Cutting Pell Grants is a clear message: college should only be for the rich. The Trump Administration’s budget slashes aid for low-income students, shutting the door on opportunity. Higher education must be accessible to all—not just the wealthy. #SavePell#EducationForAll
"Framing #DEI as antithetical to merit is a false and dangerous dichotomy. True meritocracy rewards ability and effort. But when systemic barriers deny people access to opportunity based on race, gender, income, or ability, “merit” becomes a rigged concept.
The most vulnerable institution in America to this authoritarian wave is Education. K-12 and higher education are under attack right now; but in most cases these elections are so "down ballot" that nobody pays attention until it's too late. #EducationForAll
Listening to the Latino Vote Podcast with @ChuckRocha and @madrid_mike and Mike said what has had me in a funk for weeks. "Wake the fuck up...this is who we are. This is who America is. Quit pretending that we are anything else." It's a stark realization.
Good morning from Sacramento. Day 2 of the @ccleague Excellence in Trusteeship Conference. Today I get sworn in to the California Community College Trustee Board. Excited to represent @palomarcomets on this statewide board. #gocommets
As Molly and I are getting away for a few days for some earned down time, I wanted to update you on the most recent Palomar College Board meeting and more importantly, wish you a happy and safe holiday season. #gocommets#PalomarCollege
