"The surveillance system upgrades at SDSU resemble moves made by the City of San Diego in previous years – many of which faced significant backlash from residents around privacy issues."

@cogdog @splotted Were the #CalState decision-makers chumps/suckers for paying OpenAI, when Altman was about to make ChatGPT free for students anyway?

Or... could OpenAI make it free for all students because the Cal State system (among others) got pulled into that deal?

Chicken or egg??

So, this is happening in the 23-campus Cal State system:

"The California State University (CSU) system is pleased to announce its Artificial Intelligence Educational Innovations Challenge (AIEIC), inviting CSU faculty to develop innovative instructional strategies that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) tools. This initiative aims to enhance critical thinking skills, promote ethical AI use and integrate AI literacy into curricula."

@BikeWalkAlameda At California State University Monterey Bay some such streets are called bike boulevards too.

A bicycle on the Cal State Monterey Bay campus is momentarily stopped on the side of a “Divarty Street Bicycle Boulevard,” as a sign indicates. Additional signs say “Speed Limit 25” and no left turn.

"Shortly before the Journal went to press Sept. 3, Graham, clad in a beige baseball cap and jeans, addressed the University Senate during its public forum to report he'd received "a veiled threat of potential legal action" after sharing the access website he'd created with university administrators.

First sentence is highlighted. " Like many on campus, Graham says he simply walked by many of the problems, failing to notice missing signage, inaccessible doorways, unsafe walkways and other things because they did not directly impact him. Graham says it wasn't until the spring semester of 2023 that the issue became a priority, pushed forward by two people who addressed the University Senate, of which he was a member.

First, there was Christine DiBella, a student who'd transferred to the university in 2021, who told the senate the university lacked evacuation chairs for wheelchair users in multi-story buildings, and described "dehumanizing" situations like facing an automatic door that won't open, being unable to find an accessible bathroom or finding an accessible pathway blocked or impassible.

"It is not my responsibility to request these things," DiBella told the senate. "I am entitled to them."

Then, a few months later, Donaldson also addressed the senate, explaining that he lives with "ongoing and regressive problems" in his spine, knees, ankles and hips that are uncomfortable, inoperable and affect his mobility. Donaldson told the senate he'd faced a "culture of indifference" since arriving on campus in 2015. "

It's not just those running the University of California who are hurting disabled members of the public. The Cal State University system (CSU) has its own systemic ableism problems and abuses.

On Sept. 12, 2023, the lawsuit DiBella filed against Cal Poly Humboldt and the California State University system settled out of court, with the CSU admitting no liability and agreeing to pay $230,000 ($180,000 of which went to DiBella's

attorneys) on the condition that DiBella withdraw from school and never reapply.

"My Faculty #Union Leadership Claims a Win, But Their Compromise Eroded Our #Wages"

"CFA’s actions have generated widespread discontent among the rank and file. Members charge the leaders with betrayal for settling too quickly and easily. Most faculty had, after all, cancelled classes, rearranged lesson plans and prepared for a week of #picketing, which included standing outside in a massive storm in southern California on January 22."
