Cooking the Goose That Lays the Golden Eggs: California's Public Higher Education System in Peril
Master White Paper Executive Summary
Ex-Chancellor Charles Reed's View of AB 656
"The 23-campus university has bristled at the requirement that it spend the money on instruction...
"'We have things that need to be done that aren't just about hiring faculty,' said Karen Zamarripa, Cal State's assistant vice chancellor for advocacy and state relations."
From the Contra Costa Times, "Higher-Education Leaders Split Over Proposed Oil Tax," by Matt Krupnick, February 9, 2010, p. 9A.
So, because the $1-2 Billion raised by AB 656 must all be spent on teaching, the Chancellor doesn't want the money that would have been raised by AB 656. This is the peculiar logic guiding the CSU leadership. What, after all, is the primary mission of the CSU's, if not teaching? Yet the Chancellor's Office refuses to abide by that self-evident proposition.
If You Believe
that public goods and the public interest should not be trampled upon and replaced by private interests and private profits; if you believe that greed and selfishness aren't virtues; if you believe that the University of Phoenix is not something to aspire to for the UC and CSU Systems; if you believe that everyone who wishes to, meets the qualifications, and is willing to do the necessary work, should have access at a reasonable cost to a higher education; and if you believe that education needs to be funded properly, then this site is for you!
The Battle Over Higher Education in California
Welcome
This site's purpose is to promote a conversation among faculty, students, staff, and the community about higher education in California and to mobilize people to defend higher education, and the CSU in particular.

Creating an alternative vision for the UC system to those now leading the UC would make a perfect complement to the CSU Master White Paper.
