Volunteers shone brightly in the final week of the One Purpose campaign — an annual effort to raise scholarship dollars for students. In the sixth week of the campaign, volunteers reported more than $185,000 in pledges of support, making it the most successful of the six-week fund drive. In its second year, One Purpose volunteers generated more than $400,000.

 

Evolving federal requirements have changed the way that universities address sexual violence. More resources are being directed toward anti-violence education, victim support and “see something, say something” training. Reporting requirements have changed as well.

At Stanislaus State, the number of sexual assaults rose from two in 2013 to seven in 2014, according to the University’s annual Campus Security Report, which was released Oct. 1.

Amy Laitinen admits she was surprised when she saw the results of her statistical methodology for the first time.

A former White House and Department of Education advisor, Laitinen was asked in September by National Public Radio to come up with a ranking system for the nation’s universities.

She responded with a formula that measured upward mobility, and when NPR’s computers crunched the numbers, the top five schools on the list were Harvard, MIT, Stanford, UC Irvine … and California State University, Stanislaus.
