two-year college, so by the time they get to a four-year college they're saving money. [applause] universities like carnegie mellon, arizona state, they're starting to show that online learning can help students master the same material in less time and often at lower cost. [applause] georgia tech, which is a national leader in computer science, just announced it will begin offering an online master's degree in computer science at a fraction of the cost of a traditional class, but it's just as rigorous and it's producing engineers who are just as good. so a lot of other schools are experimenting with these ideas to keep tuition down. they've got other ways to help students graduate in less time, at less cost, while still maintaining high quality. the point is it's possible. and it's time for more colleges to step up with even better ways to do it. and we're going to provide additional assistance to states and universities that are coming up with good ideas. third thing, even as we work to bring down costs for current and future students, we've got to offer

as a city college student i started students making a change that is -- focuses on leadership development and civic engagement, which raul and christie are part of. i started that program at city college because we want to directly address issues impacting equity, impacting low-income, students of color to achieve and to help us overcome barriers that make us feel like it's our fault. so, so, you know, when -- we can stand here and say there are some -- that there are lots of different issues that either exist or don't exist by people on different side, but no one can stand here and tell me students have access to wi-fi when they need it. there is no one that can stand here and tell me we didn't have issues with shared governance. that democracy has to be hard, but it doesn't have to be impossible. i really urge the community to come together in a real way and that if we actually truly love our college and our community that we'll be the number one critics of it and do everything we can to fix it. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. (applause) >> i'll call a few more cards befo

the sticker price for a four-year private college, up a more modest 60%. it's true, colleges are offering more financial aid to offset rising tuition. more than 20% of students get some sort of financial aid from their school, an average of $6400 per student. that's on top of student loans and federal grants. but that aid is putting a strain on school budgets, forcing tuition prices higher. the average sticker price today for four years of tuition at a public college, $38,000. that's a bargain compared to 127,000 for a private college. but for a child born today, it could be three times that. $108,000 for public school, more than $360,000 for private college. unbelievable. so as states, families ask colleges struggle to pay the bills, president obama wants the federal government to help. after speaking to students at the university of buffalo, president obama sat down with our very own chris cuomo and outlined his college plan. >> we want to create a new system for colleges so parents and students know what schools graduate kids on time, are a good value fo

i was a student at city college in the '80s. i did my student teaching there as a masters student at s.f. state. i'll be working with two students from the masters program in the tsaw program at sf state. so, that's important. they are really fearful of what could happen in the next year with the special trustee because we feel like civic center campus might be vulnerable to being closed and i would really like to advocate that we need to keep the vic i can center campus open. i was speaking with edgar torres who is the chair of latino studies department and he noted that as the mission becomes more gentrified, a lot of immigrants are moving to the tenderloin ~ and we really need to be able to serve that population. i also just want to make the point that ovhe

as a student i've been part of this city college for two years. i just recently finished all my studies last semester. but, you know, like a lot of things are happening here, you know, there are a lot of problems in city college like we have bathrooms that haven't been fixed. we have -- [speaker not understood]. we also have a lot of resistance in terms like a couple years ago we had our resource center being requested by undocumented students and, you know, it was really sad to walk in the halls and see people that weren't smiling at me really hurt, a lot of hypocracy. because at that point at that moment, those people were the ones that were accessing the [speaker not understood] resource center and now they are like here trying -- because they're losing their jobs, saying that you know, they're advocating for students of color when at that point they weren't advocating for it. the second point is at that moment to [speaker not understood] we were fighting for entrance for low-income students and [speaker not understood] undocumented students on

served 110,000 students to a college that serves 85,000 students. there was a statement that said that we didn't review our mission statement for the last four years. well, i just want to say that's false. we didn't review our mission statement, but what we prioritized in our mission statement was access. we said that the person that is getting their ged or getting their esl classes is just as important as a person that's getting their engineering degree or looking to transfer to u.c. berkeley or to stanford. those are our values. these mission statement might not have been to what they liked, but it was an expression of our values as san franciscans that we think everybody dunkelberg -- this should be a campus that's for everybody. and there were comments about our fiscal management that we have to say that city college is actually the first college [speaker not understood] to be the first college to return to pre-recession revenues thanks to the parcel tax and prop 30, we were on track to get all the money that we lost back. so, i just wanted to cl

city college is a staple of education within the city. we don't only want to see city college saved. we want to see city college improved. we want to see city college addressing some of the historic issues of racial inequity, the achievement gap for students of color, especially african-american students, the amount of time that it takes students to graduate when they get into city college. so, we were really would like to see you take leadership in bringing the community together to build more support around saving city college, while most definitely including the fact we need to strive to improve the situations at city college that aren't working for students to make them successful. there's a lot of pressure to have a narrative that doesn't include equity and i want to most definitely make sure that as we continue to speak about this that we talk about equity. we put students at the center of the conversation and really make sure that it's guided by what's going to make sure students get the most out of their education at city college.

what we hear back is that the best option might be try college, go to a community college and take a es, see if college is for you while you're working in that job that may not require the degree. it's a way to ease your way into the market while examining whether college makes sense. >> and given the cost of education probably it makes an increasing amount of sense. >> yes. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> say you've gone to college but looking to pursue your own opportunities now. colleges and university finding financing for startups. mary thompson brings us a story on angels giving wings to new business. >> invest in what you know. a growing numbers of alumni groups are doing just that, putting money in of their alma maters. this man is founder of the silicon valley badgers and sometimes funding wisconsin student startups. >> automatically there is a band and loyalty which kind of develops which is essential for any startup because most startups end up having near death experiences. you want tight teams together. >> the angel capital corporation estimating about 50 angel alumni gro

member of city college of san francisco. i just want to give you a window into -- i used to be the director of the eops program, external opportunity program services. cop has three services in the program. if city college closes what would happen to these 1500 students? all of the members of the eops program, it's a state funded program. all the eops [speaker not understood] in the state of california have been [speaker not understood] a certain number of students it can serve. if all these students -- if city college closes, there are students [speaker not understood]. there are second chance students, ex offenders, [speaker not understood] based on their income. if all of these students lose the opportunity to attend city college of san francisco, their surrounding community colleges in the bay area will also have a limit, a cap on the number of students it can serve. mostly unlikely it will be able to attend another community college in the area. so, what would happen to san francisco with an additional 1500 students, ex offenders, low-income stu

let's take a look at how beneficial a college degree actually is? study by the brookings institution shows graduates earning half a million dollars more than non-graduates over the course of their careers. and a study at georgetown university puts that number even higher, but researcher by the heritage foundation who took into account student loads, and put the number at $300,000. neil, and in las vegas, natalia, and neil, associate director of kato's educational freedom. you're out of college, your brain is full, what does it mean for your earning potential. >> it has dramatic affect on a student coming out of college. each year of college, each year beyond high school drives up earnings. i think whether you talk about the brookings study or the heritage study they all show there are tremendous benefits from the earnings perspective for college graduates. >> how about higher education. what if you go farther, you get a master in engineering or medical degree, what does that mean for your future? >> well, all the studies say that you're going to do b

it hit a lot of college graduates. hit a lot of middle-class workers, middle-aged workers, kind of the core of the labor force. a lot of them suffered much more in this recession than they had in the past. and the economy has very slow to recover. the really disturbing thing in some ways is that, by some measures, the job market has actually recovered better than might be expected given how the economic growth has been peered we sort of think about this as a jobless recovery. in some ways, what it really is recovery.eryless we have not seen strong economic growth. as a result, we have not seen jobs. if you separate out why people lose their jobs and become laid off, in order to get back into the economy they have to be hired again. layoffs are back down to pre- recession levels. we are not seeing any significant number of layoffs. it is kind of at the normal level. so we are not losing jobs. but we're not seeing hiring. we had nothing hiring pickup anywhere near the degree that we have seen layoffs come down. so we are

ok austin if we can change gears a little bit here i want to when i was in high school and in college i worked in fast food places like wendy's and i knew it was a short stay ok i worked hard it was low wages but i knew there was a way out but now we have a situation in the united states where people get there because they don't want to be there they've lost a job because of the recession and their traps there this is a significantly different kind of environment when it comes to employment. right absolutely well the thing is is that not only are you being paid a wage while you're working at wendy's you're being paid in work experience and work experience is something that's hard to quantify but it becomes something that's valuable that you can add to a resume to take someone else and when you say being trapped at wendy's no one is being forced to work at a low wage job people have the choice and they can take their wages and their experience and try and get a job elsewhere but you have to understand most people in the united states don't actually earn the minimum wage more more peopl

this is very much along the lines we wrote in a recent editorial david and i wrote. college can still be worth it but majoring in the right subject for the right price at the right place is a major factor in making itself look at it from the perspective of the individual. the brookings institution report said this in part. there's enormous variation in the so-called return to education. depending on factors such as institution attended, field of study, whether a student graduates and post graduation occupation. while the average return, not the median return the the average return to obtain the college degree is clearly positive, we emphasize it is not universally so. for certain schools major occupations and individuals, which may not be a smart investment. but telling all young people they should go to college matter what, which is a pretty loud message. we are actually doing some of them a disservice. that's pretty interesting. the second point i would make in this we talk a lot about the stem subjects and jobs, science technology, engineering and math and we say this as

i have a quick side question. is college really worth it for those that are aspiring entrepreneurs or business owner's? in other words if you know what your career is going to be any trade environment or a high-tech business is college really worth it statistically speaking? >> i think that is one of the great financial calculations of becoming an entreprenentrepren eur. am i going to forego this experience to do that one? life is often the best teacher of those things and i think it's absolutely true when it comes to starting a business and building up a business and things like that. you look at steve jobs mark brook and bill gates. there was no value add it for them of college but i'm sure there are thousands of individuals across the country who has said the same thing about themselves and have the next big idea and it didn't pan out. so in one sense college absolutely might be a great fallback if your idea doesn't work out and you can be a computer program -- computer pro-grammar for google googler apple or whatever and

if saving city college means having a city college that no longer looks like what city college has been. so, supervisor avalos talked about the language programs. it's the adult education classes, the job training programs, the work force development initiatives. it's the second chance programs for formerly incarcerated youth. it is the bet van center that helps so many vets not only get training, get jobs. it's the guardian scholars programs that serves former foster care students with academic and nonacademic support. it's the programs addressing senior help. it's helping students transfer to four-year colleges. it's preserving lower cost higher education can which is -- city college is the only way that so many low-income folks can go to college. it's maintaining the special community-based campuses like mission campus in my district that serves 8500 students, 70% of whom are immigrants. i do think that we need to continue these hearings and i will end with this, that my hope and what i would like to do as the district 9 supervisor is at the next hearing th
