UC: an engine of opportunity for all Californians
As UC students return to their campuses this fall, I'm reminded what it is we are fighting for in this era of belt-tightening and sacrifice. It's been a tough year for UC. Few realize that the foundation on which UC is built is crumbling for lack of investment. If the 20-year slide in state support for public higher education is not halted and reversed, California’s innovation economy and the educated work force that sustains it will wither. Today, academic quality, student access, and student affordability are all at risk.
