IT WAS NOT HARVARD MEDICAL

ENABLED ME TO COMPLETE A VISION.
FOR MYSELF AS A HEALER NOT JUST
OF INDIVIDUALS BUT OF
COMMUNITIES. GROWING UP MY
PARENTS MADE SACRIFICES TO MOVE
TO AN ALL WHITE SUBURB TO ENSURE
THE BEST PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR MY
BROTHERS AND ME. BOTH OF MY
GRANDPARENTS WITH WHOM I LIVED
WITH MY PARENTS WERE SECURING A
HOME FOR US WERE EDUCATORS. A
BOOK ABOUT SAINT LUKE THE
PHYSICIAN INSPIRED ME TO BUILD A
LIFE BASED ON HEALING AND
ADDRESSING THE SOCIAL CONDITIONS
THAT CONTRIBUTE TO POOR HEALTH.
I WAS MOVED TO PURPOSE AT THE
POOR PEOPLE'S MARCH ON
WASHINGTON AS A CHILD. EVEN THEN
STANDING ON MY STEPFATHER
SHOULDERS I KNEW WHAT WAS
EXPECTED OF ME. TODAY ON MARRIED
TO A PUBLIC DEFENDER WITH
UNDERGRADUATE AND LAW DEGREES

OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE THE LIFE
SHAPING EXPERIENCES OFFERED TO
MY FAMILY AND ME. AND THE
CERTAINTY THAT OUR STATE
BENEFITS FROM A DIVERSE AND
EDUCATED WORK FORCE AS WE
ADDRESS THE CHALLENGES AHEAD. MY
PROFESSIONAL CREDENTIALS
COMPLEMENT THESE SHARED VALUES
AND OFFER PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
FOR A LARGE AND CRITICAL
COMPONENT OF THE UNIVERSITY'S
WORK. I STAND IS THE ONLY REGION
WHOSE BOTH A PHYSICIAN AND A
SENIOR HEALTH CARE ADMINISTRATOR
. AS CEO OF MLK COMMUNITY HEALTH
CARE I LED THE OPENING OF A
STATE OF THE ART HOSPITAL IN AN
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY OF SOUTH
LOS ANGELES. AN ACCOMPLISHMENT
THAT MANY DEEMED IMPOSSIBLE. THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA WAS A
KEY PARTNER. AND CONTRIBUTING TO
THE BIRTH OF THE HOSPITAL IN TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN. WE'VE SINCE
GROWN TO BECOME AN INTEGRATED
SYSTEM OF CARE THAT INCLUDES
MULTIPLE OUTPATIENT CENTERS AND
COMMUNITY BASED HEALTH EDUCATION
AND SCREENING. M. OKAY COMMUNITY
HEALTH CARE'S MISSION IS TO
PROVIDE QUALITY CARE SERVICES
AND EDUCATION TO A DIVERSE AND
VIBRANT COMMUNITY. LIKE THE

YOU VERY MUCH MISS TO. THANK YOU
PRESIDENT PRO TEM ATKINS
SENATORS THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
YOUR TIME AND ALSO I WANT TO
MAKE A MENTION OF YOUR STAFF AND
SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OF THEM
ALSO FOR TAKING THE TIME TO MEET
WITH US AND GETTING TO KNOW ALL
OF US BETTER. THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA'S AN IMPORTANT
INSTITUTION FOR OUR STUDENTS FOR
OUR COMMUNITIES AND FOR OUR
STATE AND I AM VERY HONORED TO
BE BEFORE YOU TODAY AS YOU
CONSIDER. MY APPOINTMENT TO THE
UC BOARD OF REGENTS ESPECIALLY
WHEN I THINK OF COURSE GOVERNOR
NEWSOM FOR HIS APPOINTMENT AND
HIS CONFIDENCE AND TRUST. BY WAY
OF INTRODUCTION I AM A MOTHER i
A STRONG AND VERY DETERMINED
THREE YEAR OLD DAUGHTER. SHE'S
VERY CREATIVE- WIFE TO AN
AMAZING FIREFIGHTER A SISTER AND
A DAUGHTER OF IMMIGRANTS WHO
CAME TO THIS COUNTRY OVER FORTY
YEARS AGO. I WANT TO SHARE A
LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY PARENTS
BECAUSE THEY HAD SUCH A STRONG
HAND IN SHAPING THE PERSON THAT
I AM TODAY. MY PARENTS WERE
IMMIGRANTS WHO HAD VERY LITTLE
WHEN THEY FIRST ARRIVED THEY HAD
NO FRIENDS NO FAMILY HERE AND
THEY SPOKE VERY VERY LITTLE
ENGLISH. LIKE MANY IMMIGRANTS MY
PARENTS SETTLED IN LOS ANGELES
CHINATOWN I WAS BORN IN THE OLD
FRENCH HOSPITAL IN CHINATOWN MY
MOTHER STARTED OFF SELLING
CLOTHES IN GARMENT FACTORIES. MY
DAD WORKED IN KITCHENS AS A
COOK. I GREW UP IN EAST LOS
ANGELES ATTENDED THE LOS ANGELES
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND MY
PARENTS SPENT. ALL THEY HAD. TO
OPEN A SMALL MOM AND POP
RESTAURANT IN INGLEWOOD
CALIFORNIA ACROSS WHAT USED TO
BE THE GREAT WESTERN FORUM. I
LEARNED A LOT GROWING UP HOW
HARD IT WAS TO COMMUNICATE HOW
YOU ARE PERCEIVED AND TREATED.
WHEN YOU SPOKE WITH AN ACCENT.
MORE IMPORTANTLY HOW HARD MY
PARENTS WORKED HOW BRAVE THEY
WERE AND HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO
PRESERVE YEAR. I ALSO REMEMBER
THE FIRST DAY OF THE LOS ANGELES
RIOTS ON THAT FIRST NIGHT MY
PARENTS HAD THEIR CAR STOLEN AT
GUN POINT. ON SENTRY BOULEVARD
AS THEY TRIED TO MAKE THEIR WAY
HOME. I REMEMBER LYING IN BED
WAITING AND WAITING FOR MY
PARENTS TO COME HOME. AT THAT
TIME NO ONE HAD CELL PHONES
REALLY. AND WE WERE VERY LUCKY
THAT THEY MADE IT HOME SAFELY
THAT NIGHT. BUT I'LL NEVER
FORGET THE FEAR OF WONDERING IF
YOUR PARENTS WOULD COME HOME.
AND THEN LATER WORRYING ABOUT
WHETHER IT THERE WOULD BE
ANYTHING LEFT TO SUPPORT YOUR
FAMILY. FOR A LONG TIME WE
SMELLED SMOKE FIRES WERE SET
ACROSS THE CITY. AND IT WAS ALSO
AROUND THIS TIME THAT EVEN IN
OUR SCHOOLS WE STARTED TO TALK
MORE ABOUT THE ROLE OF
GOVERNMENT- THE ROLE OF
EDUCATION. TO UP LIST
COMMUNITIES AND TO HELP TO OPEN
AND TO CREATE. OPPORTUNITIES I'M
A FIRST GENERATION STUDENT THEM
FIRST IN OUR FAMILY TO BE ABLE
TO GO TO COLLEGE LUCKILY ON A
SCHOLARSHIP THAT WAS CREATED FOR
INNER CITY YOUTH COMING OUT OF
THE AFTERMATH. OF THE RIOTS. ALL
OF THESE EXPERIENCES SHARE WITH
YOU BECAUSE THEY INFORM HOW I
SERVE AS A PUBLIC SERVANT. AS AN
ADULT A DEDICATED ALMOST MY
ENTIRE PROFESSIONAL LIFE TO
PUBLIC SERVICE. AND SERVED ON
PENSION AND HEALTH SERVICE
BOARDS I WORKED IN BOND
FINANCING FOR MUNICIPAL
PROJECTS. BUDGEN FINANCE. AS AN
ELECTED LEGISLATOR TO THE SAN
FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE DISTRICT
FOR. AS AN ELECTED ASSESSOR
HANDLING COMPLEX TAX MATTERS AND
NOW WITH CITY ADMINISTRATOR SAN
FRANCISCO OVERSEEING TWENTY FIVE
DEPARTMENTS INCLUDING
INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING. REAL
ESTATE IT INVESTMENTS FOR THE
CITY. MAYBE MORE RELEVANT I ALSO
SERVE AS ROOM PARENT FOR MY
THREE YEAR OLD. CLASSROOM WHICH
IS A WHOLE OTHER SKILL SET IN
ITSELF. I HOPE TO BRING ALL OF
THESE EXPERIENCE MY CURIOSITY
WILLINGNESS TO WORK HARD
OPENNESS AND SYSTEMS
IMPLEMENTATION MIND TO
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AS THE
REGION. I BELIEVE THAT THE
IMPACT OF YOU SEE IS SIGNIFICANT
IT IMPROVED LIFE'S IT HAS A
PROFOUND IMPACT AS YOU HEARD
FROM REGION FASTER ON STUDENTS

PATIENTS WE SERVE. THE
COMMUNITIES WE ARE IN FOR THE
INNOVATION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH
AND COMPETITIVENESS OF OUR
STATE. SO I WANTED TO SAY THANK
YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION

SO MUCH BETTER AND WHO HAS. MADE
SO MANY SACRIFICES TO SUPPORT MY
ABILITY- AND PRIVILEGED TO BE
ABLE TO BE IN PUBLIC SERVICE. I

VERY MUCH. MISTER ROBINSON.
THANK YOU AND GOOD AFTERNOON.
SHOULD THE OPPORTUNITY. TO BE
WITH THIS COMMITTEE THIS
AFTERNOON AND WANT TO THINK OF
REDUCE SOME OF THE OPPORTUNITIES
FOR OF AS A REASON TO THE
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA. HI IN MY
EIGHT MONTHS IN THE ROLE I HAVE
FOCUSED ON LISTENING. OBSERVING
AND ENGAGING IN CONVERSATION
WITH MY FELLOW REGENTS. HI
INTERNUS AS A REGENT- WITH
PROFOUND SENSE OF BOTH HUMILITY.
AND RESPONSIBILITY. I BELIEVE
THE UC IS TRULY ONE OF THE GREAT
INSTITUTIONS IN THE WORLD. IT'S
IMPORTANT TO ALL CALIFORNIANS.
CANNOT BE OVEREMPHASIZED. I
DON'T KNOW OF ANY OTHER ENTITY
THAT DOES MORE FOR THE COMMON
GOOD. OR HAS ABILITY TO UNITE US
NOT DIVIDE US. AS WELL AS
PROVIDE EVERY INDIVIDUAL
ATTENTION YOU SEE THE OPTION TO
BECOME THEIR BEST SELF. THAT WAS
WHAT IT WAS FOR ME I'M A PRODUCT
OF- OF CALIFORNIA I WAS BORN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY AND- IN GREW
THERE UNTIL I WAS EIGHTEEN YEARS
OLD WHEN I ATTENDED UC BERKELEY.
AND EVER SINCE MY DAYS AS A
STUDENT UP INVOLVED IN CAMPUS
LIFE. I'VE WORKED TO INCREASE
THE LEVEL OF- OF- ENGAGEMENT
WITH STUDENTS THROUGHOUT THOSE
MANY YEARS. I FIRST SERVED ON
THE BOARD OF THE COLLEGE OF
LETTERS AND SCIENCE WHERE WE
INCREASED. US SUPPORT FOR
COUNSELING FOR STUDENTS. AND FOR
STUDENT ORIENTATION. BOTH OF
THOSE INITIATIVES WERE VERY
TARGETED INCREASING GRADUATION
RATES OF STUDENTS PRACTICALLY
FIRST GEN STUDENTS. I'VE BEEN
PROUD TO BE INVOLVED IN THE
CREATION OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMS.
AND INCREASE OPPORTUNE STUDENTS
IN LIFE SCIENCES AND PROVIDE
CRITICAL SCHOLARSHIPS. FOR
UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS. AND
FOR- SHIP HAS ALSO BEEN A FOCUS
OF MY EFFORTS. AND WORK TO
IMPROVE THE PRACTICAL
APPLICATION OF THE AN
INTELLECTUAL INGENUITY OF OUR
LEADING PROFESSORS TO PROJECTOR
IDEAS BANG ON THE WALLS OF THE
UNIVERSITY. IN ORDER TO GET IN
TO SERVE THE GREATER GOOD.
PROFESSIONALLY I'VE WORKED AND
LIVED IN THE CROSS SECTION OF
FINANCE AND THE AND THE AND
SCIENCE. AND I BRING THESE
EXPERIENCES TO OFFER FOR THESE
PAST THIRTY YEARS AS PART OF MY
EDUCATION NOW TO SERVE THE
ENTIRE UC SYSTEM. THE ISSUE
SUFFICIENT FACING THE UNIVERSITY
THAT MEANS THAT WE MAY DISCUSS
TOGETHER TODAY ARE COUNTLESS.
AND COMPLEX. AND I LOOK FOR
ENGAGING WITH YOU NOT JUST THIS
AFTERNOON BUT ALL TIMES TO
CONTINUE TO MAKE THE EFFORT TO
CALIFORNIA THE BEST CAN BE. I
TESTIFIED FOR YOU TODAY WELL
THERE'S NEITHER TRADITION OR ITS
REQUIRED BUT I THINK ABOUT
WHAT'S COMING BACK ELEVEN YEARS
FROM NOW. TO YOUR SUCCESSORS AND
REALLY HOLDING MYSELF
ACCOUNTABLE TO MY SERVICE OVER
THE LAST ELEVEN YEARS AND BEING
ABLE TO REPORT BACK. BECAUSE
THAT'S HOW I THINK ABOUT THIS
AND I THINK ABOUT EVERY DECISION
I'M GONNA FACE. IS ONE IS HOW IT
WILL BE MEASURED OVER THE COURSE
OF THE NEXT TEN ELEVEN YEARS. IN
THE SERVICE ON THE SUPPORT. I
WANT TO CLOSE BY ONCE AGAIN
ACKNOWLEDGING WE FACE MANY
ISSUES. THERE'S THREE THAT I'M
THE MOST FOCUSED ON. THE FIRST
IS HOUSING. AFFORDABLE HOUSING
IS A CRISIS IN AMERICA. I WANT
TO ACKNOWLEDGE A GREAT SUPPORT
THE PAST COUPLE YEARS. THE
LEGISLATURE GONE TO FUND IN THE
CREATION OF MORE MORE AFFORDABLE
HOUSING IT'S MANY OF OUR
CAMPUSES. BUT HAVING SAID THAT
HOUSING AND SECURITY. IS STILL
PROJECT PROJECTED TO BE A MAJOR
ISSUE FACING MANY OF OUR
STUDENTS. AND I WANT TO CONTINUE
TO WORK HARD TO DEVELOP
SOLUTIONS TO MAKE THAT BETTER.
SECONDLY AFFORDABILITY CONTINUES
TO BE A BIG ISSUE FOR ALL OF OUR
STUDENTS. TO HAVE A STUDENTS
GRADUATE WITH THAT. AND SO WE
NEED TO CONTINUE TO FIND AT FREE
PATHWAYS TO SUPPORT THOSE WHO
ATTEND THE UC. AND LASTLY I'M
VERY FOCUSED ON THE FACULTY. WE
CONTINUE WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO
WORK TO ATTRACT THE HIRED AND IN
THE BEST FACULTY. AND OR THAT
THEY MOST CLOSELY MIRROR THE
DIVERSITY OF OUR GREAT STUDENT
BODY. POPULATION NEED TO THE
ISSUES THE MOST FOCUSED ON.
THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SPEAK WITH YOU TODAY AND I LOOK
FOR TO OUR DISCUSSION. AND MORE
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE POTENTIAL
WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE YEARS
AHEAD. THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL
SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR STORIES
AND YOUR YOUR EXPERTISE- WE'RE
GONNA START ALAMEDA TURN TO THE-
BUDGET SUB. OF THE- YOU KNOW.
THE IDEA OF EDUCATION BUT- I'M
LOOKING DEVICE HERE AND SHE
WANTS TO MAKE SURE WE SAY HE'S A
FORMER SECRETARY OF. NATURAL
RESOURCES. AHEAD SENT EARLIER.
I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
BE ABLE TO SAY THAT IF KERN
COUNTY WORKS ON STATED BE THE
FOURTH LARGEST OIL PRODUCER IN
THE UNITED. STATES OKAY- THANK
YOU. AND THANK YOU ALL FOR
WILLING TO SERVE. AND FOR BEING
HERE THIS IS. IT NOT A PAID
POSITION AND I'M SURE THERE ARE
CERTAIN TIMES. IF YOU'RE RUNNING
A HOSPITAL OR RUNNING A CITY OR-
SOMEBODY THAT'S RUN EVERYTHING
ELSE IN THE UNIVERSE OF
WONDERING WHY YOU AGREED TO
SPEND SO MUCH TIME ON THIS- IN.
I THOUGHT MAYBE IT- MISTER
ROBINSON MAYBE IT DIDN'T. MADAM
CHAIR IS IT OKAY TO S. ONE
PERSONAL QUESTION YES I ASKED
RESPOND I SHOULD HAVE- SAID THAT
IN ADVANCE USUALLY WHEN WE HAVE
ONE PERSON IT'S A LOT EASIER.
WHEN WE HAVE MULTIPLE YOU CAN
DIRECT YOUR QUESTION TO SOMEONE
IF YOU WANT EVERYONE ELSE TO
ANSWER IT AS WELL JUST. INDICATE
THAT. OUR DIRECT MY QUESTION MR
ROBINSON AND ASK EVERYBODY IF
THEY HAVE SOMETHING TO ADD AND
YOU MENTIONED. HOUSING AND THREE
OF THE FIVE OF US SIT ON THE
EDUCATION BUDGET SUB COMMITTEE
AND WE HAVE JUST BEEN. WE HAVE
HAD OUR HEARINGS ON COMMUNITY
COLLEGES- A SEPARATE HEARING ON
CSU IN A SEPARATE HEARING LAST
WEEK ON YOU SEE AND HOUSING WAS
AT THE CENTER OF EVERY HEARING
IN THE DISCUSSION BOTH OF MONEY
AND WHAT'S GOING ON. AND AS I
SAID IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ONE WAS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
TRUSTEE OVER TWENTY YEARS AGO I
NEVER HEARD. OF AN ON HOW
STUDENT THAT NOW I ASK EVERY
TIME I GO AND IT'S BETWEEN ONE
AND 4% AND IT IS A REAL ISSUE
YOU SEE. OF MY HOME CAMPUS I'M
HEARING ABOUT IT OTHER PLACES.
ARM AND I THINK IT TIES TO ONE
OTHER ISSUE. AND THIS IS A WAY
TO JUST MAYBE GET YOU TO COMMENT
ON BOTH. FROM UC HAS TO GROW.
AND THERE'S AT LEAST TWO
CAMPUSES THAT HAVE SAID. THAT
THEY WILL NOT GROW IN LEICESTER
PROVIDING HOUSING AT THE SAME
TIME SO. WHERE'S YOUR COMMITMENT
TO HOUSING WHAT YOU ACTUALLY DO
TO IMPLEMENT IT HOW DO YOU AS A
REGENT INFLUENCE AND PUSH THAT
BUTTON. WHAT DO YOU SEE AS THE
MAJOR ELEMENTS OF. OF THE LACK
OF HOUSING OR THE NEED FOR
ACTION. HOLD CERTAIN AREAS ARE
OBVIOUSLY MORE IMPACTED THAN
OTHERS SANTA CRUZ AND IN SANTA
BARBARA THE MOST CHALLENGED
AREAS OF AS FAR AS THE AREAS
AROUND THIS PARTICULAR UC'S
RIGHT AND SO. IT'S HARD TO. TALK
BROADLY BECAUSE SOME OF THEM
MUCH MORE ACUTE AND MUCH MORE
EASIER MUCH MORE CHALLENGED. AND
YES WE WANT TO GROW WE'VE GROWN
25% OF OUR STUDENT BODY OVER THE
LAST TEN YEARS. AND THERE IS A
CATCH UP TIME THAT HAS TO THAT
HAS TO COOLEY GO ON. CLEARLY
THERE'S LOCAL ISSUES THAT HAVE
TO BE THOUGHT ABOUT FOR HIS
IMPACT ON THE ON THE LOCAL
SERVICES. THAT ARE BEING
PROVIDED ON THE ON THE LOCAL
POPULATIONS THAT ARE THERE THAT
ARE IN A BETTER IN PLACE TODAY
SO. I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER FOR
YOU TODAY ONE ON WHAT IS OF THE
MAGIC BULLET IF IT WAS I WOULD
HOPE THAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE
THOUGHT OF A TRUSTED. I THINK IT
REALLY NEEDS REQUIRES A LOT OF
RESOURCES I THINK OUR OF OUR-
OUR CHAU ON THE ON THE
INVESTMENT SIDE. HAS WANTED TO
PARTNER WITH THAT WITH THAT WITH
US AND THINK ABOUT BRINGING
SOLUTIONS AND ACTUALLY. THE
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA'S YOU KNOW
PENSION AND- AND ENDOWMENT FUNDS
IN ORDER TO INVEST ALONGSIDE. A
PRIVATE PART PARTNER PRIVATE.
PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS IN ORDER TO-
YOU KNOW CREATE AGAIN. A AN
AFFORDABLE SOLUTION TO THE SOME
OF THESE SOME OF THESE-
CHALLENGES THAT FACE. US FROM
HOPING THAT YOU KNOW THAT THAT
RESOURCE IS GOING TO BE AN
IMPORTANT ONE THAT'S GOING TO
SOLVE A LOT OF THE A LOT OF THE
ISSUES. BUT I DON'T- I DON'T YOU
KNOW. CLAIM TO HAVE A MAGIC
BULLET FOR EUNICE THIS
AFTERNOON. IF WHEN WE JUST GO
DOWN FROM HIM IF THAT'S- PERFECT
AND THE CHAIR. THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION AND I THINK IT'S A
REALLY CRITICAL WHEN WE LOOK AT
OUR INITIAL NUMBERS RIGHT NOW WE
HAVE- A- HOUSING CAPACITY FOR
ABOUT 38% OF OUR STUDENTS WHEN
WE THINK ABOUT. THE THINGS THAT
ARE NECESSARY TO BE ABLE TO GET
TO. EXPAND OUR DEBT FREE A
PASSWORD OR OR DEBT FREE PASSED-
PATHWAYS- FROM. HAVING
AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS CRITICAL
ELEMENT WE ALSO KNOW THAT WHEN
WE DON'T HAVE UNIVERSITY
AFFORDABLE HOUSING. THE IMPACT
THAT WE HAVE ON HOUSING COSTS IN
THE COMMUNITY AND THE IMPACT
PARTICULARLY ON THE WHICH
WORKERS IS QUITE SIGNIFICANT-
WAS. PLEASED TO SEE THAT WITH
YOUR SUPPORT. THEY'RE ABOUT
THIRTY EIGHT THOUSAND
ADDITIONAL. BEDS IN SOME FORMAL
DEVELOPMENT TWENTY TWO THOUSAND
FURTHER ALONG THAN THE OTHER
SIXTEEN THOUSAND. I THINK
THERE'S SOME THINGS THAT ARE
IMPORTANT I THINK EFFORTS SO
YOU'VE MADE TO- TO BE ABLE TO
HELP. ME TO MOVE FASTER ARE
REALLY CRITICAL- AND- AND WE
NEED TO AVAIL OURSELVES. OF
THOSE OPTIONS WE NEED TO- ENGAGE
COMMUNITIES ENGAGE COMMUNITIES
EARLY. I THINK WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY WHEN WE LOOK AT OUR
BROADER DEFERRED YOU KNOW OUR
OUR BROADER INFRASTRUCTURE
NEEDS. AROUND SPACE THAT IS
BEING MADE AVAILABLE AT THE
UNIVERSITY AND ELSEWHERE IN
TERMS OF OFFICE SPACE THAT IS NO
LONGER GOING TO BE USED AS
OFFICE SPACE. AND HOW DO WE USE
SOME OF THOSE FACILITIES FOR
BOTH CLASSROOMS- AND FOR- AND
POTENTIALLY FOR HOUSING AND FOR
OVERALL RE PURPOSING. THE AS- AS
AS MARK TALKED ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES IN- IN BERKELEY- IN
SANTA CRUZ AND SANTA BARBARA ARE
QUITE DIFFERENT THAN THE THAN
THE EXPERIENCE THAT WE HAVE. IN
MERCED AND- IN RIVERSIDE. SO
PART OF THIS IS WE NEED TO BE
LOOKING AT WHAT ARE THE
SOLUTIONS THAT MAKE SENSE AND
WORK FOR DIFFERENT CAMPUSES- THE
INVESTMENT OF AN ADDITIONAL
ABOUT TWO BILLION DOLLARS FROM
THE- FROM THE INVESTMENT FUNDS
TO BE ABLE TO HELP SUPPORT-
THIS- THIS AREA IS- IS AN
IMPORTANT ONE. I THINK WE NEED
TO FIGURE OUT HOW CAN WE
REPURPOSE EXISTING BUILDINGS HOW
CAN WE FIGURE OUT HOW TO. HOW TO
MOVE FASTER- BUT I THINK GMIT
MAKING PROGRESS IN THIS SPACE IS
GOING TO BE CRITICAL TO BE ABLE
TO ACCOMPLISH SOME OF THE- DEBT
FREE PASS WAYS THAT YOU SEE IN
THE- IN THIS PART OF THE
COMPACTS OF US. THOSE ARE SOME
THINGS THAT I'M INTERESTED IN
LOOKING AT AND- DEFINITELY OPEN
AND INTERESTED IN HEARING-
OTHERS. AND WANTING TO PARTNER
WITH YOU TO MOVE THE NEEDLE IN
THE SPACE THANK YOU. YOU FOR THE
QUESTION I DO WANT TO ALSO
EMPHASIZE- UGH REGENT MODEST ON
THOSE COMMENTS ABOUT MAKING SURE
THAT WE'RE ALSO ENGAGING
COMMUNITY AS WE GO IN THIS
PROCESS I THINK THAT'S- A VERY
IMPORTANT. I THINK AS REGION'S
YOU ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT WHAT
IS OUR ROLE I THINK ARE A BIG
PART OF OUR ROLE IS TO REALLY.
MAKE SURE THAT WERE
UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS THE
PIPELINE OF BOTH ENROLLMENT
GROWTH THAT WE'RE EXPECTING IN
DIFFERENT PARTS OF OUR SYSTEM
AND WHAT. THE FACILITIES THAT
INCLUDES INSTRUCTION RESEARCH
AND HOUSING THAT COME ALONG WITH
THAT GROWTH WILL LOOK LIKE. I
THINK OUR JOB IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE LOOKING AHEAD FOR THE
BIG PICTURE AND PLANNING FOR
WHATEVER THOSE. AGAIN
INVESTMENTS THAT WE NEED TO BE
MAKING AN HOUSING AND ALL OF
THOSE FACILITIES. WE'VE HEARD A
LOT ABOUT THE NEED FROM OUR
STUDENTS TO MEET BASIC NEEDS. SO
MANY OF OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE
COMING TO OUR CAMPUS ARE
STRUGGLING TO HAVE GOOD OUTCOMES
WHEN IT COMES TO EITHER STAYING
IN GRADUATING. WITHIN A- FOUR
YEAR PERIOD MANY OF THEM CANNOT
DO THAT ANYMORE WAS TAKING A
LONGER PERIOD TIME TO GRADUATE.
MANY OF THEM ARE FACING
STRUGGLES WHERE THEY MAY DROP
OUT OR HAVE TO HAVE CHALLENGES
WHERE THEY'RE FINDING OTHER JOBS
TO MAKE BASIC NEEDS OF HOUSING
AND FOOD. AND I THINK IS
REGION'S OUR JOB IF WE WANT TO
IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES AND WE
WANT TO CONTINUE TO GROW THE
UNIVERSITY TO MEET THE STATE'S
NEEDS IS TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE
WHOLE PICTURE ABOUT WHERE OUR
FACILITIES. ARE EITHER MEETING
AND KEEPING PACE WITH WHERE A
ROMAN GROWTH IS AND WHERE I NEED
IS. OR NOT. AND REALLY TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WAYS TO- MEET THOSE
GAPS WHERE THEY CAN. FOR FUNDING
ON AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND FOR
HOUSING FOR STUDENTS I THINK
PART OF THE BIG PICTURE IS
REALLY WORKING WITH THE STATE TO
ENSURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE
THE SUPPORT. THAT YOU HAVE
ALREADY PROVIDED GENERAL SLEEP
FOR US TO BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO
BUILD HOUSING. I THINK OTHER
CREATIVE WAYS OTHER FOR OTHER-
FINANCING STRUCTURES ARE THINGS
THAT WE SHOULD ALSO BE LOOKING
AT- IN ADDITION AS WELL AS
COLLABORATION WITH OTHER
SYSTEMS. THERE ARE A FEW OF OUR
UC CAMPUSES THAT ARE LOOKING
WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO DO
COLLABORATIONS AND TO BUILD
HOUSING THAT ARE MIXED. THAT I
THINK NOT ONLY. A POTENTIALLY
CREATE A BETTER BOTTOM LINE IN
TERMS OF THE FINANCIAL PICTURE
BUT ALSO CREATES A BETTER AND
SMOOTHER TRANSITION FOR STUDENTS
WHO ARE. TRYING TO TRANSITION
FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGE TO YOU
SEE AS WELL AND SO. I THINK SOME
OF THESE CREATIVE WAYS OF
THINKING ABOUT HOW WE PARTNER
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH ALL OF
YOU. ON FUNDING STRATEGIES TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF AFFORDABLE
HOUSING AND FOR US AS REGION'S
TO PUSH THE PICTURE AND
UNDERSTAND WHERE LONG TERM
PLANNING IS GOING TO BE. AN
IMPORTANT PART OF OUR JOB. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. SO I I'M NOT A-
EXPERT ON EXPANDING HOUSING
EITHER. BUT AS A HEALTH CARE
PROVIDER- I AND I'M VERY USED TO
CARING FOR PEOPLE WHO. HAVE
HOUSING IN SECURITY AND I
UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT. THAT HAS
ON PEOPLE'S LIVES- I AM DEEPLY
CONCERNED ABOUT STUDENTS BEING
ON HOUSE. BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND
THAT HOUSING IS FUNDAMENTAL IT'S
A FOUNDATION FOR WELL BEING AND
FOR THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS- I AM
LEARNING ABOUT THE UNIQUE NEEDS
OF EACH OF THE UC CAMPUSES. AND
I UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE OF
BALANCING. THE NEEDS OF THOSE
CAMPUSES AND STUDENTS AND THE
IMPACTS THAT HOUSING. PROJECTS
HAVE ON THE SURROUNDING
COMMUNITIES. AND I COMMIT TO YOU
THAT I WILL BE. A BIG STREAM
ONLY SUPPORTIVE OF- WHATEVER
IDEAS EMERGE FOR EXPANDING
HOUSING ON THE UC CAMPUSES SO
THAT WE CAN SUPPORT GROWTH. OF
THE UNIVERSITY'S ABILITY TO
EDUCATE STUDENTS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AND LET ME JUST MAKE A
COMMENT ON SOME OF THAT BECAUSE
IT WAS I LOVE THE FACT THAT YOU
TOUCH SOME OF THE RIGHT BUTTONS
AND- BECAUSE ON THE JOINT
PROJECTS. WE JUST HEARD THEM-
AND WITH IT WE HAD THIS CONCERN
BECAUSE THEY'RE CLEARLY FUNDED
HALF IN ONE SEGMENT BUT NOT
CLEARLY FUNDED IN THE OTHER
SEGMENT AND WE WERE WORRIED
ABOUT THEM GOING AHEAD AND- AND
KEPT ASKING WHAT DO WE HAVE TO
DO WE HAVE TO DO BUDGET CONTROL
LANGUAGE BUT IT ALSO SOUNDS
LIKE. HIS ONE WORKS QUALIFIED IN
ONE AND WE'RE NOT SURE IT'S
QUALIFIED IN THE OTHER PART AND
IT MIGHT TAKE SOME OVERSIGHT
FROM THE REGION'S TO DO THAT
KIND OF COORDINATION TO MAKE
SURE THOSE PROJECTS MOVE AHEAD.
AND THE GROWTH OVER TIME I
REALLY APPRECIATE. THAT THAT WAS
A MORE NUANCED A RESPONSE THAT
I'VE GOTTEN FROM. A LOT OF MY
CLOSE PERSONAL FRIENDS THAT ARE
ALREADY ON THE BOARD OF REGENTS
IN A- BECAUSE- I THINK PART OF
OUR ISSUE AND IT JUST CAME UP IN
OUR HEARING. IS THAT WITH THE
EXCEPTION OF MERCED BEING ADDED.
ARM WE HAVE JUST BEEN ADDING
ENROLLMENT TO EXISTING
FOOTPRINTS AND THAT IS IN PART
WHAT SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ARE
IS. I DON'T KNOW THAT BURKE
PLEASE FIX WHAT PRINT WAS EVER
DESIGNED FOR FORTY EIGHT
THOUSAND STUDENTS SHORT- THAT
EXPECTATION AND- AND IN SANTA
CRUZ IT IS- IT WAS VERY
DISCONCERTING TO BE THE FIRST
FORMER. UNDERGRADUATE EVER TO BE
ELECTED MAYOR AND THEN ONE OF MY
FIRST ACTIONS WAS TO SUE THE
UNIVERSITY- AND- HE DID PEOPLE
THINK IT IS A NEW- THE NAME BE
THING. BUT IF YOU PLOP. THE CITY
OF TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND PEOPLE
FACULTY STAFF AND STUDENTS IN
THE MIDDLE OF A TOWN OF SIXTY
THOUSAND AND YOU'RE COMPLETELY
EXEMPT FROM TAXATION AND LOCAL
LAND USE. THEN THE CITY IS
EXPECTED TO PICK UP THE COST OF
A LOT OF THIS. AND ABSORB A LOT
OF THE THINGS AND THAT IS THE
HEART OF THE ISSUE IT IS NOT
NECESSARILY THE NIMBY THING AND
SO IT REALLY TAKES. SOME KIND
OF. CONCILIATION TO WORK THROUGH
THOSE AND- AND WE AND OUR
HEARING TALKED ABOUT. WHAT'S THE
PLAN FOR FIVE OR TEN OR FIFTEEN
YEARS OUT FOR GROWTH BECAUSE- IF
IT IS TO PUT IT IN THE EXISTING
FOOTPRINT. THESE PROBLEMS IN
CERTAIN PLACES WERE ONLY BE MORE
EXACERBATED. AND IT'S JUST
SOMETHING THAT. YOU SET POLICY
IN YOUR AT THE HIGH LEVEL YOU'RE
GOING TO HAVE TO BE ASKING
QUESTIONS. I'M DOING. THAT THEN
THE OTHER ISSUE. I WAS GONNA ASK
ABOUT OUR NICE RE IN THANK ALL
FOR FEW FOR MEETING- A REALLY
APPRECIATED THAT EVEN THE ONE OF
THE MEETINGS I THINK. WAS TOO
QUICK FOR ALL OF US TO BE AS
THOUGHTFUL AS WE WOULD HAVE
LIKED TO HAVE BEEN. IS ON THE
ISSUE OF STUDENT AID AND- IT I'M
JUST COMING FROM LUNCH WITH THE
PUBLIC POLICY INSTITUTE THEY
WANT TO TALK ABOUT HIGHER
EDUCATION IN PART. AND I THINK
THAT UC HAS NOT DONE AS GOOD A
JOB. IN EXPLAINING TO THE PUBLIC
. BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE CAL GRANTS
THE NEW OF THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP. YOU'RE ACTUALLY
PROVIDING STUDENT AID FOR
FAMILIES UP TO A CERTAIN LEVEL.
AND WHENEVER THERE'S A TUITION
INCREASE EVEN THOUGH NOW THERE'S
THE NEW TUITION. SYSTEM
EVERYBODY SCREAMS BUT IT WAS
REALLY FALLING ON THE MORE UPPER
INCOME PEOPLE AND YOU SEE COULD
EVER EXPLAIN THAT. AND SO THE
REAL QUESTION IS HOW TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE STUDENT AID SYSTEM
IS ENHANCED AND IS DEFENDED SO
HOW AS REGENTS WOULD YOU- WOULD
YOU WORK ON THAT YOU'VE
INDICATED IT IS PRIORITIES HOW
WOULD YOU WORK ON IT AND- I
DON'T KNOW IF SOMEBODY WANTS TO
START AND LET ANYBODY ELSE.
WOULD SOMEONE LIKE TO START WITH
THAT. I CAN START. OKAY ALRIGHT.
ALREADY HAD DISTRICTS- WELL
FIRST OFF I THINK THE QUESTION
ABOUT AFFORDABILITY IS A-
IMPORTANT ONE. ONE OF THE
STATISTICS THAT I'VE LEARNED
SINCE COMING ON BOARD IS JUST
THE EXTENT OF PELL GRANT
STUDENTS AND FIRST GENERATION
STUDENTS THAT ARE PART OF OUR
UC- CAMPUS- FOOTPRINT AND WE
HAVE ABOUT 40% OF OUR STUDENTS
WHO ARE FIRST TIME. FIRST
GENERATION STUDENTS- WE HAVE
ABOUT THIRTY PLUS PERCENT WHO
ARE PELL GRANT STUDENTS AND SO
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT AFFORDABILITY
IT'S A REALLY BIG DEAL AND IS A
BIG ISSUE- YOUR QUESTION
EXPLICITLY IS ABOUT HOW DO WE DO
A BETTER JOB. AS A SYSTEM TO
COMMUNICATE WHAT OPPORTUNITIES
ARE AVAILABLE FOR ARE YOU SEE
STUDENTS UP I THINK WE CAN
ALWAYS DO A BETTER JOB THAN A
LOOK FORTY HEARING. IN WAYS AND
PLACES IN WHICH WE NEED TO DO
THAT BETTER. I THINK A
FUNDAMENTAL WAY IN WHICH WE ONE
MIGHT WANT TO APPROACH THIS FROM
A REGION'S PERSPECTIVES
UNDERSTANDING. HOW DO WE
INSTITUTIONALIZE KNOWLEDGE
TRANSFER INFORMATION TO OUR
STUDENTS. FOR EVERY INCOMING
STUDENT THAT COMES THROUGH- WE
SHOULD ALWAYS BE RUNNING PROCESS
EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND SHARE
PICTURES OF SHARE INFORMATION
ABOUT THE FINANCIAL AID. THAT IS
AVAILABLE SOME OF OUR CAMPUSES
HAVE BEEN VERY INNOVATIVE IN
TERMS OF BEING ABLE TO INTEGRATE
WITHIN THEIR EXISTING PROCESS
SEES THE ABILITY TO APPLY FOR
CALFRESH. APPLICATIONS TO BE
ABLE TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT COMES TO FOOD
SECURITY. SO I THINK PART OF
THINKING ABOUT HOW. WE CAN MAKE
THE SYSTEM A STRONGER ONE IS
FIGURING OUT WAYS TO
INSTITUTIONALIZE AND KNOWLEDGE
TRANSFER TO STUDENTS FROM THE
VERY GET GO TO REALLY. TRY TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING
INFORMATION ABOUT ALL THE
FINANCIAL AID PACKAGES ARE
AVAILABLE ASSISTING STUDENTS
THROUGH THE APPLICATION PROCESS
EDUCATING PARENTS AND FAMILIES
ESPECIALLY FIRST GENERATION. OF
FAMILIES IN LANGUAGE AND IN THE
COMMUNITY ABOUT HOW TO ACCESS
THOSE SERVICES. AND THEN MAKING
SURE WE'RE INTEGRATING OTHER
AVENUES AND OTHER RESOURCES THAT
ARE AVAILABLE IN THE STATE
INCLUDING LIKE I SAID CALFRESH
INTO THE INTO THE PROCESS. I
THINK THAT'S JUST ONE WAY TO
START AND THEN I THINK. AS THE
SENATORS HERE HERE FROM YOUR
CONSTITUENTS ABOUT BETTER WAYS
FOR US A. B. INTEGRATING AND
CONNECTING COMMUNITY. I THINK
THOSE ARE ALL THINGS THAT WE
SHOULD BE EXPLORING. THANK YOU
THANK YOU- ONE THING I'M GOING
TO ASK OUR- ALL FOUR OF YOU ARE
SO KNOWLEDGEABLE. ABOUT THE
TOPIC. AND YOU GET EXCITED AND
YOU WANT TO SHARE AS MUCH AS YOU
CAN. WE NEED TO SLOW DOWN JUST A
BIT. FOR THE COURT REPORTER-
TRUST ME I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN HAVING SO MUCH TO SHARE
THAT YOU WANT TO GET OUT VERSES.
SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER CLEARLY
YOU ARE FOR VERY- INFORMS
PEOPLE- AND SO I JUST WANT TO
PUT IN A PLUG FOR. FOR THE COURT
REPORTER- I WAS JUST GONNA ASK
IF ANY YES ELSE NOT MANDATORY.
ANYBODY ELSE WISH TO ADD TO THAT
AND YOU CAN I JUST THOUGHT IT
WAS A GOOD. CANCEL IT I AND
ACTUALLY YOU WERE DOING IT
BEFORE ON A TALK BECAUSE I'VE
BEEN A LOT OF HEARINGS WITH HER
SHE GETS EXCITED AND MOVE. AND
I'M FLOW FASTER TALKER IN
SPANISH THEN IN ENGLISH- LIVE IN
THE FOR ONE I THINK ONE PIECE
THAT IS THAT IS HELPFUL THAT I
SEE THAT THE UC HAS BEEN
STARTING TO WORK ON IS. WHEN
STUDENTS ARE COMING AND BEING
ABLE TO SHOW THE ENTIRE PACKAGE.
BOTH IN TERMS OF BOTH ON THE
COST SIDE SO THAT STUDENTS ARE.
CLEAR AROUND NON TUITION OTHER
COSTS THAT THAT THERE ARE
FACING. AS WELL AS WHAT'S
AVAILABLE ON THE ASSISTANCE SIDE
IN TERMS OF PELL. PERHAPS
IMPRINT CREASING THE EXTENT TO
WHICH WE MAKE AVAILABLE TO
STUDENTS WHEN THEY'RE APPLYING-
AND WITH COVERT TUITION BEING
ABLE TO SHOW THIS IS WHAT YOUR
PACKAGE LOOKS LIKE FOR A FOUR
YEAR PERIOD- WE CAN DO MORE TO.
MAKE IT CLEAR AND I THINK ONE OF
THE THINGS WE SOMETIMES STRUGGLE
WITH IS. HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT
IT'S A 100% ACCURATE FOR ALL OF
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF FINANCIAL
SITUATIONS VERSUS HOW TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE- PROVIDE THE
INFORMATION THE SIMPLE ENOUGH
FORMAT THAT PEOPLE CAN
UNDERSTAND. HERE'S WHERE I GO
FOR SUPPORT- IN AND HERE'S- AND
HERE'S THE HERE'S WHAT MIGHT
WHAT MY- YOU KNOW WHAT MY
FAMILY'S OBLIGATION WILL BE AT
THE OF THE BACK AND- AND I THINK
WE CAN WE CAN DO. THERE ARE
THERE ARE SOME IMPROVEMENTS WILL
WE CAN DO MORE OF THAT EARLIER
IN THE PROCESS OF FOLKS HAVE THE
INFORMATION THEY NEED US THERE
CONSIDERING THEIR OPTIONS. THANK
YOU. ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING
TO ADD. THEN LET ME WE ARE.
TRYING TO LIMIT OURSELVES ON
QUESTIONS. SO LET ME JUST MAKE
TWO VERY BRIEF STATEMENTS. OF
THINGS TO BE CONCERNED WITH AND
I HOPE WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
OVERTIME AND YOURS ARE OPEN AND
WE CAN DO THIS AND ONE IS IN OUR
HEARING LAST WEEK- WE HAD A LOT
OF PUBLIC TESTIMONY ABOUT THE-
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GRADUATE
STUDENT AGREEMENT. AND ONE IT
WAS IT'S BEEN MY EXPERIENCE IN
IN BOTH MY LEGISLATIVE RUNS.
THAT IF THERE'S A LABOR PROBLEMS
THAT FESTERS AND GOES ON FOR A
LONG TIME IT COMES TO THE
LEGISLATURE. SO IN ANY WAY THAT
YOU CAN. FORCE A FAIR OUTCOME-
WE DON'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED.
BUT IT LANDS IN OUR DOORSTEP IF
IT IS UNRESOLVED OVER A PERIOD
OF TIME. AND PEOPLE WERE
CLIMBING. IN THE TESTIMONY LAST
WEEK THAT. THAT IS NOT BEING
IMPLEMENTED IN THE WAY THAT IT
WAS INTENDED IN THAT THERE SOME
CONSEQUENCES THAT ARE DIFFERENT
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. THE
PRESIDENT ADDRESSED THEM IN THE
HEARING BUT JUST. ON LABOR. AND
SECONDLY. OVER TWENTY YEARS
UNTIL TWO YEARS AGO COOPERATIVE
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION. WAS NOT
GIVEN AN INFLATIONARY INCREASE.
IT WAS CAUGHT. BY WAY OVER 50%
JUST BY NEVER GETTING AN
INFLATIONARY INCREASE AND IF.
SOME OF THE USERS URBAN MIGHT
NOT BE FULLY FAMILIAR WITH IT.
THAT IS REALLY FORMA VISORS ALL
ACROSS THE STATE FOR SMALL
FARMERS THAT CAN'T AFFORD. THEIR
OWN IRRIGATION PERSON OR THEIR
OWN PAST PERSON OR- OF
PROPAGATION PERSON. AND SO TWO
YEARS AGO WE ADDED FIFTY EIGHT
PERCENT. TO THE THAT. ORDER THE
BUDGET TO RESTORE IT TO WHERE
DID BEEN. TWENTY YEARS AGO AND
IT IS BEING FELT ALL AROUND THE
STATE IN A GOOD WAY AND THEN THE
FINANCE DEPARTMENT FOR THE LAST
TWO YEARS. AT AN UNKNOWN WHAT
KIND OF CITY ADMINISTRATOR HAS-
HAS NOT RECOMMENDED AN
INFLATIONARY INCREASE AND I'M
SCREAMING ABOUT THE FACT IT WILL
BE BACK TO WHERE WE WERE DON'T
DO THIS BUT- I JUST WOULD ASK
THAT YOU BE CONSCIOUS OF THE
FACT THAT. THAT IS A VERY
POPULAR PROGRAM THROUGHOUT THE
AGRICULTURAL AREAS OF CALIFORNIA
IT ALLOWS YOU SEE TO PUT ITS
BEST FOOT FORWARD. AND IT IS
TRULY SERVICE TO PEOPLE THAT USE
IT AND SHOW. IT THE ONE WHO ARE
OUT TO CAMPUS THAT'S NEAR AN
AGRICULTURAL AREA YOU MIGHT GO
VISIT ONE. AND C. R. ONE OUT.
THE TO SEE A FARM OUTSIDE OF
WATSONVILLE WHERE DID. THIS
YOUNG GUY WHO JUST GRADUATED
LATINO FROM WATSONVILLE. HELP
THEM REDUCE THEIR WATER USAGE BY
15% BY SERVICE SAID THE FARMERS
HE CAN HAVE A JOB FOR A LONG
TIME. THEY SAID YES. AND AND IT
WAS JUST A GOOD CYCLICAL THING
AND THOSE THINGS MIGHT NOT
HAPPEN. IF THERE ISN'T THAT KIND
OF STUFF SO JUST BE AWARE OF
THAT PROGRAM WHICH- PROBABLY
SOMETHING YOU HAVEN'T COME
ACROSS YET SO THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS TO SERVE
AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH YOU OVER TIME. AND VICE
CHAIR. THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR-
THANK YOU FOR HAVING THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MEET YOU I'M
SORRY CAN MEET WITH ALL OF YOU I
DO APOLOGIZE- THE- AGAIN ECHO MY
COLLEAGUES' COMMENTS ABOUT
THANKING YOU FOR TAKING ON THIS
ROLE IN THIS POSITION. THE
CHALLENGING ROLE IN YOU DON'T
GET PAID FOR IT- SO I APPRECIATE
YOUR- TRUCE PUBLIC SERVICE A
HEART. RENDING MISS MONTESANO
SIDE THE OPPORTUNITY WORKING
WITH YOU WHEN I WAS IN
LEADERSHIP IN YOUR IN CHARGE THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE WILL NOT IN
CHARGE BUT YOU WERE LIKE SECOND
COMMAND. UNDER HIM. IN THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE IN YOU- YOU
ALWAYS IMPRESSED ME WITH ALL THE
DATA AND INFORMATION AND NEW
STUFF COMING IN WITH COVIDIEN
HOW WE NAVIGATED THROUGH THE
SYSTEM OF COVE IT. AND THEN
AGAIN TODAY RECALLING DATA
NUMBER SIXTEEN THOUSAND TWENTY
THOUSAND HERE SIX YOU KNOW
EVERYTHING THAT YOU RECALL. AT I
DO HAVE A QUESTION I THINK WE
TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT
YESTERDAY. AND WHAT CAN WE DO IN
OUR K. THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATION
TO STRENGTHEN STEM PROGRAM SO
THAT MORE STUDENTS IN OUR K.
THROUGH TELLS SYSTEM ARE ON A
PATHWAY. TO THE UC SYSTEM WITH
STEM AND WITH ALL THIS NEW
TECHNOLOGY COMING OUT TECHNOLOGY
CHANGING AS FAST AS IT DOES
EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND THERE'S A
NEW UPDATE ON AN IPHONE OR
THERE'S JUST NEW THINGS GOING ON
WHAT CAN WE DO. AND A NEW
SCIENCE IT'S AVAILABLE WHAT CAN
WE DO OR WHAT CAN YOU DO AS
REGENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE'S SOME TYPE OF PATHWAY OR-
A GREATER PATHWAY. FOR K.
THROUGH TWELVE STUDENTS TO
ACHIEVE STEM EDUCATION IN THE UC
SYSTEM. ARE YOU STARTING WITH
THIS MONTH TO SCIENTISTS K. I'M
A THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I WAS
JUST DID MERCED AND I WAS VERY
EXCITED TO LEARN OF- THAT THEY
HAD JUST EXTENDED THE OFFER FOR.
THE FIRST FIFTEEN STUDENTS WHO
ARE- ALL. OF FROM THE VALLEY WHO
ARE GOING TO COME TO MERCED. TO
START THEIR- THEIR BACHELOR OF
SCIENCE PROGRAM- WHEN HAVE- A
PROMISE OF ENROLLMENT INTO A
UCSF MEDICAL SCHOOL. WHEN THEY
GRADUATE AND LOOKING AT. THE
LEVEL OF INTEREST IN STEM
GRADUATE DEGREES- FOR. ALL OF
OUR CAMPUSES- IT'S- IT'S THE
IT'S THE KIND OF THING THAT IS
GOING TO BE GOOD FOR OUR FUTURE
AND GOOD FOR A CONTINUED FOCUS
ON INNOVATION AND ECONOMIC
GROWTH- WHAT WITH THE IN MORE
SAID IT WAS INTERESTING ALSO
LOOK AT THE WORK OF THE CHANCER
DOES WITH- AND THAT WORK FOR THE
MERCED TEAM IS DOING. WITH
COMMUNITY COLLEGES- WITH US CSU
AS WELL AS WITH K. TWELVE
DISTRICTS AND- AND WHEN WE LOOK
AT WHEN WE LOOK AT THESE
QUESTIONS AND WE LOOK AT THESE
ISSUES THERE IS OUR PIECE OF IT
BUT AS YOU MENTIONED IT'S THAT
WHAT WE DO FROM A PIPELINE
STANDPOINT. HOW DO WE
PARTICULARLY WITH STUDENTS WHO
WHO DON'T KNOW WHO DON'T HAVE
EXPOSURE TO- WHO WHO DON'T HAVE
A YOU KNOW PARENTS WHO ARE GOING
TO BE OR OR RELATIVES WHO ARE
GOING TO GUIDE THEM THROUGH THIS
PROCESS. HOW TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY HAVE THE OFFERINGS OF A
THREE G. REQUIRED CLASSES THAT
ARE GOING TO PREPARE THEM TO BE
ABLE TO COME AND MEET THE
REQUIREMENTS TO COME TO THE
UNIVERSITY. HOW DO WE MAKE SURE
THAT WE HAVE THE ENRICHMENT
PROGRAM HAS TALKING TO MY
COLLEAGUE WHO WAS TALKING ABOUT.
HER SON'S OPERATIVES DEBATING IN
A PROGRAM AT UCLA- THE ONE OF
THE ALL OPPORTUNE. TALKING TO.
CHANCE OF SAN DIEGO ABOUT
LOOKING. HOW CAN WE- EXPERIENCE
OF OUR OFFERINGS PARTICULARLY IN
SOME CASES WITH THE OPPORTUNITY
OF SOME ONLINE AND SOME ON
CAMPUS TO EXPAND THE EXTENT TO
WHICH OUR K. TWELVE DISTRICTS.
HAVE THE ABILITY TO. ACCESS SOME
DUAL ENROLLMENT. THERE ARE A LOT
OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS
THAT WE CAN DO THERE ARE SOME
WAYS IN WHICH WE CAN BENEFIT
FROM SOME OF THE POSITIVE AND
COBIT TO LOOK AT. DIFFERENT WAYS
IN WHICH- WE- WE DELIVER
SERVICES AND HOW WE THINK ABOUT
IT IN. FROM THE CONTINUUM FROM
THE OVERALL PIPELINE- AND- AND
PERHAPS YOU KNOW COST OF GIVING
GETTING STUDENTS. INTO THESE
FIELDS- WITH A VARIETY OF WAYS
BECAUSE IT MAY BE THAT SOME
STUDENTS ARE GOING TO INITIALLY
THINK THAT THEY'RE GOING TO BE.
GOING THE CAREER TECHNICAL
EDUCATION PATHWAY AND THEN THEY
BECOME. OUR STUDENTS AND- AND
OUR FUTURE GRADUATE SO I THINK
IT'S- WE HAVE WE HAVE NEW WAYS
OF BEING ABLE TO ACCESS THE
STUDENTS WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY
TO WORK TOGETHER. WITH OTHER
HIGHER RATED SEGMENTS. AS WELL
AS WORK WITH OUR K. TWELVE. WE
ARE K. TWELVE SCHOOLS- AND- AND
I SAW SOME OF US HAVE SEEN SOME
INTERESTING THINGS IT. IT
MERCED- ED SEEING DIEGO AND
OTHER PLACES AND THINK THAT THE
FOCUS OF- THE CONTACTS ON HOW WE
EXPAND ACCESS TO HIGH DEMAND
CAREERS MANY OF WHICH- ARE STEM
CAREERS. IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
US TO GET SPECIFIC ON ON
APPROACHES THAT THEN WE CAN
SCHEDULE. BROADER THAN THE
TARGETS THAT HAVE BEEN
ESTABLISHED THEIR PLACE I'M SURE
OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE FURTHER
THOUGHTS ON THIS BUT THE THOSE
ARE SOME. SOME THINGS HAVE BEEN
THINKING ABOUT IN THAT SPACE
THANK THEM I MEAN I'LL JUST ADD
YOU KNOW I'M- FINDING TEACHERS
SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGES WE HAVE NURSES AND
TEACHERS ARE IN. IN OUR SOCIETY
RIGHT AND AM OTHER STUDENTS YOU
KNOW HOW DO WE ATTRACT MORE
TEACHERS TO DO STEM. AND IT'S
INCREDIBLY CHALLENGING TO DO
THAT AND I WOULD THINK THAT
THERE BE SOME IDEAS THAT WE CAN
GENERATE OUT OF THE- THE
GRADUATE SCHOOLS. IN THE
UNDERGRADUATE SCHOOLS RIGHT AND
OUR AND OUR VARIOUS CAMPUSES.
AND SOME SORT OF WAY OF SOME
TEMPORARY AGAIN GIVING BACK FOR
THE BE ONE OR TWO YEAR TYPE
DISTANCE AND IN IN A VERY
SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
WHERE THEY COULD COME BE IN A
MORE PROACTIVE AND BE REAL
LEADERS IN THAT AREA. AND GIVE
THAT TO OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE
FOR THE KIDS TO LEARN FROM THEM
TO DO MORE INSTEAD. THE THING TO
BE ALL KINDS OF OPPORTUNITY TO
THINK ABOUT DOING THAT BUT I
WOULD FOCUS VERY MUCH ON
TEACHERS THAT WOULD INCREASE.
THE BODY TEACHERS WE THAT'S WE
LEAVE THAT FOR WITH SUFFERING
FROM I THINK. WHAT'S YOUR
DEFICIT IN TEACHER AND THAT YOU
HAVE A NICE ABOUT THAT WE TALK
ABOUT NEEDING THE- TEACHER FOR
THOSE PROGRAM. I JUST I JUST
KNOW FIRST FIRSTHAND FROM MY OWN
FOR MY OWN CHILDREN'S HIGH
SCHOOL KEEP KEEPING AS A STEM
TEACHER ON ON THE FACULTIES
INSTANTLY IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE
THERE'S CONSTANTLY THE PRIVATE
SECTOR'S CONSTANTLY. TRYING TO
TRACK THEM AWAY AND SO AGAIN
IT'S I THINK THAT. THE BEST
SOLUTION TO SOME SORT OF ALMOST
A REVOLVING TEMPORARY. RELEASE
THE STUDENT CENTER GETTING
EXPOSURE FROM. HERE FROM FROM
KNOWLEDGEABLE FOLKS AND- IN IN
TEACHING VISIT PROFESSION TO DO
THAT. THANK YOU DR BACHELOR. OF
I WAS GOING TO SHARE MY PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE- I HAVE TWO BOYS THAT
ARE NOW. COLLEGE JUNIORS. AND
THEY CAME TO ME WHEN THEY WERE
IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND SAID
YOU KNOW WE REALLY LIKE MATH BUT
WE'RE NOT GETTING CHALLENGING
ENOUGH MATH IN SCHOOL. SO I
LOOKED AROUND FOR A MATH
ENRICHMENT PROGRAM AND- I WAS
FORTUNATE TO FIND ONE AT UCLA-
CALLED UCLA NOT CIRCLE. WHERE
THEY WENT EVERY SUNDAY- MY
HUSBAND AND I TOOK THEM THERE
AND THEY LEARNED. ON MATH
CONCEPTS THAT THEY WEREN'T
TAUGHT IN SCHOOL. THEY DID
PROBLEM SOLVING THEY WERE
PREPARED TO PARTICIPATE AND MATH
COMPETITIONS. AND ON OVER THE
YEARS WE WATCHED IT. REALLY
REINFORCED THEIR LOVE OF MATH
AND INSPIRE THEM. TO CONTINUE
STUDYING MATH AND SCIENCE. AND
TODAY ONE OF MY SONS IS PRE MED
IN THE OTHER ONE IS STUDYING
ENGINEERING. SO I REALLY BELIEVE
IN THE POWER OF ON THESE
ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS I ALSO
BELIEVE THAT MENTORING IS
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT IN OUR KIDS
NEED TO SEE ROLE MODELS AND THEY
NEED TO. UNDERSTAND HOW THEY CAN
GET TO WHERE THESE ROLE MODELS
ARE AND I THINK FOR A LOT OF
KIDS THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT EXPOSED
TO THAT AT HOME. SO I THINK THE
UC CAN PLAY A ROLE IN BOTH THE
ENRICHMENT THE MENTORING
PROGRAMS ON OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE
ROBOTICS YOU KNOW THOSE ARE
GREAT PROGRAMS FOR GETTING KIDS
IT'S INTERESTED. IN STEM AS
WELL. AND I'M SHARING CONTENT
ACROSS CAMPUSES THE OF ONE
CAMPUS HAS A PROGRAM LIKE UCLA
MATH CIRCLE THAT'S WORKING
REALLY WELL SHARING THAT CONTENT
AND SEATING IT AT OTHER
CAMPUSES. BUT I AGREE WITH THE
COMMENTS OF MY EIGHT FELLOW
REGENTS MADE AS WELL AND
INCLUDING GIVING ACCESS TO-
ADVANCED CLASSES TO STUDENTS AT
SCHOOLS WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE
ACCESS TO THOSE CLASSES. THANK
YOU. THE ONLY THING I WOULD ADD
ADD TO THIS IS ALSO A MUCH OF
WHAT. WAS COVERED ABOUT THE
PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE K. THROUGH
TWELVE EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
AND LOCAL COMMUNITIES IS
IMPORTANT- BUT I THINK THE OTHER
PIECE THAT WE NEED TO BE
THINKING ABOUT IS THE STATE AS A
WHOLE IS ALSO CONNECTIVITY. TO
INTERNET. AND ESPECIALLY IN
LOCATIONS AND PLACES THAT ARE
HARD TO HARDER TO REACH- MANY OF
OUR UC'S ARE IN CERTAIN
LOCATIONS THAT ARE CLOSE TO
URBAN CENTERS BUT I WOULD SAY
EVEN IN SAN FRANCISCO. YOU KNOW
WE- OVER CODE WE REALLY SOLVE IT
THE BIG DISPARITY AND GAP FOR
PLACES THAT DIDN'T HAVE HIGH
SPEED INTERNET CONNECTION AND
WHAT IT MEANT FOR LACK OF ACCESS
TO INFORMATION HEALTH
INFORMATION AMONGST OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES. I REALLY THINK AS
A STATE IF WE'RE ABLE TO ALSO
BROUGHT AN ACCESS TO THE
INTERNET ESPECIALLY IN HARD TO
REACH PLACES. THAT WILL ALSO GO
A DISTANCE TO HELPING TO MAKE
SURE THAT STAND TECHNOLOGY IS AT
THE FOREFRONT FOR ALL
COMMUNITIES. I THINK YOU ASKED
THAT QUESTION ON BEHALF OF MY
FRIEND CRISTINA LASSITER WHO AND
LESTER. WHOSE CHILDREN ARE VERY
INTERESTED IN CODING AND THEY
DON'T HAVE IT IN THAT PART OF
LOS ANGELES WHERE SHE HAS AND SO
SHE- HAS A SINGLE MOM TED SHE-
SAVES EVERY SINGLE DOLLAR. AND
DOES EVERYTHING SHE CAN TO GET
THAT ADDITIONAL- IT'S TUTORING
AND MENTORING FOR CODING. BUT
NOT EVERY PARENT HAS THAT
AVAILABILITY TO DO THAT- EITHER
CAPACITY BECAUSE TWO PART TIME
JOBS ARE. FULL TIME JOBS THAT
DON'T PAY ENOUGH FOR WHATEVER
THE CASE MAY BE. AND I KNOW THAT
SHE PRIORITIZES HER CHILDREN AND
THEM. I JUST WANT TO KNOW HOW WE
WERE GOING TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN-
I WAS AN **** QUESTION BUT YOU
DID BRING UP THE UC CHANCELLOR-
AT SAN DIEGO. AS HE RECENTLY A
RAISE. SO I DON'T IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHO ANSWERS THIS
QUESTION- IT'S ONE POINT ONE
MILLION DOLLARS I DO UNDERSTAND
THAT A LOT OF THAT RESOURCES WAS
GIVEN BY AN ENDOWMENT- BUT THAT
STILL CREATES. AS THE IN THE
REAL WORLD I'M A BUSINESS OWNER.
AND I HAVE SIX- WHAT I CALL TEAM
LEADERS OR MANAGERS YOU KNOW
THAT WORK- INTERNEES GLORIA
HERNANDEZ HE RUNS THE COMPANY.
AND WE TRY TO KEEP THINGS BASED
ON PERFORMANCE AND BASED ON-
LIKE EQUALITY IN YEARS SERVICE
THAT KIND OF THING. AND I GUESS
MY QUESTION IS THAT. I KNOW IT'S
DIFFERENT THAN A BUSINESS AND
YOU DO HAVE AN ENDOWMENT THAT
COVERED A LARGE PORTION OF THAT
SCENE DIEGO. BUT ONE POINT ONE
MILLION DOLLARS I DON'T HAVE AN
ENDOWMENT PROVIDER IN MERCED
THAT'S GOING TO CREATE THAT SAME
OPPORTUNITY FOR MY RESEARCH MY
MERCED. AND CHANCELLOR I JUST.
WEAR MY BAKERSFIELD YOU KNOW I
JUST HOW DO YOU BALANCE THAT
LIKE HOW DO YOU BALANCE THE FACT
THAT. WHEN YOU SEE CHANCELLOR
MAKES ONE POINT ONE MILLION
DOLLARS AND- THERE'S A
COMPENSATION ENDED TAXPAYER
DOLLARS AS WELL FUNDED. FOR
THAT. THAT WE JUST WELL SO
ANYBODY. WHO WILL- I WILL AT
SOME A START BUT A MAN OF VICE
CHAIR. I WILL LET THEM ANSWER
THAT QUESTION AND THEN AS AN
ASIDE I WILL HAVE THIS
CONVERSATION WITH YOU AFTERWARDS
OR ARE ON THE RECORD AS WELL. AS
UC SAN DIEGO WE WORK VERY HARD
TO PULL THIS OFF BUT I WANT TO
HEAR WHAT YOU HAVE TO SAY. I'M
HAPPY TO START AND- IN A DIRT
SAY. I THINK IT IT IS IT IS A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IT'S A
SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER COMPENSATION
AND THEN THE COMPENSATION OF THE
CHANCELLOR TURNED OUT ANOTHER
OPPORTUNITY OTHER. LOCATION AND
AS I THINK ABOUT IT. IT'S A
REALLY SIGNIFICANT IMPORTANT
INVESTMENT I HAVE BEEN REAL I
DID NOT KNOW THE CHANCELLOR
UNTIL I. HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SERVE WHEN I HAVE BEEN REALLY
IMPRESSED. WITH WITH HIS WORK
AND- WITH HIS VISION WITH HIS
COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY.
OUTSIDE OF- YOU SEE- UCSD.
IMMEDIATELY THE INTEREST IN THE
INNOVATION THAT I SEE IN THE
CAMPUS IN TERMS OF ENSURING THAT
STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO- DID
THAT DID THAT THERE'S YOU KNOW
INDUSTRY COMING TO CAMPUS AND
THAT THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
STUDENTS TO GET PRACTICAL
EXPERIENCE ALONG WITH THEIR-
DEGREES. THE ABILITY TO ATTRACT
INVESTMENT INTO THE UNIVERSITY
AND WHAT. THE VISION AND THE
WORK THAT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED
THERE. IN TERMS OF BROADER
COMPENSATION FOR A CHANCELLOR'S.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK WE
HAVE TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT AND
WE HAVE TO CONTINUE TO LOOK AT.
WHAT WE DO WITH OUR CHANCELLOR
IS WHAT WE DO WITH OUR TOP
TALENT BUT ALSO HOW ARE WE
MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE FOR
COMPENSATION WITH OUR LOW LOWEST
PAID EMPLOYEES. WITHIN WITHIN
THE UNIVERSITY AND SO- THIS
INVEST THE AYE AYE SO I SEE IT
AS AN INVESTMENT I SEE IT AS AN
INVESTMENT THAT I SUPPORT I SEE
TO SOMETHING THAT IS STRONG FOR.
FOR NOT ONLY US IN DIEGO BEFORE
US IS A SYSTEM AND I THINK WE
NEED TO LOOK AT WATER- WHAT WHAT
WHAT ARE OTHER THINGS THAT WE
NEED TO DO IN OTHER AREAS TO
ENSURE THAT WE RETAIN AND WE
SUPPORT. OUR CANCERS THAT ARE
PROVIDE THAT ARE DOING REALLY
HARD JOBS AND DOING REALLY
IMPORTANT WORK FOR US- THE
INCREASE WAS FUNDED WITHIN A
DAY. THE IN WILL FUNDED TIME SO
IT IS PROVIDE AND IT IS A- TO
SUPPORT THE INCREASE FOR. FOR
THE DURATION AND ENSURE THAT
THIS IS NOT HAPPENING AT THE
EXPENSE OF ANYTHING ELSE AND AS
I MENTIONED I THINK IT'S
SOMETHING THAT IS. A NET OUT FOR
THE CAMPUS IN AND OUT FOR THE
UNIVERSITY. AND WE NEED TO LOOK
AT. ISSUES A COMPENSATION. MORE
BROADLY AND WHETHER WE NEED TO
BE DOING MORE AND WHAT IS THE
YOU KNOW AND IN AREAS WHERE
PERHAPS WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME
ABILITY TO BE ABLE RAISE OUTSIDE
FUNDS. YOU KNOW HOW TO HOW DO WE
MOVE FORWARD ON THAT TO MAKE
SURE THAT. THAT WE HAVE THE
LEADERS THAT WE NEED. TO BE ABLE
TO DO THE WORK THAT LEADS TO A
STRONG UNIVERSITY. OF THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTION. THANK YOU.
VERY MUCH I KNEW YOU WOULD JUMP
IN AN ANSWER THAT. IF I MAY.
CENTER WOULD JUST ONE ADDITIONAL
POINT DISAGREE WITH EVERYTHING
SHE SAID- THE ADDITIONAL POINT
IS THAT THE CHANCELLOR SALARIES
HAVE HISTORICALLY LAGGED.
NATIONAL AVERAGES FOR OTHER
PUBLIC UNIVERSITY LEADERS ACROSS
THE COUNTRY. WE WERE IN THE LIKE
THE BOTTOM TWENTY FIVE PERCENT.
IN IN IN WHEN WE COMPARE THE
SALARIES JUST A COUPLE YEARS AGO
AND I THINK THEY GAVE EVERYONE.
A MODEST AMOUNT OF REYES. AND SO
WE HAVE BEEN PLAYING CATCH UP AS
A SYSTEM. VERSUS OUR PEERS AND
IN MUCH MORE LOWER COST
COMMUNITIES LOWER COST OF LIVING
PLACES. TO COMPETE AGAINST THIS
TOWN A NATIONWIDE. THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND I MY
FINAL QUESTION ACTUALLY GOES TO
A DOCTOR BACHELOR. WITH YOUR
MEDICAL BACKGROUND AND YOU'RE
THE ONLY ONE WITH THE MEDICAL
BACKGROUND- YOU KNOW I WASN'T
LOOKING AT HOSPITALIZATION WHEN
I GOT HERE THIS YEAR WE HAD-
LET'S PACKAGE ALL OUT. THEN YOU
KNOW MADERA HOSPITAL. A CLOSED.
AND DURING THE CONVERSATIONS WE
HAD WORKING WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
OFFICE HE'S RESCUING. THE OTHER
HOSPITALS THAT ARE IN A-
CATASTROPHIC SITUATION. BUT PART
OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD
WAS POSSIBLY TURNING AND- MADERA
HOSPITAL INTO A TEACHING
HOSPITAL IN PARTNERING WITH.
MERCED WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS
ABOUT THAT. WELL I CAN TELL YOU
THAT. RE OPENING OF IN OKAY
COMMUNITY HOSPITAL IN SOUTH LA
WAS A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN. THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AND THE
COUNTY. IN BRINGING BACK A
HOSPITAL THAT HAD CLOSED. IN TWO
THOUSAND SEVEN. SO I THINK THAT
THERE IS A MODEL FOR HOW TO DO
SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND I THINK
IT SHOULD BE LOOKED AT CLOSELY
THANK YOU FOR ANYONE WHO CARES I
REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT
HAPPEN. AM I THINK WE NEED A
GOOD TEACHING HOSPITAL WHERE
INDIVIDUALS FROM THE CENTRAL
VALLEY WILL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO EXPAND. AND YOU KNOW THEIR
RESIDENCY AND THEIR TRAINING
PROGRAMS AND THEN I REALLY DO
BELIEVE THAT WHEN YOU COME FROM
THE CENTRAL VALLEY IF YOU'RE
EDUCATED THERE. AND YOU GO TO
SCHOOL THERE YOU GO TO COLLEGE
THERE- OR THE UC SYSTEM THERE IT
DIDN'T YOU STAY THERE AND YOU
BENEFIT THE PEOPLE IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY THAT ARE OFTEN
OVERLOOKED SO. I LIKE I SAID I'D
LIKE TO SEE THAT HAPPEN IF
THERE'S A WAY TO MAKE THAT
HAPPEN THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME
ASK YOU A FEW QUESTIONS. THANK
YOU- SENATOR SMALLWOOD CUEVAS.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR AND THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE I
ENJOYED OUR TIME TOGETHER IT WAS
A GROUP CHAT. THAT WE DIDN'T GET
A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER BUT I
WANT TO SAY- HAVING WORKED IN
THE UC SYSTEM FOR MANY YEARS
AND- IT'S GOOD TO SEE.
CALIFORNIA REFLECTED IN OUR
NOMINEES BOTH IN- THE
COMMUNITIES AND BACKGROUNDS THAT
YOU'RE COMING FROM BUT ALSO
CERTAINLY THAT PASSION FOR
MAKING SURE THAT OUR SYSTEM IS.
IS BETTER- THAN WHEN YOU FOUND
IT. AND I REALLY APPRECIATED
THAT TWELVE YEAR. EVALUATION
WHAT HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT- THAN
WHEN I ARRIVED SO I WANT TO SAY
THANK YOU ALL. FOR THAT AND- MY
GOODNESS- A COLLEAGUE- FROM
SANTA CRUZ A LIFTED UP A NUMBER
OF THINGS. FROM OUR BUDGET- SUB
ONE HEARING BUT I JUST WANTED
TO. JUST DO A ME TO YOU ON THIS-
YOU A W. CONVERSATION I THINK WE
TALKED ABOUT IT IN OUR GROUP
WHERE- YOU KNOW. WE HAVE HEARD
FROM OUR CONSTITUENTS IN OUR
DISTRICT ABOUT HOW GRADUATE
STUDENTS ARE NOT BEING HIRED AT
THE LEVEL- THAT THE AGREEMENT-
HAS PUT FORTH AND- IN SOME
INSTANCES WERE TOLD THAT THERE
ARE CAMPUSES THAT ARE- ONLY
ALLOWING DISCRETIONARY FUNDING.
TO HIGHER GRAD STUDENTS- OR TO
HIRE MINORITY FACULTY MEMBERS
AND THAT THESE TWO POTS OF
FUNDING ARE BEING PITTED AGAINST
EACH OTHER WHICH I THINK IS
REALLY. PROBLEMATIC AS WE ARE
WANTING TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
ARE. YOU KNOW RESPECTING OUR
GRADUATE STUDENTS RIGHT IN
MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE BRINGING
THEM INTO OPPORTUNITY BUT WE
ALSO NEED CAMPUSES THAT HAVE-
FACULTY THAT REFLECTS OUR
COMMUNITY AND THE DIVERSITY OF
LEARNING RIGHT THAT WE WANT TO
OFFER SO I JUST WANT TO SAY HOW
IMPORTANT IT IS- AS MY COLLEAGUE
MENTIONED THAT. YOU KNOW THESE
ISSUES DON'T COME BACK TO US BUT
THAT YOU SEE FIGURES OUT A WAY-
TO DO ALL OF THE THINGS THAT WE
KNOW THIS THE SYSTEM IS CAPABLE
OF DOING IN TERMS OF EQUITY AND
INCLUSION AND ECONOMIC. EQUITY
FOR STAFF. I REALLY APPRECIATED-
AND THE CONVERSATION THAT WAS
EARLIER WE TALKED ABOUT
BALANCING THE NEEDS OF OUR
STUDENTS AND ALSO YOU KNOW THE
IMPACT OF SURROUNDING
COMMUNITIES AND- I WANTED TO
RAISE. TWO QUESTIONS ONE AND
TWO. REGION CHU AND- TO REJECT-
ROBINSON. ABOUT THIS QUESTION OF
INVESTMENT- BUT HOUSING IS A
CRISIS FOR SO MANY CERTAINLY FOR
OUR STUDENTS AND- EVERY DOLLAR
THAT WE SPEND TO BUILD STUDENT
HOUSING IS GOING TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE NOT JUST FOR THOSE
STUDENTS. BEFORE THE COMMUNITY
AND WE TALKED ABOUT HOW. WE CAN
THINK ABOUT A MULTIPLIER EFFECT-
HOW CAN WE CREATE POLICIES
SYSTEM WIDE THAT REALLY- THESE
THESE INVESTMENTS AS AS A
MULTIPLIER AND SO MIGHT MY
FOLLOW UP QUESTION FOR. FOR YOU
MISS YOU AND I REALLY
APPRECIATING WHERE YOU'RE COMING
FROM IN TERMS OF THE CITY AND
COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO AND SOME
OF THE INNOVATION AROUND
WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT AND-
CAPITAL PROJECTS- I'D I WANTED
TO HAVE YOU SHARE YOUR ANSWER
ABOUT WAYS WE CAN THINK ABOUT.
CREATING A CONSTRUCTION CAREERS
PROGRAMS WHERE WE HAVE TARGET
LOCAL HIGHER THAT'S TIED TO HIGH
ROAD CONSTRUCTION CAREERS- AND
REALLY BENEFITING CERTAINLY THE
CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSING IN
ADDRESSING THAT NEED BUT ALSO
BRINGING SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES
INTO THE OPPORTUNITY YOU HAD A
REALLY GOOD ANSWER ABOUT WAYS TO
THINK ABOUT THIS I WOULD LOVE
FOR YOU. TO SHARE THAT WITH WITH
THE REST OF THE DICE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH SENATOR- THANK YOU
AGAIN FOR HAVING A CONVERSATION
WITH US WE HAD OF A REALLY GREAT
CONVERSATION ABOUT. THE IMPACT
OF YOU SEE ON OUR COMMUNITIES
AND IN PARTICULAR BECAUSE OF THE
BUYING POWER THAT AND THE
CONSTRUCTION AND WORK THAT
HAPPENS THAT YOU SEE WE'VE GOT A
FORTY BILLION DOLLAR SYSTEM.
THAT SPENDS MONEY ON BUILDING
PROJECTS IN COMMUNITIES DOES
CONSTRUCTION WORK THAT PER CURES
MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
WORTH OF COMMODITIES AND GOODS
AND SERVICES ACROSS THE STATE.
AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE
SEEN IS THE IMPACT OF INVESTING
SOME OF THOSE DOLLARS IN LOCAL
COMMUNITIES AND IN CALIFORNIA SO
THAT THE BENEFITS THAT
MULTIPLYING THE FACT OF BEING
ABLE TO HAVE PEOPLE HIGHER. OF
FOLKS FROM THE COMMUNITY MAKING
SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO GO TO
THE RESTAURANTS THE COMMUNITY
SHOP IN THE COMMUNITY ALL OF
THAT HAS A HUGE EFFECT. IN OUR
OUR LOCAL AREAS IN SAN FRANCISCO
WE DO SOME OF THIS WORK BOTH
WITH LOCAL HIRING BUT ALSO
CONTRACTING OPPORTUNITIES. AND I
THINK THAT ONE OF THE THINGS
I'LL BE INTERESTED IN TAKING A
LOOK AT OUR OUR WHAT ARE THE
CURRENT PROGRAMS THAT WE HAD TO
TRY TO OPEN UP THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES. I DO KNOW YOU SEE
HAS A GOAL OF GETTING 225% SMALL
BUSINESS PARTICIPATION BUT I
THINK PART OF WHAT WE NEED TO DO
IS UNPACKING WHAT THAT REALLY
MEANS AND HOW THAT ACTUALLY GETS
IMPLEMENTED WITHIN OUR SYSTEM.
THINGS LIKE HOW DO WE NOT ONLY
OUT REACH TO OUR LOCAL
BUSINESSES AND SMALL BUSINESSES
TO LET THEM KNOW OF UPCOMING
OPPORTUNITIES I THINK IT'S GOING
TO BE VERY VERY IMPORTANT
BECAUSE- YOU CAN'T. POSSIBLY GET
YOUR BUSINESS READY TO GO TO BED
UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT'S COMING
DOWN THE PIPELINE YOU CAN'T DID
ON SOMETHING IF IT COMES OUT
TOMORROW AND YOU DON'T HAVE THE
STAFFING TO MEET THAT NEED. I
THINK PART OF WHAT WE NEED TO BE
DOING IS THINKING ABOUT. HOW IT
IS THAT WE ARE LETTING OUR
COMMUNITIES AND OUR SUPPLIERS
LOCAL SUPPLIERS NO OF
OPPORTUNITIES IN ADVANCE THAT
SOMETHING THAT IS ACTUALLY VERY
IMPORTANT FOR BUSINESSES TO BE
ABLE TO PLAN AND PREPARE. I
THINK BEING ABLE TO POTENTIALLY
TAKE A LOOK AT. CONSTRUCTION
PROJECTS AND HOW YOU BREAK UP.
REALLY LARGE PROJECTS INTO
SMALLER PROJECTS THAT ACTUALLY
CAN BE BID. AND WON BY LOCAL
BUSINESSES IS SOMETHING WE
SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT. THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT OPENS UP
OPPORTUNITIES AND ALLOWS OUR
LOCAL BUSINESSES TO POTENTIALLY
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GROW
FRANKLY. AND THAT'S VERY VERY
IMPORTANT. AND I KNOW THAT-
THERE'S A LOT OF CONVERSATION
AROUND HOW IT IS THAT WE
CONTINUE TO EMPLOY THE WORK
FORCE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. IN
ITSELF THE UC HIRES AND HAS.
CLOSE TO TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
EMPLOYEES. AND SO IN IN ITSELF
THE OPERATIONS THAT YOU SEE
ALREADY IS A HUGE ECONOMIC
ENGINE IN TERMS OF BEING IN. A
BIG EMPLOYER IN THE STATE. BUT
ON TOP OF THAT ALL OF OUR
PROJECTS THEN ALSO HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE MORE PEOPLE
IN THE STATE AND I THINK THOSE
ARE OTHER OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE
CAN TAKE A LOOK AT. SENATE
APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION.
THAT WE HAD AND- TRY TO THINK
CREATIVELY IN WAYS TO. TO FIGURE
OUT HOW YOU SEE MEETS OUR GOALS.
THANK YOU FOR THAT AND YOU KNOW
JUST. ABOUT IDEA LOCAL HIGHER
PROVISION AND REALLY SEEING HOW
WE CAN BE APPLIED. AND
PARTICULARLY THOSE WOMEN OWNED
AND MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES.
YOU KNOW HOW CAN WE KNOW THE
CHALLENGES THERE IS OFTEN THE
BONDING IT'S THE CAPITALIZATION
AND WHEN THEY'RE TOO LARGE FOR
PROJECT. THE OPPORTUNITY TO
COMPETE IS JUST OUT OF REACH
RIGHT SO I REALLY APPRECIATED
SOME OF THE INNOVATION AROUND
BREAKING IT UP IN TRYING TO-
BRING FELLOW REGENTS INTO THIS
CONVERSATION ABOUT HOW WE CAN.
BE MORE HAVE MORE ACCESS. AND
MISTER ROBINSON I REALLY
APPRECIATED OUR CONVERSATION
ABOUT THIS QUESTION OF
INVESTMENT BECAUSE YOU SIT ON
THE INVESTMENT- AND FINANCE
COMMITTEE AND- YOU KNOW WE
TALKED ABOUT BLACKSTONE- NOW
BEING. HEAVILY INVOLVED IN- THE
PORTFOLIO- OF YOU SEE
INVESTMENTS. AND I WAS REALLY
SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT THE
REGION'S HAVE NO OVERSIGHT OF
THAT- THAT. THAT THE STAFF CAN
ACTUALLY MAKE THOSE DECISIONS
WITHOUT APPROVAL- OF THE BOARD
OF REGENTS WHICH WAS REALLY
SURPRISING TO ME BUT YOU DID
SHARE WHAT ARE THE WAYS THAT WE
CAN- HOLD. THIS PARTICULAR-
PROBLEMATIC. A REAL ESTATE-
INCOME TRUST WHICH YOU KNOW IS.
MASSIVELY BIT HAS ALREADY BEEN
SUED FOR MASSIVELY EVICTING
LARGELY PEOPLE OF COLOR- DURING
THE PANDEMIC FROM THEIR HOMES-
AND AT THE SAME TIME GOING IN
AND BUYING WHOLE NEIGHBORHOODS-
WHICH IS ALSO. ADDING TO AN
FUELING OUR OUR HOUSING CRISIS.
ABOUT YOU LIFTED UP SOME WAYS
THAT THAT. THAT YOU ARE-
ADVOCATING FOR IN TERMS OF HOW
THE MONITORING OVERSIGHT CAN BE
DONE AND HOW TO HOLD THE COMPANY
ACCOUNTABLE EVEN THOUGH THERE IS
A PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP NOW
WITH BLACKSTONE IN THE
UNIVERSITY. THANK YOU FOR THE
GOOD FOR THE QUESTION AND I AND
I DID FOLLOW UP FROM OUR
CONVERSATION YESTERDAY AND SPOKE
TO THE- THE CHIEF INVESTMENT
OFFICER- THIS MORNING ABOUT IT-
TO GET TO SOME MORE GRANULAR ON
WHAT I WAS ABLE TO- TO SAY
TODAY. FOR THE REST OF THE
MEMBERS OF THE OF THE COMMITTEE
OF THE YOU KNOW THE INVESTMENT
OF AND BLACKROCK HAS BEEN- HAS
DRAWN A LOT OF ATTENTION- IT WAS
A AN OPPORTUNISTIC INVESTMENT
RCL MADE AT THE END OF THE YEAR.
INDIAN NEEDED TO REBALANCE THE
OVERALL YOU KNOW A HUNDRED AND
SIXTY BILLION DOLLAR PORTFOLIO
THAT HE MANAGES FOR ALL THE
PENSION. HOLDERS AND FOR THE
ENDOWMENT OF THE UNIVERSITY AND
HE WAS UNDER WAY HE WAS
UNDERWEIGHT REAL ESTATE AND REAL
ESTATE- BY ANY MEASURE IS
ROUGHLY 25230% OF THE INVESTABLE
ASSETS THERE ARE IN THE WORLD
YOU CANNOT NOT BE INVESTED IN
REAL ESTATE. SO THE QUESTION IS
WHAT'S THE RIGHT VEHICLE TO BE
INVESTED IN. AND THIS WAS AN
OPPORTUNISTIC OF VEHICLE WHICH
AGAIN IS A 97% INVESTED OUTSIDE
OF CALIFORNIA- AND MOSTLY IN
TEXAS AND FLORIDA. AND AND- THE-
AND THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT.
TWO THIRDS OF THAT LAST 3% OR
ACTUALLY IT AND AFFORDABLE
HOUSING SO. UNFORTUNATELY THERE
IS YOU KNOW IN OF AND IT'S NOT A
PERFECT WORLD WE LIVE IN THERE'S
ALWAYS. YOU KNOW SOME PROJECTS
THAT ARE NOT DOING WHAT YOU
WOULD WANT THEM TO DO ONE ON
MANY MANY DIFFERENT
MEASUREMENTS. AND SO HE'S VERY
FOCUSED ON THAT HAS BEEN FOCUSED
ON. SINCE IT'S COME TO YOU KNOW
TO THE ATTENTION SINCE HE MADE
THE MADE THE TRANSACTION- HE HAS
TAKEN UPON HIMSELF PERSONALLY.
TO BE RESPONSIVE INTO TO HEAR OF
IT DIRECTLY FROM RESIDENTS OF
THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS- WHAT IS
GOING ON AT THOSE LOCATIONS. AND
DIRECTLY TAKING THOSE- OF
REPORTS TO THE MANAGEMENT
BLACKROCK. IN ORDER TO HAVE THEM
AMPLIFIED AND TO BE TO ADDRESS
SPECIFIC- BLACKSTONE RATHER TO
BE USED TO. ADDRESS SPECIFICALLY
BY THE SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND
THAT'S WHAT HE HAS COMMITTED TO
BE DOING ANY AND MY INTERESTING
AS HE HAS BEEN DOING IT. AND IT
HAS BEEN EFFECTIVE IN AND
SOLVING SOME OF THE SOLUTIONS IN
THE COMPLAINTS THAT ARE COMING.
FROM THAT PARTICULAR A COUPLE
PROPERTIES THAT ARE IN THE
PORTFOLIO. IN AND SOME FOR. YOU
MENTIONED WHAT IS IN THE PURVIEW
OF THE BOARD- CERTAINLY THE
STAFF CAN TAKE THOSE STEPS AND
WE KNOW STAFF COME AND GO BUT
WHAT IS THE- THE PURVIEW OF THE
BOARD YOU TALKED ABOUT THE
PROCESS BY WHICH YOU ALL CAN
HAVE SOME. OVERSIGHT OF THIS AND
I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SHARE
SOME OF THAT IN TERMS OF WORK
AND I THINK WE LEAD IDLE AND
WHEN WE LEAVE AT THE TOP YOU
KNOW PHILOSOPHICALLY RIGHT YOU
YOU DON'T SEE. TOBACCO YOU DON'T
SEE GUNS BEING PART OF THE UC
PORTFOLIO. YOU KNOW AND I MADE
THE POINT ON THE ON THE REAL
ESTATE YOU CAN'T REALLY ESCAPE
REAL ESTATE SO THE QUESTION YOU
CAN IS AS IN FOR MORE FULLY POPE
IT IS REGION'S IS YOU KNOW WE
WANTED YOU TO WORK WITH MANAGERS
THAT WE- RESPECT THAT. THAT HAVE
GOOD REPUTATIONS AND DO NOT HAVE
THE YOU KNOW THE TYPE OF- YOU
KNOW. OF TRACK RECORD THAT IS
YOU KNOW HIS CONTROVERSIAL AS
YOU START TALKING ABOUT LAWSUITS
AND THINGS LIKE THAT. I THINK
YOU KNOW THE WORLD BUSINESS
THERE'S ALWAYS CONFLICTS AND YOU
WANT TO BE. WORKING WITH THE-
THE FOLKS WHO YOU KNOW. NOT HAVE
CONFLICTS RIGHT IN AND CONDUCT
THEMSELVES WELL AND I THINK
THAT'S- YOU KNOW BEHOLD ALL OF
US ON THE ON THE BOARD. TO MAKE
SURE THAT IS THE INFLUENCE THAT
WE'RE BRINGING TO YOU KNOW OUR-
OUR CHAU IN HOW HE'S THINKING
ABOUT THE INVESTMENTS HE MAKES.
HE'S AN INCREDIBLY TALENTED
INDIVIDUAL I THINK HE'S MADE
SOME GREAT INVESTMENTS HE'S
DOING. A GREAT OF PERFORMANCE.
BY MANY MEASURES FOR THE FOR
BOTH OF OUR RETIREES AND FOR
ENTITLEMENT AND SO. I THINK
THAT'S THE- PRETTY MUCH THE
ATTITUDE THAT WE HAVE TO TAKE
WITH HIM AND HE'S BEEN VERY
RESPONSIVE. WELL I APPRECIATE
BEING ABLE TO HOLD THAT STAFF
ACCOUNTABLE AND TRACKING ON- NOT
JUST THE PERFORMANCE BECAUSE
THERE'S BEEN A 37% LOSS AND THAT
STOCK JUST THIS YEAR RIGHT BUT-
IT ALSO TRACKING ON- HOW THEY'RE
SHOWING UP IN THE COMMUNITIES IN
HEARING DIRECTLY FROM THOSE
COMMUNITIES AND THAT- THAT YOU
ALL WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK THAT
CLOSELY AND TO LOOK FOR THOSE
REPORTS. ON HOW- WELL A
BLACKSTONE IS RESPONDING. TO
THOSE THOSE RESIDENTS WE KNOW
THE MIGHT. BE MP. OTHER STATES
AND NOT NECESSARILY AS MANY
RESIDENTS SOME PROPERTIES HERE
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. A
BUT WHEREVER WE ARE INVESTING
OUR DOLLARS- PARTICULARLY. WHERE
THERE ARE SOME STATE INVESTMENT
INVOLVED WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE ARE NOT. CREATING MORE
SITUATION OF FAMILIES. BEING
DESTABILIZED MADE HOMELESS. A
WRONGFULLY EVICTED- BECAUSE OF
OUR INVESTMENT SO I REALLY
APPRECIATE- YOU LIFTING UP THE
OVERSIGHT IN IN THE
CONVERSATION- THAT. THAT YOU
SHARED WITH ME YESTERDAY- MY
LAST. QUESTION IS FOR- FOR MISS.
MARTHA SANTIAGO AND DR- BACHELOR
AND- WE TALKED A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THIS- THIS ROLE OF-
PROCUREMENT AND PARTICULARLY THE
OVERSIGHT- OF REGIONS IN THIS
SPACE IN IN THIS MONTH TO TALK
TO YOU YOU SHARED WITH ME ALSO
SOME WAYS IN WHICH THE
UNIVERSITY CAN DO A BETTER JOB
OF BRINGING COMMUNITY
ORGANIZATIONS AND WE TALKED
ABOUT- SMALLER NONPROFITS FOR
EXAMPLE WHO ARE IN THE ECOSYSTEM
OF THE UNIVERSITY WHERE- THESE
VERY SMALL NONPROFITS ARE BEING
ASKED TO. APPLY FOR SMALL
BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION LOANS IN
ORDER TO BE A PARTNER WITH THE
UNIVERSITY. OF PROCESS THAT IS
HIT MONTHS DELAYED AND ALSO- NOT
REALLY ADEQUATELY DESCRIBE BEING
THE EXPERTISE OF THOSE
BUSINESSES AND YOU TALKED ABOUT
WAYS THAT WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO
THINK ABOUT OPPORTUNITIES TO
BRING NONPROFITS MORE INTO
PARTNERSHIP INTO THE PARTNERSHIP
ECOSYSTEM FOR. FOR THE UC'S CAN
YOU SHARE A LITTLE BIT MORE
ABOUT YOUR THOUGHTS ON HOW WE
CAN STREAMLINE THESE
OPPORTUNITIES VERTICALLY FOR
NONPROFIT EITHER RESEARCH
TRAINING- PARTNERS TO BE A PART
OF THE UC ECOSYSTEM. HAPPY TO
CENTER THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION YESTERDAY AND HAD AN
OPPORTUNITY TO FOLLOW UP A
LITTLE BIT MORE ON SOME OF THE
NUMBERS AND IS A- IS COMMON
MENTIONED THIS IS AN AREA WHERE
THE UNIVERSITY HAS A HAS A GOAL.
OF ESTABLISHING ABOUT 25% OF
OUR- OF OUR CONTRACTING DOLLARS
GOING TO A SMALL BUSINESSES.
THERE'S A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT
DIFFERENCE ACROSS CAMPUSES IN
TERMS OF WHERE FOLKS ARE IN
RELATIONSHIP TO THE CURRENT GOAL
AND I THINK. WE STEP BACK PART
OF WHAT I THINK WHAT WE NEED TO
DO IS. WE SOMETIMES PUT IN PLACE
A LOT OF. A LOT OF RULES AND I
THINK ABOUT THIS MORE FROM BUT
SOME OF THE EXPERIENCE ON THE
STATE SIDE AND SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT THAT WE'VE- NEEDED
TO LOOK AT AND PART OF IT IS
LOOKING AT. RULES THAT ARE
ESTABLISHED OFTEN WITH GOOD-
WITH THE FOR GOOD REASONS BUT
THEY END UP HAVING A DISPARATE
IMPACTS ON DIFFERENT TYPES OF
PROVIDERS SO I THINK. YOU KNOW
IT'S KIND OF A- BORROWING SOME
OF MARK'S LANGUAGE FROM EARLIER
WERE IN I'M IN THE LET'S UNDER.
WHERE WE ARE. UNDERSTAND WHAT
ARE THE SOME OF THE STRUCTURAL
GAPS THAT WE HAVE. AND HOW DO WE
FIGURE OUT WHERE THE PLACES
WHERE SOME OF THE RULES THAT WE
HAVE TODAY ARE SYSTEMATICALLY
KEEPING SOME OF THE PARTNERS
THAT WE WANT TO BE WORKING WITH.
AND THAT OUR WORK WILL BE
ENRICHED BY HIM BY COMING IN AND
WE PROBABLY NEED TO LOOK AT.
ADAPTING OUR OVERALL RULES. SO
THAT THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE
HAVE IN PLACE FOR COMMUNITY
PARTNERS. THAT CAN REALLY HELP
US DO THE WORK MORE EFFECTIVELY.
ARE DIFFERENT THAN THE ONES THAT
ARE APPLYING TO MULTINATIONAL
CORPORATIONS THAT ARE TO
DIFFERENT POSITION TO BE ABLE TO
ASSUME A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF RISK
SO. INTERESTED IN IN WORKING SO
MORE WITH- IT WITH BOTH THE U.
C. O. P. AND GETTING SOME.
SPECIFIC EXAMPLES OF PLACES
WHERE OUR CAMPUSES ARE DOING A
GOOD JOB AND THEN BEING ABLE TO
LIFT THAT UP AND EXPAND THOSE
MODELS TO OTHER AREAS SO LOOK
FOR WORKING IN THIS AREA. I
APPRECIATE THAT AND DOCTOR
BACHELOR I THINK ALONG THOSE
LINES WE TALKED ABOUT STUDENT
ENROLLMENT AND PARTICULARLY. HOW
WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE NEEDLE
REALLY MOVED ON BLACK STUDENT
ENROLLMENT AND WE TALKED ABOUT.
THE SORT OF THIS. FOR LACK OF A
BETTER TERM SORT OF THE SUPPLY
CHAIN LIKE HOW DO WE ACTUALLY.
CREATE THESE PARTNERSHIPS
SOONER. AND I THINK IT SPEAKS TO
WHO OUR PARTNERS ARE AND HOW
WE'RE BUILDING THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS. CAN YOU CAN YOU
TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
YOUR THOUGHTS ON- HOW WE MORE
DEEPLY ENGAGE WITH THE- THE K.
THROUGH TWELVE. PARTNERSHIP AND
I'M I'M PARTICULARLY THINKING
ABOUT IT IN TERMS OF. MOVING THE
NEEDLE. ON BLACK STUDENT
ENROLLMENT- WE SEE AS OTHER
POPULATIONS ARE GROWING WE SEE
THEIR ENROLLMENT NUMBERS KEEPING
PACE BUT WE ARE NOT. SEEING THAT
IN IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY SO.
JUST WANTED TO HEAR YOU SHARE A
LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT
CHURCH SO. I WOULD FOCUS ON IN A
COUPLE OF DIFFERENT AREAS ONE IS
THE AREA THAT YOU ALREADY
MENTIONED. YOU KNOW THE K.
THROUGH TWELVE PIPELINE AND-
WORKING WITH LOCAL SCHOOLS TO
BOTH- IMPROVE HOW THEY ARE
EDUCATING THEIR STUDENTS. AND
PROVIDING THOSE SCHOOLS AND
STUDENTS WITH REESE. LIKE THE
ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS WE TALKED
ABOUT EARLIER- ANOTHER EXAMPLE
IS. A PROGRAM IN MY COMMUNITY
THAT'S A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE
LOCAL UNIVERSITY THERE LOYOLA
MARYMOUNT UNIVERSITY. AND THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT ARE IN THE
COMMUNITY WHERE THEY WORK
TOGETHER TO STRENGTHEN THE
EDUCATION OF STUDENTS WHO WERE
ATTENDING THOSE SCHOOLS. I THINK
THAT YOU SEE COULD PLAY ROLES
LIKE THAT BY PARTNERING WITH
LOCAL SCHOOLS BY PARTNERING. OUR
EDUCATION SPECIALIST WITH THEIR
TEACHERS AND- ACADEMIC PROGRAM
DEVELOPERS- SO I THINK THAT IS
A- ONE WAY THAT WE COULD REALLY
GET. ON INTO LOCAL COMMUNITIES
TO HELP STRENGTHEN THOSE SCHOOLS
I ALSO THINK THAT CLOSING
FUNDING GAPS FOR STUDENTS WHO
COME FROM. UNDERPRIVILEGED
BACKGROUNDS AND I BELIEVE THAT
THE UC IS ON THE RIGHT PATH AND
IN TERMS OF EXPANDING FINANCIAL
AID AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR
STUDENTS- AND THEN I THE LAST
THING I WOULD SAY IS THAT I ALSO
THINK WE SHOULD PAY ATTENTION
TO. THE SUPPORT THAT STUDENTS
HAVE ONCE THEY GET TO THE UC AND
THE CLIMATE ON CAMPUSES YOU KNOW
THAT STUDENTS FEEL THAT THEY ARE
WELCOMED ON CAMPUS AND THAT
THEIR SUPPORT FOR THEM BOTH-
CULTURALLY AND ACADEMICALLY ONCE
THEY ONCE THEY GET TO THOSE
CAMPUSES. BUT WAS IT THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR ANSWERING THE
QUESTIONS AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU ALL IN YOUR
CONFIRMATION TODAY. THANK YOU
SENATOR SENATOR A SHOW VOTE.
LOVE. MY EYES ARE BURNING SO I
APOLOGIZE IF I START TEARING UP
AND. IT WAS SUCH A PLEASURE TO
ME WITH A COUPLE OF YOU I DIDN'T
GET A CHANCE TO MEET ALL OF YOU-
I'M IN. THIS PAST WEEK BUT THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR TAKING ON THE
ROLE. AS UC REGENTS AND- JUST
BASED ON THE CONVERSATIONS THAT
I HAD I WAS VERY IMPRESSED AND
VERY EXCITED ABOUT- ALL THE
SERVING IN THIS CAPACITY. IT'S
QUITE THE TALENT AND ALL OF YOUR
LIFE EXPERIENCES COMING RINGING
THEM TO THE TABLE. SO A COUPLE
OF QUESTIONS- THE COMMENTS THAT
I HAD- HAVE TO DO THAT WITH ONE
- THE COST OF COLLEGE- IN IN
CALIFORNIA. I HAD THE PRIVILEGE
OF WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY- IN
WHICH AB MICRO. I'M SURE
FAMILIAR WITH INVESTED. HISTORY
CHANNEL SHOWS AT DIRTY JOBS I
BELIEVE IT'S CALLED. AND HE HAD
A DOCUMENTARY IN WHICH WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT HIGH PAYING JOBS.
AND THAT MANY OF THEM DON'T
REQUIRE. COLLEGE DEGREES BUT- DO
MORE SKILLS TRAINING AND THEY DO
VERY VERY WELL. I ALSO NOTE HERE
THAT. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH IS
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT STEM CAREERS
AND PATHWAYS HALF OF APPLE'S U.
S. WORKFORCE DON'T HAVE A FOUR
YEAR DEGREE. IN MARCH OF TWENTY
TWENTY THREE THE WALL STREET
JOURNAL POLL FOUND THAT 56%
AGREED THAT A COLLEGE DEGREE
WASN'T WORTH THE COST BECAUSE
PEOPLE OFTEN GRADUATE WITHOUT
SPECIFIC JOB SKILLS IN A LARGE
AMOUNT OF DEBT TO PAY OFF. THE
COST. OF COLLEGE TUITION HAS
SKYROCKETED TWO HUNDRED AND 13%
OVER THIRTY YEARS. AND I HAVE A
COUPLE OF OTHER DETAILS SUCH AS-
BACK IN NINETEEN EIGHTY SEVEN TO
EIGHTY EIGHT. AB THE SCHOOL YEAR
STUDENTS AT A PUBLIC FOR YEARS
IS TO JUST PAID AN AVERAGE OF
THIRTY ALMOST THIRTY TWO HUNDRED
DOLLARS. IN TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN THROUGH EIGHTEEN
FISCAL YEAR THIRTY YEARS LATER
THE AVERAGE HAS RISEN TO ALMOST
TEN THOUSAND. ON THERE. AND THIS
IS ADJUSTED TO TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN DOLLARS PER CNN CNBC
ARTICLE RIGHT AWAY. I'M SINCE
BEING IN THE LEGISLATURE I HAVE
HEARD AND WE'VE SEEN-
RESOLUTIONS AND BILLS BEING
PROPOSED TO- FORGIVE DEBT
STUDENT DEBT. SO WE HAD A COUPLE
OF CONVERSATIONS WITH REGARDS
TO- HAVING MORE INFORMED.
STUDENTS AS THE CHOOSE A CAREER
. I DO AGREE. A SCHOOL THAT
MEETS THOSE NAMES. AND A
REALIZATION OF WHAT THAT. DOES
IS GOING TO LOOK LIKE- AT THE
VERY END. SO I'M JUST FOR THE
RECORD I JUST WANT TO COMMENT IN
YOUR THOUGHTS ON IT AS AS
MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. I'VE SEEN
SOME UNIVERSITIES- HAVE THIS BUT
I'M NOT SURE IF WE DO THIS AS A
SYSTEM BUT- THE IMPORTANCE OF
YOUR THOUGHT NOW I'LL HEAR FROM
ANY OF YOU ITS ADDRESS IT
OPENLY. BUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
HAVING- THE COST OF GOING TO THE
SCHOOL THE UNIVERSITY HAVING
FULL DISCLOSURE OF WHAT THE
RESPONSIBILITIES ARE WHAT THE
COST WILL BE. AS WELL AS THE
DEGREES AND MAJORS THAT WE HAVE
THAT YOU HAVE AT THIS PARTICULAR
UNIVERSITIES. THE POTENTIAL
STARTING SALARIES AND RANGERS
FOR THOSE PARTICULAR MAJORS. AND
IN THE END THAT WAIT WHAT IS IT
GONNA LOOK LIKE AT THE END
BECAUSE ONE OF THE HARDEST
THINGS THAT I AND I AND WE KNOW
THIS AS ADULTS BECAUSE WE'RE
SEEING THOSE COMMENTARIES AND IN
LIGHT OF. THE AWARENESS THAT
PEOPLE ARE COMING IN ST IS IT
WORTH. SPENDING THIS MONEY. AT
THIS UNIVERSITY FOR THIS
PARTICULAR MAJOR. YOUR EARNING
POTENTIAL SPECIALLY BEGINNING.
WHAT ARE WE DOING SO THAT WE CAN
HAVE A BETTER INFORMED GRADUATES
FROM OUR UC SYSTEM AND THAT GOES
FOR ANY SYSTEM FOR THAT MATTER.
AND WHAT THEY'RE ABLE TO
PROVIDE. IN THE WORKFORCE- WOULD
LOVE TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS AND
WE CAN DO BETTER WHAT WE'RE
DOING NOW IT WHERE WE SHOULD GO
MOVING FORWARD KNOWING WHAT WE
KNOW IT ESPECIALLY THE CONCERNS
THAT WE HAVE WITH THE RECENT
GRADUATES. LET ME- LET ME
INTERJECT BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO
KNOW THE MISS MONOCYTOGENES IS
USED TO ASK ANSWERING QUESTIONS.
WITH LOTS OF COMPONENTS AND
PARTS AND THAT GIVES HI I PUT
YOU ON THE SPOT BUT I ALSO KNOW
THAT YOU RISE TO THE OCCASION
QUITE WELL- AND SEE IF YOU CAN
ENLIGHTEN US A LITTLE BIT ON
SOME OF THAT- HAPPY TO CENTER
ELEMENT THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION. I THINK IT AT THE
MOMENT WE HAVE A SOME
INFORMATION AVAILABLE- GENERALLY
WE DO NOT PROVIDE STUDENTS
DIRECT INFORMATION ON THIS
PIECE. I THINK IN SOME WAYS THIS
FALLS ON ON PARTISAN EARLIER
QUESTION IN TERMS OF. WHAT DO WE
DO WHEN STUDENTS ARE APPLYING
AND WHAT DO WE DO WHEN STUDENTS
ARE COMING TO BE ABLE TO TELL
HIM. HERE'S THE COST OF
ATTENDANCE. HERE'S THE FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE THAT IS AVAILABLE ON
THE OTHER ALL SUPPORT. SUPPORTS
TO BE ABLE TO COVER THOSE COSTS
INTO YOUR GOOD POINT OF AND
HERE'S WHAT YOUR FUTURE EARNING
POTENTIAL LOOKS LIKE. WE I THINK
WE'VE WE'VE LOOKED A LITTLE BIT
AT AT SOME OF THIS AND IT'S
AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS WHEN THEY
LOOK AT IT AND KIND OF OVERALL
SYSTEM SIMPLY BUT THERE'S NOT.
NECESSARILY A CONSISTENT SHARING
WITH OUR APPLICANTS IN WITH OUR
STUDENTS- SO THAT THEY CAN AS
THEY'RE THINKING ABOUT THESE
PIECES CAN INSURE THAT THEY HAVE
A FULL SENSE OF WHAT THEY'RE
TAKING ON WHEN THEY'RE COMING-
WHEN THEY'RE WHEN THEY'RE MAKING
THESE DECISIONS AND IT IS AN
AREA- PART OF THE BRAIN. DISK OF
FINANCIAL LITERACY AND WHAT WE
DO IN THE K. TWELVE SYSTEM AND
WHAT WE DO. IN THE- THE
UNIVERSITY AND- AND ELSEWHERE TO
BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEM. FROM
ONE STANDPOINT I THINK IN
CALIFORNIA WE ARE ALL AN OUT
LIAR IN A POSITIVE WAY IN THIS
PLACE BECAUSE OF THE COMMITMENTS
TO- TO- TO HAVING. LOWER TUITION
AND HAVING STABLE TUITION WERE
POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE ARE NOT LIAR
IN A POSITIVE WAY IN TERMS OF ON
GUARD CAL GRANT PROGRAMS. OR
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
IN. THE COMMITMENT THE
UNIVERSITY FOR RETURN TO EIGHT
SO WHEN WE LOOK AT THE DEBT FOR
OUR STUDENTS. WE WE ARE IN A
BETTER POSITION THAN OTHER
STATES. WE DO HAVE A HIGHER
AMOUNT OF DEBT. ACCOUNTABLE
SENSE OR A LOT OF OUR LOWER
INCOME STUDENTS END UP WITH A
HIGHER AMOUNT OF DEBT TO PAY FOR
LIVING EXPENSES. AND IN SOME OF
OUR MIDDLE CLASS STUDENTS WHO
ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO WHO
DON'T QUALIFY FOR. FINANCIAL
ASSISTANCE WHAT WHOSE FAMILIES
DON'T HAVE THE RESOURCES- DO
HAVE. A HIGHER BURDEN THAN WHEN
WE WHEN WE WENT BUT BUT
GENERALLY WE ARE. IN A BETTER
POSITION THAN SOME- THE SIMILAR
JURISDICTIONS BUT WE DEFINITELY
CAN DO BETTER OF BEING ABLE TO
PROVIDE. THAT INFORMATION A LOT
OF WHICH ALREADY EXISTS IN
FIGURING OUT HOW TO MAKE IT MORE
DIRECTLY AVAILABLE. TO STUDENTS
AND FAMILIES. BEFORE THEY COME
TO US AND WHEN THEY ARE WITH US
WHEN THEY'RE MAKING THESE
DECISIONS SO- THANKS FOR THE
QUESTION THAT SPURRED SOME
FOLLOW UP DISCUSSION ON OUR END
WITH YOU C. O. P. TEAM AMONGST
OURSELVES FOR. OFFER HOW DO WE
MAKE SURE THAT WE IMPROVE
PEOPLE'S ACCESS TO INFORMATION.
SO THEY CAN MAKE THE BEST
DECISIONS FOR THE FUTURE. CANNOT
OKAY MAN. YES MAY I ADD TO THAT
I THINK. AS A REGENT MADA SANTOS
MENTIONED ABOUT BEING
TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE FULL COST
OF EDUCATION IT'S NOT JUST A
TUITION BUT IT REALLY IS WHAT
DOES IT COST TO BUY BOOKS TO
ACTUALLY. PAY FOR HOUSING ALL OF
THOSE PIECES I REMEMBER IT BEING
A BIG SHOCK FOR ME THAT IS
ACTUALLY COST MORE SOMETIMES IN
THE TUITION ITSELF. AND SO I
THINK TRANSPARENCY BUT WITH THE
FULL COST OF EDUCATION AND
ATTENDING A COLLEGE WOULD BE. IN
ADDITION TO BEING ABLE TO BE
MORE PROACTIVE ABOUT SHARING
WHERE THE COMPENSATION LEVELS OF
DIFFERENT MAJORS ARE. AT A COULD
BE REALLY HELPFUL TO INFORM
PEOPLE ABOUT THE DECISIONS. THE
UC DOES GATHER THAT INFORMATION
EVEN BY CAMPUS AND BY DIFFERENT
MAJORS AND SO I THINK PART OF
OUR CHALLENGE NOW IS TO TRY TO
GET THAT INFORMATION BROADLY TO
THE STUDENTS AS THEY'RE MAKING
THESE DECISIONS BEFORE THEY- GET
TO OUR CAMPUS AS MUCH AS WE CAN.
AND I THINK IN ADDITION TO THOSE
TRANSPARENCY. MEASURES TO
PROVIDE INFORMATION. I THINK THE
UC NEEDS TO CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THINGS LIKE OUR DEBT FREE
PATHWAYS BUT NOT ONLY THAT BUT
ALSO FIGURE OUT WAYS TO REDUCE
THE TIME TO GETTING A DEGREE.
GREAT OKAY THAT MAKES A BIG
DIFFERENCE TO PEOPLE'S MAIL TO
START HAVING COMPENSATION AND
STARTING TO THE IN THE WORK
FORCE AND THINGS LIKE BEING ABLE
TO OFFER SUMMER PROGRAMS THAT
HELP PEOPLE CATCH UP WHEN THEY
FALL BEHIND. THOSE KINDS OF
RESOURCES CAN REALLY MAKE A
DIFFERENCE TO GETTING PEOPLE OUT
INTO THE WORK FORCE AND NOT
INCURRING MORE DEBT- THROUGH
EDUCATION SO I THINK THOSE ARE
SOME OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS TO
PAIR WITH TRANSPARENCY OF
INFORMATION. COMPLETELY AGREE
WITH ALL OF THAT YES I'LL- CLICK
ADD TO MY COLLEAGUES- WITH THE
BILL MANY PEOPLE SPEND A LOT OF
TIME ON THIS COLLEGE
PUBLICATIONS ABOUT WHAT IS THE
BEST COLLEGE IN AMERICA RIGHT.
AND THEY'VE NOW CHANGED THE
CRITERIA AND HOW THEY THINK
ABOUT THAT. AND SOME OF THE MOST
RECENT ONE WAS DONE BY FORBES
MAGAZINE. AND RANKED ALL OF THEM
BY RETURN ON INVESTMENT IS
BASICALLY THE COST. AND YOU WILL
SEE THE UC'S. HAVE AN OUTSIZED
THREE OR FOUR OF THE TOP TEN
SCHOOLS. BEST SCHOOLS BEST
COLLEGES IN AMERICA NOW YOU SEE
SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF THIS RATIO
BETWEEN INVESTMENT. IN THE
EDUCATION WITH THE GET ON THE
BACK END AND SO AGAIN. THAT'S
WHAT THE BEAUTY OF THE UC SYSTEM
IS. I THINK THE OTHER POINT I'D
LOVE TO MAKE IS. THAT WE
PROBABLY AS A SYSTEM AND AS A
CAMPUS IN INDIVIDUAL CAMPS DON'T
DO ENOUGH ON- THE EMPLOYEE THE-
CAREER CENTERS. THAT I THINK IN
THE CAN AND AS WE'VE- YOU KNOW
FOCUSED ON THE CORE MISSION OF.
TEACHING AND ALL THE OTHER THE
COSTS. THAT'S PROBABLY BEEN IN A
COLLECTED PART OF OUR CAMPUSES
BECAUSE OF JUST YOU KNOW
CONSTRAINED BUDGETS. AND THAT
COULD BE ONE OF THEM THE MOST
ATTRACTIVE THE MOST IMPORTANT
PLACES WE CAN ACTUALLY IMPROVE
UPON. IN PROBABLY INVEST IN
BECAUSE AGAIN THAT FIRST YEAR.
OUT OF COLLEGE ON MTV BASE'S ONE
WAS CRITICAL YEARS AND AGAIN IN
A COLLEGE STUDENT'S LIFE RIGHT
AND SO THAT WOULD BE AN AREA OF
I THINK. A FOCUS OF WAYS WE CAN
IMPROVE THINGS. GLAD FOR
POINTING THAT OUT BECAUSE
ACTUALLY THAT MAKES ME VERY VERY
EXCITED ONE OF THE THINGS THAT
I'VE ALSO. BEEN PRIVY TO IS THE
FACT THAT WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
OUR OUR COLLEGES ARE SYSTEMS.
YOU KNOW OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES
WERE R. C. ISSUES VERY UC'S.
CORRECT IF I'M WRONG. IT'S MY
IMPRESSION. THEY'RE NOT.
DIRECTLY WORKING WITH. OUR STATE
LEGISLATURE FOR INSTANCE HAD YOU
KNOW. CONNECTED DIRECTLY IN
DIFFERENT. CAPACITIES SO THAT'S
ANOTHER AREA THAT I THINK- MY
COLLEAGUES HERE- SMALLWOOD
CUEVAS. WOULD PROBABLY AGREE
WITH ME THAT. A BETTER
RELATIONSHIP. WITH OUR OUR
SISTERS OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS.
WOULD REALLY REALLY. BENEFIT- WE
HAVE IF MY I UNDERSTAND THAT WE
HAVE. OPEN THAT HAVE. YOU DON'T
HAVE. PEOPLE APPLYING FOR- IN SO
THERE'S A LOT OF YEAH I JUST SEE
IT ON THE MARKET AREA WHETHER
IT'S PRIVATE OR PUBLIC. A LOT OF
OPENINGS. WE HAVE A LOT OF
GRADUATES. WE HAVE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WITH CONCERNED THAT. AND
SO I'M THINKING IF WHERE WE
MISSING THE BOAT IS FIRST
CONNECTING- OUR STUDENTS ARE
GRADUATES. WITH THE WORKFORCE SO
I'M ACTUALLY VERY EXCITED THAT
YOU MENTIONED NOT THAT THAT'S
SOMETHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEE. HOW YOU
FOLKS. WORK WITHIN THAT SPACE-
THE OTHER COMMENTS I THINK MY
CALL HE'S ACTUALLY TOUCHED UP ON
ME SEE THERE'S ANYTHING ELSE. ON
HERE THAT. BUT WAS NOT TOUCHED
UPON.
I THINK ONE LAST COMMENT IF I
MAY JUST WANT TO SEE- AS YOU
KNOW I REPRESENT THE INLAND
EMPIRE- YEAH BUT THIS IS NOT
UNIQUE TO MARY TO CROSS THE
STATE- I AM VERY INTRIGUED AND
WILLING TO WORK WITH- ARE YOU
SEE SYSTEM SPECIAL WHEN IT COMES
TO MEDICAL CENTERS AND HEALTH
CARE. IN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW DO WE COMBINE MORE
PARTNERSHIPS TO HAVE- OUR
MEDICAL STUDENTS STAY WITHIN THE
STATE CALIFORNIA THE INLAND
EMPIRE IN ATTRACTING THEM IN THE
WILL TO COMPENSATE OUR STUDENTS-
SO THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY BE
INCENTIVIZED TO STAY IN THE
AREA. SO I AM. I THINK ALONG
WITH SENATOR ROSS I WOULD LOVE
TO WORK IN HERE YOUR IDEAS ON
HOW WE CAN PARTNER- WITH THE
LEGISLATURE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC-
PARTNERSHIPS TO BE ABLE TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE HAVE THE HEALTH
CARE TRAINING AND WORKFORCE- IN
BECAUSE I KNOW. WE ALL
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ISN'T THE CASE
AND SAID CALIFORNIA MORE SO IN
MY AREA- IN THE INLAND EMPIRE
AND I'M PRETTY SURE THE LA
PROBABLY HAS THE SAME- SITUATION
THAT WE DO- WITH WORK FIRST BUT
ALSO IN EDUCATION AND WORKING A
LOT OF. SPORTS FANTASY THINKING
MADAM CHAIR. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
OF A BENEFIT TO GOING LAST THERE
IS ONE- YOU KNOW I AM VERY
PLEASED ABOUT YOUR DESIRE AND
WILLINGNESS TO SERVE- ESPECIALLY
GIVEN YOUR RESUME SURELY WORK
EXPERIENCE AND OF COURSE YOUR
STORIES. ARE REALLY THRILLED AS
SOMEONE WHO REPRESENTS AN AREA
WITH THE UC AND A HOSPITAL- OF
YOUR EXPERTISE CENTER WE'VE HAD
CONVERSATIONS BEFORE I'VE HEARD.
SOME OF THE CHALLENGES THAT YOU
FACE A CEO THE FINANCE
BACKGROUND COLLECTIVELY IN
OVERTIME THAT IS THAT EACH OF
YOU HAVE. IS REALLY IMPORTANT-
AND I JUST THINK WE ARE GOING TO
BE WELL SERVED TO THAT IN THE
ONE QUESTION I WOULD HAVE- IN
TERMS OF- YOU KNOW THAT THE
COMPACT THE ANNUAL CONTACT
RELATED TO THE PERCENTAGE- IN
THE BUDGET THAT THE UC SYSTEM
GETS- OBVIOUSLY- THAT IN LINE
WITH. THE POLICY THE UC POLICY
ON TUITION INCREASES. WHAT HAVE
YOU SEEN AN IMPACT YET AND WHAT
ARE YOU THINKING- GOING FORWARD-
YOU KNOW IN TERMS OF ADDITIONAL
BUDGET NEEDS I MEAN FROM YOUR
END THERE'S THE STATE
CONTRIBUTION OBVIOUSLY. THERE'S
A CONTRIBUTION THROUGH UP HELD
GREAT WELL NOT THE PELL GRANT
THAT'S FEDERAL BUT- YOU CAL
GRANT THE ECCENTRIC CETERA. I'M
JUST INTERESTED IN YOUR
PRELIMINARY THOUGHTS OF HOW YOU
PULL THAT TOGETHER AND WHAT
YOU'RE THINKING IN TERMS OF LONG
TERM FOR ECONOMIC. YOU KNOW HOW
HOW DOES YOU SEE RAISE MONEY-
MYSTERONS ANYONE START. ANY
THOUGHTS YEAH I MEAN ALSO START
WITH. UNMET NEED HAS BEEN- THE
CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE OF THE OF
THE CAMPUSES RIGHT WE HAVE-
COUPLE OF THE CAMPUSES ARE ON
MAJOR SEISMIC FAULTS- THEY HAVE
A NUMBER OF BUILDINGS THAT ARE
THAT ARE AT RISK- IN IN THE AREA
IF WE HAVE A CATASTROPHIC
EARTHQUAKE. AND WE HAVEN'T BEEN
ABLE TO YOU KNOW REPLACE AND
BUILD- AND ADEQUATELY TO REPLACE
THOSE BUILDINGS- AND SO WERE
WERE VULNERABLE THEIR RIGHT AND
SO THAT COMBINED WITH THE
DEFERRED MAINTENANCE BUDGET. AT
ALL THE CAMPUSES HAS BEEN A
SOURCE OF CAPITAL FOR ALL
CAMPUSES TO BALANCE THEIR
BUDGETS OVER THE LAST YOU KNOW
TEN OR FIFTEEN YEARS AND SO CAN
THE CAMPUSES SYSTEM WIDE OR
SUFFERING FROM. A POSITIVE
SUPPORT AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT
FOR THOSE TO THOSE ROLE YOU KNOW
KIND OF ONE TIME NEEDS AND
CONTINUE TO BE BIG NEEDS. TO
KEEP THE YOU KNOW THE HEALTH AND
VIBRANCY OF THE OF THE
INDIVIDUAL CAMPUSES GOING SO I
FOCUS A LOT ON ON THOSE ON
THOSE- CAPITAL NEEDS IS FREE AS
WE THINK ABOUT OUR OUR YOU KNOW
LONG RANGE PLAN. BUT ALL THE
HOLES TURN IT OVER TO MY
COLLEAGUES. TWO THINGS IF I MAY-
SORT OF THE FIRST PIECES THANK
YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT BECAUSE I
THINK THAT. THE THERE ARE A
COUPLE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT ONE
IS THE INCREASE- IS A
SIGNIFICANT AND WE UNDERSTAND
HOW HARD IT IS TO FUNDED IN
LIGHT OF ALL OF THE OTHER
PRIORITIES. THAT YOU HAVE WITH
THE BALANCE OF THE BUDGET SO WE
APPRECIATE AND WE APPRECIATE
THAT THE LEVEL OF INCREASES
GREATER THAN WHAT REVENUE GROWTH
IS- SOMETIMES AND WE KNOW THAT
THAT MEANS LESS RESOURCES IN
OTHER AREAS. A REALLY IMPORTANT
ELEMENT OF THE COMPACT IS JUST
THE ABILITY TO PLAN. SO KNOWING
IF THE SUPPORT IS THERE I THINK-
PRESIDENT DRAKE HAS TALKED
ABOUT. HOW HE SEES. HOW IT ALL
THE HAVING THE SUPPORT OF HAVING
THIS LONGER TERM COMMITMENT- IN
HAVING THE COMMITMENTS THAT GO
ALONG WITH THAT IN TERMS OF THE
OUTCOMES OF THE UNIVERSITY
SAYING WE ARE GOING TO ACHIEVE
AND WHAT EXPECTATIONS WERE GOING
TO DELIVER FOR THE PEOPLE. IF
THIS FUNDING IS PROVIDED. IT
HELPS THE CHANCELLOR FOCUS.
LONGER TERM ON ISSUE WHO'S LIKE.
YOU DON'T. WITH- KATE TO. OR
LIKE WE WE'RE DOING ON HOW TO.
OR LIKE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
ROLE OF DIVERSIFYING OUR FACULTY
FOR IMPROVING OUR OUTCOMES AND
IMPROVING OUR TIME TO GREET. AND
APPROVING THE EXTENT TO WHICH WE
RETAIN OUR STUDENTS SO. SO
OUTSIDE OF THE INCREASE THE
KNOWING. AND WHAT IN AND THE
COMMITMENTS ON THE FOCUS ON WHAT
ARE WE HERE TO DO AND WHAT WE
HAVE TO COMMIT TO. IS REALLY
HELPFUL FROM A MANAGEMENT
STANDPOINT FROM AN OPERATIONAL
STANDPOINT KEEPING US FOCUSING
KEEPING US ACCOUNTABLE- IN TERMS
OF OTHER RESOURCES. I THINK I TO
LEAVE IN A REGION PART BECAUSE
BUT A LOT OF TIME- WITH.
UNIVERSITY LEADERSHIP ON
QUESTIONS OF. INNOVATIONS AND
WHAT YOU KNOW AND CAN WE DO A
BETTER JOB WHICH WE KNOW WE CAN.
ON CAPTURING REVENUE FROM
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY- WE CAN
ALSO DO A BETTER JOB OF SEATING
MORE OF THIS WORK SO THAT. THE
UNIVERSITY IS BOTH CAPITALIZING
ON OUR RESEARCH FROM AN
INVENTION STANDPOINT AND IN TURN
THE- A PORTION OF THOSE RETURNS
ARE COMING BACK UP. TO THE
CAMPUS AND WE KNOW THAT.
RELATIVELY MODEST INVESTMENTS.
IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY WORK-
THAT HELP US TO BE ABLE TO
ENSURE THAT WE FILED PATENTS
THAT HAVE YOU SEE GET THE
BENEFIT FOR YOU SEE RESEARCH IS
SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP US-
THERE ARE THERE A LOT OF WORK
AND THE KID THAT IS GOING ON A
DIFFERENT CAMPUSES AROUND HOW DO
WE- RAISE ALL THE REVENUES AND
I'M- LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING
WITH MY REGION COLLEAGUES AT.
ANSWERING THE- THE REQUESTED
FEATURE LEAD TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE- THAT WE HAVE A COMMITTEE
THAT IS FOCUSED ON. IT WE
SOMETIMES ARE REALLY GOOD AT
IDENTIFYING THE MONEY THAT HAS
OUR NAME ON IT. BUT NOT
NECESSARILY LOOKING AT THE OTHER
OPPORTUNITIES FOR. YOU KNOW
WHERE CAN WE WORK WITH COUNTIES
WORKING WE WORK WITH- WITH- WE
WE'RE GOOD AT IT AND IT AND
IDENTIFYING THE RESEARCH DOLLARS
AND THINGS THAT ARE NATURAL FOR
HOURS BUT- SOME OF THE WORK THAT
WE SEEN SEEN DIEGO. AROUND HOW
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE WORKING
WITH REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION ON
SECURING THE RESOURCES ON. THE
INVESTMENTS THAT ARE HELPFUL TO
THE CAMPUS OR HELP OVER THE
COMMUNITY SO LOOKING SOME OF THE
OTHER AYE. THAT ARE NOT DIRECT
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DIRECT
TIRE EDUCATION FUNDING BUT HELP
US BE ABLE TO. BETTER SUPPORT
OUR SERVICES IS ANOTHER AREA
THAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN LOOKING
OUT SO I THINK IT'S A- IF. IF
THE COMPACT IS TO BE FUNDED AND
SUPPORTED AND INCLUDED IN THE
FINAL BUDGET. IT'S IT'S AN
INVESTMENT THAT WE WELCOME
APPRECIATE AND THAT WE'VE
COMMITTED TO. TO GETTING THE
OUTCOMES DONE. AND YES 5% IN TWO
DAYS- INVASION IN TWO DAYS-
ENVIRONMENT OF INFLATION AND-
AND HIGHER DEMANDS AND AS A- AS
MARCUS MENTIONED WHERE SOME OF
OUR COMPENSATION IN SOME AREAS
IS LAGGING WITH COMPETITORS.
WILL REQUIRE THAT WE DO THE HARD
WORK OF IDENTIFYING SAVINGS TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE LIVE WITHIN
AVAILABLE RESOURCES. BUT BEING
ABLE TO KNOW WHAT OUR FUTURE
LOOKS LIKE ALLOWS EVERYBODY TO
FOCUS ON. HOW WE GOING MANAGE
OVERTIME AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO
DELIVER THE OUTCOMES THAT ARE
EITHER TOTALLY. REASONABLE
APPROPRIATE AND ON US TO DELIVER
THAT YOU WOULD EXPECT WITH THIS
LEVEL OF INVESTMENT. THANK YOU
FOR THAT. ANYTHING FURTHER THIS.
I KNOW I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU CAN.
THAT'S WHY I WENT FIRST. A VERY
WIDE. OF THE I WANT TO JUST
UNDERSCORED THE FACILITIES
RENEWAL QUESTION I THINK THAT'S
A HUGE ANNETTE MET NEED FOR US-
AND I THINK THAT WE DO NEED TO
BE FOCUSING ON WHAT THOSE LONG
TERM. FACILITY NEEDS ARE TO MEET
BOTH AND ROMAN AND EDUCATION.
ANNA MENTIONED ABOUT PATENTS AND
INNOVATION AND I THINK ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT WE'VE HEARD AT
LEAST IN OUR- FIRST EIGHT MONTHS
ON OUR LISTENING TOURS WITH
DIFFERENT CAMPUSES ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF ALSO INVESTING IN.
RESEARCH FACILITIES WHICH ALSO
HELPS US TO BE ABLE TO COMPETE
FOR FEDERAL GRANTS AND OTHER
TYPES OF RESOURCES TO HELP
AUGMENT OUR MISSION. I THINK WE
NEED TO BE TAKING A LOOK AT THE
THINGS THAT WE CAN- FUND THREE
DIFFERENT WAYS. I THINK THE
OTHER P. SAID. ALSO CAME FORWARD
IN ADDITION TO- THE RESEARCH
COMPONENT IS ALSO TAKING A LOOK
AT WHAT WE'RE LEAVING ON THE
TABLE MAKING SURE WE LEAVE
NOTHING ON THE TABLE. I THINK
THIS COMES IN EVERY SINGLE PLACE
WHETHER IT'S THE EMERGENCY
FUNDING THAT CAME FROM THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OVER COVE IT
BUT ALSO RELATES TO
REIMBURSEMENTS. FOR HOSPITALS AS
WELL WE WERE THINKING ABOUT HOW
DO WE MAKE THINGS HOLE HOW DO WE
MAKE THINGS WORK WITH OUR-
RESEARCH. MISSION BUT ALSO THE
PROVISION OF HEALTHCARE IN MANY
PARTS OF OUR STATE. SO I THINK
THE IN ADDITION TO THE STABILITY
THAT ANNA MENTION WHICH IS
REALLY HELPFUL AND WE'RE REALLY
THANKFUL FOR. AND IT'S ALSO
MAKING SURE THAT WE CONTINUE TO
INVEST IN THE FACILITIES THAT
HELP US TO DRIVE ADDITIONAL
REVENUES. BUT NOT ONLY THAT
MAKING SURE WE DON'T LEAVE
ANYTHING ON THE TABLE FROM A
FEDERAL REIMBURSEMENT
PERSPECTIVE. THANK YOU. WELL I
THINK MY COLLEAGUES HAVE COVERED
THIS REALLY WELL- THE TO FIT TO
THE TWO NOTES THAT I THAT I
WROTE DOWN IN RESPONSE TO THE
QUESTION WERE. ON WHETHER WE'VE
OPTIMIZED FEDERAL DOLLARS
BECAUSE I KNOW IN HEALTH CARE.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS A
HUGE. SUPPORTER OF. HEALTH CARE
AND WE REALLY COULDN'T- CARRY
OUT OUR MISSION WITHOUT THAT
FEDERAL SUPPORT. AND JUST THE
FACT THAT I THINK THE CONTACT
PROVIDES A REALLY. HELPFUL
FRAMEWORK FOR COLLABORATION AND
SHARING PRIORITIES. BETWEEN THE
LEGISLATURE THE ADMINISTRATION
AND- THE UNIVERSITY. AND
APPRECIATING THAT. THANK YOU- I
HAD I WOULD SAY- IT IS THESE ARE
IMPORTANT CONVERSATIONS YOU SEE
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE
BRIEFLY AS A REGION WHEN I WAS
THE SPEAKER- AND TO SERVE. ON
THE BOARD OF THE TRUSTEES FOR-
CSU. AND I HAVE TO SAY- THE
COLLECTIVE- ABILITIES HERE AND I
KNOW THAT THE BOARD. ALSO HAS A
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH SUCH
EXPERTISE WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE
THE ROLE THAT YOU SEE PLAYS IN
CALIFORNIA. IS ONE OF AN
ECONOMIC ENGINE FOR MANY
COMMUNITIES THAT'S TRUE FOR US
IN SAN DIEGO- YOU HAVE THE
FLEXIBILITY AND THE ABILITY TO
BE MORE INNOVATIVE. BECAUSE OF
YOUR STRUCTURE AND YOUR MISSION-
AND I THINK THAT'S CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
HEALTHCARE- I'M HAPPY TO SEE. US
SOMEONE WITH DOCTOR BACHELOR'S
EXPERIENCE IN ADDITION TO SOME
OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE ON THE
BOARD- THAT ARE A REGION'S THE
BOARD OF REGENTS- SO I I'M
REALLY HEARTENED BY THIS. I WILL
THANK YOU TO FOLLOW UP- FROM MY
COLLEAGUE FROM CENTRAL VALLEY
ARE VICE CHAIR. YOU KNOW I WANT
TO THANK YOU FOR BEING FLEXIBLE
AND OPEN TO THE POSSIBILITIES
FOR UCSD WHEN WE FACED THE FACT
THAT SOMEONE TRIED TO. THREE
PICK ONE OF THE BEST AND
BRIGHTEST- THAT WE HAVE- THE
ECONOMIC ENGINE THAT UCSD IS FOR
SAN DIEGO I CANNOT OVERSTATE.
LIFE SCIENCES- IT JUST IN SO
MANY WAYS AND WHAT THAT
CHANCELLOR IS DONE TO ATTRACT
DOLLARS TO BE ABLE TO EXPAND AND
DO THAT WORK NOT JUST FOR UCSD
BUT FOR CALIFORNIA. AND THAT YOU
WOULD BE THAT OPEN AND WILLING
TO GIVE- THE COMMUNITY THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE AN
ENDOWMENT AND I WOULD SAY. THAT
THESE ARE ALL SAN DIEGANS BUT
THE THING IS THAT'S TAKEN MONEY
THAT WOULD HAVE GONE ELSEWHERE
IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY TO DEAL WITH
A MYRIAD OF ISSUES THAT WE DEAL
WITH THEIR- SO. I APPRECIATE
YOUR WILLINGNESS OBVIOUSLY THERE
IS AN ISSUE IN TERMS OF HOW. YOU
KNOW AS A PUBLIC. INSTITUTION
HOW WE LOOK AT COMPENSATION AND
ARE NOT ABLE TO COMPETE WITH
PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES AND OTHERS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHERE THERE'S
ONLY ONE AND THEY FOCUS
EVERYTHING. ON THAT ONE-
CHANCELLOR WE HAVE A NUMBER. OF
INSTITUTIONS IN ADDITION TO THE
HOSPITALS- AND THE LABORATORIES
SO- I JUST. HOPE YOU'LL EAT YOU
HEARD THE WORDS OF MY COLLEAGUE
I COULDN'T AGREE MORE THAT
EQUITY AND FAIRNESS ME FIGURED
OUT A WAY DECADES AGO TO DO THAT
UCSF. UC DAVIS HAS HAD TO IT'S
NOT A MODEL THAT WE SHOULD HOPE
TO ALWAYS HAVE TO USE BUT- THE
FACT THAT YOU ALLOWED THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO DO THAT
SAN DIEGO WE APPRECIATE. BECAUSE
PUBLIC DOLLARS SHOULD BE SHOULD
BE USED WISELY AND UNDERSTAND
THAT WHEN YOU START LOOKING AT
SALARIES THAT HIGH WITH PUBLIC
DOLLARS IT BECOMES A REAL. REAL
DISCUSSION COMMUNITY BY
COMMUNITY SO I WANT TO THANK
YOU. FOR THAT I WANNA- BEFORE WE
GO TO THE PUBLIC BECAUSE THIS
HAS BEEN AN IMPORTANT DIALOGUE
