November 22, 2016 by Joshua Adamson 154 Comments

By Josh Adamson |Staff Writer| The topic of state secession is newly relevant in the wake of Donald Trump’s electoral victory. Dubbed Calexit, these recent developments represent the latest iteration of secessionist movements that periodically arise after presidential elections. “These movements pop up from time to time,” stated Political Science Professor Scot Zentner. “The most well known in the last 20 years were some Texans demanding that their state leave the Union.” Zentner added that Calexit is partially motivated by California’s Democratic majority and sociodemographic makeup, which includes large numbers of Latin American and Asian immigrants. “People of all political … [Read more...] about Election leads to whispers of Calexit

February 9, 2016 by Archived posts 262 Comments

By Kyle Richardson | Staff Writer | President Barack Obama proposed a new rule to help create equal pay for women in the workforce, after the seven year anniversary of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.   A topic that isn’t as openly spoken about, equal pay, has always been a hot commodity in the United States history.   Today, women in the United States, on average, are paid on average 79 cents to a man’s dollar according to the Associated Press.   “As a society, we need to acknowledge that women are just as important,” said CSUSB student, Katherine Vargas, a junior.   “It’s a big deal that women are still getting paid less than men, but I think … [Read more...] about Men and women should get same pay
