California's future strength depends on investing now in graduate education. California's economy is increasingly dependent on discovery, but California has been underinvesting in graduate education, the key training ground for the people who create those discoveries. These graduates become leaders in all walks of life, in turn creating jobs and opportunities for many other people. California also needs more graduate degree holders because the state's undergraduates need the new faculty that graduate education will produce in the coming decade. The enrollment increases and retirements anticipated in California's institutions of higher education will require hiring 40,000 new faculty by 2010. By 2010, UC will need an additional $215 million annually to provide the support needed to add 11,000 graduate students and be competitive for the best students. Innovation
