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.

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. But if the state doesn't begin pay closer attention to this valuable institution, students and California's labor market are in for a shock, says Rubén Lizardo, Director of California Tomorrow’s Community College Access & Equity Initiative....

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....

As CSU Profs Vote on Strike, It's Time for Sunshine on Executive Compensation The faculty at San Francisco State University, San Jose State University, and five other California State University (CSU) campuses started voting yesterday on whether or not to strike if labor negotiations with the CSU administration do not soon reach an agreement. Ironically, tomorrow the CSU Board of Trustees is likely to approve a $103,000 executive payout to retiring CSU Dominguez President James Lyons.

Dialog among Civilizations: Whytalksfail? Part-1 This analysis explores why dialogs among civilizations continually fail to produce results by showcasing one short dialog as an illustrative example. The showcased dialog is meant to illustrate the depth of passion, preconceptions, and self-interests that often formulate opposing view points such that if ever they come together for a discussion, they fail to communicate despite all the rationality and compassion they can muster in the best of cases, friends. The Preamble is informally structu...

Bong Hits for Jesus Every so often the right to free speech becomes a national issue here in the land of the free and the home of the brave.
It’s no wonder. Despite the hype, free speech is not a right people always feel all warm and fuzzy about. Sometimes it’s a downright royal pain in the butt. It means tolerating all sorts of ideas and opinions that we loathe. Just ask the ACLU. Or Juneau, Alaska high school principal Deborah Morse. She freaked big time when Joseph Frederick, a high school student, unfurle...
