UC president Clark Kerr hands Master Plan to Gov. Pat Brown |
The Master Plan, of course, is one of the legacies of Governor Pat Brown, Jerry Brown's dad.
These new pilot programs were given a "sunset" date. In theory, the Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) would do a study and evaluation. Presumably, the legislature could then decide about a further extension.
A bill - SB 1406 - now on Governor Brown's extends the "sunset" date by three years. In effect, the ad hoc approach to modifying the Master Plan would continue. Governor (Jerry) Brown never seemed interested in having a more formal and comprehensive approach to examining the Master Plan and its division of responsibilities between the three segments: UC, CSU, and community colleges. Whether his successor - likely to be Gavin Newsom - will have such an interest is unknown.
