By signing this pledge, I urge the next Governor of California to ensure our state’s prosperity and help students reach their college dreams by developing a statewide plan for producing one million more college graduates by 2025.
Specifically, I urge the next Governor to:
• Ensure California provides a spot in college for all eligible students;
• Support our community colleges and universities with additional revenues;
• Preserve financial aid for low and moderate income Californians through Cal Grants and increasing student access to federal Pell Grants;
• Support higher education funding and policy priorities that hold colleges and universities accountable for increasing student graduation and completion rates;
• Improve the coordination between our two year colleges and four year universities especially with regards to early college preparation, assessment and transfer. |
