Cover Story: Alquist Statement on Salary Cap for Incoming CSU Presidents
In response to the California State University Board of Trustees decision to impose a salary cap for incoming university presidents, Senator Elaine Alquist made the following statement: “I’m glad that the Board took a step in the right direction and looked to my SB 952 in unanimously adopting a policy to cap the salary of incoming university presidents. Nonetheless, I still feel strongly that something this important should be codified in statute, not just in a Board policy that can be changed at any time. This is the only way to really protect our students.” Legislative Spotlight
Editorial: Honor the memory of Steve Jobs by signing up to be an organ donor
Friday, October 7, 2011 San Jose Mercury News If you're looking for a fitting way to honor the memory of Steve Jobs, consider signing up today to become an organ and tissue donor. When Jobs needed a liver transplant in 2009, he learned that more than 20,000 Californians were waiting in line for an organ. Jobs had the means and know-how to obtain a transplant in Tennessee, extending his life for two years. But other Californians aren't as fortunate. Tragically, about one-third of them will die waiting to get a transplant. It doesn't have to be this way. Thanks in part to Jobs' efforts, California has made great strides in its efforts to increase the number of organ donors in the state. 2012 Press Releases
