW STABLE FUNDRAISING PART
OF IT IS OUR ALUMNI AND PART OF
IT IS FROM PEOPLE WHO.
CAME TO SCHOOL HERE THEY WHAT
THEY WANT TO YOU SEE THEY WENT
ON TO SILICON VALLEY MADE A LOT
OF MONEY.
IF THEY'RE IF THEY FEEL LIKE
THEY THEIR KIDS ARE AT A
DISADVANTAGE FROM OTHERS WHO
HAVE JUST AS GOOD GRADES AND THE
STORY YOU TELL I HAVE LOTS OF
STORIES LIKE THAT IT'S
UNBELIEVABLE.
ARM I JUST THOUGHT THE PENDULUM
ONE TWO FOUR RVTRADER WE WILL WE
WANT A STABLE LONG TERM
FINANCING METHOD IN PART OF IT
IT'S IT'S A FULL PICTURE.
SO SOMETIMES I THINK THE
UNIVERSITY DOESN'T LOOK AT THE
OPTICS.
AND I THOUGHT THE OPTICS WERE
REALLY BAD DURING THE SITUATION
AND RIGHT NOW WE HAVE A YOU KNOW
ARE THREE BIG CAMPUSES UCLA
BERKELEY AND AND SAN DIEGO.
I THINK THE LEAD JUST I THINK
THEY DID LISTEN TO THE
LEGISLATURE A LITTLE BIT ON THIS
ISSUE AND MAKE.
OUT AT CERTAIN POINTS.
I LIKE EVEN REVISIT SOME OF CAPS
I THINK 18% SOME THE
UNIVERSITIES ARE SOME OF THE
CAMPUSES ARE STILL PRETTY HIGH.
AND I THINK WE SHOULD REALLY BE
REWARDING OR CALIFORNIA CITIZENS.
ARM AND IT'S YOU KNOW I I DON'T
WANT TO CLOSE THE DOORS DOWN
STATE.
BUT I ALSO WOULDN'T WANT TO
MENTION THAT THOSE STATISTICS
SHOW THAT THOSE FROM OUT OF
STATE WERE LESS DIVERSE.
THEN THOSE FROM IN STATES WE'RE
NOT WE'RE REALLY NOT HELPING
OURSELVES LONG TERM.
LET ME JUST ADD AND THIS IS A
PUBLIC UNIVERSITY AND IT'S A
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES
SO THAT CLEARLY NEEDS TO BE THE
DRIVING.
UP PURPOSE BUT IT'S ALSO FOR ME.
THIS ENTIRE DEBATE IS A GOOD
EXAMPLE OF WHAT HAPPENS WHEN
PEOPLE STOP PAYING ATTENTION WE
CREATED THE FISCAL INCENTIVES
FOR THE UNIVERSITY TO PURSUE THE
OUT OF STATE STUDENTS AND THEN
EVERYONE SORT OF STOPPED.
PAYING ATTENTION --
AS AS RICH MENTIONED I THINK THE
LEGISLATURE REALLY REFOCUSED
THAT ATTENTION AND THE
UNIVERSITY HAS RESPONDED --
BUT YOU CAN SORT OF REVERSE
DECISIONS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE
OVER A DECADE A MEDIA LEASE SO --
IN MY MIND THAT --
POLICY THAT WAS ADOPTED WAS A
REASONABLE COMPROMISE GIVEN THE
FACTS OF THE TIME BUT I AGREE
COMPLETELY IN NEEDS COME YOU
KNOW REVISITING ON A REGULAR
BASIS AND YOU KNOW IDEALLY YOU
WOULD HAVE --
A LESSER PERCENTAGE OF ABOUT A
STATE STUDENTS OVER TIME
[inaudible]
VERY GOOD [inaudible]
MISTER ROTH.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR OF THIS
ESTADO IN.
IF YOU LEAVE IS GOOD TO MEET YOU
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR OF
PRIMUS WOULD FORWARD TO
SUPPORTING A THE CONFIRMATION
[inaudible]
MISTER COHEN.
IF LIKE A LONG TIME SINCE I'VE
SEEN YOU ON THAT SIDE OF THE
TABLE GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK I
KNOW I SPEAK FROM MY COLLEAGUES
SO.
WE MISSED YOU.
NOW A PERSONAL NOTE I WANT TO
THANK YOU.
FOR OF THE TIME AND ATTENTION
THAT YOU HAVE DEVOTED OVER YOUR
TENURE DURING MY TIME UP HERE --
TO ISSUES IN INLAND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA FRANKLY --
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
I AND RANGES FOR VARIETY OF
ISSUES FROM THE BEGINNING IN THE
UC OUR MEDICAL SCHOOL IN YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THAT.
THE AIR RESOURCES BOARD
COLLABORATION WITH THE
UNIVERSITY DOWN THERE --
IT'S GOING TO BE A GAME CHANGER.
THE MOST RECENTLY THE TELL
PSYCHIATRY PROGRAM IT'S GOING TO
SPREAD MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
OUT INTO.
THE EASTERN PORTIONS OF
RIVERSIDE COUNTY WHERE.
A UNDERSERVED IS AN
UNDERSTATEMENT.
THE YOU HAVE DONE A MARVELOUS
JOB I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR
SERVICE.
A CONTINUED SERVICES A REGENT
AND YOUR CONTINUED CONTRIBUTIONS
ALONG WITH.
THE OTHER --
TWO TO THE BETTERMENT OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA.
YOU'VE HEARD MY COMMENTS ON
EXPANDING PIPELINES IN
DEVELOPING MORE EFFECTIVE
MEASURES OF TERMINATING AT
OUTCOME AND CUSTOMER
SATISFACTION I'M NOT GOING.
TO THE BELABOR IT BY ASKING
ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS I JUST ASK
YOU.
THREE TO KEEP THOSE ISSUES IN
MIND IF YOU CONTINUE TO SERVE OR
BEGIN SERVIG.
ON THE BOARD AND SEE IF WE CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
SO WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO
SUPPORT THE CONFIRMATION AND
MAKE THE MOTION AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR.
YOUR VICE CHAIRMAN RECOMMEND
CHAIR OF CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL
THREE OF YOU THIS IS A LITTLE
UNUSUAL.
IN THAT WE CAN NORMALLY GREELEY
YOU ON TOPICS BECAUSE YOU'VE%
BEEN ON THE BOARD FOR AWHILE I
DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU IN THE
HEAD AT A MEETING YET SO NOW WE
HAVE AND I AM MAY.
I MAKE THIS THE FIRST TIME WE'VE
MET WE'RE GOOD AT HER HEY.
WE MAY HAVE THAT MAYBE YOU CAN
PROVIDE SOME THOUGHTS ON A
COUPLE OF THINGS.
THE FIRST OFFICER WILKES COMMENT
WE DON'T KNOW HOW THE TO
STUDENTS WERE DOING SOME OF THAT
WAS A FAIR STORY NECESSARILY THE
ONE NINE ALRIGHT ALRIGHT.
BUT ON THAT TIME HIS.
WAS IT A MORE JUST YOU WITH ALL
DUE RESPECT.
SO WITH THE WITH THE NOT
ALLOWING ARE ARE NOT HAVING A
HIGH NUMBER OF STUDENTS FROM
CALIFORNIA.
I'VE HEARD NUMEROUS STORIES OF
OF KIDS THAT HAVE YOU KNOW FOUR
POINT FIVE POINT FOUR POINT SIX
WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW WAS POSSIBLE.
WHEN HUMBUG?
NOT ABLE TO GET INTO UC SYSTEM
AND WHEN YOU HAVE STUDENTS FROM
OUT OF STATE THAT ARE ABLE TO
COME IN MAYBE THERE ARE AS
QUALIFIED OR IF THEY'RE EXACTLY
QUALIFY.
IT FORCES OUR STUDENTS TO GO TO
OTHER STATES IN WHICH CASE THEY
MAY NEVER COME BACK AS WE'VE
LOST SOME OF THE BEST AND
BRIGHTEST OTHER STATES BECAUSE
WE COULD. TO YOU SEE SO.
I THINK WERE TRAINED IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION I THINK THERE'S
A LOT OF WORK TO HAS BEGUN
BECAUSE IT IS THEY ARE
CALIFORNIA'S TUITIONS AND LOOK I
UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS BUT THEY
KNOW SUITS FROM MICHIGAN I DON'T
KNOW WHAT PERSPECTIVE
NECESSARILY THEY BRING TO IT TO
CALIFORNIA.
BUT BUT I I AM PLEASED TO SEE
THAT WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS AND
AND SO I REALLY APPRECIATED YOUR
ANSWER ESPECIALLY.
SO AT NO DISRESPECT IN YOUR BOOK
THE THREE I THINK YOU VERY
QUALIFY BUT I AM FRUSTRATED THAT
WE DON'T HAVE A MEMBER FROM OUR
UC BOARD OF REGENTS FROM THE
CENTRAL VALLEY.
SO I HOPE THAT THAT WHEN YOU GET
ENGAGED THAT YOU WILL GET TO
KNOW THE CENTRAL VALLEY AND I'M
SURE MISTER COHN YOU YOU.
PROBABLY DIDN'T UP AND DOWN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY.
BUT WE DO HAVE UNIQUE CHALLENGES
AND US ARE HOPE DISPENSARIES WHO
MERCED GET THOSE STUDENTS AND
UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE ISSUES
THAT THAT WE FACE IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WERE WE HAVE A LOT OF
STRUGGLE SO.
THAT WE HAVE THE GAS IS ONE SPOT
OPEN SO MAYBE YOU KNOW STILL MY
FINGERS ARE CROSSED THAT WE'LL
GET SOMEBODY THERE SO --
SO THERE DOES OVER THE YEARS
I'VE BEEN ON THE STAND I'VE BEEN
VERY CRITICAL OF THE UC SYSTEM
YOU SEE GRADUATE I WANT TO UC
DAVIS.
AND I LOVE THE INSTITUTION BUT I
JUST FEEL LIKE IT HAD CO LOST
ITS PATH FROM HEARING YOUR
ANSWERS I THINK YOU'RE GETTING A
BACKUP COPY WILL I THINK OTHER
APPOINTEES.
OR DOING WELL ALSO.
BUT THERE IS SOME.
HELLO I THINK THE STUDENTS ARE
STILL CONCERNED.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO TO REACH
OUT TO THE STUDENTS TO TO LET
THEM KNOW THAT YOU HEAR THEM AND
THAT YOU YOU KNOW?
THEN THE DAY YOU GOTTA YOU GOTTA
RUN THE THE UNIVERSITY THE BEST
OF ITS ABILITY BUT A LOT OF TIME
THAT THAT MEANS INCREASE IN FEES.
SO WHAT'S YOUR COMMITMENT TO TO
REACH OUT TO THEM OR WHAT CAN
YOU DO TO REACH OUT TO THEM SO
THAT YOU CAN A BETTER STAND THE
STRUGGLES THEY HAVE [inaudible]
I SENATE CANNELLA FOR MYSELF I
WANT TO VISIT CAMPUSES AND ALL
DUE RESPECT TO THE OFFICE OF THE
PRESIDENT INTO THE CHANCELLOR'S
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT ACTUALLY
GOING AROUND.
YOU GET A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE
OF THE CAMPUS WHEN YOU REACH OUT
TO COMMUNITY ARTISTIC
ORGANIZATION --
AND SAY HEY LOOK I MAY BE IN
TOWN YOU KNOW CAN ONE GET
TOGETHER AND TALK.
A W. REJECTING THAT COULD BE A
LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT THAN THE
FORMAL TOUR THAT YOU MIGHT
RECEIVE IF YOU WORK FOR THE
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT --
SO FOR ME I KNOW THAT WE
PRINCIPALLY MEET AT UCSF AND
UCLA -- I
WANT TO PROACTIVELY GO VISIT THE
CAPS ACTUALLY YOU SEE YOURSELF
AS A TOP MINDLESS.
ON BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW IT ON
HEARD A LOT ABOUT IT AND I READ
A LOT ABOUT THE INNOVATIVE
FINANCING MECHANISMS BEING USED.
I ALSO HAVE BEEN FASCINATED BY
THE ROLE TO PLAY IN ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT FOR THE VALLEY I
THINK IT'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE
GREATEST THINGS TO HAPPEN TO THE
VALLEY.
SO IT'S TOP OF MY LIST TO VISIT
AND I WANT TO VISIT WITH.
THEM WITH STUDENTS AND I THINK
PART OF THE NEED TO RELATE TO
STUDENTS IS THE TELLING YOUR OWN
STORY DIDN'T REALLY LISTEN AND
HEAR THEIR STORY.
WHERE THEY COME FROM WHO WERE
THEIR PARENTS WERE THEIR PARENTS
COME FROM WHAT WERE THEIR
PARENTS ASPIRATIONS FOR THEM?
WATER THEIR OWN ASPIRATIONS WHY
DID THEY GO TO UC.
BECAUSE IF THEY WANT TO YOU SEE.
THEY COULD GO TO ANYWHERE.
THEY'RE AMONG THE MOST QUALIFIED
APPLICANTS IN THE COUNTRY.
SO I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT KIND
OF ON THE CUSTOMER SERVICE
QUESTION.
WHAT YOUR FEELINGS ABOUT CAMPUS
TO FEEL SAFE REFILL IT THIS IS A
PLACE WITH WALKING ME?
DO YOU GET TO SUPPORT ANY.
DO YOU FEEL THAT THIS IS THAT
YOU OWN THIS UNIVERSITY.
IMPORTANT QUESTION ANSWER
SESSION SO I THINK THOSE ARE
SOME THE QUESTIONS I'LL BE
ASKING THEM.
ON I KNOW THAT AS REGIONS WERE
REALLY.
THEY SEE HUGE GULF BETWEEN US
AND THEM.
OF I REMEMBER IF BEEN A STUDENT
LIKE YESTERDAY AND I DON'T LOOK
LIKE THAT ANYMORE SO I KNOW I'VE
TO REACH OUT AND MAKE AN EXTRA
EFFORT TO BE RELATABLE.
I THINK PART OF THAT IS TELLING
YOUR OWN STORY.
ANTON AND SO THAT'S WHAT I PLAN
TO DO CERTAIN AND I HOPE TO
VISIT.
ALL THE CAMPUSES HOME BEFORE THE
END OF MY FIRST YEAR AS A REGION.
THANK YOU THANK YOU.
I'M SENATOR I WAS I WOULD AGREE
EXACTLY WITH WHAT CECILIA SAID
AMERICAN MY WRITTEN COMMENTS I
SAID YOU KNOW I KNOW.
ALL THE UNIVERSITIES FAIRLY WELL
I'VE HAD RELATIVES THAT HAVE
GRADUATED FROM ALL OF THEM
EXCEPT FOR UC MERCED SO MY FIRST
CHOICE MY FIRST VISIT IS GOING
TO BE UC MERCED.
I WILL SAVE WAY OF BACKGROUND I
HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF STEP UP ON
EVERYONE ELSE BECAUSE I WENT TO
COLLEGE --
WORKING AS A LIGHTING FIXTURE
SALESMAN AND SO I HAD ALL OF THE
NORTH COAST FROM SANTA BARBARA
ALL THE WAY TO PASS ROBLESS BUT
THEN I HAD TO GET ON THE FORTY
SIX IN THE FORTY ONE AND GO EAST
AND I HAD ALL OF THE ROUTE IN
THE CENTRAL.
VALLEY SO I ACTUALLY KNOW THIS I
KNOW MERCED BEFORE IT HAD A
STARBUCKS YEAH.
YEAH.
BUT ANYWAY --
AYE AYE AYE AYE EIGHT OH FIVE
AREA CODE NEVER KNEW THE FIVE
FIVE NINE SO I'M GONNA HAVE.
TO RIO BUT MERCED WILL BE MY
FIRST CAMPUS I GO TO IN TERMS OF
GETTING WITH THE STUDENTS I
TOTALLY AGREE WITH WHAT SILLY
HATS THAT IN TERMS OF I DON'T
WANT TO JUST GO WITH A PRE
MEETING SCHEDULE FROM THE OFFICE
OF THE PRESIDENT NOT AT ALL.
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO VISIT WITH
DIFFERENT GROUPS MORE
IMPORTANTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO IN
THIS MIGHT HELP WITH THE
PERCEPTION SOMETIMES AT THE
REGION'S HAVE.
IS I GO BACK TO THE JACK
O'CONNELL A GARY HART DAYS
BECAUSE GARY HART WAS MY FIRST
BOSS SET UP CARD TABLE.
AND JUST BE OUT IN FRONT AND
HAVE ANYBODY AND MAYBE NOBODY
WILL COME.
WHICH IS FINE BUT YOU KNOW HOW
BRING A BOOK BUT BUT I DO WANT
TO BRING YOU KNOW I DO WANT TO
GET NOT JUST FROM STUDENT
LEADERS I WAS DOING LEADER
MYSELF BUT I KNOW THEY WERE YOU
KNOW ALL MY FRIENDS IN THE DORM
HAD ISSUES.
TO AND THEY MAY HAVE NOT BEEN IN
PART OF AN ORGANIZATION.
BUT THEIR STUDENTS HAVE HAD
CONCERNS AND SO I WANT TO HEAR
FROM EVERYBODY AND I DON'T WANT
TO BE IN A PREPACKAGED MEETING I
MEAN SOME OF THEM OF COURSE YOU
WANT TO DO THAT.
BUT I WANNA I REALLY WANNA GO
OUT ON MY OWN AND WHEN WE DO
THAT AND AND LIKE I SAID MY RICH
MATERIALS.
AMER SAID WAS FOR SOME IT WILL
GO TOGETHER.
GREAT THANK YOU.
AND I'M I'M BEEN MERCED AND IT
WAS SORT OF AYE CHANGING IN
TERMS OF HAVING CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE STUDENTS UNDERSTANDING
THEIR BACKGROUNDS AND THEN THIS
REALLY WAS. FOR MANY OF THEM THE
FIRST OPPORTUNITY I FOR A FAMILY
MEMBER TO ADD GO TO UNIVERSITY
AND SO I'M A BIG BELIEVER IN --
IN TALKING TO STUDENTS DIRECTLY
AND LEARNING FROM THEM --
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY --
TO MEET THE STUDENT REACHING
YESTERDAY [inaudible]
ANY TIME --
HE WANTS TO I SET UP A SITE
VISITS WITH OTHERS --
STUDENTS I'M AND SO I'M I'M VERY
MUCH LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND MY LAST
QUESTION.
MY NOTES SAY THAT IN MAY YOU'RE
GONNA CONTEMPLATED OTHER --
TUITION INCREASE.
IF THAT'S THE CASE WHAT I'M
SORRY.
SO THAT'S WHY NOT SAY IS THAT
NOT NOT THE CASE OKAY I'VE WHEN
YOU IF WHEN YOU DO LOOK AT IT
AGAIN.
BUT WHAT FACTORS WEAKENS WHEN
YOU'RE WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
AN INCREASE.
I WOULD AND DESIST MICHAEL YOU
YOU PROBABLY COULD GIVE A WHOLE
DISSERTATION SAW OUTRIGHT BE
BRIEF BUT I'D LOOK AT WHAT'S
CAUSING INCREASED COSTS.
WHY DO WE HAVE A GAP LITCHFIELD
OUT INTO THE COST NUMBERS?
WHAT WE DO TO FILL THAT GAP IN
SOME OTHER WAY HAVE WE DONE
EVERYTHING POSSIBLE --
I WOULD ALSO BE LOOKING AT WHAT
HAVE WE DONE TO MAKE AVAILABLE
OTHER RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS SO
THAT THEY WON'T FEEL THAT WHAT
IS THE TOTAL COST OF EDUCATION
WE'VE DONE ANYTHING TWO MILLION
EIGHT THE COSTS THE RISING COST
OF HOUSING BECAUSE THAT'S A
SIGNIFICANT PART OF THEIR COST.
OF EDUCATION FUNNY LOOKING AT
THAT I DID IT WOULD BE THE VERY
LAST CHOICE THREE STUDENT FEES --
STINSON SO WE HIRE A LOT OF YOU
SEE GRADUATES IN MY COMPANY
[inaudible]
AND A IT WAS KIND OF FUNNY
SPEAKING OF FREE SPEECH. ONE OF
THE FRST THINGS I SAID I TOLD
AND BEING YOU KNOW IT CAN GET
DISAPPOINTMENT SAID ONLY IRA MY
FIRST UC REGENTS MEANS WE WERE
PROTESTING TUITION INCREASE
[inaudible]
SO.
AND THESE ARE FOLKS WHO
REPRESENT TO EXPERIENCE
SOMETHING LIKE A 100% WHICH
INCREASE IN THIS IN THE SPAN OF
THEIR UNDERGRADUATE GRADUATE
DEGREE.
SO IT'S GOING TO BE THE LAST ON
MY LIST OF CHOICES BUT I REALLY
WANTED TO SEND THE COST CURVE
AND WHAT WE CAN DO ON THE
REVENUE SIDE AND THAT'S ONCE
REALLY FOCUSED ON THIS IP ISSUE.
I THINK THERE'S GOTTA BE OTHER
WAYS FOR US TO READ RAISE
REVENUE NO THERE'S NO PANACEA
BUT WE GOTTA TRY EVERYTHING
BEFORE WE ASK.
THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA TO
CONTINUE TO INCREASE THIS IS
WITH REPUBLICANS TUITION BY
PARENTS ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT WHY
CALIFORNIA WAS DIFFERENT.
YOU'RE KIDDING IT WE HAD WORLD
CLASS UNIVERSITY.
THAT WAS PRACTICALLY FREE AND
THEY ALWAYS SAID THAT IS WHY
WE'RE THE GREATEST ADMONITION.
WE NEED TO GET BACK TO THAT
REALLY ABSOLUTELY MUST GET.
MY ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THERE
ARE MANY OTHER THINGS WE CAN DO
BEFORE WE WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT
A TUITION INCREASE SAM THAT
BEING SAID I ALL TAKE THE
OPPORTUNITY. TO TALK ABOUT THE
FACT THAT WHEN YOU SEE HAS
INCREASED TUITION THEY SEEM TO
VIEW THE CAL GRANT COSTS THEY
INCREASE ON THE STATE BUDGET
SIDE IS SORT OF A FREE GOOD.
WHICH HAS BEEN GREAT IN TERMS OF
THE STATE'S COMMITMENT TO THE
CAL GRANT PROGRAM HOWEVER.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT
EVERY TENS OF MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS THAT.
I THAT YOU SEE WOULD CAUSE TO
INCREASE THE CAL GRANT PROGRAM
IS TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
BY.
U. S. A LEGISLATURE CAN'T SPEND
ON SOME OTHER VERY IMPORTANT
PROGRAM SO.
THAT TUITION INCREASES ARE NOT
FREE AND I FULLY EXPECT THAT WE
WOULD FIND OTHER ALTERNATIVES
BEFORE.
TAKING ABOUT FOR A TUITION AND
JUST TO ADD --
AND WHEN THEY FIND INSTRUCTOR
TELLS YOU THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER
WAYS TO DO IT THAT'S PRETTY GOOD
YEAH.
WHENEVER THE MAP.
I HAVE NOW BUT I WOULD ALSO SAY
THAT YOU KNOW THE COST OF
EDUCATION YOU KNOW WHEN I LOOK
AT MY NEIGHBORS IN FOR AN IMAGE
JUST YOU KNOW IT IS RIDICULOUS.
THE WHOLE COST TO THE COST OF A
PUBLIC EDUCATION IS COSTING YOU
KNOW IS SO RIDICULOUS WE CAN'T
AFFORD IT SO A TUITION INCREASE.
THE OPTICS AGAIN EVEN IF YOU'RE
ABLE TO DO SOME OTHER THINGS.
YOU KNOW IF YOU THE APPARENT
WILL ALWAYS LOOK AT THE TOTAL
COST OF EDUCATION IS A LOOK AT
IT BUT WE CANNOT.
ALLOW IT TO ISSUE INCREASE IN
LESS.
IN THAT IN MY TIME THERE WILL
NEVER THERE WILL ALWAYS BE OTHER
ALTERNATE IS THERE OUGHT TO BE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU MR VICE CHAIRMAN --
FOLLOWING ALONG I THINK YOU'VE
BEEN ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS
AND I I HAVE TO SAY.
THE TONE AND TENOR OF YOUR
ANSWERS AND YOUR APPROACH IN
YOUR PHILOSOPHY.
FEELS INCREDIBLY.
IT WELL DIFFERENT FROM WHAT I'VE
EXPERIENCED ARE.
I SEE ANOTHER FORMER SPEAKER IN
THE AUDIENCE AND IN THAT ROLE --
I GOT TO SERVED BRIEFLY AS HE UC
REGENT.
AND TO TALK ABOUT --
YOU KNOW THAT THE COMMUNICATION
WAS STUDENTS AND HEARING THEM I
WOULD SAY THE REGENTS MEETINGS.
OUR OUR NOT VERY INVITING AND SO
I WOULD HOPE AND I YOU KNOW I
WALKED IN THE DOOR IS THE
SPEAKER OF THE ASSEMBLY.
I SHOULD HAVE FELT NO DISCOMFORT
FRANKLY WELL.
UNLESS THEY WERE PROTESTING YET
AGAIN.
IN TERMS OF TUITION INCREASES
BUT THAT WAS IN IT THE
ENVIRONMENT.
I WAS NOT WHAT I WOULD THINK YOU
WOULD BE TO BE OPEN AND
RECEPTIVE TO THE STUDENTS WHO
MIGHT SHOW UP TO SPEAK.
AS PART OF COMMENT. TO THE
FACULTY WHO TO THE TWO PARENTS --
SO I I JUST WANTED TO PUT A PLUG
IN THERE AS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
IBM INVITING AND WILLING TO MEET
WITH STUDENTS ON THE CAMPUSES
WHERE THEY ARE.
THAT THE BOARD OF REGENTS
MEETING AS AN OPPORTUNITY. TO
SET A TONE AND CREATED AN
ENVIRONMENT THAT HELPS YOU.
WHEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE HARD
DECISIONS AND GO TO THE
COMMUNITY AND THE?
AND CALIFORNIA AND TO THE
LEGISLATURE ON MY HOPE IS --
AND WE'VE WORKED VERY HARD.
TO ODDS IMPROVE THAT
RELATIONSHIP SINCE I WAS FIRST
THERE.
ARE WITH THE GOVERNOR --
A NUMBER OF YEARS AGO ON A
TUITION INCREASE AND ALSO AT THE
SAME TIME CONSIDER IN SALARY
INCREASES FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
SENIOR.
SO ALL OF THAT HAS AN IMPACT AND
SENDS A MESSAGE AND YOU KNOW AS
YOU APPROACH THE TUITION ISSUE
WHEN AND REVENUE SIDE.
ALSO WE WANT TO BE FAIR TO
FACULTY.
THOSE ARE HARD THINGS TO BALANCE
BUT THEY ARE THEY ARE THE ONES
TEACHING OUR STUDENTS.
ARM THE ARM SUPPORT STAFF
IMPORTANT.
BUT IT IT THE SALARIES FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF AT THE SAME
TIME YOU'RE LOOKING AT REYES AND
STUDENT FEES SO.
JUST THAT YOU CAN COMMENT ON ON
ANY OF THOSE THINGS IF YOU WANT
TO BUT JUST FROM THE TONE AND
TENOR OF YOUR ANSWERS TO MY
COLLEAGUES IT SOUNDS TO ME.
LIKE YOU HAVE AN AWARENESS.
OF SOME THINGS THAT COULD BE
DIFFERENT SO IF YOU WANNA
COMMENT ON JUST BRIEFLY THAT I
WOULD APPRECIATE IT BECAUSE I
THINK IT'S PART OF THE PROBLEM.
IN TERMS OF THE RELATIONSHIP
WHEN IT COMES TO THE BUDGET
DISCUSSIONS [inaudible]
ARM [inaudible]
YOU KNOW.
IT HASN'T BEEN GOOD UP TO THAT
POINT AND THEN.
TOUGH DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE
AND WE DON'T START FROM THE BEST
PLACE OF DIALOGUE.
I I MEN PRESIDENT I APPRECIATE
THOSE COMMENTS IN A AND ONE
THING I WOULD SAY I DO THINK
THAT THE GOVERNOR HAS MADE SOME
EXCELLENT APPOINTMENTS IN THE
LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THAT ARE
GONNA TAKE.
IT I THINK SOMETIMES THE
UNIVERSITY HAS THIS VIEW OF IT
BEING IN THE LEADERS YOU KNOW IT
THAT THE PERCEPTION IS OFTEN
THAT YOU SEE IS ELITIST IT WAS
WHEN I WAS.
A STUDENT AND I THINK IT CARRIES
FORWARD I HINK THAT THEY
REGION'S THAT I'VE SEEN BOTH YOU
KNOW THAT WERE APPOINTED LAST
YEAR AS WELL AS MY COLLEAGUES
HERE THAT.
I I THINK A TENER HIS BEING IS
BEING ESTABLISHED IN CHANGE I
THINK WE'RE GOING TO HAVE.
A DIFFERENT TONE WE'RE GOING TO
HAVE TO WORK HARD AT MAKING SURE
THAT WE HAVE MORE ACCESS YOU
KNOW THAT WE ARE --
MUCH MORE --
INVITING TO PEOPLE AND MORE
WELCOMING I THINK THAT IS A
PERCEPTION A BUT I THINK IT'S
REALITY I THINK WE NEED TO MAKE
TAKES STEPS TO MAKE TO BE A MORE
WELCOMING BODY I HAVEN'T.
YOU KNOW HAVE THE EXPERIENCE YET
BUT I CAN I CAN.
YOU KNOW I'M GONNA WORK TOWARDS
THAT.
NOW PRESENT I APPRECIATE YOU
YOUR YOUR REMARKS ABOUT THE
TENER IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF A
PUBLIC MEETING.
A FORMER CITY ATTORNEY.
IT MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN
THE WORLD MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC
HOW DOES THAT THEY CAN MAKE
PUBLIC COMMENT.
AND WHERE THAT PUBLIC COMMENT
FOLLOWS WERE.
PROCEEDS A VOTE OR IS PUT HALL
AT ONCE AT THE BEGINNING AND AND
EVERYBODY WANTS TO MAKE PUBLIC
COMMENT COLLECTIVELY HAS FIVE
MINUTES.
AND THEN DISCUSSIONS TAKE PLACE
IN THERE'S NO INTERACTION WITH
PUBLIC --
TAUGHT IN LEARNING ABOUT THE
PROCEDURES.
CURRENTLY AT THE UC BOARD OF
REGENTS.
BUT THEY DON'T LOOK FAMILIAR TO
ME AND YET I'M WELL VERSED IN
THE BROWN ACT.
THE I KNOW THEY FOLLOW THE BROWN
OUT BUT THEY'RE NOT USING A
BROWN NECK AND WAY TO HAVE
MEANINGFUL INTERACTION WITH
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND I KNOW
YOU SERVED ON THE CITY COUNCIL
OF SAN DIEGO SO THAT IS THERE'S
NOTHING MORE LOCAL THAN YOUR
CITY COUNCIL.
AND THAT INTERACTION IS
ESSENTIAL ON IMPORTANT ISSUES OF
POLICY YOU NEED TO HAVE THE
IMMEDIACY OF MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC ADDRESSING THE ISSUE
BEING DISCUSSED AT THAT MOMENT
NOT THREE HOURS LATER.
SO I I WILL BE NOTING THE
PROCEDURE AND AND YOU KNOW WILL
BE THE NEWTOWN THE PLOT BUT I
CERTAINLY THINK IT SIGNALS A LOT
ABOUT WHO WE ARE AS AN
INSTITUTION.
IF WE EVEN GIVE THE PUBLIC THE
PEOPLE WHO PAY EVERYBODY SALARY
AND BILL THIS INSTITUTION.
AN OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY
INTERACT WITH POLICYMAKERS OF
NUMBER ONE SECOND I DO WANT TO
COMMENT THAT --
IT IS IMPORTANT AND I'VE SAID
THIS IN MY WRITTEN MATERIALS
THAT EVERYBODY WHO WORKED HERE
SO CALIFORNIA PRODUCE STAFF
MEMBERS.
THE LOWEST PAID STAFF MEMBER
OUGHT TO BE ABLE TO SEND THEIR
STUDENT TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA THERE'S THE CONSUMER
SUCCUMB.
WE NEED TO PAY A FAIR LIVING
WAGE.
ON THAT SAME TIME WOULDN'T
DOUBLE EXPORTER FACULTY A BIT
ARBITRATION.
THEY'RE DOING FINE IS A MODERN A
PRIVILEGE TO BE IN THE SENIOR
LEADERSHIP OF THE UNIVERSE OF
CALIFORNIA WE DON'T NEED TO PAY
A PREMIUM FOR THAT.
ISN'T KALRA PRIVILEGE JUST LIKE
I'M GETTING PAID NOTHING SURVIVE
BECAUSE HE PART OF FREE AGENTS.
WE DON'T EXPECT THEM TO GET PAID
NOTHING BUT WE DON'T HALF WE
HAVE THE PRIVILEGE IN THE
PRESTIGE OF THE UNIVERSITY
CALIFORNIA DON'T THINK WE HAVE
TO HAVE.
ENORMOUSLY GENEROUS SALARY
BONUSES COMPETITION STRUCTURES
AND WE ARE PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
WE HAVE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE
PUBLIC PURSE.
AND WE ALSO HAVE TO HAVE.
A WAY OF ADDRESSING THIS.
VAST INCOME DISPARITY IN THE
STATE.
AS A PUBLIC INSTITUTION WE
SHOULD MODEL GOOD BEHAVIOR NOT
THE MOST.
SO I KNOW THE REGIONS HAVE RE
ORGANIZE THEIR COMMITTEE
STRUCTURE SINCE YOU AND I
EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING IT
AND AT ROUGHLY THE SAME TIME IN
TERMS OF MEETINGS BEING IT WAS
VERY JUST THE WAY THAT
EVERYTHING WAS SET UP WAS --
WE YOU KNOW NOT INVITING TO OUT
TO PUBLIC COMMENT AND PART OF
THAT IS COMBINED I THINK WITH.
I UC'S.
SORT OF MOVE TOWARDS MORE
TRANSPARENCY --
NOW THAT IS VERY MUCH SOMETHING
I'M COMMITTED TO YOU AND I THINK
IN THE LAST YEAR THE LEGISLATURE
AND I KNOW ME PERSONALLY HAVE
EXPERIENCED.
A GREATER SENSE OF THEM
PROVIDING INFORMATION PART OF
THAT WAS YOU KNOW THE FIFTY
MILLION DOLLARS THAT WE HELD
BACK FROM THE UNIVERSITY.
HOPEFULLY --
THAT CHANGES THEY'VE MADE.
SO THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS
DOESN'T FEEL FORCED TO TAKE
ACTIONS LIKE THAT --
BUT IN TERMS OF KIND OF
PROVIDING INFORMATION AND MAKING
EVERYTHING AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE
IN TERMS OF HOW.
YOU INTERACT WITH THE UNIVERSITY
WHAT INFORMATION CAN BE PROVIDED
ARE ALL THINGS I'M VERY
COMMITTED TO AND I'M LOOKING
FORWARD TO MAKING SURE THAT THE
NEW COMMITTEE STRUCTURE.
IS KIND OF OUT OF BREATH OF
FRESH AIR AND MAKES IT MORE
INVITING --
TO TO THE PUBLIC TO ENGAGE.
YOU MISTER COHN.
WELL WE'VE HAD QUITE A WONDERFUL
DIALOGUE AYE AYE IN IMPORTANT
ONE I THINK AND NOW WE'RE GONNA
INVITE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO
HAPPENED TO BE HERE.
AYE AND MAY ONE AWAY AND SO I'M
GONNA AND FIGHT --
PEOPLE TO COME FORWARD WHO MAY
BE HERE IN SUPPORT [inaudible]
OF OUR ANY OF THE CONFEREES.

THE PERSPECTIVE THAT YOU ENJOYED
AS A REGENT A AND GOT SOME
INSIGHT INTO THE PROCESS.
AND FURTHER WAS INFORMED BY --
MY EFFORTS THE TIME WITH THAT
THEN A MEMBER OR GOES ONE ON TO
BE CONGRESSMAN TO DO THE FIGHT
TO CREATE THE UC CARE THE CAMPUS
AT MERCED.
AND ALSO IN TWO THOUSAND SIX TO
DEAL WITH THE SCANDAL THAT WE
HAD.
RESULT IN THE CREATION OF A TASK
FORCE WHY WAS APPOINTED WITH
REGION BECAUSE BURKE.
AMONG OTHERS TO DEAL WITH SOME
OF THE FACED WITH COMPENSATION
OF SOME OF THE CHANCELLOR'S
THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM AND SPENT
NEARLY A YEAR.
SCRUBBING SO A LOT OF THE
UNDERLYING FINANCIAL DECISIONS
THAT WE HAD THAT GAVE ME AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DIG DEEPER.
I WANT TO JUST START BY STE BY
THE JOINING.
A MY COMMENTS WITH HOW IMPORTANT
THE SYSTEM ISN'T ONE INCREDIBLE --
GOLDMINE UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA'S
I WAS OUT OF GOVERNMENT AND
TRAVEL THE WORLD EVERYWHERE I
WENT PEOPLE WANTED TO YOU SEE
EVERYBODY HAS IS USE STORY.
IT'S JUST AN UNBELIEVABLE
INSTITUTION.
AND SO I COME HERE TODAY AND
WITH RESPECT ALL.
THREE OUR NOMINEES IN.
WELL BOSS WILL SEE HOW IT GOES
BUT IT'S SUPPORT.
OUR ENGINES START MISS COHEN
BECAUSE I THINK ONE OF THE GREAT
CHALLENGES THAT WE FACE. ONE OF
THE GREAT CHALLENGES LEAST I
OBSERVE BOTH WITH RESPECT TO MY
MEMBERSHIP ON THE AS CHAIR OF
THE TASK FORCE AND WITH RESPECT.
TO THE REGION'S IS THE WHOLE
FINANCIAL PEACE.
IT'S REALLY HARD I MEAN MEMBER
TRYING TO PUT MONEY IN THE
BUDGET NAY WOULD MOVE STUFF
AROUND THE LIKE.
AND AND TO HAVE SOMEBODY WITH
WITH WITH MISTER COHN SKILLS AND
UNDERSTANDING OF THE BUDGET
PROCESS UNDERSTAND HOW IT
RELATES HERE.
IS ONE OF THE MISSING COMPONENTS
I THINK BOTH IN TERMS OF THE
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE
LEGISLATURE THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH
TO REALLY HELP THIS INDEPENDENT
ENTITY THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA.
SUCCEED SO FROM OUR EVEN HIS
ROLE HERE FROM A ROLE WE DECADES
AGO WHEN HE WAS A WORK WITH US

TO COSTA COMMISSIONS TO ALL OF
THE VARIOUS ROLES.
AND WHAT SHE HAS IN MY
EXPERIENCE IS JUST.
AN EXTRAORDINARY PROBLEM SOLVING
CAPABILITY YOU BRING HER INTO
THE ROOM THERE'S SOMETHING GOING
ON SHEFIGURES IT OUT.
AND ONE OF THE CHALLENGES I
THINK IN THE SHORT COMINGS YOU
MIGHT AGREE A META PRO TEM WITH
RESPECT TO THE BOARD OF REGENTS
IS KIND OF ITS DISTANT
RELATIONSHIP WE SAW SOME.
POINTS MADE NO COMMENTS BUT
LARGELY JUST AN EXTRAORDINARY
SKILL SO I WANT TO STAND SUPPORT
STRONGLY IN SUPPORT OF HER.
NOMINATION.
ABOUT WITH MR LEAVE I HAVE TO
COME CLEAN.
I WOULD NOT BE IN GOVERNMENT
TODAY.
BUT FOR HIM TWISTING MY ARM SOME
TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO HE'S THE
HE'S THE RAT FINK COULD CONVINCE
ME TO RUN FOR OFFICE AND I'VE
STILL NEVER FORGIVEN HIM.
WE MAY NOT THERE.

HE'S UNBELIEVABLE PERSON THE
SPIN IN A JUST A YEAR.
A MAN OF DEEP CONVICTION WE ALL
KNOW WHAT A GREAT FELLOW IS AYE
AND THIS WOMAN I CITY SHARON HE
DID MENTION HE WAS PRESIDENT OF
THE UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA.
