and Education Institute. Speaking to

Public education has been one of the most important contributors to the development of prosperity and democracy in the U.S. Yet, today, both democracy and public
education are in crisis. The CSU and UC have suffered devastating budget cuts,
reducing access and the quality of education and forcing students to rely upon
student loans. 37 million Americans now
owe a combined $1 Trillion in student loans, while CSU students now graduate
with an average of $16, 648 in debt.

Board of Education decision, we find schools are more segregated than in the
1970’s, and California schools are most segregated of all for Latino Students,
