Edgar Trotter, Ph. D., vice president of Undergraduate Programs, said there is a higher retention rate of students and the dropout rate is decreasing. Due to the Obama Administration’s push for college students to obtain their degrees, universities, specifically CSUF, have been working to increase retention rates among students, resulting in a higher graduation rate.

  • Expert Says Meetings Illegal

    Thursday March 22, 2018 The Student Voice of California State University, Fullerton Volume 103 Issue 26 ASI controversy continues; Expert says meetings illegal The elections judicial council convened at least three times to hear complaints without posting agendas, which are required by ASI bylaws and California law. AMY WELLS BREANNA BELKEN KYLE BENDER Daily Titan Associated Students violated a California open meeting law over the last two weeks by failing to post agendas for three closed meetings, according to a legal expert. The Associated Students elections judicial council held meetings on March 7 at 4 p.m. and March 14 at 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. They addressed complaints filed against Celine Mou- bayed and Colin Eacobellis, Associated Students president and vice president candidates, respectively. The elections judicial council failed to post agendas for the meetings as required by the Gloria Romero Open Meetings Act, a California law regulating student governments. Apparently, it is standard practice for the elections judicial council to fail on posting agendas for its meetings. “There are no agendas for the meetings. They are pretty standard. We receive a complaint and the person that filed the complaint and the person the complaint is filed against receives an email from me letting them know that the com- plaint has been received,” said Rachel Langenfeld, Associ- ated Students election director and elections judicial council chair. Agendas for board of directors or committees meetings must disclose items to be discussed in a closed session be- forehand, according to the Associated Students’ bylaws and the Gloria Romero Act.

When Nietzsche famously declared his death toward the end of the 19th century, it seemed possible, even inevitable, that God and religion would die under the rationalist atheist onslaught. That, however, was not to be the case. Religion and “spirituality” have survived the atheist challenge, albeit profoundly changed. Although there are a number of contributing factors, the revival of the religious in the West has occurred partly as a result of the postmodernist collapse of the scientific meta-narratives that made atheism so powerful.
