From the Daily Californian: Gov. Jerry Brown announced Wednesday his decision to veto a bill, SB
42, that would have established a new agency to oversee all higher
education in the state. The bill would have created an Office of Higher Education Performance
and Accountability, or OHEPA, to advise the governor and legislature on
goals for higher education, and an advisory board to review the
performance of this office. SB 42 passed the Senate and the Assembly in
early September. The office would have served as a replacement for the California
Postsecondary Education Commission, or CPEC, which was the state’s
independent agency for higher education policy planning, research and
analysis for 40 years prior to its defunding in 2011...
