José López Zamorano La Red Hispana

Haceexactamente un año, cien tos de miles de “dreamers” y muchos inmigrantes más pasaron un Día de Acción de Gracias agridulce, porque después de tantas promesas no se alcanzó la reforma migratoria con una ruta a la ciudada nía que les prometieron los demócra tas y el presidente Joe Biden.

En vísperas de otro “Thanksgiving”, los cientos de miles de Dreamers siguen en un limbo, con la esperanza de que después de las elecciones del 8 de noviembre sea posible revivir una ini ciativa de ley que les garantice estabi lidad y certidumbre legal, durante los trabajos de la actual legislatura y an tes de que asuma la próxima durante la primera semana de enero.

Sabemos que algunos senadores demócratas están corriendo contra el reloj para tratar de convencerla por lo 10 republicanos a sumarse a esta ini ciativa que representa una retribución justa y merecida para estos cientos de miles de soñadores que se han convertido en esenciales para los Es tados Unidos, especialmente durante la pandemia.

El Día de Acción de Gracias, el prin cipal feriado del país y un recordato rio nacional del agradecimiento que los colonos europeos hicieron por la generosidad de los indios Wampa noags, sería en un momento inme jorable para lograr un acuerdo qué reconozca las enormes contribucio nes que han hecho estos jóvenes y sus familias al país.

Dos de los principales impulsores de una reforma legal a favor de los Dreamers, el senador cubano ameri cano Bob Menéndez y el senador por Illinois Dick Durbin se encuentran en mangas de camisa buscando el apoyo de esos 10 colegas republi canos que podrían hacer la diferen cia en la vida de cientos de miles de jóvenes.

Entre las opciones que han trascendi do, figura la inclusión de aspectos re lacionados con la seguridad fronteri za, a fin de convencer a los senadores republicanos, de que una política mi gratoria sensible, digna y humanitaria, no está peleada con la necesidad de salvaguardar la integridad territorial de los Estados Unidos.

Pero lamentablemente Washington vive todavía una atmósfera de po larización y división política. El sector más extremo de la bancada republi cana ha dejado en claro que su prio ridad número uno será el lanzamiento de investigaciones contra la familia Biden. Otro sector quiere darle prio ridad a las iniciativas de control fron terizo. Sobre la reforma migratoria, silencio.

Por eso tiene razón el senador Durbin

en el sentido de qué cualquier vehícu lo legislativo a favor de la legalización de los Dreamers tiene que concret arse antes del fin de año, porque to das las señales indican que la nueva mayoría republicana de la cámara de representantes trae ganas de una venganza política.

Pero la realidad es que más de 400 años después de aquel Thanksgiv ing original de 1620, Estados Unidos todavía no emite un agradecimiento formal a los muchos inmigrantes in documentados que fueron clave para mantener al país en pie durante la pandemia. Una nueva ley para los Dreamers sería un gran primer paso.

Exactlyone year ago, hundreds of thousands of "Dreamers" and many more immigrants spent a bittersweet Thanksgiving, because after so many promises, the immigration reform with a route to citizenship that the Democrats and president Joe Biden promised them was not achieved.

On the eve of another Thanksgiv ing, the hundreds of thousands of Dreamers remain in limbo, hoping that after the November 8 elections

it will be possible to revive a bill that guarantees them stability and legal certainty, during the works of the current legislature and before the next one takes office during the first week of January.

We know that some Democratic senators are racing against time to try to convince the 10 Republicans to join this initiative that represents a fair and deserved retribution for these hundreds of thousands of Dreamers who have become es sential to the United States, espe cially during the pandemic.

Thanksgiving, the nation's biggest holiday and a national reminder of the appreciation European set tlers made for the generosity of the Wampanoag Indians, would be an excellent time to reach an agree ment that recognizes the enormous contributions these young people and their families have made to the country.

Two of the main promoters of a le gal reform in favor of the Dreamers, the Cuban-American Senator Bob Menéndez and the Illinois Senator Dick Durbin are in their shirtsleeves seeking the support of those 10 Republican colleagues who could make a difference in life of hundreds of thousands of young people.

Among the options that have come to light is the inclusion of aspects re lated to border security, in order to convince Republican senators that a sensitive, dignified and humanitar ian immigration policy is not at odds with the need to safeguard the ter ritorial integrity of the United States.

But unfortunately, Washington still lives in an atmosphere of polariza tion and political division. The most extreme sector of the Republi can bench has made it clear that its number one priority will be the launch of investigations against the Biden family. Another sector wants to prioritize border control initiatives. On immigration reform, silence.

That is why Senator Durbin is right in the sense that any legislative ve hicle in favor of the legalization of the Dreamers has to materialize before the end of the year, because all the signs indicate that the new Republican majority in the House of Representatives wants political revenge.

But the reality is that more than 400 years after that original Thanksgiv ing of 1620, the United States still hasn't issued a formal thank you to the many undocumented im migrants who were key to keeping the country on its feet during the pandemic. A new law for Dreamers would be a great first step.

FLU AND OTHER RESPIRATORY VIRUSES INCREASING IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY

AUMENTA LA GRIPE Y OTROS VIRUS RESPIRATORIOS EN EL

CONDADO DE SANTA CLARA

Lo que puede ver con los datos de las aguas re siduales

A diferencia de los resultados de las pruebas de los consultorios médicos u hospitales, las aguas residuales brindan datos sobre todas las perso nas que viven en todas las residencias conecta das a la alcantarilla, incluidas las muchas perso nas que nunca se hacen la prueba porque no pueden darse el lujo de tomarse el tiempo libre o el costo de ver a un médico.

Santa Clara County Public Health CONDADO

Santa Clara County Public Health

tals,

SANTA

CLARA COUNTY, CALIF. – New data show that flu activity is higher in Santa Clara County than usually seen at this time of year, with levels increasing since the start of November. County of Santa Clara Public Health Department data show the weekly percentage of emergency department visits for influenza-like illness is about triple what it was for the same time period during the 2019-2020 flu season, right before the COVID pandemic.

Today, Public Health is adding a new tool for the public to track flu transmission and risk in com munities. Building on techniques developed dur ing the COVID pandemic to track community virus spread through wastewater analysis, Public Health today published wastewater data for flu concentration, one of the first dashboards of its kind from a local public health department in the country.

“Flu is here and on the rise. These new data are a good reminder that it is not too late to get a flu shot,” said Dr. Sara Cody, Health Officer for the County of Santa Clara and Director of the Public Health Department. “Seeing rising levels of flu in wastewater provides us with an early indication of community risk, and alerts health systems to a potential surge in patients.”

This is the first winter in which Santa Clara County faces not only increased flu and COVID activity, but also unusually high levels of RSV, which is most af fecting young children and the hospitals and doc tor’s offices caring for these families. There are safe and effective vaccines for flu and COVID; they offer the best protection against severe illness. Since there is no vaccine for RSV, it is especially important that people wash their hands, cover coughs and sneezes, and stay home when sick.

"Our early indications, from the number of patients seeking treatment and hospitalizations for flu and RSV, have our medical staff preparing for an influx of people seeking treatment in our hospitals and clinics,” said Dr. Vidya Mony, Pediatric Infectious Diseases Specialist, Associate Hospital Epidemi ologist at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. “Our care teams are already working to safely meet the needs of our patients."

What you can see with wastewater data

Unlike test results from doctors’ offices or hospi

The new web page at sccphd.org/fludata is up dated weekly and shows flu concentration in each of the four Santa Clara County sewersheds: Gilroy, Palo Alto, San Jose, and Sunnyvale. People can view if flu transmission is increasing or decreas ing in their communities and how the current level compares to previous weeks and months. The dashboard tracks influenza A, the type of flu most likely to land someone in the hospital or worse. Data shows more flu than was the case during the first two years of the COVID pandemic, when there was less flu likely due to COVID prevention activities like masking and distancing that also pre vent flu.

Levels of virus and transmission can vary greatly in different parts of the County and fluctuate. Data show levels of influenza A are above where they were in late October across all four sewersheds.

How wastewater analysis works

Influenza A is shed in feces and other body fluids by individuals who have the virus and can be mea sured in wastewater. Shedding can come from individuals experiencing symptoms of influenza illness as well as those who are infected but as ymptomatic, giving a fuller picture of spread in the community. Wastewater data is not connected to a single household or even small neighborhoods. Samples are taken from water that combines the output of thousands of households.

The project is made possible through partnership with Stanford University’s Wastewater SCAN Proj ect and all four wastewater treatment plant part ners in Santa Clara County.

It’s not too late to get a flu shot

Flu is caused by the influenza virus; it is not the same as the common cold, or COVID. People over age 65, young children, pregnant women, and people who have health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease are especially vulnerable to coming down with a severe case of the flu. The flu shot is the best prevention. Every person aged 6 months and older is encouraged to get the flu vaccine every year.

DE SANTA CLARA, CALIF. –Nuevos datos muestran que la actividad de la gripe es más alta en el Condado de Santa Clara de lo que suele observarse en esta época del año, con niveles que aumentan con siderablemente desde los principios de noviem bre. Los datos del Departamento de Salud Públi ca del Condado de Santa Clara muestran que el porcentaje semanal de visitas al departamento de emergencias por enfermedades similares a la influenza es aproximadamente el triple du rante el mismo período durante la misma tem porada de influenza 2019-2020, justo antes de la pandemia de COVID.

Hoy, Salud Pública está agregando una nueva herramienta para que el público rastree la trans misión y el riesgo de la influenza en las comuni dades. Basándose en las técnicas desarrolladas durante la pandemia de COVID para rastrear la propagación del virus en la comunidad a través del análisis de las aguas residuales, Salud Públi ca publicó hoy datos de las aguas residuales para la concentración de gripe, uno de los prim eros tableros de este tipo de un departamento de salud pública local en el país.

“La gripe está aquí y en aumento. Estos nue vos datos son un buen recordatorio de que no es demasiado tarde para vacunarse contra la gripe”, dijo la Dra. Sara Cody, Oficial de Salud del Condado de Santa Clara y Directora del Depar tamento de Salud Pública. “Ver el aumento de los niveles de gripe en las aguas residuales nos brinda una indicación temprana del riesgo de la comunidad y alerta a los sistemas de salud so bre un posible aumento de pacientes”.

Éste es el primer invierno en el que el condado de Santa Clara enfrenta no solo una mayor activ idad de la gripe y el COVID, sino también niveles inusualmente altos de VRS, que afecta principal mente a los niños pequeños y a los hospitales y consultorios médicos que atienden a estas fa milias. Existen vacunas seguras y efectivas para la gripe y el COVID; ofrecen la mejor protección contra enfermedades graves. Dado que no ex iste una vacuna para el VRS, es especialmente importante que las personas se laven las ma nos, se cubran la boca al toser y estornudar, y se queden en casa cuando estén enfermas.

"Nuestros primeros indicios, desde la cantidad de pacientes que buscan tratamiento y hospi talizaciones por influenza y VRS tienen a nuestro personal médico preparándose para una aflu encia de personas que buscan tratamiento en nuestros hospitales y clínicas", dijo la Dra. Vidya Mony, Especialista en Enfermedades Infecciosas Pediátricas, Asociada, Epidemióloga del hospital Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. "Nuestros equipos de atención ya están trabajando para satisfacer de manera segura las necesidades de nuestros pacientes".

La nueva página web sccphd.org/fludata se actualiza semanalmente y muestra la concen tración de gripe en cada una de las cuatro cuen cas de alcantarillado del Condado de Santa Clara: Gilroy, Palo Alto, San José y Sunnyvale. Las personas pueden ver si la transmisión de la gripe está aumentando o disminuyendo en sus comunidades y cómo se compara el nivel actual con las semanas y meses anteriores. El tablero rastrea la influenza A, el tipo de gripe que tiene más probabilidades de llevar a alguien al hos pital o algo peor. Los datos muestran más gripe de la que hubo durante los dos primeros años de la pandemia de COVID, cuando había menos probabilidad de gripe debido a las actividades de prevención de COVID, como el uso de mas carillas y el distanciamiento que también previ enen la gripe.

Los niveles de virus y transmisión pueden variar mucho en diferentes partes del Condado y fluc tuar. Los datos muestran que los niveles de influ enza A están por encima de lo que eran a fines de octubre en las cuatro cuencas de alcantaril lado.

Cómo funciona el análisis de aguas residu ales

La influenza A se elimina en las heces y otros fluidos corporales de las personas que tienen el virus y se puede medir en las aguas residuales. La diseminación puede provenir de individuos que experimentan síntomas de la enfermedad de la influenza, así como de aquellos que están infectados pero son asintomáticos, lo que brinda una imagen más completa de la propagación en la comunidad. Los datos de aguas residuales no están conectados a un solo hogar ni a vecindari os pequeños. Las muestras se toman del agua que combina la producción de miles de hogares.

El proyecto es posible gracias a la asociación con el Proyecto SCAN de aguas residuales de la Universidad de Stanford y los cuatro socios de la planta de tratamiento de aguas residuales en el Condado de Santa Clara.

No es demasiado tarde para vacunarse con tra la gripe

La gripe es causada por el virus de la influenza; no es lo mismo que el resfriado común, o CO VID. Las personas mayores de 65 años, los ni ños pequeños, las mujeres embarazadas y las personas que tienen problemas de salud como asma, diabetes o enfermedades cardíacas son especialmente vulnerables a contraer un caso grave de gripe. La vacuna contra la gripe es la mejor prevención. Se anima a todas las perso nas de 6 meses en adelante a que se vacunen contra la gripe cada año.

ALARMING SURGE OF PEDIATRIC RSV

The disease, which affects very young children, currently has no cure.

Acommon virus with flu-like symptoms is infecting very young children in large numbers, leading to a spike in the num ber of emergency room visits and hospital izations in recent weeks.

Respiratory syncytial virus, or RSV, was first identified in 1956; there is no vaccine al though clinical trials are underway with preg nant women, said Dr. Priya Soni, a Pediatric Infectious Disease Specialist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.

“There is no treatment or therapeutic antiviral for RSV virus,” Soni added, speaking at a na tional Ethnic Media News briefing last week. Babies are getting ill because they have smaller airways and they’re not able to clear secretions like older adults.

“For us, our virus can be just a mild cold but in babies they can get bronchiolitis and other complications,” she said.

To make matters worse, the Centers for Dis ease Control (CDC) is reporting large num bers of flu cases across the country, espe cially in Georgia and Florida. RSV could spike later.

“We hope that everything doesn’t coincide at the same time as RSV surging, but we are seeing an uptick in flu cases as well,” Soni said.

The journal Lancet Respiratory Medicine published a study in November estimating that 1 in 50 children under age 5 around the world die from RSV. It is the second leading cause of death after malaria and kills be tween 100,000 and 200,000 babies under the age of one every year.

Dr. Mina Hakim usually sees more RSV pa tients in January or February. He is a pediat rics specialist at South Central Family Health Center in Los Angeles. “It’s very unusual to see it this early,” he said. He worries what will happen in the next few months

“This is coming to a point where it’s over whelming our ERs and our ICUs, and our hospitals,” he said.

Whites, Hispanics, and Native Americans have a higher risk of infection, according to the CDC. But Hakim said the highest risk population is children less than six months old.

Hakim noted the general overall hospitaliza tions rate year to year for RSV is about 13 per 100,000, or 0.3%. “For children less than six months of age, the hospitalization rate can be up to 2 percent. So there’s more than a 100fold difference there in the hospitalization rate,” Hakim said.

RSV spreads like the flu—from tiny droplets that are inhaled, unwashed hands, or from hard surfaces where the virus can live up to six hours. But why is RSV surging now?

Dr. Manisha Newaskar, Clinical Assistant Pro fessor of Pulmonary Medicine at Stanford Medicine Children’s Health, said most babies catch RSV before they are two years old and get over it but precautions taken during the COVID pandemic kept babies from being ex posed to it.

“We were taking utmost precautions, right?

We were wearing masks, we were wash ing hands, we were not sending our kids to school if they were having even a sniffle. So that’s what was causing fewer cases and now that things have opened up, the world has gone back to its normal pace,” Dr. Newaskar said.

“The most common symptom is a stuffy nose and babies breathe thru their nose, and that makes them struggle.”

Babies may have a fever and Tylenol can help reduce it. But what lands them in the ER is dif ficulty breathing from swollen airways. RSV babies fuss, don’t eat, and get dehydrated.

Newaskar said that if an infant is less than six months old with cough, congestion, or fever, parents need to keep a close eye on the ba by’s symptoms and see a pediatrician if they get worse. There is a diagnostic test that can determine if the baby has the flu, RSV, or CO VID. The flu comes on quickly, RSV in stages, and all three viruses have similar symptoms.

RSV is a virus and antibiotics won’t help. What does is suctioning mucus from the nose with a bulb and using a humidifier to keep airways moist. Newaskar noted that doctors give the Synagis vaccine to preemies and other highrisk infants to prevent severe RSV disease.

“Studies have found that kids who are ex posed to smoking at early stages are more likely to be in the hospital due to RSV, as are babies who have not been breastfed, Ha kim noted. “Three months of breastfeeding can decrease your risk for severe bronchitis from RSV.” Hakim, 90% of whose patients are below the poverty line, added that working mothers stop breastfeeding because the re alities of life make them return to work sooner than other populations.

Doctors advise the same prevention mea sures people use to avoid COVID.

Newaskar said that good basic hygiene like covering your cough and frequent hand washing can keep babies from getting sick.

“If your child is sick, don’t go to school, right?… even if they are having mild symptoms, it’s best to keep them home to prevent the virus from going around in the school,” she urged.

If you’re planning to travel over the holidays, make sure you’re up to date on our COVID boosters and get a flu shot. “So at least you have protected yourself against two major viruses,” she said.

ARE CALIFORNIA’S HISPANIC SERVING INSTITUTIONS LIVING UP TO THEIR NAME?

California has the most Hispanic Serving Institutions among its colleges of any state — 174, including 21 of 23 California State University campuses and five of the nine University of California campuses. But how well are HSIs — where almost 90% of the state’s Latino undergraduates are enrolled — actually serving Latino students? It’s a mixed bag, students and advocates say.

Asa senior in high school, Ashley Chetla hoped to find a college where she felt supported – not only as a student, but as a Latina. Chetla enrolled at Cal State Los Angeles, drawn to the university’s status as a Hispanic Serving Institution.

“I knew that most of Cal State LA was primari ly Latino and Hispanic, and that’s why I actually chose to go there,” said Chetla, now a fourthyear sociology student. “I wanted to feel like I belonged there.”

But Chetla’s time at an HSI has fallen short of her expectations. When she sought academic advising, she said, she was instructed to sim ply follow the checklist of courses for her ma jor. When she looked into mental health coun seling, she said, she could only find two Latino therapists on campus. And she has yet to take a class from a Latino professor.

While the university takes pride in its HSI sta tus, she said, it has a long way to go in serving its Latino students.

There were 174 Hispanic Serving Institutions in California as of the 2020-21 school year, more than in any other state. The designation, first recognized in the Higher Education Act of 1992, allows colleges and universities to apply for federal grants supporting students in ar eas from financial literacy to academic coun seling. The status is purely numbers-based; HSIs must enroll an undergraduate population that is at least 25% Hispanic and have a high proportion of low-income students.

But some researchers, advocates and stu dents say the HSI designation is not synony mous with specifically meeting the needs of Latino students. Because universities aren’t required to use their grants on projects that specifically benefit Latino students, they say, a divide has emerged between universities that simply enroll high numbers of Latinos and those that intentionally serve that population. Some are pushing for the HSI label to take on more meaning.

“We in California have one of the largest sets of HSIs in the country. I would love to say that that is all driven with intentionality, but it’s not,” said Audrey Dow, senior vice president at The Campaign for College Opportunity. “A lot of the designations are really a function of de mographic shifts in California.”

The ranks of Hispanic Serving Institutions in California are growing: Currently, HSIs enroll almost 90% of the state’s Latino undergradu ate population and have received more than $637 million in federal grants since 1995, ac cording to Excelencia in Education, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting Latino students in higher education. Yet inequalities in educational attainment persist, with only 13% of Latino adults in California holding a bachelor’s degree compared to the statewide average of 34%.

Unlike Historically Black Colleges and Uni versities, most HSIs began as predominantly white institutions that only recently saw a shift in their demographics, said Sylvia Hurtado, a professor of education at UCLA.

As a result, Dow added, HSIs sometimes lack the intentionality of HBCUs in centering stu

dents’ identities and cultures in campus pro grams, curricula and faculty hiring practices.

“No student at a HBCU doesn’t know that they’re at a HBCU. It is front and center of what they do and who they are,” Dow said. “It’s not that for a HSI; we’ve not changed culture, policy, practice, identity to be a HSI.”

In a nationwide analysis of Department of Education grants awarded to HSIs between 2009 and 2016, 85% of grant proposals failed to include programs that were specifically tai lored to Latino student needs.

Lisa Rodriguez, acting director of professional and organizational development at Mt. San Antonio College in Walnut, said some HSI grants are simply intended to strengthen insti tutions, creating confusion on which popula tions the funding should serve.

When managing such grants in the past, she said, she was instructed to spend funding in ways that supported all low-income and un derrepresented students on campus. But re cently, she said, the campus has acted with greater intentionality, using grants to help stu dents develop and run Latino leadership and professional development conferences and

teach professors how to meet Latino student needs in the classroom.

“There has been a misunderstanding for years, thinking that we weren’t supposed to just target Latino students, we were sup posed to target first generation, low-income and Latino students,” Rodriguez said.

Mixed results

Marcela Cuellar, an associate professor of education at UC Davis who has studied HSIs, said research historically shows that Latino students at HSIs graduate at similar rates to their peers at non-HSIs when accounting for outside factors such as colleges’ resources and students’ levels of high school prepara tion. The findings, while not surprising, indicate that HSIs are still in need of more resources and funding, she said.

At California State University, 21 of 23 cam puses are HSIs. But the widespread desig nation has not been enough to close equity gaps. For Latino students who entered the university system as freshmen in 2018, their four-year graduation rate was 29%. In com parison, the overall graduation rate for their cohort was 35%, and the rate for their white

counterparts was 47%.

Latino students make up nearly 76% of the undergraduate student population at Cal State LA, which has met both HSI eligibility criteria since 2001. But the responsibility often falls on professors to seek out outside fund ing and develop initiatives welcoming Latino students in the classroom, said Valerie Tala vera-Bustillos, a professor of Chicana/o and Latina/o Studies and the equity coordinator of the College of Ethnic Studies.

-ALICIA VERDUGO, SECOND-YEAR STU DENT, UCLA

She said the university had also supported some initiatives that could pose barriers to La tino students’ success, such as the CSU’s “15 to Finish,” which encourages students to take five classes every semester to graduate more quickly. While the policy sounds effective in theory, it can set individuals up for failure by disregarding the challenges Latino students face as caregivers, first-generation scholars or part-time workers, Talavera-Bustillos said.

“I think the administration has the ideals there, I just wonder if they know how to address these issues, and I wonder if they understand the need to address these issues,” TalaveraBustillos said.

Chetla said she enrolled at Cal State LA hop ing to take culturally-relevant courses and meet with counselors who could empathize with her challenges as a first-generation stu dent. However, she was disappointed to find that her introductory writing courses focused on American history and culture, but excluded the experiences of Latinos in the country.

“Their website and all that is all for promoting diversity,” Chetla said. “They have that diver sity, but they don’t know how to target each group.”

In an emailed statement, Cal State LA em phasized its commitment to Latino students, pointing to a $3 million HSI grant awarded in 2020 for educating faculty about culturallyrelevant teaching practices and developing academic support services in order to raise graduation and retention rates. The univer sity said it also offers outreach to Latino pre school, grade school and high school stu dents through community programs such as Jumpstart and Go East LA, although these initiatives do not specifically target Latino indi viduals. The university currently has six thera pists on staff who identify as Latinx, a spokes person said.

Cal State LA’s four-year graduation rate for Latino students stands at 24%, up from about 8% in 2018.

René Vellanoweth, dean of the College of Natural and Social Sciences, said he has seen improvement since his own time as a Cal State LA student. He pointed to another HSI grant the university recently received to pro vide more field work opportunities for STEM students. While the program and its outreach efforts will serve all undergraduate students, Vellanoweth believes it will naturally target the university’s large Latino population. He add ed that, for first-generation

“The HSI designation will create more of an outcry for students to really know what’s going on.”

like himself, field work opportunities can be career-changing, but also expensive and dif ficult to obtain.

“We believe that when an individual can ex perience something like being in the field and being immersed in nature … outside of the confines of the university, that this impacts individuals who want to change the commu nity,” Vellanoweth said.

The quest to become an HSI

At the University of California, change is also underway. In 2018, the UC launched its His panic-Serving Institutions Initiative, an effort to designate all nine of its undergraduate cam puses as HSIs. Hurtado said the push stems partially from a desire to embrace the diver sity of surrounding communities – but access to federal grant money can be an important motivating factor as well.

Four UCs have yet to receive the HSI designa tion.

At an October 20 forum on UCLA’s quest to become an HSI by 2025, Cuellar addressed a crowd of students, professors and administra tors.

“How do we define the concept of serving ness?” she asked. “What does it mean to serve students?”

Reaching UCLA’s goal will take more than in creasing its Latino undergraduate population by four percentage points, Cuellar said.

HSIs must create campus cultures that foster a strong sense of belonging among Latino students, she said, while also spending feder al funding in ways that close opportunity gaps among Latino students and their peers.

“We also have seen that there’s been a lot of race evasiveness in some of this funding, as institutions have sought funding for HSIs,” Cuellar said. “They’re not necessarily center ing equity, racially conscious practices.”

Armando Guerrero Jr., a former lecturer in UCLA’s Spanish and Portuguese depart ment, said UCLA falls short when it comes to representation of US-born Latinos in the faculty, which is critical for providing students with mentors who have shared experiences of being first-generation students or speak ing Spanish in the United States. He said the number of such faculty in his department was reduced significantly after the university declined to renew his and another lecturer’s contracts for the 2022-23 school year.

“(The HSI designation) seems to be a topic that is getting ever more loud at the university. We’re increasing visibility, we’re funding things that we didn’t fund before, and all of that is great,” Guerrero Jr. said. “But there seems to be a disconnect between the message that we have around the vision and how we’re act ing at the nitty gritty and the nuanced spaces.”

As of fall 2020, 25% of the UC’s undergradu ate population identified as Latino. But only 5.2% of tenured or tenure-eligible faculty at the UC identified as domestic Latinos, ac cording to a university report.

In an emailed statement, UCLA said it highly valued its lecturers but declined to comment further.

rates.

The seal challenges colleges to assess their concrete impacts on students and sheds light on what thriving HSIs look like in practice, said CEO Deborah Santiago.

“This isn’t just capturing what they’ve done, it’s also capturing where they’re trying to go,” Santiago said. “What we’re assessing is not if they’re perfect, but can we assess intentional ity.”

Dow added that the state of California would do well in providing incentives to HSIs for earning the seal. At the same time, national ef forts to measure HSI success are underway. U.S. Sen. Alex Padilla of California has pro posed a new grant program rewarding HSIs that collaborate with local school districts serving large numbers of Latino students.

“The stark gap in college attendance and completion rates for Latino students in the United States is unacceptable,” Padilla said in a statement. “I introduced the HERE Act to give California HSI’s the resources to be able to provide more equitable access to higher education for Latino students and close that gap.”

dents in applying to the university.

“At the end of the day, students will fight,” Ver dugo said. “(The designation) will create more of an outcry for students to really know what’s going on.”

Luis Soto, a fifth-year urban studies student at UC Irvine, said he initially failed to realize that he attended a HSI because he saw so few La tinos on campus in his first year. He has only received instruction from two Latino profes sors over the past five years.

Yet, even those limited experiences, he said, have encouraged him to pursue a master’s degree and imagine what he can achieve af ter college.

“Before I started looking for Latino professors or Latino community here at UCI, I didn’t really know what to do after graduating,” Soto said.

“But since I met Latino faculty, Latino profes sors and been involved with Latino organiza tions, I’ve made myself a new goal … It makes you strive for more.”

Recruiting more Latino engineers

Some campuses have translated their HSI designations into concrete gains.

When S. K. Ramesh began as dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Sci ence at Cal State Northridge, he saw a need to attract and retain more first-generation, transfer and low-income students from Latino communities. The response was the Attract, Inspire, Mentor and Support Students pro gram, which develops transfer pathways in computer science and engineering between CSUN and local community colleges.

Since the program’s start in 2011, the college’s Latino population has risen from one third of students to more than 50%, Ramesh said. In 2019, Excelencia in Education deemed the program an ‘Example of Excelencia’ – a des ignation that honors evidence-based projects supporting Latino college students.

“We are not excluding anybody,” said Ra mesh, who is no longer dean of the college but serves as a professor of engineering

At Southwestern College in Southern San Diego County, the PUENTE project provides year-long mentoring, counseling and Eng lish instruction specifically highlighting Latino authors and issues to a small cohort of stu dents. PUENTE boasts a 75% transfer rate –three times that of Southwestern College as a whole — said Guadalupe Corona, director of the office of student equity programs and services. It has a waitlist hundreds long.

The college may turn to HSI grants in the fu ture to help expand the program, Corona said. HSI grants “could help scale initiatives that are successful, which may cost a little bit more money,” Corona said. “But, in the end, the re sults are much more impactful.”

The California HSI Alliance supports aspiring Latino professors by pairing doctoral students at the UC with Cal State professors and men tors. Funded by the National Science Foun dation, the partnership is open to all minor ity students, but the goal is to prepare a new generation of educators to teach at HSIs.

“The stark gap in college attendance and completion rates for Latino students in the United States is unacceptable.”

-US SEN. ALEX PADILLA OF CALIFORNIA

Jocelyn Ochoa, a participant and chemistry graduate student at UC Merced, said that when she first began her studies, she was the only Mexican student in her graduate program. In her classroom and lab, she gives advice to other Latino students on research opportunities or navigating classes while struggling with English.

“When it comes to TAing, I also like to make students feel comfortable with me, like, ‘I was in your shoes a few years ago,’ ” Ochoa said. “If I can do it, you can do it.”

Defining success

Excelencia in Education awards a Seal of Excelencia to outstanding HSIs across the nation that undergo a robust certification process assessing how they have used data to develop initiatives in areas such as Latino enrollment, financial support and graduation

Grants can provide much-needed resources for HSIs, which annually receive on average 68 cents for every federal dollar allocated to all other colleges and universities. Yet in order to win them and use them effectively, HSIs need leaders who are focused on supporting Latino students, experts said.

The grants are also competitive, requiring HSIs to beat each other out for limited fund ing. In California, as more four-year universities have succeeded in receiving HSI grants, San tiago said, some worry that the state’s com munity colleges — where three out of every four students are Latino — will be left out.

When HSIs flourish, advocates for them ar gue, the entire state benefits.

HSIs are ranked among the top colleges for economic mobility, and can play a key role in addressing the state’s projected shortage of over one million bachelor’s degrees in the next eight years, said Enrique Murillo Jr., a pro fessor at CSU San Bernardino.

“There is a strong case for increased invest ment in Hispanic Serving Institutions, so that we can meet the needs of the students where they are, and we can make good on the value of higher education for our individuals, fami lies and communities,” Murillo said.

Yet for that promise to be realized, HSIs must live up to their name, said Melissa Bardo, the associate director of policy and government relations at Education Trust West.

Truly serving Latino students, she said, “means that you anticipate and meet their needs, you affirm the many cultures and languages they bring to campus. Until Latinx students are thriving on your campus, you may be a HSI, but you’re not a true Hispanic or Latinx serving institution.”

¿ESTÁN REALMENTE SIRVIENDO A QUIENES DICEN LAS INSTITUCIONES DE SERVICIO PARA LOS HISPANOS EN LAS UNIVERSIDADES DE CALIFORNIA?

Ensu último año de secundaria, Ashley Chetla esperaba encontrar una universidad en la que se sintiera apoyada, no solo como estudiante, sino también como latina. Chetla se matriculó en Cal State Los Ángeles, atraída por el estatus de la universidad como institución al servicio de los hispanos (Hispanic Serving Insti tution o HSI).

“Sabía que la mayor parte de Cal State LA era principalmente latina e hispana, y por eso elegí ir allí”, dijo Chetla, ahora estudiante de cuarto año de sociología. “Quería sentir que pertenecía allí”.

Pero el tiempo de Chetla en este HSI no ha esta do a la altura de sus expectativas. Cuando buscó asesoramiento académico, dijo, se le indicó que simplemente siguiera la lista de verificación de cursos para su especialización. Cuando buscó consejería de salud mental, dijo, solo pudo en contrar dos terapeutas latinos en el campus. Y todavía tiene que tomar una clase de un profe sor latino.

Si bien la universidad se enorgullece de su esta tus de HSI, dijo, tiene un largo camino por recor rer para servir a sus estudiantes latinos.

Había 174 Instituciones al Servicio de Hispanos en California a partir del año escolar 2020-21, más que en cualquier otro estado. La desig nación, reconocida por primera vez en la Ley de Educación Superior de 1992, permite a los colegios y universidades solicitar subvenciones federales que apoyen a los estudiantes en áreas que van desde la educación financiera hasta el asesoramiento académico. El estado se basa puramente en números; Las HSI deben inscribir a una población de estudiantes universitarios que sea al menos un 25% hispana y que tenga una alta proporción de estudiantes de bajos in gresos.

Pero algunos investigadores, defensores y es tudiantes dicen que la designación de HSI no es sinónimo de satisfacer específicamente las necesidades de los estudiantes latinos. Debido a que las universidades no están obligadas a usar sus subvenciones en proyectos que beneficien específicamente a los estudiantes latinos, dicen, ha surgido una división entre las universidades que simplemente inscriben a un gran número de latinos y las que intencionalmente sirven a esa población. Algunos están presionando para que la etiqueta HSI adquiera más significado.

“Nosotros en California tenemos uno de los con juntos más grandes de HSI en el país. Me encan taría decir que todo eso es intencional, pero no es así”, dijo Audrey Dow, vicepresidenta sénior de The Campaign for College Opportunity. “Mu chas de las designaciones son realmente una función de los cambios demográficos en Cali fornia”.

Las filas de las Instituciones al Servicio de los Hispanos en California están creciendo: actu almente, las HSI inscriben a casi el 90% de la población universitaria latina del estado y han recibido más de $637 millones en subvencio nes federales desde 1995, según Excelencia in Education, una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a apoyar a los latinos estudiantes de educación superior. Sin embargo, persisten las desigualdades en el logro educativo, con solo el 13% de los adultos latinos en California con una licenciatura en comparación con el promedio estatal del 34%.

A diferencia de los Colegios y Universidades Históricamente de Afroamericanos (Historically Black Colleges and Universities, HBCU), la may oría de las HSI comenzaron como instituciones

predominantemente blancas que solo reci entemente vieron un cambio en su demografía, dijo Sylvia Hurtado, profesora de educación en UCLA.

Como resultado, agregó Dow, las HSI a veces carecen de la intencionalidad de las HBCU al centrar las identidades y culturas de los estudi antes en los programas del campus, los planes de estudios y las prácticas de contratación de profesores.

“Ningún estudiante de una HBCU no sabe que está en una HBCU. Está al frente y al centro de lo que hacen y de quiénes son”, dijo Dow. “No pasa eso en una HSI; no hemos cambiado la cultura, la política, la práctica, la identidad para ser un HSI”.

En un análisis a nivel nacional de las subvencio nes del Departamento de Educación otorgadas a HSI entre 2009 y 2016, el 85% de las propu estas de subvenciones no incluyeron programas diseñados específicamente para las necesi dades de los estudiantes latinos.

Lisa Rodríguez, directora interina de desarrollo profesional y organizacional en Mt. San Antonio College en Walnut, dijo que algunas subvencio nes de HSI simplemente tienen como objetivo fortalecer las instituciones, creando confusión sobre a qué poblaciones deberían servir los fon dos.

Al administrar tales subvenciones en el pasa do, dijo, se le indicó que gastara los fondos de manera que apoyara a todos los estudiantes de bajos ingresos y con poca representación en el campus. Pero recientemente, dijo, el campus ha actuado con mayor intencionalidad, usando subvenciones para ayudar a los estudiantes a desarrollar y llevar a cabo conferencias de de sarrollo profesional y liderazgo latino y enseñar a los profesores cómo satisfacer las necesidades de los estudiantes latinos en el salón de clases.

“Ha habido un malentendido durante años, pen sando que no se suponía que debíamos en focarnos solo en estudiantes latinos, sino que debíamos enfocarnos en estudiantes latinos de primera generación y de bajos ingresos”, dijo Ro dríguez.

Resultados mixtos

Marcela Cuellar, profesora asociada de edu cación en UC Davis que ha estudiado las HSI, dijo que la investigación muestra históricamente

que los estudiantes latinos en las HSI se gradúan a tasas similares a las de sus pares en las que no son HSI cuando se toman en cuenta factores ex ternos como los recursos de las universidades y los niveles de los estudiantes. de prepara ción para la escuela secundaria. Los hallazgos, aunque no sorprenden, indican que las HSI aún necesitan más recursos y financiamiento, dijo.

En la Universidad Estatal de California, 21 de 23 campus son HSI. Pero la designación general izada no ha sido suficiente para cerrar las bre chas de equidad. Para los estudiantes latinos que ingresaron al sistema universitario como estudiantes de primer año en 2018, su tasa de graduación de cuatro años fue del 29%. En com paración, la tasa general de graduación de su cohorte fue del 35 % y la tasa de sus homólogos blancos fue del 47%.

Los estudiantes latinos representan casi el 76% de la población estudiantil de pre-grado en Cal State LA, que ha cumplido con ambos criterios de elegibilidad de HSI desde 2001. Pero la re sponsabilidad a menudo recae en los profesores para buscar financiamiento externo y desarrollar iniciativas que acojan a los estudiantes latinos en el aula, dijo Valerie Talavera-Bustillos, profesora de Chicana/o y Latina/o Studies y coordinadora de equidad de la Facultad de Estudios Étnicos.

“La designación de HSI creará más protestas para que los estudiantes sepan realmente lo que está pasando”.

-ALICIA VERDUGO, ESTUDIANTE DE SEGUN DO AÑO, UCLA

Ella dijo que la universidad también había apoy ado algunas iniciativas que podrían plantear barreras para el éxito de los estudiantes latinos, como “15 to Finish” de la CSU, que anima a los estudiantes a tomar cinco clases cada semes tre para graduarse más rápido. Si bien la política suena efectiva en teoría, puede hacer que las personas fracasen al ignorar los desafíos que enfrentan los estudiantes latinos como cuida dores, académicos de primera generación o trabajadores de medio tiempo, dijo TalaveraBustillos.

“Creo que la administración tiene los ideales allí, solo me pregunto si saben cómo abordar estos problemas y si entienden la necesidad de abor dar estos problemas”, dijo Talavera-Bustillos.

Chetla dijo que se inscribió en Cal State LA con

la esperanza de tomar cursos culturalmente rel evantes y reunirse con consejeros que pudieran empatizar con sus desafíos como estudiante de primera generación. Sin embargo, se sintió decepcionada al descubrir que sus cursos de introducción a la escritura se centraban en la his toria y la cultura estadounidenses, pero excluían las experiencias de los latinos en el país.

“Su sitio web y todo eso es todo para promover la diversidad”, dijo Chetla. “Tienen esa diversidad, pero no saben cómo dirigirse a cada grupo”.

En un comunicado enviado por correo elec trónico, Cal State LA enfatizó su compromiso con los estudiantes latinos, señalando una sub vención HSI de $3 millones otorgada en 2020 para educar a los profesores sobre prácticas de enseñanza culturalmente relevantes y de sarrollar servicios de apoyo académico para aumentar las tasas de graduación y retención. La universidad dijo que también ofrece alcance a estudiantes latinos de preescolar, primaria y secundaria a través de programas comunitarios como Jumpstart y Go East LA, aunque estas iniciativas no están dirigidas específicamente a personas latinas. La universidad cuenta actual mente con seis terapeutas en el personal que se identifican como latinos, dijo un portavoz.

La tasa de graduación de cuatro años de Cal State LA para estudiantes latinos es del 24%, fr ente al 8% de 2018.

René Vellanoweth, decano de la Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Sociales, dijo que ha visto mejoras desde su época como estudiante de Cal State LA. Señaló otra subvención de HSI que la universidad recibió recientemente para brin dar más oportunidades de trabajo de campo a los estudiantes de STEM. Si bien el programa y sus esfuerzos de divulgación servirán a todos los estudiantes de pre-grado, Vellanoweth cree que naturalmente se dirigirá a la gran población latina de la universidad. Agregó que, para los científicos latinos de primera generación como él, las oportunidades de trabajo de campo pu eden cambiar su carrera, pero también son cos tosas y difíciles de obtener.

“Creemos que cuando una persona puede ex perimentar algo como estar en el campo y estar inmerso en la naturaleza… fuera de los límites de la universidad, esto impacta a las personas que quieren cambiar la comunidad”, dijo Vellanoweth.

La búsqueda para convertirse en un HSI

En la Universidad de California, el cambio tam bién está en marcha. En 2018, la UC lanzó su Iniciativa de Instituciones al Servicio de los His panos, un esfuerzo por designar sus nueve campus universitarios como HSI. Hurtado dijo que el impulso se debe en parte al deseo de acoger la diversidad de las comunidades circun dantes, pero el acceso al dinero de las subven ciones federales también puede ser un factor de motivación importante.

Cuatro UC aún no han recibido la designación HSI.

En un foro del 20 de octubre sobre la búsqueda de UCLA para convertirse en HSI para 2025, Cuéllar se dirigió a una multitud de estudiantes, profesores y administradores.

“¿Cómo definimos el concepto de servicio?” ella preguntó. “¿Qué significa servir a los estudi antes?”.

Alcanzar la meta de UCLA requerirá más que aumentar su población universitaria latina en cu atro puntos porcentuales, dijo Cuéllar.

Las HSI deben crear culturas en los campus que

fomenten un fuerte sentido de pertenencia en tre los estudiantes latinos, dijo, al mismo tiempo que gastan fondos federales de manera que cierren las brechas de oportunidades entre los estudiantes latinos y sus compañeros.

“También hemos visto que ha habido mucha evasión racial en algunos de estos fondos, ya que las instituciones han buscado fondos para HSI”, dijo Cuéllar. “No necesariamente están centrando la equidad, las prácticas racialmente conscientes”.

Armando Guerrero Jr., exprofesor del departa mento de español y portugués de la UCLA, dijo que la UCLA se queda corta en lo que respecta a la representación de latinos nacidos en los EE.UU., lo cual es crítico para proveer a los es tudiantes con mentores que han compartido experiencias de ser la primera generación de estudiantes o que hablan español en los Esta dos Unidos. Dijo que la cantidad de profesores de este tipo en su departamento se redujo sig nificativamente después de que la universidad se negara a renovar sus contratos y los de otro profesor para el año escolar 2022-23.

“(La designación HSI) parece ser un tema que cada vez se escucha más en la universidad. Es tamos aumentando la visibilidad, estamos finan ciando cosas que antes no financiamos, y todo eso es fantástico”, dijo Guerrero Jr. “Pero parece haber una desconexión entre el mensaje que tenemos en torno a la visión y la forma en que actuamos en el meollo de la cuestión y los espa cios matizados”.

A partir del otoño de 2020, el 25% de la po blación universitaria de la UC se identificó como latina. Pero solo el 5.2% de los profesores titu lares o elegibles para la titularidad en la UC se identificaron como latinos nacionales, según un informe de la universidad.

En un comunicado enviado por correo electróni co, UCLA dijo que valoraba mucho a sus profe sores, pero se negó a hacer más comentarios.

La estudiante de segundo año de educación y transformación social y sociología, Alicia Verdu go, quien asistió al foro de octubre, calificó la ini ciativa HSI de UCLA como “performativa”. Pero dijo que la designación puede empoderar a los estudiantes para responsabilizar a UCLA por crear un cambio tangible, como usar el dinero de la subvención para apoyar a los estudiantes latinos de secundaria de bajos ingresos para que soliciten ingreso a la universidad.

“Al final del día, los estudiantes lucharán”, dijo Verdugo. “(La designación) creará más protestas para que los estudiantes sepan realmente lo que está pasando”.

Luis Soto, estudiante de estudios urbanos de quinto año en UC Irvine, dijo que inicialmente no se dio cuenta de que asistía a una HSI porque vio muy pocos latinos en el campus en su primer año. Solo ha recibido instrucción de dos profe sores latinos en los últimos cinco años.

Sin embargo, incluso esas experiencias limita das, dijo, lo han animado a obtener una maestría e imaginar lo que puede lograr después de la universidad.

“Antes de comenzar a buscar profesores lati nos o comunidad latina aquí en UCI, realmente no sabía qué hacer después de graduarme”, dijo Soto. “Pero desde que conocí a profesores latinos, a profesores latinos y me involucré con organizaciones latinas, me he fijado una nueva meta… Te hace luchar por más”.

Contratando más ingenieros latinos

Algunos campus han traducido sus designacio nes de HSI en ganancias concretas.

Cuando S.K. Ramesh comenzó como decano de la Facultad de Ingeniería y Ciencias de la

ESPAÑOL

Computación en Cal State Northridge, vio la necesidad de atraer y retener a más estudiantes de primera generación, transferidos y de bajos ingresos de las comunidades latinas. La respu esta fue el programa ‘Attract, Inspire, Mentor and Support Students’, que desarrolla vías de trans ferencia en ciencias informáticas e ingeniería entre CSUN y los colegios comunitarios locales.

Desde el inicio del programa en 2011, la po blación latina de la universidad ha aumentado de un tercio de los estudiantes a más del 50%, dijo Ramesh. En 2019, Excelencia en Educación con sideró al programa un ‘Ejemplo de Excelencia’, una designación que honra los proyectos basa dos en evidencia que apoyan a los estudiantes universitarios latinos.

“No estamos excluyendo a nadie”, dijo Ramesh, quien ya no es decano de la universidad pero se desempeña como profesor de ingeniería allí.

“Pero al mismo tiempo, tenemos que ser inten cionales para atender las necesidades de estos estudiantes, porque estos estudiantes provi enen de comunidades desatendidas”.

En Southwestern College en el sur del condado de San Diego, el proyecto PUENTE brinda tu toría, asesoramiento e instrucción de inglés du rante un año, destacando específicamente los autores latinos y los problemas a una pequeña cohorte de estudiantes. PUENTE cuenta con una tasa de transferencia del 75%, tres veces la de Southwestern College en su conjunto, dijo Guadalupe Corona, directora de la oficina de programas y servicios de equidad estudiantil. Tiene una lista de espera de cientos.

La universidad puede recurrir a las subvencio nes de HSI en el futuro para ayudar a expandir el programa, dijo Corona. Las subvenciones de HSI “podrían ayudar a escalar iniciativas que ten gan éxito, lo que puede costar un poco más de

dinero”, dijo Corona. “Pero, al final, los resultados son mucho más impactantes”.

California HSI Alliance apoya a los aspirantes a profesores latinos emparejando a estudiantes de doctorado en la UC con profesores y men tores de Cal State. Financiada por la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias, la asociación está abierta a todos los estudiantes de minorías, pero el ob jetivo es preparar una nueva generación de edu cadores para enseñar en HSI.

“La marcada brecha en la asistencia a la universidad y las tasas de finalización de los estudiantes latinos en los Estados Unidos es inaceptable”.

Jocelyn Ochoa, participante y estudiante de posgrado de química en UC Merced, dijo que cuando comenzó sus estudios, era la única es tudiante mexicana en su programa de posgrado. En su salón de clases y laboratorio, da consejos a otros estudiantes latinos sobre oportunidades de investigación o cómo navegar las clases mientras lucha con el inglés.

“Cuando se trata de TAing, también me gusta hacer que los estudiantes se sientan cómodos conmigo, como, ‘Estuve en sus zapatos hace unos años’”, dijo Ochoa. “Si yo puedo hacerlo, tú puedes hacerlo”. Definición de éxito

Excelencia en Educación otorga un Sello de Ex celencia a HSI sobresalientes en todo el país que se someten a un sólido proceso de certificación que evalúa cómo han utilizado los datos para desarrollar iniciativas en áreas como la inscrip ción de latinos, el apoyo financiero y las tasas de graduación.

El sello desafía a las universidades a evaluar sus impactos concretos en los estudiantes y ar roja luz sobre cómo se ven en la práctica las HSI prósperas, dijo la directora ejecutiva Deborah Santiago.

“Esto no es solo capturar lo que han hecho, tam bién es capturar hacia dónde intentan llegar”, dijo Santiago. “Lo que estamos evaluando no es si son perfectos, sino si podemos evaluar la in tencionalidad”.

Dow agregó que el estado de California haría bien en brindar incentivos a las HSI por obtener el sello. Al mismo tiempo, se están realizando es fuerzos nacionales para medir el éxito de HSI. El senador estadounidense Alex Padilla de Califor nia ha propuesto un nuevo programa de subven ciones que recompensa a las HSI que colaboran con los distritos escolares locales que atienden a un gran número de estudiantes latinos.

“La marcada brecha en la asistencia a la universi dad y las tasas de finalización de los estudiantes latinos en los Estados Unidos es inaceptable”, dijo Padilla en un comunicado. “Presenté la Ley HERE para brindar a las HSI de California los re cursos para poder brindar un acceso más equi tativo a la educación superior para estudiantes latinos y cerrar esa brecha”.

Las subvenciones pueden proporcionar recur sos muy necesarios para las HSI, que reciben anualmente un promedio de 68 centavos por cada dólar federal asignado a todos los demás colegios y universidades. Sin embargo, para ganarlos y usarlos de manera efectiva, las HSI necesitan líderes que se centren en apoyar a los estudiantes latinos, dijeron los expertos.

Las subvenciones también son competitivas y requieren que las HSI se superen entre sí por una financiación limitada. En California, a medida que más universidades de cuatro años han lo grado recibir subvenciones de HSI, dijo Santiago, a algunos les preocupa que los colegios comu nitarios del estado, donde tres de cada cuatro estudiantes son latinos, queden fuera.

Cuando las HSI florecen, argumentan sus defen sores, todo el estado se beneficia.

Las HSI están clasificadas entre las mejores uni versidades para la movilidad económica y pu eden desempeñar un papel clave para abordar la escasez proyectada del estado de más de un millón de títulos de licenciatura en los próximos ocho años, dijo Enrique Murillo Jr., profesor de CSU San Bernardino.

“Existen argumentos sólidos para aumentar la inversión en instituciones que atienden a his panos, de modo que podamos satisfacer las necesidades de los estudiantes donde se en cuentren y podamos aprovechar el valor de la educación superior para nuestros individuos, familias y comunidades”, dijo Murillo.

Sin embargo, para que esa promesa se haga realidad, las HSI deben estar a la altura de su nombre, dijo Melissa Bardo, directora asociada de políticas y relaciones gubernamentales de Education Trust West.

Servir verdaderamente a los estudiantes lati nos, dijo, “significa que anticipas y satisfaces sus necesidades, afirmas las muchas culturas e idi omas que traen al campus. Hasta que los estu diantes latinos prosperen en su campus, usted puede ser un HSI, pero no es una verdadera institución al servicio de los hispanos o latinos”.

8 WAYS STUDENTS CAN BUILD A CULTURAL IDENTITY

8 MANERAS EN QUE LOS ESTUDIANTES PUEDEN CONSTRUIR UNA IDENTIDAD CULTURAL

Family Features

spent in the classroom are often centered around language, reading, math, science and other traditional cur riculum, but there’s another key subject stu dents may learn about without even realizing it: themselves. While coming to understand one’s family background and culture may seem like a daunting task for school-aged children, it can actually be a simple (and fun) opportunity for discovery.

Days

LaRayne Woster is the Native American Stud ies Lead and Cultural Specialist at St. Joseph’s Indian School, a small nonprofit Native Ameri can school making a difference in preserving the culture and heritage of its students. As a cultural specialist, Woster developed a unique project with her students, helping them discov er who they are and where they came from.

By developing fun and informative activities like learning their creation story; learning traditional arts, crafts and dances; making a traditional meal; and understanding religious traditions, she challenged her students to connect with their ancestry.

While this activity focused on Native American children, Woster recommends parents and teachers use this exercise and share ideas to help any child connect with his or her own heritage, from Hispanic and African cultures to French, Irish and beyond. Schools like St. Joseph’s provide an environment ideal for students to make those connections as the school is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and families with a mission to educate mind, body, heart and spirit.

Consider these ways you can promote cultural connections.

1. Bond with Someone Who Knows the Cul ture. One of the easiest ways students can introduce themselves to their own history is by talking with relatives, friends or neighbors who can share wisdom and knowledge. These mentors can provide direction and educational opportunities while taking part in games, danc es, storytelling and other cultural traditions.

2. Learn a Traditional Game and Share It. Throughout history, people of all cultures played games and took part in activities to spark creative freedom and break free from

everyday stressors. Learning and participat ing in one of these games offers children a fun, hands-on way to connect with their heritage.

3. Cook Traditional Foods. While family re unions and holidays are often filled with your loved ones’ favorite meals, the foods of your ancestors may differ dramatically from today’s classics. Connecting with the past can be as easy as researching recipes, heading to the store for a few ingredients and spending cher ished moments together in the kitchen.

4. Do a Traditional Dance. Folk dances from around the world have been passed down from generation to generation. Native Ameri can grass dances, Lakota dances and rain dances are popular examples that offer lively, entertaining ways to connect with the past.

5. Study Oral Traditions and Learn to Tell the Stories. Whether your culture dates back hundreds of years or thousands, there are tales to be told. Learn some of your ances tors’ most influential stories from creation and ancient history to modern folktales and retell them to friends and family.

6. Read the Works of Early Authors. Study ing your culture’s most well-known authors, fic tion or non-fiction, can give you a glimpse into the past. Even fictional works provide a gate way to the thinking, traditions, beliefs and more of those who came before you.

7. Learn the Traditional Language. For stu dents whose ancestors spoke a different lan guage or communicated in a different man ner than people today, studying that language provides a direct connection to the culture. In fact, learning the language can be an exciting experience to communicate with an elder in your community who speaks fluently.

8. Come to Know and Respect Your Family. While history and its traditions may seem long, long ago, your closest possible connections to that past are the loved ones you see every day. Bonding over your newfound knowledge of your shared heritage is a profound opportunity to grow closer, connect with your background and celebrate those who came before you.

días que pasan en el aula a menudo se centran en lenguaje, lectura, matemáticas, ciencias y otros planes de estudio tradicio nales, pero hay otra materia clave que los estudi antes pueden aprender sin siquiera darse cuenta: ellos mismos. Si bien llegar a comprender los an tecedentes y la cultura de la familia puede parec er una tarea abrumadora para los niños en edad escolar, en realidad puede ser una oportunidad simple (y divertida) para el descubrimiento.

Los

LaRayne Woster es la líder de estudios de nativos americanos y especialista cultural en St. Joseph's Indian School, una pequeña escuela de nativos americanos sin fines de lucro que marca la dife rencia en la preservación de la cultura y el pat rimonio de sus estudiantes. Como especialista cultural, Woster desarrolló un proyecto único con sus alumnos, ayudándolos a descubrir quiénes son y de dónde vienen.

Mediante el desarrollo de actividades divertidas e informativas como aprender la historia de su creación; aprender artes, artesanías y danzas tradicionales; hacer una comida tradicional; y comprender las tradiciones religiosas, desafió a sus alumnos a conectarse con su ascendencia.

Si bien esta actividad se centró en los niños na tivos americanos, Woster recomienda que los padres y maestros usen este ejercicio y com partan ideas para ayudar a cualquier niño a co nectarse con su propia herencia, desde las cul turas hispanas y africanas hasta la francesa, la irlandesa y más. Las escuelas como St. Joseph's brindan un entorno ideal para que los estudiantes establezcan esas conexiones, ya que la escuela se dedica a mejorar la calidad de vida de los niños y las familias con la misión de educar la mente, el cuerpo, el corazón y el espíritu.

Considere estas formas en que puede promover las conexiones culturales.

1. Júntate con alguien que conozca la cultura. Una de las maneras más fáciles en que los estu diantes pueden introducirse en su propia historia es hablar con familiares, amigos o vecinos que puedan compartir su sabiduría y conocimiento. Estos mentores pueden brindar orientación y oportunidades educativas mientras participan en juegos, bailes, narraciones y otras tradiciones culturales.

2. Aprende un juego tradicional y compártelo. A lo largo de la historia, personas de todas las cul turas jugaron y participaron en actividades para despertar la libertad creativa y liberarse del estrés

cotidiano. Aprender y participar en uno de estos juegos ofrece a los niños una forma práctica y di vertida de conectarse con su herencia.

3. Cocina comidas tradicionales. Si bien las reuniones familiares y las festividades a menudo se llenan con las comidas favoritas de sus seres queridos, las comidas de sus antepasados pu eden diferir drásticamente de los clásicos de hoy. Conectarse con el pasado puede ser tan fácil como buscar recetas, ir a la tienda a buscar al gunos ingredientes y pasar momentos preciados juntos en la cocina.

4. Haz un baile tradicional. Las danzas folclóri cas de todo el mundo se han transmitido de gen eración en generación. Los bailes de hierba de los nativos americanos, los bailes Lakota y los bailes de lluvia son ejemplos populares que ofrecen for mas animadas y entretenidas de conectarse con el pasado.

5. Estudia las tradiciones orales y aprende a contar historias. No importa si tu cultura se re monte a cientos o miles de años, hay historias que contar. Aprende algunas de las historias más in fluyentes de tus antepasados, desde la creación y la historia antigua hasta los cuentos populares modernos, y cuéntaselas a tus amigos y famili ares.

6. Lee las obras de los primeros autores. Es tudiar a los autores más conocidos de tu cultura, ficción o no ficción, puede darte una idea del pasado. Incluso las obras de ficción brindan una puerta de entrada al pensamiento, las tradiciones, las creencias y más de quienes te precedieron.

7. Aprende el idioma tradicional. Para los estu diantes cuyos antepasados hablaban un idioma diferente o se comunicaban de una manera dife rente a la de la gente actual, estudiar ese idioma proporciona una conexión directa con la cultura. De hecho, aprender el idioma puede ser una ex periencia emocionante para comunicarse con un anciano en su comunidad que habla con fluidez.

8. Llega a conocer y respetar a tu familia. Si bien la historia y sus tradiciones pueden parecer muy, muy lejanas, tus conexiones posibles más cercanas a ese pasado son los seres queridos que ves todos los días. Vincularte con tu nuevo conocimiento de tu herencia compartida es una gran oportunidad para acercarte, conectarte con tus antecedentes y celebrar a quienes te precedi eron.

EL PLAN DE CONSERVACIÓN COSTERA PROPUESTO ABORDARÍA LA RESILIENCIA CLIMÁTICA EN CA

WELCOMING NEW MANAGING DIRECTOR OF TEATRO VISIÓN, IVETTE DELTORO

Thestate Coastal Conser vancy will vote next week on a strategic plan

to guide how hundreds of mil lions of taxpayer dollars get spent over the next five years. The future of California's 1,100 coastline is at stake.

Liliana Griego, senior coastal program manager with Audu bon California, said funds should go to projects that play to the strengths of indigenous people's knowledge and con nection to the land.

"We're emphasizing equity, specifically to ensure that tribes are receiving long-term funding for co-management of various coastal habitats, with the end goal of returning ancestral lands to tribes," Griego said.

California Audubon, The Pew Charitable Trusts and Coastal Policy Solutions submitted pub

lic comments on the draft plan - asking that accessibility for under-served communities be prioritized - including programs to improve public transit oppor tunities and provide multilingual signage.

Griego said the Conservancy also should fund programs that combat the effects of climate change on the coast.

"Sea-level rise is a major threat," she said, "and so we really want to see land get acquired more inland so that as the sea levels are rising, wetlands are able to have room to migrate inland."

The groups are also promot ing so-called "blue carbon" programs to restore coastal habitats such as wetlands, tidal marsh and eelgrass beds with native plants that sequester carbon as they grow, provide a buffer for sea level rise, and re build habitat for birds migrating on the Pacific Flyway.

LaConservación Costera del estado votará la próxima se mana sobre un plan estraté gico para guiar cómo se gastarán cientos de millones de dólares provenientes de los contribuyen tes en los próximos cinco años. El futuro de la costa 1100 de Califor nia está en juego.

Liliana Griego, gerente sénior del programa costero de Audubon California, dijo que los fondos deben destinarse a proyectos que aprovechen las fortalezas del conocimiento y la conexión de los pueblos indígenas con la tierra.

"Estamos enfatizando la equidad, específicamente para garantizar que las tribus reciban fondos a largo plazo para la gestión con junta de varios hábitats costeros, con el objetivo final de devolver las tierras ancestrales a las tribus", dijo Griego.

California Audubon, The Pew Charitable Trusts y Coastal Policy Solutions presentaron comentari os públicos sobre el borrador del

plan, solicitando que se priorice la accesibilidad para las comu nidades desatendidas, incluidos los programas para mejorar las oportunidades de transporte pú blico y proporcionar señalización multilingüe.

Griego dijo que The Conservancy también debería financiar pro gramas que combatan los efectos del cambio climático en la costa.

"El aumento del nivel del mar es una gran amenaza", dijo, "y por eso realmente queremos ver que la tierra se adquiera más hacia el interior para que, a medida que aumenta el nivel del mar, los hu medales puedan tener espacio para migrar hacia el interior".

Los grupos también están pro moviendo los llamados pro gramas de "carbono azul" para restaurar hábitats costeros como humedales, pantanos de marea y lechos de hierba marina con plantas nativas que secuestran carbono a medida que crecen, proporcionan un amortiguador para el aumento del nivel del mar y reconstruyen el hábitat para las aves que migran en la Ruta Migra toria del Pacífico.

Family Features For

home chefs looking to take their cooking skills to the next level, it all starts with a little inspiration and a few new skills. Turn family meals into extravagant adventures, take backyard barbecues to new heights and impress friends and neighbors with pitmaster-worthy recipes.

In fact, it can be as easy as turning on the TV. From beef ribs and barbacoa to curried brisket rice and pho rub beef belly spring rolls, viewers are in for a treat by tuning into season 3 of “BBQuest: Beyond the Pit,” a video series that dives into the long-held traditions, new flavors and everyday inspiration that make Texas barbecue legendary.

The show follows four themes that capture the es sence of Texas barbecue: legacy and tradition; cre ativity and innovation; Texas trailblazers; and family and community.

You can bring barbecue flavors home and cook like a pitmaster with dishes recreated from the series and developed by “Hardcore Carnivore” cookbook author Jess Pryles, including Smoked Chuck Beef Ribs, Grilled Jalapeno Cheddar Meatballs and Szechuan Skirt Steak with Crispy Rice.

“Since launching BBQuest four years ago, it’s truly remarkable to see how much has changed and yet stayed the same when it comes to Texas barbe cue, and that’s exactly what you see in season 3,” said Rachel Chou, Texas Beef Council’s director of consumer marketing. “There has been so much ex citing innovation around cooking methods and in ternational flavors while there’s still a huge dedica tion to long-held recipes and smoking techniques.”

1 costillas cortas de lomo de res en trozos (alred edor de 4 libras)

2 cucharadas de sal kosher

2 cucharadas de pimienta negra gruesa

1/4 de taza de vinagre de sidra 1 taza de agua

Precaliente el ahumador o la parrilla de pellet a 275 F. Seque las costillas con una toalla de papel; elimine la hume dad en la superficie.

Agregue sal y pimienta. Frote bien las costillas de res por todos lados y en sus puntas con el condimento, cubriéndo las generosamente.

Coloque las costillas en el ahumador y cierre la tapa. Co cine 5-6 horas.

En una botella con atomizador, combine el vinagre de sidra y el agua. Rocíe ligeramente las costillas cada 30 minutos durante las primeras 4 horas de cocción.

Tiempo de cocción: 1 hora y 15 minutos

Porciones: 15

1/2 taza de chips de tortilla, triturados

Filete de falda Szechuán con arroz crujiente

Receta cortesía de Jess Pryles en nombre de Beef Loving Texans

Tiempo total: 35 minutos

Porciones: 2

2 cucharaditas de granos de pimienta de Szechuán

1 cucharadita de cinco especias en polvo

N/A semillas de sésamo (opcional)

N/A cebolletas, en rodajas finas (opcional)

N/A pepino, en rodajas (opcional)

Baje el fuego a medio-alto y luego agregue el aceite res tante y la leche o la crema. Agregue el arroz, presionando suavemente con una cuchara grande para formar un disco grande y plano que cubra toda la base de la cacerola. Sa zone con sal de Szechuán, si lo desea, luego baje el fuego a medio y cocine durante 10 minutos hasta que los granos comiencen a dorarse y se vuelvan crujientes por debajo.

Rebane el filete de falda a través del grano.

Para servir, coloque el arroz en dos tazones. Agregue ca pas con filete de falda en rodajas. Espolvoree con semillas de sésamo y cebolletas picadas, luego ponga pepino y ci lantro encima, si así lo desea.

You should consult your attorney if you want the community property presumption to be written into the recorded title to the property.

De acuerdo a la ley de California, las propie dades adquiridas por las partes durante su matri monio o pareja de hecho en forma conjunta se consideran propiedad comunitaria para los fines de la división de bienes que ocurre cuando se produce una disolución o separación legal del matrimonio o pareja de hecho. Si cu alquiera de las partes de este caso llega a fallecer antes de que se divida la propiedad comunitaria de tenencia conjunta, el destino de la misma quedará determinado por las cláusulas de la escritura correspondi ente que describen su tenencia (por ej. tenencia conjunta, tenencia en común o propiedad comunitaria) y no por la presunción de propie dad comunitaria. Si quiere que la presunción comunitaria que regis trada en la escritura de la propiedad, debería con sultar con un abogado.

COMMUNITIES MOURN MASS SHOOTING AT LGBTQ CLUB IN COLORADO SPRINGS

Communities across Colorado continue to mourn the deaths of at least five people, after a 22-year-old gunman allegedly opened fire inside an LGBTQ nightclub in Colo rado Springs on Saturday.

More than two dozen people were injured. Colo rado's 4th Judicial District Attorney Michael Allen told reporters he has a strong interest in pros ecuting the case, including as a possible hate crime, because it's important for the community see that the perpetrator is held accountable.

"The current bias-motivated crime statute in the state of Colorado provides some elevation," said Allen, "but will not elevate beyond what will likely be charges in this case which will likely include first-degree murder, extreme-indifference mur der, those types of charges, which are all Class 1 Felony murder charges."

Allen said everyone charged with crimes is pre sumed to be innocent until proved guilty.

In a statement, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis said "My heart breaks for the family and friends of those lost, injured and traumatized in this horrific shooting." He also told Colorado Springs Mayor John Suthers that he would make every state re source available to local law enforcement.

The mass shooting at Club Q occurred on the eve of Transgender Day of Remembrance, which honors the memory of those murdered in acts of anti-transgender violence.

Allen also said that every person regardless of who they are has the right to be secure from fear and physical harm.

"And actions taken to strike fear in specific com munities will not be tolerated in our community," said Allen. "This is particularly true for commu nities that have been maligned, harassed and targeted by persons or groups to intimidate and cause harm to members of those communities."

According to data collected by Human Rights Campaign, before Saturday's shooting at least 32 transgender and gender non-conforming people have been killed in 2022, although actual numbers are likely much higher due to under-reporting.

Victims are overwhelmingly Black, under 35, and killed with a firearm. More than 16% of transgen der students reported being physically assault ed, while one in three has experienced physical harassment.

COMUNIDADES LAMENTAN TIROTEO MASIVO EN CLUB LGBTQ EN COLORADO SPRINGS

Lascomunidades de todo Colorado con tinúan lamentando la muerte de al menos cinco personas, luego de que un hombre armado de 22 años supuestamente abriera fuego dentro de un club nocturno LGBTQ en Colorado Springs el sábado.

Más de dos docenas de personas resultaron heridas. El fiscal del cuarto distrito judicial de Colorado, Michael Allen, dijo a los periodistas que tiene un gran interés en procesar el caso, incluso como un posible delito de odio, porque es importante que la comunidad vea que el perpetrador rinda cuentas.

"La ley actual sobre delitos motivados por prejuicios en el estado de Colorado propor ciona cierta elevación", dijo Allen, "pero no se elevará más allá de lo que probablemente serán cargos en este caso, que probablemente incluirán asesinato en primer grado, asesinato por indiferencia extrema, esos tipos de cargos, que son todos cargos de homicidio grave de Clase 1".

Allen dijo que se presume que todas las per sonas acusadas de delitos son inocentes hasta que se pruebe su culpabilidad.

En un comunicado, el gobernador de Colorado, Jared Polis, dijo: "Mi corazón se rompe por la familia y los amigos de las personas perdidas, heridas y traumatizadas en este horrible tiro teo". También le dijo al alcalde de Colorado

El tiroteo masivo en el Club Q ocurrió en vísperas del Día de la Memoria Transgénero, que honra la memoria de los asesinados en actos de violencia contra las personas trans género.

Allen también dijo que cada persona, indepen dientemente de quién sea, tiene derecho a es tar segura del miedo y el daño físico.

"Y las acciones tomadas para infundir miedo en comunidades específicas no serán tolera das en nuestra comunidad", dijo Allen. "Esto es particularmente cierto para las comunidades que han sido calumniadas, acosadas y ataca das por personas o grupos para intimidar y causar daño a los miembros de esas comuni dades".

Según los datos recopilados por Human Rights Campaign, antes del tiroteo del sábado, al me nos 32 personas transgénero y no conformes con el género habían sido asesinadas en 2022, aunque es probable que las cifras reales sean mucho más altas debido a la falta de informes.

Las víctimas son abrumadoramente negras, menores de 35 años y asesinadas con un arma de fuego. Más del 16 % de los estudiantes transgénero informaron haber sido agredidos físicamente, mientras que uno de cada tres ha sufrido acoso físico.
