Also the continuing aftershocks of the murder of a social worker at SFGH.
Also we just won a PERB case on how SFGH manages ER diversion.
On top of the national/international horror show. It's too much to process at once and my body shut it down.

In 2020 we took 3400 workers on strike at Alameda Health System in part over demands on the County to change the governance. This week we finally won with the AlCo Board of Supervisors voting to make themselves the governing board.
Also AHS is threatening 300 layoffs because of medicaid cuts.

I'm so sorry. I think it is worth exploring whether students may have a legitimate law suit or even a class action against CCA. I am happy to provide documentation about the financial hijinks. Such as: www.bestcolleges.com/news/judge-a...

Love and solidarity to the committed artists, staff & faculty who struck for 4 days in 2022 to save CCA from itself and were ignored by very smart rich people who knew better and will surely go on making six figure salaries and swanning about art openings forever. www.kqed.org/arts/1398541...

What all this meant is that these schools bet everything on new buildings attracting new students, which meant that even small dips enrollment led to their budgets being swallowed by debt service and became existential threats quickly. This is from 2022:

It would be cynical to say that higher ed is a ponzi scheme that uses student debt to pay off real estate speculators, with educational functions attached for tax purposes. Cynical, but also true as far as I can tell.

Critically, the terms of the loans required CCA to maintain certain tuition targets. In this way, institutional debt creates student debt.

When CCA decided to close Oakland and consolidate in San Francisco, the Board took care of themselves. Multiple board members bought property around the new site and sold it or rented it back to the school at a profit.

CCA, like SFAI, NDNU, and Holy Names took on a ton of real estate debt. They diverted capital funds to cover operations. The debt had bad terms but the banks didn't care because the collateral was the land--either they got the debt paid back at high rates or they even more $ in pricey real estate.
