  • Inequality for All Media Landscape Report Introduction
    REPORT DECEMBER 18, 2015 Inequality For All Media Landscape Report Introduction Income inequality has recently been gaining recognition as one of the most pressing issues in America. However, it is a complex social problem that stems from a wide swath of interconnected economic, social, and historical factors and can be difficult for the average person to engage with meaningfully. Inequality for All is a documentary and social change campaign that seeks to change this. Drawing on the expertise of former US Secretary of Labor Robert Reich, the 2013 film draws on a combination of relatable stories, accessible statistics, and a charismatic main character to advance the audience’s knowledge of what income inequality really means for current and future American citizens. The Harmony Institute (HI) is a nonprofit research organization that uses quantitative and qualitative forms of measurement to understand how stories drive social change. In 2013, we collaborated with the creators of Inequality for All to design an impact evaluation plan that would measure social change around the issue of income inequality during the lifetime of the film and campaign, because film stakeholders were interested in capturing the state of public discourse around income inequality prior to the film’s release, we looked to four key data sources: public opinion polls, social media conversation, press coverage, and political discussion. In each area, we selected data points that could serve as baselines for comparison. In this report, we provide new analysis to illustrate shifts in conversation. While it is very difficult to make specific causal claims about the direct impact of any one piece of media on a large social issue, we found substantial evidence of a changing tide around income inequality in America during the lifetime of Inequality for All.

    Tiger News October Edition. 2018 The Rise of Clubs CMIT Staff Writer Gabriella Takang Clubs have been around for a long time. It’s been very beneficial to most students. It allows them to explore their interest before applying to colleges. Clubs could also be a good way to release any tension that might’ve been caused during the school day. This would give them the chance to escape all of that. Many clubs have been added throughout the years but most aren’t recognized enough. Most people don’t know that a certain club exists. I think that it’s important that each is recognized for what they’re involved/what they focus on. An example of gaining recognition would be placing flyers around the Exclusive school that provides helpful information. Another way information could be passed around is if a Teacher of the representative from each club talks to the students during lunch. This would allow the Month! Page 3 students to clear up and confusion they have about the clubs. I think that the most efficient way to get clubs noticed is to do something similar to what colleges do at college fairs. This Political would give each club the opportunity to showcase what it is that they focus on. An Controversy experience like this would allow clubs to advertise and convince people to join them. An orientation could also be a beneficial way for clubs to gain recognition. Pages 6-7 Besides clubs getting noticed, I think that there aren’t enough club choices.

  • How Outsourcing at the University of California Adds to the Ranks of California's Working Poor
    WORKINGWORKING ININ THETHE SHADOWSSHADOWS HOW OUTSOURCING AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA ADDS TO THE RANKS OF CALIFORNIA’S WORKING POOR “I am here to remind [the University] of their commitment to giving back to the community. There is a constant trend of the University completely forgetting the commitment for why this educational system was made. I study global poverty and practice. I study the infrastructures that create poverty in our society. And I turn around, and see the institution that I am studying from is itself complicit… in creating poverty and keeping people down.” — Marium Navid, Student, University of California, Berkeley & External Affairs Vice President, Associated Students of the University of California In an effort to protect the identities of several UC subcontractors fearful of possible retaliation from either their employer or UC administrators for telling their story, we use some fictional names in quotation marks and withhold the names of private contractors. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY n the wake of the Great Recession, the issues of rising poverty and income inequality have been “…without a dramatic policy shift, the only thing likely a recurring subject of academic study and debate to expand faster than UC campuses is the number of Iamongst policymakers. contingent workers at UC living in poverty.” Existing research tells us that a key driver of this structural change in our economy is the replacement of permanent, career workers with “temporary,” “contingent,” or “subcontracted” workers retained revelation in light of the University’s historical through staffing agencies or private contractors.
