State Policy Briefing: The CSU Crisis and California's Future (UC Center-Sacramento, from Jun 15, 2011 01:30 PM to Jun 15, 2011 03:00 PM)

At this event, leading scholars present research findings on the impact of fiscal cutbacks on opportunity for higher education in the California State University system. CSUs educate a greater number of Latino and African American students, enroll a much larger undergraduate student body than the University of California system overall, and many CSU students are first-generation college students struggling to get an education in difficult times. Representatives from the Legislative Analyst’s Office, California Senate, and Postsecondary Education Commission respond to the researchers and open the discussion to attendees.
