The Warriors have ruled Steph Curry out of the next two games (tonight and at Mavericks on Monday), but he will be incorporated into live practice in coming days. Evaluated again when they return home on Tuesday. GSW starts homestand on Wednesday vs Nets.

@CAgovernor 2/2 TICAS' @MannyRodri7 said, "Looking forward, state leaders must continue to lead the nation by prioritizing long-term strategies that ensure CA's public colleges are accessible, affordable, & debt-free for all seeking a #HigherEd credential." https://t.co/JsPBtbluK1

1/2 We applaud @CAgovernor & the CA legislature’s commitment to #HigherEd access for Californians. Amid an ever-changing federal landscape, we commend CA policymakers leading the way through their commitments to college affordability, access, and transparency.

[TICAS @TICAS_org]

3/3 CA is leading the way in putting students first — especially those most impacted by problems with the Better FAFSA & changes at the federal level. We're proud to stand with our partners who contributed in advancing affordability, accountability, & opportunity in CA #HigherEd.

[TICAS @TICAS_org]

2/3 AB 123 would:
✅ $20M for emergency #FinAid at community colleges
✅ $15M for Dreamer Resource Liaisons
✅ $5.1M to CBOs for #FinAid outreach
✅ Use 2020 3-yr cohort default rate to certify #CalGrant schools
✅ Approve BPPE’s use of STRF for claim admin + OSAR

[TICAS @TICAS_org]

1/3 Big win for CA students! The #CABudget Higher Ed Trailer Bill (#AB123) includes key investments to boost affordability, accountability & student support. Thanks to champions @CAgovernor @AlvarezSD @AsmJesseGabriel @CASpeakerRivas @SenJohnLaird @Scott_Wiener @ilike_mike!

TICAS joined 40 partners in urging the Senate to reject the House #Reconciliation bill’s misguided attempt to divert needed resources from #HigherEd to finance tax benefits for some of the wealthiest Americans. Read more: https://t.co/B8qa5oV1PV

2/2 Showcasing how California’s community colleges use the MESA program to prepare a diverse group of students to transfer to 4-year institutions to pursue bachelor's degrees in STEM majors. Read more about the MESA program here: https://t.co/HUPxjSk9S5

1/2 NEW | Utilizing insights from national #STEM equity leaders and participants of the Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) Program, this report looks at the role of colleges in growing CA’s STEM pipeline.

#Students and borrowers have been placed in a state of chaos due to recent decisions from the Trump administration regarding @usedgov. #HigherEd expert Michele Zampini, Senior Director, shared with @kcalnews what borrowers need to know.

3/3 With the current federal gov't prepared to reduce consumer protections, it is imperative that members of the CA legislature #VoteNO on SB 790. Read more about the consumer protections that would no longer apply if #SB790 is passed: https://t.co/A8Cn68dgWg

[TICAS @TICAS_org]

2/3 SB 790 would enable CA to join NC-SARA and allow out-of-state institutions to more easily operate online #PostSec programs, but without many of the robust consumer protections that have protected Californians for the past 20 years.

[TICAS @TICAS_org]

1/3 NEW BLOG & FACT SHEET | Californians have long benefited from strong protections against unscrupulous #PostSec programs compared to residents of other states, especially as the world of online education has expanded.
