- Education
Today, we’re turning our attention to the world of higher education in California — a state where, in 1960, a master plan for higher ed was released that was hailed as a model for other states. However, six decades later, it may need a critical update to tackle current challenges in access and affordability. Su Jin Jez, CEO of California Competes, joins us to discuss the issues facing California colleges and universities – from equity gaps to better support for adult learners – and how their response may have lessons for other states. A key issue she highlights is California’s need for a coordinating entity at the state level to address turf battles within the higher ed system.
