  1. Rita L: "We all did a good job -- solid teamwork & commitment to the task, CSU & students/families who depend on public higher ed. Go CFA!
  2. Had fruitful discussions with Chronicle of Higher Ed and Inside Higher Ed about the crisis our CSU system is facing. President Lil was fab!
  3. Some in the delegation caught early flights back to CA. Tired but feeling fulfilled after such productive meetings with various entities.
  4. About Solis, it's exciting to see one of our own CSU alums in charge.
  5. Final meeting of the day at office of Hilda Solis, Dept of Labor. A lot of concern about stimulus $ being used to justify cutting the CSU.
  6. President Lil just finished a phone interview with the Wall Street Journal--CSU's rejection of qualified students is making everyone angry!
  7. Just left Dept of Educ meeting--they heard what we had to say.
  8. Relieved that the CFA delegation passed the security clearance for the White House . . . one never knows what can pop up from our past! :)
  9. Dennis Cardoza's office agreed with letter sent to the Gov: purpose of the stabilization fund is "to avoid harmful cuts to educ programs"
  10. Wish everyone could have been at the meeting with the White House! There's lots of concern for the potential cuts to educ due to trigger.
  11. Jackie Spears' office was incredibly receptive! We got a "homework" assignment to follow up with her office re HR 467, dealing with Calpers
  12. We are beginning so many relationships! Everyone wants to be updated of our adventures and struggles, especiallly the 4/1 trigger date!
  13. Stood in front of the United States Supreme Court where history has been made and took many pictures with students. Incredible experience!
  14. Just finished a great meeting with Congressman Schiff's office. He's so committed to protecting the CSU and is supportive of CFA's goals!
  15. It's exciting to be able to share the data on the benefits of higher education, it's surprising that it seems like new info to the staff.
  16. Speaker Pelosi's office was so supportive to our ask of prioritizing higher education. We're pleased to have leadership's support.
  17. Just left Congresswoman Richardson's office, who signed letter to the Gov and is super supportive of the economic stimulus and CSU Pomona.
  18. CFA thanks the 20 + congressmembers that signed the letter telling our Gov he does not have the ability to intercept stabilization funds!
  19. Just had a great meeting with the amazing Jim Costa. He's authentic and supportive of the CSU system and his constituents from CSU Fresno.
  20. Waiting for our first meeting. Rainy day, but our spirits are high. A colleague took a dive in the rain, but has quickly rebounded!
