Strong Program in School District Sees Success, But Needs Expansion According to the California Department of Education, over 30% of students do not graduate from high school—numbers which should make anyone look twice at what we are doing in our schools. The good news is that the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) already has a program with the potential to make school relevant to students again, and keep our youth from abandoning their education....

April 5 - 2 year anniversary! 
Two years ago today, UC Santa Cruz students kicked military recruiters off campus for the first time since the early 70's. This was the first action of what The Project newspaper called 'The Spring Insurrection' of 2005, including the 1,000+ strong AFSCME strike and shutdown of campus, Tent U. and more. That spring was a big part of what radicalized our particular generation of activists and organizers....

The Shameless Hilton Hotel In 1971, after I returned from Peace Corps Kenya, I taught English as a Second Language to Chinatown adult immigrants. After working all day, my students started studying at 6 p.m., and after class walked or took the bus home. Today Chinatown residents and workers continue to rely on City College classes during the evening, afternoon and morning, seven days a week, to learn English, prepare for citizenship, and acquire job skills....

CSU Faculty Strike to Hit Bay Area April 11th If No Agreement Is Reached Teachers of the California State University system -- the most affordable higher education institution in the state -- vowed to strike if the CSU administration did not offer an acceptable contract. Central to the California Faculty Association's objections are the university system's proposal to drastically increase student tuition by more than 200% over the next couple of years, and a substandard salary schedule that leaves many teachers struggling to survive on less than most k-12 teacher...

British Petroleum and the New Greenmail British Petroleum's proposed biofuel research deal with the University of California has sparked a growing resistance from a coalition based in UC Berkeley's College of Natural Resources, claiming the deal is essentially a continuation of BP's current greenwash campaign. After much unfavorable publicity surrounding the mismanagement of oil tankers, pipelines, and refineries, BP began airing commercials on business friendly television channels hyping their renewable energy projects with the sl...

SCHOOL MATTERS: Will Community Colleges Save California? A majority of high skilled workers who will fill the labor shortages California will face in the near future will come from community colleges.

Students Struggle to Support CSU Strike Two weeks ago, the California State University (CSU) faculty voted overwhelmingly in support of a strike. Yesterday, after a report called for a 25% pay raise over the next four years, the administration agreed to use it as a “framework” to negotiate – in the hopes of averting the strike. But while faculty prepares in the event that a strike becomes necessary, a student body unaccustomed to social movements remains uncertain of its role....
