CSUEB online program By Louis LaVenture SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR
More than 15 years after its inception, the Cal State East Bay online program nabbed some national rankings. In August, the website BestSchools.com ranked CSUEB the third best online college in California. According to the website the criteria for a school making the list include: being an accredited school, offering at least one fully online bachelor’s program, non-profit and the schools disclose all curriculum and tuition information. In May, the website rated the online hospitality management program at CSUEB the seventh best in the country. Melany Spielman, chair of the Department of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism at CSUEB, developed the program. Brandman University and California Baptist University ranked ahead of CSUEB on the list. Fellow CSU’s Chico and Dominguez Hills also ranked on the list at four and seven respectively. The website credited CSUEB’s rapid growth in recent years and future plans that include converting all online courses to the semester system as the primary reasons for their spot on the list. Many if not all of the current courses will have to be redesigned by faculty to meet the semester conversion requirements, which is a lot of work, according to Wen. “Over the past five
years our online enrollment has increased dramatically,” Roger Wen, Director of the CSUEB online campus said. “If you take a look at the other schools in the CSU system we are near the top in how many programs and options we offer.” CSUEB currently offers five online bachelor’s degree programs in hospitality and tourism, business ad minist ration, ethnic
studies, human development and recreation. The other four programs offered are master’s programs in education, educational leadership, health care administration and recreation and tourism in addition to several options within those programs. Stephen Andrews, the Marketing Manager for the College of Business and Economics at CSUEB told BestSchools.
among best in California com that graduations from the program have doubled in the online hospitality management program and is hopeful more growth will happen once new options are added. CSUEB has already offered an online accounting option for fall but is unclear when the other two options for marketing and human resources would be available. Vish Hegdee is a CSUEB professor in the Department of Management for the College of Business and Economics and also instructs several online courses. “The in class experience is mainly defined by the interaction of the people in the class,” Hegdee said. “Collaborative activities and detailed discussion boards help create an environment where we know each other and a feeling that they are there in the classroom together. Discussions and interactions are the biggest part of classes that I try to do in the online classes as well.” According to Wen, all online programs are overseen by the chair of the department however, some departments have named online learning coordinators who go into all of the classes and checks to make sure they meet the criteria for an online course, in addition to several other duties. Wen is hopeful that the online experience can replicate the in-person experience as much as possible and be innovative in order to achieve that goal.
“Engagement between students and faculty is important in online classes,” Wen commented. During in-person classes, students can raise their hand and have their questions answered instantly. Wen says that they’re trying to create a similar experience through the online program. “We use tools that will provide a face to face interaction with the instructor online through video and streaming. Say students have a presentation or a project, they can utilize a tool to collaborate and upload videos and increase engagement with fellow students and staff that can provide an experience that is close the real thing,” he said. Wen also acknowledged that many CSUEB students work and the online course selection gives those students the opportunity to take classes their schedule would not allow them to. He also debunked the myth that online classes will help students graduate faster as he noted that the courses still take the same amount of time to complete as the in-person versions. “If it weren’t for online classes I would still be a freshman,” Environmental Science major Jessica Michel Ramirez said. “I have a son and I have to be free by a certain time to pick him up. This limits the time I have to take classes. But with online courses, I can login whenever I want and get to work. Some of my best work has come late at night when my son is sleeping, ” Ramirez added. This fall quarter there will be 21 undergraduate and 10 graduate courses offered to CSUEB’s online degree students.
San Diego businessman Floyd Kephart addressed a small crowd on Aug. 25 at Lungomare restaurant in Jack London Square in Oakland where he said the new stadium deal for the Oakland Raiders had a “50-50” chance of being finalized. While the report by Kephart and his company New City Development LLC is private until city, county and team officials go over the details this week, he did note two major changes. Kephart acknowledged that one of the most controversial parts of the original deal, a 20 percent sale of the team to New City Development LLC, had been removed from the updated plans. Kephart also acknowledged that upwards of $80 million for parking garages originally assigned to the Raiders to fund would be folded into the overall budget of the project taking the silver and black off the hook for those costs in the updated proposal. “We have done what we have been asked to do,” Kephart said. “The rest is up to them.” The updated proposal includes 380,000 square feet of retail space, 3,500 housing units and separate facilities for the A’s, Raiders and Warriors, which would be owned by the individual teams. However, A’s owner Lew Wolff has already said he would not be interested in a new stadium next to a football stadium and the 2015 world champion Warriors already have firm plans to move to San Francisco by 2019. The city of Oakland and Alameda County now have to negotiate with each other and then the Raiders to figure out how to fund a $400 million gap in the $900 million project. However, that might be easier said than done since noticeably absent from the address were any officials involved in the deal from the city, county or team. Earlier this month Alameda County pulled out of the deal giving city officials exclusive rights to any stadium development project. The county co-owns the 120 acres adjacent to O.co Coliseum which need to be purchased in order to begin development. The conduit bond primarily gets its support from revenue generated by the stadium and the surrounding development,” Kephart said. “This should offset much of the cost. We have proposed that much of that come from a conduit bond that is supported by revenues from the stadium and revenue from the commercial development that will take place in coliseum city.” The lone official who attended the public meeting was Oakland City Councilmember Larry Reid. “I want to see a plan to keep the team that does not use a lot of public money,” Reid said. The city and the county are still on the hook for nearly $100 million in renovations to O.co Coliseum when the team returned from Los Angeles in 1995. Kephart met his deadline for his project proposal and city and county officials are scheduled to review it this week before making any formal announcements. “It’s their loss, not mine,” Kephart said.

THE PIONEER
A journey worth taking
Pioneer copy editor bids farewell to CSUEB BY ANDRÉA DUPRÉE It took me 12 years, six months and 13 days to finish college. I’ve been taking college courses since I was 19 and my daughter was 9-months-old. It was incredibly difficult to juggle all of my responsibilities: I had a baby, a full-time school schedule and a 30-hours-per-week work schedule. Sometimes my school load would become too much and I would drop a class or two, or all of them. Sometimes I worked too many hours, or couldn’t work enough hours. Other times I waited eagerly for my unemployment check to arrive. I worked for Old Navy, UPS, Nike, Macy’s, Target, FedEx, temp agencies and law firms. I’ve done side jobs to make ends meet. I had to do what I thought was best for my daughter, so I worked as much as I could and sometimes didn’t go to class so I could work extra hours. As a teen mom, I mostly turned my friends down when they wanted to go out and party. I dropped a class here and there when I was too exhausted to spend time with my daughter. While I was in college, my daughter came first, work was second, and school was last. The thought always crossed my mind to quit school entirely. I had great jobs with great benefits. I would think to myself, “All we need is a secure future. Do I really need to finish school? The cost is too high.” Then I would look at my daughter and know I couldn’t just give up. It was important to show her -- and myself -- that a person should finish what they start. It did not matter how real the struggle was. Struggles never stop being real even when you think your life is going smoothly. But this June, I finally walked across the stage to receive my bachelor’s degree in communication from Cal State East Bay. After being in school for what felt like an eternity, I told myself that I was over graduation and did not need to participate in commencement. In addition to CSUEB, I had attended Merritt College in Oakland, Heald College in Hayward, and Saint Mary’s College in Moraga in an effort to get all the classes I needed. I had incurred so much student debt, that I convinced myself not to spend $84 on a cap and gown. My mother, after hearing my “I don’t wanna” rant, pursed her lips and stayed quiet. My grandmother bashed me on Facebook and told me I better participate. A week before commencement, my Dad said, “Hey, how come we haven’t heard any dates or information about graduation?” He must have not heard my rant to Mom.

When I gave him the same spiel, he was not at all quiet about it. “That’s not fair. You don’t feel like you need to complete this part of your life? Your daughter needs to see you graduate, we need to see you graduate. YOU need to see you graduate.” Then my dad handed me the 84 clams I needed to purchase my cap and gown. A week before graduation, I picked up my cap, gown, my red stole of gratitude, tickets, parking passes, and graduation announcements. I bought vittles from Michael’s Craft Store to decorate my cap. Dr. Gale Young, the outgoing chair of the communications department, gave me a cord in red and gold, the colors of the department. On the day of graduation, it was a blast of snapchats, selfies, solo cups and screams of excitement. That is until I saw my mom standing in the middle of the crosswalk by the gym with her arms
outstretched waiting for her hug. It was waterworks from both of us. For a long time I admonished myself for the time it has taken me to finish school. So many nights I stayed awake looking at my daughter sleeping and plagued with shoulda coulda wouldas. She’s been my little soldier through all of these trials and experiences and she is one of the only reasons I did not just quit. Sure it took me a long and winding road to get here, but I can’t help but feel East Bay is where I belonged. At every pit stop in my life I have met exceptional people and encountered extraordinary things. In fact, it was courses taken at CSUEB that caused me to question whether or not I still wanted to go back into law. It is bittersweet to begin my new job this week as a legal secretary for a firm in downtown San Francisco. I have been copy editor for the Pioneer Newspaper
for the last two years and do not like the finality of stepping down. While it is goodbye to my home and homies at The Pioneer, this week marks the beginning of my actual career path. I’ve held positions in a law office before, but there is something that feels more complete about this move. It feels good to be back into the area of my first love: the law. Legal secretaries, legal assistants and paralegals are often the unsung heroes in the field, but that doesn’t make the work any less enjoyable or fulfilling for me. Call me crazy, but I love working under pressure and being forced to think on my toes. I’m glad my father talked some sense into me. After trying to finish school for so long, I had lost sight of the importance of celebrating victories. As a single mother, graduating college is definitely a victory.

State agencies vulnerable to technology breach By Louis LaVenture SPORTS AND CAMPUS EDITOR Just because it boasts Silicon Valley, it turns out the state of California isn’t as technologically advanced as we thought. An Aug. 25 report released by the California State Auditor found that as many as 73 state government agencies are not in full compliance with the information technology standards and it leaves them vulnerable to a breach. According to the report, the noncompliance could lead to sensitive information being accessed like Social Security numbers, income tax information as well as healthcare information. The offending agencies were not named specifically in fear that the announcement could spark a potential attack, which is common protocol for the agency on protecting their systems. The Bay Area Council is a public policy advocacy organization and according to Rufus Jeffris, Vice President of Communications, “Implementation of the state’s technology platform has come under criticism recently.” Jeffris said that while his organization does advocate for cyber security, they are not experts on the topic and the standards set by the state are the determining factor in how the corrections are implemented and collected. The audit focused on five specific agencies, which were not named but all were found not to be in full compliance with the technology standards. Auditor Elaine M. Howle also issued a survey to 77 state agencies in which 73 responded and indicated that they had not achieved full compliance with information security standards. 22 respondents stated that they did not expect to reach full compliance with the infor-
mation security standards until 2018 or later and 13 more indicated they would be out of compliance until at least 2020, according to the report. “The California Department of Technology (technology department) is responsible for ensuring that state entities that are under the direct authority of the governor maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of their information systems and protect the privacy of the State’s information,” according to the report by Howle. She also noted that Chapter 5300 of the State Administrative Manual, which is specific in regards to the security standards, and require government agencies to use programs that ensure electronic information and technology is kept private. Further, Howle said in the audit that most of the offending agencies did not even know they were out of compliance until the time of the inquiry. According to the 2014 Federal Information Security Modernization Act, there are three security objectives for information and information systems that must be adhered to by all state agencies: “Confidentiality: Preserving authorized restrictions to protect personal privacy and proprietary information. Integrity: Guarding against improper modification or destruction. Availability: Ensuring timely and reliable access.” John Hunt is the Public Sector Principal at PricewaterhouseCoopers professional service firm, which has three Bay Area offices. Hunt said that most entities deal with cyber security through their technology team, but this is a mistake. According to Hunt, cyber security needs to be addressed at all levels of an organization to ensure privacy. According to Howle’s report, there will be several new deadlines put in
place for these agencies, which they will be required to show how they are making steps toward compliance. The first of those dates is set for the end of this year. The report also gave several detailed accounts of what the violating entities need to do to be compliant with the standards. The cyber breach and leak trend has been on the rise and earlier this year hackers released emails from Sony executives as well as other documents from the business. Most recently the website Ashley Madison had its information breached where hackers posted all of the members information on several public websites.

Is CSUEB earthquakE safety by Louis LaVenture, Sports and Campus Editor Two 4.0 magnitude earthquakes shook the Hayward Fault Line in the last month, the first in Fremont and the latter in Piedmont. The 2.4 magnitude aftershock followed the first quake less than an hour later. Reports rolled in of items falling off of shelves, but no major damage was reported. The second quake hit on a hot, still day, similar to the 1989 Loma Prieta quake. These recent incidents have once again brought earthquake safety to the forefront for a Bay Area community that has been told repeatedly that another big one is sure to hit. It’s of particular concern to many students at Cal State East Bay, a campus situated in close proximity to the Hayward Fault that is not adequately prepared for a major earthquake of magnitude 5 or above. “To say that these earthquakes don’t mean anything is just not true,” CSUEB Geology professor Luther Strayer said. “While it isn’t necessarily a warning to a bigger earthquake, the movement still creates issues. Put your palms together and move them back and forth. The
grooves in your hand get caught on each other and create friction, they don’t just slide freely. This is what happens when the rubbing of surfaces occurs. The bumps and surfaces have texture, they aren’t flat like mirrors so when they slide it creates the movement.” According to the CSU Seismic Review Board, CSUEB’s Meiklejohn Hall is the least safe building in the entire 23-campus system in the event of a major earthquake. Meiklejohn was number two on the list up until Aug. 17, 2013 when the number one building on the list was demolished, CSUEB’s Warren Hall. Both buildings were originally constructed less than one mile from the Hayward Fault, which according to Strayer and the United States Geological Survey is nearly due to produce a major earthquake in keeping with its average of every 140-150 years. The last quake on the Hayward Fault was a 6.8 magnitude that occurred 147 years ago on Oct. 21, 1868.
It’s a CSU-wide problem In total, 28 CSU buildings could potentially collapse and 38 more would potentially risk lives in the event of a major earthquake, according to a list released by the CSU earlier this year. CSU policy does not require the least safe buildings to be addressed for earthquake safety first. A panel of CSU officials decide the process and priority, however at the time of publication CSU had not confirmed how those officials are selected. Despite ranking number one on the list of the least safe buildings, Meiklejohn Hall was not even ranked on the list of buildings to be retrofitted or demolished released by CSU officials in 2013. In March the USGS updated its California earthquake forecast, which included the likelihood of an earthquake of 8.0 magnitude or more in California rising from 4.7 percent to seven percent. “Previously we be-
lieved that faults acted on their own,” USGS Ned Field said. “We now know that activity on a fault can cause other faults to rupture. This information is why the likelihood rose so much.” Field referred to the possibility of a quake on one fault triggering other faults to go off as well or the potential of multiple earthquakes going off at the same time. “ShakeAlert” warning systems can help The USGS gave nearly $4 million on July 30 to the California Institute of Technology, UC Berkeley, the University of Washington and the University of Oregon for the production of “ShakeAlert”. “ShakeAlert” is an earthquake early warning system, which is designed to give people as much notice as possible of an earthquake through several mediums, specifically cell phones. The organization was granted $5 million earlier this year after making an appeal to Congress that was approved. If successful, the pilot program could spread to other local colleges where earthquake
safety is a primary issue like CSUEB. “ShakeAlert has the potential to save many lives,” Susan Garcia, USGS Earthquake Science Center representative said. “The warning system is designed to be faster than the seismic waves created by earthquakes. If a warning could reach the public in fault areas before the shaking begins, potentially thousands of people could be saved.” CSUEB has an earthquake preparedness website with a video from 2009 but the link to Emergency Preparedness Information is temporarily unavailable. The school has an Emergency Operations Plan on its website that was revised in Sep. 2010. The 37-page document details the plan of action in the event of an emergency for the campus and surrounding community. “I am old enough to remember the 1989 earthquake so I know how scary it can be,”
CSUEB student Eric Nieves said. “I didn’t realize how close we are to the fault, I hope I’m not here when it happens.” CSUEB’s Earth movement and Hayward Fault expert Strayer was instrumental in studying the Warren Hall demolition and the ripples the demolition created seismically. Strayer used seismic sensors to capture the waves and helped the USGS create a three-dimensional map of the Hayward Fault. The demolition was large enough to register on the machines used by Strayer. “I can’t say they mean nothing,” Strayer said. “Small earthquakes lead to stress in a small area. For example, if you are in a crowd of people and you push all the people away, you feel better but how does everybody else feel? Small slips that occur put more and more load on the other parts holding on to the bumps and shapes on fault surfaces.” Earthquake safety, a priority According to the San Francisco Exploratori-
um, the taller a structure is the more flexible it is and the less energy is required to keep it from toppling during a seismic event. They further explain that because shorter buildings are stiffer than taller ones, a three-story apartment house is considered more vulnerable to earthquake damage than a 30-story building. For buildings in fault zones, extra considerations must be taken into account when designing a building that is able to withstand a major earthquake. Materials such as wood and steel are preferred in fault zones because they have more give in a seismic event than stucco, concrete or masonry would, according to Garcia. Jeff Bailey works for Bay Area Retrofit which was founded by Howard Cook in 1994 following the 6.7 magnitude earthquake centered in Northridge. Bailey said a lot of older buildings were constructed before many of the new codes around
earthquake safety were put into place. “An earthquake safe building means the structure can resist the force without too much damage,” Bailey said. “A certain ground acceleration measured as a g-force is what really affects structures. The new building codes tells us what we need to do in order to make structures withstand the force.” One of the biggest ways to make buildings earthquake safe is to install base isolators, which isolate the base of the building from the earth’s movements which can be done two different ways. The first is by putting two smooth surfaces on top of one another under the building which will allow the surfaces to slide under the structure. The other way is by putting two structures on top of one another under the building that absorb each others energy and rock until the energy has passed through. “We can’t guarantee there will be no damage,” Bailey said. “However constructing under the new codes can help. Look at the recent earthquakes in Japan. The new structures that followed the new code

weren’t nearly as damaged as those old building that weren’t up to code.� The most visible way that building designers are addressing the problem is by installing a truss. A truss is a wide base added to the top of the building that narrows and comes to a point, which according to the Association of Bay Area Governments, are designed to increase a building’s stability. The Transamerica Pyramid Center in San Francisco is one of the most visible examples of this technology in the Bay Area. “The technology and the knowledge of how to construct buildings that can withstand an earthquake has come a long way,� Field said. “We now know how to make buildings safer, but no building could ever be considered earthquake proof, at least not now.�

Men’s soccer team remains undefeated By Jayakrishna Dasappan CONTRIBUTOR The Cal State East Bay men’s soccer team defeated the Holy Names University Hawks 5-0 on Aug. 22. This past Saturday they had their rematch and it was payback time for the Hawks. From the beginning of the match it seemed like the Hawks had revenge in mind. The previous defeat pumped them up and it was evident as they took the lead 30 minutes into the match 1-0. However, the Pioneers managed to put a damper on the enthusiasm of Holy Names and bounced back to win the match 2-1. “Despite the fact that the majority of our team are first year players, our goal is to be competing in the CCAA playoffs this year,” CSUEB Head Coach Andy Cumbo said. Just after the Pioneers started to regain control of the match, there was a minor setback. International student and junior defender Steffan Sauer suffered a sprained ankle after one of the Hawks stepped on his leg. The injury kept him out for the rest of the game. The first half ended with the Hawks out in front 1-0, however the Pioneers created more chances to score in the
second half. Holy Names forward Dominic Calderon drew a yellow card at the 75 minute mark which earned the Pioneers a free kick they capitalized on to tie the game at 1-1. It was CSUEB sophomore midfielder Christian Gonzalez who took the free kick and freshman defender, Brett Fuchs managed to convert the assist into a goal that put smiles on the faces of his teammates. The Pioneers were not finished yet, within the next minute another opportunity to score was created by CSUEB sophomore forward Jeremy Romero. Romero passed the ball to freshman midfielder Marco Neves who made full use of the pass as he put it past the goalkeeper that gave the Pioneers a 2-1 lead. During the final moments of the game, Hawks forward Dominic Calderon attempted to kick a ball already secured by the CSUEB goalkeeper. The play forced the referee to hand Calderon his second yellow card of the match and ejected him from the contest. “It is good to see my team start off strong with two victories in a row,” former Pioneer Christian Lara said. The Pioneers take on Dominican University at 7 p.m. on Sept. 3 at Pioneer Stadium in the first game of the regular season.
“Despite the fact that the majority of our team are first year players, our goal is to be competing in the CCAA playoffs this year.”

Raiders From Page 1 Chargers has begun to move forward and could be the potential landing spot for the franchise if a deal does not get done in Oakland.
San Antonio has also been mentioned as a destination and the city has even offered their city as a temporary home for the Raiders until they can figure out a permanent plan. An online petition created on www. change.org to keep the Raiders in Oakland has received over 10,000 signatures and has been submitted to team officials
and specifically owner Mark Davis. “The Oakland Raiders are more than just a team to us but an integral part of our lives and culture,” the petition stated. “This is a grassroots movement to fight and show the City of Oakland, Mark Davis, the NFL and the rest of the world that we want to fight to keep our beloved Raiders in Oakland.”
