The 23 campuses and the Chancellor's Office of the California State University are financed primarily through funding provided by the taxpayers of California. The systemwide cost of education is defined as total support expenditures (State University Fee revenue and General Fund support appropriations) divisded by the number of full-time equivalent students. The total 2001/02 state General Fund appropriation to the CSU (not including capital outlay funding in the amount of $225,000,000) is $2,607,425,000 and campus budgeted State University Fee Revenue is $509,417,000 for a total of $3,116,842,000. The $3,116,842,000 total cost of education for CSU must provide support for a projected 305,854 full-time equivalent students (FTES). The number of full-time equivalent students is determined by dividing the total academic student load by 15 units per term (the figure used here to define a full-time student's academic load).
The 2001/02 systemwide cost of education per full-time equivalent student is $10,191. Of this amount, the average student fee support per FTE is $1,876. (The State University Fee and campus fees that must be paid to apply to, enroll in, or attend the university are included in the average costs paid by the students. Individual students may pay less or more than $1,876, depending on the campus and whether the student is attending part-time/full-time, or is a resident/non-resident. Also, other campus fees may be charged that are not required of all enrolled students, which include user and penalty/deposit fee types.)

San Francisco State University's annual security report includes statistics for the previous three years concerning reported crimes that occurred on campus, in certain off-campus buildings or property owned or controlled by San Francisco State University, and on public property within, or immediately adjacent to, and accessible from the campus. The report also includes institutional policies concerning campus security, such as policies concerning alcohol and drug use, crime prevention, the reporting of crimes, sexual assault, and other matters. You can obtain a copy of this report by contacting the Department of Public Safety or by accessing the following web site: www.sfsu.edu/~dps.
The campus may furnish, upon request, information about the employment of students who graduate from programs or courses of study preparing students for a particular career field. This information includes data concerning the average starting salary and the percentage of previously enrolled students who obtained employment. The information may include data collected from either graduates of the campus or graduates of all campuses in the California State University.
Legitimate computing for educational uses is encouraged. However, some may be tempted to abuse this privilege but not be aware of the legal aspects of computer crime. If San Francisco State University computers are illegally used, California Penal Code 502 states that the offender may be found guilty of a felony which is punishable by a fine not exceeding $10,000, or by imprisonment for 16, 24, or 36 months, or by both fine and imprisonment. Any student who illegally uses the SFSU computer system may be subject to suspension or expulsion from the university.
Computer security is the responsibility of everyone. All computing users should read the SFSU Computing Services Security Guide which covers policies, procedures, proper uses, and misuses of computing systems. The Computing Services Security Guide is accessible from the World Wide Web at www.sfsu.edu/~helpdesk/docs/rules/security.htm.
The law governing residence determination for tuition purposes at The California State University is California Education Code Sections 68000-68090, 68120-68134, and 89705-89707.5, and in Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, Sections 41900-41912. This material can be viewed on the Internet by accessing the California State University's web site at www.calstate.edu.
The campus undergraduate and graduate admissions offices determine the residence status of all new and returning students for nonresident tuition purposes based on the Application for Admission, Residency Questionnaire, Reclassification Request Form, and, as necessary, other evidence furnished by the student. A student who fails to submit adequate information to establish eligibility for resident classification will be classified as a nonresident.
The following statement of the rules regarding residency determination for nonresident tuition purposes is not a complete discussion of the law, but a summary of the principal rules and their exceptions.
Generally, establishing California residence for tuition purposes requires a combination of physical presence and intent to remain indefinitely. An adult who, at least on full year prior to the residence determination date for the term in which enrollment is contemplated, has been both physically present in the state and has evidence of intent to remain in California indefinitely, may establish California residence for tuition purposes. Evidence demonstrating intent can vary from case to case and may include, but is not limited to, the absence of ties to any other state, California voter registration and voting in California elections, maintaining California registration and driver's license, maintaining active California bank accounts, filing California income tax returns, owning residential property or occupying or renting an apartment where permanent belongings are kept, maintaining active memberships in California professional or social organizations, and maintaining a permanent military address and home of record in California.
Adult noncitizens establish residence in the same manner as citizens, unless precluded by the Immigration and Nationality Act from establishing domicile in the United States. Unmarried minor noncitizens derive their residence in the same manner as unmarried minor citizens except that both parent and minor must have an immigration status consistent with establishing domicile in the United States.
Exceptions to the general residence requirements are contained in California Education Code Sections 68070-68120 and Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations, Sections 41900-41916, and include, but are not limited to, members of the military and their dependents, certain credentialed employees of school districts, and students who have attended high school in California and graduated or attained the equivalent. Whether an exception applies to a particular student cannot be determined before the submission of an application for admission and, as necessary, additional supporting documentation. Because neither campus nor Chancellor's Office staff may give advice on the application of these laws, applicants are strongly urged to review the material for themselves and consult with a legal adviser.
Nonresident students seeking reclassification are required to complete a supplemental questionnaire including questions concerning their financial dependence, which will be considered along with physical presence and intent in determining reclassification.
The residence determination dates are set each term. The are:
|Quarter Term Campuses
|Semester Term Campuses

|September 20
|January 5
|January 5

A campus residence classification appeal must be in writing and submitted to:
The California State University
Office of General Counsel
401 Golden Shore, 4th Floor
Long Beach, California 90802-4210
The appeal must be submitted within 120 calendar days of notification of the final campus decision. The Office of General Counsel can either decide the appeal or send the matter back to the campus for further review.
Students incorrectly classified as residents or incorrectly granted an exception from nonresident tuition are subject to reclassification as nonresidents and payment of nonresident tuition in arrears. If incorrect classification results from false or concealed facts, the student is subject to discipline pursuant to Section 41301 of Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations. Resident students who become nonresidents or who no longer meet the criteria for an exception must immediately notify the Admissions Office. Applications for a change in classification with respect to a previous term are not accepted.
Changes may have been made in the rate of nonresident tuition and in the statutes and regulations governing residence for tuition purposes in California between the time this information is published and the relevant residence determination date. Students are urged to review the statutes and regulations stated above.
Because students and their instructors share a common goal of a semester of learning in the best possible environment, students shall receive in writing, in the first or second meeting of a class:
Should budgetary demands require it, one posted document will suffice. During the semester, students shall be notified in writing of any substantive changes in the faculty statement of course requirements.
Students and employees with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) shall be afforded unrestricted classroom attendance, working conditions, use of university facilities, and participation in co-curricular and extra-curricular activities as long as they are physically and psychologically able to do so.
For more information, individuals are encouraged to contact Student Health Services, members on the AIDS Steering and Coordinating Committees, Human Resources Department, Office of Faculty Affairs, or the Dean of Students office.
The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (P.L. 104-193), also known as the Welfare Reform Act, includes provisions to eliminate eligibility for federal and state public benefits for certain categories of lawful immigrants as well as benefits for all illegal immigrants.
Students who will require a professional or commercial license provided by a local, state, or federal government agency in order to engage in an occupation for which the CSU may be training them must meet the immigration requirements of the new Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act to achieve licensure. Information concerning the regulation is available from the Office of International Programs, ADM 450, (415) 338-1293.
The California State University complies with the requirements of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as amended by the Americans with Disabilities Act and the regulations adopted thereunder. No person shall, on the basis of race, color, national origin, or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be otherwise subjected to discrimination in any program of the California State University. The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of disability in admission or access to, or treatment or employment in, its programs and activities, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, as amended, and the regulations adopted thereunder and the Americans with Disabilities Act prohibit such discrimination. The physical and environmental disability coordinator has been designated to coordinate the efforts of San Francisco State University to comply with these Acts and their implementing regulations. Inquiries concerning compliance may be addressed to the coordinator at San Francisco State University, 1600 Holloway Avenue, ADM 252, San Francisco, CA 94132, or 415-338-6436.
The California State University does not discriminate on the basis of sex in the educational programs or activities it conducts. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, and the administrative regulations adopted thereunder prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex in education programs and activities operated by San Francisco State University. Such programs and activities include admission of students and employment. Inquiries concerning the application of Title IX to programs and activities of San Francisco State University may be referred to the Affirmative Action and Employment Equity Programs Office, the campus office assigned the administrative responsibility of reviewing such matters, or to the regional director of the Office of Civil Rights, Region IX, 50 United Nations Plaza, Room 239, San Francisco, California 94102.
The California State University is committed to providing equal opportunities to male and female CSU students in all campus programs, including intercollegiate athletics.
By CSU Board of Trustees policy, the California State University does not discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation.
The federal Family Education Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 (20 U.S.C. 1232g) and regulations adopted thereunder (34 C.F.R. 99) set out requirements designed to protect students' privacy in their records maintained by the campus. The statute and regulations govern access to student records maintained by the campus, and the release of such records. The law provides that the campus must give students access to records directly related to the student, and must also provide opportunity for a hearing to challenge such records, if the student claims they are inaccurate, on the grounds that they are inaccurate, misleading, or otherwise inappropriate. The right to a hearing under this law does not include any right to challenge the appropriateness of a grade determined by the instructor. The law generally requires the institution to receive a student's written consent before releasing personally identifiable data about the student. The institution has adopted a set of policies and procedures governing implementation of the statutes and the regulations. Copies of these policies and procedures may be obtained at the Dean of Students office. Among the types of information included in the campus statement of policies and procedures are: (1) the types of student records maintained and the information they contain; (2) the official responsible for maintaining each type of record; (3) the location of access lists indicating persons requesting or receiving information from the record; (4) policies for reviewing and expunging records; (5) student access rights to their records; (6) the procedures for challenging the content of student records; (7) the cost to be charged for reproducing copies of records; and (8) the right of the student to file a complaint with the Department of Education. The Department of Education has established an office and review board to investigate complaints and adjudicate violations. The designated office is: Family Policy Compliance Office, U.S. Department of Education, Washington, D.C. 20202-4605.
The campus is authorized under the Act to release "directory information" concerning students. San Francisco State University policy is more restrictive than the Federal and State Act and limits directory information to the student's name, class level (e.g., undergraduate or graduate, full-time or part-time), class level, major field of study, degrees earned, semesters of enrollment, and extra-curricular achievements. The above designated information is subject to release by the campus at any time unless the campus has received prior written objection from the student specifying information the student requests not be released. Written requests to withhold any or all directory information should be directed to the registrar.
A student can request that non-directory information (including address) be released to agencies of the State of California when requested for employment recruitment purposes under the provisions of Assembly Bill 771 (Chacon). Written requests to release non-directory information should be directed to the registrar. Forms are available for this purpose at the One Stop Student Services Center.
The campus is authorized to provide access to student records to campus officials and employees who have legitimate educational interests in such access. These persons have responsibilities in the campus' academic, administrative, or service functions and have reason for using student records associated with their campus or other related academic responsibilities. Student records may also be disclosed to other persons or organizations under certain conditions (e.g., as part of accreditation or program evaluation; in response to a court order or subpoena; in connection with financial aid; and to other institutions to which the student is transferring).
The law governing The California State University provides that fees defined as mandatory, such as a student body association fee and a student body center fee, may be established. A student body association fee must be established upon a favorable vote of two-thirds of the students voting in an election held for this purpose (Education Code, Section 89300). A student body center fee may be established only after a fee referendum is held which approves by a two-thirds favorable vote the establishment of the fee (Education Code, Section 89304). The student body fee was established at San Francisco State University by student referendum in August 1971. The campus president may adjust the student body association fee only after the fee adjustment has been approved by a majority of students voting in a referendum established for that purpose (Education Code, Section 89300). The required fee shall be subject to referendum at any time upon the presentation of a petition to the campus president containing the signatures of 10 percent of the regularly enrolled students at the university. Once bonds are issued, authority to set and adjust student body center fees is governed by provisions of the State University Revenue Bond Act of 1947, including, but not limited to, Education Code, Sections 90012, 90027, and 90068. Student body fees support a variety of cultural and recreational programs, child care centers, and special student support programs.
The process to establish and adjust other campus-based mandatory fees requires consideration by the campus fee advisory committee and a student referendum. The campus president may use alternate consultation mechanisms if he/she determines that a referendum is not the best mechanism to achieve appropriate and meaningful consultation. Results of the referendum and the fee committee review are advisory to the campus president. The president may also request the chancellor to establish the mandatory fee. Authority to adjust fees after consideration by the campus fee advisory committee and the completion of a student referendum is delegated to the president.
The federal Military Selective Service Act (the "Act") requires most males residing in the United States to present themselves for registration with the Selective Service System within thirty days of their eighteenth birthday. Most males between the ages of 18 and 25 must be registered. Males born after December 31, 1959 may be required to submit a statement of compliance with the Act and regulations in order to receive any grant, loan, or work assistance under specified provisions of existing federal law. In California, students subject to the Act who fail to register are also ineligible to receive any need-based student grants funded by the state or a public post-secondary institution.
Selective Service registration forms are available at any U.S. Post Office, and many high schools have a staff member or teacher appointed as a Selective Service registrar. Applicants for financial aid can also request that information provided on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) be used to register them with the Selective Service. Information on the Selective Service System is available and the registration process may be initiated on-line at www.sss.gov.
Applicants are required to include their correct social security numbers (taxpayer identification numbers) in designated places on applications for admission pursuant to the authority contained in Section 41201, Title 5, California Code of Regulations, and Section 6109 of the Internal Revenue Code. The university uses the social security number to identify students and their records for purposes of financial aid eligibility and disbursement and the repayment of financial aid and other debts payable to the institution. Also, the Internal Revenue Service requires the university to file information returns that include the student's social security number and other information such as the amount paid for qualified tuition, related expenses, and interest on educational loans. This information is used by the IRS to help determine whether a student, or a person claiming a student as a dependent, may take a credit or deduction to reduce federal income taxes.
This policy provides a definition of sexual harassment. It specifies pre-disciplinary, pre-grievance procedures for reporting and resolving complaints of sexual harassment and recommends that an education program be initiated. Formal disciplinary and grievance procedures are already defined by existing policies, executive orders, codes, and collective bargaining contracts pertinent to university employees and students. (NOTE: If the physical safety of any university individual is in question, the President will act immediately, within the authority of Title 5, Section 41301, the Education Code Sec. 22505 or the Penal Code Sec. 626.4 to protect the threatened party. Formal proceedings may be initiated immediately by the President in consultation with the Sexual Harassment Officer(s), and the appropriate grievance/disciplinary action officer.)
This Sexual Harassment Policy and Procedures applies to complaints of sexual harassment filed against a faculty member, administrator, staff person, or student. Information regarding where and how to file complaints is available from any Sexual Harassment Adviser or Officer.
No individual shall be subject to reprisal for using this policy, nor shall its use preclude subsequent disciplinary or grievance measures. All units of the campus community are expected to comply with this policy.
Except as needed in processing the complaint, both the Sexual Harassment Advisers and Sexual Harassment Officers are required to maintain confidentiality in dealing with sexual harassment complaints.
Sexual Harassment is one person's distortion of a university relationship by unwelcome conduct which emphasizes another person's sexuality. Sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature are forms of sexual harassment when:
Sexual harassment is unethical and unprofessional conduct, illegal, and against San Francisco State University policy. It may occur in written, spoken, physical, and visual forms. The university will act to eliminate sexual harassment within its jurisdiction.
The university will evaluate each incident of alleged sexual harassment and apply appropriate remedies.
The university can dismiss employees or expel students for sexual harassment.
The university recognizes that any member of the campus community might be called upon to listen to a complaint of alleged sexual harassment. The listener should be objective and attentive, while discouraging use of names. No records should be kept, nor should promises for specific action or final decisions be made. The listener should refer the complainant to a Sexual Harassment Adviser or to a university Sexual Harassment Officer. Complainants may go to the Sexual Harassment Officer without first consulting a Sexual Harassment Adviser and may request an investigation at any time.
All SHA's are volunteers. The Sexual Harassment Officers shall arrange for a course for training of advisers. People who have successfully completed the course may serve as SHA's. Advisers will be available to serve as sources of initial information to any individual who has a complaint or who needs information about sexual harassment.
The names of the advisers shall be published at the beginning of each semester and are available in the following offices: Dean of Students, Director of Affirmative Action, and the Office of Graduate Division. Advisers will have information about applicable laws, university policies and procedures, and options available for resolution of complaints. The Advisers shall:
Discussion between complainants and Sexual Harassment Advisers can occur without a written complaint and without identification of the person bringing the complaint and shall not imply guilt or innocence. No written record of specific complaints or actions taken to this point in the procedures shall be kept.
However, a simple tally of the number and type of complaints shall be kept and reported to the appropriate Sexual Harassment Officer at the end of each semester.
If further action is requested by the complainant, the SHA shall refer the complainant to a Sexual Harassment Officer (SHO) and explain the responsibilities and duties of those officers. In addition, SHA's have an obligation to notify SHO's when it appears the university should act, even if the complainant has not requested further action. The SHA is not authorized to notify either the accused or any supervisor of the accused.
Sexual Harassment Officers are presidential designees and in that capacity are accountable directly to the President. The SHO's shall be the Dean of Students, Director of Affirmative Action, and the Associate Dean of Graduate Division. SHO's are empowered to hear and evaluate each complaint of alleged sexual harassment and to attempt resolution. SHO's shall observe basic standards of due process and confidentiality in all actions.
The Sexual Harassment Officers shall pursue complaints promptly through the stages outlined below.
Any discussion, investigation, or action taken under these procedures shall not conflict with student grievance procedures, regulations governing student affairs, collective bargaining contracts, and Executive Order 419.
The complainant may choose to enter into a pre-formal discussion or to request that the SHO conduct an investigation immediately (see Pre-formal Investigation and Reporting below).
Pre-formal discussion or resolution does not require a written complaint. Any SHO will hear complaints, determine the remedy sought, and review options for resolution. The review shall include a discussion of applicable university policies and procedures as well as external options for resolution. The SHO(s) shall aid the complainant in identifying ways in which further harassment might be prevented. university policy requires that the SHO keep written records of all complaints. Such records need not identify complainant or alleged harasser by name nor shall they be part of any individual's official file at this stage of the procedure.
At the request of the complainant, the SHO(s) may attempt to resolve the situation by taking some or all of the following steps:
At the request of the complainant and upon receipt of a written and signed complaint, the appropriate SHO shall initiate an investigation. If the SHO determines that circumstances so warrant, the SHO shall initiate an investigation with or without the consent of the complainant. The SHO shall notify the President, all the appropriate grievance/disciplinary officers for faculty or staff or students and the alleged harasser that an investigation is underway, and give the names of the parties involved.
The appropriate SHO shall conduct a prompt, full, and impartial investigation. The complainant shall have an opportunity to present evidence and a list of relevant and material witnesses.
A complaint for sexual harassment shall be filed within 180 days (six months) from the conduct giving rise to the complaint. The investigation shall generally be completed within 120 days (four months) of the receipt of the complaint. The time period for investigation may be extended by mutual consent of the parties or for good cause, including the complexity of the issues under investigation and the unavailability of relevant witnesses due to semester recess. Both the complainant and the accused will be informed of any extension of the investigation.
At the conclusion of the investigation, the appropriate SHO shall submit a written report to the President. The report shall include a description of the facts, the remedy sought by the complainant, and recommendations for further action if deemed necessary by the SHO. These recommendations shall be based upon the strength of evidence against the accused, the seriousness of action(s) that led to the complaint, and the remedy sought by the complainant. If formal disciplinary action is initiated, copies of the report shall be sent to the appropriate grievance/disciplinary action officer for faculty or staff or students.
If harassment is found, the university will implement such action as is necessary to correct the situation and to prevent it from recurring.
The complainant and the accused will receive written notice of the university's proposed determination regarding whether or not harassment occurred, and of the disposition of the complaint. The complainant or the accused may request reconsideration of the university's proposed determination by submitting additional relevant evidence, identifying errors of fact or of standards applied in the investigation or determination, or showing that further investigation is necessary.
A request for reconsideration of the university's proposed determination must be made to the President in writing within 10 calendar days of receipt of the Notice of Proposed Determination. The request for reconsideration must clearly specify the basis for making the request. Within 5 calendar days of receiving a request for reconsideration from either the complainant or the accused, the university will provide written notice to the other party that such a request has been made.
In processing a request for reconsideration, the university will review the information submitted, consider additional relevant evidence, correct errors of fact or of standards applied in the investigation or determination, and/or conduct further investigation if pertinent to the final determination.
If a request for reconsideration has been made, the complainant and the accused shall receive written notice of the university's final determination within 15 calendar days of the request. If there is no request for reconsideration, the complainant and the accused shall receive written notice that the university's proposed determination has become final within 15 calendar days of the Notice of Proposed Determination.
Formal complaint, reprimand, grievance, or disciplinary procedures are governed by the policies, codes, executive orders, or contracts applicable to the bargaining unit or employment category to which the alleged harasser belongs.
Should it become necessary to invoke formal reprimand or disciplinary procedures, sexual harassment will be viewed as unprofessional conduct.
Formal disciplinary procedures will be pursued by the appropriate grievance/disciplinary action officer.
Students or applicants for admission who display inappropriate conduct, including cheating and plagiarism, may be subject to disciplinary action as provided in Title 5, California Code of Regulations. Any student may be expelled, suspended, placed on probation, or given a lesser sanction for discipline problems. The Student Discipline Officer, housed in the Dean of Students Office, is responsible for administering the Student Disciplinary Procedures for the California State University and should be contacted for further information.
Inappropriate conduct by students or by applicants for admission is subject to discipline as provided in Sections 41301 through 41304 of Title 5, California Code of Regulations. These sections are as follows:
41301. Expulsion, Suspension, and Probation of Students. Following procedures consonant with due process established pursuant to Section 41304, any student of a campus may be expelled, suspended, placed on probation, or given a lesser sanction for one or more of the following causes which must be campus related:
41302. Disposition of Fees: Campus Emergency; Interim Suspension. The President of the campus may place on probation, suspend, or expel a student for one or more of the causes enumerated in Section 41301. No fees or tuition paid by or for such student for the semester, quarter, or summer session in which he or she is suspended or expelled shall be refunded. If the student is readmitted before the close of the semester, quarter, or summer session in which he or she is suspended, no additional tuition or fees shall be required of the student on account of the suspension.
During periods of campus emergency, as determined by the President of the individual campus, the President may, after consultation with the Chancellor, place into immediate effect any emergency regulations, procedures, and other measures deemed necessary or appropriate to meet the emergency, safeguard persons and property, and maintain educational activities.
The President may immediately impose an interim suspension in all cases in which there is reasonable cause to believe that such an immediate suspension is required in order to protect lives or property and to insure the maintenance of order. A student so placed on interim suspension shall be given prompt notice of charges and the opportunity for a hearing within ten (10) days of the imposition of interim suspension. During the period of interim suspension, the student shall not, without prior written permission of the President or designated representative, enter any campus of the California State University other than to attend the hearing. Violation of any condition of interim suspension shall be grounds for expulsion.
41303. Conduct by Applicants for Admission. Notwithstanding any provision in this Chapter 1 to the contrary, admission or readmission may be qualified or denied to any person who, while not enrolled as a student, commits acts which, were he enrolled as a student, would be the basis for disciplinary proceedings pursuant to Sections 41301 or 41302. Admission or readmission may be qualified or denied to any person who, while a student, commits acts which are subject to disciplinary action pursuant to Section 41301 or Section 41302. Qualified admission or denial of admission in such cases shall be determined under procedures adopted pursuant to Section 41304.
41304. Student Disciplinary Procedures for the California State University. The Chancellor shall prescribe, and may from time to time revise, a code of student disciplinary procedures for The California State University. Subject to other applicable law, this code shall provide for determinations of fact and sanctions to be applied for conduct which is a ground of discipline under Sections 41301 or 41302, and for qualified admission or denial of admission under Section 41303; the authority of the campus President in such matters; conduct related determinations on financial aid eligibility and termination; alternative kinds of proceedings, including proceedings conducted by a Hearing Officer; time limitations; notice; conduct of hearings, including provisions governing evidence, a record, and review; and such other related matters as may be appropriate.

1.1 GENERAL PROVISIONS. These procedures are to be used for the processing of student complaints about actions (with the exception of grade appeals and admission decisions) taken on behalf of San Francisco State University.
A grievance must be filed within six months of the date the wrong occurred, regardless of the date of discovery. Formal procedures shall normally be initiated no later than five weeks before the first day of finals in the semester to allow sufficient time for a possible hearing. Compliance with this limitation on filing shall be determined by the coordinator of student grievance, and that determination shall be final. Grievances not meeting this time limit, complaints and grievances previously resolved by informal means, and grievances arising out of previous grievances shall not be processed under these procedures.
A student may not utilize these procedures if a remedy is being sought by any other means for all or any part of the matter grieved.

1.2.2.

1.2.3. "Grievant" means a student presently enrolled at San Francisco State University or one who has been enrolled there within the preceding six months who has filed a grievance.
1.2.4. "Instructional day(s)" means any day(s) on which regularly scheduled classes or examinations are held at San Francisco State University.
1.2.5. "President" means the president of San Francisco State University or any person designated by the President.
1.2.6. "Respondent" means the university administrator, faculty, or staff member (or designee as determined by the coordinator) most directly responsible for the alleged official action(s) which caused the complaint.
1.2.7. "Shall" is mandatory and "may" is permissive.
1.3.1. Before a student may invoke the formal grievance procedures specified in Section 1.4, the following requirements must be satisfied:
1.4.1. At any point in the proceedings, the grievant may move to withdraw the grievance or accept an informal solution.
1.4.2. Initial Steps
1.4.3. Selection of the Grievance Hearing Committee
1.4.4. Grievance Hearing Procedures
1.5.1. Either the grievant or the respondent may appeal the decision of the Vice President.
1.5.2. The party wishing to appeal the decision must deliver a written appeal to the President with copies to the opposing party and to the coordinator. This appeal must be so delivered within five instructional days from the date of the decision of the Vice President.
1.5.3. The appeal shall specify the following:
1.5.4. Within five instructional days of receipt of a copy of the appeal, the coordinator shall cause all grievance materials to be forwarded to the President.
1.5.5. Within five instructional days of receipt of the appeal, the other party may deliver a written response to the appeal to the President, with copies to the appellant and to the coordinator, setting forth the reasons why the appeal should be denied and any facts supporting those reasons.
1.5.6. Normally, within fifteen instructional days of receipt of the appeal, the President shall render a decision thereon which shall be final for all purposes.
1.6 It shall be the responsibility of the coordinator to assist in the implementation of grievance decisions.
San Francisco State University is committed to a safe and healthy environment for the campus community. The use of alcohol and other drugs should not interfere with the university's educational mission.
The university expects every student, faculty member, staff member, and administrator to be aware of and comply with all local, state, and federal laws regarding the unlawful possession, distribution, or use of illegal drugs and alcohol.
It is the policy of San Franciso State University that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensation, possession, or use of illegal drugs on the university campus, or at any university-sponsored event off campus, is prohibited. No one may use illegal substances, or abuse legal substances, including alcohol, in a manner which impairs peformance of assigned tasks. A more complete description of these regulations is contained in University Directive #89-12 (The Alcohol and Drug Policy) and University Directive #90-15 (Policy on Substance Abuse in the Workplace) which are available at Human Resources Office, the Office of Faculty Affairs, the Office of the Dean of Students.
STUDENTS: The manufacture, distribution, possession, or use of illegal drugs or illegal use of alcohol will normally result in either probation, suspension, or dismissal from the university.
EMPLOYEES: Those found to be in violation of university policy may be subject to corrective action, up to and including dismissal, or may be required, at the discretion of the university, to participate satisfactorily in an approved counseling or rehabilitation program. All members of the campus may be subject to criminal prosecution for violation of applicable local, state, or federal laws.
After drinking, have you ever engaged in unplanned sexual activity? All alcohol [beer, wine, and hard liquor] decreases people's ability to use good judgment and act according to their own desires if they've been drinking beyond their capacity. People practice less safe sex when under the influence, more unintended pregnancies occur, more regretted sex and aquaintance rapes occur, and more diseases are transmitted sexually.
Have you ever taken speed or uppers to help you stay awake to meet a deadline? The initial effect of speed is increased alertness, increased sense of well-being, and ability to stay awake. Most uppers are short acting (6-12 hours). As the drug wears off, withdrawal sets in. The user is irritable, disinterested in the tasks at hand, needs sleep, and can be agitated--just around the time you need to be at your best.
How much can I drink and still be legal on the road? Many factors influence your blood alcohol level--such as body weight, gender, amount consumed, amount of food eaten, mood, body temperature, and previous drinking experience. As little as one drink may produce blood levels greater than the legal limit. The safest and smartest approach is to ask a non-drinking friend to drive if you drink, or designate a driver who will not drink.
Do you use cocaine to give you an "edge" in your studies or at work? Most people start using cocaine because it makes them feel "more" something--more confident, more alert, more attractive, more intelligent, more energetic. But these effects of the drug last only a few minutes, and leave the user feeling worse than they felt before. This sets up a cycle of craving the drug to feel good again, and repeated use to avoid feeling bad. Eventually, not only do you lose your "edge," but you can't even stay in the game. Cocaine can cause dramatic changes in blood pressure, as well as heart and breathing rates. One-time, occasional use or using small amounts have all been known to cause breathing to stop, stroke, or death. Crack is an especially addictive form of cocaine.
Do you smoke marijuana to forget problems with your studies or work responsibilities? If your answer is yes, the drug may be working better than you think. Marijuana can disturb both the process of formation and storage of memory. Even occasional use can result in memory impairment. It can also adversely affect your ability to concentrate and pay attention to school and work assignments. With continued use, long-term learning problems can occur as well as a reduction in motivation. This can lead to a further decline in performance of academic and job-related responsibilities. In addition, short term effects include slowed reaction time and increased heart rate. There are over 400 chemicals contained in marijuana. One joint contains 50% more tar than a cigarette.
Do you use steroids to build your muscles faster during weight training? Anabolic steroids are basically synthetic male hormones that are often used to rapidly increase muscle mass. While steroids can contribute to faster muscle building when combined with weight training, they can also cause atrophy of the testicles and enlargement of the prostrate in men; in women, an increase in body hair and baldness may be seen. There are a number of other toxic side effects of steroid use including liver damage, and there is danger of HIV infection from the sharing of needles used to inject the steroids. The added muscle attributed to steroid use hardly seems worth the dangers.
Has drinking alcohol effected your studies? In a recent study, 14% of SFSU students who drink reported that they had missed a class because of drinking, 19% reported that they had fallen behind in school work, and 19% stated that they had done something that they later regretted. Nation-wide campus statistics suggest that alcohol is involved in:

Kerry: Egypt needs political, economic viability
Secretary meets with business figures for a 'very, very spirited' discussion to set the stage for a large international aid deal
CAIRO (AP) — Egypt's bickering government and opposition need to create "a sense of political and economic viability," giving businesses confidence and setting the stage for a vital international aid deal, US Secretary of State John Kerry said Saturday.
Kerry stressed to business leaders the importance of Egyptians coming together around human rights, freedom of speech and religious tolerance. Equally essential, he said, is uniting "to meet the economic challenge of this particular moment."
He arrived in Cairo, the latest stop on his first overseas trip as a member of President Barack Obama's second-term Cabinet, intending to press all sides to come to a basic agreement on Egypt's direction ahead of parliamentary elections that begin next month.
Of great concern, too, is the ability of Egypt to undertake the reforms necessary to qualify for a $4.8 billion International Monetary Fund loan package. Steps could include increasing tax collections and curbing energy subsidies.
Agreement with the IMF, contingent on ending the political chaos that has ensued since President Mohammed Morsi's election, would unlock significant US assistance, including portions of Obama's $1 billion pledge last April.
"It is paramount, essential, urgent," Kerry told business leaders, "that the Egyptian economy gets stronger, gets back on its feet and it's very clear that there is a circle of connections in how that can happen.
"To attract capital, to bring money back here, to give business the confidence to move forward, there has to be sense of security, there has to be a sense of political and economic viability."
Kerry, who was to meet with Morsi on Sunday, said he would tell the president that US assistance would depend on Egyptian reforms and the IMF agreement.
"It is clear to us that the IMF arrangement needs to be reached and we need to give the marketplace some confidence," Kerry said.
Several hundred people protested outside the government offices where Kerry planned to meet with Foreign Minister Amr Kamel. They burned Kerry's pictures and chanted that Washington was siding with Morsi's ruling Muslim Brotherhood.
The political turmoil has scared away tourists and foreign investors, eroding Egypt's foreign reserves by nearly two-thirds of what it was before the uprising. Those reserves, which stand at less than $14 billion, are needed to pay for subsidies that millions of poor Egyptians rely on for survival.
Kerry met with opposition figures before a round-table discussion with members of the business community. He described the first session as "very, very spirited."
According to the US State Department, Kerry also spoke by telephone with Mohammed ElBaradei, a Nobel laureate who heads the National Salvation Front, an opposition coalition calling for an election boycott.
ElBaradei and Hamdeen Sabahi had said in the run-up to the secretary's visit that they turned down invitations to meet with Kerry on account of Washington's meddling in Egyptian affairs. The US has called on the National Salvation Front to cancel its boycott of the parliamentary elections, scheduled for April.
Kerry met with Amr Moussa, a former minister under ex-President Hosni Mubarak who's now aligned with the Salvation Front. Moussa, an ex-Arab League head, ran for president last summer.
A statement from Moussa's office said the two talked about how the US could support Egypt economically.
Kerry's talks with the league's current leader, Nabil Elaraby, covered the uprising in Syria, where 70,000 people have died in fighting over nearly two years.
The Salvation Front says it could consider participating in elections if parts of a new constitution are changed, police stop using excessive force against protesters and if an inclusive government of the Christian minority, women, and liberals is formed.
They say now is not the time for elections that will further polarize the country while violent clashes continue to take place between protesters and security forces, further shaking the faltering economy.
They accuse Morsi and the Brotherhood of dominating power in Egypt, effectively stepping in to the same role as Mubarak and failing to carry out reforms while also seeking to instill a more religiously conservative system.
Morsi's administration and the Brotherhood say their opponents, who have trailed significantly behind Islamists in all elections since the uprising, are running away from the challenge of the ballot box and are trying to overturn democratic gains.
Egypt has been locked in political crisis for months amid successive waves of protests against Morsi that have turned into deadly clashes and rioting.
As Kerry was meeting with opposition figures, including some who have joined the election boycott, activists in the Nile Delta city of Mansoura say a 35-year-old protester was killed when an armored police vehicle crushed him to death during violent anti-Morsi protests before dawn on Saturday.
A 14-year-old boy was reported to be shot in the head and critically wounded.
In the restive Suez Canal city of Port Said, a police vehicle ran over five people Saturday after protesters marching along a main street refused to allow the car through.
Kerry's visit to Egypt is the sixth leg of a nine-nation trip through Europe and the Middle East.

Enterprise Resource Planning
Enterprise Resource Planning systems (ERPs) integrate (or attempt to integrate) all data and processes of an organization into a single unified system. A typical ERP system will use multiple components of computer software and hardware to achieve the integration. A key ingredient of most ERP systems is the use of a single, unified database to store data for the various system modules.

Jacque Reid goes "Inside Her Story" with Chrystal Travis and David Wood about Wood's choice to birth a child via surrogate in India and raise it on his own as a single black male.
Wood has acted as a father figure for his cousins and at 49-years-old has decided to have a child of his own. Reid asked him as an available, heterosexual male, why not find a woman and have a baby, he responded, "I believe in dating the women, not dating a womb."
Going on to say, "you date the person, not the breeding capacity."
Wood made his first sperm deposit yesterday, with another on Thursday, and his sperm will finally be sent Monday to India tp begin the process.
According to Travis, they have found a "beautiful" Indian surrogate who favors Wood to have his baby with.
He plans on naming his child David or Chase.

Final Update!!!
WE DID IT, MARSHMALLOWS! With six hours to spare, we shattered the last record we were aiming for, passing 87,143 to become the Kickstarter with the all-time highest number of backers.
Let's review our accomplishments for a moment, shall we?
- Fastest project to reach $1 million.
- Fastest project to reach $2 million.
- All-time highest-funded project in FILM category.
- Third highest-funded project in Kickstarter history.
- Most project backers of any project in Kickstarter history.
And we suspect there might be others. You're simply amazing.
As a token of our appreciation to the 90,000+ backers who have helped us raise more than $5.6 million to support the film, we're excited to announce that all backers pledging $10 or more will get an additional reward: a sheet of exclusive Veronica Mars stickers designed just for our backers. We're finalizing the designs, but we expect them to look a lot like this:
Check back here every day for more announcements and new rewards, and help us make the Veronica Mars movie we (and you) have been waiting for. LoVe and Gratitude - Rob, Kristen & The Team
Stay Involved!
We need your help to spread the word! Please LIKE us at http://www.facebook.com/TheVeronicaMarsMovie and youtube.com/veronicamarsmovie and FOLLOW us on Twitter via @VeronicaMars, @RobThomas and @IMKristenBell to stay involved. Tell other fans! Tell co-workers and classmates! And of course, keep checking here for more updates!
NEW!!! Official T-Shirt Designs!
Great news! We've got official t-shirt designs to share, and we couldn't be more excited about them. Backers at $25 and above will get to choose from two options.
The first is California Noir, featuring the world's sassiest detective back in action.
The second is called Mini-Blinds, and takes a more subtle approach.
Both t-shirt designs are black, and printed on unbelievably soft, beautiful materials. These are not never-to-be-worn t-shirts, we guarantee. These are the real deal. When the Kickstarter campaign ends, after we've had a little time to organize the results, we'll get in touch backers so you can tell us your preferred design, size, etc.
Updates from Rob & Kristen!
April 11
April 2
We are in the home stretch now, Marshmallows! And here's the new situation: our not-so-secret ambition is to have more backers than any Kickstarter drive in history. To do that we just need to get past Double Fine Adventure's 87,142 backers. We just need 23,000 more backers.
So, starting right now, we're adding an official $1 donor level. Get your friends to climb aboard, and help us make history! Also, starting today, Kickstarter backers are going to begin receiving exclusive for-your-eyes only content. You can get in on that with a simple $1 pledge! (And of course, if you've already donated, you're already on the exclusive update gravy wagon.) Plus, there'll be a backers-only treat tomorrow. I promise.
You guys are the best. Keep it up. Our love is epic. - Rob
March 13
Well, there's no other way to say it: wow. We asked for help, and you came through in the biggest way. It's hard to believe how fast we shattered some of Kickstarter's biggest records, but that's what you guys do. Us? We're just excited and grateful, and thrilled that so many of you want to go back to Neptune with us. But you know what? Now that we know what's possible, there's more work to do. $2,000,000 is just the beginning! We've got 30 days, and the more we raise, the bigger and better this movie will be. So, let's not pop the cork on this champagne yet. We still need you! Please keep it up, and we'll keep working to deserve your support.
- Rob
11 hours, you guys? Seriously? It only took you 11 HOURS to cross 2 million dollars? You speedy little marshmallows :) Words can't even express how excited we are. You came through, and I'll keep my promise too. We're going to make the best Veronica Mars movie anyone ever made, and the movie YOU deserve. Because YOU made this happen. But there's still time, and the more we raise, the better we can make it. All of the money you pledge this month goes right back into making this movie the one you've been waiting for, and the movie we've been waiting to make. So call your friends. Rally the troops. Lets break another record.
LoVe always,
kristen bell
Day 1: Messages from Rob & Kristen
Almost since Veronica Mars went off the air, there's been talk of making a movie. In that span, I've taken different tactics in dealing with the question of whether it might happen. To be clear, I've always wanted to make a Veronica Mars movie. I love writing these characters and working with these actors. Kristen Bell has always wanted to make the movie.
There was a moment, a few years ago, when we thought we had a real shot at making it happen. I developed a pitch that revolved around graduation day at Hearst college -- Wallace and Mac were graduating at least, Veronica had been sidetracked by freeing Keith from prison. Plus, there was a murder in Neptune that was affecting the beach city's spring break business in much the same way a great white shark affected the beach community of Amity. I probably stoked fan fervor in my optimistic comments about the prospects. Warner Bros. wasn't convinced there was enough interest to warrant a major studio-sized movie about Veronica and the project never got off the ground.
After that, I tried to tamp down expectations. I didn't want to be guilty — at least not twice — of building up hope when the odds seemed so long. Still, without fail, in every interview I do or every place I speak, I get the "will there be a Veronica Mars movie?" question. Even after a couple of years of downplaying the chances, I'd still run across blog postings headlined, "will Rob Thomas shut up about the Veronica Mars movie, already!" I was trying to. I promise.
I first found out about Kickstarter a couple of years ago from an Austin musician friend of mine — Robert Harrison, lead singer of Cotton Mather, the band that gave us "Lily Dreams On," our closing song of season 1. He financed a rerelease of the band's fantastic Kontiki album. Later, I was marveling about Kickstarter with another buddy of mine who said off-handedly, "You should use Kickstarter to raise the money to make the Veronica Mars movie." I chuckled. That seemed like a silly idea in the moment. We'd need millions. But for the next few weeks, the notion was never far from my mind. I started doing the proverbial back-of-a-cocktail-napkin math. The average pledge on Kickstarter is $71. Hell, if we could get 30,000 people to give the average donation, we could finance the movie, particularly if the cast and I were willing to work cheap. The most common donation amount on Kickstarter is $25. Surely, 80,000 of our three million viewers would find that price-point viable!
Of course, Warner Bros. still owns Veronica Mars and we would need their blessing and cooperation to pull this off. Kristen and I met with the Warner Bros. brass, and they agreed to allow us to take this shot. They were extremely cool about it, as a matter of fact. Their reaction was, if you can show there's enough fan interest to warrant a movie, we're on board. So this is it. This is our shot. I believe it's the only one we've got. It's nerve-wracking. I suppose we could fail in spectacular fashion, but there's also the chance that we completely revolutionize how projects like ours can get made. No Kickstarter project ever has set a goal this high. It's up to you, the fans, now. If the project is successful, our plan is to go into production this summer and the movie will be released in early 2014.
Life has taken Veronica away from Neptune. In the years since spoiling Keith's chances to be reelected sheriff, Veronica hasn't taken a case. But something big is about to bring her back home and back to her calling. My goal is to include as many of your favorite characters as possible. It is, after all, time for Veronica's 10-year high school reunion. Keep in mind that the more money we raise, the cooler movie we can make. A two million dollar fundraising total probably means cross words are exchanged at the class reunion. Three million? We can afford a full-on brawl. Ten million? Who knows... For some reason the Neptune High class reunion takes place on a nuclear submarine! A Hobbit shows up! There's a Bollywood end-credit dance number! I've always wanted to direct Bill Murray. We'll figure out something cool. Hey, if that total goes high enough, I'll bet the good folks at Warner Bros. will agree a sequel is a good idea.
Thanks to everyone who hasn't lost faith.
Day 1: A Message from Kristen
dearest marshmallows...
I am currently the happiest blonde in a hamster ball the world has ever seen. We have been waiting so long to make this movie dream a movie reality, and it's because of YOUR commitment, YOUR persistence, that we finally have a chance. We just have one more step to go.
You have banded together like the sassy little honey badgers you are and made this possibility happen. i promise if we hit our goal, we will make the sleuthiest, snarkiest, it's-all-fun-and-games-'til-one-of-you-gets-my-foot-up-your-ass movie we possibly can.
I promise to give it my all. i promise to work my hardest to give everyone a little bit more Veronica, and i will be oh so honored to do so.
I only ask for one thing in return.
If I ever die, do me a favor. Go on Oprah and tell the world that I loved kittens.
LoVe to you ALL,
kristen bell
More Countries! More Continents!
Our first nine reward levels are now available to backers in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the UK and the USA. (But please note that additional charges for international shipping might apply!) Thank you so much for your patience. We're so happy to have you aboard.
Risiken und Herausforderungen
The Veronica Mars movie project faces the usual risks of film and TV production — what if Kristen Bell joins a cult bent on the destruction of visual media? What if gangland enforcers break Rob's typing fingers? Never fear: we are offsetting those risks with production insurance, contingency plans, and a production team with decades of experience.
One of our biggest challenges is coordinating schedules. We only have a few weeks to shoot and most of our cast members have additional obligations. We're going to do our best to coordinate everyone's availability, and we think we've figured out timing that works for most of the cast. We're going to do our best to include as many of your favorite characters as possible (we know that's important!) but it's possible that some actors won't be available during our shooting window.
Distribution is always a challenge with low-budget films, but Warner Bros. is going to help us distribute the movie, and try to get it out there as widely as possible.
With respect to rewards fulfillment, we will be working with a professional fulfillment partner to get all your DVDs, digital downloads, and other goodies delivered safely and on schedule.
I'll be sending regular updates about our progress to all backers, so you'll be the first to know about what's going on.

Fritter Recipes
Pepper Poppers
If you've been following my culinary adventures for a while, you probably know that Daddy's (my father-in-law) diet revolves around anything spicy. So he rarely eats the French dishes (except for the desserts) or Vietnamese meals I prepare for the rest of our family. So today, I prepared pepper popper appetizers. Who doesn't like fried food? Not even Daddy could say no. I prepared mild ones using mini tri-colored peppers and jalapeno peppers, and a couple of really spicy ones just for him.
Mini peppers are hollowed out, stuffed with a cheese mixture, breaded and deep-fried. You can't go wrong!

Cauliflower Fritters (Gobi Pakora)
I still had a lot of cauliflower left after making a healthy chou fleur vinaigrette, so I finished the remaining head of cauliflower in a slightly less healthy way. These Indian cauliflower fritters take no time to prepare and no resting time is required. The batter is made from besan (garbanzo flour) mixed with lots of Indian spices. The rest really comes down to what vegetables are available in the refrigerator.
Pakora are my go-to snack food whenever we have last minute guests. Fried food is always a crowd pleaser in my house!

Deep Fried Feta Cheese Recipe
This weekend is the Super Bowl, but Lulu and his friends are so disappointed that the Niners didn't quite make it (and with Kyle Williams in particular) that they're threatening not to watch the game. Even though the boys are being such party poopers, I still plan on putting out a nice spread. As they say, the game must go on!
This particular dish is my take on the traditional fare of breaded mozzarella cheese sticks. Instead of mozzarella though, I made my fried treats with raw feta cheese. The cheese is from Redwood Hill Farms, and it is just delicious! It has such a strong flavor and really holds up well to being deep-fried. Unlike mozzarella, feta cheese doesn't melt but keeps a very pleasant firm texture.
To finish the plate, I drizzled a basil dressing on the appetizers for a contrast of color. For the party, I'll probably serve the fried feta cheese on a large tray, but you could also place a smaller portion as I did on a bed of diced vegetables.

Pumpkin Fritter Recipe
I've been feeding my husband Lulu very healthy food since the beginning of the year. I was thinking he couldn't take much anymore, so when he came home I decided to give him a reprieve of sorts. I had already steamed some pumpkin that I intended to add to a low cal, healthy canh (Vietnamese soup). As a treat, I took some of the extra diced pumpkin and created dumplings that I deep-fried.
My trick for making fluffy fritters is to replace the standard combination of ice water, flour and baking powder with just cold beer and flour. It gives a nice aroma to the appetizer and pairs well with pumpkin. I also garnished the dish with slices of fried chiles for color.

Pakora Curry (Dahi Besan Curry Recipe)
Pakora curry are fried dumplings made of a mixture of chickpea (besan) flour and spices soaked in a yogurt-based (dahi in Urdu) sauce. The dish is fairly easy to assemble.
It's one of my father-in-law's favorite dishes, and I was determined to learn how to make it. My husband Lulu's aunt, Sara, gave me the directions over the phone, so I was able to follow her step by step instructions. I served this curry with steamed basmati rice.

From the Veterans Affairs Hospital, to the city of Grand Junction and various non-profit agencies, homelessness is a fight Mesa County is taking on as a community.
Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia wanted to learn from Mesa County's successes in ending homelessness so he could share those messages across the state. During his time in Grand Junction, he focused much of his attention on veteran homelessness and how multiple agencies across the Valley are working together to find homes for those on the streets.
Synergy is the interaction of elements that when combined, produce an effect greater than the sum of the individual parts. In Mesa County, it was the synergic effort in the fight against homelessness which drew the attention of the governor's office.
"Different agencies here collaborate with each other," Catholic Outreach Sister Karen Bland said. "They just wanted to see how we made [homelessness decrease]."
While the state continues its fight against homelessness, leaders are looking to those communities which have shown strides in recent years in getting people back into homes.
"Mesa County is really kind of setting a standard. Mesa County is doing an outstanding job," Lieutenant Governor Garcia said. "When you bring together the faith community, local government, state government with federal dollars, you can really make a difference."
Sister Karen says the success in Mesa County comes from various organizations working together.
"It's not just opening a door and letting someone go in. You need support for them, you need direction toward resources," she said.
Those local resources range from the city and police to the VA Hospital, homeless shelters and the Grand Junction Housing Authority.
"We communicate so closely and frankly we treat the homeless people as individuals, not just as numbers," Grand Junction Housing Authority CEO Jody Kole said.
Kole also said Lt. Governor Garcia was impressed with Mesa County's use of Veteran's Assistance Supportive Housing (VASH) housing vouchers.
"Grand Junction has 140 vouchers dedicated to serving the needs of homeless veterans, and we have most of them housed up and veterans successfully in housing. We hope to achieve more vouchers for that program in the future," she said.
In the last 100 days, Mesa County has housed 18 vets, 13 of whom were chronically homeless.
Much of Friday's meeting focused on finding veterans homes, something Mesa County has excelled in with the support of the Catholic Outreach's St. Martin's Place.
"We know a lot of our veterans come back and have some mental health issues, sometimes have a hard time finding jobs in a down economy," Lt. Governor Garcia said.
The state hopes to take its lessons from mesa county back to Denver, because as various groups have shown here, if a persona is given a chance and direction, lives can truly be changed for the better.
"My VA [Hospital] family [was] extended," St. Martin's Place resident Mary Sonneborn said of moving into the facility. "I took a chance and came down and found a whole different group of people that treat you like family."
KKCO 11 News asked Lieutenant Governor if he thought Mesa County's goal of ending homelessness in ten years was possible. He says it can happen, but it will take community recognition of the problem and a commitment to fix it.
He added Mesa County is off to a great start.

It's been a while since I've participated in Illustration Friday. It's kind of a challenging prompt "Tribute". Yesterday I was working outdoors and was thinking, it would be a nice "tribute" to spring to sketch a leaf. We are FINALLY seeing spring in these parts. With a series of 70-plus degree temperatures, spring has been just busting out all over!
When you sketch a leaf or flower, you notice things you wouldn't when you admire it from afar, and the bulk of leaves on a tree. So I was appreciating how this leaf and the flower near it was constructed, the number of blades, the structure of the veins, the number of petals and pistols. I noticed, too, that I started impatiently to draw it, but quickly settled down to enjoy the process. And I'm so used to drawing on the computer, once I had the line drawing, I wanted to preserve that and make multiple copies to colorize, always having the original line drawing. Funny how that is. Oh, and what kind of tree is this…? I'm not sure, but the leaf looks like it might be a Maple of some sort.
Maybe this will encourage me to start sketching again. It's been a long time.
