Editorial: Calif. needs better vision for higher education
Publisher’s note: This editorial is from the Oct. 18, 2013, Sacramento Bee.
In a report that should not sit on a shelf, the Little Hoover Commission this week urged Gov. Jerry Brown and legislators to devise a new master plan for higher education to meet anticipated demand for 2.3 million more college graduates within 12 years.
A revised master plan, completed 50 years after the first one, would make for an ideal undertaking for a governor whose father is identified with the expansion of California’s public colleges and universities.
As the commission sees it, California must envision higher education on a much greater level than it does now, embrace online education and create seamless transfers from community colleges to four-year institutions, all worthy notions.
The success of public colleges and universities is an economic development and a social justice issue. College must be kept affordable, though the public institutions should not count on large infusions of more public money, the commission said.
With hacking systemic on public facilities at minimum, criminals have more opportunities to fine tune abusing the public while attending public schools.
PR Obray … what are you talking about?! Do you have any actual data to quote or is it that the criminals you know attend public school?
