- Description:
- During spring 2006 the Office of Distance and Distributed Education (DDE) surveyed students and instructors enrolled in, or teaching courses in, the distance education environment. The purpose was to cast light on how distance education at CSUS is going for students and instructors. DDE was also interested in finding out ways to improve its services. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected and analyzed at the conclusion of the spring semester. Twenty-six instructors and 1,139 students completed the surveys.

- Description:
- Some have argued that the ballot initiative process prevalent in many American states might lower inequality. We contend this is improbable based on what is known about whether expansion of democracy leads to redistribution, the attitudes of citizens, and the characteristics of the initiative process. Nevertheless, the proposition needs testing. We examine three types of evidence. First, we analyze the content and passage of all post-World War II initiatives going to voters in California, a state that makes heavy use of ballot propositions. Second, we model institutional factors influencing differences in inequality at the state-level from 1976–2014 to test the aggregate-level effect of ballot initiatives on income inequality. Third, we use individual level data to evaluate the claim that frequent initiative use makes lower income people happier because it helps to reduce inequality. Our analyses consistently indicate that the ballot initiative process fails to reduce income inequality.

- Description:
- This report examines the academic needs and challenges of Hmong students at Sacramento State. It explores the students’ experiences, using both numeric and narrative data, and then considers institutional changes that will better support their academic development. This report provides implications for educators and policymakers, including academic institutions that serve large numbers of frst-generation Hmong students whose parent did not complete a four-year college degree. The report gives Sacramento State an insight into the experiences of the 1,000+ Hmong students it serves. The goal is to begin a rich conversation that will identify comprehensive policies and innovative practices that will increase the college completion rate among Hmong students.
