BEEN ASKED TO DEDICATE FUNDS TO
BUILD AND REPAIR HIGHER
EDUCATION CLASSROOMS RESEARCH
LABS.
AND LIBRARIES ACROSS OUR STATE.
AND NO HIGHER EDUCATION SPECIFIC
BOND HAS PASSED SINCE.
NINETEEN NINETY TWO ALL THE BOND
DOLLARS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE LAST
RECEIVED IN TWO THOUSAND SIX
HAVE DRIED UP.
PROJECTS ARE BEING SIDELINED AS
THE CSU AND YOU SEE ARE
SCRAMBLING TO MAINTAIN OLD
BUILDINGS.
AND FACILITIES. TO ADDRESS TO
ADDRESS SHORTAGES AND KEEP PACE
WITH TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCES BOTH
SYSTEMS WILL SOON NEED MORE
CLASSROOMS LABS AND OTHER
FACILITIES TO MEET.
STUDENT NEEDS.
THE BOND MONEY IN THE BILL COULD
ALSO BE USED FOR CONSTRUCTION
RECONSTRUCTION EARTHQUAKE.
RETROFITTING AND REMODELING OF
EXISTING OR NEW FACILITIES.
ACCORDING TO BOTH SYSTEMS I KNOW
WE'LL HEAR FROM THEM IN JUST A
MOMENT THEY HAVE COMBINED
CAPITAL NEEDS OF SIXTEEN BILLION
DOLLARS. FOR SHORT AND LONG TERM
PROJECTS.
WE ALL KNOW HOW VITAL OUR HIGHER
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS ARE TO
OUR ECONOMY AND WE ALSO KNOW
THAT STUDENTS NEED TO BE
EQUIPPED WITH THE CLASSROOMS
LIBRARIES SLAPS THAT WILL
PREPARE THEM.
FOR FUTURE CONTRIBUTIONS TO OUR
STATE.
THIS BILL WILL GIVE VOTERS THE
CHANCE TO CONTINUE THE PROUD
LEGACY OF MAINTAINING AND
IMPROVING OUR UNIVERSITIES AND
COLLEGES.
WITHOUT A RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE.
I HAVE WITNESSES HERE ON BEHALF

THANK YOU VERY MUCH WITH CARE
AND FIGURED ISSUE A STANDARD I
WAS -- BUT NOT FOR THE SPONSORS
AND OR YOURSELVES THE THE
CONVERSATION WITH RESPECT TO THE
THE SPLIT EVENLY OF THE
RESOURCES.
AND YET THAT OF THE CAMPUSES IN
THE NIGHT OF STUDENTS THAT THIS
ISSUES POTENTIALLY HAD WAS THERE
ANY CONVERSATION I THOUGHT
BEHIND THAT.
OF THE EVEN DISTRIBUTION OFTHAT
OF THE FIFTY FIFTY SPECIFICALLY.
THROUGH THEIR PLEASE AND THANK
YOU CENTER THANK YOU SALLY
MEMBER LOVE FOR THE QUESTION.
YOU KNOW THIS IS A COMMON
QUESTION ASKED THAT WHEN THESE
KINDS OF THINGS ARE PUT FORWARD
AND I THINK THAT.
MY FEELING HAS BEEN THAT THEY
BOTH HAVE SIGNIFICANT NEEDS THAT
WON'T EVEN BE MATCHED BY IT BY
THIS MEASURE -- AND THAT -- I IN
THE SPIRIT OF THE GREAT
COALITION THE THAT'S BEEN PUT
TOGETHER BEHIND THIS I THINK THE
EVE EVEN SPLIT IS I THINK
SOMETHING THAT BOTH SYSTEMS ARE
COMFORTABLE WITH.
AND I CERTAINLY AM AND THAT'S
WHY IT'S PRESENTED THE WAY IT IS
TODAY.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU CHAIR.
AS A FORMER RON.
UNIVERSITY FACULTY MEMBER HI --
HIGHLY -- AM INTERESTED IN --
SUPPORTING ANY MEASURE SO BUT
THE I HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS
REGARDING -- THIS MEASURE EIGHT
BILLION DOLLARS TO IT YOU'LL
BOND THIS IS.
A HUGE AMOUNT OF OUR ADDITIONAL
TAX BURDEN.
WE NEED TO CREATE THE A RELATED
TO THAT I WONDER.
OF FIRST OF FOR THROUGH THE OUR
ORIGINALLY ESTABLISHMENT.
OF THE BUILDING WHEN THEY ARE
BUILT -- TO WHAT THEY JUST A
BILL THAN THE NORM MAINTENANCE
COSTS SO.
MANAGERS ABILITY IN IN THE CHEN
ARE BUDGET THAT THE UC'S WAS CSU
RECEIVER.
WITH THE UNIT TO A SET ASIDE --
BUILDING -- MAINTENANCE COSTA
SEPARATELY SL ONE QUESTION.
NUMBER TWO IS -- HOW LONG?
WITH THE SEC EIGHT BILLION
DOLLARS AT THAT TO RECREATE THAT
THAT WILL.
MAINTAIN IS A CARIBBEAN NEXT A
FIFTY YEARS OR IN PERPETUITY OR
JUST A TEN YEARS [inaudible]
O'DONNELL [inaudible]
AND AND THE QUESTION IS THAT --
CALIFORNIA HAS SOME.
EXTRA ORDINARY MONO OF SURPLUS
RIGHT NOW I CAN'T EXACTLY
REMEMBER TO MY MEMORY ELECT THE
TWENTY ONE P. AND DAUGHTERS --
WHY CAN WE SEE YOU -- SELL US
SOME OF THAT THE MONEY ONE TIME
MONEY THAT WITHOUT COSTING ANY
ADDITIONAL TAX BURDEN OF BURDEN
ON THE CITIZENS -- THOSE ARE THE
DUTCH GENERAL QUESTIONS SO I
COME TO REALIZE SO -- BEFORE A
WEEK COSTA DISCOUNT ABOUT TEN
ARCHITECT.
OKAY WELL LET ME TRY TO GIVE IT
A SHOT AND MY COLLEAGUES HERE
MAY.
WANT TO ENHANCE MY ANSWERS.
I THINK PART OF THE REASON WE
HAD THE VINES IS IT SIGNIFICANT
TODAY IS BECAUSE THAT WE FALL
OUT IT TO DETERIORATE WITHOUT
REALLY RESPONSE OVER MANY MANY
DECADES.
AND SO THEY'RE THERE FOR THE
THINGS GET OLDER AND WE HAVE TO
FIND SOME WAY TO CATCH UP AND
THAT'S WHY I THINK THE THE BONDS
PROPOSED AS IT IS SET BEFORE YOU --
THERE THERE IS MAKING HIS MONEY
THAT IS PROVIDED TO MAINTAIN
THESE FACILITIES OVER THE YEARS
BUT THAT'S BEEN SUBJECT TO THE
BUDGET PROCESS THAT WE ALL
PARTICIPATE.
SO FOR EXAMPLE THE BUDGET THAT
WE WILL BE POTENTIALLY VOTING ON
THIS WEEK.
DOES PROVIDE AFFABLE SYSTEMS
SIGNIFICANT MAINTENANCE MONEY TO
TRY TO KEEP THOSE FACILITIES
RUNNING.
AND USABLE.
AND THAT OF COURSE IS SUBJECT
EVERY YEAR TO THE BUDGET PROCESS.
THIS ATTEMPT TO DEAL WITH MORE
THE THE CAPITAL NEEDS THAT ARE
OUT THERE -- HAS THE LABS AND
CLASSROOMS OF DETERIORATED SAID
THEY'RE NOT USABLE -- AND IN
MANY WAYS.
THIS IS ABOUT PAYING IT FORWARD
JUST LIKE OUR PARENTS PAID IT
FORWARD FOR THE FACILITIES THAT
WE WERE ABLE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF OVER.
MANY YEARS -- IN THE PAST.
AND SO IT HAS A LIFE A LIFE
FLOOD OF FOR THESE NEW
FACILITIES OR THE THE
RECONSTRUCTION IS THE XISTING
FACILITIES OF ANOTHER OF DECADES
INTO THE FUTURE.
SO THE THE BONDS WILL BE PAID
OFF -- OVER THIRTY FORTY YEARS
THE FACILITIES THAT WILL BE
PROVIDED IN THIS MEASURE WILL BE
THERE FOR THIRTY OR FORTY YEARS.
AND SO IT IS TRYING TO CATCH UP
WITH.
THE FACT THAT WE HAVEN'T
MAINTAIN THOSE FACILITIES AS AS
WE WOULD LIKE.
TO AND THE CHANGING REQUIREMENTS
OF OUR OUR ECONOMY AND OUR
EDUCATION WORLD TODAY.
THAT WE CAN PAY IT FORWARD --
FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF
STUDENTS SO THAT BE MY MULTI
PRONGED ANSWER TIER THREE
QUESTIONS.
HAVE YOU ATTEMPTED -- TO OF
GOVERNANCE BUDGET BUT THAT THEY
CAN USE THAT THE AN EXTRA MONEY
THE US.
WELL HE HAS IS PROVIDING SOME
MAINTENANCE MONEY I IN THE
BUDGET.
BUT YOU KNOW PRIOR TO THIS BOND
THAT THE OBLIGATION AT LEAST AT
THE LAST GOVERNOR.
SERVE FOR EIGHT YEARS WAS TO PUT
THAT -- REQUIREMENT ON TO THE
SYSTEMS THEMSELVES.
AND BY DOING SO IT MEANT THAT
THE THAT THE OBLIGATION FOR THAT
CAPITAL.
HAD AT AT HAD A AS A POSSIBILITY
THAT WOULD WOULD BE -- FUNDED BY
TWO WHICH SHOULD.
TUITION INCREASES THAT NONE OF
US HERE LIKE -- BUT THAT THAT
WAS THE A REVENUE SOURCE FOR ANY
CAPITAL OVER THE LAST EIGHT
YEARS -- AT THE SYSTEMS WITH
EITHER EXISTING REVENUE OR OR
OTHER MONEY THAT -- COULD COME
IN THE FORM OF TUITION.
AND I THINK THAT'S NOT SOMETHING
THAT WE THINK -- IS THE PRUDENT
COURSE THE THE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
SYSTEM WERE BUILT BY THE ALL THE
TAXPAYERS OF CALIFORNIA WE ALL
SUPPORTED THOSE.
HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IT
WASN'T SOMETHING THAT WE SET UP
THE STUDENTS THAT GO ON THEIR
FAMILIES HAVE THAT OBLIGATION SO
WE HAVE ALL PAID COLLECTIVELY.
AND THAT'S WHAT BONDS DO IS THEY
COLLECTIVELY ALL SHARE IN THOSE
COSTS OVER TIME OVER MANY MANY
DECADES NOT JUST FUNDED IN ONE
SIMPLE.
A BUDGET -- THAT HAS AT SOME
SURPLUS MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THAT
CAP OF ONE TIME COSTS THESE ARE
SIGNIFICANT.
AND I THINK THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE
BEFORE YOU A LONG TERM FUNDING
MECHANISM -- THAT HAS GRADUAL
STATE FIND COSTS RATHER THAN A
ONE TIME WHICH COME AND GO.
IF I DON'T QUESTION THAT THIS
EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS SO A GEO
BONTA HOW LONG LAW OR THIS
MAINTAINED -- A TOTAL OF A TOP
SHAPE OF THE BUILDING THAT
CURRENTLY YOU AYE ENVISIONING TO
MAINTAIN.
I DON'T WANT TO MISLEAD YOU TO
SAY THAT THE SAN HOUSE GOING TO
SOLVE ALL THE PROBLEMS FOR BOTH
SYSTEMS -- IT DOESN'T THAT NEEDS
ARE EVEN GREATER AND THESE ARE
THESE ARE CHOICES THAT THEY WILL
MAKE IN TERMS OF HOW THEY SPEND
THAT MONEY THEY'LL GO THROUGH A
PUBLIC PROCESS.
A PUBLIC HEARING PROCESS WITH
HIM PUT FROM ALL STAKEHOLDERS.
I THOUGHT THAT ALLOW THE REGIONS
IN THE TRUSTEES TO MAKE
THOUGHTFUL CHOICES ABOUT WHERE
THOSE EXPENDITURES WILL OCCUR
EACH YEAR.
IN THEIR FIVE YEAR CAPITAL PLAN
AND AS THINGS MOVE FORWARD AS
YOU KNOW THESE THINGS DON'T
HAPPEN.
OVERNIGHT SO THERE IS A PROCESS
THAT THEY'LL GO THROUGH TO MAKE
THESE CHOICES ABOUT HOW IS IT.
IS IT EARTHQUAKE RETROFITTING IS
IT A NEW A LABORATORY THAT
STOPPING KIDS FROM GETTING
SCIENCE DEGREES THEY'LL MAKE
THESE THOUGHTFUL CHOICES.
I IN A DELIBERATE OF WAY IT'S
NOT PRESCRIPTIVE IN THE BILL
THAT YOU HAVE BEFORE YOU.
THANK YOU THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS COMMENTS
FROM THE COMMITTEE.
DR ROMA.
THANK YOU SENATOR I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS TODAY AND MOVE
THIS BILL MISTER CHAIR WHILE I
DON'T HAVE A CSU OR YOU SEE AND
MY DISTRICT I DO HAVE A CITY
COLLEGE WHICH I'M QUITE PROUD OF
AN ANSWER FOR CITY COLLEGE.
BUT I'M SUPPORTING THIS BECAUSE
I TOOK A TOUR WITH OUR CSU
PRESIDENT AT FRESNO STATE.
AND I SAW THEIR CENTRAL CORE
POWER PLANT AND THE COMPUTER
THAT OPERATED IT.
STILL HAS AN OPERATING SYSTEM
AND HAD A FLOPPY DISK DRIVE FOR
THOSE OF YOU WHO.
KNOW ABOUT THAT AND THEY HAD TO
FIND A LOT OF THEIR REPLACEMENTS
ON EBAY BECAUSE THE PRODUCER NO
LONGER IS IN SUPPLY THAT'S HOW
LONG OUR FACILITIES HAVE NEEDED
THIS UPGRADE AND WHY I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THIS.
TODAY IT'S IMPERATIVE FOR OUR
HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS TO
BE REINVESTED IN AND WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON
THIS.
THANK YOU AND AND AND AND
PRESIDENT CASTRO WAS A VERY
ARTICULATE ADVOCATE FOR FRESNO
STATE AND I THINK THAT'S WHY
IT'S NOT SENATOR BOARD JUST.
HAS JOINED IN DIE AND CO AUTHOR
IN THIS LEGISLATION FOR THAT
VERY REASON THANK YOU VERY MUCH
[inaudible]
MR GABER.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I JUST
WANTED TO THANK YOU SENATOR FOR
YOUR LEADERSHIP PROUD TO BE A
PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR OF THIS
PROJECT.
YOU'VE DONE A TREMENDOUS JOB
HERE I THINK THIS IS ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT BILLS WE HAVE A
FOR THE LEGISLATURE THIS YEAR
AND JUST WANT TO THANK YOU AGAIN
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP.
AND WOOD -- SECOND THE BILL.
THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS.
I ALSO WANT TO THANK -- THE
AUTHOR FOR BRING IN THIS MEASURE
FORWARD AND I'M ALSO THANKFUL TO
BE A PRINCIPAL CO AUTHOR THANK
YOU.
AS I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
VISIT A MANY OF THE CAMPUSES I
INCLUDING SACKS STATE WHERE I
SAW JUST THE VERY THING THAT YOU
MENTIONED -- LABORATORY THAT IS
A BOTTLENECK FOR STUDENTS A
LABORATORY THAT SOLD -- THAT IT
CAN'T OF THE COMEDY OF THE
STUDENTS WHO NEED THAT SCIENCE
CLASS IN THAT SCIENCE LAB.
IN ORDER TO MOVE FORWARD WITH
THEIR DEGREES -- IT ALSO UC
RIVERSIDE THE DISTRICT THAT I
REPRESENT AS IT BEGINS TO GROW
IT AS IT BEGINS TO ACCOMMODATE
MORE AND MORE STUDENTS.
I HEAR STORIES OF STUDENTS
SITTING ON THE FLOOR OF NOT
BEING ENOUGH -- DEATHS.
OF NOT BEING NOT ENOUGH OFFICE
SPACE OF FOR NEW FACULTY.
SO FOR FOR ALL THOSE REASONS --
I THINK VERY MUCH THIS IS. FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD AND
SENATOR IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND THANK
YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP AND CO
SPONSORSHIP OF THIS MEASURE AND
I'M I'M VERY PROUD OF THE FACT
THAT.
IT'S A BIPARTISAN BILL BOTH
SIDES OF THE AISLE RECOGNIZE THE
IMPORTANCE OF INVESTING IN OUR
HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
OUR PARENTS AND GRANDPARENTS DID
THAT FOR US IN THE KIDS OF TODAY
WE NEED TO DO THAT FOR THE
FUTURE.
AND I THINK THIS BILL OUT WILL
ALLOW THE VOTERS OF CALIFORNIA
HOPEFULLY TO MAKE A GOOD CHOICE
WITH THAT I APPRECIATE YOUR
CONSIDERATION.
AND MADAM SECRETARY READ PLEASE
CALL THE ROLL.
THE MOTION IS DUE PASSED TO THE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE.

WEBER HI.
THE BILL IS A NINE ZERO THAT
BILL IS OUT WE WILL LEAVE IT
OPEN FOR ABSENT MEMBERS AND THEN
WE WILL GO TO FILE ITEM.
TO SB.
ONE FORTY EIGHT THANK YOU THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS.
SB ONE FORTY EIGHT WOULD CREATE
INCENTIVES TO ENCOURAGE
UNDERSERVED STUDENTS TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE CALIFORNIA
PROMISE PROGRAM.
THAT PROMISE PROGRAM WENT INTO
EFFECT IN.
TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN HE GAVE
STUDENTS WHO WANT TO GRADUATE IN
FOUR YEARS THE TOOLS TO DO SO.
SO FAR NEARLY EIGHT THOUSAND
STUDENTS HAVE PARTICIPATED --
THE PREVIOUS BILL ALSO REQUIRED
THE STATE UNIVERSITIES TO SUBMIT
A REPORT WITH RECOMMENDATIONS ON
POTENTIAL INCENTIVES THAT ARE
CUTTING.
ENCOURAGE STUDENT PARTICIPATION
IN THE PROMISE PROGRAM -- IN
THAT REPORT THE STATE
UNIVERSITIES NOTED QUOTE
EFFECTIVE INCENTIVES COULD
ENCOURAGE MORE STUDENTS TO KEEP
PACE WITH THEIR COMMITMENTS.
AND COULD SERVE AS A MEANS TO
ATTRACT MORE STUDENTS TO COMMIT
TO THESE PROGRAMS AT THE ONSET.
OF THEIR ACADEMIC CAREER.
FIND QUOTE SO BUILDING UPON
THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE
BILL IS THAT BEFORE YOU -- IT
WOULD ESTABLISH THE STUDENT
SUCCESS IN ON TIME COMPLETION
FIND BUT ALLOW MONEY
APPROPRIATED TO THIS FUND BY THE
LEGISLATURE TO BE USED FOR
SUMMER GRANTS.
ON TRACK PROGRESS GRANTS.
AND STARTING ON JULY FIRST
TWENTY TWENTY PROVIDE BACK IN
TUITION WAIVERS FOR ALL
REMAINING CLASSES NEEDED TO
GRADUATE WHEN A CAMPUS IS UNABLE
TO PROVIDE A PATHWAY TO GRADUATE.
IN FOUR OR TWO YEARS.
IN PARTICULAR THIS BILL PROVIDES
INCENTIVES TO STUDENTS IN NEED
TO REQUIREMENT UNDER THE BILL
THAT YOU SEE BEFORE YOU TODAY.
AND THEY ARE CONTINGENT UPON AN
APPROPRIATION BY THE LEGISLATURE.
AND FINALLY THE CSU WOULD BE
ALLOWED TO CHOOSE WHICH AND
SENATOR USED AT EACH INDIVIDUAL
CAMPUS PROGRAM.
AND THE MONEY -- THE BILL
SPECIFIES THAT MONEY IN THIS NEW
FUND MAY BE USED BY THE TRUSTEES
TO CREATE THE INCENTIVES NOTHING
REQUIRES THE TRUSTEES TO DO THIS.
I RESPECTFULLY.
REQUEST AN AYE VOTE TODAY AND
WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT.
IS HANNAH BRAG STAT.
OF REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
STATE STUDENT ASSOCIATION
[inaudible]
SECOND.
A GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MEDINA
MEMBERS MY NAME IS HANNAH BACK
START WITH THE CAL STATE STUDENT
ASSOCIATION WE ARE THANKFUL FOR
SENATOR GLAZER FOR THE WORK HE'S
DONE ON SB.
ONE FOUR EIGHT THE CALIFORNIA
PROMISE PROGRAM. FOUR YEARS AGO
WHEN SENATOR GLAZER BROUGHT THE
CALIFORNIA PROMISED BUILT OUR
BOARD CSSA OPPOSE THE BILL AT
THE TIME WE FELT LIKE THE
TUITION FREEZE AS WELL AS THE
IDEA THE ONLY PRIVILEGE STUDENTS
COULD ACCESS THE PROGRAM.
DID NOT HAVE STUDENT EQUITY AT
THE HEART OF THE PROGRAM MAKING
OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO ONLY
THOSE STUDENTS WITH THE
FINANCIAL ABILITY TO TAKE THEM
IS NOT AN ACQUITTAL EQUITABLE
SOLUTION TO US.
MANY STUDENTS HAVE TO WORK
MULTIPLE JOBS TO SUPPORT
THEMSELVES AND MANY TIMES THEIR
FAMILIES.
AND AS AN ORGANIZATION THAT
REPRESENTS CSU STUDENTS WITH
SUCH A HIGH LEVEL OF POWERS THAT
BEYONCE FIRST GENERATION
STUDENTS AN UNDER REPRESENTED
POPULATIONS EQUITY IS AN APP
SALUTE PRIORITY FOR US.
IT'S AN ARE VERY MISSION AS AN
ORGANIZATION THIS IS WHY WE ARE
SO APPRECIATIVE OF THE WORK THAT
HAS BEEN DONE ON SB ONE FOUR
EIGHT BY SENATOR GLAZER AND HIS
STAFF TO COME UP WITH INCENTIVES
TO ENABLE ALL STUDENTS A GOOD
FAITH OPPORTUNITY. TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THESE PROGRAMS WITH
THE ADDED INCENTIVES SUMMER TERM
GRANTS ON TRUCK PROPER PROGRESS
GRANTS TO OFFSET NON TUITION
COSTS AND NO TUITION CHARGE FOR
STUDENTS WHO TAKE LONGER THAN
FOUR YEARS DUE TO INSTITUTIONAL
FAULT.
THE BILL NOW ADDRESSES MANY OF
OUR CONCERNS REGARDING EQUITY.
GOING TO COLLEGE HAS A NUMBER OF
BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS
PARTICULARLY IN THE CAL STATE
STUDENT SYSTEM.
THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR UPWARD
SOCIAL MOBILITY IS CHIEF AMONG
THEM THIS PERSPECTIVE IS
SUPPORTED BY RESEARCH THAT I
SHOWN MANY CAL STATE.
CAMPUSES ARE THE NATIONAL
LEADERS ON ENABLING UPWARD
SOCIAL MOBILITY CAL STATE LA AS
THE NUMBER ONE INSTITUTION TO DO
THIS.
BUT THIS BENEFIT IS NEVER
REALIZED AND STUDENTS ARE
ACTUALLY WORSE OFF IF THEY
CANNOT GRADUATE.
IF THE STATE CREATES PROGRAMS
THAT HELP STUDENTS GRADUATE
QUICKER EVEN SMALLER SUBSET
STUDENTS THAT HAS AN IMPACT ON
ALL STUDENTS.
SIMPLY PUT GRADUATING STUDENTS
QUICKER OPENS UP COURSE BASED
ACROSS THE BOARD AS WELL AS
ENROLLMENT SLOTS SB ONE FOUR
EIGHT SIX DO YOU JUSTICE NOW
WITH THE INCENTIVES INCLUDED NOT
ONLY WILL THE BENEFITS OF THE
PROGRAM BE SEEN BY ALL STUDENTS
IN THE SYSTEM.
BUT NOW THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PERSONALLY PARTICIPATE IN THIS
PROGRAM IS OPEN TO ALL STUDENTS
WE THANK THE SENATOR FOR HIS
WORK ON THIS AND DRIVE VOTE
TODAY.
ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN SUPPORT.
MANY RODRIGUEZ ON BEHALF OF THE
EDUCATION TRUST WESTON SUPPORT.
THANK YOU.
ANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
SCENE NINE ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS FROM THE COMMITTEE MR
GABLE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR SO CENTER
I JUST -- WANNA MAKE SURE
UNDERSTAND OUR WEEK.
NARROWING THE ELIGIBILITY FOR
THE COLLEGE PROMISE PROGRAM.
UNDER THE BILL AS CURRENTLY
WRITTEN IT WOULD DO THAT YES
OKAY AND WHAT I'M JUST CAN YOU
SPELL THAT OUT A LITTLE BIT TO
SORT OF WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK
LIKE IN THE RATIONALE FOR
NARROWING IT.
WELL THE THE RATIONALE WOULD
ONLY BE IN THE EYE OF THE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE CHAIR --
PLACE THIS AMENDMENT IN THE BILL --
BUT IT DOES LIMIT THE
ELIGIBILITY -- AND THAT WILL
AFFECT THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS
WHO WILL CHOOSE TO PARTICIPATE
IN THE PROMISE PROGRAM GOING
FORWARD UNDER THE BILL AS
WRITTEN TODAY OKAY AND YOU HAVE
A SENSE OF WHAT THE NUMBER WHAT
WHAT THAT BEING IN THE NUMBER
STUDENTS THAT.
PREVIOUSLY WOULD HAVE BEEN
ELIGIBLE FOR COLLEGE PROMISE AND
NOW WILL NO LONGER BE ELIGIBLE
FOR IT -- UNDER THAT THAT
NUMBERS THAT I'VE GOTTEN OF THE
EIGHT THOUSAND STUDENTS THAT
HAVE -- ARE PARTICIPATING TODAY
IN THE PROGRAM -- THAT
APPROXIMATELY -- 40% GOING
FORWARD IF THE PROGRAM HAD BEEN.
UNDER THOSE TERMS HAVE BEEN
CREATED. TWO YEARS AGO WOULD NOT
BE ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN IT
THAT TODAY -- SO THERE THAT THAT
THAT THAT AND THAT IS OBVIOUSLY
A POINT OF A DISAPPOINTMENT.
OKAY I WELL I AND I APPRECIATE
THE CANTOR HADN'T REALIZED THAT
THAT HAD BEEN THE TRAJECTORY THE
LEGISLATION I VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE THE SPIRIT AND INTENT
OF WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO HERE
I GUESS I YOU KNOW IN A I I
THINK I PROBABLY AGREE WITH YOU.
THAT IN A IN A IN A PERFECT
WORLD IT WOULD BE NICE FOR THIS
PROGRAM TO BE FOR ALL FOR ALL
STUDENTS AT AT CSU TO HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY EXCESSES PROGRAM.
I AGREE THANK YOU.
SEE NOOTHER QUESTIONS WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE CENTER THANK YOU
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THIS
ISSUE OF GRADUATION RATES HAS
BEEN.
A PASSION OF MINE SINCE I WAS A
PUT ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND
THEN OUT AND AND AND SINCE I'VE
BEEN IN THE LEGISLATURE.
I WE HAS SO MANY GREAT CAMPUS
LEADERS AND GREAT FACULTY WHO
DOING SUCH GREAT WORK FOR OUR
STUDENTS BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT
OUR FOR YOUR GRADUATION RATES
IT'S IT'S A POINT OF GREAT
DISAPPOINTMENT OF ALL OF US
CURRENTLY IT IT'S ABOUT 4424%.
FOR THE THE STATE UNIVERSITIES
24% GET THROUGH IN FOUR YEARS.
AND THE SIX YEAR GRADUATION RATE
HOVERS A LITTLE UNDER 60% NOW
THE LEADERSHIP OF THE SYSTEM
RECOGNIZES THE PROBLEM AND
THEY'VE SET SOME VERY AMBITIOUS
GOALS THAT THEY WOULD LIKE US TO
ACHIEVE BY TWENTY TWENTY FIVE TO
GET 240%.
OFF FOR YOUR GRADUATION RATE
WITH NO DIFFERENTIAL BETWEEN
UNDER REPRESENTED AT THE
STUDENTS THAT I THINK THAT IS
EXCELLENT AND THAT'S GREAT
LEADERSHIP.
IT REQUIRES A PARTNERSHIP ALL OF
US TOGETHER IN THE BUDGET
PROCESS IN THAT IN THE POLICY
CHOICES THAT WE'RE MAKING HERE
TODAY -- BUT IT'S ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT THINGS WE CAN DO
TO NOT JUST PROVIDE -- ACCESS
AND AFFORDABILITY AND QUALITY
BUT STUDENT COMPLETION IF WE
DON'T HAVE THAT FOURTH LEG TO
THE CHAIR WE'RE NOT DOING OUR
WORK WELL AND I THINK THIS IS
WHAT THIS BILL FOCUSES ON AND I
KNOW MANY PEOPLE AROUND THAT.
DAY AS HERE IS HAVE THAT JOIN ME
IN TRYING TO GET THAT ATTENTION
TOOK STUDENT COMPLETION AT MONTH
EVERYTHING ELSE IS EQUAL.
AND AND THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL
ATTEMPTS TO ADVANCE TODAY AND I
APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.

REQUIREMENTS.
UP THE LEGISLATURE IN THE PAST
OF THIS TO BE COMMENDED FOR ITS
WORK ON SB TWELVE TEN WHICH

CONTINUE THIS PROGRESS AND ALLOW
YOU.

GRADUATE STUDENTS THE ALSO MEET
AB FIVE FORTY REQUIREMENTS.
IF THIS BILL IS PASSED IT IS
ESTIMATED THAT FIVE HUNDRED
GRADUATE STUDENTS IN THE UC AND
CSU COMBINED WOULD BE ELIGIBLE
FOR THIS PROGRAM.
THIS BILL HAS THE SUPPORT OF
BOTH THE UC AND CSU SEGMENTS AS
WELL AS SUPPORT. FOR BENNY
STAKEHOLDER GROUPS.
I HOPE TODAY WE CAN HAVE ALL OF
YOUR SUPPORT AS WELL.
AND MOVE OUR STATE CLOSER
TOWARDS ENSURING THAT ALL
CALIFORNIANS HAVE THE SAME
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ACADEMIC
SUCCESS -- AND TODAY IS A
WITNESS I'D LIKE TO PRESENT
CHRISTOPHER SANCHEZ THE POLICY
ADVOCATE. FOR THE COALITION FOR
HUMANE IMMIGRANT RIGHTS TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL.
CHRIS FOR SIGNS OF A TRAILER THE
COALITION FOR HUMANE IMMIGRANT
RIGHTS AND ALSO REPRESENTING OUR
YOUTH ORGANIZATION THE
CALIFORNIA JIM NETWORK -- PROUD
TO BE SPONSORS THIS MEASURE --
THERE ARE SEVERAL REASONS WHY
THIS BILL CAME OF TO TO LIE ONE
IS A FROM DISCUSSIONS WITH OUR
MEMBERS A LOT OF THEM WERE
SAYING AFTER WENT ONCE THEY
ATTENDED GRADUATE SCHOOL BECAUSE
THEY HAVE ENTERED INTO AN
EDUCATIONAL PATHWAY.
TOWARDS A PROGRAM THAT REQUIRE
THEM TO GO TO GRADUATE SCHOOL
FOR NOT TO BE DOLLARS AND SOME
OF THE UNIVERSITY GRANTS WERE
NOT AVAILABLE TO THEM BECAUSE
THEY FOCUSED ON UNDERGRADUATE
STUDENTS.
ONCE THE STUDENTS WOULD SEEK OUT
LOANS MOST THE TIME THERE WOULD
BE BARRED OUT OF TRADITIONAL
STUDENT LOANS BECAUSE OF THE
LACK OF STATUS AND WOOD.

OBTAINING HIGH INTEREST RATE
LOANS WHICH WOULD TYPICALLY
BRING THEM TO TRIPLE DIGIT
INTEREST RATES.
ARE THEREFORE -- WE BELIEVE THAT
THIS IS A VERY LOW COST
AFFORDABLE ALL ALONE FOR
GRADUATE STUDENTS WHO HAVE
ALREADY BEEN ON EDUCATIONAL
PATHWAYS TOWARDS GRADUATE
EDUCATION WHICH IS A LOAN THAT
THEY WOULD REPAY.

EDUCATION AND FOR THOSE REASONS

SPEAK TO NINETY SIX OF FOR TWO
REASONS -- SUCCESS IN TODAY'S

ASYLUM IS A HARD AND LONG.
ONE AND IT TAKES AWHILE.
TO YIELD RESULTS BUT PEOPLE LIKE
ME AND MY FAMILY COME TO THIS
COUNTRY LOOKING FOR A BETTER
LIFE.
AND WE COME HERE WITH NOTHING NO
MONEY NO.
PRETTY NO CAPITAL WHEN WE FIRST
ARRIVED IN THE UNITED STATES.
MY PARENTS AND I HAVE TO STAY
WITH RELATIVES.
IN FOUR WEEKS UNTIL WE FOUND A
SMALL APARTMENT WE COULD AFFORD
I WAS SIXTEEN THEN.
IT TOOK US YEARS TO PUT HER LIFE
BACK TOGETHER -- I COULD NOT
IMAGINE WHAT WE WOULD HAVE DONE
IF WE HAVE TO PAY FOR TUITION
WHEN WE FIRST ARRIVED HERE.
AT THE COST OF ATTENDANCE AT A
YOU SEE AS THE TO TO YOU SEE AS
A NON RESIDENT WHEN YOU.
FIRST GET HERE AND YOU'RE GOING
TO COLLEGE AND HE JUST GOT HERE
FROM A DIFFERENT COUNTRY -- BUT
YOU ARE NOT RESIDENT IN THE COST
OF ATTENDANCE AS WELL OVER FIFTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS. FOR NON
RESIDENT AND THAT'S WELL OVER WE
HAD WHEN WE FIRST GOT HERE.
I AM ABLE TO BE HERE IN FRONT OF

IS THAT MANY OTHERS LIKE ME WHO
HAVE WHO HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE
SENATE PROCESS ARE NOT ABLE TO
TAKE THE TIME OUT OF THEIR LIVES
TO TELL YOU THIS THAT WE COME
HERE TO THE UNITED STATES AND
THE CALIFORNIA LOOKING FOR A
BETTER FUTURE.
MANY OF US ESCAPE OPPRESSION
VIOLENCE AND THREATS TO OUR
LIVES.
MY PARENTS AND I FLIP FROM IRAN
DUE TO THE THREAT OF POLITICAL
PROSPERS OCCASION.
AND WE CAME HERE BECAUSE WE
BELIEVE THAT WE WOULD BE ABLE TO
FIND A BETTER FUTURE FOR OUR
FAMILY.
WE CAME HERE WITH VERY LITTLE
MANY COME HERE WITH NOTHING --
AND IN THIS ENTRY SIX AS A
SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE WITHOUT A
COLLEGE EDUCATION.
OUR SUCCESS CONTRIBUTES TO THE
STATE INTO THIS COUNTRY BUT WE
CANNOT DO THAT WITHOUT AN
EDUCATION.
AND WE CANNOT GET AN EDUCATION
IF WE HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN A
ROOF OVER OUR HEADS.
