i am a student at city college. city college has definitely been transformational. that we books written on how innovative and how expiring the folks are that teach their, and the students as well. i want to emphasize who, when we talk about the free city should be accessible to all san franciscans, i wanted to highlight a population who will be left out. there is a large percentage of undocumented folks that reside in the city but can't go to city college. i would like to see an amendment that allows folks who have to pay out of state you don't have access to a state scholarship to be able to tap into these funds as well, knowing they are the most exploitive population in this city. as well as high school graduates from sfusd. i would like to see a guarantee that all of them would have access to the many. and realizing there is a large part-time work force in the city that have been priced out of living and residing in san francisco. how can we help them also. >> hello. my name is todd. i'm here today to speak out in support of the amendment, especially regarding a

before free city college past, college wasn't an option for the people in our buildings. but i am in full support of the passage of this legislation because we can -- we are realizing that the elimination of barriers for low income people is a human rights issue and i want to thank supervisor kim for making this happen, and of course, this committee and i urge that you passed this. thank you. >> hello, board. i am here with district five. city college has been truly life-changing for me. when i heard that city college was going to be free, i went back to school after a ten year hiatus. i'm currently in the cinema department and i've shown, in four film festivals in the city and i have a short film on at the roxy tonight. i received my first paycheck for working on a film last month and i am working on a production happening in san francisco this weekend. i just wanted to say how much city college has helped give me confidence as a female filmmaker it has given me the tools that i wouldn't have otherwise been able to afford, and we all know how much of an uphill struggle i

first i love free city college. i think it's one of to the few policies the board of supervisors have passed in the history of this body that has the potential to profoundly change the inequality we're all battling with here in san francisco. the possibility that exists in the program is worth funding. it's worth funding with a stable source and worth funding over a long period of time. it's worth making that choice of priority here in san francisco. i want to chime in on the ongoing debate on set-asides. i get both sides of this debate. it's a hard one. what ultimately -- what usually what i usually end of fight the set-aside side of the debate, the board of supervisors has an limited budget of $11 million and the mayor's budget office is responsible and the departments for setting the priority. and we have a month to review $11 million and then we battle between 11 of us at the end over a paltry part of money given the size of the budget. if you want to promote, create and see a big ideas become successful, it's r

i'm a supporter of free city college. i worked as part of the campaign with the janitors and many other members from the labor community. oftentimes we're talking about budget set-asides or baseline funding without new revenue sources. the conversation around free city college was absolutely associated with the conversation around prop w, whiches with a property transfer tax. that property transfer tax generates $40 million a year and two main sources of funding in that are the -- two main targeted policy areas are free city college, and we're going into our second year on that, as well as street fee program. i'm prepared today to take a motion to send this out of committee with positive recommendation to the full board as a committee report. i've spoken with supervisor kim's office, met with free city college folks. there are a couple of amendments that will be made at the full board, which of which -- we have some accountability language. after year four, controller can adjust the baseline and all we'll talk about is af

to get free college. i support free city college back in 2016. i spoke out for it. i supported it and i want to get into a class but i was lazy right there. i just want to see this continue in perpetuity. police, don't be a republican swamp monster. listen to the people and make this happen. i look forward to voting for it when it comes on the ballot. thank you, by. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello. my name is,. i just have always loved the swamp monster. anyway, it is not -- it is an opportunity to care and uplifts. i can't think of any better investment in the city at a time , in one of the richest cities in the country, at a time when federal government is taking a dehumanizing approach every human surface that there is, local government, it is time to step up to show that we care. one of the best ways we can care act not just for our people before our city is to uplift the people who need it the most. one of the best ways you could possibly invest would be in free city college. i am sure you will.

policing, in colleges and universities.ou have a new book, how race and gender pander and krupp university and undermine our culture this so relevant today, you argue toxic ideas, fueled intolerance and widened division. i think we see this everywhere now. >> we do, kavanaugh hearing was an example we're in gender studies 101 now. virtually every aspect of the culminating of hysteria that greeted judge coug kavanaugh was perfected over the past decade on the college campus. transforming lives of males on campus, creating a costly bureaucracy, it has moved into real world it is got going away. >> whether did it happen, they were always wine of liberal. they almost a soviet-style system there is no free speech, not allowed to challenge so-called norms in the university, where race and gender, seem to have a priority over other things. what did it happen? >> well, it 80s it started in my view, that is when you got radical multiculturalism that hit. i was in college in 80s, i am grateful for, that i was allowed to read john mil

my gratitude toward the victory of free city college.t and as a graduate who continues attending ccsf, the removal of financial barriers has opened greater skills necessary to prepare for the 21st century work force. i'm a mother of three young children and been working towards a career change in life. obtaining this education is essential and purposing career path that is fulfilling. free city contributes to their talents, and pursue new career paths without going into financial debt. reduced education iniquity and made education accessible for all of our city residents and thank the board for championing free city. it's so important in a city that talks about innovation and disruption, we need to make sure the opportunity is provided for all of our residents. so, colleagues, i just want to thank again our co-sponsors, i want to thank our rules committee for expeditiously allowing this to come before the board. i know this is one of the quickest charter amendments that have come before the board of supervisors but i really do look forwa

i was in college in the 70s.'m very grateful for that because, i was allowed to read john milton and shakespeare without anyone thinking to complain about the authors. i got to lose myself in beauty, in greatness, and sub limbty cool the 80s and students were given a license for ignorance, they were taught that the only thing they needed to know about a book was the race and gender of the author to know whether it was thoroughly dismissible without itno being read, with ad they could go on to instead wallow in their own -- delusional oppression and it is only gotten worse since then and what we are doing is breeding the grounds for i fear civil war because students are being taught to hate. to hate the greatest works of western civilization, and frankly to hate each other. from the moment a student steps onat college campus today is asa freshman or a fresh person i should probablym say, the bureaucracy is determined to -- to drum into that student's head identity politics which says, he's either a victim or an op

advocate college to students i teach, community college, some college.e students, they don't want to go to college. skilled trades are fine. some sort of training. i tell a lot of people, they say student loans are not good, but $20,000 or you place $40,000 into an education, and you come out with a job that pays $70,000 or 90,000 dollars, you should be able to pay those loans back. theirk people don't keep student loans in good standing. this didn't want people make it easy to keep your loans in good standing. maybe interest rates should go lower. i think people who work in the public sector like did payachers -- they for all of my perkins loans when i got out of undergrad. recently, i got a $17,000 reduction on my student loans. i think i qualify for other things. for people that work in the public sector, i believe we should get more cuts for a student loan. guest: i think you make a lot of great points. i think it is important for people to remember that college can be an excellent investment. it can be one of the best investments you make in your li

city college and community college is our nation's only life-long learning institution and this institution only grows in its importance as we see the technology racing ahead of education we're providing to residents. as automation and technological advances continue we find many jobs available today will not be available tomorrow and that is why this life long learning institution will be so critical to the economic longevity of this great city. we also know that by 2020, regardless of all the technological innovation, 70% of all jobs in the u.s. will require some type of post-secondary degree and a high school diploma is no longer enough. we need to increase the social compact government has made to citizens to provide a free and universal k-12 education and expand it to college. the charter amendment is set aside for 10 years. in fact, it's the only one with a short duration. every other charter amendment is 15, 25 years or significantly longer. this is also the third smallest set aside the city will have if it passes from the board of supervisors and passed by voters behind the municipa

access and it's not just about college access.ion and while they're in their four years at a university we start infusing it with workforce development conversations. so when they graduate from college, they're already workforce ready by having a robust career development program. so we really are trying to get our students ready to thrive in the work place and have meaningful careers. >> you're also not only just selecting them giving them scholarship money, which is the focus a lot of times, but you're also providing them with the support network while they are in school. >> yes. we provide a health navigator. we have tutoring, career mentors, social mentors. we sove are hanot part of our rising stars program, actually we have the sra hub which is kind of an ed tech platform that has a virtual advisor, so our students are virtually getting other information if they're not part of our legacy rising stars program. >> that's really impressive. that gives you the opportunity to sort of help out more students bring more people in. >>

every college is, in's fence, doing the same thing. newsrooms are under enormous pressure to find reporters, select sources and origin late story that is will improve their diversity profile. book publishers are obsessively engineering their intrits to liar tie, quote, defence author it is on themes. , and thanks to media pressure and their own human resources departments, corporate boardrooms have made a felt everybody of nernd who no, sir namely. i voted against every female who shows up on a proxy ball old, because i assume that she is there because of her sex, not her business experience. case in point, drew gillpen faust recently accepted a position on goldman sachs' board. who knew no left-wing american history professors were excellent in testament banking.

why are so many college students starving? >> for the first time in their lives there experiencing the conditions of poverty. soledad: i'm soledad o'brien. welcome to "matter of fact." the federal government is stepping up its response to a rare polio-like illness that is effecting young children in more than 30 states. it's called acute flaccid myelitis or afm, and the cdc has set up a task force to investigate the disease which this year has spiked to more than 115 cases. and this past tuesday, new york senator kirsten gillibrand, asked congress to approve one billion dollars to research afm. doctors say the resarch is desperately needed because they still don't know what causes the illness or how to prevent it. dr. anthony fauci with the national institutes of health is leading part of the government's research. always nice to have you with us. let's start by walking me through in layman's terms, what exactly is afm, and why do people eat quite it to polio? dr. fauci: acute -- myelitis. and what the children get is they get

the college presidents making a then hundred a year their coach is making $8 million a year. money talks. real power is in the athletic programs. but they're also very, very difficult to unwinds. you create this infrastructure, you build a stadium for 80,000 people. you build a practice facility. you raise the money. you promise the people in your city, well, when 80,000 people come fill this stadium, they're going to stay the these hotels. they're going to buy these restaurant meals. there's a whole economic infrastructure around the sports programs, so they become almost impossible to unwinds, even for people who know, even for the universities a mr.ors know, this thing is dangerous. this thing could blow up on me. they all know and it they all hope it doesn't happen. as its just happened at maryland, as its happened at michigan state, as it happened at ohio state and baylor, repeatedly. as it happened at north carolina. these things are, as the president of the university of maryland was just quotedded a saying, their all dormant vs. >> the ncaa is very adamant about a lac

it's the question about college students, college athletes likeness being used in videogames and things like that, and whether i had a chance to look into that. i didn't have a chance to look into that, but it's true. i mean, this all sort of started because games like the rose bowl became these huge television events that attracted tons and tons of advertisers. and college football more broadly attracted tons and tons of advertising dollars from television broadcasts. and so initially it was just let's turn these kids into billboards for a day and make money off of that. and now it's, now the questions are very, very complicated. to be taken advantage of ten, 15, two other corporation profiting from your likeness may be after you're dead even indicates that some of these players, shocking to think about. >> they are put in this sort of long-term lottery where they maybe look at a professional career the large portion maybe not. exchange market is an education. how much of that education is valuable. >> right. i mean, it's really, i hate to say it's debatable what kind of education you

. >> tucker: pretty much every college in america, almost every college in america, restricts free speech a signature fact of college. and it is grotesque. can we do anything about it? that is after the break. ♪ >> tucker: america's college campuses were designed to be havens for free expression, and for good reason. free speech is a requirement for free thought, and free thought essential for universities, no other reason to have it. but universities where those freedoms under the gravest i threat. a new foundation for individual rights in education report finds that 90%ti of american college campuses have some kind of speech code that restrictsht wht students are allowed to say, and by extension, this is intentional, what is acceptable for them to think. when they control whathe you sa, they control what you think. robert shibley, executive director, he joins us tonight. robert, thank you very much for coming on.h when you say there are speech codes, is that strictly speaking? are these rules that say you are ornot allowed to express certain ideas or say certain things? or the they info

the same age group, college and non-college. but then more generally just the whole thing, is this more of a problem in terms of the way young people have been raised since 1995, again, across the academy only, or is it kind of for baristas and everybody? >> that's a great question. so we were tipped off to the rise in mental health problems by gene who wrote a book called i-gen. and in the book she goes after the ways kids born after 1995 are different on so many fronts, and she has graphed. she sews -- graphs. she shows these trends are happening across, race and social class. it is happening nationally. and so, and that's what she thinks social media's the main cause. all teenagers are into social media. one thing that we learned a lot about, because i think we all have a common intuition that there's a certain pattern in sort of the upper middle class especially preparing for college, and that's right. that's true, that's happening. there's two wonderful books we realize to understand this. one is annette -- [inaudible] and

i'm wolf blitzer reporting from college station, texas.resident bush's casket is nearing the end of a two and a half hour journey from the houston area to where we are at college station, texas, where president bush will be laid to rest, and right next to his wife barbara who passed away in april, and their 3-year-old daughter robin at the presidential library here at texas a&m university. with us here in college station, our chief political correspondent dana bash is here, our chief national correspondent john king, and former speech writer for president george herbert walker bush mary kate carey. mary, as the train gets closer and closer to where we are, remind our viewers why the presidential library of president george h.w. bush is here at texas a&m university. >> you may recall when he was deciding to have his library, the then students at yale university, his alma mater, made it pretty clear that they were not happy with the library being there, so he started looking around, and since he was living in houston, texas a&m came to him a

i love the idea of that year between college and or/high school and college.ed to do volunteer service to our country. >> i completely agree with rick. philanthropy, internships, work, whatever it may be, a breath of fresh air, take one year between. that's a lot of school from kindergarten from all the way. get people to understand the best thing you can ever do is for others that you need absolutely nothing from, it's a great lesson. >> i took a year off between high school and college. i work might butt off to pay for my first year of college. but also to get enough money so i could take two months in the europe. you can't imagine appreciating all of that had i not worked on my own without getting money from anybody. that's what concerns me. the fact that you get money from the outside for just having fun. there is something wrong with that. >> it's kind of weird. >> i think we all agree with you. >> college is about education. if they can fund this where it's not coming out of the government purse, education is the great equalizer. david: this is a private

the board cannot adopt an ordinance that requires city college to provide reports because city collegeis an outside entity. so this charter amendment would explicitly tie the reporting requirement to the city's funding with the amendment. if the board does not adopt supervisor stefani's proposed amendment, you can still request reports from city college or hold hearings and ask city college to attend. but the board couldn't withhold fund from city college because city college didn't provide adequate information to the board. >> unless this is in the charter? >> correct. >> supervisor mandelman. >> there was a question of the oversight committee and if we want to have an oversight committee the thought was we'd have to have an ordinance we'd work on in the spring. this seems parallel or similar to me. >> the board has adopted an ordinance creating an oversight committee or approved an m.o.u. and could outside of the charter amendment, create an oversight committee. you cannot require city college to appoint people to the oversight committee but i think you've reasonably expected they wo

but going to a four-year college, a private college, a prestigious college, that's not in the constitution and one of the interviews you said there was a client you helped who was super happy because he didn't have to go to community college and the question is why are they entitled to go to a private four-year college, prestigious college. >> they don't have to have it, and they aren't entitled to it. they may earn it. the only reason to work with me is to tell your whole story, and give each institution an opportunity to make their own decision, and for a typical client of mine who's been expelled from under grad, i would encourage them to apply to about 30 universities and i would expect them to get into three to five. that's often a very good outcome for one of my students, so there are plenty of colleges that have no trouble saying no. but if what i'm helping the student do is make their case for why one of the spots in the class, and they're not necessarily highly selective colleges, but one of the spots in class would be well served with me. >> and tell me why. you say you think you
