CSU researchers silenced by Chancellor’s Office Task force allegedly prevented from presenting results GEOVANNI BOTTICELLA

Reporter

CSU task force created to review and recommend changes to the system’s math criteria were allegedly prevented from presenting their research by the CSU Chancellor’s Office, according to the task forces co-chair. “The Chancellor’s Office told us we weren’t allowed to present to (the deans) because if we presented to them, we would bias them in favor of our report,” said Katherine Stevenson, co-chair of the task force and math professor at CSUN. In February of 2016, the CSU system organized the Quantitative Reasoning Task Force to review the current standards for math and recommend changes to the curriculum. The recommendations made by the task force included an updated defi nition of quantitative reasoning and removal of intermediate algebra requirements, according to their report. At the same time, the CO was preparing to release Executive Order 1110, which would alter math programs system-wide. When the task force released their report in September of 2016 the CO told them not to present their fi ndings to any CSU campuses, according to Stevenson. “I think by the time we turned in that report they had already made up their minds and knew what they wanted to do, and the report was irrelevant,” Stevenson said.

Ken O’Donnell, who was the liaison between the task force and the CO, said in an email that he did not know about the CO denying the task force from presenting their research. However, O’Donnell left his position as liaison once the research was finished but before the task force began reporting on it. “I haven’t heard of cases where the task force was asked not to present its findings,” O’Donnell said. “As far as I know all the materials and final report were made public, and openly posted online.” While the report was sent out to colleges, the task force was unable to present their research at any conferences, to campus deans or provosts, according to Stevenson. “We were excluded from the CSUwide meetings and we were given no opportunity to present at campuses unless we happened to know people at the campuses who insisted on inviting us,” Stevenson said. “But there was notfacilitation done by the CSU to help us spread the word about the report.” Without presenting the report to the campuses, the campus deans were left to interpret the research themselves without members of the task force clarifying what the research meant. This also made it difficult to have a discussion about the recommendations with the CSU campuses, according to Stevenson. While some recommendations from the report were part of the chancellor’s new math plan, like removing an intermediate math prerequisite, some important aspects were left out, such

as creating a defi nition for quantitative reasoning to better guide the creation of math curriculum, according to Stevenson. “The only thing it did that followed our recommendation was to remove the intermediate algebra requirement,” Stevenson said. “But we said remove the requirement and have this defi nition. They created a vacuum. We didn’t say get rid of the remediation, we said make sure it’s serving the student’s pathway. Maybe that’s a stretch course, maybe that’s a co-req class, maybe for some students that is full-on remediation.” Toni Molle, the director of public affairs for the CO, said in an email that other elements of the task force were implemented outside of EO 1110. A Center for the Advancement of Instruction in Quantitative Reasoning has been created, and there have been discussions about requiring a fourth year of math in high school for admittance to the CSUs. Those were both recommended by the task force. Ultimately, Stevenson feels that the CO ignored the task force’s fi nding to avoid cooperation with faculty. “I think that they were afraid that if they engaged with the faculty through the task force or other organizations that their vision would get watered down,” Stevenson said. “They didn’t care about the faculty. If they had sat down with us they would have realized we might have been going in the same direction and asked us what we needed to bring the faculty on board. We could have gotten there.”

tudents gain learning experiences in the taxation and accounting field while also providing cost-free tax services for low-income residents in the San Fernando Valley through the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at CSUN. The Bookstein Institute for Higher Education in Taxation offers three accounting classes and a paid position as an operations supervisor, where students can enroll based on experience level and volunteer for the CSUN VITA Clinic, which is a part of the David Nazarian College of Business and Economics. “This program hasn’t just impacted students, it’s impacted the community, it goes beyond CSUN,” said Rafi Efrat, the Bookstein Chair in Taxation. “The clinic is the largest free-tax preparation service in Los Angeles County and second largest in the state.” Beginning in 1970, the VITA Clinic now has 12 locations and over 400 student volunteers, and has serviced over 7,000 San Fernando Valley residents and filed over $8 million in tax returns in 2018. The clinic has assisted over 7,500 people, more than half of which were outside of CSUN, and is projected to increase 10% for 2019. Wells Fargo donated $50,000 and the Bank of Hope donated $20,000 to CSUN in 2018 to help expand VITA locations beyond the San Fernando Valley. A new initiative, called CSU 5, will expand the clinic to five state campuses and six community colleges across Southern California. “We have had a VITA program for the last 14 or so years,” said Sudha Krishnan, professor of accounting at CSU Long Beach, in an email. “But with the new CSU 5 VITA program, we have expanded the timing, locations and got additional funding through the grant to advertise and expand the program. As a result of this expansion, as of March 31, our site had filed 1692 state & federal tax returns with 78 volunteers.” Students from all majors are able to enroll in the first-level accounting courses and in the higher levels once volunteer hours are done in the prior year. Efrat said the class is offered to anyone who wants to learn about taxation. Students can provide assistance based on their area of education, such as Spanish and deaf studies majors who can interpret, and marketing majors can advertise the clinic. “I’ve been here with VITA for three years,” said Argin Yadgarian, supervisor at the clinic and a senior in accounting. “I’ve been able to have hands-on training and an understanding of what goes on in accounting because of (the clinic).” Students in the course do 32 hours of training at the beginning of the semester before starting volunteer hours. Volunteering hours vary based on class-level and based on schedule, and volunteers are placed at different locations. Students and residents that have made less than $54,000 the year prior qualify for no-cost income tax services. The program runs until April 15, which is the last day taxes can be filed. “I’ve been able to help families in the community save money,” said Yadgarian. “Which has been a very rewarding thing each year I’m here.”

Students elects new AS leaders into office GABRIELA SORIANO

Reporter

heers and applause resonated inside the Sustainability Center Thursday night when it was revealed that “The Voice You Deserve” slate candidates, Diana Vicente and Mohammad “Q” Hotaki, were elected AS president and vice president for the upcoming academic year. After their intense and grueling hard work, Vicente and Hotaki found themselves overjoyed after hearing they’d been elected AS president and VP. “I’m so excited, I’ve been waiting and preparing for this for a really long time and it’s here so the hard work really paid off,” Vicente said. Vice president-elect Hotaki, ecstatic with the results, credited Vicente, and his slate’s campaigning strategies and determination throughout the past two days as resourceful and expressed excitement to start this new journey for the students. “I’m so excited to take up this opportunity and I’m more than happy they’ve allowed us to have this chance to give back to them to represent a various diverse community,” said Hotaki. Zahraa Khuraibet, former AS vice president and campaign manager for “The Voice You Deserve,” expressed being proud of Vicente and Hotaki because she knew both of them were ready to take up the position and responsibility of being AS president and VP. “I knew that the student body needed

someone that cared, someone that was ready and had experience and working with Diana and being her boss last year and knowing Mohammad I knew they were a match and were ready for this,” said Khuraibet. “Their passion and dedication were evident and I knew I had to invest in campaigning for them.” Warren Yee, AS chair of elections, said voting had a big turnout this year compared to the 2018 elections. Out of the 33,682 students eligible to vote, 5,778 voted. “The (voting) turnout was big, one of the biggest ever ... last year 13% of students voted compared to this year’s 17%,” said Yee. “There was a lot at stake for students with the referendum fee increases and what would have to be cut would have had an astronomical impact for

students had they not voted.” The Instructionally Related Activities fee passed with 3,072 votes, the Student Health Center fee passed with 3,520 votes, and the AS fee passed with 3,421 votes. Each fee increase is a mandatory, campus-based fee which all students pay each semester. These increment in funds will help IRA, the Student Health Center, and AS in helping to support clubs and organizations, aid to keep the SHC’s physical therapy, pharmacy, and dental services, and help AS for services such as Big Show, Big Lecture, and the Farmer’s Market, according to the AS referendum document. “In my heart, there was no doubt the referendums would not pass, we’d been putting off these fee increases for a really long time and

with the budget being the way it is we would have had to cut down on a lot of things,” said Yee. “The referendums won by a big margin so a lot of students really cared.” Both Vicente and Hotaki plan to implement programs they know will benefit CSUN students, such as a book voucher program that will relieve students of financial hardship when buying school books, and just hope to do right by the students. “We’re excited, we’re ready, and we want our students to have communication with us, just because we won does not mean we’re any different or that we’re going to stop communicating with them,” said Vicente. “We’re going to listen to what they want and make the changes we believe in for them.”

Arts&Entertainment Jazz fusion band looks to create social change JOHN HERNANDEZ

Photographer

uring the summer of 2018 a collective of six friends — including four CSUN students from the music department — gathered together and made the decision to form the sextet band, I’m Sorry. Jazz performance major Ben McPeek is credited with forming the ensemble, gathering an array of multi-talented musicians to be part of his group. McPeek’s selection brought in a variety of instruments to the band, including the guitar, bass, piano, drums, saxophone, trumpet, as well as a mini synthesizer keyboard, and a sound Fx pad. Playing the saxophone for nine years meant that McPeek understood the theory and aspects of jazz. However, his goal for I’m Sorry was to individualize the sound by incorporating outside inf luences into jazz. The result was jazz fusion, a unique-sounding musical genre introduced and honed by professional trumpet player Miles Davis during the 1960s. Jazz fusion is comprised of traditional jazz combined with rock and other musical inf luences. Later, I’m Sorry turned to synthesizers and electronic instrumentals to aid the distinguished and traditional jazz sound. The result was ear-bending and multi-faceted eclectic jazz fusion. The group originally began with hopes of simply going with the f low through a combination of instrumental elements to create art through the jazz. “We all had a similar idea of wanting to create something that we maybe didn’t know what we were doing, and trying to kind of push our boundaries of what we were comfortable with,” McPeek

said. However, as their one year anniversary approaches this summer, the band’s focus has transitioned into music for activism and social change. With their powerful idiosyncratic style, the band’s vision is to be the voice of minority communities and those who cannot speak up for themselves, as well as raising awareness for an array of issues. I’m Sorry hopes to release a song in the coming months pertaining to McDonald’s and peoples’ addiction to the fast-food chain nationwide. “I want to be part of that and I want to be a part of voices I believe in, bringing a voice to minorities and people who are suffering through large scale systems in the U.S.,” McPeek said. He believes that “music can bring people together and bring those ideas together and can organize and unite and have a voice for themselves.”

Keelan Walters playing the guitar on Feb. 17, a day before I’m Sorry was set to perform at their first gig. Prior to his advancement in the stringed instrument, Walters was raised playing the drums, as his father is a drummer. Walters slowly transitioned to the guitar, which he immediately fell in love with and has honed the skills for these past years.

San Jose native Miles Martin plays the drums during rehearsal on Feb. 17. While Martin began his music career in elementary with the piano, it was the mistake of forgetting his piano book during private lessons that made his instructor place him on the drums.

Jazz performance major and band leader, Ben McPeek, plays the saxophone in Cypress Hall on March 17. He and his fellow band mates are practicing their self-composed songs for an upcoming recording of their EP in a studio.

Jazz performance major Jesse Seibold works with a Sound Fx Pad controller during band practice on March 26. While Seibold is the group’s trumpet player, he also focuses on providing sound effects for songs that require the use of them.

Josh Turner, I’m Sorry’s bassist, plays during their first ever performance at the bar lounge bluewhale in Downtown LA’s Little Tokyo District on Feb. 18. Turner is a junior at California Institute of the Arts in Santa Clarita, and met McPeek during a gig at the bar, The Attic.

Ariana Grande and Victoria Monét have joined forces yet again for the drop of this fun cut. Grande is no stranger to boastful lyricism as her and Monét collaboratively ﬂow with lyrics like “Treat my goals like property / Collect them like Monopoly.”

Critics have taken a stab at Mac DeMarco in the past for his recycled use of lulled instrumentals and drowsy vocals. Although this sound is no different than his previous cuts, DeMarco’s interpersonal lyrics are the only highlight on this tune.

This track may be difﬁcult to take seriously, as a crossover in trap and country can be comical. However, the tune is catchy and the resulting memes are enough to consider the collaboration a positive contribution.

Omar Apollo’s new single carries an acoustic ambiance made possible by ﬁnger-picked guitars and raw vocals. The tempo is a lot slower than what Apollo usually goes for but it expertly works with its pensive lyrics.

“Kill This Love” by BLACKPINK Released: April 5 This track is a perfect emblem of the experimental depth the group can conquer. There are marching band instrumentals that add a certain something to the usual bubblegum-pop that has followed the girl group in the past.

Opinion Satire: How to ‘just get along’

‘Advice’ on how to get along with those who test your patience SARAH HOFSTEDT

or the most part, you’re a nice person, right? You hold doors open, you don’t cut in line and you smile awkwardly when you make eye contact with strangers. But sometimes, certain personalities can test the patience of even the thickest, syrupy sweetest people. We all have at least one person that we dread interacting with in any capacity. Do not worry, my brave colleagues. Here are some ways to tolerate even the most intolerable ding-dongs of society.

Fake it. I know, I know. You hate this person. You can’t stand the grating sound of their voice or the malevolent scent of their lotion. However, if you can just fake being nice to them for the fi rst 20 minutes of being in their ugly presence, you’ll hopefully power through the initial nausea associated with talking to them. Then, you can fi nish your side quest and go home to release all of the pent-up rage you earned talking to that person by crying into your pillow. Eye on the fi nish line. Remember why you have to talk to this person. Are they your boss? A group project member? You cannot allow one or seven unpleasant encounters sully your chance at success. If you can’t think of a good reason to interact with this person, then it is your right as a human to walk off in the middle of one of their sentences and never return.

Pretend they are someone else. If all else fails, just pretend they’re someone cool and fun, like Jeff Goldblum, or the Easter bunny. Then, every annoying thing they say or do will be re-framed as quirky or deep or whatever. This works especially well

if you have a strong visual imagination; then you can imagine that they’re really attractive. By consistently pretending that they’re likable, you may even trick yourself into actually liking them. Then you won’t have to worry about all this.

Cardi B needs to be held accountable

Women need to face the same consequences for their actions as men DESTINY NADEAU

Opinions Editor

saw a post the other day comparing Cardi B to Malcolm X. To summarize, the author of the Instagram post commented on the fact that Cardi B was only doing what she needed to do to survive. She drugged and robbed men to achieve her dreams in an attempt to remove herself from a negative sphere. There are a few things wrong with this: 1. Malcolm X was an American Muslim minister and a human rights activist who was a popular ﬁgure during the civil rights movement. 2. He was alive during the Jim Crow Era. 3. He is best known for his advocacy for black Americans. And those are only the top three points that came to my head. Cardi B, on the other hand, is none of those things. Nor has she accomplished anything revolutionary. In fact, she’s colorist, homophobic and transphobic. I had a conversation with my best friend the other day and asked what she thought of the

rapper. Her response, verbatim, was: “Her music is good if you need a ratchet day, but as a person, I’m not sure.” So, naturally, we discussed Cardi B’s recent problematic situation (i.e. drugging men and robbing them) and my friend said, “But men have been rapping about doing these same things to women for decades. Why is she receiving this kind of backlash when men haven’t?” Okay, a few things wrong with this: 1. Society does call men out on these issues, the only reason why we do not see any repercussions is that we live in a predominately male sphere. Women are ruled by the patriarchy but we are still trying to dismantle it. 2. Woman or not, Cardi B should be held accountable for her actions. This, I think, is where we become conﬂated when it comes to our opinions on men vs. women. On the one hand, society is axiomatically convinced that any kind of punishment against women should be lenient as their actions only mimic that of men, so if men are let off with a slap on the wrist, why shouldn’t we be? On the other hand, society

is also axiomatically convinced that women should be held accountable for any and all actions as they mature faster than men and are expected to know better. My thoughts? It doesn’t matter gender, color, race or sexual identity. When you do something morally wrong, you need to be called out, you need to be “canceled,” and you need to be punished according to the law. There are no ifs, ands or buts about it. It is what it is. Cardi B has been problematic on a multitude of occasions, and these

circumstances are no different. We should not compare her to men in rap because her actions are her own and we should try her in a court of law as an individual — separate and aside from men who have done the same. People — women, speciﬁcally — have the wrong idea of feminism. They correlate Cardi B’s issue with being a “feminist.” She should be treated the same as her male counterparts and not be punished because men have not been either. While it’s true that men have not been punished for

similar situations, she still needs to be held accountable for this situation. She needs to be charged and she needs to be called out by her fans. She claimed that she did this in order to survive, but let’s be real. She was a stripper at the time, and a lot of female college students have considered dropping out of school to work as a dancer to get the kind of money they think their degree will give them. (Of course, you have to be a good dancer. Trust me, I’ve seen bad ones in Vegas.) So, essentially, she wasn’t hurting for money. She did this because she was provided the opportunity. At the end of the day, all she is is a predator. We can’t allow women to be completely dismissed when it comes to holding them accountable just because they’re women. This is not a viable argument. This is not a good argument. You want to strive for equality? We need to start here. We need to stop allowing people to poke holes in our ﬁght by saying we only want to bend the political and social sphere to adhere to our wishes accordingly. Men and women need to be on the same level, and that includes Cardi B.

Offense explodes in historic series sweep CSUN tied a school record for runs scored in a Big West conference series

TYLER WAINFELD Sports Editor

he baseball team had a historic weekend as they scored 50 runs, tied for their most ever in a Big West series, in their three-game series sweep over UC Riverside this past weekend at Matador Field. They tied the record first set against the University of Pacific in 2003, while also pulling back to .500 in conference play after being swept at Cal Poly in the conference-opening series. “When you get swept, you have to do something to get back in the race,” head coach Greg Moore said. “I think we got back in the mix. We just need to keep getting better and play good baseball in this stretch.” This series against the Highlanders started off on a high note with a 14-5 victory on Friday, giving CSUN its first conference win of 2019. Sophomore Wesley Moore got the start on the mound and earned the victory, going 5 2/3 innings and giving up seven hits and four runs while striking out four batters. Moore had the offense to thank for picking him up when he wasn’t on top of his game as they batted around the order in the first inning, plating six runs to give Moore some breathing room. The second inning was the same story as the Matadors batted around again, this time scoring four times as their lead swelled to 10 heading into the third inning. That much time on the bench while the offense is rolling can disrupt a pitcher’s rhythm on the mound, so it isn’t hard to understand why Moore may have been subpar on the day as he had to find different ways to stay ready as he waited his turn on the mound. “I told him after the game that this was the most enjoyable outing for me to watch,” coach Moore said. “He didn’t have his best stuff. He didn’t have good stuff. He battled, he didn’t try to do too much, he continued to pitch. This was one that he’ll learn a lot from.” The second game saw the Matadors break another school record, this time scoring the most runs ever in

a Big West game in Saturday’s 25-1 victory. Senior Isaiah Nunez was the starter in that game, recording eight strikeouts and giving up just five hits and one run in six innings to earn his fifth victory of the season. More impressive was that freshman Andrew Lucas finished the game on the mound, pitching a scoreless ninth in what was just his second pitching appearance on the season. “No (I wasn’t nervous),” said Lucas. “I’d been up (on the mound) before in high school and I had an outing at (Washington State), kind of got the nerves out there. I felt at home in there.”

up by 10 going into the seventh. Sophomore Blake Schriever would be called on to shut the door on what had suddenly become a high-powered Highlander offense and he answered the call, retiring three of four batters in the seventh before shutting the door in the final two innings to earn his seventh save of the season. “He’s so steady,” Moore said. “You bring him in when you need pitches made. Blake does that for us every outing.” Senior Kyle Barret was the main catalyst for the historic offensive showing throughout the weekend, getting on base in 11 of his 15 plate appearances in the three games, including a perfect 6 for 6 in the opening game on Friday, setting the table for the hitters after him to bring him home. “I was just trying to see pitches and help the guys behind me get on base,” said Barret. “It feels good to come home. I think our offense plays better at home, so that was good ... Now hopefully we can take some of that confidence into Long Beach.” Looking ahead After the series sweep, the Matadors’ record sits at 14-17 and 3-3 in Big West play, good for fifth in the conference. The sweep comes just a week after CSUN was swept at Cal Poly in their conference-opening series, something sophomore Brandon Bohning chalked up to “jitters.” “I think it was a learning experience that first weekend,” Bohning said. “Just some of the pre-game jitters affected the team a little bit. But it was good to come out here in front of the home crowd and get some wins.” With those jitters now behind them, the Matadors can look to jump up in the standings as they go on the road for a three-game series with Long Beach State from April 12-14 before another series on the road against UC Irvine from April 18-20. They will then have a midweek game at Cal Baptist on Tuesday, April 23 at 6 p.m. before finally coming home for a three-game series against Hawaii from April 26-28.

The Matador second baseman had himself quite the series in CSUN’s sweep of UC Riverside. Barret reached base in an impressive 11 of 15 plate appearances over the three games, including a perfect 6 for 6 in Friday’s game, which included a career-high four hits and three runs scored. He went on to score four runs over the next two games to push his total to seven in the series. His outstanding weekend has pushed his batting average up to .347 and on-base percentage up to .451 on the season, both good for sixth in the Big West, while his double on Friday was his conference-leading 12th of the season.
