(THE COLLEGE FIX) – California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a budget bill that includes $1.4 million of funding for several university-linked groups to stop hate crimes against Asians.
Assemblyman Phil Ting played a role in ensuring that the money would flow to several universities and organizations as part of Assembly Bill 85.
“The rise in hate incidents against Asian Americans during the pandemic is alarming,” Ting said in a news release. “But, we can’t solve a problem without knowing how big it is. New state funding allows the data gathering.”
