dr rocha, thank you so much for your time. thanks for having me.u can go to the store and see tens of yellowfin tuna and purchase it. why is there not a ban on buying this fish, on fishing this fish, if stocks are about to collapse? it is very hard. first of all, these stocks assessment differs from the conservation assessment. those are two different things and scientists from different fields can look at the same data and come to different conclusions. fishermen might say, yes, the stock has declined a lot but it is stable and it is not going to decline any more. where is a conservation biologist might say, it has declined a lot and we need to stop fishing. that is the first disagreement, and that disagreement causes the managing agencies not to completely ban the fishing of it. it sounds like there isa fishing of it. it sounds like there is a lot of work to do yet in that area. absolutely. but it is world 0cea ns area. absolutely. but it is world 0ceans day, area. absolutely. but it is world 0cea ns day, so area. absolutely. but it is world 0cea

rocha, could you speak to the timing of these reduction and why now? why do we have to make these reductions this year? well, first of all, all of the class section reductions will take effect in the fall of 2019, and it was just last week that we in the class schedule, continuing students in priority order, can go on to our website right now and register for fall. so the class schedule is up. and while enrollment is encouraging, the enrollment is up in most areas, this year over last year of -- none of the seats are full yet and there's plenty of room to enroll. and so the reason why we're doing this now, ok, the fall schedule is in. we will make adjustments as the supervisor mentioned if we see that holy macrel, there's a class and 40 more people showed up, we'll bend over backward to open up a new section. but there are a sections that may not get up to the limit or the enrollment and we may, if it's required for graduation, we may keep it and we keep a lot of our classes under 20, even though the contract limits it, but most of our career tech-ed c

mark rocha, good for you. >> thank you very much, a pleasure. >> we were talking off camera. you've been a teacher, you went up the ladder from there? >> yeah. i started out -- i'm an english teacher by trade. i grew up in new york city. and after i got out of college, i came to los angeles. started teaching english there. worked my way up the ladder. then i thought, well, okay. near the end of my career. i have one more mountain to climb, that's san francisco. so i'm here in san francisco, here in the bay area, and just really pleased to be at city college. >> how is that climb going? you've been here two years. give us an assessment what was you've been able to see and maybe fix if it needs to be fixed at city college. >> no, well first of all it's just been the time of my life. personally, the people of city college are great. we have a great board, great faculty, great staff. that college has been there since 1935. it's graduated 35,000 alumni. it's had a great reputation. so in the last couple of years, we've set our goals on three major things. number one, students. we

rocha is from the california academy of sciences.y there's no ban on fishing yellow fin tuna. it is very hard. first of all, the stocks assessment differs from the conservation assessment. those are two different things and scientists from different fields can look at the same data and come to different conclusions. fish biologists might say, yes, the stock has declined a lot but it is stable and it is not going to decline any more. whereas a conservation biologist might say, it has declined a lot and we need to stop fishing. that is the first disagreement, and that disagreement causes the managing agencies not to completely ban the fishing of it. it sounds like there is a lot of work to do yet in that area. absolutely. but it is world 0ceans day, so we're looking at lots of different threats to the ocean. plastic is one of them, but what would you say is the biggest threat to the world's oceans. i think today the biggest threat to the world's oceans is climate, climate change. the climate crisis, rising temperatures, they are really

i wasn't planning on talking about that, but because chancellor rocha lead his presentation in tal talking abot the english classes we're adding, i have to say that's not true. the situation in english is complex because of ab705 and it's a much bigger set of issues but not just about direct class cuts. i want to be clear that we're not adding english for students. we are cutting. in fact, we're losing 25-30 faculty members next fall because of those cults and the impact of that. and so, of our faculty members in the english department, i think the part-timer who most recently was the last to get classes assigned for the fall has been here a dozen years. and she just heard yesterday as we all heard that maybe some of those classes will not run after all and we'll be cutting more. so i want to be clear that when we're having this conversation about the future of our college and what we're able to do as a college for our community, the kinds of services that we offer to our students of all kinds and for all kinds of reasons, i help students transfer. that's what i do in the classroom, help s

rocha mentioned earlier and we will end the year as planned but for next year we have to have top discussions to say where are the reductions. because we're programmed to keep our revenue flat and that doesn't sound encouraging, but in an environment with other districts are experiencing declining enrollment, ours is slightly increasing, not all expenditures but that's from the independent auditor. >> thank you. i did -- president randolph let us know he's watching from hong kong and wanted to say hello to the room and that our student trustee is here and so thank you, students trustee hirschburg for attending. i would like to know what the plan is to maintain our 5% required reserve in this budget and also, if you could speak to the importance to our accreditation in maintaining sound reserves. >> yes, so through the state chancellor's office, a recommended reserve is 5%, a minimum of 5% and i understand that a few years ago, the board, our board of trustees at the time had required an 8% reserve. so with the deficit spending we're currently engaged in, maintaining a 5% reserve is challengin

the alleged incident happened on monday at rocha spa on 16ee str northwest in the mt. pleasant neighborhood. he was an off-duty officer and then off duty and with theorce r seven years. his police powers have been revoked. he's been assigned duties where he has no contact with the public. the police chief said officer then's actions are ace disg to everyone who wears a badge. >>> if you are taking a live look at the white house where it is been a tumultuous few days. backlash continues from president trump saying he would listen to political information from foreign governments. as nbc4 tracie potts explains, congress is split on how to prevent that. >> reporter: the fallout from president trump saying he would accept information on a political opponent from afo reign government without immediately alerting the fbi. >> i think i'd take it. en >> the presidgave us once again evidence that he does not know right from wrong. >> reporter: the president explaining this morning on fox. >> of course yave to look at it. because if you don't look at it, you're not going to know

. >> amy rocha, i'm going to guess that you like the book more than the movie.e it good, to be on parallel with the book, with the report itself? >> i think what has to be in the movie is the substance of the book. i'm going to respectfully disagree. because i don't think we need something new from robert mueller. what's in the report, what's in the book, if people focus on the individual acts of obstruction. let's put aside russia for a second. but the individual acts of obstruction. they are so blatant. and shocking and every time in our reporting something comes out where we sort of focus on this, like flynn's lawyer getting this voicemail from trump's lawyer to stop him from cooperating. and everybody goes -- wait, what? that was in a recent news cycle. guess what, that was in the report, but it gets lost. because one, no one has read the report, and two, there's so much in the report and you had bill barr, basically misleading everyone about the report. so i think if robert mueller just in his own dry way, he's not going to be arguing, he's not going to be
