Villaraigosa’s history working in the labor movement, his experience in the state Legislature and on the Los Angeles City Council give him a “pretty solid record” to stand on, said Tom Hogen-Esch, who teaches politics at Cal State Northridge.

A University of Sheffield study once found children are frightened by clown-themed décor in hospitals. A psychology professor at California State University-Northridge found that masks and makeup drive this phenomenon, as young children are “very reactive to a familiar body type with an unfamiliar face.” Hence certain voters’ fear of the orange guy running for president. -- The Dunn County News - WI

Rodolfo F. Acuña, founder of the Chicana/o Studies program at California State University Northridge, feels that Dawson had the right to vent her feelings. "I think she was taking a stand for Bernie Sanders," he said, "but in the media it was framed as her being against Dolores Huerta. It was put in terms of a Puerto Rican versus a Mexican."
