He Said, She Said: Another Gubernatorial Debate Today

For those who did not satisfy their debate hunger last week, there will be another gubernatorial debate today (Saturday, Oct. 2) on Channel 34 Univision, 4 PM. This one will be bilingual. Given the week's housekeeper-gate events (see lower picture), there will surely be questions on immigration. Whether there will be much on higher ed literally remains to be seen.



UPDATE: You can see major excerpts from the debate at http://univision34.univision.com/destino2010/gubernatorial-debate/gubernatorial-debate-videos/

Since it is not clear how long those excerpts will remain posted, here are links to audio (video with a still picture):

Part 2 (Central Valley/water-continued, higher education):

Part 3 [end] (Job creation, foreclosures, housekeeper-gate):

There are also notes on the Sacramento Bee's Capitol Alert service. The only direct discussion of higher ed is described below:

Whitman and Brown talk college for illegal immigrants (excerpt)

Democrat Jerry Brown said in today's debate that he would support the California Dream Act, while he said Republican Meg Whitman would kick illegal immigrants out of college.

Whitman said it is not fair to bar California citizens from college "in favor of undocumenteds."
