This change will affect students for generations to come, especially those in the lower to middle class.College cost does not only include the tuition as the cost for college adds up from textbooks, housing and commuting. The tuition hike will raise the economic floor needed for entry into college, and the hike will exacerbate the growing student debt crisis.The 9-0 vote by the CSU trustees is a stain on college education affordability for those looking to study in California. There should be other methods to narrow the funding gap, but one of those methods should not be a tuition hike that will negatively impact the livelihood of prospective and current ...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:00:07 GMT

After a seven-year legal battle, technology industry icon HP and its spinoff Hewlett Packard Enterprises have agreed to pay $18 million to settle a class-action lawsuit accusing them of purging older workers, according to a court filing.The lawsuit went on so long that lead plaintiff Donna Forsyth, a manager laid off at age 62 after 17 years with the companies, did not survive to see its resolution, a court motion for the plaintiffs said.Claims in the case date back to 2012, before the legendary Palo Alto electronics firm Hewlett-Packard in 2015 divided into HP for hardware, such as computers and printers, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise for business software and services.Three years before the split, the company “began implementing a company-wide initiative to replace thousands of existing, older workers with new, younger employees,” the lawsuit claimed. Then-CEO Meg Whitman, the lawsuit alleged, “repeatedly admitted that her goal was to make the entire organizatio...

Residents skeptical after toxicology report finds no ill effects from Martinez refinery incident

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:00:07 GMT

Nearly a year after the nearby refinery showered the city of Martinez with 20 tons of metal-contaminated dust, residents are still asking what went wrong, and how so many failures could occur in succession.On Monday evening, Contra Costa County Health department officials tried to address some of their concerns when they offered the first opportunity for public comment on a toxicology report studying whether the spent catalyst release had made the city’s soil unsafe.Community members, however, say they’re not satisfied.Although the results of the report were first made public in June, the meeting felt like an effort to extend an olive branch to a community that believes the refinery and the health department need to re-earn their trust.“We value your opinion and want you to feel empowered,” said Matt Hoffman, the deputy director of the Contra Costa County health department. “We really want to have the community involved in this process.”The report stems from an incident in Nov...

Kurtenbach: Logan Webb called out the SF Giants’ culture. It showed true leadership

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:00:07 GMT

Whether it was in-the-moment frustration or the symptom of a much larger problem, Giants pitcher Logan Webb’s comments following Monday’s game were a great service to the fan base and the organization.Webb spoke the truth. The Giants aren’t a winning team, and it will take changes — “big changes” — to rectify that problem.And he, the only player on the team signed to a long-term, big-money contract, is sick of it.The fanbase has been sick of it for a long time. The fluke that was the 2021 campaign no longer carries weight. The steady stream of mediocrity, brought about by a roster full of underdeveloped youngsters, waiver pickups, and uninspiring free-agent signings has taken its toll. Watch enough games where the Nos. 3 and 4 hitters are pinch-hit for in critical late-inning spots, and you’d be restless, too.But the fans’ cries for better have fallen upon deaf ears with the front office.Webb has amplified their message so it can no longer b...
