ENOUGH MISTER CHAIR BOB THIS
BILL ESTABLISHES A WORKGROUP OF
HIGHER EDUCATION REPRESENTATIVES
FACULTY STAFF AND STUDENTS TO
DEVELOP A PROGRAM TO PROVIDE
FREE COLLEGE TO CALIFORNIA
RESIDENTS. SPECIFICALLY THAT'S
WHAT EIGHTY TO NINETY FIVE FREE
COLLEGE DOES IN CARRYING OUT
THEIR WORK THIS WORKGROUP CAN
FOCUS ON DETERMINING WHICH
CAMPUSES WOULD BEST FIT TO
DEVELOP. PROGRAM MODEL
IDENTIFYING IF THERE IS ANY
PARTICULAR STUDENTS THAT WOULD
BENEFIT FROM THE PROGRAM AND
CREATE A MODEL THAT WILL WORK IN
TANDEM WITH THE EXISTING
FINANCIAL PROGRAMS SUCH AS CAL
GRANT. HISTORY OF COST
ATTENDANCE OVER FORTY FIVE YEARS
HIGHER EDUCATION CALIFORNIA'S
WAS PERCEIVED AS A PUBLIC GOOD.
STUDENTS WERE NOT CHARGE TUITION
BECAUSE THE STATE SOUGHT TO
ENSURE THAT THERE WERE AS FEW
BARRIERS AS POSSIBLE TO A MORE
EDUCATED CALIFORNIANS SOCIETY.
THE STATE HAS MOVED IN AN
ENTIRELY DIFFERENT DIRECTION
CONSIDERING CSU TUITION AND FEES
HAVE RISEN ONE THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED AND 60% AND YOU SEE
TUITION AND FEES HAVE RISEN FIVE
HUNDRED AND 55% SINCE NINETEEN
SEVENTY NINE. ADDITIONALLY COST
OF ATTENDANCE SUCH AS FOOD
HOUSING HAVE RISEN 40% SINCE
NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE. FURTHER
ADDING TO THE ADDITIONAL STRESS
ON TO PENINSULA STRESSED OF
STUDENTS. DURING MY FIRST YEAR
AS AN UNDERGRADUATE IN THE
SEVENTIES ALONG WITH MR MEDINA.
TUITION IN THE UC SYSTEM WITH
ABOUT TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED
AND SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS PER
YEAR. THIS GENERAL GENERATION
SHOULD NOT BE REQUIRED TO PAY
NINETEEN TIMES MORE THAN WHAT I
PAID BEEN MY PUBLIC SECTOR
COUNTERPART WAS REQUIRED TO PAY
FOR COMPARABLE EDUCATION. I WENT
TO UNIVERSITY SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA DURING THE SEVENTIES
WE PAY THIRTY TWO THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER YEAR WHICH WAS A
HUNDRED FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND
DOLLARS- COMMITMENT OVER FOUR
YEAR- DURING THAT SAME TIME IN
THE SEVENTIES AGAIN. IT WAS TWO
THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY SIX DOLLARS PER YEAR NOW
BERKELEY IS ABOUT FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS IN TWENTY TWENTY AND USC
IS IT SIXTY THOUSAND UC'S DOUBLE
BEARS. AND OBVIOUSLY THE UC
SYSTEM IS WAY UP TO A HUNDRED
SIXTY THOUSAND A YEAR AND TWO
OVER FOUR YEARS AND TWO AND
FORTY THOUSAND. FOR USC. PRESENT
DAY INSPIRED A PAST INVESTMENTS
EXISTING FINANCIAL AID DOES NOT
COVER ALL STUDENTS. AND MANY
REMAIN UNABLE TO AFFORD
ATTENDANCE AT THE STATE'S PUBLIC
UNIVERSITIES. AS THE CSU AND UC
SYSTEM HAVE CONTINUED FOR
PROSPER PROBE PROPOSED TUITION
AND FEE INCREASES AND ACOSTA
BASIC NEEDS IN THIS STATE HAVE
RISEN EXPONENTIALLY THE STATE
MUST CONTINUE INVESTING IN
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR
STUDENTS. AS A FURTHER EXAMPLE
IN RECENT YEARS A CSU STUDENT
WITH LOW INCOME WOULD HAVE TO
WORK TWENTY TO FIFTY FIVE HOURS
A WEEK THE COVERAGE NET COSTS OF
THEIR EDUCATION. COLLEGE
STUDENTS OFTEN HAVE TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN STUDYING OR WORKING TO
AFFORD THEIR TUITION AND LIVING
EXPENSES. CALIFORNIA SHOULD BE
IN THE BUSINESS OF STUDENT
SUCCESS AND NOT STUDENT STRESS
EXPANDING ACCESS TO. HIGHER
EDUCATION IS MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL
THE INVESTMENT FOR CALIFORNIA
FOR EXAMPLE THE BATCHES DEGREE.
INCREASES A PERSON'S EARNING
POTENTIAL BY 65% ACCORDING TO
THE U. S. BUREAU OF STATISTICS.
RICK INCREASES THE OVERALL TAX
CONTRIBUTION TO THE STATE. A IN
THE LONG TERM FINANCIAL
STABILITY FOR ALL. I APPRECIATE
QUESTIONS RAISED IN THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS AS WE MOVE
FORWARD HOPEFULLY WE MOVE
FORWARD I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH ALL PARTIES I WILL HAVE
DISCUSSIONS UNDER RELEVANT
ESPECIALLY THE TOP TEN
RECOMMENDATIONS AND ENQUIRES
THEY WERE BROUGHT UP BY THIS
COMMITTEE AND I WANNA THANK THEM

COLLEGE. NOT ONLY ARE THESE
STUDENTS FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO
AFFORD TUITION FEES AND
TEXTBOOKS BUT A LARGE PERCENTAGE
ALSO REPORT THAT THEY STRUGGLE
WITH FOOD INSECURITY AND
HOMELESSNESS. CFA BELIEVES THAT

AWFUL OF THE- OPPORTUNITY FOR
STUDENTS- TO EARN THEIR
BACHELOR'S DEGREE OF- WITH- NO
COST. BUT AS YOU KNOW THE MONEY
HAS TO COME FROM SOME SOMEWHERE
. I WAS WONDERING- FOR STUDENTS
TO BENEFIT FROM THIS OF FREE
TUITION FOR THEIR- A POST
SECONDARY EDUCATION. LISTENING
TO YOUR PROPOSAL- THINKING. IF
WE CAN. COME UP WITH A SOME-
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS
LIKE- WEST POINT- OR MILITARY
ACADEMIES. WELL AS FAR AS I KNOW
THE L. OR TUITION FREE AND-
REMOVED EVERYTHING PROVIDED. BUT
UPON GRADUATION THEY ARE
REQUIRED TO SERVE. THE COUNTRY.
FIVE TO SEVEN SOMETHING YEARS.
SO SIMILAR TO THAT. NOT JUST-
OFFERING FREE TUITION- NUMBER
RETURNED TO THE SOCIETY. I'M
GONNA EDUCATE YOU ORGANIZE- FOR
OUR CITIZENS WE ARE PAYING FOR
YOUR TUITION. AND THE SECONDARY
AND OPPORTUNITY MIGHT BE. I
KNOW- BUT TYPICALLY- RECENTLY.
WE HAVE A COME UP WITH US SO
MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF CLUSTER
AND AIDS PROGRAMS. INCLUDING NOT
FEDERAL BRAND CYSTIC GRANTS
SCHOLARSHIPS AS SUCH. STOP MERIT
BASED SCHOLARSHIP OPPORTUNITIES
FOR THEM TO- WHAT CAR. RATHER
THAN OPENING FOR ANYBODY COME. I
MEAN WE ARE LIVING IN THE-
DEMOCRATIC CAPITALISTIC SOCIETY
WHERE- WE ONLY NEED TO COMPETE
AND WHAT CAR. WHEN YOU MAKE IT
THAT JUST TO OPEN. THIS SOUNDS
LIKE A PROVIDE PROVIDING
INCENTIVES ABOUT THE- IT COULD
BE UP RIVERSIDE. INCENTIVES NO I
CAN WALK INTO THE COLLEGES ANY
TIME I WANT THIS OPEN AND FREE
AN UNKNOWN KNOWING CENTERS. SO I
HAVE DONALD FOR THE TAX MONEY
THAT THE WE WILL BE EDUCATING
THEM THERE HAS TO BE SOME-
INCENTIVES AND THE MOST-
QUALIFICATIONS THEIR COMMITMENT
WHAT THEY WILL DO FOR THE
SOCIETY HAVE YOU THOUGHT ABOUT.
BOB AND THANK YOU DOCTOR CHOI
OF. THE EVEN GOT THIS IT'S IN IN
NINETEEN SIXTY THEN GOVERNOR
BROWN- DECIDED THAT IT WOULD
MAKE ALL. COLLEGE FREE BUT I
DON'T THINK HE UNDERSTOOD THE
ULTIMATE IMPACT ON THE ECONOMY
WITHIN FROM NINETEEN SIXTY TO
SEVENTY NINE- PEOPLE CONSIDER US
THE BEST EDUCATED WORK FORCE IN
THE WORLD. COMPANIES CAME TO
CALIFORNIA AND WE FLOURISHED THE
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT CAME INTO
THE STATE BASED ON A WELL
EDUCATED- CALIFORNIANS
BENEFITTED US FINANCIALLY AND
HELP TO. BE ABLE TO PAY FOR IT A
LOT OF THIS AND SO THAT'S WHERE
THIS KIND OF IDEA CAME FROM THAT
IF WE GO AHEAD AND BETTER
EDUCATE EVERYONE. IN ADDITION- I
PUT THROUGH A BILL- BEFORE AND I
THINK MAYBE BEFORE YOU GOT HERE
CALL PAID FOR IT WHERE YOU WOULD
GO AHEAD. AND GET YOUR DEGREE
BUT THEN LIKE WE COME FROM AN
INSTITUTION WHERE PEOPLE MAKE
CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION OTHERS AND WE COME
FROM AN INSTITUTION WHERE THEY
RAISED BILLIONS OF BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS FOR A RELATIVELY SMALL
GROUP. OF ALUMNI AND GRADUATE WE
WOULD THEN NOT TAX BILL WOULD
LOOK AT THE BENEFIT SOMEONE NOT
MAKING MINIMUM WAGE BUT THE NOW
MAKING- WELL OVER MINIMUM WAGE
NOW BECAUSE THEY NOW HAVE A
DEGREE. LOOK AT THE DELTA IN
WHAT THEY PAYING IN TAXES AND
THE INCREASE OVER THAT AND THEN
MAYBE USE THOSE FUNDS TO DO THAT
AND SO WHAT THIS COMMITTEE WOULD
DO WE LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE.
INCLUDING LOOKING AT PROVIDING
MORE DOCTORS. COULD COME AND
WORK IN MINORITY AREAS LIKE
MINUS LA PROVIDING MORE SOCIAL
WORKERS TO GO OUT AND DEAL WITH
THEM THE HOMELESS SITUATION OUT
THERE SO WE BILL THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE. MAY NOT ONLY THE
- WE'VE BEEN WITH RAY THEIR I
CAN DATA BECAUSE A WORKING
SERVICE ANOTHER PLACE. THAT
WOULD BE- THAT WOULD HELP. IN
THE LONG RUN SO I NEVER THOUGHT
ABOUT THEM THE MILITARY EXAMPLE
YOU GAVE IN- THAT IS SOMETHING
WILL DEFINITELY ON TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION. THANK YOU VOICE
PLANNING I'M NOT DISPUTING. A
THE VALUE OF- EDUCATION
OBVIOUSLY EDUCATED PERSON IS A
MORE PRODUCTIVE AND OR
CONTRIBUTE TO MORE. BUT THE WHEN
YOU PROVIDE FREE TUITION. A MAN
IN THE COMMUNIST COUNTRY
WHATEVER YOU KNOW BUT THE
SOMEBODY HAS TO PAY FOR THAT SO-
I THOUGHT THOUGH IT WOULD BE
MORE INCENTIVIZING AND THE
TAXPAYERS SO- RESISTANCE OR
DATED LAST SO WHEN WE EXPECT
THEM TO RETURN SOMETHING. AND
ALL HIGH A BAR THE CONCEPT OF
FROM THE MILITARY ACADEMY STUFF
THAT THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO
SERVE THE COUNTRY- UPON
EDUCATION UPON COMPLETION OF THE
PROGRAM SAID SO- THAT WAS
SOMEONE IDEA BUT I'M I'M TALKING
ABOUT THE- BECAUSE OF THIS WILL
BE AN ADULT TAX BURDEN FOR. ALL
OUR CITIZENS SO WHO ARE NOT.
NECESSARILY BENEFITING FROM THAT
. NO THE THIRD OF THE FAT OF WHO
WILL BE TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS
KIND OF. SO YEAH THAT'S OF
THAT'S SYSTEM THANK YOU
OPPENHEIMER A COUPLE BUT- WHAT
ABOUT THE- WELL ROUGHLY OUT GAS
AND THAN. FIFTY PER OPPOSITE SO
. ON NOT GOING TO TAKE A- OF THE
SO WHAT TO BAY. THE BURDEN OFF
WILL PAY MORE TO. GEN CONCERT

SECOND THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR A
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AB ELEVEN
EIGHTY SEVEN WILL INCREASE
ACCESS TO SUPERVISE TUTORING AT
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES BY AUTHORIZING COLLEGES
TO CLAIM FORTUNATE FOR STUDENTS
RECEIVING ASSISTANCE AND
CREDENTIAL OR DEGREE APPLICABLES
AND TRANSFER LEVEL COURSES
CURRENT LAW ALLOWS COLLEGES TO
CLAIM A PORTION FOR UNSUPERVISED
TUTORING ONLY IN REMEDIAL SKILLS
COURSES NOT FOR CREDIT BEARING
TRANSFER LEVEL COURSES THIS
FUNDING IS CRUCIAL TO ASSIST
STUDENTS SICK FOR TWO REASONS
ONE WE'VE EXPERIENCED A GREAT
DEAL OF LEARNING LOTS DURING THE
COUNT THAT MAKE AND STUDENTS
WILL NEED ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.
AND SECONDLY- MY BILL ABA SEVEN
OH FIVE WHICH WHICH REFORM FOR
MEDIAL EDUCATION PLACES MOST
STUDENTS DIRECTLY AND TRANSFER
LEVEL CLASSES AND IT IS CRUCIAL
THAT THEY HAVE THE TOOL OF
REMEDIAL EDUCATION AVAILABLE TO
THEM AND IT DOES NOT- REPLACE
OTHER FORMS OF CO REQUISITE FOR
CONCURRENT SUPPORTS WITH ME
TODAY HERE IN SUPPORT IS DAVID
O'BRIEN VICE CHANCELLOR FOR
EXTERNAL RELATIONS AT CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE AND BOUGHT DONALD ON
BEHALF OF A NUMBER OF COMMUNITY
COLLEGE. DISTRICTS YOU CAN GO
FORWARD. THANK YOU GOOD
AFTERNOON- CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE I'M DAVID O'BRIEN VICE
CHANCELLOR FOR GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS FOR THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WE'RE PLEASED
TO BE HERE TODAY TESTIFIED IN
SUPPORT OF AB ELEVEN EIGHTY
SEVEN NOW KEEP MY TESTIMONY
FAIRLY BRIEF BECAUSE
ASSEMBLYMEMBER IRWIN ACTUALLY I
HAD A LOT OF THE IMPORTANT
POINTS BUT IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN
THIS LEGISLATURE DID TAKE
HISTORIC ACTION TO ELIMINATE
LONGSTANDING INEQUITIES IN
ACCESS TO. TRANSFER LEVEL
ENGLISH AND MATH BY ADOPTING A
B. SEVEN OH FIVE THANKS TO THE
LEADERSHIP OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER
IRWIN AND AS COLLEGES HAVE
IMPLEMENTED AB SEVEN OH FIVE AND
LOWER THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS
ENROLLED IN THOSE PRE TRANSFER
LEVEL FORMALLY KNOWN AS REMEDIAL
COURSES THERE'S BEEN A DECREASE
IN THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS
ENROLLED. IN SUPERVISED TUTORING
EVEN THOUGH IT'S A PROVEN
EFFECTIVE TOOL TO SUPPORT
ECONOMIC SUCCESS- A STUDY
CONDUCTED BY THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE ACTUALLY FOUND THAT THE
COURSE SUCCESS RATE FOR STUDENTS
WHO RECEIVE TUTORING IN BASIC
SKILLS ENGLISH AND MATH WAS ON
AVERAGE 8% HIGHER THAN STUDENTS
WHO DID NOT. AND AS THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBER REFERENCED CURRENT LAW
RESTRICTS APPORTIONMENT FUNDING
FOR THE SUPERVISED TUTORING-
COURSES AND THIS LIMITATION
ESSENTIALLY MEANS THE COLLEGES
DON'T HAVE THE FINANCIAL
RESOURCES TO EXPAND THIS
CRITICAL TOOL SO AB ELEVEN
EIGHTY SEVEN WOULD REMOVE THIS
RESTRICTION REMOVE SOME OF THE
CONFUSION A CURRENT LAW THAT
YOUR- EXCELLENT STAFF ANALYSIS
REFERENCES. AND RESULT IN HIGHER
STUDENT COURSE COMPLETION AND
SUCCESS RATES SO JUST WANT TO
SAY THAT IT'S CONSISTENT WITH
THE PARADIGM THAT EIGHTY SEVEN
OH FIVE ESTABLISHES RECEIVE THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER OR STAFF AND
THIS COMMITTEE STAFF AND. HAVE
AN ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK
YOU. THANK YOU TO MEMBERS MARTIN
MGI OUT. I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF
THE- INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY
COLLEGE DISTRICTS LISTED. IN

THANK THE AUTHOR OF THIS BILL-
FOR CONTINUING TO PUSH ON THIS
ISSUE I HAVE A BRIEF STATEMENT
FROM CASEY GARDNER. WHO'S VICE
PRESIDENT OF INSTRUCTION FOR
WOODLAND COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND
HE WASN'T ABLE TO BE HERE AT A
BANK MAKE IT BRIEF. BUT IT
WOODLAND STUDENTS TO USE
TUTORING AVERAGE AN ENTIRE
LETTER GRADE HIGHER. AND HAVE A
GREATER CHANCE OF PASSING THEIR
COURSES. IN ADDITION TO SUCCESS
TUTORING IS AN EQUITY FOCUSED
PRACTICE. 77% OF OUR TUTORING
STUDENTS ARE IDENTIFIED AS FIRST
GENERATION. 81% AS LOW INCOME.
AND 83% FROM DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTED RACIAL AND ETHNIC
GROUPS- CURRENTLY COLLEGES CAN
ONLY GENERATE TUTORING. FOR
BASIC SKILLS COURSES WHICH GOES
AGAINST WHAT SEVEN A. B. SEVEN
OH FIVE WAS TRYING TO DO.
BRIEFLY THIS BILL WOULD INCLUDE
DEGREE OF POLITICAL APPLICABLE
ENTRANCE FOUR COURSES AS
ELIGIBLE FOR APPORTIONMENT
ACCOMPLISHING THREE THINGS
COLLEGES WOULD BE PROVIDED WITH
A RELIABLE FINANCIAL INCENTIVE
TO PROVIDE THE SCIENTIFIC
SERVICE. COLLEGES WOULD BE A BIT
ABLE ABLE TO BETTER SUPPORT
STUDENT SUCCESS AND ALL COURSES
ESPECIALLY TRANSFER LEVEL MATH
AND ENGLISH AND COLLEGES WOULD
BETTER AND BETTER COURSES
SUCCESS RATES LEAD TO SHORTER
COMPLETION TIMES FOR STUDENTS
SAY TAXPAYERS THE COST OF COURSE
COMPLETION. URGE YOUR SUPPORT

MANY CALIFORNIANS AS YOU KNOW
THE AMERICAN CALIFORNIA THE HOME
OF IMMIGRANTS AT HOME OF. PEOPLE
COMING TO OUR COUNTRY ENGLISH
LITERACY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS-
IT'S TRUE EVEN FOR HIGHLY
EDUCATED IMMIGRANTS WHO OFTEN
ARE FORCED TO WORK LOW WAGE JOBS

THEIR- LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE
ENGLISH LANGUAGE- THESE
INDIVIDUALS ARE ALL CURRENTLY IN
COMMUNITY COLLEGE ESL PROGRAMS
AND CREDIT AND NONCREDIT. BUT
FOR THE RECENT ARRIVALS THEY PAY
NON TUITION FOR THE CREDIT

THE LAW SCHOOLS LEGISLATIVE AND
PUBLIC POLICY CLINIC AND WITHIN
THE FRAMEWORK OF THE CLINIQUE MY
COLLEAGUE AND I CAME OUT WITH
THIS BILL IDEA AND ARE VERY
THANKFUL TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MCCARTY WHO AGREE TO CARE IT.
WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS BILL
WITH MISTER MCCARTY'S OFFICE
SINCE AUGUST. I AM ARMENIAN AND
CAME TO THE UNITED STATES FIVE
AND A HALF YEARS AGO WITH MY
PARENTS. WHEN MY FAMILY FIRST
ARRIVED IN THE UNITED STATES WE
IMMEDIATELY REALIZED DAD BEING
PROFICIENT IN ENGLISH WOULD BE
ESSENTIAL FOR US TO SUPPORT
OURSELVES AND HAVE TO LIVE WE
CAME TO AMERICA TO PURSUE. EVERY
SINGLE IMMIGRANT WHO COMES TO
THE UNITED STATES WITHOUT THE
KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH.
UNDERSTANDS THE CHALLENGES OF
LEARNING ENGLISH WHILE
SUPPORTING THEMSELVES AND THEIR
FAMILIES. THE ONE YEAR RESIDENCY
REQUIREMENT FOR INSTITUTION
PLACES A GREAT BURDEN ON
IMMIGRANTS UPON ENTERING THE
UNITED STATES DO NOT HAVE THE
FINANCIAL RESOURCES. TO
ENROLLING ASL CLASSES MPD
NONRESIDENT TUITION TO
NONRESIDENT TUITION IS
APPROXIMATELY FIVE TIMES HIGHER
THAN THE IN STATE TUITION. MY
MOM WAS A HIGH SCHOOL TEACHER
FOR FIFTEEN YEARS IN ARMENIA AND
WEBER FIRST ARRIVED IN
CALIFORNIA SHE COULD NOT AFFORD
TO PAY THE NONRESIDENT TUITION
AND ENROLL IN ACCREDITED ESL
COURSES SHE NEEDED TO HELP TO
GET HER ASSOCIATES DEGREE IN
EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND
FULFILL HER DREAM OF RUNNING A
FAMILY DAY CARE. LUCKILY SHE'S
NOW RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL FAMILY
DAY CARE BUT SHE COULD HAVE HAD
IT EARLIER I'M NOT SACRIFICE
