The provided news articles focus on the climate-driven snow drought in the Sierra Nevada mountains of Northern California and its contribution to a deadly avalanche. The articles highlight the role of a prolonged period of low snowfall followed by heavy snowfall on a hardened layer of snow in creating unstable conditions. While the articles discuss a significant environmental event in California, they do not mention San Jose State University (SJSU) or its involvement in the situation. Therefore, SJSU is not directly newsworthy in the context of these articles. The articles' relevance lies in their discussion of climate change impacts and the resulting natural disasters.
