Prize-winner, Mark Fiore, who the Wall Street Journal has called “the undisputed guru of the form,” creates animated political cartoons in San Francisco, where his work has been featured regularly on the San Francisco Chronicle’s web site, SFGate.com. His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":"MarkFiore","facebook":null,"instagram":"https://www.instagram.com/markfiore/?hl=en","linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"arts","roles":["contributor"]},{"site":"news","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"futureofyou","roles":["editor"]},{"site":"science","roles":["editor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Mark Fiore | KQED","description":"KQED News Cartoonist","ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fc4e2a612b15b67bad0c6f0e1db4ca9b?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/markfiore"},"vrancano":{"type":"authors","id":"11276","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"11276","found":true},"name":"Vanessa Rancaño","firstName":"Vanessa","lastName":"Rancaño","slug":"vrancano","email":"vrancano@kqed.org","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":["news"],"title":"Reporter, Housing","bio":"Vanessa Rancaño reports on housing and homelessness for KQED.

They would not be entitled to relief if they can't demonstrate they've been financially harmed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rep.

Federal agencies found, starting in 2015, that some for-profit colleges, including the now-defunct \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2014/07/08/329550897/the-collapse-of-corinthian-colleges\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Corinthian Colleges\u003c/a> and ITT Technical Institute, lied to these students about their job prospects and the value of their credits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the waning days of the Obama administration, the Education Department decided to grant full loan relief to these defrauded borrowers under a previously little-used rule called \"borrower defense.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when DeVos took over, she quickly made clear that the department would not be offering borrowers blanket relief. She came up with a new formula that would provide only partial relief to the vast majority of borrowers, based on their present-day income. That idea was stopped by the courts on the grounds that using Social Security earnings data to calculate relief violates borrowers' privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questioning by Republicans on the committee, including Rep. Fred Keller of Pennsylvania, focused on the court case as the reason that borrower relief has been delayed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, DeVos came back with a new plan for partial relief that would rely on publicly available income data. In the hearing today, DeVos defended the principle of providing \"fair relief to all borrowers who actually have been harmed. ... They would not be entitled to relief if they can't demonstrate they've been financially harmed.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Rep. Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon was among many Democrats to argue that \"just because someone is making money doesn't mean they weren't defrauded.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secretary was defiant on Wednesday in her opposition to existing regulation and the findings of her own department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After taking office, DeVos had to sign off on thousands of borrower defense claims that had already been approved by the previous administration. As pointed out by Wilson during the hearing, she added three words below her signature: \"with extreme displeasure.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, DeVos said that the Obama administration had \"weaponized borrower defense against schools that they didn't like.\" When asked directly, by Democrats Kim Schrier of Washington state and later by Andy Levin of Michigan, whether she believed Corinthian students had indeed been defrauded, the secretary did not answer.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>'People Just Laugh in My Face'\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Rep.

Just weeks before DeVos was sworn in as secretary, the unit recommended to the department's political leadership that these borrowers deserve no less than full relief from their student debts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11782808,news_11637321,news_10908778","label":"Related coverage "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://apps.npr.org/documents/document.html?id=6572882-1-9-2017-Memo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">One memo, dated Jan. 9, 2017\u003c/a>, begins: \"Corinthian Colleges, Inc.

Under this new model, most borrowers are unlikely to qualify for full relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the release, the department's new plan will compare the median earnings of defrauded borrowers to the earnings of students who attended similar programs at other schools. \"If the earnings from the school in question under the [borrower defense] application are lower than the median for that program at all comparable schools, then they will be determined to have suffered harm and will receive student loan relief.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11782808,news_11637321,news_10908778\" label=\"Related coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This new plan, DeVos said Tuesday, \"treats students fairly and ensures that taxpayers who did not go to college or who faithfully paid off their student loans do not shoulder student loan costs for those who didn't suffer harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos has argued for years that the Obama administration's full-relief interpretation of the borrower defense rule was too lenient. In a\u003ca href=\"https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2017/09/22/mackinac-devos-romney-mcdaniel/105897636/\"> 2017 speech\u003c/a>, she said, \"While students should have protections from predatory practices, schools and taxpayers should also be treated fairly as well.

That's why it's imperative that we consider each Borrower Defense claim individually. To force taxpayers to provide blanket forgiveness would be abandoning our duty to be good stewards of tax dollars. The Department will provide student loan relief to those who qualify for it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos' new plan is the department's second attempt at resolving the more than 200,000 outstanding borrower defense claims. The first attempt was blocked in May 2018 by Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. Kim said the department's use of income data violated students' privacy, and she ordered DeVos to stop collecting on the debts of certain Corinthian students. In October, Kim fined DeVos $100,000 for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/10/25/773334681/devos-held-in-contempt-of-court-ed-department-fined-100-000-in-student-loan-case\">contempt of court\u003c/a> after it was revealed the department had not stopped collections.

It concludes: \"Given this extensively well-documented, pervasive, and highly publicized misconduct, the Department has determined that the value of an ITT education — like Corinthian — is likely either negligible or non-existent. ... Accordingly, it is appropriate for the Department to award eligible borrowers full relief.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The memos also include quotes from individual borrowers.

Under this new model, most borrowers are unlikely to qualify for full relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the release, the department's new plan will compare the median earnings of defrauded borrowers to the earnings of students who attended similar programs at other schools. \"If the earnings from the school in question under the [borrower defense] application are lower than the median for that program at all comparable schools, then they will be determined to have suffered harm and will receive student loan relief.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"aside","attributes":{"named":{"postid":"news_11782808,news_11637321,news_10908778","label":"Related coverage "},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This new plan, DeVos said Tuesday, \"treats students fairly and ensures that taxpayers who did not go to college or who faithfully paid off their student loans do not shoulder student loan costs for those who didn't suffer harm.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos has argued for years that the Obama administration's full-relief interpretation of the borrower defense rule was too lenient.

The first attempt was blocked in May 2018 by Magistrate Judge Sallie Kim of the U.S. District Court in San Francisco. Kim said the department's use of income data violated students' privacy, and she ordered DeVos to stop collecting on the debts of certain Corinthian students. In October, Kim fined DeVos $100,000 for \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2019/10/25/773334681/devos-held-in-contempt-of-court-ed-department-fined-100-000-in-student-loan-case\">contempt of court\u003c/a> after it was revealed the department had not stopped collections.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos issued the new guidance last fall, after scrapping Obama-era rules that she said were forcing schools to violate the due process rights of the accused. But survivors' advocates filed a federal lawsuit shortly after, arguing DeVos' replacement guidelines discriminate against alleged victims and discourage them from reporting assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The message that is sent is that the administration believes that women who report sexual harassment and violence are liars,\" says Jennifer Reisch, legal director of Equal Rights Advocates, one of three groups who brought the lawsuit. She spoke to reporters Thursday, after a hearing on the lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos' interim guidelines allow schools to demand a higher standard of evidence that would make it tougher to prove an assault, permit schools to hear appeals only from the accused, and let investigations go on for an indefinite amount of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that was allowed in the Obama era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prior administration also used to require schools to protect alleged victims during investigations; now, that's up to schools' discretion. And the old norm of making the accused student stay away from the accuser is now considered unfair. Schools are supposed to be even-handed — prompting some to rely on \"no-contact\" orders that apply mutually to both students.

Education Secretary Betsy DeVos issued the new guidance last fall, after scrapping Obama-era rules that she said were forcing schools to violate the due process rights of the accused. But survivors' advocates filed a federal lawsuit shortly after, arguing DeVos' replacement guidelines discriminate against alleged victims and discourage them from reporting assaults.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The message that is sent is that the administration believes that women who report sexual harassment and violence are liars,\" says Jennifer Reisch, legal director of Equal Rights Advocates, one of three groups who brought the lawsuit. She spoke to reporters Thursday, after a hearing on the lawsuit at the U.S. District Court in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeVos' interim guidelines allow schools to demand a higher standard of evidence that would make it tougher to prove an assault, permit schools to hear appeals only from the accused, and let investigations go on for an indefinite amount of time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that was allowed in the Obama era.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The prior administration also used to require schools to protect alleged victims during investigations; now, that's up to schools' discretion. And the old norm of making the accused student stay away from the accuser is now considered unfair. Schools are supposed to be even-handed — prompting some to rely on \"no-contact\" orders that apply mutually to both students. But Reisch argues that putting the onus on alleged victims unfairly punishes them, by restricting where they can go and live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It is sending a message that you come forward at your peril,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robin Thurston, a senior counsel for the Democracy Forward Foundation and one of the attorneys bringing the lawsuit against the Trump administration's guidance says that \"survivors are being chilled from coming forward.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The guidance harms women,\" Thurston says. \"And we think there's really significant evidence that the decision-makers at the Department of Education were motivated by a view that women and girls in general make false accusations of sexual assault.
