SEVENTEEN OH FIVE FILE ITEM WITH. WELCOME MR WITH. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. EIGHTY SEVEN
OH FIVE HAS USHERED IN A NEW ERA
OF ACCESS AND COMPLETION OF
ENTRY LEVEL ENGLISH AND MATH
COURSES AT CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WITH TENS OF THOUSANDS
MORE STUDENTS NOW SUCCESSFULLY
COMPLETING TRANSFER LEVEL
CLASSES. IN FALL TWENTY FIFTEEN
MORE THAN A HUNDRED AND TWENTY
ONE THOUSAND STUDENTS WHO
ENROLLED IN MATH DIDN'T COMPLETE
THE TRANSFER LEVEL REQUIREMENT
WITHIN THE ONE YEAR TIME FRAME
AND THAT NUMBER WAS STILL OVER A
HUNDRED THOUSAND STUDENTS NOT
COMPLETING A TWO YEAR TIME
FRAME. THESE THROUGHPUT RATES
WERE CONSISTENTLY LESS THAN 30%
IN FALL OF TWENTY NINETEEN AFTER
AB SEVEN OH FIVE NEARLY SEVENTY
THREE THOUSAND OUT OF A HUNDRED
AND FORTY SIX THOUSAND STUDENTS
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED TRANSFER
LEVEL MATH WITHIN ONE YEAR WHICH
GIVES A THROUGHPUT RATE OF 50% I
WANT TO TAKE A MOMENT TO
RECOGNIZE THAT THESE ARE
EXTREMELY PROMISING IMPROVEMENTS
AND THEY WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN
POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE TIRELESS
WORK OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FACULTY. COUNSELORS
ADMINISTRATORS AND SUPPORT STAFF
ACROSS THE STATE. THIS MAJOR
CHANGE WAS NOT EASY. AND I HAVE
ENGAGED N GOOD FAITH
DISCUSSIONS WITH FACULTY AND
CAMPUS LEADERS TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND HOW THE SPIRIT OF
SEVEN OH FIVE WAS BEING
IMPLEMENTED. AS WELL AS SOME OF
WHAT SOME OF THE OBSTACLES AND
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES WERE. A.
B. SEVEN OH FIVE REPRESENTS MY
ATTEMPT TO INCORPORATE FEEDBACK
FROM A DIVERSE SET OF
STAKEHOLDERS INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO FACULTY MEMBERS
STUDENTS. MATHIS CIVIL RIGHTS
ADVOCATES WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
PRACTITIONERS AND MOST CRUCIALLY
CHANCELLOR OAKLEY AND THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE WHICH ALSO
DESERVE RECOGNITION FOR THEIR
STEADFAST COMMITMENT TO STUDENT
SUCCESS. THIS BILL MAKES SEVERAL
SEVERAL IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS
TO THE ORIGINAL AB SEVEN OH FIVE
STATUTE. FIRST AND FOREMOST IN
THE UNIVERSE OF THOSE WHO THE
TRANSFER LEVEL REQUIREMENTS
APPLY TO. SO AB SEVENTEEN OH
FIVE EXPLICITLY EXEMPTS PROGRAMS
THAT DO NOT HAVE MATH OR ENGLISH
REQUIREMENTS AS EIGHTY SEVEN OH
FIVE WAS NEVER INTENDED TO
CREATE NEW REQUIREMENTS WERE
NINE EXISTED. IT EXAM STUDENTS
AND ADULT EDUCATION PROGRAM HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS IN DUAL
ENROLLMENT PROGRAMS AND STUDENTS
AND TECHNICAL CERTIFICATE OR
DEGREE PROGRAMS WHERE THERE IS
FIRST THAT WERE THERE ARE
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE
NOT MET BY INAPPROPRIATE
TRANSFER LEVEL COURSE AND THIS
IS ESPECIALLY CRUCIAL FOR OUR C.
T. E. PASSED- PATHWAYS. THESE
CHANGES ARE IMPORTANT BECAUSE
THEY MAKE IT VERY CLEAR THAT
DESPITE WHAT THE OPPONENTS HAVE
CLAIMED THE COLLEGES STILL OFF-
ARE ALLOWED TO OFFER AND GUIDE
STUDENTS INTO PRE TRANSFER LEVEL
COURSE WORK WHERE IT IS
APPROPRIATE. THERE IS ABSOLUTELY
A ROLE FOR COLLEGE LEVEL COURSES
BUT THEY NEED TO BE RELEVANT TO
A STUDENT'S GOAL OR CAREER PATH
IN FACT OUR EFFORTS TO RESPOND
TO GOOD FAITH CRITIQUES IS WIDE
NINETY THREE FACULTY
ADMINISTRATORS AND OTHER
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STAFF SIGNED A
LETTER OF SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL
. RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT THE
IMPLEMENTATION WAS ON EVEN
ACROSS THE STATE MEANING ACT
ACCESS TO TRANSFER LEVEL COURSES
AND SUPPORTS DEPENDS ON WHERE
YOU LIVE. CONVERSATIONS WITH
STUDENTS WHO WERE MY
CONSTITUENTS HAVE CONFIRMED. AS
THEY'VE SHARED STORIES OF
FACULTY AND COUNSELORS STRONGLY
RECOMMENDING REMEDIAL AND BELOW
TRANSFER LEVEL COURSEWORK. EVEN
WORTH THEY FEEL IT'S NOT
NECESSARY. IN FACT ONE COLLEGE
INCENTIVIZE STUDENTS TO TAKE
REMEDIAL COURSEWORK BY PROVIDING
PRIORITY REGISTRATION TO THOSE
WHO TAKE A PLACEMENT TEST THAT
CONSISTENTLY RECOMMEND STUDENTS
REPEAT. ALREADY COMPLETED
COURSES. ANOTHER STUDENT SHARED
HOW SHE CHOSE TO ADD A TEN NOT
THE CLOSEST COLLEGE OR THE
SECOND CLOSEST COLLEGE THAT WAS
A TO HER BUT INSTALL INSTEAD
ENROLLED IN THE THIRD CLOSEST
COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHICH WAS. AN
HOUR AWAY BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE
SHE FELT CONFIDENT. SHE WOULD BE
SUPPORTED IN TRANSFER LEVEL WORK
WITHOUT BEING PRESSURED INTO
ACCESS WORK THAT WOULD COST HER
TIME AND MEMBERS MONEY. WE HAVE
TO APPRECIATE THE POWER AND
INFLUENCE EDUCATORS AND
INSTITUTIONS HAVE ON STUDENTS
ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO ARE SUBJECT
TO IMPLICIT BIASES. AND STEREO
TYPE THREAT WE OWE IT TO OUR
STUDENTS TO HELP THEM CHOOSE THE
BEST CHOICE FOR THEIR INTENT
INTENDED GOAL. AND NOT INSIST ON
PRESENTING ALL POSSIBLE OPTIONS
AS EQUALLY LIKELY TO HELP THEM
SUCCEED. TODAY WITH ME TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL IS
DOCTOR ARE YOU SHALLOW VICE
CHANCELLOR FOR EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES AND SUPPORT AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE. AND SHE DIEGO A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE GRADUATE WITH
STUDENTS MAKING A CHANGE. THANK
YOU FOR JOINING ME. GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR MEDINA AND
MEMBERS OF THE ASSEMBLY HIGHER
EDUCATION COMMITTEE MY NAME IS
DR RICE HELLO AND I SERVE AS
VICE CHANCELLOR OF EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES AND SUPPORT FOR THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE. ON BEHALF
OF THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE I AM
PLEASED TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
AB SEVENTEEN OH FIVE I WOULD
ALSO LIKE TO EXTEND MY GRATITUDE
TO ASSEMBLY MEMBER IRWIN FOR HER
SUPPORT OF OUR COLLEGES FACULTY
AND STUDENTS. THE MORE THAN ONE
POINT EIGHT MILLION STUDENTS ARE
BY THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES HAVE NUMEROUS GOALS BUT
NO MATTER STUDENTS GOALS PLACING
STUDENTS IN THE RIGHT COURSES
WHEN THEY ENROLL IN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE HAS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ON THEIR ACADEMIC SUCCESS AND
THEIR FUTURE. PRIOR TO AB SEVEN
OH FIVE THE VAST MAJORITY OF
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS WERE PLACED IN REMEDIAL
COURSES FROM WHERE FROM WHICH
FEW SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITION TO
TRANSFER LEVEL ENGLISH AND MATH
COURSES. ATTRITION WAS HIGH
PARTICULARLY FOR AFRICAN
AMERICAN AND LATINO LATINO
STUDENTS THE PRIOR USE OF
STANDARDIZED TESTS FORCING
STUDENTS INTO LENGTHY REMEDIAL
COURSE SEQUENCES SIGNIFICANTLY
DELAYED STUDENTS ACADEMIC
PROGRESS AND FAR TOO OFTEN
COMPLETELY HALTED STUDENT
COMPLETION. AB SEVENTY FIVE
REFORM THOSE PRACTICES AND IS
PROVING TO BE ONE OF THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT EDUCATIONAL REFORMS
OF OUR TIME. DISMANTLING
STRUCTURAL BARRIERS THAT
PREVIOUSLY PREVENTED HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS FROM EVER
REACHING THEIR ACADEMIC GOALS.
THE TRADITIONAL PLACEMENT SYSTEM
AB SEVEN OH FIVE AND NOW AB
SEVENTEEN OH FIVE SEEK TO
REPLACE WAS A SYSTEM IN WHICH
STUDENTS HAD NO CHOICE. AND THE
CHOICE IS MADE FOR THEM WERE
COUNTERPRODUCTIVE TO THE SUCCESS
OF THOSE STUDENTS AND TO THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
THESE LAWS ARE LIBERATING
STUDENT CHOICE AND EXPANDING
STUDENTS OPPORTUNITIES. A. B.
SEVEN OH FIVE MADE IT POSSIBLE
FOR THOUSANDS MORE STUDENTS
ACCESS TRAINS LEVEL. AND
SIGNIFICANTLY MORE STUDENTS ARE
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THOSE
COURSES NO MATTER THEIR PRIOR
HIGH SCHOOL PERFORMANCE AND
ACROSS ALL STUDENT SUBGROUPS.
DESPITE THAT SENT US SUBSTANTIAL
PROGRESS AS ASSEMBLYMEMBER IRWIN
STATED IMPLEMENTATION OF AB
SEVEN OH FIVE REMAINS AN EVEN AN
EQUITY GAPS PROCESS FAR TOO MANY
COLLEGES ARE STILL OFFERING
SIGNIFICANT NUMBERS OF REMEDIAL
COURSES OR NOT ENOUGH TRANSFER
LEVEL COURSES WHICH INFLUENCES
STUDENTS OPTIONS AND THEIR
CHOICES. THEREFORE WE WELCOME
AND SUPPORT THE RECOMMENDATIONS
OF ASSEMBLYMEMBER IRWIN TO
CLARIFY AND STRENGTHEN A. B.
SEVEN OH FIVE S. THAT WILL HELP
EVEN MORE STUDENTS TO ACCESS
THESE ESSENTIAL TRANSFER LEVEL
COURSES. AS AN OPEN ACCESS
SYSTEM SUPPORTING 1100% OF ALL
CALIFORNIANS WE ARE COMMITTED TO
SUPPORTING ALL STUDENTS AND
ENSURING THEIR SUCCESS BY
PROVIDING THEM WITH THE SUPPORTS
THEY NEED WE STRONGLY BELIEVE AB
SEVENTEEN OH FIVE WILL HELP US
TO FULFILL THAT MISSION. THANK
YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MEDINA
AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS
JUDY AGO. AND IN THE TEN YEARS
SINCE I STARTED AT MOUNT SAN
ANTONIO COLLEGE I'VE GRADUATED
SUMMA **** LAUDE FROM UC SANTA
BARBARA. RECEIVE A HARVARD
FELLOWSHIP. BECOME A PP I SEE IN
TURN AND IN DOWN A CAL STATE
MASSIVE STUDENT AND PROGRAM
COORDINATOR FOR SOON TO MAKE A
CHANGE. NO SMACK WHICH IS A
BLACK IN LATIN ACCIDENT LED.
ORGANIZATION THIS IS ALL BECAUSE
I'D FACULTY LIKE RAINY WILSON
BELIEVE HIM CAPACITY MY
CAPABILITY FOR ANY LEAGUE
INSTITUTION EVER DID. AND IT
NEVER WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I
HAD EVER GONE SECOND MEDIATION
ARE LIKE MANY OF MY PEERS TO
DEAL FACULTY WHO DO NOT BELIEVE
WHAT THEY'RE CAPABLE OF. SADLY
THAT IS THE CASE FOR MANY
STUDENTS AND OUR CALIFORNIA
CALLED SYSTEM BUT NOT BEEN SO
LUCKY. AND THAT IS WHY I'M HERE
TO ADVOCATE FOR AB SEVENTEEN OH
FIVE AS A NECESSARY UPDATE TO AB
SEVEN OH FIVE. ACCORDING PEOPLE
I SEE EIGHTY SEVEN OH FIVE MORE
THAN DOUBLED NUMBER STUDENTS
PASSING TRANSFER OVER ENGLISH
AND MATH. IT IS VERY FIRST TERM
OF IMPLEMENTATION. UNFORTUNATELY
THIS RISING TIDE HAS NOT LIFTED
ALL BOATS EQUITABLY. AND
IMPLEMENTATION HAS VARIED
GREATLY ACROSS OUR GREAT STATE.
A TWO THOUSAND TWENTY ONE REPORT
FOR THE CALIFORNIA SOLUTION
PROJECT FOUND AT LEAST HALF OF
COLLEGES CONTINUE TO HAVE
POLICING PRACTICES THAT
DISPROPORTIONATELY HARMED AND
SET BACK BLACK AND LATINX
STUDENTS. THIS IS NOT BELIEVING
WHAT STUDENTS ARE CAPABLE OF.
AND THIS IS WHY WE NEED AB
SEVENTEEN OH FIVE. YOUR CLASSES
LOWER COMPLETION RATES FOR EVERY
GROUP RESEARCH SO FAR. AND YET
SOME OPPONENTS CLAIM THAT THESE
CLASSES ARE IMPORTANT CHOICES
THAT STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE. BASED
ON MY DIRECT WORK WITH SMACK I
CAN HARDLY SAY THAT STUDENTS
ONLY ONE CHOICES THAT ARE PROVEN
TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE ABLE
TO GET TO THEIR TRANSFER NAFTA
MICHAEL'S ON TIME AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE. AND THERE TYRA CONTI
HAVING TO FIGHT TO GET THAT DONE
. THE BEAUTY OF CALIFORNIA'S
HIGHER EDUCATION SYSTEM AND OPEN
ACCESS TO SOME OF THE CALIFORNIA
GOT COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM.
LIES ENTRANCE TUNES LIES ABOUT
BELIEVING WHAT THE PEOPLE OF
INVEST IN EXPANDING THAT
CAPACITY AND THE CAPABILITY.
WITH AB SEVENTEEN OH FIVE WE CAN
HELP MAKE SURE THAT THE NEXT
GENERATION HAS AN EVEN GREATER
CHANCE TO REALIZE THEIR DREAMS
THAN I DID A DECADE AGO. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THANK YOU. DO
WE HAVE A WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION. IF THE TWO WOULD
COME UP AND I THINK WE HAVE TO
MAKE ROOM FOR THEM. AT THE TABLE.
AGAIN TWO MINUTES EACH. THANK
YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER MEDINA AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON
HIGHER EDUCATION MY NAME IS
JENNY MAY VICE PRESIDENT OF THE
ACADEMIC SENATE FOR CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES I THANK YOU
FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
WITH YOU AND I TOO WAS A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRANSFER
STUDENT. THE S. TRIPLE C.
REPRESENTS A LOCAL ACADEMIC
SENATES OF A HUNDRED SIXTEEN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES REGARDING
AREAS OF CURRICULUM DEGREE AND
CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS AND
STUDENT SUCCESS WE ARE COMMITTED
TO CLOSING LONG STANDING
OPPORTUNITY AND ACHIEVEMENT GAPS
THAT CONTINUE TO PROCESS FOR
TRADITIONALLY UNDERREPRESENTED
STUDENTS WE APPRECIATE THE
INTEREST IN SUPPORT OF THIS
COMMITTEE TO ENSURE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS ARE IN PLACE THAT MEET
THE DIVERSE LEARNING AND SUPPORT
NEEDS OF THE STUDENTS WE SERVE.
OLD PLACEMENT PRACTICES WERE-
EVEN UNFAIR AND
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED
STUDENTS OF COLOR WE FULLY
SUPPORT ACCESS TO TRANSFER LEVEL
COURSEWORK AND THE GAINS ARE
COMMENDABLE THAT SAID ACCESS TO
ALL LEVELS OF COURSE WORK IS
ESSENTIAL AS OPPOSED TO A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL SOLUTION THAT
STUDENTS HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF
ACHIEVING THEIR GOALS. AS
DIRECTED BY THE DELEGATES THE A.
S. TRIPLE C. IS OPPOSING AB
SEVENTEEN OH FIVE AS THIS BILL
WOULD REQUIRE THAT ALL STUDENTS
WITH FEW EXCEPTIONS ARE PLACED
AN ENROLLED IN TRANSFER LEVEL
ENGLISH AND MATHEMATICS EVEN
WHEN THOSE COURSES ARE NOT
REQUIRED FOR THE STUDENTS
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
SPECIFICALLY THE DELEGATES ARE
REQUESTING TO MAINTAIN THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE MISSION AND TO
NOT DENY STUDENTS ACCESS TO A
PRE TRANSFER CORE THAT MEETS THE
STUDENT'S EDUCATION NEEDS OR
GOALS SUCH AS THOSE IN CAREER
AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS
OR FOR SKILL BUILDING. NEXT
SINCE THIS BILL WOULD ALSO
REQUIRE COLLEGES TO ENROLL
STUDENTS IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
ALL ENROLLMENT DATA IS INCLUDED
ON THE TRANSFER LEVEL GATEWAY
COMPLETION DASHBOARD WE THINK
WESLEY AND ASSEMBLY MEMBER- ONCE
OFFICE FOR OTHERS HOPE TO
CONTINUE TOGETHER IN SEARCH OF A
STUDENT CENTERED SOLUTION THAT
WILL CLOSE GROWING EQUITY GAPS
THANK YOU YOU. THANK YOU.
GERMANY NINE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
MY NAME IS DESIREE MONTENEGRO
I'M AN FAA SEE SEE SEE BOARD
MEMBER AND FACULTY AT CERRITOS
COLLEGE AT LONG BEACH CITY
COLLEGE AND IT BY A LITTLE BIT
OF A COLLEGE TODAY I AM GRATEFUL
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE AS
A WOMAN OF COLOR I HAVE
EXPERIENCED FIRST HAND THE
VICIOUS CYCLE OF REMEDIATION IN
ENGLISH AND IN MATH REMEDIATION
NOT ONLY SET ME BACK AT LEAST
TWO YEARS IT REDIRECTED ME- FROM
AWAY FROM A STEM CAREER
UNFORTUNATELY MANY STUDENTS OF
COLOR WOMEN AND NON BINARY
INDIVIDUALS ARE
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMPACTED. BY
REMEDIATION AS A RESULT STUDENTS
ARE DISCOURAGED OR CYCLED OUT OF
PURSUING HOMOGENEOUS CAREER
FIELDS LIKE THOSE IN STEM. OR
THEY JUST DROP OUT AND LUCKILY I
PERSISTED AND I FOUND A CAREER
THAT WAS EQUALLY PASSIONATE
ABOUT. BUT NOT ALL ARE SO LUCKY
. AB SEVEN OH FIVE WAS A MUCH
NEEDED CHANGE THAT HELP THE MANY
STUDENTS WHO HAD SIMILAR
EXPERIENCES JUST LIKE ME HOWEVER
AB SEVENTEEN OH FIVE IS FLAWED
IT'S A FLAWED BILL THAT WILL
HAVE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES FOR
OUR STUDENTS PASSED AS IS THIS
LAW WOULD CREATE A ONE SIZE FITS
ALL APPROACH TO OUR STUDENTS
THAT OVERLOOKS THEIR UNIQUE
ACADEMIC AND CAREER OBJECTIVES
IN DOING SO YOU MAY BE DOING THE
VERY THING THAT YOU ARE TRYING
TO PREVENT WITH THIS
LEGISLATION. FACC REQUESTED
AMENDMENTS FOCUSED ON SUPPORT
AND RESOURCES NEEDED FOR
STUDENTS TO BE SUCCESSFUL SUCH
AS SMALLER CLASSES A TEN TO ONE
RATIO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
SPECIFICALLY FOR PART TIME
FACULTY EMBEDDED FACULTY TUTORS
IN THE CLASSROOM AND UPDATED
CLASSROOMS TO SUPPORT ACTIVE
LEARNING UNFORTUNATELY THESE
AMENDMENTS WERE REJECTED WITHOUT
THESE CHANGES WE COULD BE
SETTING OUR FACULTY UP FOR
FAILURE ESPECIALLY THOSE ADJUNCT
FACULTY LIKE MYSELF. THAT ARE
NOT SUPPORTED BY OUR COLLEGES TO
TEACH A BROAD RANGE OF STUDENTS
. I WANT ALL MY STUDENTS TO BE
SUCCESSFUL BUT I NEED THE TOOLS
TO ENSURE THAT MY STUDENTS. CAN
HAVE THE SAME OPPORTUNITY THAT
I'VE BEEN ABLE TO FACILITATE FOR
MYSELF IF AB SEVENTEEN OH FIVE
IS PASSED AS IS THE RESULT WOULD
BE ANTITHETICAL TO THE HEART OF
THIS LEGISLATION. AND I WOULD.
ACTUALLY CREATE MORE BARRIERS
FOR STUDENTS TO PREPARE FOR
TRANSFER AND TO PURSUE CAREERS
EARN FAMILY SUSTAINING WAGES.
OPTIONS DEVELOP AGENCY AN AGENCY
IS WHAT PROPELLED MY RESILIENCE
AND MY ULTIMATE SUCCESS AS AN
ADJUNCT FACULTY TODAY. I AND MY
COLLEAGUES WILL CHAMPION OUR
STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE
OUTCOME. BUT YOU HAVE THE- TO
MAKE THE NECESSARY CHANGES TO
DATE TO THIS LOSS SO THAT YOU
CAN DO THE SAME. I IMPLORE YOU
TO CONSIDER THE FACTS. IN TWENTY
NINETEEN TO TWENTY TWENTY A
HUNDRED THOUSAND STUDENTS WHO
WERE PLACED DIRECTLY INTO
TRANSFER LEVER LEVEL MATH AND
ENGLISH CLASSES WERE
UNSUCCESSFUL AND EVEN MORE
DROPPED OUT. AB SEVENTEEN OH
FIVE DOES NOT PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
SUPPORT FOR THE STUDENTS AND
WOULD LIKELY ELIMINATE SAFETY
NETS OFFERING A WIDE RANGE OF
COURSES TO SERVE THE TOP ONE
HUNDRED PERCENT. OF STUDENTS IS
NOT A BAD THING NOT ALL STUDENTS
ARE TRANSFER STUDENTS AND AS
ADJUNCT FACULTY MEMBER I AM
ALWAYS ASKS TO DO MORE WITH
LESS. WRAP UP YOUR TIME IS UP

DIRECTION BUT I AM GOING TO

THE FLOOR. I'M IN HOPES THAT WE
CAN MAKE THIS BILL BETTER.
THANKS VERY MUCH ASSEMBLY MEMBER
I'D I'D- WE ALSO WANTED TO BE A
VERY EXPLICIT IN IN THE-
PROGRAMS THAT ARE EXEMPTED SO AT
AND IT WAS NEVER AS I READ
EARLIER WAS NEVER RECALL- MEANT
TO CREATE ADDITIONAL REQUIRE.
HUNTING PROGRAMS IN MULTI
DUCATION HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN
DUAL ENROLLMENT AS STUDENTS IN
TECHNICAL SIR TO A CERTIFICATE
OR DEGREE PROGRAMS SO ANY
PROGRAM WHERE IT IS THAT LEVEL
OF MATH IS NOT REQUIRED IS
ACCEPTED BUT WE WILL CONTINUE TO
WORK WITH YOU BECAUSE WE DO WANT
YOUR SUPPORT. IS THAT BECAUSE-
THE EX. REMEDIAL WHICH CAN TO
REALLY ELONGATES THE AMOUNT OF
TIME- ONE SPENDS IN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TWENTY FOUR THIS BILL
BEFORE STEP SEVEN OH FIVE PASSED
THE AVERAGE STUDENT SPENT SIX
YEARS IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
THAT'S A LOT OF STUDENTS THAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT A MOVING ON TO
FOUR YEAR PROGRAM ESPECIALLY FOR
STUDENTS THAT DON'T HAVE THE
MEANS THAT IS THAT TIME THEY
CANNOT AFFORD TEN INCOME COLLEGE
SO WE'RE JUST THAT THE NOT. THE
TO P. SYRUP TO BIG THAT THAT
SEVEN OH FIVE SIX BUT WE TO MAKE
SURE THAT EVERY STUDENT IN STATE
. WELL TO BENEFIT SEVEN OH FIVE
SO THESE ARE JUST A CLEAR-
WORKING WITH THE FACT WITH FACT
IN THE DIFFERENT- FACULTY GROUPS
TO MAKE SURE THAT WE GOT IT
RIGHT AND I'M NOT SURE IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO ADD ANYTHING.
AFTER YOU COVERED. DR JOY.
ASSEMBLY MEMBER ROLE IN I WHAT
DOES TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS
TOWARDS THIS ONE- AS A FORMER
UNIVERSITY AND THEN ALSO
COMMITTED COLLEGE OF FACULTY
MEMBER- I AM I GUESS IN THIS
CASE- A TWEENER. I UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU APPOINT THE SO THAT-
COLLEGES STUDENTS ARE SHOULD BE
GIVEN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO OF
FACED- ACTUALCLASSES- AND THE
BASED UPON THEIR ABILITY TO PASS
OFF A- AND- A MOVEON IN A SHORT
TIME AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE. AND
THAT THE- THE- OPPOSING- THE
ORGANIZATIONS- I DO SEE THE-
MANY COMMUNITY COLLEGES SET
THEMSELVES THE SENATE THE OR SO
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL. AND THEN
ON I THE NAY- COTTAGE PROFESSOR
WAS ATTENDING ME- DEPLORING. OF
ON. OF ENTER FRESH. AND THAT
THEY ARE SPENDING SO MUCH TIME
AND THE RESOURCES- TO REMEDY
THOSE OF STUDENTS. SO I THINK
THAT THIS A REMEDIAL CLASSES FOR
OR REGION ON THE DESIGNED TO
HELP THEM TO SUCCEED. BUT THE
OBVIOUS TO HAS BECOME THE AREA
IT TAKES TOO LONG TIME AND THE
SOME PEOPLE NEVER GET OUT OF IT
YEAH VERY LARGE PERCENTAGE OF
STUDENTS. THAT START TO LEVELS
BELOW REMEDIAL DROP OUT YOU ARE
ABSOLUTELY CORRECT AT THE SAME
TIME. AS YOU HEARD AWHILE AGO
FROM THE OPPOSITION- STATEMENTS-
THAT THE OVER A HUNDRED THOUSAND
STUDENTS OF FAITH IN THE ART OF
A REGULAR CLASS THAT TRANSFER
OVER GLASSES. SO WHAT IS THE
REAL ANSWER- WHEN I TALK TALK
KOREAN LANGUAGE AT THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES- OBVIOUSLY NO MATH NO
ENGLISH WASN'T NECESSARY AND
THEY HAVE TO LEARN. THE NEW
FOREIGN LANGUAGE IS ALL. I
WONDER WHAT BASED UPON THEIR
DECLARED- THE MAJOR OR WHAT
DIRECTION WHAT THAT THEY WOULD
LIKE TO SPECIALIZED SO WE CAN
MAKE A SOME CATEGORICAL
REQUIREMENT SO REMEDIAL MATH
ENGLISH MAY BE NECESSARY IF FOR
LAWYERS OR WHATEVER WE NEED TO
GOOD THINGS. NSIA THEY ARE
TECHNOLOGY TO OVER NEED THE AT
MATH KIA. OF OH OH I'M SORRY
YEAH. SO YOU YOU CAN SEE IS MAY
SO- IN REALLY NEED A GOOD SHOP-
NOVARRO AND I'M K. OR US REAL OF
WARREN AND NOT READ. SO YOU WITH
ABOUT THAT THAT DIRECTION HOW
YOU CAN. BASED UPON. WHICH DOES
DOES WERE ABSOLUTE- WE AT ALL
THOSE- AT. THAT DIDN'T THAT THAT
- LEVEL ESPECIALLY THE TWO YOUR
REYES AND- ALL. SAY WHAT OKAY
PROBABLY A TWO THIRDS OF THE OFF
. A MAN. AND PUT HIM INTO THE
STATISTIC THAT YOU STATED THE
NUMBER OF. THAT ARE-FEELING IS
TAKEN OF CONTEXT YOU HAVE TO
REMEMBER THAT THERE WERE MANY
MANY MANY MORE STUDENTS THAT
THAT. THAT DIDN'T MEDIA TO IT IN
ANSWERABLE US THE WAY YOU LOOK
AT THE P. NUMBER OF STUDENTS
THAT NOW PAY OUT OF PLAN. IT ASK
. WE THOSE WOULD HAVE YES PLEASE
PLACE IN OUR MEDIA AND THIS IS
NOT A THIS IS NOT WITHOUT HELLO
WHEN SEVEN OH PATH PACK WEEK
SAID THE COULD BE KALRA. SO
ADDITIONAL UNIT CLASSES TAKEN AT
THE SAME TIME THAT HELPED
ENHANCE THE LEARNING IN THOSE
TRANSFER LEVEL CLASSES WE HAVE
MONEY FOR TUTORING SO STUDENTS
CAN GET AT THE SAME TIME WHAT WE
DON'T SO THEY COULD TAKE THE
TUTORING AND HELP THEM- THAT
HELP- THE- ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN A
TRANSFER LEVEL CLASS WHAT WE
DON'T WANT IS STUDENTS TAKING
REMEDIAL CLASS AFTER MEDIAL
CLASS AND NOT DOING ANY BETTER
IN TRANSFER LEVEL CLASSES YOU.
THE DATE IT SHOWS THAT THOSE
STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN THROUGH
THIS OF THESE REMEDIAL CLASSES-
DROPPED OUT. OR IF AND THEN THEY
TRANSFERRED THEY THEY PASSED
FRANCE FOR LEVEL CLASSES AT A
MUCH LOWER RATE SO- I AGREE WITH
ALL THE CONCERNS YOU HAVE-
EXPRESSED AND WE THINK THAT
WE'VE TRIED TO. ADDRESS ALL OF
THE WITH. WITH SEVENTY FIVE I'M
SURE YOU WOULD LIKE TO ADD YES.
WHEN I MET. ASSEMBLY MEMBER ARE
IS SHE RIGHT SO WHEN YOU HEAR IS
THE LIKE THAT A HIGH THOUSAND
STUDENTS DID NOT PLASTER
TRANSFER LOW LEVEL COURSES
ASSEMBLY MEMBER- WAS SAYING OF
THESE STUDENTS- WHO WE- JUST
WOULDN'T SEEN IN TRANSFER LEVEL.
RIGHT WE HAD SOMEONE POPPING.
THEY WERE. STUCK IN BDO RIGHT
NOW THEY WERE SAYING STUDENTS
TRANSFER LEVEL IT IS TRUE NOT
ALL STUDENTS WILL PASS A
TRANSFERABLE COURSE ON THEIR
PERSON M- BUT RESEARCH SHOWING
THAT EVEN FOR THOSE STUDENTS TO
TAKE. AND LEVEL. ON THEIR TAMPA
ARTIST. TAKING LIKELY TO PASSED
. LEVEL ON THAT SO IT THEN THEY
HAD STAR IN REMEDIAL AT. AND SO
TO GET TO HEART OF WHAT HEAR YOU
EXPRESS WHICH IS OF CONCERN- DOT
CHOI IT'S IT REALLY THE- OF YES
STUDENTS COME WITH DIFFERENT
LEVELS OF PREPARATION- WHAT AB
SEVEN OH FIVE IS MAKING CLEAR IN
AB SEVENTEEN OH FIVE. UNTIL TO.
CLEAR WHILE. BROUGH BUT WE HAVE
. THAT HAVE NOT PROVEN MEDIA. IS
NOT THE ANSWER THAT PROBLEM SO
WHAT IS THE M. GETS THE THING.
OTHER EVEN WITH AB SEVENTY OH
FIVE FOCUS STUDENT SUPPORT IN
TRANSFER LEVEL AND- WE'VE DONE
SOME OF THAT WORK THE CALIFORNIA
MEDICAL LEDGES- BUT WE HAVE JUST
SCRATCHED THE SURFACE THERE IS
SO MUCH MORE THAT WE CAN AND
WILL DO. TO ENHANCE STUDENT
SUPPORTS WELL IN TRANSFER LEVEL
COURSES ALSO THAT WILL CONTINUE
TO SEE EVEN SOME OF THOSE
CONCERNING NUMBERS DIMINISH.
THEM IS SUMMARIZE. IT JUST OF.
IT ADDS A SENSE OF THE- BOB PASS
RATE THE- WHEN THEY PLUNGE. THE
REAR OF COURSE UP- WOULD BE
HIGHER. THAN THROUGH THE
REMEDIAL CLASSES SO WHO ARE NOT
GIVEN THAT OPPORTUNITY. SO US
AND SELL REMEDIAL CLASSES ALFA.
RESENTED THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES SO LET'S GIVE IT A
TRY HERE YOU KNOW I COME FROM IN
A NON ENGLISH SPEAKING COUNTRY
MUST OFFER. I FINISHED MY IN A
COLLEGE AND INTO GRADUATE SCHOOL
AND A BUT I HAD THE THROUGH THE
MONTHS OF- ENGLISH ORIENTATION
PROGRAM. OUT WITHOUT ANY SUCH
PREPARATION IF I JUMPED INTO IT
THE I MIGHT HAVE VALUE I DON'T
KNOW IT MIGHT HAVE TAKEN A LOT
LONGER SO THE ORIENTATION
LANGUAGE PROGRAM. I DIDN'T HELP
US SO I THINK THAT THAT WAS ALL
REGIONAL INTENT DOUBLE REMEDIAL
CLASSES UP BUT THAT THIS HAS-
DRENCH THE TOO LONG AND THE-
CONSEQUENCES TO WERE NOT THE
REALLY- RESULTING IN A GOOD
DIRECTION SO- STATISTICALLY-
PASS RATE WHEN THEY JUMP INTO
THE ACTUAL CLASSES- DEPENDING
UPON WHAT CLASSES SAID THEY ARE
TAKING THE SUCCESS RATE. HI
LESTER SOME I GET MY- CORRECT.
AND NOT ALL AND SIMPLE OF. I
HAVE A CUP OF QUESTIONS- SO OH
FIVE. DIDN'T GET RID OF REMEDIAL
CLASSES IS THAT CORRECT. SO
SEVEN SEVEN OH FIVE WHAT IT DID
IS ALLOWED FOR USING OF VARIOUS
MEASURES NOT JUST RELYING ON THE
PLACEMENT TEST RIGHT TO PUT
STUDENTS IN IN TWO CLASSES RIGHT
- AND ONE OF THE REASONS ARE YOU
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD I
UNDERSTAND IS A- THAT. WE
HAVEN'T SEEN- THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES- SUPPORT MOVES INTO
THIS DIRECTION- ANALYSIS IS
WOULD THAT BE A FAIR STATEMENT.
THERE'S MANY A COMMUNITY
COLLEGES THAT HAVE FULLY
EMBRACED OF SEVEN OH FIVE AND
THE NUMBERS COMING OUT OF THOSE
COLLEGES ARE REALLY ASTOUNDING
BUT THERE ARE STILL- GROUPS OF
COLLEGES THAT HAVE NOT OF FULLY
EMBRACED- SEVEN OH FIVE BUT YEAH
OBVIOUSLY THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE YES IT IS IF I CAN ADD TO
THAT I WOULD SAY THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SYSTEM DID FULLY LEAN
INTO IMPLEMENTING EIGHTY SEVEN
OH FIVE TO THE LETTER OF THE
LAW. INSTANT WITH THE STRICT.
AND WOULD PLACEMENT THAT'S WHY
YOU'RE SEEING THE ADDITION OF
THE LANGUAGE AROUND ENROLLMENT
IN AB SEVENTEEN OH FIVE- SO IN
SOME INSTANCES IT WAS AN
APPROACH OF WELL THE OPTION IS
THERE A STUDENTS CAN BE PLACED
THERE- BUT IT IS LEFT OPEN I
WOULD SAY TOO MANY DOORS- TO ONE
STUPID CHOICE SO THAT STUDENTS
WERE STILL IN. IN THESE COURSES
AND IF DIDN'T OR THEY FISH WELL.
THEY WERE THERE WAS LIMITATION
THE COLLEGES THAT- BUT THERE DE
ROOM FOR. MORE TOWARDS THE
SPIRIT OF THE LAW AND WHAT IT
SOUGHT TO ACHIEVE SO THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THIS BILL AND
SEVEN OH FIVE IS WHAT. THE
STRONG FOCUS ON NOT JUST
PLACEMENT BUT ENROLLMENT
ACTUALLY FLAGGING THAT THE
DESIRE OF THIS BILL IS NOT
SIMPLY THAT STUDENTS HAVE AN
OPTION- THAT THEY COULD BE PLACE
BUT THAT UP YOU'RE ACTUALLY
ENSURING. THAT WE ARE COUNSELING
THEM IN SUCH A WAY THAT THEY ARE
ROLLING IN THE COURSES THAT ARE
BEST FOR THEM I'D ALSO BRING
SOME IMPORTANT CLARITY ABOUT
WHERE THE SUPPLIES IN WHERE IT
DOESN'T BECAUSE THERE WAS
CONFUSION. WITH IN BUILD UP
THAT'S CLEARED FOR- IT ALSO
BRINGS- IN IMPORTANT FLAG TOWARD
CONCURRENT SUPPORT AND ALLOWING
COLLEGES TO REQUIRE CONCURRENT
SUPPORT A WHICH IS A VERY
IMPORTANT CHANGED AS WELL. I'M
GONNA. IF THERE'S ANYBODY WHO
SPOKE IN THE OPPOSITION WHO
WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO MY
QUESTION. AS TO WHY COLLEGES
HAVE NOT. MORE READILY EMBRACE.
SEVEN OH FIVE. OR SUPPORTED THE
SENTIMENT THE FEELING BEHIND
SEVEN OH FIVE. SO I'M NOT SURE
WHY THERE IS THAT SENTIMENT OR
FEELING BEHIND THAT- THE
ACADEMIC SENATE HAS WORKED WITH
FACULTY STATEWIDE UP AND DOWN
THE STATE TO FULLY IMPLEMENT AB
SEVEN OH FIVE FACULTY ARE IN
FULL SUPPORT IN GETTING STUDENTS
AND COUNSELING THEM INTO TAKING
THOSE TRANSFER LEVEL COURSES.
BUT WE DO HAVE STUDENTS THAT
HELP FOR SOME REASON THEY DON'T
WANT TO TAKE ON SUCH A FULL LOAD
OF HAVING TO TAKE A TRANSFER
LEVEL COURSE IN ADDITION TO A
SUPPORT COURSE OR THE EXTRA
WORKLOAD THAT'S REQUIRED. TAKING
JUNE MAY HAVE CHILDREN CARE FOR
THEY MAY HELP PARENTS TO CARE
FOR. THEY THEY JUST DO'T HELP
THE TIME SOME STUDENTS HAVE BEEN
OUT OF SCHOOL FOR A LONG TIME
AND THEY WANT TO EASE BACK IN.
WE'RE LOSING OUR STUDENTS IS.
THE COLOR AND WE WERE HEARING
FROM OUR FACULTY THAT ARE
WORKING WITH THE STUDENTS WERE
HEARING FROM THOSE STUDENTS.
THEY CAN'T CALL IN AND GIVE YOU
TESTIMONY RIGHT NOW BUT BUT WE
BUT I THINK YOU MAY HAVE HEARD
FROM SOME OF THE STUDENTS. BOB I
. BROWN'S WHERE STUDENTS ARE NOT
REQUIRED TO TAKE A TRANSFER
LEVEL COURSE TO MEET THOSE
REQUIREMENTS HELLO BUT MOST ALL
REQUIREMENTS CAN BE MET WITH THE
TRANSFER LEVEL COURSE AND THAT'S
THE BEAUTY OF WHAT I'M DOING
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS THAT WE
GIVE STILL MANY WAYS TO MEET
THEIR REQUIREMENTS BUT WITH THIS
BILL STUDENTS WOULD BE COLLEGE.
UP TO RALPH. FOR LEVEL INSTEAD
OF THE PRE TRANSFER LEVEL THAT
MEETS THE REQUIREMENTS. I FULLY
APPRECIATE WANTING TO PREPARE
STUDENTS IN CASE DAY THEY WANT
TO GO TO TRANSFER INSTITUTION.
I'M REALLY. AND IT'S NOT JUST ME
IT'S OUR DELEGATES IT'S THE
FACULTY WERE WORKING WITH THEIR
THERE'S CONCERN WE COULD.
ADDITIONAL BLOCKS AND CREATE
ADDITIONAL- BARRIERS FOR
STUDENTS WHO ARE TRYING TO GET
THEIR LOCALIZATION AT DEGREES
THEIR CERTIFICATES. AND TRY TO
MOVE ON AND BE SUCCESSFUL. THE
IT'S FOR A BILL THE CLASS BUT
IT'S ALSO COLLEGE CREDIT CLASS
SO AND BECAUSE REMEDIAL CLASSES
IS NOT REALLY COLLEGE CREDIT SO
THERE'S SEVERAL LEVELS THERE'S
ONE LEFT HELLO IS TELLING AND
MATHEMATICS THAT COUNTS FOR THE
LOCAL. IT COUNTS FOR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE. CALL WHEN STUDENTS TAKE
A TRY LOW COURSE THAT TRANSFERS
TO THE FOUR YEAR INSTITUTION AND
COUNTS THERE SO WE'RE SEEING AN
ADDITIONAL NUMBER OF STUDENTS
THAT NOW HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL
GREAT NO TO ALL TRANCE CRYPT NAY
TRANSFER- INSTITUTION. BROWSE
WHEN THEY ABLE TO TAKE PRE
TRANSFER COURSE THAT MET LOW
NEED DIDN'T GET A RAISE AND GET
THROUGH THAT NOT KEEP ON WITH
THE AND- TO WRITE ABSOLUTE THE
DATE SHOWN THAT WE NOW SEE THE
STUDENTS BUT FACT NURSE SOLVE.
DATA FRANCE. FIRST FOR ME MANY
YEARS SEEN THEY NEED HELP WE
REALLY WITH LIKE TO WERE WITH
THE TO IMPROVE THIS TO THE NEW
OF OUR STUDENTS. YOU Q. KNOW I
I'D TURN OVER TO MIKE. MR LEVINE

COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAN DESIGNATE
THEIR OF FIRMS WERE CHOSEN NAME
AND PRONOUNS WHILE ATTENDING A
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
USE OF A STUDENTS ASSIGNED AT
BIRTH NAME RATHER THAN THEIR
CHOSEN OR AFFIRM TO NAME IS
KNOWN AS DEAD NAMING.
SPECIFICALLY FOR TRANSGENDER OR
NON BINARY INDIVIDUALS BEING
DEAD NAMES BY INCORRECT STUDENT
RECORDS CAN LEAD TO UNWANTED
OUTING. BULLYING DISCRIMINATION
VIOLENCE AND A LOSS OF
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES BY
REQUIRING FOR ALL CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUSES TO
UPDATE THEIR INTERNAL SYSTEMS TO
ACCOMMODATE ANY INDIVIDUAL'S OR
FIRM'S NAME AND IDENTIFY THEIR
PRONOUNS OUR PUBLIC SYSTEM CAN
AVOID THE ACT OF DEAD NAME.

OPTIONS FOR STUDENTS I ALSO
TEACH AND TRAIN OTHER COMMUNITY
COLLEGE DISTRICT AND HOW TO
CREATE THESE PROGRAM. FIRST HAND
KNOWLEDGE OF CREATING AND USING
THESE PROGRAMS AS WELL AS
WITNESSING THEIR IMPACT ON OUR
QUEER AND TRANS STUDENTS. THIS
BILL IS CRITICAL TO CREATING
SAFE CAMPUSES FOR OUR TRANS AND
NON BINARY STUDENTS. IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT THE COMMITTEE
UNDERSTAND THAT ACCESS TO EASILY
CHANGE ONE'S NAME THROUGHOUT
THEIR CAMPUS SYSTEMS. IS A
SAFETY AND PRIVACY ISSUE FOR OUR
TRANS AND NON BINARY STUDENTS.
THIS IS NOT SIMPLY ABOUT COMFORT
OR PREFERENCE. OUTING A STUDENT
BY USING THEIR LEGAL NAME OR
DIED NAME CAN PUT OUR
TRANSCENDENCE AND REAL PHYSICAL
DANGER. AT RISK FOR HARASSMENT

IMPLICATIONS AND SIGNIFICANT
SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT THEIR
MENTAL HEALTH. IN FACT THIS IS
ACKNOWLEDGED BY THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. AND
AVAILABLE ON THEIR WEBSITE WHICH
STATES THAT A TRANSGENDER OR
GENDER NONCONFORMING STUDENT.
MAY NOT EXPRESS THEIR GENDER
IDENTITY OPENLY AND ALL CONTACTS
INCLUDING AT HOME. REVEALING A
STUDENT'S GENDER IDENTITY OR
EXPRESSION TO OTHERS MAY
COMPROMISE THIS. THUS PRESERVE.
PRIVACY IS OF THE UTMOST
IMPORTANCE THE RIGHT OF
TRANSGENDER STUDENTS TO KEEP
THEIR TRANSGENDER STATUS PRIVATE

DISCRIMINATION LAWS AS WELL AS
FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS. AND

COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUSES HAVE
VOLUNTARILY CREATED NAME
INCLUSIVITY PROGRAMS THAT
PROVIDE STUDENTS THE ABILITY TO
CHANGE THEIR UNOFFICIAL FIRST
NAME AND CAMPUS SYSTEMS. AS WELL
AS THE ABILITY TO ADD THEIR
PERSONAL PRONOUNS MANY HAVE NOT.

REST OF THE CCC SYSTEM INTO
ALIGNMENT WITH OUR SYSTEM VALUES

THAT STUDENTS ARE NOT
EXPERIENCING THE CATASTROPHIC
PERSONAL IMPACTS OF BEING OUTED

AFTERNOON STEPHANIE GOLDMAN
ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR OF THE

CAN I GO AND I'M THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE SAN FRANCISCO

TRANSGENDER INITIATIVES I'M ALSO
PART OF. PART TIME FACULTY AT A
LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE WHERE I
TEACH IN THE HEALTH EDUCATION
DEPARTMENTS. I'M TESTIFYING
BEFORE YOU TODAY IN SUPPORT OF
AB TWENTY THREE FIFTEEN BECAUSE
THIS BILL IS UTTERLY AT
LIFESAVING. FOR TRANSGENDER NON
BINARY CALIFORNIANS AS IT
AFFORDS GENUINE ACCESS TO
EDUCATION AND EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES TO MEMBERS OF OUR
COMMUNITY. THE SAD REALITY IS
THAT TODAY AND EVERY DAY ACROSS
COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAMPUSES
STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES ARE OUTED
AS TRANSGENDER. DEAD NAMED
HARASSED AND ULTIMATELY EXCLUDED
FROM EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES. FOR TRANS GENDER
NON BINARY PEOPLE SYSTEMATIC
THAT NAMING IS SO HARMFUL THAT
WE LEAVE CLASS AND NEVER RETURN.
FURTHER BEING DEAD MEMES MAKES
US TARGETS FOR VIOLENCE FOR. 22%
OF COLLEGE OF OCCASIONAL SCHOOL
STUDENTS. WERE OUT OR PERCEIVED
AS TRANSGENDER IN CALIFORNIA ARE
VERBALLY PHYSICALLY AND OR
SEXUALLY HARASSED BECAUSE OF
BEING TRANSGENDER. BEING
EXCLUDED FROM EDUCATION
EMPLOYMENT SETTINGS MEANS BEING
SHUT OUT FROM ECONOMIC STABILITY
BECAUSE COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE
OFTEN THE ONLY AFFORDABLE AND
ACCESSIBLE WAY FOR CALIFORNIANS
TO GAIN. THE EDUCATION NEEDED TO
FURTHER OUR CAREERS. IT'S NOT
SURPRISING THEN THAT OUR
COMMUNITY EXPERIENCES
UNEMPLOYMENT AND MORE THAN THREE
TIMES THE RATE OF THE GENERAL
POPULATION. THIS BILL WOULD
CHANGE THAT. AB TWENTY THREE
FIFTEEN WILL ELIMINATE THE
PERVASIVE DEAD NAMING OF
TRANSCEND NINE BEARING EVERY
PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SYSTEM. AND ENSURE THAT ALL
COMMUNITY COLLEGES ASSIST PLACE
HONOR STUDENTS AND EMPLOYEES
CORRECT NAMES AND PRONOUNS.
MAKING SAFER. I'M EXAGGERATING

SEE NINE ACTIONS COMMENTS FROM-
THE DICE FROM THE COMMITTEE. I
THINK THERE ARE I UNDERSTAND NOW
WHAT YOUR BILL IS- INTENDING TO
DO I WONDER- AS SHE IS SO HAS
THERE BEEN ANY PROBLEM. HI I
THINK WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE
DIFFICULTIES THAT MANY FEEL
ABOUT BEING OUTED BEING BULLIED
AND WHEN WE DON'T UP PROPRIA
LEAVE REFLECT THE NAME THEY WANT
TO BE IDENTIFIED. BY IN TO
BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT TO
RESPECT PEOPLE'S WISHES ON HOW
THEY WISH TO BE ADDRESSED. AT
THE TIME OF- APPLICATION COLLEGE
APPLICATION THE STATE. YOUR NAME
AND THE GENDER. RIGHT WHY IN THE
MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL. DO THEY
HAVE TO CHANGE I BELIEVE WE SAW
AN ADVANTAGE AND THERE WAS A
SILVER LINING FROM THE PANDEMIC
WHERE MANY PEOPLE WHO WERE
PARTICIPATING IN ONLINE SCHOOL
WERE ABLE TO IDENTIFY
THEMSELVES. WERE ABLE TO NAME
THEMSELVES AND PLACE THEIR
PRONOUNS IN THEIR SCREEN IN
THEIR BOX THAT IS NEW AND
DIFFERENT THAN HOW WE WERE
TRADITIONALLY TEACHING IN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND MANY
STUDENTS FOUND COMFORT IN THAT
IN BEING ABLE TO IDENTIFY AND-
USED THEIR CHOSEN NAME AS WELL
AS THEIR CHOSEN PRONOUNS AND
BELIEVE THAT IT'S AN IMPORTANT
SILVER LINING FOR US TO CAPTURE
FROM THE SPEND. MAKE AT ALL TO
MILLIE STUDENTS FELT SAFER WHEN
THEY WERE ABLE TO USE THEIR OWN
AFFIRM TODAY. SO STRANGE. I WANT
TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR BRINGING
IT FORWARD I BELIEVE YOU'RE
BUILDING ON OUR FORMER
COLLEAGUE- MR CHU. AND I'M
PLEASED TO SEE THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE IN

FOUR FIFTY NINE TODAY I DO WANT
TO THANK YOUR COMMITTEE STAFFER
ARE ALL OF THEIR DILIGENT
WORKING ASSISTANCE ON THIS
IMPORTANT BILL AS NOTED IN THE
COMMITTEE ANALYSIS I AM ASKING
THAT THIS COMMITTEE AMEND THIS
BILL TO REFLECT THE LANGUAGE
OUTLINED ON PAGE THREE OF THE
ANALYSIS. AS AMENDED AB TWENTY
OUR FIFTY NINE WILL REQUIRE THE
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
AND REQUEST THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA TO REQUIRE EACH OF
THEIR RESPECTIVE CAMPUSES. THAT
PROVIDE STUDENT HOUSING TO POST%
DATA ON STUDENT HOUSING
INCLUDING THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS
ON THE HOUSING WAIT LISTS ON A
MONTHLY BASIS AT EACH CAMPUS. ON
EACH CAMPUS IS WEBSITE. I WANT
TO NOTE THAT THIS BILL ONLY
APPLIES FOR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS
OF HIGHER LEARNING. AB TWENTY
FOUR FIFTY NINE WILL ALSO
REQUIRE EACH SEGMENT TO SUBMIT
AN ANNUAL REPORT TO THE
LEGISLATURE COMPILING THIS DATA
FOR THEIR ENTIRE SEGMENT. OUR
STATE HAS GENERALLY STARTED
MEETING STUDENT HOUSING NEEDS AS
A RESPONSIBILITY OF HIGHER
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. HOWEVER
SINCE CAMPUSES DO NOT REGULARLY
ORIGINALLY PROVIDE DATA ON
OCCUPANCY RATES IN A WEIGHTLESS
FOR STUDENT HOUSING ON THE
CAMPUS TO CAMPUS BASIS WE ARE
UNAWARE OF WHETHER OR PUBLIC
INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING
OUR MEETINGS THOSE HOUSING
NEEDS. ACCORDING TO AN L. A-
REPORT FROM TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
YES YOU REPORTED THIRTEEN
CAMPUSES WHAT WAIT LISTS
TOTALING EIGHT THOUSAND SEVEN
HUNDRED STUDENTS DR YOUR IS UP
FROM A WAIT LIST OF FIVE
THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED AND
TWENTY NINETEEN. IN THE FALL OF
TWENTY TWENTY ONE EIGHT UC
CAMPUSES REPORTED WAIT LIST
TOTALING MORE THAN SEVEN
THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED STUDENTS.
SOME CAMPUS SUPPORT WEIGHTLESS
CREASES ABOVE PRE PANDEMIC
LEVELS. THIS BILL WILL HELP
PROVIDE MORE TRANSPARENCY TO
THIS LEGISLATURE INTO OUR
STUDENTS BY ENSURING THAT THIS
IMPORTANT DATA IS REGULARLY
UPDATED AND PUBLICLY AVAILABLE
ON THE INTERNET. THIS WILL ALSO
THIS WILL ALLOW THE LEGISLATURE
TO EXERCISE PROPER OVERSIGHT
OVER PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS OF
HIGHER LEARNING. ACCURATELY
ASSESS EACH CAN ASSIST STUDENT
HOUSING NEEDS OUR STUDENTS
PARTICULARLY FINANCIALLY UNDER
RESOURCE STUDENTS ALSO NEED MORE
COMPLETE AND ACCURATE
INFORMATION TO MAKE WELL
INFORMED HOUSING DECISIONS. AT
THEIR RESPECTIVE CAMPUSES THIS
WILL HELP ELIMINATE FRUSTRATION
AND CONFUSION EXPERIENCED BY
STUDENTS ON A HOUSING CAMPUS A
WAITING LIST. AND THEY HAVE TO
DECIDE WHETHER TO SEEK
ALTERNATIVE HOUSING OPTIONS THE
TRANSPARENCY PROVIDED BY THIS
BILL WILL ONLY IMPROVE OUR
POLICY MAKING AND THIS
LEGISLATURE AS WELL AS ALLOW OUR
STUDENTS TO HAVE THE INFORMATION
THEY NEED TO MAKE GOOD HEALTH
DECISIONS. I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU. I
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. ANY

OPPOSITION ANY TWEETERS NO. OKAY
WE GOT SOMEBODY. GOOD AFTERNOON
MR SHARE MEMBERS TO TENDER MOLLY
HERE ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM- WE DO
NOT HAVE AN OFFICIAL POSITION ON
THIS BILL AT THIS TIME BUT HAVE
BEEN ENGAGED WITH CONVERSATIONS
WITH THE AUTHOR'S OFFICE AND
LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING. TO
WORK OUT WORK WITH THEM ON THIS
LEGISLATION AS THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
THE COMMITTEE. SEEING NONE IF
YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
AND I THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THE BILL FORWARD AND WE
WILL BRING IT UP WHEN WE HAVE A
REPORT. I THINK YOU HAVE ONE
MORE BILL TO PRESENT FILE ITEM
TEN A. B. TWENTY FOUR NINETY ONE. THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS
THIS BILL IS VERY SIMILAR TO MY
EIGHTY. SEVEN TEN FROM TWENTY
NINETEEN WHICH THIS COMMITTEE
APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY THREE YEARS
AGO IN RECENT YEARS THE COST TO
ATTEND COLLEGE HAS GROWN. AT A
RATE FOUR TIMES GREATER THAN THE
RATE OF INFLATION. FOR STUDENTS
THAT OUR PUBLIC HEART EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS HOUSING AND OTHER
NON. I TUITION EXPENSES MAKE UP
THE MAJORITY OF THE COST OF
ATTENDANCE. THE ACCESSIBLE AND
TRANSPARENT DATA WE PROVIDE TO
STUDENTS ON THE PERSPECTIVE COST
OF ATTENDANCE INFLUENCES THE
CHOICES THEY MAKE ABOUT WHICH
COLLEGE TO ATTEND WHETHER OR NOT
TO TAKE LOANS TO PAY FOR THEIR
HIGHER EDUCATION. UNDER EXISTING
LAW THERE IS NO STANDARD SYSTEM
WIDE PROCESS TO CALCULATE
HOUSING COSTS COLLEGES HAVE
CONSIDERABLE DISCRETION IN THIS
pAREA. THIS LACK OF ACCURATE AND
READILY ACCESSIBLE INCONSISTENT
HOUSING COSTS DATA MEANS THERE
IS NO GUARANTEE OUR STUDENTS
WILL BE ABLE TO REALLY COMPARE.
THE COST OF ATTENDANCE BETWEEN
DIFFERENT INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER
EDUCATION. INSTITUTIONS OF
HIGHER LEARNING SHOULD BE
UPDATING THEIR HOUSING COSTS ON
A FREQUENT BASIS IN ORDER TO
KEEP UP WITH THE STATE'S EVER
FLUCTUATED HOUSING MARKET. ONLY
THEN WILL OUR STUDENTS TO BE
ABLE TO HAVE ACCURATE COST. OF
ATTENDANCE INFORMATION. THERE IS
NO SMALL MATTER AN ACCURATE DATA
ON STUDENT ON HOUSING COSTS WILL
LEAD TO PROSPECTIVE AND CURRENT
STUDENTS TO MAKE AN ACCURATE
BUDGET BUDGETING DECISIONS. THIS
CAN LEAD STUDENTS EITHER COME UP
SHORT OR ABLE TO PAY FOR COLLEGE
OR LEAD STUDENTS TO TAKE ON MORE
LOANS AND THEY NEED. LEADING TO
EXCESSIVE STUDENT LOAN DEBT.
THIS PROGRAM DISPROPORTIONATELY
AFFECTS MANY LOW INCOME STUDENTS
AND STUDENTS OF COLOR WHO LIKE
WE DO NOT HAVE THE UNLIMITED
RESOURCES. AT THEIR DISPOSAL TO
FIND THEIR DREAMS OF ATTENDING.
A COLLEGE. AND TIE AND ATTAINING
A COLLEGE DEGREE. AB TWENTY FOUR
NINETY ONE WILL HELP SOLVE THIS
ISSUE BY REQUIRING INSTITUTIONS
OF HIGHER LEARNING TO USE THE
FEDERAL DEPARTMENT. OF HOUSIG
AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT FAIR
MARKET RENTS DOCUMENTATION
SYSTEM TO STANDARDIZE THE
HOUSING COSTS FOR STUDENTS.
PURSUANT TO FEDERAL LAW HI TO
HAS RELIABILITY. PUBLISHED
ANNUAL UPDATE TO THE FAIR
HOUSING RENT SYSTEM SINCE FOR
THE LAST FORTY FIVE YEARS. THE
FAIR MARKET IN. MARKET RENTS
DATA IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE AND
MORE ACCURATELY PORTRAYS A COST
FOR HOUSING AND SURROUNDING
COMMUNITIES THEN STUDENT
SURVEYS. CALIFORNIA STUDENTS
SHOULD NOT BE PRICED OUT OF
THEIR COLLEGE DREAMS OR FORCED
TO TAKE OUT MORE LOANS AND THEY
NEED BECAUSE WE- ARE THE STATE
HAVE FAILED TO PROVIDE THEM WITH
ACCURATE DATA ON HOUSING. ON
HOUSING CROSS ACROSS THE STATE
THIS BILL WILL HELP OUR STUDENTS
ESPECIALLY LOW INCOME STUDENTS
AND STUDENTS OF COLOR. AS WE
HELP PAINT AN ACCURATE PICTURE
OF THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES THEN
THEY THAT THEY PERSONALLY NEED
TO MAKE IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH
TO THE COMMENCEMENT. FOR THESE
REASONS I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
AN AYE VOTE. THANK YOU ANY
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. IN THE
HEARING ROOM ANY WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION. ANY POINTERS. C.
NINE QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
THE COMMITTEE. C. NINE I THANK
THE AUTHOR AGAIN FOR BRINGING IT
FORWARD THE BILL FORWARD AND I
WOULD ASK IF SHE WOULD CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH THE SEGMENTS- TO
HELP ALLEVIATE SOME OF THEIR
CONCERNS CERTAINLY AND WITH THAT
IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR TO VOTE. ON
THIS BILL TODAY THANK YOU AND

OPPORTUNITY PRESENT A. B.
NINETEEN THIRTY SIX. AB NINETEEN
THIRTY SIX WAS STRIKE THE NAME
OF HASTINGS FROM THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA COLLEGE OF THE LAW
. THIS BILL WOULD ALSO- BRING
TOGETHER THROUGH A COLLABORATIVE
CONSULTATION PROCESS AMONG THE
ROUND VALLEY INDIAN TRIBES THE
YUKI- COMMITTEE AND THE COLLEGE
OF THE LAW. IT WOULD ALSO ENACT
RESTORATIVE JUSTICE POLICIES FOR
THE YUKI AND ROUND VALLEY INDIAN
PEOPLE. I WANT TO THANK THOSE
WHO WILL BE SPEAKING FOR THEIR
ON GOING COMMITMENT THAT HAS LED
TO OVER TEN MEETINGS WHERE WE
WORKED THROUGH SOME TOUGH ISSUES
. WHERE WE ARE COMMITTED TO
CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER ON THE
RENAMING AND THE REMAINING
ISSUES THE STANDARD FRONT OF US
. A LITTLE BACKGROUND SIR ERNEST
HASTINGS PAID FOR MALICIOUS THAT
BROUGHT GENOCIDE AND ATROCITIES
UPON THE CALIFORNIA INDIAN
PEOPLE IN EDEN VALLEY IN ROUND
VALLEY M. BROUGHT TURMOIL TO THE
UKEE INDIAN PEOPLE. HOWEVER THE
DAILY MEANS THAT HASTINGS USED
TO BUILD HIS WEALTH AND HOW FUN
FOUND THE LAW SCHOOL HAS
RECEIVED LITTLE SCRUTINY UNTIL
NOW. STARTING IN OCTOBER OF TWO
THOUSAND TWENTY ONE. THE SCHOOL
AGREED TO MOVE FORWARD TO
SEPARATE FROM THE NAME OF
HASTINGS SINCE THAT POINT IN
TIME I HAVE COORDINATED TEN
MEETINGS THAT HAVE BROUGHT
FORWARD THE COLLABORATION OF
DISCUSSION WITH ROUND VALLEY
INDIAN TRIBES THE U. K. INDIAN.
IN THE LAW SCHOOL ALTOGETHER
WORKING TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE
MOVING FORWARD IN A PATH. FOR
TOO LONG THE VOICES OF THE
CALIFORNIA INDIAN PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN LEFT OUT OF DISCUSSIONS AND
DECISIONS THAT CENTER AROUND
HISTORIC TRAUMA. IN ACTIONS
INFLICTED UPON THEM DURING THE
STATE'S HISTORY. AB NINETEEN
THIRTY SIX INSURERS THAT THE
VOICE OF THE CALIFORNIA INDIAN
PEOPLE ARE AT THE TABLE TO HAVE
THEIR VOICES HEARD. BACK IN
EIGHTEEN SEVENTY EIGHT NO ONE IN
THE LEGISLATURE ASKED THE UKEE
AROUND VALLEY TRIBAL PEOPLE IT
HASTINGS WAS A GOOD NAME FOR THE
LAW SCHOOL. AB NINETEEN THIRTY
SIX FOR THE FIRST TIME INSURERS
THAT THE VOICE THAT HAS BEEN
LEFT OUT OF PREVIOUS DISCUSSIONS
IS PRESENT TO ADDRESS AND SPEAK
DIRECTLY TO THE RESTORATIVE
JUSTICE COMPONENTS THAT ARE
NEEDED. A RESTORATIVE JUSTICE
THAT STARTS TO ACKNOWLEDGE A
TRAUMATIC HISTORY OF THE PAST IT
ALSO LOOKS FORWARD TO A FUTURE
OF HEALING. AB NINETEEN THIRTY
SIX IN COLLABORATION WITH THE
STAKEHOLDERS WILL CONTINUE THIS
WORK. MY OWN CLAN THERE YOU HAVE
IT THEN PEOPLE OF SAMBAR DINO
COUNTY WAS ALMOST EXTERMINATED
GEN EIGHTEEN SIXTY SIX IN THIS
ERA IN THE SAMBAR DINO MOUNTAINS
SO IT IS PERSONAL TO ME TO
ENSURE THAT CALIFORNIA'S FIRST
PEOPLE HAVE A VOICE AT THE
TABLE. MANY TIMES IT IS
DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND THE
CONTINUED IMPACT OF THAT TRAUMA
. BUT I DO KNOW THAT IT BEGINS
WITH KNOWLEDGE MENT OF THE HORDE
PASSED AND THAT HAVING OUR
PEOPLE AT THE TABLE WILL
ESTABLISH A MUTUAL RESPECT. AND
SAID OF COURSE TOWARDS A
POSITIVE FUTURE. THE PROCESS MAY
TAKE TIME BUT THEN AGAIN IT'S
TAKEN MORE THAN A HUNDRED AND
FORTY YEARS FOR US TO REACH THIS
POINT TODAY. THIS IS ABOUT MORE
THAN SIMPLY MOVING ON OR
CHANGING THE LETTER HEAD OR THE
NAME ON THE LETTERHEAD. IT IS
ABOUT HELPING TO BUILD A NEW
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE STATE.
ITS INSTITUTIONS AND
CALIFORNIA'S FIRST PEOPLE. WITH
ME TODAY TO TESTIFY. ARE THE
COMPONENTS- WITH ME IS IN

PRESIDENT. OF ROUND VALLEY
INDIAN TRIBES PRESIDENT- JIM

pPROVISIONS OF THIS BILL WILL
PROVIDE JUST. MENDOCINO COUNTY.
HOWEVER I AM AGAINST THE
RENAMING OF MY LAW SCHOOL. WHICH
IS PART OF THIS BILL. THIS PART
OF THE PROPOSED BILL IS ILL
ADVISED AND FAULTY. FIRST IT
WON'T RESTORE ANYTHING TO THE
NATIVE AMERICANS IN WILL
CERTAINLY ANTAGONIZE SOME OF THE
GRADUATES OF LAW SCHOOL. NEXT IS
ONLY BECAUSE JEALOUSY IN
BICKERING BETWEEN THE TRIBES THE
SCHOOL AND EVEN THE TWO HOUSES
OF YOUR LEGISLATURE. RIGHT NOW
THERE ARE TWO COMPETING BILLS
YOUR BILL AND THE BILL IN THE
SENATE ON THIS VERY RENAMING.
SOME OF THE TRIED MEMBERS
THEMSELVES ACCORDING TO- TO DEAN
FAGAN AT OUR LAST MEETING
THEMSELVES DO NOT EVEN WANT TO
RENAMING. THIRD THE RENAMING IS
BASED UPON FALSE FACTS AND
INFORMATION. CHIEF JUSTICE
HASTINGS WHO IS THE FIRST CHIEF
JUSTICE OF THE CALIFORNIA
SUPREME COURT DIDN'T KILL ANY
NATIVE AMERICANS ALL OF HIS
OPINIONS WRITTEN OPINIONS BY THE
SUPREME COURT AND OTHER ITEMS
THAT HE DID IS A ATTORNEY
GENERAL SO A DISCONCERTING NEED
A COUNTY WERE IN FAVOR OF NATIVE
AMERICAN RIGHTS. AND USING HIM
AS A NINETEENTH CENTURY
SCAPEGOAT WILL REDUCE THE
CREDIBILITY AND ACCEPTANCE OF
THIS BILL. LASTLY THIS RENAMING
PORTION OF THE BILL. IS ILLEGAL
AND WILL LEAD TO LITIGATION
WHICH WILL DELAY THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF RESTORATIVE
JUSTICE. FOR ALL THSE REASONS I
WOULD URGE YOU TO DELETE THE LAW
SCHOOL RENAMING PROVISION OF A
BILL. CERTAINLY OF ANY OF THE
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE HAVE
QUESTIONS OF ME I'D BE GLAD TO
RESPOND TO THEIR THEIR
QUESTIONS. MUCH OF THE
INFORMATION I'VE GAINED IS BY

BEAR SIGNIFICANT RESPONSIBILITY
FOR IRREPARABLE HARM CAUSED TO
THE U. P. PEOPLE AND THE NATIVE
AMERICAN PEOPLE OF THE STATE.
HASTINGS DID NOT KILL OR
KNOWINGLY PARTICIPATE IN THE
KILLING OF OR WANTON VIOLENCE
AGAINST ANY NEED OF
CALIFORNIANS. HE ASKED THE
UNITED STATES MILITARY TO
RESPOND TO HIS AND OTHER
SETTLERS CONCERNS ABOUT ATTACKS
AND DAMAGE UPON PROPERTY.
INCLUDING HIS OWN BUT SUCH
ASSISTANCE WAS REFUSED. THEN
FOLLOWING THE PROCEDURE REQUIRED
BY STATE LAW AT THE TIME HE
STINKS PREPARE TO PETITION THE
GOVERNOR REQUESTING THAT A
MILITIA BE FORMED TO STOP THE
KILLING VIOLENCE AND PROPERTY
DESTRUCTION THAT HAD ERUPTED
BETWEEN NATIVE PEOPLE IN RECENT
SETTLERS. THE GOVERNOR INITIALLY
REFUSED BUT LATER EXCEEDED TO
THAT REQUEST HOWEVER THE LEADER
OF THE EAGLE RIVER RANGERS AS
THEY CAME TO CALL THEMSELVES DID
NOT FOLLOW THE GOVERNOR'S ORDERS
AND NATIVE PEOPLE WERE INDEED
WANTONLY KILLED IN. STINGS THAT.

AS JUST YET LESS THAN TWENTY
FOUR HOURS AGO- EIGHTEEN FIFTEEN
WILL STILL FOCUS ON IMPOSING A
COST ON ACTORS. WHO ARE
DESTROYING THE CULTURAL HERITAGE
OF OTHER NATION STATES- BUT
WITHOUT SACRIFICING THE CORE
INTENT- THIS BILL WILL NARROW
ITS FOCUS TO THE SPECIFIC
PRECEDENT SETTING PROVISIONAL
ORDER THAT THE INTERNATIONAL
COURT OF JUSTICE RECENTLY ISSUED
IN DECEMBER OF TWENTY TWENTY TO
AYE ICJ ISSUED A PROVISIONAL
ORDER AGAINST AZERBAIJAN
REQUIREMENT THAT THEY TAKE ALL
NECESSARY MEASURES TO PREVENT
AND PUNISH. THE VANDALISM IN
AFFECTING CULTURAL HERITAGE
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO
CHURCHES AND OTHER PLACES OF
WORSHIP. ATTENTION NEVER REALLY

ON CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITIES
INVITING A SPONSOR PROFESSOR OF
PERMISSIVE WE WILL CONTINUE
WORKING WITH COMMITTEE STAFF TO
FURTHER DEFINE THE UNDER DEFINED
TERMS IN THE BILL AND AMEND THE
LANGUAGE SO THAT MUSEUMS WILL BE
NOTIFIED OF THE JUDGMENT- THESE
CHANGES WILL BE MADE PRIOR TO
THE APPROPRIATIONS HEARING. AND
THE CALIFORNIA HAS. HAS A PLACE
ON THE GLOBAL STAGE PART OF THE
REASON FOR THIS BILL WAS
CALIFORNIA'S PLACE ON THE GLOBAL
STAGE TO SET US SET SANCTIONS
COUNTRIES THAT ACT CONTRARY TO
OUR VALUES BY LIMITING THE
ACCESS TO OUR SOUGHT AFTER
CULTURAL SPACES. HOLD TO STOP.
OF JUSTICE FOR TO WITH THAT
AGAIN I'M JOINED BY MISTER ME
ONTO MY CHEN FROM THE ARMENIAN
ASSEMBLY OF AMERICA VS. THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN UP AS A
STUDENT OF HISTORY. I'D LIKE TO
ADD SOME CONTEXT HISTORICAL
CONTEXT TO WHAT ASSEMBLY MEMBERS
ARE IN- JUST JUST THE STATED OF
THE GOVERNMENT OF AZERBAIJAN
SPECIFICALLY HAS A HISTORY OF
COVERING UP. ITS STATE SPONSORED
ERASURE OF INDIGENOUS ARMENIAN
CULTURAL HERITAGE ON TERRITORIES
THAT IT CURRENTLY CONTROLS
AZERBAIJAN'S ENOUGH EACH OF ON
EXCLAVE IS A CASE IN POINT. A
SEMINAL FORENSIC STUDY PUBLISHED
IN TWENTY NINETEEN BY HISTORIANS
SIMON MCKEON AND SERRA PICKMAN
TRACKED AZERBAIJAN'S DESTRUCTION
OF EIGHTY NINE MEDIEVAL ARMENIAN
CHURCHES FIVE THOUSAND EIGHT
HUNDRED FORTY INTRICATECROSS
STONES AND TWENTY TWO THOUSAND
TOMBSTONES WHICH OCCURRED
BETWEEN NINETEEN NINETY SEVEN IN
TWO THOUSAND SIX. WE ARE
FORTUNATE TO HAVE SUCH
METICULOUS DATA THANKS TO THE
PAINSTAKING EFFORTS OF HISTORIAN
ARE DUMB I BOSNIAN WHO DECADES
EARLIER ANTICIPATED THE
ERADICATION OF ARMENIAN
RELIGIOUS AND CULTURAL RELICS.
IN THE KNUCKEY TAVON EXCLAVE. TO
ADD INSULT TO INJURY
AZERBAIJAN'S DYNASTIC ALI A
FAMILY DICTATORSHIP NOTORIOUS
FOR EXECUTING A COMPLEX GLOBAL
MONEY LAUNDERING OPERATION IN
MULTI BILLION DOLLAR SLUSH FUND
KNOWN AS THE AZERBAIJANI
LAUNDROMAT. GOT AWAY SCOT FREE
WITH ITS COMPLETE ANNIHILATION
OF ARMENIAN CULTURAL HERITAGE
THAT IT BROUGHT ENOUGH EACH OF
ON DESPITE CLEAR VIDEO EVIDENCE
CAPTURING BEFORE AND AFTER
FOOTAGE OF THE DEVASTATION. AND
WITH IMPUNITY THE ALI IBRAHIM
HAS EMBARKED ON A SIMILAR STATE
CONCEIVED CAMPAIGN OF ERASURE
AND DESTRUCTION IN PARTS OF THE
ARTSAKH REPUBLIC. FORMALLY KNOWN
AS THE GOING TO KARA HAT
AZERBAIJANI FORCES SUPPORTED BY
THE TURKISH MILITARY AS WELL AS
TO HOW TO CANARIES FROM SYRIA
OVERRAN DURING THE FORT FORTY
ONE. ON ARTS UP IN THE FALL OF
TWENTY TWENTY. SO WITH THAT
CONTEXT UP. OF THE COULD THE
CURRENT BILL AB EIGHTEEN FIFTEEN
IS SO IMPORTANT BECAUSE- THE
INTERNATIONAL COURT OF JUSTICE
DID SOMETHING UNPRECEDENTED BACK
IN DECEMBER OF. OF TWENTY TWENTY
ONE IN THE CASE ARMENIA VERSES
AZERBAIJAN WHERE CALLED UPON THE
GOVERNMENT OF AZERBAIJAN TO TAKE
ALL NECESSARY MEASURES TO
PREVENT AND PUNISH ACTS OF
VANDALISM AND DESECRATION
AFFECTING ARMENIAN CULTURAL
HERITAGE. THE ISSUE THOUGH IS
THAT THE I. C. J. DOES NOT HAVE
JURISDICTION TO ENFORCE SUCH
PROVISIONAL ORDERS THAT THE
ISSUE AND THAT'S WHY IT'S
INCUMBENT UPON BOTH THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND ALSO ON STATES
LIKE CALIFORNIA WHICH IS WHICH
IS A BEACON. FOR MORALITY AND
DEMOCRACY IN THE UNITED STATES
AND HAS LED THE WAY ON
EVERYTHING FROM DIVESTMENT SOUTH
AFRICA OF DAVID LED THE WAY
BEFORE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON
A TESTAMENT FOR SOUTH AFRICA-
AND CERTAINLY. SPENT WITH TWO
TRIPS GOVERNMENT CONTROLLED
BONDS AND ASSETS WITH WHICH THE

DISADVANTAGE WHEN DISCHARGING

MAKING A COMMITMENT TO DUTY.
THEY DID THIS AT A TIME IN OUR
LIVES WHEN MOST EIGHTEEN YEAR
OLDS WERE ATTENDING COLLEGE
BURNING TRADES IN BUILDING
RESUMS. UPON SEPARATION FROM
MILITARY SERVICE THESE VETERANS
MUST RE INTEGRATE INTO THE
CIVILIAN WORLD. HOWEVER THEY
HAVE ACCESS TO ONE OF THE MOST

ASSEMBLY BILL NINETEEN EIGHTEEN
. REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM IS UNDER
ASSAULT ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY
AND WHILE CALIFORNIA HAS BEEN A
STRONG LEADER IN PROTECTING
PROTECTING REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS
EVEN HERE IN CALIFORNIA MANY
WOMEN IN OUR STATE LACK ACCESS
TO COMPREHENSIVE REPRODUCTIVE
CARE IN FACT 40% OF CALIFORNIA
COUNTIES DON'T HAVE A SINGLE
ABORTION PROVIDER. THIS BILL
WILL CREATE A REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH SERVICE CORPS IN
CALIFORNIA AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH CARE ACCESS AND
INFORMATION INSPIRED BY THE
NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE CORPS
THIS PROPOSAL WILL GREATLY
STRENGTHEN OUR HEALTH CARE
EDUCATION PIPELINE RECRUITING
TRAINING AND RETAINING A DIVERSE
WORK FORCE AS MEDICAL
PROFESSIONALS TRAINED IN
REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES THEY WILL
THEN BE ASSIGNED TO TEAMS AND
UNDERSERVED AREAS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA. PROUD TO ADD TO
WORKING WITH A TERRIFIC. THESE
NOW. ARE WITH FLOOR TO TEACH AN
ZERO EIGHT CARRASCO AND OUR AND
STUDENT NURSE MIDWIFE AT AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN
FRANCISCO. THANK YOU. GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIRMAN ENOUGH
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS FOR HUNTER I'M THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF TEACHER. TRAINING
EARLY ABORTION FOR COMPREHENSIVE
HEALTH CARE WHERE PROUD SPONSOR
OF THIS BILL- FOR NINETEEN YEARS
TEACH HAS CULTIVATED THE NEXT
GENERATION OF DIVERSE
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CHAMPIONS
THROUGH ABORTION TRAINING AND
MENTORSHIP AND- PRODUCED AN
ACADEMIC CURRICULUM AND EARLY
ABORTION CARE FOR PRIMARY CARE
PROVIDERS. I AM THRILLED TO WORK
WITH ASSEMBLY WOMAN CAUGHT
BETWEEN NORRIS ON THIS BILL THAT
WOULD CREATE A CALIFORNIA
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH SERVICE
CORPS. THIS GREW OUT OF THE
CALIFORNIA FUTURES OF ABORTION
COUNTS AND THE HONOR OF SERVING
AS CHAIR OF THE WORK FORCE
WORKING GROUP. MODELED AFTER THE
NATIONAL HEALTH SERVICE CORPS
ESTABLISHED FIFTY YEARS AGO AB
NINETEEN EIGHTEEN WOULD DO FOR
ABORTION CARE ACCESS IN
CALIFORNIA. WHAT THAT N. H. AS
SEATED FOR PRIMARY CARE ACCESS
IN ON. AREAS OTHER SHIPMENTS BY
PENCE FOR ALL MEMBERS OF THE
HEALTHCARE TEAM AB NINETEEN
EIGHTEEN CREATES EDUCATIONAL
PATHWAYS THAT MEET THE REAL
NEEDS OF DIVERSE ASPIRING HEALTH
CARE PROFESSIONALS WE CAN'T GET
SERIOUS ABOUT DIVERSIFYING THE
HEALTHCARE WORKFORCE IF WE
AREN'T WILLING TO INVEST UP
FRONT IN THEIR DEVELOPMENT AND
THEIR CAREERS AND THE SOME FRONT
INVESTMENT WILL ENSURE THEIR
HEALTHCARE WORK. IS ABLE TO MEET
THE DATE THE NEEDS OF
CALIFORNIA'S DIVERSE POPULATIONS
. THIS BILL ALSO ADDRESSES
SOMETHING VERY CLOSE TO MY HEART
THE SHORTAGE OF OPPORTUNITIES
FOR ABORTION TRAINING GRADUATES
OF THE TEACH PROGRAM ARE THE
LUCKY FEW. THEY'RE PART OF JUST
6% OF FAMILY MEDICINE RESIDENTS
WERE GETTING ABORTION TRAINING
THROUGH THEIR RESIDENCY. AND FOR
ADVANCED PRACTICE NURSES THIS
TRAINING IS EVEN LESS ACCESSIBLE
. EVEN HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS WHO
ARE VERY COMMITTED TO PROVIDING
ABORTION CARE- HAVE A VERY HARD
TIME ACCESSING TRAINING THERE IS
NO ACCESS WITHOUT PROVIDERS AND
NINETEEN EIGHTEEN INVEST IN OUR
CAPACITY. TO TRAIN HEALTHCARE
PROVIDERS SO THEY CAN GAIN THE
NECESSARY SKILLS THEY NEED TO
PROVIDE ABORTION CARE
MISCARRIAGE MANAGEMENT OR
CONTRACEPTION. IT'S MEMBERS GET
THE TRAINING THEY WANT PROVIDE
CARE IN UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES

DID WE COME TO THE DOLLAR
AMOUNTS WHICH IS. WHICH IN MY
UNDERSTANDING TWENTY EIGHT
HUNDRED. AND IS IT WOULD BE AN
EIGHT DOLLARS EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT-
THAT PUTS US IN A LITTLE BEHIND
THAT MAKE SOME EQUITABLE THE
CALIBRATION ON ANNUAL BASIS- SO
IT WAS TWO HUNDRED THIRTY FOUR
DOLLARS A MONTH STUDENTS DO WANT
TO EAT EVERY MONTH OF THE YEAR
AND THE WAY YEAH. I AND SO
TWELVE MONTHS VERS RIGHT LOOK AT
THEM THAT'S THE INTENT OKAY. DR
WEBER. SO ACTUALLY HAPPENING
BANG. AS THAT WAS THE GOAL. YEAH
IS A LITTLE BIT LESS THINK OF.
OKAY I'M. HOW ARE WE LIKE GOING
TO ULTIMATELYBUDGET FOR IT
BECAUSE IF YOU'RE ASSUMING THAT
WE HAVE ABOUT NINETY MILLION THE
FOR FIRST YEAR WHAT IF WE HAVE
LIKE STUDENTS THE NEXT YEAR IS
GONNA HAVE TO COME BACK THE
LEGISLATIVE EACH TIME.
HOW YEAH WELL LIKE A LOT OF
BILLS IN THIS KEEPING ALL OF OUR
BILLS- THE GOVERNOR USERS ALIKE
MONEY IN THE- HE DID AND IF
THERE WAS A RACIST- IT WOULD BE
A PROGRAM WHICH SHOULD BE
ADJUSTED EVERY YEAR BASED UPON.
IT'S AN ESTIMATE BY HOW MANY
STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE- YEAR TO
YEAR WE KIND OF KNOW WHAT IT
WOULD BE- YOU KNOW BUT I GUESS
THE BIG. AS WE ARE CONCURRENTLY
BE BOUGHT THIS WITH INTERPLAY.
WITH THE STATE BUDGET ALLOCATION
. OKAY SO THERE'S NO CONCERN OF
GOING OVER REALLY WELL THERE IS
I THINK WE HAVE TO FIND THIS
AND- I THINK THE BIG PICTURE
HERE IS THAT. AB K. PROGRAM. SO
MANY BARRIERS WHICH EXCLUDE
COLLEGE STUDENTS AND IT'S IS
SHOULDN'T BE THAT COMPLICATED
ELIGIBLE BASED UPON YOUR INCOME
MANY TIMES AND THEN YOU'RE
ACCOSTED ON THE CITY YOU CAN
JUMP THROUGH ALL THESE HOOPS AND
SO. EIGHT A LOT BILLS. CALFRESH
TYPE BENEFITS FOR OUR STUDENTS-
IN PERFECT WORLD WE WOULD L.
BEGET DRAWDOWN FEDERAL MONEY FOR

IMMIGRATION STATUS OF COPS. SO
THIS IS ONE OF THE CITY
COMMISSION WORKGROUP IDEAS TO
TRY TO- SIGN. FOR COLLEGE
STUDENTS WELCOME BACK TO
LEGISLATIVE BODY EVERY YEAR IN
THE BUDGETARY ACT. CORRECT OKAY
AND THEN IS THE FOOD IS THE
MONEY SPECIFIC FOR FOOD OR WHAT
IT COULD BE USED FOR ANYTHING
OUT WHAT THE AMENDMENT- I TWO
IT. YES MADE ON. THIS TO- CHECK
TO SEE HOW THEY DID USE THEM-
USING THE EBT PROCESS IS
EXTREMELY COST PROHIBITIVE- SO
THERE ISN'T LIKE SAME KIND OF
FOOD SERVICE CARD. I'M THAT
MISTER INSTITUTION AND THEY WILL
MONITOR THAT AND THEN AFTER TWO
YEARS THEY WILL CHECK BACK IN.
HOW WE CAN GO BACK. HM HOUSE UP
. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS
SPECIFICALLY OR WERE THINKING
THAT THIS IS GOING TO GO FOR
FOOD THEY MAY NOT NECESSARILY
USE DIFFERENT THAT. I HAVE TO
USE IT FOR THAT I. THEY WILL NOT
BE BILLED THERE WILL BE NO
PROHIBITION I MEAN THERE WILL BE
NO RESTRICTIONS ON THE CARD IN

TOWARD TOWARDS THE COLLEGES
UNIQUE MODEL. AND EQUALLY
CRITICAL IS THAT CALIBRATED
FOCUSED ON FIGURING OUT HOW TO
SERVE NONTRADITIONAL STUDENTS ON
FIGHT ON FIGURING OUT COMPETENCY
BASED EDUCATION WITHIN THE
CONTEXT OF THE PUBLIC COMMUNITY
COLLEGE. WE AS ASSIST NEED HELP
RIGHT AND AS PRESIDENT OF THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS I WOULD LIKE
TO SAY THAT THERE IS NO MERIT TO
THE LOGIC THAT DISSOLVING
CALIBRATE AND ALLOCATING ITS
FUNDS ACROSS THE SYSTEM WOULD
SOLVE THE COMPLEX EQUATION FOR
SUPPORTING ADULT LEARNERS. WE
DIDN'T SERVE ADULT LEARNERS WELL
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC AND SYSTEM
WIDE ENROLLMENT NUMBERS INDICATE
THAT WE'RE NOT SERVING THEM WELL
NOW EITHER. NOW IS THE TIME FOR
CALIBRATE FOR INNOVATIVE AND
CREATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SHARED
CHALLENGES NOW IS THE TIME FOR
FLEXIBLE PROGRAMS FOR DEEP
EXPLORATION OF ONLINE EDUCATION
AND SKILLS BASED LEARNING.
ALBERT'S BOARD OF TRUSTEES HAS
THE UTMOST CONFIDENCE IN THE
COLLEGE'S NEW LEADERSHIP AND
STRATEGIC VISION AND WE HAVE
BEEN EXCEEDINGLY IMPRESSED BY
THE TEAM'S PROGRESS DURING THE
SHORT TIME IN THE MIDST OF A
GLOBAL PANDEMIC. ARE FOR THIS
NATION PROVIDED A SEVEN YEAR
START UP PERIOD TO BUILD A NEW
KIND OF COLLEGE FROM THE GROUND
UP AND WE NEED THE IME AND
SPACE DO THE IMPORTANT WORK.
KILBRIDE CARRY SIGNIFICANT VALUE
TO THE SYSTEM. ING IT WOULD HURT
STUDENTS AND WE CAN THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM AS A
WHOLE. I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
IMPORTANT CONVERSATION. I'M
PRESIDENT IN AN AND I ARE HAPPY
TO ANSWER ANY OF YOUR QUESTIONS
. THANK YOU ANY OF THE PEOPLE IN
THE ROOM IN A POSITION YOU CAN-
STATE YOUR TITLE IN THE NAME AND
THE POSITION. THANK YOU DAVID OF
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSED. ANY OTHER
PERSON. HELLO MY NAME IS MICHAEL
STEWART AND I'M A FACULTY MEMBER
AT CAL RIGHT COLLEGE I WORK IN
THE I. T. PROGRAM AND I SERVE AS
THE ACADEMIC SENATE PRESIDENT
FOR CALVARY COLLEGE WE SUPPORT
THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF
COLLEGE AND ARE UNITED BY THE
BELIEF THAT OUR INNOVATIONS IN
ONLINE LEARNING CAN MAKE THE
COLLEGE MORE PERSONAL FLEXIBLE
AND RESPONSIVE TO THE STUDENTS
NEEDS I THINK THAT'S ENOUGH YOUR
POSITION IS- IN OPPOSITION YOU
JUST A STATE MY NAME AND- YOUR
POSITION SORRY THANK THANK YOU.
YEAH ARE ANY OF THE PERSIAN. ALL
RIGHT- COMMITTEE MEMBERS ANY
QUESTIONS OR STATEMENTS. OKAY.
KAMALA HARRIS. I'LL JUST SAY
THAT I THINK THAT THE VAST
MAJORITY OF LEGISLATORS IN THIS
BUILDING. BUT IT'S ALSO OUR
RESPONSIBILITY AS THE
LEGISLATURE TO BE FISCALLY
RESPONSIBLE. AND THE PROGRAM HAS
HAD OVER ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY
MILLION DOLLARS INVESTED WITH
LESS THAN SEVENTY. OUR STUDENTS
ACTUALLY GETTING A CERTIFICATE
SO. THAT IS COMPLETELY. THE
ANTITHESIS OF WHAT FISCALLY
RESPONSIBLE IS IN MY OPINION- SO
I APPLAUD YOUR WORK BUT WE HAVE
TO THINK OF EVERY CALIFORNIA
STUDENT AND DOING WHAT'S BEST
FOR EVERY CALIFORNIA STUDENT- SO
I AM GOING TO SUPPORT THIS BILL
I THINK THAT WE'VE HAD OF IT OF-
RESERVATIONS ABOUT THIS I
APPLAUD THE WORK YOU'VE TRIED TO
DO- BUT IT. AFTER WE NEED. THE
QUESTION WHAT IS THE PLAN TO
THIS SO IF DESTRUCTOID WHAT IS
THE PLAN FOR THE STUDENTS THAT
ARE CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN A
HEALTH. AND I THINK AS WE ARE
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT
IT'LL HAVE ON EVERY DEDICATED
MEMBER OF THE REPRESENTED
FACULTY AND STAFF AT OUR
INSTITUTION THAT WE ARE ALSO
DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT WE'RE IN A
PERIOD OF ENROLLMENT GROWTH. AS
STUDENTS ARE REACHING OUT TO US
AND MORE THAN 90% OF THEM WHEN
WE ASK WHY ARE REACHING OUT
BECAUSE OF THE FLEXIBILITY OF
THE MODEL THESE ARE THE SAME
STUDENTS THAT ARE. SO RESERVE
INSTITUTION OF A PROFOUND IN IN
IN IN IN PACKED FULL INTO THEIR
LIVES THIS IS OFTEN THEIR ONLY.
OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY ACCESS AND
EDUCATIONAL WORK EXPERIENCE AND
AT AT A TIME IN WHICH THE WAY
THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING LABOR
MARKET OPPORTUNITIES THE WAY
THAT THEY'RE EXPERIENCING THE
EDUCATION MARKET IS PROHIBITIVE
FOR THEM AND WE KNOW THIS
BECAUSE WE'RE HEARING IT FROM
OUR STUDENTS RIGHT WE THIS ISN'T
A GAS THIS IS. WE BUT A STUDENTS
BY THE NAME OF BRANDY WHO WORKS
AS AN ASSISTANT AND DOESN'T SEE
ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR UPWARD
MOBILITY BUT FOR OUR CRM PROGRAM
AND THAT THAT HER PURSUIT OF THE
CRM PROGRAM IS UNLOCKING WITHIN
HER ORGANIZATION AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR HER TO GET MORE SUSTAINABLE
WAGES AND EITHER READ LIFE AND
SHATTERING THE SHINS AT THE TOP
WHICH WE ARE ACTUALLY NOT
SUCCEEDING IN SERVING THE
STUDENTS THEIR FOLLY OUT OF OUR
PATIENTS NOT. TO COMMUTE.
SUCCESS FOR THE STUDENTS WILL
HAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON THE
THOUSAND STUDENTS THAT WE HAVE
pHAVE A PROFOUND IMPACT ON OUR
ABILITY TO REALIZE A STRONG
RECESSIONARY RECOVERY NOT JUST
FOR FOLKS YOU WARNING FROM ADULT
LEARNER POPULATIONS BUT-
NATIONWIDE. AND- A WHILE SINCE
WE'VE YOU KNOW NEW COLLEGES OR
WHATEVER HAVE BEEN ESTABLISHED
BUT DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY DATA
ASKED TO LET ME KNOW HOW- HOW
LONG IT USUALLY TAKES FOR A
BRAND NEW COLLEGE OR SYSTEM TO
BE- SIX ESTO AND FINANCIALLY
PROP. IT'S A IT'S A GREAT
QUESTION AT THANKS FOR ASKING
AND I THINK A COUPLE THINGS TO
NOTE ONE IS AND WE'RE ONLY
HALFWAY THROUGH OUR SEVEN YEAR
START UP. WINDOW SO THE
LEGISLATURE ANTICIPATED THAT IT
WOULD TAKE SEVEN YEARS FOR US TO
DEVELOP AND ESTABLISH A SCALABLE
SOLUTION THAT COULD THEN DIAL
OUR PROPONENTS WE'VE EXCEEDED
PROGRESS IN THAT REGARD BY
SETTING UP STRONG FOUNDATION
THAT ALLOWS TYLENOL. OKAY THE
TIME WHEN WE ARE CAN. FALLOUT OF
EDGE GEN A- VERY FEW EXAMPLES OF
OTHER INSTEAD. THAT ACTUALLY
BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP ALL THE
THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED TO
REALLY. UP THE USER. NINE THE
STEW. CENTER AT YOU KNOW THE
NEEDS AND THE AND THE CONDITIONS
AND EXPERIENCES OF STUDENTS HOLD
THE MOST IMPORTANT SEAT AT THE
TABLE MS OF DESIGNING THE
EDUCATIONAL OFFERING. M. ANOTHER
EXAMPLE OF THAT IS WESTERN
GOVERNORS UNIVERSITY'S WHEN WE
LOOK AT THE GROWTH TRAJECTORY OF
WESTERN GOVERNORS UNIVERSITY'S.
YOU KNOW FOLKS WERE. WILLING
VERY EARLY IN THE PROCESS TO
HOLD THEM OUT FOR THE COUNT AND
FOUR YEARS LATER THEY ONLY HAD A
HANDFUL OF GRADUATES. YOU SEE
WHERE THEY'VE BECOME NOW THIS
CAN BE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A
PUBLIC POLLUTION LIKE THAT HERE
IN CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU. ANY OF
THE QUESTIONS. OKAY I THINK I IN
IT THIS IS SO NOT A OUR QUESTION
NOW BUT THAT MIGHT- A STATEMENT-
I WAS SO SHOCKED WHEN I- WENT
ABOUT THIS BILL- THAT THE- CARE
BRIGHT THE L. ONLINE COLLEGE I
THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS STOLEN
FUTURE TREND BUT THE- NOW Y.
ASSISTER LOW ENROLLMENT AND NOW
HAS NOT BEEN. SUCCESSFUL AT THAT
THE WITH THE UP AND THEN MAKE A
THE PEOPLE I THOUGHT THE
STUDENTS WERE USED TO NOW ONLINE
CLASSES AND THOUGH IT WOULD
BECOME RICHER- FOR LEARNING BUT
THE- THEY IN THERE ARE MORE
BEHAVIORS SO A SECOND. AND IN
THERE AND OF- TO SAFEGUARD OUR
FUNDS SET TO BE MORE EFFICIENTLY
USED AND- FOR THAT- I WOULD BE-
