All About Texas Longhorns’ Volleyball Coach Jerritt Elliott’s Family, Career, Success, and More

Born and raised in California, Jerritt Elliott didn’t have any connection with the coaching profession, nor did he have anything such with Texas. Rather, at Cal State Northridge, he completed his bachelor’s in kinesiology. In those years, he competed in collegiate volleyball at Pepperdine from 1986 to 1988 and at Hawai’i during the 1989-90 academic year. The volleyball connection had also been there for him in his high school years. How? Being a native of Pacific Palisades, he went to Palisades High School, where he was teammates with Kent Steffes, who won a gold medal in beach volleyball at the 1996 U.S. Olympics. Apart from that, in his senior year, Elliott earned an All-L.A. City second-team selection while helping Palisades achieve a perfect 36-0 record. Those remained the bridges for him, connecting him to the sport. His family also shares a link with volleyball. -- Essentially Sports

Judge rejects lawsuit over ‘liberated’ ethnic studies classes in LAUSD

“This is a win for liberatory critical ethnic studies and academic freedom. It’s a testament to the power of solidarity and liberation, whether that be in South Los Angeles or in Gaza,” said Montaño, a professor of Chicano/a Studies at CSU Northridge. “And so it’s a signal to us that we will not stop, that we will persist until authentic ethnic studies is guaranteed to every student in this state.” -- EdSource
