- Mike Rotkin's Views on UCSC Growth
-
The University should only be allowed to grow if it first mitigates the impact of that growth on the campus and in the local community.
- Issues Facing the GLBT Community
-
The GLBT community is faced with many issues related to equality. We need to move beyond tolerance to respect and appreciation for the contributions of the GLBT community.
- Economic Development in Santa Cruz
-
Santa Cruz has many opportunties for economic develpment, but we need to build a community consensus about the kind of development we can actively support in our community.
