FAMILY THERAPIST AS WELL- THAT
HAVE TO GO THROUGH TWO YEARS OF
UNPAID WORK IT'S AN UNPAID
INTERNSHIP THAT IS REQUIRED OF
THEM TO DO THROUGHOUT THEIR- AND
SCHOOLING RIGHT RIGHT NOW YOU'RE
HEARING LEFT AND RIGHT THAT WE
NEED MORE MENTAL THERAPIST IN
OUR HOSPITALS MEAN THEM IN OUR
SCHOOLS WE NEED THEM HELPING TO
ADDRESS OUR HOMELESS CRISIS. BUT
REYES HAPPENING IS HOW ARE WE
INCENTIVIZING THESE INDIVIDUALS
TO GET INTO THIS FIELD WE'RE
ASKING THEM TO DO THIS FOR TWO
YEARS WITHOUT GETTING PAID. OFF
THEN YOU'RE SEEN INDIVIDUALS
THAT GO TO GRADUATE SCHOOL FULL
TIME HAVE TO DO AN UNPAID
INTERNSHIP AND THEN STILL HAVE
TO GET A PAID JOB BECAUSE YOU
WILL YOU STILL HAVE TO PAY THE
BILLS. SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING AND
THAT'S B. LEVIN IS TWO DIFFERENT
THINGS ONE IS THAT WE'RE LOOKING
TO GREAT TO THE FIRST EVER OF
ITS KIND A CSU MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS OCT WE'RE WE'RE
INCENTIVIZING OUR STUDENTS WHICH
WE KNOW THE CSU CREATES A
MAJORITY OF OUR WORK FIRST
ENTRANCE MAJORITY OF
CALIFORNIANS WORKFORCE. TO
CREATE AN INCENTIVE WHERE WORK
PROVIDING PAID INTERNSHIPS FOR
INDIVIDUALS TO GET INTO THIS
FIELD I'M SO PROUD THAT DURING
YOU KNOW THROUGH THIS BUDGET WE-
FOUGHT FOR THE PREVENTION OF THE
DELAYS IN THIS WORK FORCE
BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW DIRE. THE
SITUATION IS IN GETTING THESE
INDIVIDUALS TO WORK ALSO SB
ELEVEN PART ONE OF THE
PROVISIONS AND STRUCTURE WE
CREATE AN INCENTIVE. TO GET THEM
TRAINED READY TO GO THAT SEEKS
TO CONDEMN RETAINER BRING BACK
THESE WORKERS TO WORK IN THEIR
BACKYARDS BECAUSE IT'S- A BIT
ADDS UP. ADDED. LAYER OF- HI I
GUESS IF YOU WELL IF HAVING FAIR
. THAT ARE WORK IN THE CA. THEY
WERE TO IN THE WORKING IN THE
COMMUNITIES THAT THEY ARE FROM.
ADDITIONALLY WE ALSO WANT TO
SUPPORT THE IN THE STUDENTS THAT
ARE AT SEA ISSUES- CURRENTLY ARE
MAJOR CEASE USE ACROSS THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA HAVE A REALLY.
HORRENDOUS RATIO OF COUNSELORS-
I MYSELF HAVE EXPERIENCED A WAIT
FOR MENTAL HEALTH- I EXPLAIN TO
YOU. FOUR TIMES SCHOOL FULL TIME
WORK INTERNSHIP THAT CAN BRING A
LOT OF STRESS WHEN INDIVIDUAL
THAT COULD POTENTIALLY DETER
THEM FROM CONTINUING WHAT WE'RE
SEEING IS THAT STUDENTS ARE
WAITING UPWARDS OF FOUR MONTHS.
FOR A MENTAL HEALTH
APPOINTMENTS- FOR. SOME EXAMPLES
TO SHARE WITH YOU IS THAT ONE OF
THE WORST NUMBERS WERE SEEN AS
THAT CSU LA. THERE'S A
1-230-007-0018 STUDENT RATIO AND
THAT'S WHERE WE'RE SEEING
UPWARDS OF FOUR MONTHS OF A WAIT
TO SEE A THERAPIST SO S. B. LAB
IN THE SECOND PART IS LOOKING TO
DO IS CREATE A RATIO. A RATIO OF
A THOUSAND TO FIFTEEN HUNDRED
STUDENTS TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE
BEING SEEN AT THE CORRECT. TIME
WE YOU PROBABLY HAVE ALL HEARD
THAT WE'RE SEEING THE HIGHEST OF
THE HIGHEST RATES OF ANXIETY
DEPRESSION AMONGST OUR YOUTH AND
OUR YOUNGER ADULTS- COUPLE THAT
ALL TOGETHER IT'S GOING TO BE
VERY DIFFICULT FOR THEM. TO
CONTINUE IN THE PROFESSION.
WITHOUT A MISTER CHAIRED LIKE TO
TURNER- TO TWO WITNESSES THAT I
HAVE HERE WITH ME THEY CAN
SPECULATE SPEAK A LITTLE BIT
MORE ON THIS. WELCOME THANK YOU
COMPLETELY. HI MY NAME IS JASON
CONWELL AND I'M SPEAKING HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA FACULTY
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF SB
ELEVEN AND AS FOR THE TWO
HUNDRED SEVENTY MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELORS WE REPRESENT THE
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY. IN
ONE OF MY ROLES I SERVICE STAFF
TO THE CFA COUNSELORS COMMITTEE.
AND IN THAT ROLE I MEET
REGULARLY WITH COUNSELORS FROM
ACROSS THE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY AND I'VE DONE SO FOR
MOST OF THE PAST SIXTEEN YEARS.
I'VE MET HUNDREDS OF MENTAL
HEALTH COUNSELORS IN THE CSU AND
THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST
IMPRESSIVE PEOPLE I'VE EVER MET.
THEY'RE EMPATHETIC HARDWORKING
AND DEDICATED PROFESSIONALS WHO
UP ARE COLLEGE STUDENTS WHEN THE
STUDENTS ARE AT THE LOWEST POINT
OF THEIR LIVES. OUR COUNSELORS
ARE HONORABLE PEOPLE WHO ENGAGE
IN CRITICAL AND OFTEN LIFESAVING
WORK. BUT THEY NEED HELP. DURING
MY SIXTEEN YEARS TO SEE IF THEY
HAVE WATCHES COUNSELORS HAVE
BEEN PRESSURED TO HOLD MORE AND
MORE ONE ON ONE SESSIONS WITH
STUDENTS. AND EXCEEDING ANY
REALISTIC EXPECTATION OF THE CAT
OF THE CAPACITY OF THEM TO
SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS. I'VE
WATCHED AS COUNSELING CENTERS
ACROSS THE STATE ELIMINATED
PERMANENT COUNCIL POSITIONS AND
REPLACE THEM WITH COUNTERS
WORKING ON TEMPORARY
APPOINTMENTS. I WATCHED AS THE
MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS OF THE CSU
STUDENTS HAVE INCREASED
EXPONENTIALLY BOTH BEFORE THE
PANDEMIC AND HAS AND ACCELERATED
SINCE THE PANDEMIC. I WATCHED AS
MORE AND MORE OF OUR COUNSELORS
HAVE BECOME TIRED AND BURNED OUT
TRYING TO HELP EVERY STUDENT
THAT NEEDS MENTAL HEALTH
SUPPORT. TOO FREQUENTLY I SEE
GOOD COUNTERS LEAVE THE CSU FOR
MORE REASON THE WORKLOAD BETTER
PAY AND MORE JOB SECURITY
ELSEWHERE. WELL WHAT'S ALL THAT
SOLVE EVERYTHING SB ELEVEN WILL
HELP ADDRESS THESE PROBLEMS OVER
HALF THE CAMPUS IS IN THE CSU DO
NOT MEET THE FIFTEEN HUNDRED
ONE. FACT THE STUDENT RATIO
REQUIRED IN SB A LOT ELEVEN.
WITH SEVEN OF OUR COUNSELORS CAL
CAMPUSES HAVING A RATIO THAT IS
AT LEAST 50% WORSE. THAN THE
FIFTEEN HUNDRED TO ONE RATIO.
THIS BILL WILL HELP INCREASE
ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELORS IN THE CSU FOR
STUDENTS. WHO ARE SIMPLY NOT
PROVIDED THE ACCESS THEY NEED TO
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT. SB ELEVEN
WILL ALSO CREATE NEW INCENTIVES
AND FUNDING FOR STUDENTS WHO
WANT TO DEVELOP A CAREER IN
MENTAL HEALTH. AND CALIFORNIA
NEED GREATER ACCESS TO MENTAL
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.
RESPECTFULLY ARJUN AYE VOTE ON
SB ELEVEN THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS KIMBERLY ROSENBERGER
WITH SEIU CALIFORNIA. UP HERE'S
A PUB CO SPONSOR OF SB ELEVEN WE
BELIEVE IN THE IMPORTANCE NOT
JUST. OF A PUBLIC INSTITUTION
BUT ONE THAT SERVES A STUDENT
POPULATION THAT IS AS UNIQUE AND
DIFFERENT OUR STATE. IS A
CORNERSTONE OF THE CSU BUT IT'S
ALSO ONE OF THE REASONS WE
BELIEVE THE RESOURCES PROVIDED
SB ELEVEN ARE SO IMPORTANT.
STUDENTS TODAY ARE FACING A
MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS. OF
UNPARALLELED LEVELS- MANY OTHER
FORMATIVE YEARS IN HIGH SCHOOL
UNIVERSITY HAPPENED DURING THE
PANDEMIC- AND THAT'S COUPLED
WITH SKYROCKETING COST OF LIVING
WHICH HAS LEFT A NUMBER OF
STUDENTS. FOOD AND HOUSING
INSECURITY. THESE ISSUES ARE ALL
THE MORE AMPLIFIED AT CSU
CAMPUSES THE HISTORICALLY SERVE
A DIVERSE STUDENT POPULATION
WITH THE CSU STUDENT BEING TWICE
AS LIKELY TO BE HOMELESS AS A UC
STUDENT. THE RATIO WE RECOMMEND
IS BASED OFF THE INTERNATIONAL
CREATION OF COUNSELING SERVICES
WHICH CONTINUES TO RECOMMEND A
RATIO OF ONE TO ONE THOUSAND TO
ONE TO ONE. FIVE FIFTEEN
HUNDRED. SO THIS RECOMMENDATION
THE FLOOR- WHEN WE ARE HEARING
FROM STUDENTS OF ACCESS WAIT
TIMES OR INABILITY TO ACCESS
ACCOUNTS ARE ALL TOGETHER. BUT
IT TURNS THEM FROM USING CSU
RESOURCES. AND WE THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO ESTABLISH A FLOOR
SO WE CAN START TO SERVE THE
STUDENT POPULATION THAT WE KNOW
NEEDS THE SERVICES. THE CLINICAL
LOW THAT'S AND- LOOKS AT YOU.
BUT WE KNOW THAT IF THE STUDENTS
AREN'T USING CSU COUNSELORS WE
CAN'T ADEQUATELY IN MEANINGFULLY
ASSESS THAT SO FIRST AND
FOREMOST WE BELIEVE WE NEED TO
JUST GET THE NUMBERS. TO AN
APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF THIS BILL
LOOKS NOT ONLY TO ESTABLISH A
RATIO BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY LOOKS
TO HELP ADDRESS THE WORKFORCE
PIPELINE. IT'S ENCOURAGING THE
FUTURE WORK FORCE TO LOOK AT THE
PUBLIC SECTOR- INCLUDING CSU.
BUT IT'S ALSO ENSURING THAT
DURING THEIR TIME AT THE CSU
THEY'RE NOT ADDING TO THE NUMBER
OF STUDENTS THAT ARE HOMELESS.
AND FOOD INSECURE AND FOR THOSE
REASONS WE STRONGLY SUPPORT THIS
BILL AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT IN THE
HEARING ROOM. CALIFORNIA STATE.
THE STOCK. APRISTA HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE- STATE ASSIST OF
PSYCHIATRISTS SUPPORT THANK YOU

WELCOME. TO YEP TWO MINUTES.
MARY MORE WITH THE CSU WE HAVE
BEEN IN TOUCH WITH THE AUTHOR'S
OFFICE AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK
HER FOR HER HER STAFF TIME ON
THIS. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR
ANALYSIS. RESPECTFULLY WE DO
HAVE A OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED
POSITION. WE DO SUPPORT THE IDEA
OF THE CSU MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS ACT WHICH WOULD
ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO PURSUE A
CAREER IN THE MENTAL HEALTH
FIELD HOWEVER WE DO REMAIN
OPPOSED TO THE STAFFING RATIO IN
THE IN THE BILL. OUR STUDENTS
WELL BEING IS AT THE OF UTMOST
IMPORTANCE TO US AND WE HAVE
HEAVILY INVESTED IN EXPANDING OR
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE SERVICES.
IN IN RECENT YEARS WE ARE PROUD
THAT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
INCREASE OUR NUMBER OF COUNTY
COUNCILLORS BY MORE THAN 34%
FOUR YEARS AGO WE HAD A RATIO OF
ONE CAMP COUNSELOR PER. TWO
THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX
STUDENTS TODAY IT IS ONE CAN'T
COUNSELOR PER ONE THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SIX STUDENTS
EVERY CAMPUS EITHER HAS A- CAL
COUNSELOR WHO IS FLOATING EACH
DAY OR SET ASIDE A NUMBER OF
APPOINTMENTS LOTS IN ORDER TO BE
AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS. WHO COME
TO THE CENTER AND CRISIS. AND
NEED TO BE SEEN ON THAT SAME
DAY. THIS CASES WHERE UNITED AS
BEING IN CRISIS OUR AVERAGE WAIT
TIME ACROSS THE SYSTEM TO SIGN
UP FOR ONE ON ONE. AT SIR
SERVICES IS APPROXIMATELY TWO
WEEKS. WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE
TO WORK TO IMPROVE AND EXPAND
OUR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICE FOR.
US STUDENTS BUT THE RATIO
MANDATE IS NOT NEEDED AND
ESPECIALLY NOT HELPFUL WITHOUT
FUNDING ATTACHED. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. WHETHER ANY
ADDITIONAL WITNESSES IN
OPPOSITION AN ERROR. ARE THERE
ANY ITS WINNERS. IN THE HEARING
ROOM. HER COLLEAGUES COMMITTEE
MEMBERS ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS. THE RIVER MOTION. I'M
SORRY WE HAVE A SOURCE OF THE
CONTENT THREAT- THANK YOU SO
MUCH APPROVING IS FORWARD-
REALLY APPRECIATE. THE WORKING
EFFORTS HERE AND- A PROVIDES A
CONCEPT YOU FEEL LIKE THE
CLOTHES- OKAY- WE DO YOU KNOW WE
HAVE WORKED WITH THE CSU ON
THIS- THE RACIAL PART IS
SOMETHING THAT THIS COMMITTEE
SPECIFICALLY HAS VOTED ON BEFORE
WITH DOCTOR PRANCE BILL.
ALTHOUGH I DID GET BEAT OVER
TRYING AGAIN- AND PERHAPS THE
NUMBER THAT WE SHARED FROM THE
OPPOSITION IS A AGGREGATE OF THE
ENTIRE SCHOOLS BUT IF YOU BREAK
IT DOWN PER SCHOOL LIKE I
MENTIONED CSU IS. 50% ABOVE- WE
HAVE A LIST OF THERE'S ABOUT
EIGHT SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE
IS STILL HAVE A LOT OF THAT HAVE
A HIGHER RATIO ON THAT IS
COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE- WITH
THAT I STILL THINK THOUGH WE
STILL BELIEVE THAT THE RATIO IS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT
OUR STUDENTS. ARE GETTING MENTAL
HEALTH- AT AN ACCURATE ADEQUATE
TIME I WITH I RESPECTFULLY WANT
TO HAVE A COMMITTEE
INAPPROPRIATE- RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR MICHAEL. THANK YOU SO MUCH
SENATOR LETTER THANK YOU THE
AUTHOR FOR INJURED IS VERY BILL
A WELL VERY. SUPPORTIVE OF THE
OVERALL POLICY FRAMEWORK
PROVIDING MENTAL HEALTH
RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS AT THE
CSU SYSTEM FOR DIFFERENT
OPINIONS ON THE BASELINE RATIO
ONE OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED AS A
FLOOR. AND ALSO LOOK AT THE SOME
ISSUES ON FUNDING SO I THINK HAS
POLICY MOVES FORWARD RELATE TO
THE- CONTINUE TO ADVOCATE ON
THE- ON THE FUNDING SIDE AS WELL
AND SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
BRING THE SUPPORT MEASURE FOR.
AND I LOOK FOR SUPPORTING THIS
BILL ONCE WE OF COURSE. THANK
YOU THANK YOU. HER READ NICK UP
IS. CENTER PARTED. WITH A SIX
FORTY ITEM SIX. WELCOME CENTER
PORTANTINO. THANK THEM THANK YOU
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS I USED TO
CHAIR THIS COMMITTEE AND FINALLY
THIS IS MY FAVORITE. COMMITTEE
ROOM. SOME HAPPY TO BE BACK
YEAH. I AM PROUD TO PRESENT SB
SIX FORTY WHICH WILL REQUIRE
BUSINESS ENTITIES THAT WISH TO
ENTER INTO FOOD SERVICE OR
HOSPITALITY SERVICE CONTRACTS
WITH THE CSU. AND IT'S AUXILLARY
FIRST BEING A LABOR PEACE
AGREEMENT WITH THE APPROPRIATE.
UNION THE CSU CONTINUES TO PLAN
HOSPITALITY DEVELOPMENTS IN
CONTRACTING THROUGH PRIVATE
AUXILIARIES THESE ARE GENEROUS
PARTICIPATING PRIVATE
DEVELOPMENT AND PRIVATE
CONTRACTING FOR FOOD SERVICES
HOTELS AND EVEN CENTERS ON
BEHALF OF THE UNIVERSITY SOP UP
SUCH OPERATIONS AND COUNTER
STRIKES PICKETS AND BOYCOTTS
INITIATED BY WORKERS IN THESE
PROFESSIONS. AS THE CSU
CONTINUES TO EXPAND OPERATIONS
SUCH AS DISRUPTION SUCH
DISRUPTIONS WILL CONTINUE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA IS A BOT IS A
OBLIGATED TO PROTECT THE
INTERESTS OF UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
AND TAXPAYERS BY TAKING MEASURES
TO LIMIT DISRUPTIONS. TO THE
BUSINESS OF A CAMPUS IN ENTERING
A LABOR PEACE AGREEMENT THE CSU
ITS AUXILIARIES AND ASSOCIATED
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS PREVENT HAVE
MECHANISMS IN PLACE TO AVOID
DISRUPTIVE ACTIONS AND ENSURE
THAT STATE AND INTEREST CAN
CONTINUE FULFILLING ITS MISSION
CONTINUOUSLY. AND WITHOUT
INTERRUPTION WITH ME TODAY I AM
BROWN RAP FROM THE CALIFORNIA
FACULTY ASSOCIATION AND I
BELIEVE WITH THIS YEAR SAUCEDO A
PROFESSOR OF LAW FROM UC DAVIS
AND WHEN APPROPRIATE AND WHEN
YOU HAVE A QUORUM WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AND I BOTH.
THANK YOU SO MUCH WELCOME. GOOD
AFTERNOON CHAIR FONG AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY NAME IS RON
RAP ON THE LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR
FOR THE CALIFORNIA FACULTY
ASSOCIATION SPEAKING IN SUPPORT
OF SB SIX FORTY- THE CFA
REPRESENTS OVER TWENTY NINE
THOUSAND FACULTY INCLUDING
TENURE TRACK PROFESSORS
LECTURERS FACULTY. LIBRARIANS
COUNSELORS AND COACHES FROM ALL
TWENTY THREE CAMPUSES OF THE CSU
SYSTEM. CFA BELIEVES IT SB SIX
FORTY WOULD BE BEN. TO THE C. AS
SHE SYSTEM BECAUSE THAT SEEKS TO
ENHANCE LABOR PEACE THROUGH THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF LABOR PEACE
AGREEMENTS WITH AND FOOD SERVICE
CONTRACTS AND HOTEL DEVELOPMENT
PROJECTS. AS YOU KNOW HIGHER
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE
NOT BEEN IMMUNE FROM LABOR
STRIKES IN RECENT YEARS.
DISRUPTIONS RESULTING FROM SUCH
LABOR CONFLICTS HAVE PROFOUND
IMPACTS FROM CANCEL CLASSES TO
DELAYED GRADING ALL OF WHICH AND
HAVE IT OUR PRIMARY MISSION OF
EDUCATION. SB SIX FORTY PROVIDES
A CLEAR MECHANISM TO MINIMIZE
THESE DISRUPTIONS BY MANDATING
LABOR PEACE AGREEMENTS- WITH CSU
EXPANDING HOSPITALITY AND FOOD
SERVICE SECTORS WE ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT A NUMBER OF CSU CAMPUSES
CURRENTLY CONTRACT THEIR FOOD
SERVICE AND HOSPITALITY PROGRAMS
TO SERVICE MANAGEMENT COMPANIES.
WHILE OTHERS OPERATE THESE
SERVICES AND HOUSE HOWEVER
REGARDLESS OF THE OPERATIONAL
STRUCTURE WE BELIEVE THAT
FOSTERING LABOR PEACE IS
ESSENTIAL FOR CONTINUITY OF
SERVICES AND THE OVERALL
STABILITY OF OUR CAMPUSES. WE
ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT CSU OPERATES
TWO HOTELS AND IS PLANNING FOR
ADDITIONAL ONES ENSURING LABOR
PEACE WITHIN THESE FACILITIES IS
EQUALLY CRITICAL STUDENTS
FACULTY STAFF AND VISITORS TO
UTILIZE THESE ESTABLISHMENTS
SHOULD NOT BE INCONVENIENCED BY
LABOR CONFLICTS. IT IS FOR THESE
REASONS THE CFA SUPPORTS SB SIX
FORTY AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST
YOUR VOTE THANK YOU. THANK YOU
SO MUCH. GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME'S THAT THE SENSE OF SEVEN
I'M A PROFESSOR OF LAW AT UC
DAVIS SCHOOL OF LAW- AND I'M THE
CO DIRECTOR OF THE LABOR AND
COMMUNITY CENTER AT UC DAVIS I
TEACH LABOR LAW EMPLOYMENT LAW
AND TORTS AT THE LAW SCHOOL AND
I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE NATIONAL
LABOR RELATIONS ACT. AND ITS
IMPLEMENTATION I HAVE A-
PROFESSIONAL INTEREST IN MATTERS
THAT ARE RELATED TO- THE
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT
BECAUSE IT'S PART OF WHAT I
TEACH- I HAVE THREE POINTS TO
MAKE TODAY- FIRST THE STATE HAS
THE ABILITY TO REQUIRE THE USE
OF THESE LABOR PEACE POLICIES
BECAUSE IT'S ACTING IN ITS
PROPRIETARY CAPACITY. OTHER
KELSEY SYSTEM HAS A REAL
INTEREST IN ENSURING THAT THE
SERVICES THAT IT CONTRACTS TO BE
PROVIDED ON ITS PROPERTY ARE
COMPLETED WITH AS LITTLE
DISRUPTION AS POSSIBLE TO ITS
EDUCATIONAL MISSION. THE STATE
IS EXERCISING A PROPRIETARY
INTEREST IN THE BILL BY ENSURING
THAT EMPLOYERS AND UNIONS
OPERATING ON CSU PROPERTY ENTER
INTO AGREEMENTS TO AVOID
DISRUPTIONS FROM LABOR ACTIONS.
WITHOUT THESE TYPES OF
AGREEMENTS THE NATIONAL LABOR
RELATIONS ACT WOULD ALLOW LABOR
STRIKES PICKETS ACTIONS
BOYCOTTS. ALL OF WHICH ARE PART
OF THE ACCEPTED METHODS FOR
NEGOTIATION BETWEEN ENTITIES
WITHOUT LABOR PEACE AGREEMENTS.
THE CLC ALSO HAS A FINANCIAL
INTEREST IN THE REVENUES THAT
COME FROM THE SERVICE CONTRACTS
AND THESE LABOR ACTIONS COULD
DISRUPT THESE FINANCIAL
INTERESTS. SECOND THE BILL
DOESN'T IMPOSE ANY FORM OF
NEGOTIATION ON ENTITIES SEEKING
TO DO BUSINESS ON THE CSU
PROPERTIES. THAT IS THE
NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE BUSINESS
ON THE UNION FOR- LABOR PEACE
AGREEMENTS IS OUTSIDE THE SCOPE
OF THE BILL. THIS BILL SIMPLY
REQUIRES IS THAT BUSINESSES SEEK
AGREEMENTS FROM LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS THAT REPRESENT OR
SEEK TO REPRESENT- WORKERS IN
THAT INDUSTRY. THIRD OF LABOR
PEACE AGREEMENTS ARE NOT
UNCOMMON NATIONALLY OR IN THE
STATE- THEY'VE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY
IMPLEMENTED AT VARIOUS SITES
INCLUDING- THE LOS ANGELES AND
SAN FRANCISCO AIRPORTS- THE
STATES OF NEW YORK MAYOR ANNA
AND MARYLAND- L. A. X. LONG
BEACH. SANTA MONICA MALIBU AND
SCHOOL DISTRICT SANTA MONICA
COLLEGE. LOS ANGELES COUNTY THE
PORT OF OAKLAND- THE BART

STUDENT ASSOCIATION. AS
MENTIONED IN THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS WE DO HAVE SOME
QUESTIONS ABOUT UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES THAT THIS BILL MAY
HAVE ON STUDENTS. PARTICULARLY
RELATED TO COSTS AND THEIR OWN
EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES. MANY
OF OUR STUDENT BODY
ORGANIZATIONS ACTUALLY OVERSEE
CONTRACTS WITH FOOD SERVICE
PROVIDERS ON CAMPUS AND SO
BECAUSE OF THAT WE BELIEVE
ADDITIONAL TIME IS NEEDED TO
FULLY ANALYZE THOSE IMPACTS

YOU VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR IN
MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO FIRST- THANK
YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR WORKING
WITH ME ON THIS IMPORTANT BILL
SB EIGHT AWAIT IS ABOUT
INCREASING TRANSPARENCY. IN THE
TYRONE I PROCESS THE CALIFORNIA
STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM
REQUIRING IN REPORTING OF
INVESTIGATIONS AND OUTCOMES OF
SEXUAL HARASSMENT REPORTS
INFORMAL COMPLAINTS AT EACH
CAMPUS AND THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE AT THE- END AT THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE.
INVESTIGATIVE JOURNALISM AND
INDEPENDENT REPORTS HAVE SHOWN
SYSTEMATIC INCONSISTENT
MISHANDLING OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT
AND ASSAULT CASES ACROSS THE CSU
SYSTEM. INCLUDING A COLLEGES IN
BIO DISTRICT THE BILL SHINES A
LIGHT ON THE PROCESS OF THAT
PROCESS AND GATHERS DATA
NECESSARY TO SHAPE REFORMS OF
THE TITLE NINE OUR COLLEGE
CAMPUSES. THE SERIOUSNESS OF
THIS ONGOING PROBLEM CANNOT BE
UNDERSTATED AND WE CANNOT LET
THOSE ABUSES CONTINUE TO BE
SWEPT UNDER THE RUG BY SENIOR
ADMINISTRATORS AB TWO WITNESSES
HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL
TODAY. A LEASE SEE- LEGISLATIVE
ADVOCATE ON BEHALF OF THE CITY
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
EMPLOYEES UNION AND ROD ROD
WRAPPED LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR
WITH THE CALIFORNIA FACULTY
ASSOCIATION. THANK YOU SO MUCH
WELL. THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS- MY NAME IS LESLIE I'M
AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
CSU EMPLOYEES UNION WHICH
REPRESENTS SIXTEEN THOUSAND NON
FACULTY STAFF AT THE CSU WERE A
PROUD CO SPONSOR OF SB EIGHT
AWAIT WHEN I THINK SENATOR DODD
FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD- AS A
SENATOR MENTIONED AN INCREASING
NUMBER OF MEDIA REPORTS OF THE
LAST FEW YEARS HAVE EXPOSED THE
FAILINGS OF THE SEAS USE TITLE
NINE SYSTEM. HIGHLIGHTING A NEED
FOR SYSTEMIC REFORM.
ESTABLISHING AN ANNUAL REPORTING
IS AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP
TOWARDS CORRECTING THE EXISTING
ISSUES. AS IT WILL HELP THE
LEGISLATURE IDENTIFY WHERE
FURTHER INVESTIGATION MIGHT BE
NEEDED AND DIRECT RESOURCES
ACCORDINGLY. AND AS A STATE IN
THE IN THE COMMITTEE AND ALSO AS
THE REPORTING WILL ALSO HELP
FILL DATA AND INFORMATION GAPS
THAT WERE NOTED IN THIS USE USE
INTERNAL TITLE NINE THOUGHT IT.
EVERYONE ON THE CSU CAMPUS
DESERVES TO LIVE WORK AND LEARN
IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT WE BELIEVE
THIS WILL HELP ACHIEVE THAT. UP
FOR THESE REASONS WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR I.
ABOUT THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
WELCOME THANK YOU A GOOD
AFTERNOON AGAIN RON ROUTE FROM
THE CALIFORNIA FACULTY
ASSOCIATION. I'M SPEAKING IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF SB EIGHT OH
WAIT- THE CALIFORNIA FACULTY
ASSOCIATION IS A PROUD CO
SPONSOR OF THIS IMPORTANT
LEGISLATION. SB EIGHT OH EIGHT
IS A BILL THAT WILL ENSURE
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
FOR CSU ADMINISTRATORS REGARDING
SEXUAL MISCONDUCT ON THEIR
CAMPUSES. THE CSU CAMPUSES ARE
BOTH WORKPLACES AND LEARNING
SPACES EMPLOYEES ARE NOT ABLE TO
PERFORM AT THEIR BEST NOR
STUDENTS ABLE TO LEARN TO THEIR
FULL POTENTIAL WHEN THEY FEEL
UNSAFE. MANY OF OUR MEMBERS
REPORT THAT MANY OF OUR CAMPUSES
ARE NOT CURRENTLY SAFE. RECENT
MEDIA REPORTS OF CALL PUBLIC
ATTENTION TO THE PROBLEM THAT IS
ALL TOO FAMILIAR FOR MANY
FACULTY STAFF AND STUDENTS
ACROSS THE CSU. SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AND SEXUAL ASSAULT-
AT THE DEMOCRATA CAMPUSES WHILE
WE HAVE TITLE NINE DIRECTORS HR
OFFICES. AND ON SOME CAMPUSES
SURVIVOR ADVOCATES ARE POLICIES
IN THE WAYS THEY AREN'T ACTIVE
FALL SHORT OF PROTECTING
SURVIVORS AND ALLOWED MINISTER
RAIDERS. WHO KNOWING ARKHAM. IN
ABUSE TO HIDE BEHIND FALLACIOUS
ARGUMENTS SOME PERSONAL
JUSTIFICATION. IT'S TIME DEMAND
TO DEMAND BETTER. SB EIGHT AWAIT
PROVIDES LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT
OVER THE C. ISSUE AS IT WILL
REQUIRE CAMPUSES TO REPORT THE
NUMBER OF SEXUAL HARASSMENT
CLAIMS FILED. THE DURATION OF
THE INVESTIGATION AND THE REAL
RESULTS OF THOSE CASES SB EIGHT
OH EIGHT WOULD ALSO REQUIRE THE
C. ISSUE TO POST THESE REPORTS
ON THEIR WEBSITE. CAMPUSES HAVE
BEEN FAILING SURVIVORS THE
LEGISLATIVE OVERSIGHT IS AN
IMPORTANT STEP IN CREATING
TRANSPARENCY AROUND THESE
PROCESSES ESPECIALLY WHEN
INVESTIGATIONS DRAG OUT OVER
MONTHS AND EVEN YEARS WHICH
RESULTS IN A KIND OF SECONDARY
INSTITUTIONAL TRAUMA FROM
SURVIVORS WHO ENGAGE THE
INVESTIGATION PROCESS. AND AN
ATTEMPT TO TELL THEIR STORIES
AND SEEK SUPPORT SUPPORT OF
MEASURES TO PROTECT THEMSELVES
FROM FURTHER ABUSE. SB EIGHT OH
EIGHT IS AN IMPORTANT STEP
FORWARD IN CREATING PERSONAL
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR
ADMINISTRATORS WHO IN THE PAST
HAVE IGNORED AND IN SOME CASES
WORK TO SILENCE THE PLEASE OF
FACULTY STAFF AND STUDENTS
SURVIVORS. WHO DESERVE TO FEEL
SAFE AND RESPECTED I
RESPECTFULLY I RESPECTFULLY
REQUEST THAT YOU SUPPORT
SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL MISCONDUCT
ON THE CSU CAMPUSES BY HELPING
US CREATE A MUCH NEEDED CLIMATE
OF ACCOUNTABILITY. TRANSPARENCY
AND INTEGRITY ON OUR CAMPUSES I

PRESENT AS BEFORE THIRTY THREE
TODAY AND I WANT TO START BY
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS. INTO THANKED THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THEIR WORK
ON THIS BILL SB FOUR THROUGH
THIRTY FOUR THIRTY THREE
PROVIDES PARITY TO CLASSIFIED
EMPLOYEES IN SCHOOLS BY
GUARANTEEING THAT THEIR
DISCIPLINARY APPEALS ARE HEARD
BY NON-BIASED THIRD PARTY
HEARING OFFICER. UNDER CURRENT
LAW. TEACHERS ALREADY HAVE THIS
RIGHT- THE K. TWELVE TEACHER
CHOOSES TO PEEL THE DISCIPLINARY
DECISION MADE BY THE DISTRICT
IT'S OVERSEEN BY THE COMMISSION
ON PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY ARE
ALSO GUARANTEED A THIRD PARTY
ARBITRATOR PAID FOR BY THE
DISTRICT CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES
HOWEVER ARE NOT GUARANTEED THE
SAME RIGHT UNDER CURRENT LAW.
THIS SYSTEM IS NOT EQUITABLE AND
IT DENIES MANY EMPLOYEES A FAIR
HEARING WELL CLASSIFIED
EMPLOYEES REPRESENTED BY UNIT
CAN COLLECTIVELY BARGAIN FOR
THIRD PARTY HEARING OFFICER THE
BEST MAJORITY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO DO SO. SB FOUR THIRTY THREE
PROVIDES CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES OF
THE SAME RIGHT IS K. TWELVE
TEACHERS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FACULTY IN MANY OTHER PUBLIC
EMPLOYEES. THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
OF CLARIFY THE DEFINITION OF
DISCIPLINARY ACTION FOR
CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES IN K.
TWELVE DISTRICTS THIS INCLUDES
DISMISSALS SUSPENSIONS AND
EMOTIONS. THE MEMBERS ALSO
DEFINE AN INDEPENDENT HEARING
OFFICER AS AN ARBITRATOR AND
SPECIFY ARBITRATORS ARE
SELECTED. ADDITIONALLY THE
AMENDMENTS ADJUST THE APPEALS
PROCESS FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
BECAUSE FIND EMPLOYEES SO THAT
IT'S MORE SO THAT IT MORE
CLOSELY MATCHES THE PROCESS FOR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY. THIS
BILL IS COSPONSORED BY CSEA
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATION AND
ASKED ME. IT'S ALSO SUPPORTED BY
THE CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
THE CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF
TEACHERS. WITH US TESTIFIED
TODAY WE HAVE CHEN ALSO MALLEY
WITH ASKED ME AND GLADYS RAMIREZ
A FORMER CSEA MEMBER- AND AT THE
APPROPRIATE TIME I WOULD LIKE TO
REQUEST- AN AYE VOTE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SO MUCH WELCOME. GET
MISTER MEMBER JIM AMOUNT WITH A
ME CALIFORNIA REPRESENT OUR
MEMBERS WHO WORK A COST BY STAFF
DIDN'T TWELVE DISTRICTS THINK.
COLLEGES WE ARE PROUD CO
SPONSORS OF SB FOUR THIRTY
THREE. I JUST ALSO WANTED TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF WHO
PROVIDED A THOROUGH ANALYSIS- IN
THE QUEUE FOR YOUR WORK. AB I
WANTED TO TAKE A MOMENT TO TALK
ABOUT DUE PROCESS. DUE PROCESS
PROVIDES PROTECTION AGAINST
ARBITRARY DISMISSAL UNFAIR
DISCIPLINE AND OTHER FORMS OF
DISCRIMINATION IT ALSO HELPS
ENSURE EMPLOYEES ARE GIVEN AN
OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO AND
DEFEND THEMSELVES AGAINST
ACCUSATIONS OR ALLEGATIONS THAT
MAY ARISE IN THE WORKPLACE. THIS
IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT TO
ENSURE THAT ALL EMPLOYERS
PROVIDE EQUITABLE RESPECTFUL
TREATMENT TO THEIR EMPLOYEES.
CURRENTLY DISCIPLINARY HEARING
APPEAL HEARINGS FOR TEACHERS AND
FACULTY ARE CONDUCTED BY A
NEUTRAL PANEL PROVIDED THROUGH
THE COMMISSION ON PROFESSIONAL
COMPETENCE. WHERE IS CLASSIFIED
STAFF APPEALS ARE DECIDED BY
SCHOOL DISTRICT OR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE GOVERNING BOARDS. FOR
CLASSIFIED STAFF THE OPTION FOR
IN AN IMPARTIAL THIRD PARTY
OFFICER IS ONLY AVAILABLE IF
COLLECTIVELY BARGAINED BETWEEN
THE GOVERNING BOARD OF THE
DISTRICT AND THE UNION. FOR MANY
OF OUR MEMBERS WHO DON'T HAVE
THIS OPTION IN THEIR CBA THEY
TEND TO FORGO THE APPEAL
PROCESS. BECAUSE THEY FEEL THAT
THEY WOULD NOT RECEIVE A FAIR
APPEAL SINCE THE FIRST DECISION
WAS MADE BY THE SAME BOARD THAT
THEY WOULD HAVE TO APPEAL TO.
CONTRARY TO WHAT THE OPPOSITION
IS STATING WE ARE NOT TRYING TO
PREVENT ELECTED SCHOOL BOARDS-
AND GOVERNING BOARDS FROM
EXERCISING THEIR LOCAL CONTROL.
SENATE BILL FOR THIRTY THREE
STILL ENABLES LOCAL CONTROL BY
PROVIDING FLEXIBILITY FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO WORK WITH THE
UNION. TO DEVELOP AN ALTERNATIVE
APPEALS PROCESS YOU'VE ALSO WORK
CLOSELY WITH THE COMMITTEE TO
ENSURE THAT ARBITRATION ONLY
APPLIES TO DISCIPLINE
DISCIPLINARY APPEALS. AND DOES
NOT INCLUDE VERBAL OR WRITTEN
REPRIMANDS OR VERBAL OR WRITTEN
WARNINGS AND ENSURES THAT TO THE
EXTENT POSSIBLE THE PROCESS FOR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE CLASSIFIED
STAFF LINES WITH THE PROCESS FOR
FACULTY. ARBITRATION IS RARE BUT
WE DO BELIEVE THAT CLASSIFIED
STAFF DESERVE THE SAME ABILITY
TO HAVE A FAIR APPEAL HEARING
CONDUCTED BY A NEUTRAL
ARBITRATOR AS TEACHERS AND
FACULTY CURRENTLY DO. AND WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR IPHONE
THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO MUCH
WELCOME. GOOD AFTERNOON MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO COMMENT MY NAME
IS GLADYS AMERISPEC I'M A PROUD
FORMER MEMBER OF CSEA. I WORKED
AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT
AT BY SAYING BY SCHOOL DISTRICT
FOR TWENTY FOUR YEARS. I LOVE MY
JOB I WAS ABLE TO GROW LEARN AND
OBTAIN THE SKILLS I NEEDED TO DO
MY JOB FOR KIDS IN THE CITY OF
ISAURIA. HUSBAND EMPLOYEES ARE
ESSENTIAL IN THE BACKBONE OF OUR
T. K. THROUGH TWELFTH GRADE IN
OUR SCHOOLS AND ALSO OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. WE ENSURE
SCHOOLS ARE CLEAN CHILDREN ARE
FED AND GET TO SCHOOL SAFELY WE
DO THE WORK THAT MOST TAKE FOR
GRANTED. HOWEVER EVEN THOUGH WE
DO THIS ESSENTIAL WORK WE'RE
OFTEN DENIED BASIC DISCIPLINARY
APPEAL RIGHTS THAT ARE GRANTED
TO TEACHERS. TODAY LIKE TO SHARE
MY STORY I WAS ACTIVE IN MY
UNION IS CHAPTER PRESIDENT. IN
JANUARY TWENTY EIGHTEEN I SPOKE
AT A BOARD MEETING AND RAISED
CONCERNS AND ISSUES REGARDING
THE CLIMATE SURVEY WE HAVE
CONDUCTED UNDER CHAPTER. SHORTLY
AFTER I WAS PLACED ON PAID
ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE PENDING AN
INVESTIGATION AND EVENTUALLY
SERVED WITH TERMINATION CHARGES.
I'VE BEEN REQUESTED A HEARING
WITH THE HEARING OFFICER AN
ATTORNEY HIRED BY THE SCHOOL
BOARD. NOT SURPRISINGLY SIDE
WITH THE DISTRICT MANAGEMENT. I
WAS OFFICIALLY TERMINATED BY THE
SCHOOL BOARD ON APRIL THE
SEVENTH OF TWENTY NINETEEN. ON
OCTOBER THE SEVENTH OF TWENTY
NINETEEN MY UNION CSEA FILED AN
UNFAIR PRACTICE CHARGE. WITH THE
PUBLIC AND- RELATIONS BOARD.
AGAINST MY SECOND FIGHT FOR
TERMINATED ME IN RETALIATION. ON
JANUARY THE TWENTIETH AND
FEBRUARY THE THIRD OF TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. THERE WAS A VIRTUAL
FORMAL HEARING IN WHICH PERMITS
ISSUED A PROPOSED DECISION. ON
JUNE THE TWENTY EIGHTH OF TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. HERB FOUND THAT BY
SAYING IT MIGHT SCHOOL DISTRICT
VIOLATED EDUCATIONAL EMPLOYMENT
RELATIONS ACT. BY TERMINATED ME
IN RETALIATION FOR MY PROTECTED
ACTIVITIES. THIS PROCESS HAS
TAKEN FIVE AND A HALF YEARS. AND
MY CASE IS CURRENTLY PENDING IN
THE FIFTH APPELLATE COURT. ALL
OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN
PREVENTED IF I HAD BEEN ALLOWED
TO APPEAL MY TERMINATION TO A
NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR. INSTEAD OF
THE SCHOOL BOARD. IT WOULD HAVE
SAVED THE DISTRICT TIME AND
MONEY. SB FOUR THIRTY THREE
WOULD REQUIRE DISCIPLINARY.
HEARINGS FOR CLASSIFIED SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES TO BE CONDUCTED BY
NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF
THE SCHOOL BOARD. THIS BILL WILL
ALSO PROVIDE CUTS BUT EMPLOYEES
WITH THE SAME DISCIPLINARY
APPEAL RIGHTS THE TEACHERS AND
OTHER PUBLIC EMPLOYEES RECEIVED.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE
VOTE THANK YOU. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. FOR THE WINCES SUPPORT IN
THE HEARING ROOM. I WAS THE I'M

ISSUE OF. LOCAL CONTROL AND
AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO
DETERMINE WHERE THE PERSONAL
OUTCOMES FOR ITS STAFF AND BY
PLACING IN THE HANDS OF AN
OUTSIDE PARTY THAT IS UNLIKE AN
ENTITY IT BASICALLY RESEARCH ONE
OUT ANOTHER ASPECT OF OUR
ABILITY TO GOVERN. THE CURRENT
PROCESS ARGUABLY WORKS. IN THAT
PARTICULAR CASE THAT YOU HEARD
IT WENT TO AN ARBITRATOR THAT
WAS ACTUALLY DECIDED BY THE
DISTRICT- TYPICALLY WHEN WE HAVE
THESE TYPES OF APPEALS- THERE
NEGOTIATED BY AND I PUT A
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING AGREEMENTS
AND SO BOTH LABOR. AND THE
DISTRICT SIT DOWN AND THEY
ACTUALLY AGREE AND THEY SHARE
THE COST OF THOSE- THOSE THIRD
PARTY HEARING OFFICERS THIS BILL
PLACES FOR COST OF THAT PROCESS
NOW INTO THE HANDS OF THE
DISTRICT- WITH NO FUNDING
ADDITIONAL FUNDING- SOME OF
THESE CASES CAN RUN UPWARDS OF
AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS NOT
THAT THE JURISDICTION OF THE
COMMITTEE. BUT THE FISCAL COSTS
ARE SIGNIFICANT- SOME CASES CAN
RUN INTO THE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DEPENDING
ON. THE NATURE OF THE CASE THE
NATURE OF THE PEELS AND THE TIME
IT TAKES TO ACTUALLY HEAR THEM-
AND ARBITRATORS ARE YOU KNOW
UNFORTUNATE NOT CHEAP. THIS ALSO
PRESENT A CHALLENGE FOR SOME OF
OUR SMALLER SCHOOL DISTRICTS

EDUCATION SEGMENTS A FEW YEARS
BACK RIGHT AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE PANDEMIC. I HASN'T CHANGED
THE DEMAND AND THE NEED. TO DEAL
WITH OUR FACILITIES- AND- AS
MANY OF YOU KNOW THESE BONDS ARE
A- IT USUALLY A NEGOTIATION
BETWEEN THE ASSEMBLY- YOUR
CHAIRS YOUR LEADERSHIP IN THE
SENATE SAME GROUP. AS WELL AS
THE GOVERNOR. AND BECAUSE WE
KNOW THE IDEA HERE IS TO HAVE
SOMETHING IN THE TWENTY FOUR
BALLOT. WE KNOW THAT WE HAD TO
JUST KEEP A VEHICLE MOVING. AND
IT SAYS ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MURATSUCHI HAS A SIMILAR.
VEHICLE AND ON THE ASSEMBLY SIDE
THAT'S DOING THE SAME. WE MOVED
IT OUT OF EDUCATION. LAST WEEK.
BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THIS IT IS
THAT THE END OF THE DAY GOING TO
BE A NEGOTIATION SO WHAT'S IN
THIS BOND. IS EXACTLY THE SAME
AS WHAT WAS IN THE MEASURE THAT
WENT ON THE BALLOT. AND EVEN
THOUGH WE KNOW THAT THERE NEEDS
TO BE SOME CHANGES THERE SOME
TWEAKS. AND THERE'S CERTAINLY
NEGOTIATIONS WITH ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS. IT'S MEANT TO HAVE
A VEHICLE ON BOTH SIDES TO HAVE
THOSE DISCUSSIONS AND THAT'S
WHAT'S BEFORE YOU TODAY. SEE IF

UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA'S VERY
EAGER TO GET BACK ON TRACK SO TO
SPEAK OF THE NEEDS WITHIN THE

KNOW THAT- STATE GEO BOND FUNDS
ARE NEVER GOING TO SOLVE- THE
SORT OF THE PROBLEM OR THE
SCENARIO FOR US. IT'S BUT A
PIECE OF THE PUZZLE UNIVERSITY

TWENTY TWENTY TO TWENTY TWENTY

WELCOME THANK YOU MERRY MORE
WITH THE STATE'S YOU WOULD ALSO
TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR THE

NEED TO UPDATE AND MAINTAIN OUR
CAMPUS FACILITIES. AT CSU OVER
HALF OF OUR BUILDINGS ARE MORE
THAN FORTY YEARS OLD AND NEARLY
ONE THIRD OF OUR BUILDINGS ARE
OVER FIFTY YEARS YEARS OLD. OUR
FIVE YEAR CAPITAL OUTLAY PLAN
REFLECTS NEARLY TWENTY SEVEN.
TWENTY SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS IN
ACADEMIC AND SELF SUPPORT
PROJECTS. AND SEVEN POINT EIGHT
BILLION IN FACILITY FACILITY
RENEWAL NEEDS. THIS MEANS THAT
ARE CAN'T CAMPUSES ARE
STRUGGLING WITH ISSUES
REGARDING. AGING ELECTRICAL AND
GAS LINES FIRE STATE SAFETY
SEISMIC SAFE SAFETY AND HEATING
AND COOLING SYSTEMS WHICH MAY IT
MAY NOT WORK. THIS CAN HAVE A
HUGE IMPACT ON OUR ON OUR
STUDENTS. STUDENTS WHO HAVE
CLASSES CANCELED BECAUSE OF A
POWER OUTAGE. OR WHO HAVE TO SIT
IN AN UNHEATED CLASSROOM AND
JAMES JANUARY OR WHO HAVE
TROUBLE WITH INTERNET SERVICE ON
CAMPUS. ARE GOING TO HAVE
TROUBLE DOING WELL IN THEIR
CLASS CLASSES. HAVING A CAMPUS
FOR YOU CAN COUNT ON RELIABLE
SERVICE SERVICES IS CRUCIAL TO
THEIR LEARNING. FOR THESE
REASONS WE URGE AND I VOTE.

THAT MEASURE CURRENTLY HAS SIX
EYES. WHEN KNOWING WHEN NOT
VOTING WILL KEEP THE ROLE
PREFERRED TO SOME MEMBERS TO ADD
ON- WITH THAT WE'RE UP TO OUR
FINAL. BILL ITEM NUMBER NINE SP
EIGHT FIVE SIX. AUTHORED BY
SENATOR GLAZERS SENATOR WELCOME.
YEAH THANK YOU HOWEVER MOST OF
BY MR SANTIAGO SECOND BY DOCTOR
RAMBLER- WITH THAT SENATOR
WELCOME. WELL THANK YOU AND I
HAD THE CHANCE TO TALK WITH EACH
YEAR- LAST WEEK ABOUT THIS. MY
HISTORY OF THIS. ISSUE GOES BACK
TO WHEN I WAS A TRUSTEE OF THE
STATE UNIVERSITIES FOR FOUR
YEARS BEFORE BEING ELECTED TO
THE SENATE. AND I LEARNED OF A
VERY UNFORTUNATE GAP IN THE
GREAT SUCCESSES OF OUR OF OUR
STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM. AND
THAT IS THAT WE FOCUS ON ON-
AFFORDABILITY AND ACCESS AND
QUALITY. BUT THE BIG GAP WAS ON
STUDENT COMPLETION. AND AS THIS
CHART SHOWS IF YOU LOOK AT IT IN
TWO THOUSAND FOURTEEN COLUMN.
THE FOUR YEAR GRADUATION RATE AT
THE STATE UNIVERSITIES WITH
NINETEEN PERCENT. 90% THAT MEANT
THE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
STUDENTS EVERY YEAR WOULD DROP
OUT WITH DEBT AND NO DEGREE. AND
AGAIN THIS IS A SYSTEM THAT WE
LOVE A MISSION THAT WE EMBRACED
SO ENTHUSIASTICALLY. AND YET WE
REALLY WE REALLY AT BREAKING
DOWN OUR ABILITY TO GET THE
STUDENTS TO COMPLETION- AND SO I
WORKED IN THE END IT WITHIN THE
TRUSTEE ARENA AND SUBSEQUENTLY
HERE IN THE SENATE. TO PUSH OUR
WONDERFUL FACULTY AND PRESIDENTS
AND SYSTEM LEADERSHIP TO FOCUS
ON THIS PROBLEM AND NOT JUST ON
THE PROBLEM OF THE GRADUATION
RATE BUT THE PROBLEM OF. MAKING
SURE THAT EVERYBODY GETS TO TAKE
IN A LOT OF THE UNDERREPRESENTED
STUDENTS GET TAKEN ALONG NOT
JUST TO. THOSE WHO COME FROM
PRIVILEGED BACKGROUNDS. AND SO
YOU CAN SEE THE SO THE SYSTEM
THE FACULTY THE PRESIDENTS THEY
REALLY EMBRACE THIS PROBLEM AND
WE'VE MADE INCREDIBLE PROGRESS
LOOK AT TWENTY TWENTY TWO NOW.
THE SYSTEM WIDE- TO- FOR YOUR
GRADUATION RATES UP TO THIRTY
FIVE PERCENT. BASICALLY WITH
ALMOST NO NEW MONEY BUT A FOCUS
ON. STUDENT SUCCESS WE'VE ALMOST
DOUBLED ALREADY WEAK BECAUSE
IT'S OBVIOUSLY EVERYBODY ELSE
BUT ME BUT- THAT THEY'VE DONE
THE HARD WORK TO GET STUDENTS
2 DEGREES FAST AND THEY HAVE A
GOAL OF GET TO FORTY. BY TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE I'M CERTAINLY HOPING
THAT WE'RE GOING TO GO MUCH
FURTHER THAN THAT. OKAY WITHIN
THAT GREAT SUCCESS STORY THOUGH
THERE ARE STILL SOME SIGNIFICANT
PROBLEMS. AND THE BIGGEST
PROBLEM IS UNDERREPRESENTED
STUDENTS. AND IF YOU SEE IN THE
BOTTOM CHARTS CANELO THERE THAT
THERE WAS A GUY GAP BETWEEN-
UNDER REPRESENTED BACK IN TWENTY
FOURTEEN OF TWELVE PERCENT. AND
IT'S STILL THERE TODAY. SO WHILE
WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS- WE'RE NOT
MAKING PROGRESS REVERIE BODY AND
SO WE THERE'S A DISSATISFACTION
BY EVERYBODY INCLUDING THIS THE-
LEADERSHIP OF THE CSU WE KNOW WE
HAVE TO DO BETTER. AND THEY'RE
FOCUSED ON THAT. BUT THEY JUST
WE NEED TO GET THEM TO WORK EVEN
HARDER AND SO THIS BILL THAT YOU
SEE TODAY. BUILDS ON LEGISLATION
THAT I PASSED INTO TWENTY
SIXTEEN- THAT GAVE A PATHWAY FOR
STUDENTS TO COMPLETE. WHAT I IN
FOUR YEARS- WE- IT'S CALLED IT
WAS CALLED THEN THE CALIFORNIA
PROMISE PROGRAM THIS BILL SIX
YES. WE CHANGED THE NAME TO
FINISHING FOR. US WAS SLIGHT
NAME CHANGE TO IT BECAUSE IT'S
KIND OF. OVERLAPPING WITH THAT.
CALIFORNIA PROMISES SOME OTHER
CAMPUSES COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SUCCESSOR- BUT IT ALSO DOES TWO
THINGS THAT WE THINK GO TO THE
HEART OF THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST
ONE IS THAT A LOT OF STUDENTS
DON'T KNOW ABOUT THESE FOR YOUR
PASS. THEY DON'T KNOW. IT AND WE
HAD MY STAFF GO TO ALL THOSE
SYSTEMS UNIVERSITY WEBSITES TO
TRY TO FIND THE PHOENICIAN FOR
THE CALIFORNIA PROMISE PROGRAM.
IT CAN TAKE YOU FOUR CLICKS SIX
CLICKS EVEN FIND THE PROGRAM.
AND WE LOOK AT THE AMOUNT OF
STUDENTS THAT ARE IN THE
PROGRAM. IT VARIES BY CAMPUS
DRAMATICALLY IN SOME CAMPS THE
OF THOUSANDS AND SUB CAMPUSES
YOU HAVE TEN. SO THE ABILITY TO
CREATE AWARENESS OF THIS PROGRAM
WE THINK IS THE HEART OF TRYING
TO DO BETTER. AND SO THIS BILL
TRIES TO DO IT IN TWO WAYS. ONE
WE WILL ASK ALL THE CAMPUSES TO
AT LEAST GET 5% OF THEIR
INCOMING. IN THE PROGRAM THAT'S
ONE AVENUE. AND SECOND AVENUE
THAT IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT. AND
A LITTLE BIT MORE AGGRESSIVE.
REQUIRES A STUDENT ACTUALLY OPT
OUT OF THE PROGRAM SAYING I
DON'T WANT TO GET THROUGH IN
FOUR YEARS. IT'S A DIFFERENT WAY
TO LOOK AT THE PROBLEM OKAY. AND
THAT CREATES A LOT OF STRESS IN
THE SYSTEM OKAY. BUT THIS BILL
TRIES WITH IS TRYING TO ADVANCE.
THOSE PASSED WITH THE IDEA THAT.
THIS IS A COLLABORATION WITH THE
STATE UNIVERSITIES MY FRIENDS.
WE YOU KNOW. WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS ISSUE
IN TERMS OF WHAT IS THE PATH
THAT THEY'RE GONNA FIND
ACCEPTABLE. I KNOW THEY'RE
NEUTRAL ON THIS BILL BUT I KNOW
THEY'RE UNCOMFORTABLE LET'S BE
HONEST ABOUT IT. THIS IS PUSHING
THE SYSTEM TO DO BETTER DO MORE
FOR OUR KIDS. AND THAT'S THE
CONVERSATION THAT WILL CONTINUE
OF THIS BILL IS ALLOWED AFTER
COMMITTEE SO THANK YOU FOR
TAKING A LONGER A LONGER
EXPLANATION BUT I APPRECIATE
YOUR CONSIDERATION OF IT. THANK
YOU SO MUCH SENATOR PER CITY-

CONSIDERATION. HONESTLY IT IS
BUT IT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS BY
EVERYBODY- WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
CHANGE IN SYSTEM LEADERSHIP HERE
THIS SUMMER. THAT'S KIND OF WHY
WE HAVEN'T REALLY SETS. LANDED
THIS PLANE. OF PRIOR TO THIS
HEARING- AND I'M HOPING THAT IS
THAT LEADERSHIP GET SETTLED THAT
WE CAN CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER
ON A COLLABORATIVELY THAT'S THE
WHOLE GOAL HERE. WE LOVE THE
MISSION. WE GOTTA. MAKE SURE
EVERYBODY IT RISES UP WITH THAT.
WITH OUR SUCCESS IN THE
GRADUATION RATE. THANK YOU.
