Poll: Flunking Grades for Governor, Legislature on Higher Education | California Progress Report


Poll: Flunking Grades for Governor, Legislature on Higher Education California Progress Report:

"A new poll by the Public Policy Institute of California gave the governor and state lawmakers low grades for their handling of higher education.

The poll comes as California State University announces drastic plans to reduce enrollment by 40,000 students and in the wake of record tuition hikes and enrollment cuts at the University of California.

California’s Community Colleges are reeling under the double whammy of state funding cuts and increasing enrollment demand as students crowded out of UC and CSU attempt, with diminishing success, to find space in courses at local community colleges."
