The historic ruling overturns a spate of cases reaching back nearly half a century and will force the nation’s private and public universities to dramatically alter how they select their students.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Rev.

To be told now that we cannot use race as a particular factor is going to cause us to think very hard to figure out a way to continue our mission.’[/pullquote]Writing for the court’s majority, Chief Justice John Roberts said that for too long universities have “concluded, wrongly, that the touchstone of an individual’s identity is not challenges bested, skills built, or lessons learned but the color of their skin. Our constitutional history does not tolerate that choice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The entire point of the Equal Protection Clause is that treating someone differently because of their skin color is not like treating them differently because they are from a city or from a suburb, or because they play the violin poorly or well,” Roberts said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision, bringing a long-sought conservative goal to fruition, comes nearly 30 years after California voters \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/ballot/1996/prop209_11_1996.html\">passed Proposition 209\u003c/a>, which prohibited the state’s public universities — including those in the University of California and California State University systems — from considering race and gender in admissions and hiring decisions. But that law did not apply to the state’s private colleges, including University of San Francisco, Stanford and Santa Clara universities, who until now have continued to consider race as a factor in admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leaders of numerous private colleges across California were quick to denounce the court’s decision, calling it a major setback to efforts aimed at diversifying campuses and to expand opportunities for underrepresented student populations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The ruling is quite disturbing and really quite challenging to us,” said Rev.

In the Los Rios district, 50% of classes are still being offered online, compared with 15% pre-pandemic. About half of courses are also online at College of the Canyons and the Los Angeles district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the most part, those colleges are offering many online courses not for public health reasons, but because students have indicated they prefer remote classes. Community colleges across the state have suffered dramatic enrollment declines since the onset of the pandemic, with the system as a whole losing hundreds of thousands of students. Colleges are doing what they can to bring students back, and that often means offering online classes, which often receive more enrollments than in-person classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At College of the Canyons, about three-quarters of students attend part-time and are often “doing other things, like working or caring for family or both,” said Eric Harnish, a spokesperson for the college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, having the flexibility to attend online is something they really appreciate,” he added. “And by having significant numbers of classes online, we’re giving them the opportunity to actually attend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Monitoring monkeypox\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>To varying degrees, many California colleges are ready to confront positive cases of the monkeypox virus on their campuses, which has already happened at a few universities across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials with campuses across the three systems said they are consulting with their local health officials on plans and possible responses. Supply of the monkeypox vaccine is low across the country, but officials said they have requested vaccines as soon as they’re available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Davis, if a student believes they have monkeypox symptoms, that student will get a telehealth appointment and, if needed, will be tested for the virus. If that student needs treatment, the campus plans to work with Yolo County’s public health department to secure that treatment, or the student can get treated through UC Davis Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the experience of dealing with COVID-19 could help colleges respond to monkeypox, the virus also will present new challenges, said Souleles, the UC Irvine official. One of the main differences is that if a student contracts monkeypox, the isolation period could be much longer than is required for COVID. Instead of the five or seven days of isolation that COVID requires, a positive case of monkeypox could necessitate that a student isolates four to six weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to think through what that means and how that might be managed, like where that isolation takes place, whether it’s on campus or at home or case-by-case-dependent. So we’re making sure we have a plan and that we’re communicating that in advance of our return to fall, so that families and students know what to expect,” Souleles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/california-colleges-open-for-fall-term-with-relaxed-covid-rules/677040\">\u003cem>This story was originally reported by EdSource.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"More than two years into the pandemic, the start of the fall term has meant few mask mandates, less testing and more face-to-face classes on campuses statewide.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1661368532,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":39,"wordCount":2117},"headData":{"title":"California Colleges Kick Off New School Year With Few, if Any, COVID Restrictions | KQED","description":"More than two years into the pandemic, the start of the fall term has meant few mask mandates, less testing and more face-to-face classes on campuses statewide.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"California Colleges Kick Off New School Year With Few, if Any, COVID Restrictions","datePublished":"2022-08-23T21:59:33.000Z","dateModified":"2022-08-24T19:15:32.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"disqusIdentifier":"11923263 https://ww2.kqed.org/news/?p=11923263","disqusUrl":"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2022/08/23/california-colleges-kick-off-new-school-year-with-few-if-any-covid-restrictions/","disqusTitle":"California Colleges Kick Off New School Year With Few, if Any, COVID Restrictions","source":"EdSource","nprByline":"\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/author/mburke\">Michael Burke\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/author/asmith\">Ashley A.

Officials there are confident they can do the same this fall, though he added that “we have the mechanisms in place to change the mode of instruction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11923284\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-scaled.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11923284\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"a young woman with dark hair in a green jacket sits with a black mask at a laptop\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1578\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-800x493.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-1020x629.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-160x99.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-1536x947.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-2048x1263.jpg 2048w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2022/08/GettyImages-1234977936-1920x1184.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">First-year student Karla Pulgarin was among the students who attended in-person instruction at Los Angeles City College beginning in 2021. The Los Angeles Community College District, which includes nine schools, rescinded its vaccine mandate over the summer. \u003ccite>(Al Seib/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The situation is much different at most community colleges, which are still offering more courses online than before the pandemic. In the Los Rios district, 50% of classes are still being offered online, compared with 15% pre-pandemic. About half of courses are also online at College of the Canyons and the Los Angeles district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the most part, those colleges are offering many online courses not for public health reasons, but because students have indicated they prefer remote classes. Community colleges across the state have suffered dramatic enrollment declines since the onset of the pandemic, with the system as a whole losing hundreds of thousands of students. Colleges are doing what they can to bring students back, and that often means offering online classes, which often receive more enrollments than in-person classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At College of the Canyons, about three-quarters of students attend part-time and are often “doing other things, like working or caring for family or both,” said Eric Harnish, a spokesperson for the college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So, having the flexibility to attend online is something they really appreciate,” he added. “And by having significant numbers of classes online, we’re giving them the opportunity to actually attend.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Monitoring monkeypox\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>To varying degrees, many California colleges are ready to confront positive cases of the monkeypox virus on their campuses, which has already happened at a few universities across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials with campuses across the three systems said they are consulting with their local health officials on plans and possible responses. Supply of the monkeypox vaccine is low across the country, but officials said they have requested vaccines as soon as they’re available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UC Davis, if a student believes they have monkeypox symptoms, that student will get a telehealth appointment and, if needed, will be tested for the virus. If that student needs treatment, the campus plans to work with Yolo County’s public health department to secure that treatment, or the student can get treated through UC Davis Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the experience of dealing with COVID-19 could help colleges respond to monkeypox, the virus also will present new challenges, said Souleles, the UC Irvine official. One of the main differences is that if a student contracts monkeypox, the isolation period could be much longer than is required for COVID. Instead of the five or seven days of isolation that COVID requires, a positive case of monkeypox could necessitate that a student isolates four to six weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re trying to think through what that means and how that might be managed, like where that isolation takes place, whether it’s on campus or at home or case-by-case-dependent. So we’re making sure we have a plan and that we’re communicating that in advance of our return to fall, so that families and students know what to expect,” Souleles said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/california-colleges-open-for-fall-term-with-relaxed-covid-rules/677040\">\u003cem>This story was originally reported by EdSource.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11923263/california-colleges-kick-off-new-school-year-with-few-if-any-covid-restrictions","authors":["byline_news_11923263"],"categories":["news_18540"],"tags":["news_20334","news_221","news_27989","news_29535","news_206","news_29933"],"featImg":"news_11923267","label":"source_news_11923263"},"news_11921441":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11921441","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11921441","score":null,"sort":[1659614432000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"new-batch-of-csu-records-shows-professors-disciplined-for-sexual-harassment","title":"New Batch of CSU Records Shows Professors Disciplined for Sexual Harassment","publishDate":1659614432,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Fifty-four faculty members, coaches and other non-management employees at 12 California State University campuses were found to have committed violations of sexual misconduct and discrimination policies in cases resolved between 2017 and 2021, some resulting in firings and resignations, new information released by the university system shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The violations included unwanted sexual advances, including requests for sex, unwanted touching and kissing, and discrimination based on gender and race, according to the records.
