New PPIC Report on Higher Ed

Click on image to enlarge

The Public Policy Institute of California (PPIC) has issued a largely-descriptive report on higher education in the state.* It is one of several publications on higher ed recently released by PPIC and available at https://www.ppic.org/publications/. Noted in the descriptive report is the absence of a coordinating body across the various components of higher education in California, public and private. California had such a state-sponsored body - the California Postsecondary Education Commission (CPEC)** - until 2011 when former Governor Jerry Brown zeroed out its budget, ostensibly as part of the response to the state budget crisis of that period. CPEC was a successor to the earlier Coordinating Council for Higher Education,*** which originated as part of the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education.
