    At least 4 arrested in California pro and anti-Trump rallies
    BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) — At least four people were arrested after violence broke out Saturday between groups of supporters and detractors of President Donald Trump holding rallies in downtown Berkeley.
    About 200 people were at Berkeley’s Martin Luther King Jr. Civic Center Park when several fights broke out. Dozens of police officers in riot gear standing nearby quickly arrested one man. Others were arrested after several skirmishes.

    Failing marks for college tuition tax
    College affordability is a serious problem, especially here in California, but proposals by Democratic state lawmakers are misguided, and may even make things worse.
    Costs have escalated rapidly, and the University of California and California State University systems are looking to hike tuition again after a five-year freeze. Total U.S. student loan debt has grown to more than $1.3 trillion, surpassing auto loan debt ($1.2 trillion) and credit card debt ($779 billion), and trailing only mortgag

    Tackling college student homelessness and housing insecurity
    Homeless. This is not a word that most of us would associate with college students. Yet, a silent epidemic of student homelessness has spread throughout our public colleges.

Additionally, one in four UC students are having to choose between payin

    More sleight of hand with gas tax hikes
    If Gov. Brown and members of the California Legislature think that the backlash against the car and gas tax increases will subside any time soon, they are mistaken. The controversy continues to dominate both traditional and social media and, in fact, the more that taxpayers learn about these transportation tax hikes the angrier they get.
