Dunno why Adam thought drivers can read these signs but anyway…lost keys

Hello all,

My name is Victor Lopatyuk and I am the data department head for Cal Poly Racing (CPR). Recently, we got approval from Cal Poly administration to reach out to and include students from other universities/colleges into our Cal Poly Racing teams. There are three types of racing we do at CPR: Formula Combustion, Formula Electric, and Baja. Each team has their own set of dedicated engineers, data scientists, and business team members. We have a spot for any major and are happy to teach brand new engineering, business, or data related skills for those who are just starting. Specific examples include: Learning to work with 3D modeling software like SolidWorks and CAD, Using software language and programs like R, Python, and company specific methods to build programs that have real world applications, and more hands-on tasks such as metal part manufacturing and carbon fiber production. I have personally made a large number of connections through CPR for jobs upon graduation. CPR submits the resume's of official team members to all of our sponsors, which include but are not limited to companies like Tesla, SolidWorks, Northrop Grumman, and Lucid Motors.

Daily/bi-weekly in-person work is required for most, but not all positions. CPR will take anywhere from a couple of hours a week up to 10 hours a week based on the position you want to fill and how dedicated you would want to be.

If you are interested in anything mentioned reach out to me via PM. I would ideally like to post this within the Cuesta discord as well and if anyone has the invite link for that and is willing to share it, please send it over. Thanks for reading and good luck with your studies!

I am in need of relatively cheap housing. Have been checking out forums but any other recommendations are welcome. Would be willing to room with someone. Appreciate any tips or advice.

Has anyone taken physiology and micro at the same time? is it manageable?

I'm a Cuesta student, and one of my friends who's taking online classes at Cuesta is in a tough situation. She was recently kicked out of her home and urgently needs a place to stay. I reached out to a few services, but am running out of options. If anyone has any suggestions or possible options (ideally other than the homeless shelter), it would be very much appreciated. Thank you so much.

Many students are experiencing financial challenges arising from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Hey everyone, I am an FTVE major, I am planning on transferring to CSULB next fall. To do this, I need to take a bunch of classes.

They are all online classes. Just want to know if this is too much.

Thanks!

Is anyone having trouble ordering transcripts? Looks like the page has been down since Friday?

I’m currently enrolled in AGB 202, it’s a fully online course but the meeting time still says TBA. Just wondering if this is normal for online classes and I won’t see the meeting time until the first day of classes? I just need to know so I can find a job and make a schedule that doesn’t conflict.

Is there a discord for cuesta students???

what is marine science? I'm interested in marine biology but the only option I see at Cal poly is a marine science degree.

Hello!

I am thinking of doing two years of community college at Cuesta, and am trying to connect with other possible students. However, I am having a hard time. I'm trying to find possible roommates and stuff like that. Does anyone know if there's a specific Facebook or Instagram page for students? I have tried to look stuff up and haven't really found anything.
Thank you!!

I transferred this fall (last enrolled in the spring) and stupidly used my Cuesta email as a login for some important accounts. I've been able to transfer most of those accounts to a new email but was also hoping to bide myself some more time in case I forgot anything. Does anyone know how long we have access to our emails once we are no longer enrolled? (I still have some money on my Cuesta account due to dropped classes - not sure if this will make a difference/keep the email active)?

Cuesta College board president urged to resign after ‘undeniably racist’ Facebook posts

BY MACKENZIE SHUMAN

NOVEMBER 03, 2020 10:19 AM

The president of the Cuesta College board of trustees has come under fire on social media as Facebook

posts described by community members and students as racist, homophobic and misogynistic

resurfaced online.

Community members say Peter Sysak, an elected member of the board since 2014 and Cuesta College’s

former police chief and public safety director, may have violated the board’s code of ethics and

standards of practice due to his Facebook posts.

Sysak’s posts, which have been deleted, were posted to his personal Facebook page, on which he

identifies himself a trustee for the board’s fourth district, which covers the southern half of San Luis

Obispo County. The community college has three campuses in the county.

“We are taking ethnic studies and queer studies classes to be anti-racist and inclusive, while the people

(elected to our college’s board) are undeniably racist, homophobic, ablest, anti-choice, xenophobic,

misogynistic and anti-immigrant,” Cuesta College psychology student Ariel Peraza wrote in a Facebook

message to The Tribune on Monday. “Those things further inflict a harmful stereotype on already

marginalized groups that interferes with how we function and our futures.”

Sysak did not return requests for comment at the time of publication.

In an emailed statement to The Tribune, Cuesta College’s Office of the Superintendent and President

wrote that “The board of trustees reaffirmed Cuesta College’s mission statement on June 5, 2019,”

which outlines how the college is an “inclusive institution that inspires a diverse student population to

achieve their educational goals.”

Screenshots of Sysak’s Facebook posts detail dozens of political commentary memes shared by the

board president over the past couple of years.

“We live in a society where homosexuals lecture us on morals, transvestites lecture us on human

biology, baby killers lecture us on human rights and socialists lecture us on economics,” read one post

originally shared on Facebook by Occupy Snowflakes and reshared by Sysak on March 2.

Another Facebook post, originally shared by Andre Lamar and reposted by Sysak on Feb. 17, said “I live

in N. California, & completely disagree with a sanctuary state,” insinuating that undocumented people in

California should be deported. There are an estimated 9,000 undocumented workers living in San Luis

Obispo County, according to SLO County Undocusupport.

Other posts reshared by Sysak suggest that he believes transgender people are mentally ill, that he

believes people who have had abortions don’t deserve to have opinions on human rights and that he

supports the Proud Boys — a far-right and male-only group that has engaged in political violence in the

United States, according to USA Today.

“After Trump’s last SCOTUS nominee threw me on the bed Trump’s new SCOTUS nominee came in and

held me down,” read one meme originally posted by Nick Adams and shared by Sysak on Sept. 29. The post featured a picture of Christine Blasey Ford, a woman who alleges President Donald Trump’s U.S.

Supreme Court nominee, Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh, sexually assaulted her when they were in

high school together.

In another post on Sept. 29, Sysak shared a meme by Lou Nesta decrying the Black Lives Matter

movement and said, “We don’t have a Police problem. We have a disrespectful criminal THUG

PROBLEM!”

Cuesta College chemistry teacher Greg Baxley said he is “deeply concerned” about Sysak’s Facebook

posts. Baxley is an executive member of the Cuesta College Federation of Teachers, which he said has

not yet taken a position regarding Sysak’s posts.

“We are proud to support people with different political opinions across the college, but those political

opinions should not venture into insulting those who are not like us,” Baxley said.

It goes beyond just one person’s opinion on a social media page, Baxley said. Because Sysak is an elected

member of a board that makes decisions for the college, Sysak holds a position of power and influence,

he added.

“If a student saw his posts that were so disparaging and so derogatory — about Black Lives Matter, or

suggesting violence in the classroom to prove the existence of God, or insulting people of the Muslim

faith; ridiculing people who are LGBTQ — how would students view that?” Baxley asked. “If they saw

that when they come to our institution, would they still have faith in their education?”

CUESTA COLLEGE BOARD TABLES VOTE ON ANTI-RACISM RESOLUTION

In addition to Sysak’s Facebook posts, Peraza, Baxley and others are raising concerns over the board’s

decision to table a vote on an equity and anti-racism resolution to its next board meeting on Nov. 4.

The resolution is one of many steps the community college is taking to “actively strategize and take

action against structural racism” as part of a call to action from California Community Colleges

Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley, according to the board’s website. The chancellor’s announcement was

made on June 3, nearly five months ago.

In a Sept. 2 meeting, the college’s board discussed the resolution, with the second paragraph receiving

the most argument from board members Sysak and Angela Mitchell, who has been on the board since

2000 and is stepping down this December.

The second paragraph of the resolution reads, “Noting with Deep Concern the systematic racism, acts of

discrimination, and hate crimes experienced by Black Americans and people of color that results in social

and economic barriers to success.”

Board members acknowledged that “systematic” was a typo, intended to read “systemic.” Both Sysak

and Mitchell requested that the word “systemic” be removed before the word “racism.”

“The board really showcased a lack of understanding of the current political climate by acting the way

they did on Sept. 2,” Cuesta College political science student Javier Ortiz said. “And then tabling the

issue for the October meeting was a big deal. It was just kind of a slap in the face and felt like, ‘Why

couldn’t this be a top priority?’ ”

An updated resolution was posted; that section now says, “Noting with Concern the structural racism,

acts of discrimination, and hate crimes experienced by Black Americans, Latinx, and people of color that

result in social and economic barriers to success.”

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARD?

The updated resolution is set to be voted on in the board’s next meeting on Wednesday.

Members of the public may comment on the resolution, as well as other matters, during the meeting via

Zoom.

Some community members are calling for Sysak to resign, while others are asking that the board vote to

censure his Facebook posts. Others, such as chemistry professor Baxley, said they want Sysak to remain

on the board until his term finishes in 2022.

“It would be good for him to recognize the harm that he could be causing the students of the college he

is sworn to represent,” Baxley said of Sysak. “If he can spend the remainder of his time at Cuesta

reflecting on how his actions and actions of others could negatively impact students, or, in a positive

way, how being anti-racist and being supportive can help students of color or marginalized groups, I

think that would be a far more effective use of this time.”

Some critics assert that Sysak violated the board of trustee’s code of ethics, which say that “All board

members are expected to maintain the highest standards of conduct and ethical behavior,” and that

board members must “protect, advance, and promote the interest of all citizens to whom (they are)

fiscally responsible as an elected official by maintaining independent judgment unbiased by private or

special interest groups.”

The outcry about Sysak’s Facebook posts has prompted a larger discussion on the racial and ethnic

makeup of the college’s employees when compared to its students, Cuesta College students Javier Ortiz

and Ariel Paraza said.

Cuesta College’s student population is 49% white and 33% Hispanic or Latino, according to the National

Center for Education Statistics. Black or African American students make up 2% of the student

population, while Asians make up 3% of the student population, according to the center.

At Cuesta College, about 73% of employees are white, while only 3.5% are Hispanic, according to data

obtained by The Tribune. About 1% of employees are Black or African American, and roughly 3% are

Asian, according to the data.

The community college’s board recently adopted a resolution authored by the college’s academic senate

declaring that Black lives matter on Oct. 7, but students and community members want the college and

board to continue to work on diversity and equity efforts.

“After this equity statement is complete, I don’t want them to be like, ‘Okay, well, we just completed

that we’re gonna wash our hands from it, and we can just move on,’ ” Ortiz said. “This statement needs

to be the beginning of real, equitable change at Cuesta.”

I registered for my Fall courses as soon as the semester opened up, one class had a time set, the other said TBA, and I'm currently waitlisted on another. I kept checking almost everyday in order to see if my class that said "TBA" posted the times.

It is now less than a week before classes start, and now all of my classes say TBA. My manager is hounding me about this since I have to adjust my work schedule and there is literally nothing I can do. Why did all of my classes change to TBA? Even the class that did have a time changed to TBA. I don't know what to even do anymore, I debated on emailing the professors, but I've been pretty let down by professors during the summer classes so I feel like that isn't going to get me far at all.

Why is Cuesta such a shitshow right now? It has been getting worse and worse, making counseling appointments has also been hell. I'm just so done, honestly.

So is the bookstore open ? I'm taking chem200 and we need two of these, I tried to order online but the price isn't showing up, it just says 0.00, so I'm kinda lost, thanks !

I'm thinking about taking classes in the fall, but now that everything is on-line due to the epidemic, how are lecture courses done? How are exams given?

When are summer grades posted and when is fall financial aid dispersed, thanks ya'll

I am thinking of taking a science class this fall, but I am not sure which would be easier to take? Also, what are some of the labs like?

Thank you!!!

so I recently signed up for a summer class and I need to find out the textbook to order for the class but can't seems to find the class finder function of the old portal on the new one, does anyone her any idea on how to navigate the new portal.?

What was your experience with taking more than the maximum amount of recommended credits?
