KNOW ONLY TOO WELL THE BASIC
NEEDS AND SECURITY HAS A DIRECT
IMPACT ON STUDENT ACADEMIC
SUCCESS. IN THE HARSH REALITY
IS A COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
ARE STRUGGLING TO MEET THEIR
BASIC NEEDS AT ALARMING RATES.
RELEASED IN MARCH TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN BY THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE AND THE HOPE CENTER FOR
COLLEGE COMMUNITY AND JUSTICE.
FOUND A 19% OF THE SURVEY
STUDENTS RESPONDENTS
EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS IN THE
PREVIOUS YEAR. 60% OF STUDENTS
WERE HOUSING AND SECURE IN THE
PREVIOUS YEAR AND 50% OF
STUDENTS WHO ARE FOOD INSECURE
IN THE PRIOR THIRTY DAYS. THESE
NUMBERS ARE HEARTBREAKING AND
IS CAMPUS IS A PHYSICALLY
CLOSED AND MOVED ONLINE CLASSES
DURING THE CLOVER NINETEEN
CRISIS. THE EXISTING BASIC
NEEDS CHALLENGES THEIR STUDENTS
FACE HAS BECOME EVEN MORE
PRONOUNCED AND URGENTLY REQUIRE
ACTION. COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE
STEPPING UP TO MEET THE BASIC
NEEDSOF THEIR STUDENTS THROUGH
FOOD PANTRIES HOUSING RELATED
EFFORTS AND OTHER SERVICES AND
RESOURCES. HOWEVER FINDING
THESE RESOURCES OFTEN INCLUDES
NAVIGATING DISCONNECTED SYSTEMS
THAT CAN BE CONFUSING FOR
STUDENTS. THEREFORE AB TWENTY
THREE EIGHTY EIGHT WOULD
PROVIDE A COORDINATED AND
INTEGRATED APPROACH TO MEET
STUDENTS BASIC NEEDS BY
ESTABLISHING A BASIC NEED
CENTER AND BASIC MEANS
COORDINATOR ON EACH COMMUNITY
COLLEGE CAMPUS ON OR BEFORE.
JULY FIRST TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
THE BASIC NEEDS COORDINATOR
WOULD ACT AS A BROKER AND
IDENTIFYING SUPPORTING AND
LINKING STUDENTS TO ON AND OFF
CAMPUS SERVICES AND RESOURCES.
THE BASIC NEEDS CENTER IS
INTENDED TO BE A ONE STOP
CENTRALIZED LOCATION FOR
STUDENTS TO MORE EASILY ACCESS
IN AWARENESS AND BE CONNECTED
TO EXISTING SERVICES AND
RESOURCES. UNDER THIS BILL
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WILL ALSO
DEVELOP A DOCUMENT THAT CLEARLY
LISTS ALL ON AND OFF CAMPUS
BASIC NEEDS SERVICES AND
RESOURCES THAT WOULD BE
AVAILABLE AT THE CENTER AS WELL
AS ON THE CAMPUSES WEBSITE AND
STUDENT PORTAL. AB TWENTY THREE
EIGHTY EIGHT ALSO IDENTIFIES
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES THEY
CAMPUSES MAY USED TO ESTABLISH
THE CENTER IN COORDINATOR SUCH
AS STUDENT EQUITY AND
ACHIEVEMENT PROGRAM FUNDING AS
WELL AS GIFTS AND DONATIONS.
THE IDEA OF A COORDINATED AND
INTEGRATED APPROACH IS NOT NEW.
IN FACT FIFTY THREE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES HAVE REPORTED HAVING
SOME FORM OF BASIC NEEDS CENTER.
DURING THESE UNPRECEDENTED IN
CHALLENGING TIMES COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS ACROSS ALL
CAMPUSES NEED OUR SUPPORT NOW
MORE THAN EVER. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE AND I'M

CAN ONLY BE USED FOR THE
PURPOSE OF INSTRUCTIONAL
MATERIALS HOWEVER OVER 60% OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT HAVE
A SURPLUS OF THESE RESTRICTED
LOTTERY FUNDS LEAVING OVER

COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT TO

LOTTERY FUNDS TO PROVIDE
HOUSING ASSISTANCE AND FOOD
ASSISTANCE TO STUDENTS THIS
BILL FURTHERS THE PURPOSES OF
THE CALIFORNIA STATE LOTTERY
ACT BECAUSE AS HAS BEEN
RECOGNIZED BY THE FEDERAL

RESTRICTED LOTTERY FUNDS ON THE
OTHER HAND CAN ONLY BE USED ON

SURPLUS AT FIVE POINT SEVENTY
FIVE MILLION. INSTEAD OF
LETTING THIS MONEY IN THE
ACCOUNT AND ROLL OVER FROM YEAR

OPTION OF USING IT TO FULFILL
THE INTENT OF THE VOTERS.
DISTRICTS COULD BEUSING THE
FUNDS TO SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS
BASIC NEEDS WHICH WOULD ENSURE
THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS. I
FACULTY WHO WORK WITH STUDENTS
EVERY DAY WE KNOW THAT BASIC
NEEDS AN ACADEMIC SUCCESS ARE
INEXTRICABLY LINKED. WHEN MY

CHEN COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME
IS THURMOND **** AND I AM WITH

ARTHUR SPONSORS FOR TEN
APPLYING AN ADDITIONAL SOURCE
OF FUNDS THAT CAN BE USED TO
SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS DURING
THIS DIFFICULT BUDGET TIMES.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE MR LIVING. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR AND
THANK YOU TO THE OFFER I KNOW
YOU'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THESE
ISSUES FOR A LONG TIME TRYING
TO HELP PEOPLE AND COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND I ADMIRE AND I
RESPECT THAT AL SUPPORT THE
BILL TODAY PROBABLY YOU KNOW AS
IT MOVES THROUGH THE ASSEMBLY
ALL SUPPORTED. I DO WISH THAT
WE COULD SUPPORT IT WITH MONEY
FROM ANOTHER PLACE- HIGH- DO
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IT THE
LOTTERY YOU CAN AS THE MARKET
ALLOW PEOPLE TO DREAM AND HAVE
A DIVERSION WHICH SOMETHING WE
ALL PROBABLY NEED A LITTLE BIT
MORE OF RIGHT NOW. THAT WE
KNOW- REALLY PRAISE UPON THE
POOREST CALIFORNIANS AND TAKES
MONEY FROM THE POOREST
CALIFORNIANS AND IF WE COULD
JUST FUND OUR SCHOOLS HAD JUST
GENERALLY- BETTER WE WOULDN'T
HAVE TO RELY ON A LOTTERY THAT
TAKES MONEY FROM THE POOR-
ESSENTIALLY JUST. MULTIPLE
TIMES EVERY WEEK. THAT JUST
THEY CAN'T AFFORD MOST LIKELY
SO I SAW ALSO PORT THIS BUT I
WISH THAT WE COULD FIND THESE
THINGS IN A DIFFERENT WAY THANK
YOU. MR BOVELL. YES MISTER
CHAIR- I'M A NO I'M A NOT VOTE
ON THIS ONE I WANT TO LET YOU
KNOW WHY I HAD CONCERNS- NUMBER
ONE IS THE LOTTERY RECENTLY
THROUGH THE STATE COMPTROLLER
AND THE- GOVERNOR AND I'M NOT
QUITE SURE WHERE THE
LEGISLATURE- CAME IN ON THIS
LOWERED PRIZES AND EDUCATION
FROM 87% 84% AND REALLY
TROUBLING TO ME IS OVERHEAD FOR
THE LOTTERY. WENT FROM 30% 216%
THAT'S A 6% CHUNK OUT OF THE
MONEY THAT WAS GOING BASICALLY
THE EDUCATION THAT CONCERNS ME
GREATLY. ALSO THERE MAY BE A
QUESTION DOWN THE ROAD ABOUT
THE CONSTITUTIONALITY-
SPECIFICALLY AB ONE FORTY TWO
HIGH I SEE IN. TWO THOUSAND
TEN. CHANGE THE LOTTERY WITHOUT
A VOTE OF THE PEOPLE NOW
HOWEVER AB ONE FORTY TO
INCREASE PRIZE AWARDS SO IT'S
UNLIKELY THE PUBLIC WOULD HAVE
SUED SO THE LEGISLATURE KIND OF
SLID BY THAT ONE. NOT QUITE
SURE HOW THIS WOULD GO. ON AND
THEN FINALLY IT JUST TO WRAP IT
UP. HELPING THE HOMELESS
PROVIDING FOOD ASSISTANCE AND
HOUSING ARE WORTHY CAUSES AND I
SUPPORT THOSE CAUSES BUT IT'S
NOT PART OF THE MAIN MISSION OF
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. THERE MAIN
MISSION IS TO PROVIDE EDUCATION
AND MY CONCERN IS IF YOU GET
OFF INTO THE WEEDS HERE. YOU'RE
NOT AS EFFECTIVE IN EDUCATING
OUR SERVICES THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MISTER CHAIR. THANK YOU
MISTER VOEPEL ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. TO SEE

BERMAN FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD AND FOR ACCEPTING THE

CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
MANY OF THE CALIFORNIA LOTTERY
FUNDS INTENDED FOR
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS HAVE
REMAINED ON ALLOCATED TO THE
LACK OF NEED. IN THE WAKE OF
THE CURRENT. PANDEMIC IT'S
IMPERATIVE THAT THE LEGISLATURE
PROVIDE THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WITH EVERY
AVENUE POSSIBLE TO MAXIMIZE THE
USE OF THE EXISTING FUNDS FOR
THE BENEFIT OF STUDENTS. AB

EXACTLY THIS BY ENSURING
UNALLOCATED RESTRICTED LOTTERY

IN ORDER. TO BE HEARD IS AB
TWENTY FOUR SIXTEEN. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GABRIEL WHEN YOU'RE
READY PLEASE BEGIN. THANK YOU
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I AM
PLEASED TODAY 2% AB TWENTY FOUR
SIXTEEN WHICH WILL REQUIRE
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA TO
CONSIDER HOMELESSNESS AS AN
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE WHEN
DETERMINING WHETHER A STUDENT
SHOULD LOSE THEIR FINANCIAL AID
FOR FAILURE TO MEET CERTAIN
ACADEMIC BENCHMARKS. UNDER
CURRENT LAW STUDENTS ARE
REQUIRED TO ACHIEVE
SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS
OR SAT TO REMAIN ELIGIBLE FOR
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE. EVERY
YEAR THOUSANDS OF CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS LOSE THEIR FINANCIAL
AID BECAUSE THEY FAIL TO
MAINTAIN SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC
PROGRESS. A STUDENT WHO FALLS
BELOW ESSAY P. MAY FILE AN
APPEAL ASKING TO RETAIN THEIR
FINANCIAL AID BASED ON
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. WHAT
MAY BE CONSIDERED EXTENUATING
CIRCUMSTANCES CURRENTLY VARIES
WIDELY FROM CAMPUS TO CAMPUS AS
INDIVIDUAL INSTITUTIONS ARE
PROVIDED WITH SIGNIFICANT
FLEXIBILITY TO DETERMINE WHAT
FACTORS MAY BE CONSIDERED FOR
PURPOSES OF RETAINING FINANCIAL
AID. AB TWENTY FOUR SIXTEEN
WOULD PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO
CALIFORNIA'S INSTITUTIONS OF
HIGHER EDUCATION BY REQUIRING
THEM TO CONSIDER STAINLESS
STUDENT HOMELESSNESS AS AN
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS
CHANGES WARRANTED GIVEN THE
EXTRAORDINARY IMPACT OF
HOMELESSNESS CAN HAVE ON
STUDENT SUCCESS THE ROLE THE
HIGHER EDUCATION COMPLAIN
LIFTING STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
OUT OF POVERTY AND THE
MAGNITUDE OF OUR STATE HOUSING
AND HOMELESSNESS CRISIS. WHICH
IS LIKELY TO BE EXACERBATED BY
THE COVERT NINETEEN CRISIS.
INDEED THIS COMMITTEE HAS
REPEATEDLY HER TESTIMONY ABOUT
THE BROAD AND DEVASTATING
IMPACT OF STUDENT HOMELESSNESS
IN CALIFORNIA. WHICH IMPACTS
NEARLY 20% OF OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS AND MORE THAN
ONE IN TEN AT CSCO. WE ALSO
KNOW THAT STUDENTS FROM
HISTORICALLY UNDER REPRESENTED
COMMUNITIES ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED BY
HOMELESSNESS IN AN ONGOING
ACCESS TO FINANCIAL AID IS A
CENTRAL FOR LOW INCOME STUDENTS
TO REMAIN ENROLLED IN GRADUATE.
IN SHORT AB TWENTY FOUR SIXTEEN
IS A MODEST BUT IMPORTANT
MEASURE THAT WILL MAKE IT
EASIER FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE
STRUGGLING WITH HOMELESSNESS.
AND ALL OF THE RELATED
CHALLENGES TO REMAIN ENROLLED
ACHIEVE ACADEMIC SUCCESS TO
PULL THEMSELVES AND THEIR
FAMILIES OUT OF POVERTY. WITH
ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT
OF THIS LEGISLATION ARE DEBBIE
ROCKER FROM JOHN BURTON
ADVOCATES FOR YOUTH. AND TISSUE
ORTIZ A STUDENT FROM CSU HE
EXPECTS. THANK YOU RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST YOUR AYE BOTH. THANK
YOU SIMPLY MEMBER GABRIEL
EIGHTEEN T. MODERATOR THE FIRST
WITNESS CALLING IN FOR AB
TWENTY FOUR SIXTEEN IS DEBBIE
RUPTURE. PROJECT DIRECTOR WITH
THE JOHN BURTON ADVOCATES FOR
YOUTH. AS ROGER PLEASE PROCEED
WHEN YOU'RE READY. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MY NAME IS DEBBIE
RUSHER AND I'M WITH JOHN BURTON
ADVOCATES FOR YOUTH APPRECIATE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH
YOU TODAY. IN THE FACE OF COVER
NINETEEN AND THE CONSEQUENT
LOSS OF INCOME FOR MANY COLLEGE
STUDENTS THE RATE OF
HOMELESSNESS AMONG STUDENTS IS
LIKELY TO RISE. EVEN PRIOR TO
THE CRISIS 19% OF STUDENTS A
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND 11% OF
CSU STUDENTS REPORTED
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. 60%
OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS
REPORTED HOUSING AND SECURITY.
FOR THE STUDENTS AND THE MANY
MORE LIKE TO FACE SOME OF THIS
IN THE YEARS AHEAD I'M GOING
ACTIONS TO FINANCIALLY
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO THEIR
ABILITY TO REMAIN INVOLVED. IN
IT EVERY YEAR THOUSANDS OF THE
STUDENTS LOSE ACCESS TO
FINANCIAL AID BECAUSE THEY FALL
BELOW THE SATISFACTORY ACADEMIC
PROGRESS STANDARDS. MY WORK
WITH COLLEGE CAMPUSES STAFF AND
FACULTY CHARGED WITH SUPPORTING
THE STUDENTS REPORT THE LOSS
FINANCIAL AID IS A MAJOR
BARRIER TO CONTINUED
INVOLVEMENT. ALMOST COLLEGES
OFFER THE OPPORTUNITY TO APPEAL
ACOSTA FINANCIAL AID TO SAP
APPEALS PROCESS FEES VARY
TREMENDOUSLY BY CAMPUS. CULTURE
GIVEN SIGNIFICANT LATITUDE
UNDER FEDERAL REGULATIONS TO
DEFINE THE CRITERIA FOR A
SUCCESSFUL APPEAL BUT MANY DO
NOT TAKE AND DID NOT TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF THIS FLEXIBILITY.
WHEN A STUDENT EXPERIENCES
HOMELESSNESS GRAY IT'S OFTEN
DROP HOWEVER HOMELESSNESS IS
NOT UNIVERSALLY DEFINED BY
COLLEGES IS A SPECIAL
CIRCUMSTANCE. THE WARRANTS A
STUDENT BEING GIVEN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO MAINTAIN
FINANCIALLY IN ORDER TO REMAIN
ENROLLED AND REGAIN ACADEMIC
STANDING. STILL VERY
HOMELESSNESS SHOULD HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GET BACK ON
TRACK RATHER THAN THEIR
EXPERIENCE OF HOMELESSNESS
MEANING THE END OF THEIR
ACADEMIC CAREER. CONTINUED
ACCESS TO FINANCIAL AID IS A
VITAL TOOL TO ALLOW THE
STUDENTS TO REMAIN ENROLLED THE
TROOPS ARE ACADEMIC STANDING.
AB TWENTY FOUR SIXTEEN WILL
OFFER STUDENTS WHO EXPERIENCE
HOMELESSNESS THIS OPPORTUNITY

THE COMMITTEE ARE THERE
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. YES SIR.
YEAH THANK YOU MISTER VICE
CHAIR AND ALSO THANK YOU TO THE
AUTHOR FOR INTRODUCING THIS
THOUGHTFUL CONVERSATION I
REALLY STRUGGLED WITH THIS
BILL- I DON'T UNFORTUNATELY I'M
GONNA BE ABLE TO SUPPORT IT
TODAY- I THINK THAT WHAT WE SAW
THIS YEAR'S USE PROPOSAL WAS A
WAY TO. ACHIEVE THE GOAL THAT
THE LEGISLATURE HAS ASKED OF IT
WHICH IS TO SPEED UP GRADUATION
RATES AND SO THEY WANTED TO
FIND A WAY TO PREPARE STUDENTS
BETTER FOR WHEN THEY WOULD GET
TO COLLEGE SO THAT THEY COULD-
COMPLETE COLLEGE THEN DROPPING
OUT. AND THEY SEND COMMUNITY
WHICH IS YOU KNOW WHAT WE
REALLY WANT OUR INSTITUTIONS TO
DO A PARTICULARLY LA U. S. D.
WHICH SAID WE JUST SIMPLY CAN'T
PROVIDE THESE CLASSES RIGHT NOW
I WHICH IS VERY SAD TO HEAR US
YES YOU HEARD THAT THEY CHANGED
THEIR RECOMMENDATION AND- AND
SO THEY'RE NOT IMPLEMENTING
THAT REQUIREMENT- AT THE TIME
THAT THEY WANTED TO. WHICH IS
GOING TO HURT OUR ABILITY TO
GET TO THE GRADUATION RATE GOAL
THAT WE HAVE AND OF COURSE TO
GET O. THE WORK FORCE THAT WE
WANT CALIFORNIA TO HAVE. FOR
THE FUTURE GENERATION OF
CALIFORNIAN THE ECONOMIC MIGHT
OF THE STATE AND ENGAGE
CITIZENRY. THAT THE STATE
DESERVES. I WANT TO THROW OPEN
THE GATES OF HIGHER EDUCATION
TO EVERYBODY. I ABSOLUTELY DO
AND- AND SO WE HAVE AS AS- IN
OUR JOBS IN THE PAST FEW YEARS.
DONE EVERYTHING WE CAN TO DO
THAT CREATE MORE SEATS
AVAILABLE AT CSU. AND YOU SEE
AND MAKE OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
AS AFFORDABLE AS IT CAN BE YOU
KNOW FREE EXCEPT FOR YOUR COST
OF LIVING. AND I AND THERE ARE
SO MANY WAYS FOR STUDENTS EVEN
IF THEY DON'T MEET THIS
QUANTITATIVE REASONING
REQUIREMENT IF IT WAS IN PLACE.
TO CONTINUE THROUGH WITH
COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHICH IS
PROBABLY THE SMARTEST
EDUCATIONAL CHOICE ANY
CALIFORNIAN CAN MAKE IS TO GO
TO CATCH A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FOR THEIR FIRST TWO YEARS. AND
DIED AND THAT DOESN'T CHANGE
PARTICULARLY NOW IN LIGHT OF
THE MOMENT THAT WERE IN. AND I
SPEAK NOT JUST AS A POLICYMAKER
BUT I SPEAK WITH SOMEONE WITH A
GREAT DEAL OF EXPERIENCE. WITH
ROAD BLOCKS TO GRADUATION. I AM
A GRADUATE OF CAL STATE
NORTHRIDGE. AND I NEEDED TO
TAKE REMEDIAL MATH. WHEN I GOT
TO CAL STATE NORTHRIDGE IT
WASN'T A SURPRISE. I GRADUATED
HIGH SCHOOL JUST FINE ON BUT-
WHEN I TOOK ALGEBRA TWO MY
TEACHER. WAS THE FOOTBALL COACH
AND THE P. E. TEACHER. AND HE
WAS A REALLY GOOD DRIVERS ED
TEACHER I HAD AN FOR DRIVER
SAID AS WELL. AND I IS THAT
DRIVERS ED EXAM. NO MY KIDS
MIGHT THINK I DIDN'T. BUT I DID
NOT GET PREPARED FOR COLLEGE
LEVEL MATH. SHOCKER AND THAT'S
A STORY THAT I THINK A LOT OF
STUDENTS HAVE. ANY EXPERIENCE I
THINK THAT THIS YES YOU LISTEN
TO L. L. U. S. T. I. I DIDN'T
GO TO LAUSD SCHOOL- BUT- THAT
STUDENTS AREN'T GETTING THE
PREPARATION THEY NEED IN HIGH
SCHOOL. AND SO NOW THE CSU IS
DEALING WITH THAT CHALLENGE
THEY DEALT WITH IT WHERE I HAD
TO. TAKE REMEDIAL MATH ANY
NUMBER OF TIMES BECAUSE I DID
DROP OUT A FEW TIMES I
ACTUALLY. DID NOT PASS IT THE
FIRST TIME I TOOK IT I FINALLY
TOOK COLLEGE LEVEL MATH THE
FALL OF MY SENIOR YEAR I PUT IT
OFF AND PUT IT OFF. I DID JUST
FINE. I DID JUST FINDING
BECAUSE OF HIM ACTUALLY ENJOYED
THE CLASS BUT- BUT THIS YES YOU
LISTEN TO THAT EXPERIENCE AND
SAID THIS ISN'T HELPING OUR
STUDENTS GRADUATE AND IN FACT
WE CAN TEACH ALL OF THEM- AT AT
A COLLEGE LEVEL WITHOUT MAKING
AND TAKE WHAT ESSENTIALLY WAS A
AN OBSTACLE COURSE FOR ME. I
WHERE I HAD TO SPEND MONEY ON
CLASSES THAT DID NOT GIVE ME
COLLEGE CREDIT. AND SLOWED DOWN
AND SLOW DOWN HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS PROBABLY OVER THE
YEARS OF STUDENTS. FROM
GRADUATING AND TIMELY MANNER.
SO I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS
DOING EVERYTHING THEY CAN. THE
SERVICE POPULATION. WILL
CALIFORNIA POPULATION BUT IF
YOU JUST LOOK AT THE DATA A
PARTICULARLY OF OUR-
UNDERSERVED POPULATIONS IN
CALIFORNIA THAT WE ARE DOING
AMAZING IN GETTING MINORITY
STUDENTS TO GRADUATE DEGREES
THAT COME OUT OF THE CSU- SO.
THEY'RE DOING THE THINGS THAT
WE'RE ASKING OF THEM AND
THEY'RE TRYING TO FIND WAYS TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE WORK
FOR. AND WE PEOPLE IN TIME AND
IN FACT THEY'RE DOING AS WE
HEARD ON THE CALL I DIDN'T EVEN
MEET WITH THEM ABOUT THIS I
JUST KNOW FROM PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE AND WHAT I'VE READ
THEY'RE DOING THE THINGS THAT
WE'RE ASKING THEM TO DO IN THIS
BILL. I DON'T MIND BELTS AND
SUSPENDERS- FOR GROUPS THAT WE
DON'T TRUST ON I KNOW THIS
YEAR'S HE'S WORKING REALLY HARD
ON THIS ISSUE AND- AND THAT'S
WHY TODAY AND REALLY SADLY YOU
KNOW I WRESTLED WITH THIS
OVERNIGHT I LISTEN TO. THE
TESTIMONY AND FOR SOME NOT ABLE
TO SUPPORT IT BUT I DO
APPRECIATE THE CONVERSATION
THAT WE'RE HAVING THE GOAL THAT
WERE HAVING AND- OF MAKING SURE
THAT THE DOORS TO HIGHER AT OUR
OPEN EVERYONE. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU ASSEMBLYMEMBER LEVINE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WEBER. YES I
WANT TO THANK. OUR CHAIR FOR
THIS BILL AND I'M ONE OF THE CO
OP IS ON THE BILL AND I
APPRECIATE THE COMMENTS OF MY
COLLEAGUE BECAUSE- IN MANY WAYS
THEY ARE CORRECT TO THE EXTENT
THAT THE UNIVERSITY HAS-
LISTENED EVENTUALLY TO THE
AUDIENCE TO THE PUBLIC AND
DECIDED TO GO IN THAT DIRECTION
AND THAT AND THAT'S IMPORTANT.
I GUESS THE PROBLEM COMES IN IS
THAT THE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
ENERGY THAT WAS EXPENDED AND
THE KIND OF ANXIETY CREATED AS
A RESULT OF THEM NOT HAVING THE
PROCESS AND NOT HAVING
INCLUSION OF THE PUBLIC-
COMMENTS AND RESEARCH IN
ADVANCE RATHER THAN AFTER THE
FACT YOU KNOW AFTER BEING
PRESSURE AND THE KIND OF
PUBLICITY AND ANXIETY THAT
STUDENTS AND- AND STAFFERS HAD
ABOUT THIS. WAS REALLY
UNNECESSARY WITH THEIR IT
ENGAGED IN THIS PROCESS OF THE
BEGINNING AND BASICALLY SOUGHT
OUT THE INFORMATION THAT WAS
NECESSARY THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE
TO DEAL WITH THIS WOULD HAVE
HAD HEARINGS ON IT HERE AT THE
CAPITOL WOULD HAVE GONE TO ALL
THESE THINGS IN THE HEARING TO
REALLY WILL BY WERE BOB PROCESS
AND WHETHER THAT THE RIGHT
QUESTIONS HAVE BEEN ASKED. AND
SO FORTH AND SO ON AND SO THIS
BILL IS REALLY ABOUT NOT
NECESSARILY CONDEMNING THE
WOULD MAKING SURE THAT IN THE
FUTURE IF THERE ARE CHANGES AND
SHIFTS AND REQUIREMENTS THERE'S
A PROCESS IN PLACE THAT DIDN'T
DOES THIS SO THE WE DON'T FIND
OURSELVES ONCE AGAIN HAVING
LISTENED TO IT ON THE NEWS
FIGURE OUT WHO DID WHAT SO
FORTH AND SO ON BUT BASICALLY
ADDRESSED THE ISSUE AS IT
SHOULD BE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY
CORRECT THE C. ISSUED TO THE
UC'S ARE WRESTLING WITH. ISSUE
OF ADMISSIONS AND
QUALIFICATIONS AND THE PROBLEM
LIES REALLY UNFORTUNATELY YEAH
IF THE WITH ALL OF THEM BECAUSE
I COULD SAY WELL TO KEEP TWELVE
ISSUE BECAUSE L. L. A. U. S. V.
COMES BACK AND SAYS WE CAN'T
OFFER THESE CLASSES WE DON'T
HAVE QUALIFIED STAFF. IF WE
HAVE NOT STUDENTS FOR THE
EDUCATED WHICH IS A FORTUNATE
THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE THAT-
AND SO AS A RESULT NO YEAH IT'S
OUR K. TWELVE BUT THE I BACK UP
AND ALWAYS SAY TO EVERYBODY WHO
TRAIN ALL THE TEACHERS IN
CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW AND
BASICALLY OVER 80% OF OUR
TEACHERS ARE MORE TRADE. BAR
SEE ISSUE AND USE STATE SO ARTS.
OF A- THAT OCCUR. BY UNIV. ARE
NOT ADDED. FOR OUR TEACHERS
WERE TEACHING MAP. AND SO FORTH
AND SO ON TO BASICALLY MEET THE
CHALLENGE SO. WE START POINTING
FINGERS AT ALL COMES BACK TO
ALL OF THAT. AND THEN IT COMES
BACK TO US BECAUSE WE HAVE NO
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM. AND HAVE
NOT DEALT WITH A HEART ISSUES
THE TEACHER CERTIFICATION. THE
TEACHER REQUIREMENT TEACHER AT
OF ASSESSMENT THAT NEEDS TO
HAPPEN AND THE EXPECTATIONS AND
HOLDING OUR OWN K. TWELVE
SYSTEM ACCOUNTABLE. SO EVERYONE
IS REALLY AT FAULT AT THIS
POINT AND THE LAST PERSON WHO
SHOULD PAY FOR. OTHER
STRUGGLING STUDENTS TO
ATTENDING OUR SCHOOLS. PUTTING
THEIR ENERGY INTO A THINKING
THAT WE'RE GIVING THEM THE BEST
THAT WE HAVE. AND WE'RE NOT AND
SO AS A RESULT THEY SHOULD BE
THE LAST ONES WHO BASICALLY
SUPPER. AND FIND THEMSELVES IN
A SITUATION OF HAVING TO GO TO
COMMUNITY COLLEGE. COMMUNITY
COLLEGE IS A GREAT THIS IS THE
BILL. BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
SUCCESS RATE KIDS OF COLOR IN
COMMUNITY COLLEGE. IT IS NOT
THE GREATEST PLACE FOR THEM
BECAUSE THE MOST OF THEM DON'T
GRADUATE FROM A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE- GIVE VERY FEW EIGHTY
DEGREES WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT.
MANY OF THEM DROP OUT COME BACK
DROP OUT AND COME BACK BECAUSE
OF THE STRUCTURE AND WHAT HAVE
YOU. AND SO WE'RE TRYING TO
IMPROVE OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
BUT IT IS NOT THE FOR MANY
STUDENTS GOING TO A FOUR YEAR
INSTITUTION EVEN IF THEY
STRUGGLE. BECAUSE EVERYONE
THERE IS TRYING TO GET A DEGREE
THE END OF WITH FORCES. AT THE
FOUR YEAR. THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SO WE HAVE A LOT OF
CHALLENGES THAT WE NEED TO
MEET. BUT THE LAST PERSON WHO
SHOULD BASICALLY PAY FOR OUR
STUDENTS WILL PUT THEIR BEST
INTO WHAT WE GAVE THEM. AND
THEN FIND THEMSELVES SHORT. SO
I'M BACK TO ASTRONOMICAL. TO
THIS PARTICULAR BILL. THANK YOU
ASSEMBLY MEMBER WEBER. ARE
THERE ANY OTHER. QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. THANK YOU AND MISTER
CHAIR TO HAVE CLOSING
STATEMENTS THANK YOU I THOUGHT
I'D LIKE TO THANK BOTH OF MY
COLLEAGUES WERE THERE- COMMENTS
AND DISCUSSION ON THIS BILL.
AND. TO THE- MY COLLEAGUES WHO
STRUGGLE WITH HIGH SCHOOL MATH.
I NEVER MADE IT TO THIRD YOUR
MATH IN HIGH SCHOOL. BECAUSE I
HAD SUCH A HARD TIME WITH WITH
THE SECOND YEAR OF YOUR
GEOMETRY. THE SECOND YEAR OF
HIGH SCHOOL MATH. TO THE
CHAGRIN OF MY FATHER THE CIVIL
ENGINEER. BUT I IT WAS
SUCCESSFUL IN COLLEGE- GOING TO
PREVIEW UNIVERSITY WHERE I
MAJORED FIRST AND POLITICAL
SCIENCE AND THEN IN HISTORY
WHEN I TRANSFERRED TO YOU SEE
YOU ARE. AND I WANT TO THANK
DOCTOR WEBER IN HER REMARKS
BECAUSE I THINK THE NECESSARY
CITY OF THIS BILL. IS THAT THE
CSU DID NOT ENGAGE THE CSU DID
NOT ENGAGE. EITHER WITH THE
LEGISLATURE. AND TELL THEY
REALLY HAD TO OR WITH THE K.
TELL K. TWELVE SYSTEM WITH THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION NOR WITH- K. TWELVE
DISTRICTS THEMSELVES. SO THE
PURPOSE OF THIS BILL I THINK
IT'S DOCTOR WEBER WELL POINTED
OUT IS TO ENSURE THAT THE NEXT
TIME. THE CSU- CONSIDERS
CHANGING THE A THROUGH G.
REQUIREMENTS IT WILL ENGAGE
WITH THOSE WHO WILL HAVE TO-
THERE- THE CHANGES AND THOSE
ARE THE K. TWELVE AND- AND THE
STUDENTS SO I RESPECTFULLY ASK
