School Beat: Building Integrated Schools Few things are as of much interest to parents of children who will soon be entering elementary, middle or high school then how students are actually assigned to schools. In San Francisco we have had a system of family-ranked preference, called “school choice,” combined with a lottery based on socioeconomic factors for those schools receiving more requests than available openings. That system, known as the “Diversity Index,” was an effort to accommodate individual preferences while simultaneou...

Mercury News Continues Misrepresentation of June UCSC Protest Note: This letter is not about the tragic death of UCSC Chancellor Denice Denton, but rather irresponsible journalism in the wake of her passing. I’d encourage folks to read my much more thought out analysis on Denton and the future of UCSC here: http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2006/07/02/18284784.php...

A Complex Tragedy: Denice Denton and UC Santa Cruz Note: The intended purpose of this piece is to help various activist communities in Santa Cruz, and the UC system at large, better understand Chancellor Denice Denton’s role at the University, and to spark a community conversation about how we will move forward for the better. I have specifically chosen not to speculate about the circumstances surrounding Denton’s death, focusing instead on discussing her achievements, contextualizing her criticism, and analyzing the potential for radical soc...

A Little Pearl of Financial Irresponsibility -- Privatization at Work in the Library The safeguards of financial accountability got bypassed to approve a "gift" that transfers the expenses of a corporate-philanthropic advertising rag to public funding. A publication that solicits for the corporate interests of Friends & Foundation was approved by "friendly" supervisors in the "wrong" committee. This is a little pearl of a controversy that shows just how shallow the protections of public review really are. This is why privatization always wins. This is what corporate phila...
