"Seven in 10 University of California workers in clerical, administrative and support services struggle to put adequate food on the table, according to a new Occidental College study.

The study, released Monday, found that 45% of 2,890 employees surveyed throughout the 10-campus UC system went hungry at times. An additional 25% had to reduce the quality of their diet."

If you're going to argue for or against #FreeCollege  in the #Election2016  season, you may want to be up on the #history of it. This is a nice summary through the California lens.

Three #UC campuses involved in this #highered experiment.

Three #UC  campuses involved in this #highered  experiment. No #CalState  campuses. Hm. OK, the participants can work the bugs out through courses that won't scare anybody. But when it works, and it's tried with (say) highly transferable, General Education courses, will that be the end of Rico... er, of conventional pathways?

A California campus with vision about its vision!

A California campus with vision about its vision!

Laura Gibbs For today's critiquing-language quest: These folks are 3-1/2 hours from my campus but the vibes from this brilliant approach haven't reached us yet... Our current master-plan planning is proceeding apace by allowing e-mail input along with several f2f open forums. Maybe a Google Form out there but I'm not sure... I hope this doesn't seem too ambitious to our small campus decision makers.
