Final Report from Committee on the Future (Except It is a Draft)

There is now a draft report on the UCOP website – entitled DRAFT final report (so it is final but still a draft?) – from the UC Committee on the Future. There are not a lot of surprises.

Recommendations are included to speed up undergrad degrees, make transfers easier from community colleges, pursue online education, change the word fee to tuition, have cohort-based tuition schedules, achieve more efficiencies, do more fund raising, wring more money out of grants, have more out-of-state students who pay full freight, etc. Maybe the most controversial is differential tuition across the campuses.

The draft report is http://ucfuture.universityofcalifornia.edu/presentations/cotf_final_report_draft.pdf

The future may be not-so-bright. No replicants are reported, however:
