OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS THE
LEGISLATORS PASS LEGISLATION AND
MADE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS
WITH THE GOAL OF INCREASING
STUDENT OUTCOMES AND SUCCESS. WE
RECOGNIZE THAT THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SYSTEM IS A UNIQUE ONE.
AND THAT ITS STUDENTS ARE UNIQUE

MEMBERS OF THEIR FAMILIES TO
ATTEND COLLEGE MANY ARE FROM
UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES WE

THANK YOU SENATOR NELSON HE WILL

LIKE TO INTRODUCE THE FIRST
BALLOT FOR THEM TO. BE PREPARED
TO GET US STARTED WE'RE GONNA
START WITH THE LA OWES OFFICE
AND WITH US FROM THE ALWAYS ALL
OLD OFFICES EDGAR CABRAL. WILL
THEN HEAR FROM DEPARTMENT
FINANCES COSTA. IN CHANCELLOR
ELOY ORTIZ OAKLEY AGAIN CHANCE
OF THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WELCOME TO ALL OF YOU
MISC BROUGHT MR COVER ALL.
GOOD MORNING MADAM CHAIR AND
RECALL WHAT THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S OFFICE. WHERE A VERY
BRIEF HANDOUT THAT I PASSED
AROUND THAT I THINK SHOULD THOSE
CHARTS SERGEANT PASSED AROUND
THAT GIVES YOU SOME VERY?
A LITTLE BACKGROUND INFORMATION
THE GROUND SOME INFORMATION THAT
WE THOUGHT WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR
THE CONTEXT OF THIS DISCUSSION.
OR JUST SOME INFORMATION ON
WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WITH RESPECT
TO ONLINE COURSE OFFERINGS. AND
SO ON PAGE ONE OF THE OF THE
HAND THAT WE HAVE A CHART THAT
SHOWS YOU. THE PERCENTAGE OF.
I'VE BEEN ROMAN THAT'S THAT'S.
IN AN ONLINE COURSE AND YOU
COULD SEE THAT OVER THE LAST TEN
YEARS WE'VE HAD AN INCREASE FROM
ABOUT FIVE PERCENT TO THIRTEEN
PERCENT I'M ON LINE. ITEM THIS
IS BOTH A PRIMARILY IT'S WHAT'S
CALLED ASYNCHRONOUS INSTRUCTION
WHERE SOMEBODY. A FACULTY MEMBER
IS POSTING LECTURES AND
RESOURCES. ONLINE INSTANT ACCESS
IT WHENEVER IS MOST CONVENIENT
FOR THEM THERE'S A TINY PORTION
OF IT WHAT THAT IS WHAT'S CALLED
SYNCHRONOUS WHERE THERE ARE SOME.
FACULTY AND STUDENTS ONLINE AT
THE TIME.
ANOTHER IMPORTANT THING IN
SETTING UP THE CONTEXT OF THIS
DISCUSSION RIGHT NOW DECISIONS
ON WHETHER COURSES SHOULD BE
OFFERED IN PERSON OR ONLINE OR
ARE MADE AT THE COMMITTEE
BECAUSE DISTRICT THEMSELVES BY
THE LOCAL GOVERNING BOARDS.
UNTIL THERE IS NOT A STATEWIDE
CORE MISSION OR.
DETERMINATION OF HOW MANY HOW
MANY COURSES SHOULD BE AVAILABLE
ONLINE.
ON PAGE TWO WE JUST TALKED TO A
COUPLE OF THINGS ON THAT.
IN AND THAT YOU MIGHT BE
INTERESTED BECAUSE THE BUDGET
HAVE INCLUDED ADDITIONAL FUNDING
FOR WHAT'S CALLED THE SOUND
ONLINE EDUCATION INITIATIVE THIS
IS OUR FIRST FUNDED IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN FOURTEEN. WITH
SEVENTEEN MILLION THE FIRST YEAR
AND IT'S BEEN. AN ARM OF TEN
MILLION DOLLARS.
THEREAFTER AND THEN THERE WAS
ANOTHER ALL TIME AND
AUGMENTATION LAST YEAR. ON THE
THE GOAL OF THE ONLY I IS TO
INCREASE ACCESS TO QUALITY
ONLINE COURSES TO THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT THE THAT THE
THERE'S BEEN INTEREST THE STATE
LEVEL AND IN. PROVIDING SOME
ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO HELP
FACILITATE ACROSS THE STATE.
I'M ONE OF THE KEY THINGS THAT
WE HAVE DONE IS TO MAKE A COMMON
COURSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
AVAILABLE TO ALL COLLEGES.
SO THAT THERE IS SOME
CONTINUITY ACROSS ACROSS THE
STATE TO PROVIDE TRAINING AND
RESOURCES FOR OUR FACULTY WHO
FOR EXAMPLE ARE INTERESTED IN
DEVELOPING COURSES. AND ALSO
SOME RESOURCES FOR STUDENTS
TOURING IN SUPPORT. ALSO ARE ON
RATING OF MODULES THAT STUDENTS
COULD GET MORE INFORMATION TO
FIGURE OUT IF THEY ARE IDEALLY
SUITED FOR AN ONLINE COURSE.
THE ONE OTHER KEY THING THAT WE
ARE A ON LAUNCH WAS THE COURSE
EXCHANGE IN SPRING OF TWENTY
SEVENTEEN AND. THE DEAL WAS TO
HAVE COLLEGES COME TOGETHER WHO
PARTICIPATED WOULD WOULD MAKE
SOME OF THEIR COURSES AVAILABLE
TO. ANY STUDENT IN THE. WHO WAS
ALSO A PARTICIPATING ARE COLLEGE
SIX COLLEGES ARE CURRENTLY
PARTICIPATING IN THAT EXCHANGE?
?
ALTHOUGH STUDENTS CAN TAKE SOME
COURSES FROM OTHER COMMUNITY
COLLEGES RIGHT NOW THERE'S A
LITTLE BIT MORE BURDENSOME
ADMINISTRATIVE. ADMINISTRATIVELY
BURDENSOME FOR THEM AND SO THIS
IS A WAY TO TRY TO STREAMLINE
THAT PROCESS.
SO THEN ON OUR LAST PAGE ON PAGE
THREE WE JUST PROVIDE YOU SOME
BRIEF INFORMATION REGARDING.
SUCCESS RATES IN ONLINE VERSUS.
IN PERSON CLASSES KNOWS
SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN AT THE
THE FIRST QUESTIONS REGARDING
OUR ONLINE EDUCATION YOU CAN SEE
HERE THAT WE HAVE THERE IS A GAP
IN TERMS OF US DIDN'T SUCCESS IN
AN ONLINE CLASS WHICH IS IN
PERSON. THOUGH THAT GAP HAS BEEN
CLOSING SO ARM THE.
TWENTY ELEVEN TWELVE IT WAS
ABOUT ELEVEN PERCENTAGE POINT
GAP BETWEEN PERFORMANCE IN.
ONLINE COURSE VERSES ARE IN-CLASS BUT GOT PUSHED AS FAR AS
FROM TO SEVEN PERCENT SO SO WE
HAVE SEEN OVER TIME THAT THAT.
DECREASE THIS IS INFORMATION OR
DATA FROM THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES
BUT THESE TRENDS PERSIST
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY AND AND.
HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS
WHERE WE ARE SEEING THAT THAT
GAP CLOTHES.
ONE OTHER THING THAT'S IMPORTANT
KEEP IN MIND ARM IN SOME STUDIES
SHOW THAT. ALTHOUGH THERE ARE.
PERSISTENTLY YOU HAVE THIS THIS
GAP THAT'S BEEN CLOSING TIME IN
TERMS OF SUCCESS IN PERSON
VERSUS ONLINE. THAT GAP DIFFERS
BY DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS SO I'M
SORRY STUDIES FIND THAT.
AT STUDENTS WHO HAVE A SMALLER
DROP OFF IN TERMS OF THERE IN
PERSON OBVERSES ONLINE
PERFORMANCE ARE. THOSE WILL COME
IN WITH HIGHER GPAS. OLDER
ADULTS AND WOMEN NOT TEN HAVE
LOWER DROP OFF THE PERFORMANCE
BY CONTRAST.
INDIVIDUALS WHO COME IN WITH
LOWER GPAS ARM TO OUR NEWER WHO
ARE I. FIRST TIME FRESHMEN
YOUNGER ADULTS AND AND MEN TEND
TO HAVE A GREATER DROP OFF
BETWEEN ONLINE AND IN PERSON
COURSES.
SORRY ARE TO STOP THERE THIS IS
THE BACKGROUND FOR YOU IN TERMS
OF SETTING UP. WHAT THE STATE
HAS DONE ON ONLINE MORE OFFICE
IS CURRENTLY REVIEWING THE
PROPOSAL WE EXPECT TO HAVE?
CERTAINLY BY THE END OF NEXT
WEEK AND ABOUT OUR ANALYSES OF
THE HIGHER EDUCATION BUBLES IN
THE BUDGET ARMOR WILL HAVE A
LITTLE BIT MORE. DETAILS HAS
BEEN RECOMMENDATIONS.
JUST TO CLEAR FIVE VERY QUICKLY
MR BROUGHT MYSTICAL BROUGHT
BEFORE YOU START AS CASA ON THE
FIRST SLIDE YOU SAID.
WITH SOME DISTRICTS THE
REPORTING NO ONLINE INSTRUCTION
TO YOU CAN YOU QUANTIFY THAT HOW
MANY.
I DON'T RECALL SO THIS IS DATA
FROM SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN THAT WE
TOOK FROM FROM OTHER COMMITTEE
COLLEGE DATA I I BELIEVE THAT
WERE. I CAN READ TO GET ONE OR
TWO THAT REPORTED NINE I DO
THINK THAT THAT COULD BE A
REPORTING ISSUE BECAUSE. I WILL
I WILL TELL YOU THAT AT LEAST
ONE OF THOSE COLLEGES I WENT TO
THE WEBSITE AND HAD COURSE
OFFERINGS ON THE WEBSITE THAT
MIGHT BE A REPORTING ISSUE BUT
THAT'S THE DATA THAT WE HAVE.
THANK YOU.
WITH COSTA.
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING MADAM
CHAIR MISTER VICE CHAIR MEMBERS
AMY COST WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE I'D LIKE TO I BROUGHT A
PRESENTATION AND I'D LIKE TO
BEGIN IT BY I'M GOING BACK TO A
COMMENT THAT YOU MADE MADAM
CHAIR IN YOUR OPENING STATEMENT
ABOUT. THE LEGISLATURE'S
COMMITMENT TO ACCESS AND SUCCESS
AND ASSURE YOU THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION SHARES THAT
COMMITMENT AND WE REALLY VIEW
THE PROPOSAL BEFORE YOU FOR
CONSIDERATION. IN THAT LANDS I'M
I THOUGHT WHAT I WOULD DO IN THE
PROPOSAL IS GO THROUGH WHAT WE
DEEM THE PROBLEM STATEMENT THAT
THE PROPOSAL SEEKS TO ADDRESS.
BY PROVIDING SOME HIGH LEVEL
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ABOUT
THE LANDSCAPE OF HIGHER ED IN
CALIFORNIA AS IT STANDS RIGHT
NOW AND THEN GET MORE SPECIFIC
ABOUT.
THE CURTAIN STUDENTS THAT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE SERVING
AND THEN TALK ABOUT THE PROPOSAL
THAT WE PUT FORWARD IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET.
THE FIRST SIDE YOU'LL SEE BEFORE
YOU ARE WHAT WE CONSIDER
TRADITIONAL COLLEGE AID STUDENTS
IN CALIFORNIA UNDER THE MASTER
PLAN OBVIOUSLY A CERTAIN
PERCENTAGE OF THE STUDENTS GO TO
EACH OF OUR THREE PUBLIC.
SEGMENTS OF EDUCATION HERE IN
THE STATE. AND YOU CAN SEE THAT
INTO TWENTY FIFTEEN SIXTEEN
ROUGHLY FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
STUDENTS GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL
IN CALIFORNIA. OF WHICH AROUND
THREE HUNDRED AND FOUR THOUSAND
ENTERED AS FIRST TIME FRESHMEN
INTO COLLEGE AND YOU CAN SEE
BASED ON THE THE SLIDE BELOW.
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES SERVE FAR
AND AWAY THE MOST OF THE
STUDENTS ON COMING DIRECTLY OUT
OF HIGH SCHOOL. FOLLOWED BY THE
ISSUE IN STATE PRIVATE AND THEN
LEFT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA.
THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE MORE
DETAIL ABOUT THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS ON THAT ARE
BEING SERVED CURRENTLY I'M AS
YOU MAY KNOW AS WAS REFERENCED
IN THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS.
ARE AT THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGE. SYSTEM IS THE LARGEST
SYSTEM OF PUBLIC HIGHER
EDUCATION IN THE COUNTRY. THEY
SERVE TWO POINT ONE MILLION
STUDENTS THE MEDIAN AGE IS
TWENTY TWO YEARS OF AGE AND THE
AVERAGE AGE IS TWENTY EIGHT.
YOU CAN SEE HIM OR TALK ABOUT
THIS A LITTLE BIT MORE THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE A HUGE
JOB IN CALIFORNIA THEY SERVE
MANY DIFFERENT NEEDS MANY
DIFFERENT STUDENTS. THEY PERFORM.
FUNCTIONS SUCH AS PROVIDING
BASIC SKILLS ALL THE WAY UP TO
ASSOCIATE DEGREE FOR TRANSFER AS
WELL AS CAREER TECHNICAL
EDUCATION SO BY FAR IT'S ONE OF
OUR MORE DIVERSE INSTITUTIONS IN
THE PUBLIC HIGHER ED SYSTEM IN
CALIFORNIA.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE.
THE POPULATION THAT WERE SEEKING
TO SERVE THROUGH THIS PROPOSAL
WHICH I JUST WANNA MAKE REALLY
CLEAR IS NOT THE TRADITIONAL
FIRST TIME FRESHMEN. WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT IN OUR PROPOSAL TO
TARGET AN ONLINE EDUCATION AND
REALLY FURTHERING THE?
ANALYSTS TESTIMONY WHAT WE KNOW
ABOUT THE SUCCESS OF ONLINE
EDUCATION BEING A BETTER FIT FOR
OLDER STUDENTS FOR FEMALE
STUDENTS AND FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE
A LITTLE BIT MORE LIFE
EXPERIENCE.
WE KNOW THAT THERE ARE ABOUT TWO
POINT FIVE MILLION CALIFORNIANS
WHO ARE AGES TWENTY FIVE TO
THIRTY FOUR MANY OF THEM ARE
WORKING ADULTS. WHO MAY HAVE
SOME COLLEGE CREDIT ALTERNATELY
DID NOT RECEIVE A CERTIFICATE OR
DEGREE? AND SO THAT'S REALLY
WHOM THIS PROPOSAL IS TARGETED
AT. EIGHTY PERCENT OF THESE
INDIVIDUALS ARE IN THE WORKFORCE
AND NEARLY HALF OF THEM ARE FROM
SPANISH SPEAKING HOMES.
THE AVERAGE SALARY FOR THESE
INDIVIDUALS IN TWENTY SIXTEEN
WAS TWENTY SIX THOUSAND FIVE
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR DOLLARS
AND THE AVERAGE MEDIAN AGE.
WITHIN THIS COHORT IS TWENTY
NINE YEARS OF AGE.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE WHY
WE ARE TARGETING THIS PARTICULAR
POPULATION AND WE OFTEN TALK
ABOUT THE GREAT RECESSION I
OFTEN TESTIFY TO THAT WE THINK
THE NEXT RECESSION IS COMING.
AND WE REALLY DO VIEW THIS
PROPOSAL AS THE PEOPLE SIDE OF
THAT EQUATION WE TALK ABOUT THE
BUDGET STABILIZATION ACT. BUT WE
ALSO NEED TO BE MINDFUL OF
PREPARING PEOPLE FOR THE NEXT
RECESSION. AND YOU CAN SEE IN
THIS GRAPH HOW PEOPLE FARED IN
UNEMPLOYMENT DURING THE
RECESSION AND AFTER. AND THERE'S
A DIRECT CORRELATION TO THE
NUMBER. OF UNEMPLOYMENT AND THE
LEVEL OF EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT.
YOU CAN SEE. THAT THOSE WITH
LESS THAN A HIGH SCHOOL.
GRADUATION LESS THAN A HIGH
SCHOOL DEGREE. HAD THE HIGHEST
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE AT THE HEIGHT
OF THE GREAT RECESSION AND THE
RECOVERY WHICH IS MUCH SLOWER.
AND IT FALLS IN LINE BASED ON
THE NEXT LEVEL OF EDUCATIONAL
ATTAINMENT HOW THEY DID DURING
THE GREAT RECESSION AND
ULTIMATELY HOW THEY WERE COVERED
IN THE JOB MARKET AFTER.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU ALSO SEE
THE MEDIAN PERSONAL INCOME BY
EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENT.
CERTAINLY THERE'S BEEN MANY
STUDIES ON THIS EONS OBVIOUSLY
THE WAR AVERAGE INCOME IS
CORRELATED WITH YOUR EDUCATIONAL
ATTAINMENT SO REALLY NO SURPRISE
THERE AND YOU CAN SEE OBVIOUSLY
THOSE THAT HAVE LESS THAN A HIGH
SCHOOL DEGREE. HAVE THE LEAST
AMOUNT OF MEDIUM PERSONAL INCOME
BY EDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTS.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE.
SEE A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT VERSION
OF THIS WHICH IS A AND IT'S BEEN
STUDIED EXTENSIVELY AS WELL. THE
LIFETIME EARNINGS FOR
INDIVIDUALS BY EDUCATIONAL
ATTAINMENT LEVELS. THINK PART OF
THE CONTEXT OF THIS PROPOSAL ON
WHY WE FILLED THIS PARTICULAR
TARGET OF. INDIVIDUALS IN
CALIFORNIA IS IMPORTANT IS
BECAUSE IN ADDITION TO TALKING
ABOUT PREPARING FOR THE NEXT
RECESSION WE'VE HAD A LOT OF
CONVERSATIONS IN THE BROADER
BUDGET CONTACTS ABOUT THE.
INCOME DISPARITY THAT'S
HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA AS WELL
AS THE RISING COST OF HOUSING
AND REALLY THE SQUEEZE THAT'S
PUTTING ON SOME INDIVIDUALS IN
THE STATE. IS THE PROPOSAL
REALLY SEEKS TO HELP ADDRESS
SOME OF THOSE ISSUES WE'VE MADE
GREAT STRIDES IN RECENT YEARS
AND OUR BUDGET ON ADDRESSING
POVERTY IN CALIFORNIA THROUGH
THE EARNED INCOME TAX CREDIT.
PASSING MINIMUM WAGE IN THIS
STATE AND SO WE REALLY VIEW THIS
AS ANOTHER TOOL AND THAT SAME
TOOL BOX TO HELP COMBAT POVERTY
IN A TARGETED MANNER. SPECIFIED
GROUP OF CALIFORNIANS.
IN THE NEXT SLIDE YOU'LL SEE A
LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT THESE INDIVIDUALS. WE
LOOKED AT WE WANTED TO SEE THE
EMPLOYMENT. OF THE TARGET
POPULATION SPECIFICALLY FOR A
HISPANICS IN CALIFORNIA AGE
TWENTY FIVE TO THIRTY FOUR.
YOU CAN SEE BASED ON THIS.
THAT.
IT VARIES IN THE RETAIL TRADE
THE MEDIAN EARNINGS ARE TWENTY
THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS ANNUALLY
THINK THIS IS IMPORTANT CONTACTS
BECAUSE MIT HAS CALCULATED FOR A
FAMILY OF FOUR IN CALIFORNIA. A
LIVABLE WAGE WOULD BE AROUND
SEVEN NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS SO
AGAIN THESE INDIVIDUALS WITHOUT
INCREASING THEIR EDUCATIONAL
ATTAINMENT LEVEL ARE REALLY
GOING TO HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME.
ON OBTAINING A LIVING WAGE IN
THIS STATE AND PAYING FOR SOME
OF THE INCREASE IN COSTS THAT
WE'RE EXPERIENCING IN CALIFORNIA
NAMELY HOUSING.
THE COLLEGE.
PROPOSAL WILL OFFER AT LEAST
THREE PROGRAM PATHWAYS WITHIN
THE FIRST THREE YEARS OF
IMPLEMENTATION AND WE'RE TRYING
TO DESIGN THOSE PATHWAYS
SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS TARGET
POPULATION.
WOULD LIKE TO FOCUS THOSE
PATHWAYS ON GROWING INDUSTRIES
IN CALIFORNIA AREA IS WHERE WE
KNOW THERE ARE JOBS IN WHERE WE
KNOW THAT THEY CAN INCREASE
THEIR ANNUAL SALARIES. SOME OF
THE.
THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING OUR
ADVANCED MANUFACTURING
HEALTHCARE THE SERVICE SECTOR IN
HOME SUPPORTIVE SERVICES AND
CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE.
WE WANTED TO PROVIDE A LITTLE
BIT MORE CONTACTS ABOUT THE
STATE OF ONLINE EDUCATION.
THE DATA ON ALL MY EDUCATION IS
SOMEWHAT LIMITED AS FAR AS WHERE
THE STUDENT ACTUALLY RESIDES AND
SO WE WERE ABLE TO OBTAIN SOME
INFORMATION FROM ARIZONA STATE
UNIVERSITY. IN WHICH THEY
INDICATE THEY SERVE AT LEAST TEN
THOUSAND CALIFORNIA STUDENTS AND
THEY'RE ALL ON MY PROGRAM.
ADDITIONALLY WE WANTED TO POINT
OUT THE COST SO ON THE ONE SIDE
THE TEN THOUSAND AND SOME OF THE.
GROWTH IN THIS INDUSTRY
CERTAINLY INDICATES THAT THERE'S
A DEMAND AND THAT THERE'S A NEED
IN THIS SPACE.SECONDARILY YOU
CAN SEE SOME OF THE COST
STRUCTURES OF THE EXISTING
PROGRAMS IN WHICH AT ARIZONA
STATE IT'S FOUR HUNDRED NINETY
pDOLLARS PER CREDIT FOR
CERTIFICATES COMPARE THAT TO THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WHICH CAN
OFFER.
IT'S FOR FORTY SIX DOLLARS AND
HAVE BEEN A LOW COST OPTION FOR
MANY YEARS HERE IN THE STATES.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU CAN SEE
AND THE ANIMALS HAVE SIMILAR
DATA THE CURRENT STATE OF ONLINE
EDUCATION AT THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND YOU CAN
SEE OVER TIME THIS IS A SPACE
THAT'S GROWING IN THE HIGHER
EDUCATION WORLD AT THAT ONLINE
WHICH IS A VERY BROAD TERM I.
THINK AS THE COMMITTEE AT
ALICE'S POINTS OUT THAT CAN BE
PURELY ONLINE THESE CAN BE
WHAT'S WHAT ARE CALLED HYBRID
COURSES IN WHICH SOME OF THE
CONTENT IS DELIVERED ONLINE. BUT
THERE'S ALSO IN PERSON TIME WITH
A PROFESSOR SO WE THINK ONLINE
EDUCATION IN THIS CONTEXT IS
REALLY COVERING A BROAD RANGE OF
DELIVERY OPTIONS.
FOR CONTENT.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE YOU CAN SEE A
LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION
ABOUT. SUCCESS CLEARLY BASED ON
OPENING COMMENTS AND SOME OF THE
INITIAL REACTION THAT WE'VE
RECEIVED TO THE PROPOSAL THERE
IS A QUESTION ABOUT THE SUCCESS
RATE OF ONLINE AND HOW EFFECTIVE
IT IS. FOR DELIVERING CONTENT AS
I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY IN THE
ANALYST MENTIONED THERE ARE SOME
STATISTICS WE KNOW ABOUT THE
TYPES OF INDIVIDUALS THAT
PERFORM BETTER IN THIS
ENVIRONMENT. CERTAINLY ONE OF
THE FACTORS YEAH AND IT SHOULD
COME AS NO SURPRISE I DON'T
THINK IT'S ONLY IN ALL MY
EDUCATION EDUCATION AND GENERAL
STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES AND
WRAP AROUND SERVICES ARE GOING
TO BE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
INDICATING STUDENT SUCCESS ALL
AT A TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN PP I
SEE REPORT THEY THEY FOUND THAT.
AND AS WE'VE ALREADY SAID.
OLDER STUDENTS TRADITIONALLY DO
BETTER IN A MORE SELF DIRECTED
ONLINE ENVIRONMENT.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE BASED ON THAT
CONTACTS WILL TELL YOU A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT OUR OUR PROPOSAL ON AS
WAS MENTIONED THE TRAILER BILL
WAS JUST RECENTLY RELEASED AND I
THINK FOLKS ARE STILL DIGESTING
ALL OF THE CONTENTS OF IT BUT.
IT IN ESSENCE WERE PROPOSING
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS ON GOING
AND ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
ONE TIME THE ONE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS OBVIOUSLY IS TO DEAL
WITH SOME OF THE START UP COST
OF GETTING THAT ON MY COLLEGE UP
AND RUNNING.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE WE ARE
NOT CONSIDERING THAT'S AWFULLY
ONLINE COLLEGE THAT PART OF THE
WORK WILL DO WILL BE WORKING
WITH PARTNERS TO PROVIDE STUDENT
SUPPORT SERVICES.
AS THINGS SUCH AS COUNSELING
AND OTHER.
AREAS THAT WE KNOW ARE REALLY
IMPORTANT TO ALL STUDENT SUCCESS.
ONGOING OPERATIONS INCLUDE THE
LICENSING SOME OF THE TECHNOLOGY
THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED FOR
DELIVERING THE CONTENT.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND
THEN OF COURSE SALARIES AND
BENEFITS FOR THOSE THAT WOULD BE
EMPLOYED BY THE ONLINE COLLEGE.
LASTLY THE ONETIME STARTUP
ACTIVITIES INCLUDE PURCHASING
THE RELEVANT TECHNOLOGY THAT
WOULD BE USED SECURING
ACCREDITATION.
WORKING TO ESTABLISH KEY
PARTNERSHIPS THAT WE CAN
CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THE RIGHT
INDUSTRIES TO PARTNER WITH. FOR
SOME OF THE INITIAL PATHWAYS AND
COURSE OFFERINGS.
A ND DEVELOPING BUSINESS
PROCESSES FOR THE ONLINE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
ON THE NEXT SLIDE I JUST WANT TO
POINT NOW OBVIOUSLY.
SUCCESS AS THE GERMANS AND HER
OPENING COMMENTS ARE SOMETHING
THAT WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN AN
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. WE
JUST WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT
THE ONLINE COMMUNITY OLLEGE
WILL BE SUBJECT TO ALL THE SAME
ACCOUNT ABILITIES ASK THE
EXISTING. COMMUNITY COLLEGES
RIGHT NOW WE'RE NOT ASKING FOR
ANY SPECIAL DISPENSATION FOR THE
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE. IN THE
BEGINNING LIKELY WE WILL HAVE TO
USE AN AVERAGE.
FOR STUDENTS EXASPERATED.
UNDER OUR PROPOSAL WERE I'M
AIMING TO ENROLL STUDENTS IN THE
FALL OF TWENTY NINETEEN SO WE
HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF AN ON RAMP
TO BEGIN TO TO BUILD THE COLLEGE
AS WELL AS THE CURRICULUM.
WITH THAT I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS OR DEFER TO THE
NEXT PANELIST WILL.
HOLD QUESTIONS TO THE END OF
THE FIRST PANEL. CHANCELLOR.
THANK YOU GOOD MORNING
CHAIRWOMAN MITCHELL VICE CHAN
VICE CHAIR NIELSEN AND SENATORS
THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
TO DISCUSS THIS VERY IMPORTANT
PROPOSAL. OF.
THAT I BELIEVE WILL HELP.
NOT JUST.
.
LEVEL THE ODDS BUT CHANGE THE
ODDS FOR MANY OF THE STUDENTS
MANY OF THE ADULT WORKERS THAT
WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT
TODAY.
LET ME BEGIN BY SAYING THAT.
.
I I STRUGGLE EVERY DAY KNOWING
THAT THERE.
OUR CHANGES HAPPENING IN THE
WORKFORCE.
THERE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPACTING MILLIONS OF
CALIFORNIANS.
THERE'S A TROUBLING CHASM IN THE
WORLD WORK TODAY.
AND IT THREATENS OUR HOPES.
OF SUPPORTING THE MIDDLE CLASS
AS A MATTER FACT I THINK MANY OF
US WOULD ARGUE. THAT THERE'S NOT
MUCH OF A MIDDLE CLASS LEFT.
AND IT IS THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
MISSION.
TO SERVE.
AND TO STRENGTHEN THE MIDDLE
CLASS.
SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE HERE TODAY.
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE WE NEED TO
ADD ANOTHER TOOL.
TO THE TOOLBOX OF THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
MILLIONS OF CALIFORNIANS FIND
THEMSELVES ISOLATED.
AND IN FACT DISENFRANCHISED
BECAUSE THEY'RE STRUGGLING TO
TREAD WATER IN THE WORKPLACE.
THIS IS FELT MOST ACUTELY BY
ADULT WORKERS WHO FEEL STRANDED.
WITHOUT ANY SKILLS.
AND AS WE ALL KNOW. THE
WORKPLACE THIS NEW ECONOMY
DEMANDS THAT WORKERS HAVE SKILLS
DEMONSTRATED BULL SKILLS. YOU
CERTIFICATIONS OR OTHERWISE.
DEMONSTRATING THOSE SKILLS.
THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE LEFT
OUT OF THE CNVERSATION. WHEN WE
IN THIS BUILDING AND IN OUR
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
DEBATE AND DISCUSS.
THE CALIFORNIA MASTER PLAN.
THESE WORKERS ARE TYPICALLY NOT
DISCUSSED.
AND THEY ARE ROUTINELY LEFT OUT
OF THAT DISCUSSION.
AND SO WE. IN MY FIELD EDUCATION.
YOU KNOW ME AND MY COLLEAGUES.
WE'RE PRIVILEGED WE COME FROM A
PLACE OF PRIVILEGE.
WE HAVE TREMENDOUS BENEFITS WE
HAVE THE LUXURY OF BEING
EDUCATED.
MANY OF US HAVE TENURE.
MANY OF US.
ARE.
HAD SECURITY OF A DEFINED
BENEFIT RETIREMENT SYSTEM.
THE WORKERS THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HAVE NONE OF THAT.
AND SO WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY
FIGHT AGAINST. THE ARROGANCE
THAT IS BRED BY HAVING THAT
PRIVILEGE. AND SO WE WE FEEL
THAT THE CALIFORNIA COMMITTEE
COLLEGES ARE IN THE BEST PLACE.
TO REACH DOWN AND TO FEEL AND TO
EXPERIENCE AND TO SUPPORT.
THE CHALLENGES THAT OUR WORKERS
ARE HAVING TODAY.
STRANDED WORKERS WHO HAVE BEEN
HISTORICALLY MARGINALIZED BY
TRADITIONAL.
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS MUST BE
GIVEN AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY.
TO PUT THEMSELVES IN OUR ECONOMY
ON A PATH TOWARD GREATER
PROSPERITY AND FINANCIAL
SECURITY.
IF I CAN DRAW YOUR ATTENTION
BACK TO SLIDE SIX WHICH.
.
AMY COST A POINTED OUT SLIDE SIX.
INDICATION SHOWS THE MEDIAN
PERSONAL INCOME BY EDUCATION
ATTAINMENT.
I HAVE TO GO BACK TO THAT SLIDE
BECAUSE. THAT SLIDE JUST DOESN'T
REPRESENT SEVERAL COLORED LINES
IT REPRESENTS PEOPLE.
IT REPRESENTS THE WORKERS THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE TODAY.
THAT IS MUCH AS ME AND MY
COLLEAGUES. IN THE HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES AND I WAS
PROUD TO SERVE. THREE OF THOSE
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES OVER
MY CAREER DO A TREMENDOUS JOB
EVERY SINGLE DAY SERVING OF MORE
THAN TWO MILLION STUDENTS.
BUT MANY OF THE PEOPLE ON THIS
CHART.
HAVE BEEN LEFT OUT.
THROUGH NO FAULT OF OUR GREAT
FACULTY OR COLLEGE
ADMINISTRATORS.
BUT THE FAULT IS OUR SYSTEM OUR
SYSTEM CAN'T REACH THEM.
AND SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE
WORKERS THAT WERE TALKING ABOUT
AND YOU KNOW MANY COMMUNITIES
WILL BE REPRESENTED HERE TODAY
BARS BECAUSE BUT IF YOU THINK
ABOUT THE SAN BERNARDINO
RIVERSIDE. COUNTY AREA.
THERE ARE MORE THAN THREE
HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND.
WORKERS IN THIS CATEGORY THAT
ARE AT THE LOWEST LEVEL. OF
MEDIAN INCOME BECAUSE THEY HAVE.
EITHER A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA
ONLY OR MAYBE A FEW CLASSES IN
COLLEGE AND THEY'RE STRUGGLING.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE GREATER
LA COUNTY AREA THE.
NEARLY A MILLION. OF THESE
WORKERS ARE THERE.
AND SO WE'RE STRUGGLING TO REACH
THEM.
MORE THAN TWO POINT FIVE MILLION
CALIFORNIANS AGES TWENTY FIVE TO
THIRTY FOUR IT'S BEEN POINTED
OUT FIND THEMSELVES IN A CAREER
PLATEAU.
BECAUSE THEY LACK EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES NEEDED FOR
ECONOMIC MOBILITY AND YES WE CAN
ARGUE THAT WE HAVE A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES HERE TO SERVE
THEM.
BUT THE REALITY IS THE MAJORITY
OF THESE ADULT WORKERS CAN'T
DROP EVERYTHING THEY'RE DOING.
THEY CAN'T JUST LEAVE THEIR
CHILDREN AT HOME AND GO TO
COLLEGE BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
AFFORD THE CHILDCARE WE HAVE TO
FIND A BETTER WAY TO REACH THEM
IT IS NOT THE ONLY WAY TO REACH
THEM. THIS IS NOT THE SILVER
BULLET BUT THIS GIVES US ONE
MORE TOOL. ONE MORE TOOL TO
SERVE CALIFORNIANS.
THE MAKE UP OF THE POPULATION
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE IS
FORTY NINE PERCENT LATINO.
THIRTY ONE PERCENT WHITE NINE
PERCENT ASIAN AND SEVEN PERCENT
AFRICAN AMERICAN.
IF WE CONSIDER THE OTHER SIX
POINT TWO MILLION ADULTS BEFORE
BETWEEN THE AGES OF THIRTY FIVE
AND SIXTY FIVE. IT'S A SIMILAR
SITUATION.
THE PROPOSED ONLINE COLLEGE WILL
BREAK DOWN THE HIGHER EDUCATION
BEARS INSTITUTIONAL BIASES THAT
LIMIT LEARNING OPTIONS FOR ALL
CALIFORNIA'S DIVERSE POPULATION.
IT WILL BE COMPENSATED BASE THAT
IS A DEPARTURE FROM THE WAY WE
CURRENTLY OFFER INSTRUCTION.
COMPETENCY BASED WILL ALLOW
WORKING ADULTS. TO LEARN AT
THEIR PACE. TO ENROLL AT ANY%
POINT IN TIME DURING THE.
THE MONTH.
.
ALLOW THEM TO MOVE. AS QUICKLY
AS THEY CAN.
IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR
WORKPLACE OF THEIR HOME OR WHERE
EVER WE CAN PROVIDE ACCESS TO
THE TECHNOLOGY. THEY WILL
RECOGNIZE AND GIVE CREDIT FOR
PRIOR LEARNING.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT ALL THE
WORKING ADULTS WHO COME TO THEIR
JOBS WITH TREMENDOUS PRIOR
LEARNING VETERANS INCLUDED.
WE HAVE A HARD TIME GIVING THEM
CREDIT FOR THAT PRIOR LEARNING.
ACCOMPLI BASED EDUCATION MODEL
WILL ALLOW THEM TO DEMONSTRATE
THAT PRIOR LEARNING IN GIVEN
CREDIT FOR IT.
HE WILL AS I MENTIONED IT WILL
NOT BE TIED TO THE TRADITIONAL
ACADEMIC CALENDAR.
WHICH IS CLEARLY A
DIFFERENTIATING FACTOR FROM OUR
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES. AND
WILL PROVIDE.
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES FOR A
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES TO SEE
HOW THESE NEW LEARNING
TECHNOLOGIES.
DO SERVE WORKING ADULTS AND CAN
FEED A HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES
THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT.
THAT THEY SHOW UP SO DESERVE.
IT WILL BE FULLY SUPPORTED WITH
TUTORING TECHNICAL SUPPORT
ADVISEMENT AND FINANCIAL AID.
IT WILL BRING FACULTY EMPLOYERS.
AND MOST IMPORTANTLY ORGANIZED
LABOR TO THE TABLE SO THAT WE
CAN UNDERSTAND HOW TO BEST SERVE
THEM BECAUSE IT IS ORGANIZED
LABOR. THAT REPRESENTS THE
WORKERS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
HERE.
THEY'RE THE ONES REPRESENTED
THESE WORKERS WHO ARE STRUGGLING
TO SURVIVE IN THIS ECONOMY WE
WANT TO PARTNER WITH THEM WE ONE
UNDERSTAND WHAT SKILLS ARE
WORKERS NEED. AND WE WANT TO
DESIGN AROUND THEIR NEEDS.
WE WANT TO PROVIDE A FLEXIBLE
AND AFFORDABLE FULLY ONLINE
OPTION FOR WORKING ADULTS TO
OBTAIN SHORT TERM CERTIFICATES.
THIS IS ANOTHER DIFFERENTIATING
FACTOR.
AND SO WHEN PEOPLE ASK ME HOW IS
THIS DIFFERENT THAN THE CURRENT
ONLINE OFFERINGS AT OUR COLLEGES
OFFER.
OUR OUR OUR COLLEGES DOING A
TREMENDOUS JOB OUR FACULTY ARE
DOING A MARVELOUS JOB TAKING.
INSTRUCTION THAT HAPPENS IN THE
BRICK AND MORTAR CLASSROOM AND
PUTTING IT. ON A TECHNOLOGY
PLATFORM MAKING IT AVAILABLE FOR
MORE STUDENTS AND AS YOU'VE SEEN
FROM THE DATA.
THE SUCCESS OF THOSE CLASSES IS
IMPROVING.
BUT THESE ARE TRADITIONAL
UNDERGRADUATE CLASS.
THEY CONTINUE TO BE OFFERED IN
THE TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC
CALENDAR LEADING TOWARDHIGHER
LEVEL CERTIFICATES DEGREES. AND
TRANSFER. PREPARATION WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT HERE IS SHORT TERM
SKILLED BASED LEARNING THAT
ALLOWS WORKERS TO GAIN. A LEG UP.
IN THEIR CURRENT PLACE OF WORK
OR ALLOW THEM ACCESS TO
PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES.
THESE ARE SHORT TERM.
CERTIFICATES AND BADGES.
NOT IN COMPETITION WITH THE WORK
THAT OUR COLLEGES ARE CURRENTLY
DOING TO OFFER TYPICAL
UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION.
WITHIN TWO YEARS.
SIXTY FIVE PERCENT OF JOBS IN
THE UNITED STATES WILL REQUIRE
AT LEAST A COLLEGE CREDENTIAL.
ACCORDING TO ESTIMATES BY THE
GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR
EDUCATION AND THE WORKFORCE.
THERE IS A DISPROPORTIONATE
NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
IN THE WORK FORCE WHO CURRENTLY
ARE EMPLOYED.
BUT ARE NOT ADVANCE IN THEIR
CAREERS THAT'S WHO WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE.
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES ON THE
HORIZON SUCH AS ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE. THE RISE OF THE
GIG ECONOMY AND AUTOMATION ARE
CHANGING THE FUTURE OF WORK.
BEFORE OUR EYES AND OUR WORKERS
NEED THE SKILLS NECESSARY TO
SUCCEED.
YOU KNOW THERE ARE A LOT OF.
WORDS BUZZ WORDS THAT ARE USED
WE HEAR THE SOUND BITES ALL THE
TIME.
BUT THESE FORCES THAT ARE JUST
DESCRIBED ARE HAVING A MAJOR
IMPACT ON OUR ECONOMY AND
THEY'RE GOING TO BE FELT EVEN
WORSE.
DURING THE NEXT RECESSION.
I LEAD LONG BE CITY COLLEGE
DURING THE LAST RECESSION.
I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE HAD
PEOPLE POUNDING AND OUR DOORS WE
HAD OVER SEVEN THOUSAND STUDENTS
ON WAIT LISTS TRYING TO GET INTO
GATEWAY COURSES DURING THAT
RECESSION. BECAUSE WHY THEY WERE
DISPLACED FROM THEIR CURRENT
JOBS THEY WERE STRUGGLING TO
FIND THE SKILLS AND THAT IS THE
TIME THAT WE COULDN'T ARE FROM
THOSE COURSES BECAUSE THE CUTS
WE MADE TO PUBLIC EDUCATION.
THIS GIVES US ONE MORE TOOL TO
BETTER DEAL WITH THAT REALITY
THAT WE WILL EVENTUALLY FACE.
TO BE CLEAR WE'RE NOT LOOKING TO
CANNIBALIZE ENROLLMENT OF OUR
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES THAT
IS THE LAST THING I WANT TO DO.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
OUR HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES
THEY ARE DOING A TREMENDOUS JOB
OF THE MANY MANY MANY MISSION
THAT YOU ALL HAVE GIVEN THEM.
AND THERE ARE MANY.
SO I'VE BEEN ASKED WHY NOT PUT
THIS ON TOP.
OF THE IVE SIX SEVEN EIGHT TEN
TWENTY MISSIONS THAT WE'VE
ALREADY GIVEN THEM.
TO DO THAT. IS UNFAIR TO THE
WORKERS THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
AN UNFAIR TO THE FACULTY AND
STAFF OF THE HUNDRED FOURTEEN
COLLEGES WERE STRUGGLING EVERY
DAY. JUST TO DEAL WITH THEIR
PRIMARY MISSION.
AND I KNOW WE'VE HAD
CONVERSATIONS IN THIS ROOM.
ABOUT HOW WELL WE'RE SERVING OUR
PRIMARY MISSION. AND CONCERNS
THAT WE ARE NOT SERVING OUR
PRIMARY MISSION. WHICH IS TO
EDUCATE THOSE THAT ARE IN OUR
DOORS RIGHT NOW.
IF WE ASK THEM TO TAKE ON ONE
MORE MISSION.
I'M AFRAID THAT IT WILL TAKE US
FAR TOO LONG TO REACH THE ADULT
WORKERS THAT WERE TALKING ABOUT
THAT IS WHY WE'RE LOOKING TO
FORM A NEW COLLEGE.
BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THE GREAT FACULTY AND STAFF
THAT ILL BE IN THIS COLLEGE
LIVE AND BREATHE. EVERY SINGLE
DAY EVERY DAY THAT THEY WAKE UP.
THE ADULT WORKERS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT HERE AND THAT IS
THEIR ONLY MISSION.
TO SERVE THOSE WORKERS WE FEEL
THAT THE URGENCY REQUIRES US TO
PUT THESE RESOURCES IN ONE
COLLEGE SO THAT WE CAN HOLD THEM
ACCOUNTABLE. SO THAT WE CAN
CLEARLY SEE SUCCESS AND THAT WE
DON'T HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL YEARS
TO ACCOMPLISH THAT SUCCESS.
I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT. THIS IS AN
ATTEMPT TO SIDESTEP COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING.
AND YOU KNOW I HAVE TO SHAKE MY
HEAD EVERY TIME I HEAR THAT.
THAT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. WE
EXPECT THIS COLLEGE TO ENTER
INTO COLLECTIVE BARGAINING JUST
LIKE WE WOULD ANY OF OUR OTHER
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES.
AND I'VE ALSO HEARD THAT THIS
POPULATION IS INCAPABLE OF
LEARNING ONLINE.
.
THAT TROUBLES ME AS WELL.
BUT WE HAVE TO FIND A SOLUTION
FOR THEM AND WORKING WITH LABOR
PARTNERS WORKING WITH INDUSTRY
PARTNERS WORKING WITH EMPLOYERS
I THINK WE CAN GET THERE. AND BY
THE WAY.
MANY OF THE SKILLS THAT THESE
EMPLOYEES NEED OUR HANDS ON
SKILLS.
WE WOULD PARTNER WITH ANY ONE OF
OUR HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES
THAT SERVES A COMMUNITY WITH
EMPLOYERS AND WITH LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE. THAT
STUDENTS CAN NOT ONLY LEARN
ONLINE BUT CAN DEMONSTRATE THOSE
SKILLS IN PERSON.
THROUGH WORKING WITH THESE
PARTNERS.
AND WITH REGARD TO THE ADVOCACY
OF ONLINE EDUCATION IT'S
INSTRUCTIVE TO LOOK AT THE
SUCCESS OF OUR OWN FACULTY. IN
IMPROVING SUCCESS RATES IN
TRADITIONAL ONLINE COURSES.
THESE ARE THE SAME FACULTY THAT
WILL BE WORKING WITH THIS ONLINE
COLLEGE.
I WILL BEGIN TO WRAP UP HERE
BECAUSE I KNOW OF GOT A LITTLE
LONG.
ANOTHER MYTH YOU WILL
UNDOUBTEDLY HERE. AS I MENTION
IS THAT THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE IS BEST SUITED TO
SERVE THIS POPULATION.
WHILE THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE HAS DONE TREMENDOUS
WORK AND WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT
THEIR WORK.
IT IS FOCUSED ON TRADITIONAL
UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION IN THE
TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC CALENDAR.
IF WE ADD ANOTHER MISSION. TO
THEIR WORK I'M AFRAID THAT IT
WILL FURTHER DELAY.
THEIR PRIMARY MISSION WHICH IS
TO PROVIDE STUDENTS.
FULL PROGRAMS OF STUDY
COMPLETELY ONLINE THROUGH THE
COURSE EXCHANGE.
AS MUCH WORK OF THE DEVIL AS
THEY'VE DONE OVER THE LAST FIVE
YEARS WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A
FULL PROGRAM OF STUDY. ON THE
COURSE EXCHANGE WE WILL GET
THERE.
BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT IF
WE. HAD ONE MORE MISSION TO
THEIR.
AGGRESSIVE TIMELINE THAT WILL
FURTHER DELAY BOTH OF THESE.
SO.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S NOT
ONE SILVER BULLET.
THAT WILL DEAL WITH THE
CHALLENGES OF THESE TWO AND A
HALF MILLION CALIFORNIANS.
.
THERE ARE MANY CHANGES COMING
AND UNDOUBTEDLY WE WILL SEE MORE.
JOBS THAT ARE GOING TO BE
CREATED TWO THREE FOUR FIVE
YEARS FROM NOW ARE NOT.
VISIBLE TODAY.
BUT MY HOPE. IS THAT WE WILL
ENGAGE IN DESIGNING A SOLUTION
TOGETHER.
THAT CAN HELP THESE TWO AND A
HALF MILLION CALIFORNIANS GAIN
THE SKILLS AND CREDENTIALS THAT
THEY NEED.
TO SURVIVE IN THIS ECONOMY.
THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY
ABBY HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH CHANCELLOR
OF APPRECIATED.
.
YEAH.
.
BEFORE I GO TO.
SENATOR PORTENT TINA WHOLE BE
FIRST UP.
I JUST WANNA GET CLARIFICATION
EITHER FROM ACROSS THE ARM OR
THE CHANCELLOR.
AND I APPRECIATE YOUR VERY SAYS
THINK CLEAR ARTICULATION OF THE
GIRLS BECAUSE I HAVE TO SAY
AFTER READING MINISTRATIONS
WHITE PAPER PROPOSED TRADE WITH
THE LANGUAGE ADDING WALK AWAY
WITH THAT SEEMS TO THINK.
CLEARLY AROUND WHAT THE ULTIMATE
GOAL IS.
WHEN THE PAPER.
WE THOUGHT LANGUAGE AROUND
CERTIFICATES BADGES CREDENTIALS
CERTIFICATIONS SUB ASSOCIATE
DEGREE OF WHICH I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT THAT IS. AND SO YOU TALK
ABOUT A SHORT TERM CERTIFICATE.
.
SO.
TWO QUESTIONS WHAT IS A SHORT
TERM CERTIFICATE YOU GIVE ME
EXAMPLES OF WHAT THAT IS BECAUSE
AS WE WERE FOR HER TO.
YOU ARE PASSIONATE PRESENTATION
ABOUT NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THAT
THESE ARE PEOPLE NOT WANTING
THEM TO BE. LEFT BEHIND I'M NOT
SURE HOW A SHORT TERM
CERTIFICATE AS I'M.
AMAZING WHAT THAT IS AS GO MAKE
MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE IN TERMS OF
MOVING PEOPLE FROM ONE LEVEL. OF
POVERTY. UP INTO THE MIDDLE
CLASS THAT YOU TALKED ABOUT THE
WHAT IS THE SHORT TERM
CERTIFICATE GIVE ME EXAMPLES OF
AREAS OF STUDY. THAT WOULD. MAKE
A DIFFERENCE.
THERE ARE NUMBER EXAMPLES
DEPENDING ON THE INDUSTRY SECTOR
WHICH IS WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT
FOR US TO HAVE THE INDUSTRY
PARTNERS THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE IN THE LABOR PARTY
SERVER TALKING ABOUT HERE SO.
FOR EXAMPLE.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT.
THE INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
FIELD. AND JUST HERE IN THE
SACRAMENTO REGION.
WE HAVE.
WERE SERVED BY.
SEIU ONE THOUSAND. THERE ARE
NUMBER OF JOBS WITHIN THOSE
CATEGORIES THAT REQUIRE IN ORDER
HAVE PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
YOU HAVE TO MEET CERTAIN MINIMUM
QUALIFICATIONS. SOME OF THOSE
MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS WE CAN
DESIGN SHORT TERM BADGES AND
CERTIFICATIONS THAT WOULD BE.
RECOGNIZED BY THE EMPLOYER
THAT'S A PRETTY LEAR EXAMPLE
BUT IF YOU THINK ABOUT.
.
DR MICHAEL CURSED AS RECENTLY
WROTE A BOOK ABOUT SEX TEN
O'CLOCK ACCOUNTING AND THE
NUMBER. OF. THE THE LACK OF
SUPERVISORY SKILLS THAT EXIST.
YOU KNOW ON THE FLOORS OF IT
MANUFACTURERS.
WE COULD PROVIDE SHORT TERM
TRAINING FOR THESE INDIVIDUALS
THAT ALLOWS THEM THE SKILLS TO
PROMOTE UP TO SUPERVISORY
POSITIONS THE SAME WOULD BE TRUE
ACROSS A LOT OF THE SERVICE.
INDUSTRY RETAILS ANOTHER GREAT
EXAMPLE OF WE KNOW THAT THE
IMPACT OF AUTOMATION IS HAVING A
TREMENDOUS EFFECT ON RETAIL. UP
WE WOULD BE WORKING WITH LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS AS WELL AS
EMPLOYERS TO PROVIDE THE SHORT
TERM CREDENTIALS THEY HAVE TO BE
RECOGNIZED BY THE EMPLOYER THAT
IS A CRITICAL COMPONENT. THAT
ALLOWS A PROMOTIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES. AND IF WE DO THIS
WELL AND DO IT RIGHT. THESE
INDIVIDUALS CAN STACK THOSE
CREDENTIALS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER
THAT WILL LEAD. TO THEM
PARTICIPATING IN HIGHER LEVEL
DEGREES IN CREDENTIALS WITHIN
OUR HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES SO
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE SPECTRUM
OF EDUCATION THAT WE CURRENTLY
PROVIDE WE ARE LACKING
OPPORTUNITIES ON THIS END OF THE
SPECTRUM. WE BEGIN WITH SORT OF
CERTIFICATES THAT WE'RE OFFERING
AT THE TRADITIONAL HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES. BUT WE'RE
HAVING A CHALLENGE BEYOND THAT
DOWNSTREAM OF THAT SO WE WANT TO
PROVIDE THEM WITH THE SEARCHER
SHORT TERMCREDENTIALS THAT THEY
CAN BUILD ON TOP OF WHAT WE
CALLED STACKING.
AND HAVE THEM LEAD TOWARD HIGHER
CREDENTIALS AND WE THINK WILL
INCREASE THE ENROLLMENT OF THE
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES SO AS
I SAID THERE'S NO SILVER BULLET
HERE. BUT IT GIVES THEM AN ENTRY
INTO THE KINDS OF SKILLS THAT
THEY WOULD NEED TO SURVIVE SO
THIS WILL ALLOW ME TO ATTAIN
SKILLS TO PROMOTE WITHIN MY
CURRENT INDUSTRY. THIS IS NOT A
SCENARIO WHERE IF I'M CURRENTLY
IN FOOD SERVICE DELIVERY AND I
DECIDE I WANT TO BE A EARLY CARE
AND EDUCATION PROFESSIONAL. THAT
I DIDN'T GO TO THE PROGRAM AND
GET A WHOLE NEW SKILL SET THIS
IS TO ALLOW ME TO MOVE UP. IN
THE AREA THAT I'M WRKING NOW TO
AS YOU SAID STACK. THAT WOULD BE
FINE IF YOU'LL FOCUS NOW IN THE
CASE IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENED THE LAST RECESSION SOME
INDUSTRIES WERE COMPLETELY
DEVASTATED AND SO WE HAD
DISPLACED WORKERS.
WE COULD CERTAINLY A PARTNER
WITH EMPLOYERS THAT HAVE A LACK
OF EMPLOYEES AND HELP DISPLACED
WORKERS. BURN SOME OF THOSE
SKILLS TO GET AN ENTRY LEVEL JOB.
BUT THE REALITY IS THAT THESE
KINDS OF SKILLS AND AND BADGES
AND CREDENTIALS ARE GEARED
TOWARD HELPING SOMEBODY STAY
EMPLOYED OR HELPING THE PROMOTER.
THANK YOU I WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT I SAW ALL THE HANDS RAISED
WERE GONNA START WITH SENATOR
PORTENT TINO AND I SAW A GLAZIER
NIELSEN MORLOCKS STONE MCGUIRE.
GREAT CENTER FOURTEEN NOW. THANK
YOU THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
AND I DO.
ECHO YOUR COMMENT ABOUT IT
BEING A PASSIONATE PRESENTATION
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S.
CERTAINLY A COMMON GROUND HERE
THAT EVERYONE WANTS TO.
FRANKLY GIVE OPPORTUNITY TO THAT
SEGMENT OF THE POPULATION THE
TWO POINT FIVE MILLION PEOPLE
WHO ARE. CURRENTLY FEEL LIKE
THERE'S NO OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM
TO TO TO MOVE UP AND AND SUCCEED.
FIVE A COUPLE SORT OF BIG
PICTURE QUESTIONS AND I HAVE A
COUPLE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT
TO DROP DOWN. BUT YOU KNOW MY MY
FUNDAMENTAL BIG PICTURE QUESTION
IS LOOKING AT THE STAFF REPORT
LOOKING AT YOU KNOW WHAT WE'RE
CURRENTLY DOING THERE'S THIRTY
THREE.
CURRENT DISTRICTS THAT ARE
OFFERING SOME FORM. OF ONLINE.
CLASSES.
AND WE'RE TOUGH TALKING ABOUT
CREATING A SEPARATE ONLINE A
COLLEGE. AND I GUESS
FUNDAMENTALLY FOR ME IS OUT OF
THOSE THERE SORT OF A CYNICAL
ASSUMPTION IN ALL OF THIS OUT
POTENTIALLY. GOES OUT OF THOSE
THIRTY THREE.
COLLEGES THAT ARE OFFERING
ONLINE CLASSES SOME OF THEM MUST
BE DOING SOMETHING WELL.
AND SOME OF THEM MUST BE DOING
WHERE THEY NEED HELP.
AND TO ME THAT IF THE
FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION IS WHY DO
WE JUST NEED TO CREATE A NEW
COLLEGE IF.
SOMEBODY'S DOING IT WELL WE
SHOULD BE HELPING THEM DO IT
BETTER AND IF SOMEBODY'S NOT
DOING IT WELL. WE SHOULD BE
PUTTING RESOURCES INTO HELPING
THEM DO IT BETTER VERSUS JUST
SAYING ALRIGHT YOU GUYS ARE
DOING IT AND WE'RE GOING TO GO
DO SOMETHING ELSE. THERE THERE'S
AN AND COULD BE AN INHERENT
CYNICISM IN THAT. THAT WE DON'T
THINK THEY CAN HANDLE THIS OR WE
DON'T WANT TO HELP THEM DO IT
BETTER AND I JUST I'M SORT OF
STRUGGLING BIG PICTURE. YOU KNOW
IN YOUR PRESENTATION YOU SAID
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO BURDEN THEM
WITH AN ADDITIONAL MISSION. BUT
WHEN I TALK TO THE COLLEGE
PRESIDENTS WHO HAVE ONLINE
PROGRAMS WHO FEEL THEY'RE DOING
IT WELL THEY'RE SAYING. WE'D
RATHER HAVE THE RESOURCES COME
TO HELP US EXPAND AND DO IT
BETTER AND I JUST I JUST REALLY
NEED A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF
WHY WE FUNDAMENTALLY NEED TO
CREATE SOMETHING TOTALLY NEW. IF
THERE ARE THIRTY THREE DISTRICTS
DOING ONLINE EDUCATION SO HE
COULD REALLY GIVE ME A A STRONG
ANSWER OF WHY THIS IS NECESSARY.
FROM A PHILOSOPHICAL PERSPECTIVE
I REALLY APPRECIATED THAT I HAVE
OBVIOUSLY SOME MORE.
I THINK THAT'S A. VERY FAIR
QUESTION AND.
THIS A COUPLE OF ANSWERS TO
THAT.
FIRST OF ALL.
WHETHER THIRTY THREE DISTRICTS
FIFTY DISTRICTS WHATEVER THE
COUNTY IS. THERE'S A LOT OF
GREAT WORK BEING DONE. ON OUR
COLLEGE CAMPUSES TO SERVE THE
CURRENT MISSION.
OF PROVIDING QUALITY. EDUCATION
AT THE UNDERGRADUATE LEVEL.
THE ONLINE COURSES THAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT ARE GEARED TOWARD
UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION.
AND WE STILL HAVE WHAT WE'RE
DOING GREAT WORK WE HAVE A LONG
WAYS TO GO AND WE NEED TO INVEST
MORE SO.
I REJECT. THE. THE CHOICE THAT
WERE GIVEN HERE THAT WE HAVE TO
CHOOSE ONE OR CHOOSE THE OTHER.
WE CAN CHOOSE BOTH.
BECAUSE. THE TWO ARE NOT IN
COMPETITION.
THE TWO ARE DIFFERENT SPECTRUMS
OF EDUCATION. AND LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES BUT SO. ANY OTHER
THING I WOULD RAISE. IS LET'S
SAY WE TOOK THAT HUNDRED TWENTY
MILLION DOLLARS AND SPREAD IT
OVER THIRTY THREE FIFTY
DISTRICTS.
THAT'S ABOUT THREE MILLION
DOLLARS.
DO WE REALLY BELIEVE.
THE THREE MILLION DOLLARS IS
GOING TO GET US TO THE OUTCOMES
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE
AND THAT THAT'S. NOT A KNOCK ON
MY COLLEAGUES.
BUT.
THEY ARE STRUGGLING.
WITH THE MONEY THAT THEY HAVE TO
KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND THAT
THEY HAVE. WE HAVE TWO POINT ONE
MILLION STUDENTS.
THE AMOUNT OF ONLINE OF
ENROLLMENT IN ONLINE EDUCATION
CONTINUES TO INCREASE. AT THE
SAME TIME THE ENROLLMENT. OF
CLASSROOM EDUCATION IS
DECREASING SO WE ARE REPLACING
ONLINE EDUCATION FOR TRADITIONAL
CLASSROOM EDUCATION BUT WE'RE
NOT EXPANDING THE POT.
WE'RE NOT SERVING MORE STUDENTS
WITH ALL OF THAT WORK.
AND SO THAT'S WHAT CONCERNS ME.
I'M ASKING YOU TO ALLOW US TO
FOCUS THESE RESOURCES ON ONE
MISSION ONE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN
CALL ME BACK. AND ASK WHAT IS
GOING ON WITH THAT MONEY.
IF WE DO IT AND SPREAD IT OUT
OVER THIRTY THREE FIFTY SIXTY
DISTRICTS I'M GONNA HAVE A HARD
TIME TELLING YOU WHAT PROGRESS
WE'RE MAKING.
BECAUSE THERE MAY BE INCREMENTAL
CHANGES HAPPENING IN SPECIFIC
COMMUNITIES WHERE. THERE IS A
COLLEGE PRESIDENT WHO IS
EMPHASIZING THIS.
BUT FROM A SCALABLE STATEWIDE
PERSPECTIVE WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
HARD TIME REACHING THESE
CALIFORNIANS.
IF I MAY SENATOR.
FROM A BUDGETARY STANDPOINT AND
WE'VE HAD A PRETTY ACTIVE LAST
COUPLE OF YEARS DRIVEN BY
HEALTHY REVENUES AN INTERN
HEALTHY PROP NINETY EIGHT
GUARANTEE. IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SPACE AS THE CHANCELLOR
MENTIONED WE'VE HAD SOME MAJOR
INITIATIVES IN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ON STRONG WORK FORCE
BUILDING A MORE REGIONAL MODEL
I'M TOWARD SERVING THOSE
STUDENTS. WE'VE REVAMPED BASIC
SKILLS. WE'VE MOVED TO MULTIPLE
MEASURES.
FOR STUDENTS ENTERING THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE ON AND AND BAD.
SIGNIFICANT EMPHASIS ON STUDENT
SUCCESS AND SO THIS PROPOSAL IS
AN OUTGROWTH ACTUALLY OF THE
GOVERNOR'S REQUEST TO LOOK AT
DIFFERENT MODELS AND THIS WAS
ONE OF THE MODELS IDENTIFIED BY
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS. AND
CERTAINLY ONE OF THE THINGS WE
WADE WAS TO THE CHANCELLOR'S
POINT WE'VE GIVEN THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE IS A LOT OF WORK IN
SHORT ORDER AT EACH OF THEIR
CAMPUSES. ADDITIONALLY MANY OF
THE SURVEYS OF ONLINE COURSES
THAT EXIST RIGHT NOW I BELIEVE
THERE'S OVER FOURTEEN THOUSAND.
DO INDICATE THAT ONE OF THE
SHORTCOMINGS IS THE LACK OF
COORDINATION THE LACK OF
CENTRALIZATION ON AND
SPECIFICALLY FOR THIS TARGET
COMMUNITY WE FELT THAT WAS
IMPORTANT.
NOT ACTUALLY LEADS ME TO MY
SECOND QUESTION WHICH USED SET
UP NICELY IS THE WRECKED THERE
WERE FOUR RECOMMENDATIONS THAT
CAME OUT OF THAT. DISCUSSION.
AND I AGREE WITH THE CHANCE OF
THAT SPREADING IT OUT OVER
THIRTY THREE OR FORTY DISTRICTS
THE MONEY DOESN'T HAVE THE
ECONOMIES OF SCALE. BUT THE
SECOND RECOMMENDATION ACTUALLY
HAVING A CONSORTIUM OF COLLEGE
IS A SMALL GROUP OF COLLEGES
AGAIN THAT ARE. CONCEIVABLY
DOING THIS WELL AND HAVE THEM
CREATE THE STATEWIDE FRAMEWORK
AS A SMALLER GROUP SO YOU GET
THE BENEFIT OF THE ECONOMIES OF
SCALE YOU GET THE BENEFIT OF THE
EXPERTISE.
TO ME THAT SEEM LIKE.
BUT THE GOOD HYBRID APPROACH
WANTING TO CREATE SOMETHING NEW
BUT BUILDING ON SUCCESS WHY WAS
THAT SECOND RECOMMENDATION. SORT
OF NOT TAKEN AND WHY WAS THIS
ONE WHY IS THIS ONE BETTER THAN
THAT WHICH TO ME SEEMS TO BE A
BETTER. RECOMMENDATION.
SO. I FEEL.
AND.
THE CHANCES OF SPORT GOVERNMENT
FELT.
AND APPARENTLY THE GOVERNMENT
FELT THAT.
THE RECOMMENDATION IS BEFORE YOU.
A DOES BRING TOGETHER. AN
OPPORTUNITY BUILD ON WHAT'S
ALREADY BEEN DONE.
BUT WITH INITIAL CENTRAL FOCUS
TO GET IT OFF THE GROUND WE HAVE
SET A VERY AGGRESSIVE TIMELINE.
TO ENROLL THE FIRST COHORT OF
STUDENTS BY THE END OF TWENTY
NINETY.
IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO ACHIEVE
THAT KIND OF SPEED.
WITH THE CONSORTIUM MODEL IF YOU
THINK ABOUT THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE WHICH IS A CONSORTIUM
MODEL. AND YOU KNOW AGAIN
THEY'RE DOING TREMENDOUS WORK.
WE ARE FIVE YEARS INTO THE
ONLINE EDUCATION INITIATIVE.
AND WE'RE STILL NOT ACHIEVING
THE GOALS THAT WE SET OUT FOR IT.
OUT SO WE BELIEVE IN THIS MODEL
WE CAN HAVE. THE OPPORTUNITY TO
GET IT UP AND RUNNING AND THEN
REACH OUT.
TWO COLLEGES LIKE.
LIKE WE HAVE IN SAN DIEGO IN
NORTH ORANGE COUNTY IN SAN
FRANCISCO WHO ARE DOING
TREMENDOUS WORK REACHING ADULT
POPULATIONS AND ADDING TO THEIR
CAPACITY.
THIS IS NOT. AN ISOLATED COLLEGE
SOME PEOPLE WOULD SUGGEST THIS
IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE
CAPACITY FOR ALL THE COLLEGES
INTRODUCING TECHNOLOGY IN A WAY
THAT CENTRALIZED.
CENTRAL LICENSING CENTRAL
OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE EXPERTISE
AND MAKING IT AVAILABLE IN
REGIONS.
SO WE THINK WE CAN GET A LITTLE
BIT OF BOTH.
AND MY CONCERN. PRIMARILY IS
THE SPEED AT WHICH WE CAN SERVE
THESE TWO AND A HALF MILLION.
WORKERS.
I'M VERY CONCERNED THAT IF WE
WAIT TWO OR THREE OR FOUR YEARS
TO GET TO A POINT WHERE WE CAN
SERVE THEM. WE'RE GONNA BE IN
THE MIDDLE OF THE NEXT RECESSION
AND WE WILL NOT HAVE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE READY.
TO SERVE THEM.
DID YOU WANT TO COME IN OR YOU
WANT TO GO ON.
I'M THE ONLY OTHER UPCOMING I
WOULD SAY WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT ANOTHER PROPOSAL IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET ON COMMUNITY
COLLEGES BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THE
PROPOSED FUNDING FORMULA FOR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WORKS IN
CONCERT WITH THIS.
ONE OF THE CRITIQUES THAT WE'VE
HEARD.
INITIALLY IS THIS IDEA OF
CANNIBALIZATION AND I THINK IT
ALSO GETS TO THIS POINT AND THIS
ISN'T A ZERO SUM GAME MORE HAS
TO BE SPONSORED BY ONE
PARTICULAR COLLEGE. IS ABOUT
TARGETING. THE SERVICES WE
PROVIDE AND WHEN WE'RE NOT ALL
CHASING AFTER THE ENROLLMENT
DOLLARS AND THIS TYPE OF A MODEL.
I THINK IT MAKES THE CREATION OF
A NEW COLLEGE FOR THIS PURPOSE.
A MUCH EASIER A AS THE
CHANCELLOR INDICATED A PROBABLY
A FASTER PROCESS ON TO GET TO
THESE INDIVIDUALS. IN A TIMELY
MANNER GIVEN THAT WE THINK THE
NEXT RECESSION IS ON THE WAY.
YOU ACTUALLY SET UP MY NEXT
SORT OF BIG PICTURE QUESTION. IS.
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SORT OF
DESCRIBING IS THE INCUBATOR
MODEL YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE IT OUT SO WE CAN CREATE
SOMETHING. BUT.
YOU WERE ALSO ONCE YOU CREATE IT.
THE GOVERNMENT'S PEACE. YOU'RE
NOT CREATING IT AND THEN HANDING
IT BACK. YOU STILL WANT YOU WANT
TO CREATE IT. AND THEN YOU WANNA
TRY TO HAVE AN IT SORT OF AN
APPOINTED THE BOARD WHICH ISN'T
REALLY TASKED WITH.
OVERSEEING A COLLEGE HAVING
APPOINTEES.
I I COULD SEE THAT MODEL BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY HIGH TECH AND OTHER
YOU KNOW SILICON VALLEY USING
DEBATERS THEY CREATE SOMETHING
SPECIAL OUTSIDE OF THE
REGULATION OUTSIDE OF. YOU KNOW
THE THE BUREAUCRACY BUT THEN
THEY THEN PASS IT OFF AND SO YOU
REALLY HAVEN'T DEFINED SORT OF
THE END GAME. IF YOU COULD TOUCH
UPON HOW YOU SEE IT PROGRESS
FROM INCUBATION. TOO PRACTICAL
AND THEN TOUCH UPON WHY THIS
GOVERNMENT MA OR GOVERNANCE
MODEL MAKES SENSE WHY NOT GIVE
IT BACK TO THE CONSORTIUM WHICH
YOU CREATED.
I THINK THAT'S A A VERY
APPROPRIATE QUESTION SO LET ME
CLARIFY.
.
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FIRST OF
ALL SOME LEGAL STRUCTURES THAT
HAVE TO BE DEALT WITH.
THERE HAS TO BE A DISTRICT SET
UP SOME GOVERNING.
BODY.
THAT WOULD QUALIFY FOR
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT FUNDS.
AND SO THE INITIAL.
ANSWER TO THAT THAT WE HAVE
PROPOSED IS TO CREATE IT WITHIN
THE STRUCTURE OF THE THE BOARD
OF GOVERNORS OF THE CALIFORNIA
ME COLLEGES. BUT LET ME BE CLEAR.
IT IS NOT WE'RE NOT PROPOSING
THAT THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS
CONTINUE. TO BE THE OVERSIGHT
BODY FOR THIS. WE EXPECTED TO
BECOME ITS OWN INDEPENDENT
DISTRICT STANDING ON ITS OWN.
AND CERTAINLY IN DISCUSSIONS
WITH THIS BODY IN THE ASSEMBLY
AND OTHERS FIGURING OUT WHAT IS
THE APPROPRIATE. GOVERNANCE
STRUCTURE WHAT WE HAVE PROPOSED.
IS TO CREATE AN INDEPENDENT
DISTRICT. THAT SERVES THE STATE
IF YOU THINK ABOUT HOW WE'RE
ORGANIZED NOW WE HAVE SEVENTY
TWO DISTRICTS.
THEY'RE ORGANIZED AROUND
SPECIFIC LOCATIONS OF THE STATE.
THE LONG BEACH COMMUNICATES
DISTRICT WAS MEANT TO SERVE FOR
COMMUNITIES LAKEWOOD LONG BEACH
AVALON IN SIGNAL HILL.
THAT WAS THEIR MISSION.
THERE IS NO DISTRICT ORGANIZE TO
SERVE THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
SO THAT IS IT A STRUGGLE THAT WE
HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE LEGAL
ENTITY HOW DO YOU CREATE THE
PROPER REPRESENTATION. AND WE'RE
VERY OPEN TO.
ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS ON HOW
TO BEST DO THAT BUT. IT IS NOT
THE INTENT AT LEAST NOT MY
INTENT. THAT THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS CONTINUE TO BE THE
ONLY. GOOD GOVERNANCE SYSTEM FOR
THAT BUT TO GET IT OFF THE
GROUND TO GET IT GOING TO BE
ABLE TO HIRE TO BE ABLE TO
CREATE LICENSING. WE NEED TO BE
UNDER SOME GOVERNING STRUCTURE
AND THE ONE GOVERNING STRUCTURE
THAT WE KNOW AS RESPONSIBILITY
OVER THE ENTIRE STATE IS THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS BUT LONG TERM
YOU PLAN TO KEEP IT INDEPENDENT.
FROM THE.
THIRTY THREE DISTRICTS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY DOING A WE WOULD PLAN
TO CREATE A SEVENTY THIRD
DISTRICT RIGHT.
YES.
OKAY.
AND THEN MY LAST SORT OF BIG
PICTURE QUESTION AND THEN WITH
THE INDULGENCE OF THE COMMITTEE
HAVE SOME SPACE YOU KNOW DRILL
DOWN QUESTIONS. SO YOU TALKED
ABOUT.
YOU KNOW WHEN YOU DO AN ONLINE
COURSE THERE'S SOME LAB
COMPONENT THERE SOME TACTILE
TACTFUL.
PIECES TO THE CERTIFICATE
PROGRAMS EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AN
ONLINE AND THEN YOU ALSO TOUCH
UPON THE SUPPORT SERVICES THAT
ARE NECESSARY COUNSELLING. YOU
KNOW PHYSICAL PLANT CLASSROOM
YOU KNOW AND YOU TALK ABOUT
NEEDING TO CONTRACT THOSE AGAIN
I COME BACK TO WHY IS IT BETTER
TO CREATE NEW CONTRACTS. VERSUS
USING SCHOOLS THAT ARE ALREADY.
HAVE THE FACILITIES ON CAMPUS.
THAT ALREADY HAVE ONLINE
PROGRAMS IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
TURN AROUND AND CONTRACT WITH
THEM WHEN IT ISN'T IT BETTER TO
WORK WITH THEM. UPSTREAM ON THE
CREATION OF THE PROGRAM VERSUS
CREATING A PROGRAM AND THEN
GOING AND SEARCHING FOR PARTNERS
IS IN A BETTER PARTNER WITH THEM
AT THE BEGINNING THAT'S.
WHAT WILL FIRST OF ALL WE
CERTAINLY EXPECT TO PARTNER WITH
THE COLLEGES FROM THE BEGINNING
I MEAN? IF YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH IS
REACHING WORKERS IN PARTICULAR
INDUSTRIES THAT HAVE A JOB
SKILLS NEED.
IN ORDER TO DO THAT WE HAVE TO
BREAK DOWN THE STATE BY REGIONS
WE HAVE TO IDENTIFY AND
PARTICULARLY WITH THE WORK THAT
WE'VE DONE TO STRONG WORK FORCE
AND IF YOU THINK ABOUT STRONG
WORK FORCE IT'S IT'S NOT.
THRONG THE STRONG WORKFORCE
INITIATIVE DOESN'T RELY ON
SINGLE COLLEGES IS BELOW LIGHTS
ON REGIONS.
COMING TOGETHER. SO WE WOULD
WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE
WORKING WITH. DEPENDING ON THE
JOB SKILLS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO
PROVIDE.
IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE BUILDING
TRADES IF WE ARE PROVIDING
SUPPORT FOR JOURNEYMEN WE WOULD
EXPECT TO PARTNER WITH THE
BUILDING TRADES THEY HAVE
INFRASTRUCTURE. THEY HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ALLOW FOR THE
DEMONSTRATION OF SKILL
ATTAINMENT. IN A PERSONAL LA TRADE TECH IS A GREAT
EXAMPLE. IF THAT'S THE CASE IN
THE LA REGION WE WOULD WANT TO
WORK WITH LA TRADE TECH SO WE
WANNA ADD TO THE CAPACITY NOT
TAKE AWAY FROM IT'S MUCH MORE
DIFFICULT. FOR A COLLEGE IN A
PARTICULAR AREA TO REACH OUT TO
THE LARGER REGION. OF THE END
FOR US A STATEWIDE ENTITY WHOSE
JOB IT IS TO BUILD THE
PARTNERSHIPS WITH STATEWIDE
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS.
EMPLOYER PARTNERS.
INDUSTRY TRADE ASSOCIATIONS AND
THEN REGIONAL LIES A WORK SO I
UNDERSTAND. THE ARGUMENT BUT I
THINK WE CAN ACHIEVE BOTH.
WITHOUT COMPROMISING THE GREAT
WORK AND AND THE OPPORTUNITIES
THAT EXIST WITHIN. A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES THAT HAVE SOME
UNIQUE. FACILITIES AND SOME
UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES TO PARTNER
WITH THE KINDS OF WORKERS THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
I'M MR DARDEN DINO CRISIS A FEW
QUICK QUESTION GIVE ME A SENSE
OF HOW MANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE
BECAUSE WE JUST WE'RE GONNA LOSE
SOME COMMITTEE MEMBERS SO I WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU GET TO
AFRICA BEFORE THEY LEAVE. OR
MORE.
AND AND THEY'RE NOT DEALING WITH
GOVERNMENTS AND LOCAL
STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVE THEY'RE
ALL FOR THIS GROUP OKAY GO AHEAD
THANKS.
.
ON THE ACCREDITATION PIECE.
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A NEW COLLEGE
EVERYTHING T NEEDS EVERYTHING
IT'S GOING TO CREATE. IS NEW AND
IS NOT ACCREDITED. HOW DO YOU
SEE THE TIME FRAME OF THAT HOW
DO YOU SEE THE PRACTICAL YOU
KNOW WHAT DOES THAT DO TO YOUR
TWO YEAR TIME FRAME AND TO
DELIVER A BALL? AND AGAIN I COME
BACK TO WHAT IT BE EASIER TO USE.
SOMEBODY IN THE CONSORTIUM MORE
OR THEIR SECOND RECOMMENDATION
TO GET ACCREDITED AND UP AND
RUNNING QUICKER.
SO A ACCREDITATION I MEAN WE
HAVE EVERY EXPECTATION THAT WE
WILL BEGIN WORKING WITH YOUR
CREDITORS FROM DAY ONE.
AND.
.
AS WELL AS WORKING WITH THE
FACULTY THAT.
WOULD BE DESIGNING THE
CURRICULUM.
AND FROM THE EARLY STAGES WILL
ENSURE THAT WE SET UP THE PATHS
TO SECURE ACCREDITATION. JUST
LIKE.
ANY NEW COLLEGE WOULD HAVE TO DO
THE SAME THING.
.
THE KINDS OF STUDENTS THAT WERE
TALKING ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE TO
IT TO REMEMBER HERE IS THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO CREATE INDUSTRY
VALUE RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
NOT CREATE UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE
PROGRAMS THAT EVENTUALLY LEAD T
TRANSFER. WE WANT TO CREATE
INDUSTRY VALUE FROM THE
BEGINNING. SO ACCREDITATION IS
CERTAINLY AN EXPECTATION OF OURS
BUT IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT
WOULD PREVENT US.
FROM DELIVERING THAT VALUE ON
DAY ONE. OUT SO WE HAVE EVERY
EXPECTATION THAT.
BY THE END OF TWENTY NINETEEN WE
WILL ENROLL THE FIRST COHORT.
AND WE WILL BEGIN WORK WORKING
WITH YOUR CREDITORS TO QUICKLY
GET THIS CALL TO COURT
ACCREDITED. I ENSURE THAT THE
STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO FEDERAL
FINANCIAL AID THE CAL GRANT
SYSTEM THEY WOULD HAVE ACCESS TO.
THE.
COLLEGE PROMISE GRANT FROM DAY
ONE.
BUT YES I MEAN CERTAINLY THERE
IS AN ARGUMENT TO BE MADE THAT
IF WE CAME UNDER SOMEBODY ELSE'S
ACCREDITATION. THAT COULD SOLVE
SOME OF THOSE ISSUES.
BUT AGAIN TO DO THAT WE WOULD
HAVE TO PUT THIS COLLEGE IN A
PARTICULAR DISTRICT UNDER THE
AUSPICES OF PARTICULAR COLLEGE.
AND SO THERE ARE A NUMBER OF
ISSUES THAT COME UP WITH THE IF
IF IF I COULD TAKE THE EXAMPLE.
OF THE COAST COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT BECAUSE COMMITTEE
COLLEGE DISTRICT.
SOONER MORE LOCKED AS THREE
COLLEGES ONE OF THOSE COLLEGES
IS THE COLLEGE WITHOUT WALLS
COASTLINE COLLEGE WHICH I SERVED
IN THE HOUSE COMMITTEE COLLEGE
DISTRICT. IT IS A TREMENDOUS
COLLEGE.
BUT IT COMPETES FOR RESOURCES
WITH THE OTHER TWO COLLEGES.
SO IF WE PUT IT IN ANOTHER
DISTRICT WE ARE IMMEDIATELY
CREATING COMPETITION WITHIN THAT
DISTRICT AND I WANT TO TRY TO
AVOID THAT AT ALL COSTS I DON'T
WANT TO CREATE ANY COMPETITION.
WITH ANY OF OUR EXISTING
WORRIED ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT
THIS NEW COLLEGE WOULD SUCK
RESOURCES FROM THERE ALREADY
BURDENED MISSION.
THANK YOU ON PAGE SIX OF OUR
ANALYSIS.
WELL LET ME THROUGHOUT THE
ANALYSIS IT TALKED ABOUT THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP ISSUES AND I
KNOW. WE WERE TOLD IT'S
IMPROVING BUT.
.
SIGNIFICANTLY THERE'S AT CURRENT
ACHIEVEMENT GAP BETWEEN ITS I I
HAD THE WRONG PAGE SO DON'T GO
TO PAGE SIX. I'LL GET TO PAGE
SIX OF THE SECOND.
THEIR SIGNIFICANT ACHIEVEMENT
GAP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN STUDENTS
AND CURRENT ONLINE COURSES.
WHO VERSUS STUDENTS IN A CHAIR?
AND THEN THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT
ACHIEVEMENT GAPS BETWEEN
UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES IN
PARTICULAR BLACK AND LATINO
STUDENTS.
WITH ONLINE COURSES.
AS SOON AS WE KNOW THIS TO BE
TRUE AND FACTUAL AND A PROBLEM.
I DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE
ORIGINAL PROPOSAL OF THE NEW THE
PROPOSAL. TOHIT THAT RIGHT FROM
THE GET GO YOU KNOW HOW ARE WE
IF IF AND THAT'S WERE PAID SIX.
COMES INTO EFFECT WHERE YOU KNOW
OUT OF THE TWO POINT FIE
MILLION PEOPLE WERE TARGETING.
IT SAYS THESE INDIVIDUALS TEND
TO BE LOWER INCOME AND UNDER
REPRESENTED MINORITIES WHO WE
KNOW ARE THE MOST ACHIEVEMENT
GAP AFFECTED STUDENTS IF THAT'S
OUR TARGET POPULATION.
SHOULDN'T WE BE IN THIS PROPOSAL
FROM THE BEGINNING.
BE ADDRESSING HOW WE'RE GOING TO
ADDRESS THAT. PROBLEM AND MAKE
THIS SUCCESSFUL WHERE WE KNOW
FROM THE PAST THAT'S OUR BIGGEST
CHALLENGE.
IF NOT A LIAR LAID FIRST BALL AS
THEY SAID IN THE BEGINNING BASED
ON THE CHAIR'S COMMENTS WERE
ABSOLUTELY COMMITTED TO ACCESS
AND SUCCESS IN THIS PROPOSAL AND
I THINK IT'S A FAIR POINT TO
POINT THROUGHOUT ALL OF
EDUCATION OBVIOUSLY ACHIEVEMENT
GAPS WE TALK ABOUT THE CASE.
TWELVE SIDED HOUSES WHILE. I
WOULD KNOW THOUGH AND IN SOME
WAYS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT I'M
SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT THINGS TO
SOME OF THE STATISTICS THAT ARE
CITED ARE. MORE TRADITIONAL
STUDENTS THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT. ADDITIONALLY A LOT THE
CHANCE OR SPEAK ABOUT IT MORE I
THINK FUNDAMENTALLY THE NATURE
OF WHAT WE'RE DOING IS SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT. MORE TALKING ABOUT
SHORT BURST. CREDENTIALS ON SOME
OF WHICH IS VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT
PEOPLE DO IN THEIR WORK THROUGH
PROFESSIONAL. DEVELOPMENT AND
TRAINING ONLINE COURSES I MEAN I
CERTAINLY HAVE THEM IN THE STATE.
SO.
I THINK WE'RE DEFINITELY
COGNIZANT OF ACHIEVING CASH GAP
ISSUES AS WE ARE THROUGHOUT ALL
OF OUR EDUCATIONAL PROPOSALS. ON
BUT I DO WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THEY
THINK THE THE POPULATION IS
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT.
I WOULD JUST ADD A COUPLE OF
THINGS.
I'M SO FIRST OF ALL ABSOLUTELY
CENTER PORTENT TINO.
IT IS THE PRIMARY CONCERN TO
ENSURE THAT WE ADDRESS THE NEEDS
OF THESE STUDENTS AND THAT IS
WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO
WORK WITH EMPLOYER PARTNERS. AND
LABOR ORGANIZATIONS TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS IN THE
SKILLS SPECIFICALLY THAT THESE
INDIVIDUALS HALF AND TO PROVIDE
THE SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED.
THE OTHER THING I WOULD SAY IS
THAT JUST FOR OUR TRADITIONAL
ONLINE COURSES. IN TWO THOUSAND
AND SIX THAT WITH A TWELVE POINT
DIFFERENCE IN SUCCESS RATE. ON
TRADITIONAL ONLINE EDUCATION
TODAY IT'S LESS THAN FIVE
PERCENT. WE CAN CLOSE THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
AND THEN THE LAST THING I'D SAY
IS. YOU KNOW IT'S T'S ALWAYS
CURIOUS TO ME WHEN THIS ISSUE
COMES UP BECAUSE IF WE LOOK AT
OUR TRADITIONAL DELIVERY MODEL
TODAY WHAT WE DO IN OUR
CLASSROOM TODAY.
WE HAVE A HUGE ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
HUGE.
WE ARE NOT WELL REPRESENTING
AFRICAN AMERICANS OR LATINO
STUDENTS ARE SOUTHEAST ASIANS
ASIAN STUDENTS TODAY.
BUT ARE WE TALKING ABOUT
ABANDONING THAT NO.
WE CONTINUE TO WORK AND THIS
GIVES US ONE MORE TOOL TO TRY TO
ADDRESS ADDRESS ACHIEVEMENT GAP
AND I WOULD EXPECT. THAT THIS.
BODY WOULD HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE.
FOR THOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.
BUT I I SUPPOSE THAT WE CAN SIT
ON OUR HANDS AND JUST ASSUME
THAT THERE'S NO WAY. THAT THESE
INDIVIDUALS CAN LEARN.
I'M GOING TO REJECT THAT EVERY
DAY AND I'M GONNA KEEP FINDING A
WAY. TO REACH THEM IN AND MY
POINT IS GOING INTO THIS I'D
LIKE TO SEE THE STRATEGY.
UP FRONT
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE DATA AS YOU
POINTED OUT THAT'S MY THAT'S MY
POINT IS I WANT TO SEE THAT BE
PART OF THE INITIAL CONCEPT OF
HOW THIS IS GOING TO SUCCEED.
AND WHAT STEPS IN AND IF IT'S
MORE MONEY TO MAKE IT WORK.
BEFORE GOING TO CREATE THE
BETTER MOUSETRAP.
RIGHT ANOTHER MOUSE TRAP WE
SHOULD BUT I'M SAYING WE SHOULD
CREATE IT AT THE OUTSET.
SO IT HAS THE BEST CHANCE OF
SUCCEEDING FOR THE KIDS THAT
NEED TO HELP THEM.
THE THE ONE THING I WOULD ADD IS
THE TECHNOLOGY IN THE SPACE IS
ALSO BECOMING A LITTLE BIT MORE
EXCITING WHEN WE TALK ABOUT
ONLINE AS I TESTIFIED PREVIOUSLY
THAT'S A VERY LARGE AND BROAD
BUCKET.
BUT THERE IS TECHNOLOGY ON
PREDICTIVE ANALYTICS AND THERE
ARE SOME TECHNOLOGIES THAT
ACTUALLY ALLOW.
SKILL GAPS TO BECOME PRETTY
APPARENT ACTUALLY AS THE STUDENT
IS BEGINNING TO TAKE THE COURSE
WORK AND THEN THEY CAN
SUPPLEMENT THE INSTRUCTION TO
DEAL WITH SOME OF THE SKILL GAPS
I THINK THERE'S.
SOME REALLY EXCITING
DEVELOPMENTS IN THIS AREA AS
WELL. AND MY FINAL QUESTION IS
IS SPECIFIC TO A THIRD LA HARBOR
COLLEGE AS A AS A. SEVEN MONTH
CERTIFICATE PROGRAM TO FILL THE
NEED FOR THE THE WHOLE THE PORTS
AND HARBORS NEOPHYTE FETTERS
THEY NEED. YOU KNOW DIFFERENT
TRADES UNIQUE TO THAT REGION
IT'S A GREAT PROGRAM SEVENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAR JOBS THEY
CAN'T FAIL AND YOU KNOW SEVEN
MONTHS LATER YOU GET THE
CERTIFICATE. AND ONE OF THE
CHALLENGES FROM WHEN I LAST
SPOKE TO THEM WAS. THEY. ARE
TRYING TO REACH THE STUDENT
POPULATION OUTSIDE OF THEIR
REGION AND THEY CAN'T TRANSPORT
THEM TO THE CLASSROOMS AND IT'S
A PLACE WHERE AN ONLINE COURSE.
COULD AUGMENT THIS SINGING
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM THAT HAS JOBS
WAITING FOR FURTHER GRADUATES
IT'S THE SEARCH SEVEN MONTH
SHORT TERM CERTIFICATE WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT WHY IS IT BETTER
TO TO NOT.
USING EGGS THE EXISTING ONLINE.
AVAILABILITY TO EXPAND THEIR
GEOGRAPHY WISE IT BETTER TO HAVE
A A STATE RUN SEPARATE COLLEGE
SHOW THAT'S A SPECIFIC EXAMPLE.
AND THE CALL FOR THAT SPECIFIC
EXAMPLE THAT MAY NOT BE A BETTER
OPTION I MEAN IF LA HARBOR
COLLEGE. ALREADY HAS A GREAT
PROGRAM FOR PIPE FITTERS.
THAT'S WHY WE VOTE INVESTED
FEDERAL UPWARDS OF THREE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS IN STRONG
WORKFORCE INITIATIVE WE NEED TO
MOVE THAT MONEY.
TO WHERE THE JOB TRAINING IS
HAPPENING IN THE THE THE
TRADITIONAL JOB TRAINING THAT WE
DO AND DO WELL. NOW. WHAT WE CAN
DO IS WORK WITH LA HARBOR
COLLEGE TO DEVELOP?
I'M ABOUT TO ADD ON A ON THE
PLATFORM THAT WE WILL DEVELOP A
MODULE TO REACH MORE PIPE
FITTERS.
AND AND I THINK THAT THAT IS
THE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE HAVE
HERE WHETHER IT'S LA HARBOR LA
TRADE TECH CHESTER COLLEGE.
SOUTHWESTERN COLLEGE IN CHULA
VISTA THERE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO
BE UNIQUE NEEDS TO THAT
PARTICULAR.
YEAH.
WE THINK THAT HAVING A STATEWIDE.
COLLEGE CAN ADD TO THAT CAPACITY.
AND CAN PROVIDE THE TECHNOLOGY
WITHOUT HAVING TO REPLICATE IT.
AND FIVE SIX TWENTY DIFFERENT
COLLEGES SO I I DON'T DISAGREE
WITH WHAT YOUR EXAMPLE IN THAT
CASE I MEAN WE CERTAINLY
WOULDN'T WANT TO COMPETE WITH LA
HARBOR COLLEGE WE WOULD WANT TO
ADD TO THEIR CAPACITY. IN A
NUMBER WAYS WHETHER THROUGH
STRONG WORK FORCE OR THROUGH
ADDED CAPACITY TO THIS ONLINE%
COLLEGE. THANK THANK YOU MADAM
CHAIR.
THANK YOU ALL FOR GO ON TO
MISTER GLASER JUST WANT TO BRING
ON EVERYONE'S ATTENTION OUR
SECOND PANEL WILL FOCUS ON
GOVERNANCE THE THIRD PANEL OUT
WILL BE LOCAL AND STAKEHOLDER
PERSPECTIVE. MISTER GLAZIER.
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR. YOU KNOW
THIS INTO THIS CONVERSATION I
WAS JUST THINKING OF A VERY I
THINK APROPOS OF METAPHOR.
BUT IF WE WERE DEBATING HERE
TODAY WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD
CREATE A MARITIME. ACADEMY.
THAT WE WOULD HAVE ALL THE SAME
OBSERVATIONS GOOD ONES WILL
CAN'T WE DO THAT AT OUR OTHER
EXISTING TWENTY TWO CSU CAMPUSES.
.
AT A COURSE THIS SAME ORGANS
WILL BE PUT FORWARD AS THEY HAVE
BEEN PUT FORWARD TODAY ABOUT. WE
NEED SPECIAL WE NEED SPECIALTY
WE NEED EXPERTISE SWEET WE CAN'T
MAKE EVERY COLLEGE HAVE EVERY.
COURSE IN THAT THAT OUR ABILITY
TO DO THINGS BETTER. MIGHT BE
DONE BY CREATING THAT MARITIME
ACADEMY.
AND OF COURSE FOR THOSE WHO ARE
FAMILIAR WITH THE MARITIME
ACADEMY WOULD KNOW THAT IT'S.
PROBABLY ONE OF THE MOST
ARGUABLY THE MOST SUCCESSFUL CSU
WE HAVE.
THAT THE KIDS THEY GRADUATE FROM
THERE I THINK THE EMPLOYMENT
RATE IS LIKE NINETY EIGHT
PERCENT. AND THEIR FIRST YEAR
JOB.
SALARIES ARE HIGHER THAN
ANYTHING ANY UNIVERSITY IN
CALIFORNIA PRIVATE PRIVATE OR
PUBLIC.
FOR FIRST YEAR STUDENTS COMING
UP. AND SO HERE YOU HAVE THIS.
CHANGE FOR GOVERNMENT WE'RE
GONNA LOOK AT SPECIALTY
EXPERTISE AND WE WOULD PROBABLY
HAVE ALL A REALLY HARD TIME.
READING THAT MARITIME ACADEMY
WITH THEIR CRITICISM AND
CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED
AND SO WE HAVE TO LOOK BEYOND
THAT. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS
THAT WE DO IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR.
WHERE FOR MAKING FOOD EVERYTHING
LOOKS LIKE OATMEAL?
AND EVERYTHING WOULD BE A
DEPARTMENT STORE THERE BE NO
SPECIALTIES FOR SHOES OR SUITS
OR OTHER THINGS THAT PEOPLE
MIGHT WANT BECAUSE. THAT WAY WE
CAN JUST DO IT AT THE DEPARTMENT
STORE LEVEL. ALTOGETHER.
AND SO THESE THIS KIND OF
INNOVATION AND CHANGE IS
DIFFICULT FOR GOVERNMENT TO DO.
AND I APPLAUD THE GOVERNOR AND I
APPLAUD THE CHANCELLOR. FOR
BRINGING THIS FULL OF THE
FORWARD TO US I KNOW IT REQUIRES
A LOT OF THOUGHT. AND THAT AND
AND GAINED.
CRITICAL LOOK THAT WE'RE DOING
AND WE WILL DO THIS THIS SPRING.
BUT I KNOW THAT.
THERE SO FEW.
PROPOSALS THAT COME FROM
DOWNSTAIRS THAT I KNOW THAT IF
WE DID THIS MUST BEEN ONE THAT
WAS PARTICULARLY HEARTFELT AND
I'M GLAD THAT IT'S BEEN FOR
FORMER CHANCELLOR THANK YOU FOR.
YOU.
THE ONLY THING THAT I WOULD ADD
IS I THINK THAT THE CHAIR ASK A
VERY GOOD QUESTION A FEW MINUTES
AGO AND I WOULD UNDERSCORE IT
WHICH IS THAT. FOR US TO ABSORB
WHAT THIS MEANS I THINK WE NEED
TO TO SEE.
A BETTER ILLUSTRATION OF THE OF
THE CERTIFICATES AND BADGES.
THAT CAN BE BROUGHT INTO PLAY TO
HELP THIS UNDERSERVED COMMUNITY
DONE A GREAT JOB OF IDENTIFYING
IT AND TALK ABOUT WHY IT'S NOT
THE ANSWER BUT. I DON'T KNOW HOW
EASY THAT IS TO DO WHAT I THINK
WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE CHAIRS
THAT QUESTION AND AND AND.
IT WOULD INFORM US MORE ABOUT
HOW TO GROUND THIS A LITTLE BIT
BETTER THANK YOU.
THE.
LEAVE THAT OFF.
THE. BASIC SKILLS. I'M WONDERING
IF THERE'S SOME ROLE THAT COULD
BE.
FOR THE.
FIDO ONLINE. UNIVERSITY HERE FOR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES RELATED THAT.
MY POINT IS THAT WE HAVE A
CRISIS HERE THAT'S REALLY GOING
TO COME HOME TO ROOST. ROUTE IN
A DECADE OR SO.
IT ALREADY IS. K. TWELVE HAS.
FAILED MANY OF OUR STUDENTS.
IN. MATH.
AN ENGLISH.
SO THEY COME IN TO SEE A HUMAN
YOUSIF AND FOR DECADES.
THERE WERE A MEAL PROGRAMS AT
CSU AND YOU SEE.
TO MY DISMAY LAST YEAR.
THE ISSUE AND YOU SEE WALKED
AWAY FROM THOSE REMEDIAL
PROGRAMS THEY SAID SO THAT THE
STUDENTS CAN GRADUATE EARLIER.
WELL YES THEY CAN GRADUATE
EARLIER BUT STILL DEFICIENT. IN
TO THE MOST BASIC SKILLS THAT
THEY REQUIRE.
DO YOU SEE ANY WAY THAT. THIS.
ON LINE.
GOOD HELP. OUR STUDENTS.
WHO ARE NOW AT SEA ISSUE YOU SEE?
YOU COULD MARKET THIS TO THEM.
SO THEY HAD THAT OPTION.
AT LEAST SINCE THE ISSUE AND YOU
SEE OF TURNED OUR BACKS ON.
WELL I MEAN CRTAINLY THE THE
THE CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGES GIVEN THE FACT THAT.
WE ACCEPT THE TOP ONE HUNDRED
PERCENT OF STUDENTS.
WE ARE VERY FOCUSED ON THIS
QUESTION OF IMPROVING.
REMEDIAL EDUCATION AND AND I I
WANT TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
APPLAUD THE FACT THE INSTEP THAT
ARE DOING GREAT WORK.
BETTER SERVING THE KINDS OF
INDIVIDUALS THAT YOU'RE TALKING
ABOUT.
BUT THE ONLINE COLLEGE WILL
ALLOW US TO DO IS INTRODUCE
CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING.
THAT'S COMPETENCY BASED SO.
ONE IT WOULD HELP US. REACH
INDIVIDUALS WHO FOR WHATEVER
REASON COULDN'T FINISH THEIR
CREDENTIAL OR DEFICIENT AND ARE
NOW STRUGGLING IN THE WORKFORCE
GAIN. COMPETENCY SOME OF THOSE
COULD BE NUMERICAL COMPETENCIES
SOME OF THOSE COULD BE LANGUAGE
COMPETENCIES.
SO WE COULD CERTAINLY HELP
INDIVIDUALS COME UP TO SPEED IN
AREAS WHERE THEY DID NOT RECEIVE
PROPER INSTRUCTION WORK FROM
WHEREVER. OR JUST A LACK OF
OPPORTUNITY THAT THEY HAD
GROWING UP.
WE COULDN'T COMPLETELY SOLVE
THAT BECAUSE WE NEED THEM TO
REACH OUT TO OUR HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES TO HAVE. A
REAL OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN THE
SKILLS THAT THEY NEED. BUT WE
COULD CERTAINLY THROUGH THIS
PLATFORM AND THROUGH THE
TECHNOLOGY BE ABLE TO HELP
INDIVIDUALS GAIN SOME OF THE
COMPETENCIES THEY NEED IN THE
IMMEDIATE. FUTURE.
ARE CONSUMMATE CHALLENGES THEY
HAVE BEEN IN PROMOTIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES BECAUSE THEY LACK
THE SKILLS. TO DEMONSTRATE THAT
THEY CAN DO CERTAIN WORK. WELL
IT'S IT IT'S REALLY THE END
THANK YOU ATTENTION.
ORTIZ OAKLEY FOR THE THE THE THE
RESPONSE.
AND I'M HEARTENED BY. YOUR
SENSITIVITY.
I BELIEVE THIS IS A CRITICAL
NEED.
AND I'M GOING TO BE TALKING A
LOT ABOUT IT.
AND I GUESS WHERE I'M AT NOW
WITH THE FRUSTRATION WITH THE
OTHER LEVELS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
THAT THAT YOU MIGHT BE MORE
ANSWERS TO THAT NOW AS FAR AS IT
SOUNDS LIKE THE. THERE'S BEEN
SOME TRACKING OF THE SUCCESS OF
THIS ONLINE EDUCATION BASED ON
THE CHARTS WE'VE LOOKED AT HERE
TODAY. HOW? ARE YOU GOING TO BE
ABLE TO UP. THE TRACK WHAT THE
SUCCESSES IN NUMBERS OF HORROR
AND ROLLING AND THEN WHAT
THEY'RE GETTING OUT OF THE THE.
GRADUATION RATES FOR THE A AND
WHATEVER. WHAT WHAT ARE YOUR-THOUGHTS ON? TRACKING AND
MONITORING SO WE KNOW THAT IT IS
WORKING.
THE ADVANTAGE OF CREATING A NEW
COLLEGE IS THAT WE CAN SET UP
THE DATA SYSTEMS UP FRONT.
TO ENSURE THAT WE ARE TRACKING
METRICS THAT WE COULD CLEARLY
REPORT TO YOU. AND OTHER MEMBERS
OF OF.
OF THE LEGISLATURE. SO WE WOULD
WANT TO ENSURE THAT WE'RE CLEAR
ABOUT. WHAT ARE THE GOALS THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH?
WAGE GAIN IS ONE OF THEM.
I MEAN WHAT IS THE POINT OF THE
INSTRUCTION THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT IF AN INDIVIDUAL DOES NOT
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR GREATER
ECONOMIC STABILITY.
WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT
EMPLOYABILITY IS A METRIC.
AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROGRESS
THROUGH LIFE LONG LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES AND.
WE ARE GOAL IS TO ENSURE THAT
THEY HAVE ACCESS. TO THE
INSTRUCTION AT A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES TO FURTHER
ADVANCE THEIR EDUCATION THOSE
ARE THE KINDS OF MEASURES THAT
WE WILL BE TRACKING THEN WE WILL
SET UP A FRONT AND CERTAINLY IF
THERE ARE. OTHERS THAT THIS BODY
FEELS ARE NECESSARY.
WE'RE WE'RE OPEN TO THAT. LEAD
TO MORE QUESTIONS I GET A BRIEF
THE.
HOW ARE THE WITH THIS?
CLASS OF INSTRUCTORS IF YOU WILL.
THAT WOULD BE I GUESS UNDER THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THIS. OTHER
AUTHORITY.
WOULD THEY. HAVE A SEPARATE
BARGAINING UNIT OR WOULD THEY BE
A PART OF THEIR OWN LOCAL
BARGAINING IT WHEREVER THEY ARE
HOUSE DIED. HOW WOULD THE OUTSET
GOING TO WORK FOR THE THEY'RE
PAID? RIGHT WAGES HOURS AND
WORKING CONDITIONS.
WE WOULD EXPECT THIS COLLEGE
LIKE ANY OF THE OTHER FOUR
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES LIKE
ANY OF THE OTHER SEVENTY TWO
DISTRICTS. TO BARGAIN WITH IT
WITH ITS EMPLOYEES. AND DEVELOP
BARGAINING UNIT AGREEMENTS THAT
APPLY TO THE WORKING CONDITIONS
IN SALARY REQUIREMENTS OF THAT
COLLEGE THERE WOULD BE NO
DIFFERENT. OBVIOUSLY WE NEED TO
ACTUALLY EMPLOY FOLKS FIRST. BUT
THERE IS A COMMITMENT AND IT'S
DOCUMENTED IN IN IN THE LANGUAGE
THAT.
WE HAVE EVERY EXPECTATION THAT
THEY WOULD BARGAIN THE SAME WAY
CHOOSE WHATEVER BARGAINING UNIT
THEY WANT TO WORK WITH. ALLOW
THEM TO ENSURE THAT THEY HAVE
FOR WAGES AND WORKING CONDITIONS
CONSISTENT WITH THE OTHER ON
FOURTEEN CALLS THAN THE LAST
QUESTION. THE FULL TIME
EQUIVALENT IS GOING TO BE A.
APPARENTLY A CHANGE.
I THINK THAT CAN BE FOR THE
BETTER BECAUSE THREE DECADES
I'VE.
LYNN CONCERN ABOUT COLLEGES.
CHASING MONEY.
BY. BUILDING CLASSES
THE.
GENERALLY DON'T HAVE MUCH IMPACT
JUST TO GET FULL TIME EQUIVALENT
SO THEY MET THERE MAY BE SOME
MERIT IN THIS IDEA. HOW WILL
THIS? THEN TRACK WITH THE NEW
FUNDING FORMULA THAT'S GONNA
COME UP NOTE THIS IS AN ONLINE A
WHOLE DIFFERENT KIND OF LEVEL IF
YOU WILL. HOW WILL THAT AFFECT
THE INDIVIDUAL COMMUNITY
COLLEGES POSITIONS BECAUSE OF
THE THE NEW FUNDING FORMULA?
I I THINK THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT
QUESTION I KNOW.
MISS COSTS THAT ADDRESS IN THAT
EARLIER AND CERTAINLY. WELCOME
HER COMMENTS AS WELL BUT.
THIS COLLEGE.
BECAUSE IT'S CUMBERSOME ACE. IS
A DIFFERENT MODEL THAN THAN OUR
TRADITIONAL HUNTING FOURTEEN
COLLEGES BUT THE FUNDAMENTALS OF
THE SAME.
THE CURRENT THE PROPOSED
FUNDING FORMULA.
.
NOT ONLY REWARDS ENROLLMENT
GROWTH BUT ALSO IS EXPECTED TO
REWARD REACHING UNDER
REPRESENTED STUDENTS. AND
GETTING THEM TO SOME SORT OF
OUTCOME THAT ALLOWS THEM TO.
HAVE MORE STABILITY IN THE
ECONOMY OR ALLOWS HIM TO
TRANSFER. SO WE WOULD EXPECT THE
SAME IT WOULD APPLY TO THIS.
AND SO THE INCENTIVES WERE
TRYING TO DE EMPHASIZE
ENROLLMENT.
AND EMPHASIZE.
REACHING POPULATIONS THAT NEED
OUR EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES
AND ENSURING THAT THEY REACH.
AN OUTCOME THAT ALLOWS THEM TO
MORE MEANINGFULLY PARTICIPATE IN
THE ECONOMY AND I WANNA THANK
YOU TO CHESTER FOR INCLUDING THE
API STUDENT ALONG WITH THE.
LATIN THE MEXICAN AMERICAN
STUDENTS AS WELL AS THE AFRICAN
AMERICAN STUDENTS NOW YOU'RE
LOOKING AT THE API STUDENTS TOO
I APPRECIATE THAT DISCUSSED AND
WOULD YOU WANT TO COMMENT ON
THAT THE FUNDING ISSUE IS JUST
ON THE FUNDING FORMULA ACTUALLY
THINK THE CHANCELLOR HAD A GREAT
ANECDOTE THAT WE'RE. SEEKING TO
ADDRESS IN THE FUNDING FORMULA
ABOUT LONG BEACH CITY COLLEGE
DURING THE RECESSION.
AND THOSE IF YOU'VE BEEN AROUND
BUDGETS LONG ENOUGH KNOW THAT
WHAT GENERALLY HAPPENS IS IN
WHEN TIMES ARE GOOD.
COMMUNITY COLLEGE ENROLLMENT IS
RELATIVELY FLAT WHICH IS WHAT
WE'RE EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW
WE'RE NOT REALLY GROWING.
UNFORTUNATELY CONVERSELY WHEN
THERE'S A RECESSION AND THE
GUARANTEE IS CONSTRUCTED ALONG
WITH THE REST OF THE REVENUES
THERE'S NO GREATER DEMAND AND
THEY'RE UNABLE TO MEET THAT
CAPACITY SO ALTHOUGH IT'S
OPERATING WITHIN THE GUARANTEE
OUR HOPE IS THAT THIS FUNDING
FORMULA WILL PROVIDE A LEVEL OF
STABILITY FOR COMMUNITY.
COLLEGES REGARDLESS OF THE
ECONOMIC TIME AND IF I MAY MADAM
CHAIR I DO WANT TO GO BACK TO
YOUR FIRST QUESTION SENATOR
NELSON NOT A NIELSEN ON BASIC
SKILLS AND JUST SAY. I DON'T
FIND IT A FAIR CHARACTERIZATION
TO SAY THAT THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA AND SEE ISSUE OF
WALKED AWAY FROM BASIC SKILLS
THERE'S BEEN EXTENSIVE RESEARCH
ACADEMICALLY THAT WOULD SAY.
ONLY UTILIZING HIGH STAKES
TESTING FOR AN ENTRANCE EXAM IS
ACTUALLY NOT A GOOD MEASURE OF
THAT STUDENT'S ABILITY TO TAKE
AND SUCCEED IN CREDIT BEARING
COURSEWORK. AND SO OT JUST IN
CALIFORNIA AND THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY COLLEGES ARE LOOKING AT
WHAT WE CALL MULTIPLE MEASURES
WHICH WOULD BE GPA LOOKING AT
THEIR GREAT IN ANY PARTICULAR
CASE CLASS WHETHER THAT'S
ALGEBRA TWO. TO ALTERNATELY
DECIDE WHETHER OR NOT THEY NEED
TO TAKE REMEDIATION AND THE
REASON WHY THAT'S IMPORTANT IS
THAT STATISTICS AND RESEARCH
ALSO INDICATE THAT WHEN STUDENTS
GET STOCK IN BASIC SKILLS A
REMEDIATION IMPACT THEIR ABILITY
TO AUTOMATICALLY GET A DEGREE.
ON FOR A VARIETY OF FACTORS SELL.
I THINK IT'S A VERY IMPORTANT
ISSUE AND CLEARLY WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT STUDENTS ARE
READY TO SUCCEED IN A COLLEGE
ENVIRONMENT.
BUT THE DATA SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
AND THE RESEARCH IS SHOWING US A
DIFFERENT APPROACH THAT IS A
WORTHY APPROACH. I WANT TOHAVE
TO FOR THE DISCUSSIONS ON ON
THAT ONE WITH THE. HELL OF IT I
TAKE I'LL TAKE CONVINCING THANK
YOU BOTH THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
THANK.
BUT THE CLEAR FIVE BEFORE I MOVE
ON TO SENATOR MORLOCKS SENATOR
NIELSEN.
WAS ASKING FOR YOU KNOW HOW YOU
PLAN TO MEASURE SUCCESS IN
REFERENCE TO A A DEGREE SO I
WANT TO CLARIFY WHAT I HEARD
FROM YOU. CHANCELLOR IS THAT
THESE WILL BE SHORT TERM
CERTIFICATES WILL YOU OFFER A
DEGREE THROUGH THIS PROGRAM.
IT IS NOT OUR EXPECTATION TO
BEGIN OKAY A DEGREES. THERE MAY
BE SOME QUESTIONS THERE ARE
CURRENTLY SOME ACCREDITATION
STANDARDS.
WITH SOME OF THE CREDITORS OR
WOULD YOU WOULD REQUIRE AT LEAST
ONE A A DEGREE. SO WE WOULD WANT
TO WORK WITH OUR CREDITORS IT IS
NOT THIS IS NOT THE CORE
CAPACITY OF WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
BUILD.
ALL RIGHTS WOULD MAKE SURE THAT
THAT. I'D GOTTEN THE SHORT TERM-CERTIFICATE TRAIN THEN I GOT
CONFUSED BY THE QUESTION OKAY
GREAT. ENDS MINES IN THAT
ACCREDITATION IS GOING TO BE
IMPORTANT BECAUSE.
.
IN ORDER TO USE PUBLIC FUNDS FOR
SCHOLARSHIPS AND AND SAUSAGES
AND WHAT I WANT BUT. FINANCIAL
AID THANK YOU ACCREDITATIONS
REQUIRES THAT'S WHY CHRISTIANS
ABORTING THE MORE LOT THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIRMAN AND THANK YOU FOR
TODAY'S TOPIC I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE OF SERVING ON.
SUBCOMMITTEE ONE WHICH OVERSEES
EDUCATION CHAIRED BY. SENATOR
PART IN KEYNOTE. AND SINCE THE
BUDGET WAS RELEASED THIS IS BEEN
CERTAINLY A CAUSE FOR A LOT OF
APPOINTMENTS.
IN MEETING SO THIS IS BEEN VERY
HELPFUL AND I. REALLY APPRECIATE
THE DIALOGUE SO CHANCE FOR
OAKLEY THANK YOU I REALLY
APPRECIATE YOUR OPENING REMARKS
AND. HOW YOU'VE LAID EVERYTHING
OUT AND SO I WENT TO MY FIRST
QUESTION IS ABOUT THE DETENTION?
CENTER GLASER SAID IT WELL
YOU'RE YOU'RE OFFERING CHANGE.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF FEAR. IS A
LOT OF CONCERNS YOU HAVE A BOARD.
THAT IS APPOINTED BY THE
GOVERNOR WE HAVE SEVENTY TWO
DISTRICTS THAT HAVE ELECTED
BOARD MEMBERS THAT ARE REALLY
CONCERNED ABOUT. WHAT THIS MAY
DO ONE TO THEIR ENROLLMENT TO TO
THEIR FINDING ITS OTHER ALL
THESE YEARS SO HOW ARE YOU
WORKING? WITH THESE DISTRICTS
INCLUDING COASTLINE WHICH IS
CERTAINLY PAID ME A LOT OF
VISITS THE PAST FEW WEEKS.
HOW ARE YOU HOW ARE YOU? YOU
KNOW ABOUT.
I GUESS BEING A CHEERLEADER THAT
TIED TO GET THEM TO COME ON
BOARD.
WELL AS YOU CAN IMAGINE WE'VE
HAD.
.
A MATTER OF WEEKS TO COMMUNICATE
ABOUT THIS BECAUSE OF THE
RELEASE OF THE BUDGET TO.
AND WE HAVE TRIED HARD TO REACH
EVERYONE THAT WE CAN THROUGH.
THE NORMAL COMMUNICATION
CHANNELS AND INFORMATION OUT WE
HAVE MET.
I PERSONALLY MET WITH THE
ORGANIZATION OF CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICERS UNDER THE MU CULTURALLY
GIVE CALIFORNIA WERE IN CONSTANT
COMMUNICATION ABOUT THE BUDGET
AND WE'RE TRYING TO RESOLVE
THESE FEARS.
GRANITE.
YOU KNOW THE FIRST REACTIONS
WERE.
I THINK.
BASED ON THAT FEAR. AND YOU
KNOW PARTICULARLY TO TO MY
FRIENDS A COASTLINE COLLEGE DAY.
PROVIDED A TECHNICAL SUPPORT IN
ADVISING US ON THE INITIAL
PROPOSAL WE RECOGNIZE OUR
TREMENDOUS EXPERTISE.
WE HAVE NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER.
IN COMPETING WITH THEM OR
TRYING TO UNDERMINE THEIR MODEL
WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS AT
CAPACITY THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT ADD MORE
OPPORTUNITIES. AND TO REALLY.
.
LOOK AT THE COASTLINE MODEL AND.
GIVE IT THE CREDIT THAT IT'S DUE.
YOU KNOW I I WAS AROUND THE
COAST IS STRUGGLING ENOUGH. THE
EXPECTATIONS WERE THAT COASTLINE
WOULD BE DOING WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT HERE TODAY. BUT
BECAUSE OF THE ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE.
IT HASN'T. COME. AND IT HAS DONE
TREMENDOUS WORK. SO.
PART OF THE CHALLENGE IS. ALAIN
THE FEARS AND YOU HAVE MY
COMMITMENT THAT.
WE WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE
MEET WITH AS MANY PEOPLE AS
POSSIBLE. AND ENSURE THAT THEY
ARE INCLUDED IN THE DESIGN OF
THIS COLLEGE SO THAT THERE IS
LESS FEAR AT THE END OF THE DAY.
WE WILL STILL HAVE FEAR OF THE
UNKNOWN. AND ALL I WOULD ASK IS
THAT WE HAVE THE COURAGE TO STEP
FORWARD.
TO HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE
AND TO ENSURE THAT IF WE'RE
GOING TO MOVE IN THIS DIRECTION
THAT WE TRULY DO SERVE IN THE
BEST WAY POSSIBLE THE POPULATION
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. THANK
YOU MS COSTA. I'M I'M SURE WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE IS
LOOKING AT THIS INCREASE IN
FUNDING FOR PROP NINETY EIGHT
PURPOSES YOU. YOU MUST HAVE A
LONG LIST OF WHERE THIS MONEY
COULD GO I KNOW I BUILT A SHORT
ONE.
ONE THANK YOU FOR.
PROVIDING OTHER LISA HUNDRED
MILLION PER CTP BUT I ALSO A LOT
OF US THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD
PROPOSE NOT A HUNDRED MILLION IN
THAT AREA. I WONDER ABOUT CAL
STIRS WHEN WE PUT A HUNDRED
MILLION THERE TO START PAYING
DOWN. THE PENSION LIABILITY.
THAT THE COLLEGES ARE ALL ASKING
FOR BUILDINGS I JUST WONDER WHAT
YOU KNOW WHAT COULD A HUNDRED
MILLION DO THEIR.
FIFTY ONE WE GOT TO PAY THE BOND
ONCE SAID WE START ISSUING BAD
DEBT FOR THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND I. SIT HERE AND SAY BOY WE
SHOULD MY GREATEST ARE PAYING.
WINDS OUT OF PROP NINETY EIGHT
FINDING THAT'S ANOTHER AREA THAT
I. LOOKED AT IN IN IN WHAT WAS
THE TOPIC THAT WE HAVE EVER
YEARS TEACHER SHORTAGE WHY ARE
WE SPENDING A HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLAR TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW
TO GET. MORE TEACHERS IN THE
PIPELINE SO I I LOOK AT ALL
THESE AND I JUST JUST WAS
CURIOUS IF YOU CAN JUST KIND OF.
GIVE ME THE INTERNAL DEBATE THAT
YOU. HAD TO SAY OKAY THIS IS THE
PRIORITY FOR THIS HUNDRED
MILLION.
I COULD TELL YOU A LOT ABOUT MY
INTERNAL DEBATES NO I WOULD SAY
YOU KNOW THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
OBVIOUSLY IS THE BEGINNING OF
OUR BUDGET SEASON AND SO THESE
NUMBERS ARE GONNA CHANGE
INCLUDING THE GUARANTEES WE GET
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR
OUR REVENUES.
ESPECIALLY IN LIGHT OF THE
FEDERAL TAX REFORM A COUPLE
OTHER ITEMS THERE'S A HIGH LEVEL
OF UNCERTAINTY HERE. I WOULD
NOTE THAT WE DO HAVE A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR A SPECIAL
EDUCATION TEACHER RECRUITMENT
AND RETENTION PROPOSAL THAT WE
PROPOSED IN JANUARY. AND I THINK
WE DECIDED TO TARGET IT IN
SPECIAL EDUCATION BASED ON THE
MOST RECENT DASHBOARD.
INFORMATION THAT CAME OUT THAT
REALLY SHOWED A CROSSED A SCHOOL
DISTRICT IN CALIFORNIA SPECIAL
EDUCATION WAS ONE OF THE AREAS
THAT DISTRICTS WERE REALLY
STRUGGLING SO WE DECIDED TO
TARGET. OUGHT TO THAT PARTICULAR.
POPULATION TEACHERS WHICH HAS
LONG HAD A SHORTAGE OF FRANKLY
THROUGHOUT MOST OF RECENT
HISTORY IN CALIFORNIA. CERTAINLY
FOLKS HAVE TALKED TO US ABOUT.
THE BASS GRANT FUNDING AND
WHETHER OR NOT IT NEEDS TO BE
INCREASED TO ACCOUNT FOR STIRS
CONTRIBUTIONS. I THINK I
TESTIFIED IN FULL BUDGET
COMMITTEE. THAT WE STILL BELIEVE
THAT THE L. CFF ALLOWS DISTRICTS
FLEXIBILITY TO ADDRESS A WIDE
VARIETY OF EXPENDITURES AND.
THEIR SISTERS WOULD BE NO
EXCEPTION.
YOU NOTED WE HAVE IT RECENTLY
PASSED EDUCATION BOND ALMOND SO
THERE ARE A NUMBER OF. PROPOSALS
RELATED TO THOSE FACILITIES ON
THAT ARE INCLUDED IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET WE CONTINUE TO
FOCUS THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PROJECTS ON MY SAFETY PROJECTS.
THAT WAS OUR PROPOSAL LAST YEAR
MORE CONSISTENT IN THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET THIS YEAR. I
THINK AS FAR AS THE SORTING
MECHANISM IT'S NO SURPRISE THE
GOVERNOR HAS LONG BEEN
INTERESTED IN ONLINE. EDUCATION
IN THE HIGHER EDUCATION SPACE AS
A WAY TO.
HOPEFULLY DRIVE DOWN THE COST
STRUCTURE AND TO LOOK AT THE
TECHNOLOGY THAT IS EMERGING
WE'VE TALKED A LOT AND THE
CHANCELLOR TESTIFIED ABOUT
PEOPLE BEING SCARED OF CHANGE ON
ONE OF MY SLIDE YOU'LL SEE. ON
THE NATURAL THE NUMBER OF ONLINE
COURSE OFFERINGS IS INCREASING
ITS HAPPENING.
WAS ON A STATE UNIVERSITY
WESTERN GOVERNORS UNIVERSITY
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE IN THIS
SPACE CANDIDLY SOME OF THEM
MARKET THEMSELVES TO
CALIFORNIANS IN THERE DOING SO
AT A MUCH HIGHER COST. I THINK
WE VIEW THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO REALLY TARGET THE SERVICE TO
A GROUP OF PEOPLE WE KNOW NEED
IT BASED ON OUR DATA.
IN A WAY THAT IS BASED ON THE
RESEARCH TO DATE WHICH IS
SOMEWHAT LIMITED I WILL GRANT
THAT.
EONS WITHOUT THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES WERE WELL PLACED TO
SERVE THIS POPULATION BASED ON
THEIR LARGER MISSION STATEMENTS.
HANDS.
I THINK THE CHANCELLOR ALSO
BROUGHT UP A REALLY GOOD POINT
WHEN WE LOOKED AT THE DIFFERENT
OPTIONS. THE SCALABILITY OF
PUTTING THIS OUT IN ALL
DISTRICTS WOULD COST A LOT MORE
AND I THINK AS IS OFTEN THE CASE
IN MANY POLICY PROPOSALS YOU
HAVE TO WEIGH CERTAIN FACTORS
CENTRALIZATION VERSUS NON
CENTRALIZATION AND SO THAT WAS
SOME OF THE THOUGHT PROCESS THAT
WE WENT THROUGH. LASTLY I WOULD
SAY THAT WE REALLY DO VIEW THE
FUNDING FORMULA PROPOSAL AND
THIS PROPOSAL AND CONCERT WITH
ONE ANOTHER. WE REALLY WANT TO
MOVE AWAY FROM THIS IDEA OF
CHASING ENROLLMENT WHICH CAN BE
EXTREMELY VOLATILE SPECIFICALLY
IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES AND MOVING
MORE TOWARDS A MODEL OF. MAKING
SURE THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE BEING
SERVED PRESERVING THAT
CALIFORNIA PROMISE OF ACCESS TO
ALL STUDENTS IN OUR HIGHER
EDUCATION. SYSTEM AS WELL AS
MAKING SURE ON THAT. STUDENTS
RECEIVE THEIR STATED GOAL AT THE
END OF THAT AND SO I THINK THAT
THAT IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE
ONLINE. COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PROPOSAL. REPRESENTS REALLY ONE
OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT AREAS OF
THE BUDGET THAT WE OFFER
PROPOSALS OUT AND THE GOVERNOR'S
JANUARY PROPOSAL.
THAT'S GREAT RESPONSE I GUESS I
WOULD CONCLUDE WITH THE
FOLLOWING QUESTION AND THAT IS.
WHAT I'VE BEEN ABLE TO READ AND
DIGEST? I WOULD SAY THAT YOU
DON'T HAVE A VERY GOOD. BUSINESS
PLAN YET AND SO I APPRECIATE THE
FACT YOU'RE SAYING WE DON'T HAVE
ALL THE RESEARCH. BECAUSE I'D
LIKE TO HAVE THE MODEL HOW HAS A
AS YOU'VE BEEN SO SUCCESSFUL IN
GETTING NINE THOUSAND PEOPLE
FROM CALIFORNIA TO SIGN UP AT
SEPARATE CENTER. SO I'M LOOKING
FOR THAT BUSINESS PLAN I'M
LOOKING FOR. SOME OF THE DATA
THE METRICS AND I DON'T HAVE
THAT YET SO I'M.
I'LL I'LL I'LL LISTEN. SO THE
QUESTION I WOULD HAVE IS. WHY
NOT THE TWENTY MILLION MEASURE
TO TRY AND REALLY GET?
EVERYTHING RELEASE SOLIDIFIED.
AND UNDERSTOOD AND THEN THE
HUNDRED MILLION NEXT YEAR. TO
GET THE THING GOING.
AND IT WOULD BE PARTY TO BOTH OF
YOU.
SO FROM MY PERSPECTIVE.
.
FIRST OF ALL I'M.
BUT IN ORDER TO. TRULY GET THIS
GOING WE NEED TO LICENSE THE
TECHNOLOGY. WE NEED TO HIRE THE
EXPERTISE.
TO BUILD OUT THE BUSINESS PLAN
WE NEED TO WORK WITH OUR
EMPLOYER AND LABOR PARTNERS.
TO DEVELOP.
THE CONTENT THAT WOULD BE
DELIVERED.
.
THE REASON THAT YOU DON'T HAVE A
FULLY FLESHED OUT BUSINESS PLAN
IN FRONT OF YOU.
WE RECOGNIZE.
THAT.
WE WANT TO GAIN INPUT NOT ONLY
FROM THIS BODY BUT CONTINUE TO
RECEIVE INPUT FROM OUR FACULTY
FROM OUR EMPLOYER GROUPS FROM
OUR LABOR PARTNERS TO DEVELOP
THIS OUT.
WE WANTED TO BE INCLUSIVE RATHER
THAN TO BEGIN WITH A PROCESS
THAT WE FELT WE ANSWERED ALL THE
QUESTIONS WE WE CERTAINLY.
CANNOT ANSWER ALL THE QUESTIONS
RIGHT HERE.
WE NEED OUR PARTNERS TO THE
TABLE AND WITHOUT A FIRM
COMMITMENT. THAT WE ARE GOING TO
LAUNCH THIS I BELIEVE THAT YOU
KNOW THERE WILL BE SOME THEY
HESITATE.
TO COME TOGETHER AND FEEL THAT
THERE IS A COMMITMENT. TO DO
THIS IN A WAY THAT WOULD.
DEMONSTRATE THE URGENCY THAT WE
NEED SO FROM MY PERSPECTIVE I
THINK THE RESOURCES ARE HERE NOW.
THE URGENCY IS HERE NOW. AND WE
WOULD LIKE TO GET STARTED ON
THIS AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
I WOULD JUST NOTE FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE'S
PERSPECTIVE WE ANALYZE THE
NUMBERS AND IT'S PRETTY CLEAR
THAT IN THE FIRST YEAR OF
OPERATION GOING THROUGH THE
ACCREDITATION PROCESS. AS THE
CHANCELLOR NOTED.
PURCHASING THE TECHNOLOGY. IT'S
NOT AN INSIGNIFICANT FIRST YEAR
INVESTMENT THAT NEEDS TO BE MADE.
WE COUPLED THAT WITH A VERY
AGGRESSIVE TIMELINE TO AND RULE
THE FIRST CO OR AN AFFECT BUT IN
THE FALL OF TWENTY NINETEEN AND
SO THAT'S HOW WE ARRIVED AT THAT
NUMBER AS THAT FIRST YEAR OF
THIS PROPOSAL.
THANK YOU CHANDLER OAKLEY AND.
THIS CUSTOM MANAGER THANK YOU
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MADAM A. CHAIR AND.
.
MISS CUSTOM CHANCELLOR THANK YOU
FOR YOUR PRESENTATIONS.
I APPLAUD THE IDEA OF OF
PROVIDING. ACCESSIBILITY TO
EDUCATION FOR PEOPLE ESPECIALLY
THE WORK FULL TIME AND YOU TALK
ABOUT THE.
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES I
REPRESENT A NUMBER OF THOSE
DISADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES AND. WE'RE VERY
FORTUNATE AND IN MY DISTRCT
HAVE THREE. A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT THAT REALLY DO AN
EXEMPLARY JOB. IN LIGHT OF THE
RESOURCES THAT THEY THEY GET THE
MOUNTAINS AND A COLLEGE DISTRICT
COLLEGE OF THE DESERT AND. THE
RECYCLING UNITY COLLEGES. AND.
WE'VE HEARD ABOUT THE FEAR AND
ANXIETY AND CERTAINLY THE
COLLEGES HAVE THAT.
.
YOU KNOW WE'VE SEEN THE.
TECHNOLOGY HAS REVOLUTIONIZE
MANY FACETS OF OUR LIFE
ESPECIALLY THE RETAILING.
SO YOU SEE IN THE THE GROWTH OF
OF AMAZON TO THINK JEFFREY
BASIL'S NOW IS THE WEALTHIEST
MAN IN THE WORLD.
BUT THERE'S A THERE'S A FINITE
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT OUR
CONSTITUENTS IN THE STATE HAVE
TO SPEND ON THEIR. COLLECTIVE
ITEMS FOOD CLOTHING ETCETERA.
AND HIS SUCCESS HAS COME AT A
PRICE OF OF OTHER RETAILERS.
SOME NATIONALLY KNOWN RETAILERS
THAT HAVE CLOSED THEIR BIG BOX
STORES IN SMALLER STORES.
BECAUSE PEOPLE'S BUYING HABITS
OF HAVE BEEN CHANGING.
SO.
I TALK WITH OUR OUR COLLEGE
DISTRICTS AND THEY HAVE SOME
ONLINE CLASSES THAT THEY ARE
DOING IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT
YOU CAN DO ONE AT A PERCENT TO
GET A. EIGHTY DEGREE OR GET THE
SPECIAL CERTIFICATE CENTER
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
.
BUT THESE COLLEGE DISTRICTS ALSO
REACH OUT TO VERY UNIQUE
INDUSTRIES THAT IS VERY DIVERSE
AS YOU KNOW IN OUR STATE AS AN
EXAMPLE. AMOUNTS AND IT'S ON A
COLLEGE DISTRICT CAR HAS A BIT
OF CULTURE BECAUSE WE HAVE ONE
COUNTRY IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
THIS COMPETING RATHER WELL IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. WE ALSO
HAVE MEDICAL DEVICE
MANUFACTURING TIED INTO THIS
THERE AND.
THE COLLEGES HAVE MET WITH THE
PRINCIPLES OF THESE CORPORATIONS
SAY OKAY WHAT YOU NEED IN THE
WAY OF A EDUCATED WORKFORCE AND
GONNA TRY TO CORPORATE THAT.
INTO OUR CURRICULUM.
AND THEN YOU'VE GOT.
IN THE COLLEGE OF THE DESERT
WHERE YOU KNOW YOU HAVE
AGRICULTURE THIS PRETTY BIG OUT
THERE YOU KNOW AND HOSPITALITY
IS BIG OUT THERE SO. YOU HAVE
THESE COMMUNITY COLLEGES THAT
REFLECT. OF THE THE JOBS THAT
ARE AVAILABLE IN A PARTICULAR
AREA WHICH I THINK IS KEEN. SO
ONE OF MY CONCERNS IS THAT WE'RE
NOW GOING TO BE PERFORMING THIS
NEW DISTRICT.
AND HOW ARE WE GOING TO BE
ACCOUNTING FOR THE UNIQUE
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF A
RESPECTIVE AREA. SILICON VALLEY
AS AN EXAMPLE OBVIOUSLY PROBABLY
MUCH MORE HIGHER ATTACK.
AND.
WHAT KIND OF A GUARANTEE ARE WE
GOING TO HAVE ESPECIALLY?
WHEN THE BUSINESS PLAN HASN'T
EVEN BEEN IN YET.
TO ENSURE. THAT THESE COLLEGES
THAT ARE VERY WEARY AND VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT.
MONEY BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM THEM
AND THEIR ABILITY TO PROVIDE FOR
TRADITIONAL CLASSES WITHIN THOSE
COLLEGE DISTRICTS. THEY'RE
SCARED TO DEATH THAT THEY'RE
GOING TO BE YOU KNOW UNDER THE
GUN IF THIS BECOMES A SUCCESSFUL
AND I BELIEVE IT WILL BECOME
SUCCESSFUL.
BUT. YOU KNOW WE ARE WE CREATING
A WHOLE NEW TECHNOLOGICAL SYSTEM
HERE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND IF YOU LOOK AT.
COMPUTER PROGRAMS IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA THAT'S NOT ONE OF
THE AREAS THAT WE EXCEL IN. AND
MY CONCERN IS THAT THE COST OF
THIS PROGRAM IS GOING TO BE MUCH
HIGHER THAN IS PREDICTED YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT A HUNDRED
TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS TO GO
BACK TO OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES
IS PIECEMEAL. BUT I DON'T THINK
THAT'S GONNA BE THE FINAL PRICE
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE MUCH
HIGHER THAN THAT YOU'RE
PROJECTING I HOPE YOU'RE RIGHT I
HOPE I'M WRONG.
.
BUT ABOUT HOW DO WE HOW DO WE
GUARANTEE. AGAIN FIRST QUESTION
IS HOW DO WE GET THE SPECIALIZED
EDUCATION IN THE RESPECTIVE
DISTRICTS NUMBER ONE TWO. HOW DO
WE SIT HERE TODAY AND TELL OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE PARTNERS?
THAT WITHOUT A BUSINESS PLAN IN
FRONT OF US THAT WE WILL INSURER.
THROUGH SOME TYPE OF GUARANTEE
THAT THEIR EXISTING FUNDING WILL
BE COMPROMISED.
BUT TO ANSWER YOUR YOUR LAST
QUESTION.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE DOES CLARIFY THE FACT
THAT.
WANT TO REASONS ONE IT IT
CLEARLY STATES THAT THIS COLLEGE
IS NOT GEARED TO COMPETE.
AND THE WAY WE ENSURE THAT IS.
I KNOW.
JR MITCHELL BROUGHT UP THE
ACADEMIC TERM SUB ASSOCIATE
CREDENTIAL.
THE CREDENTIALS THAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE BADGES THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DO NOT
CURRENTLY. REWARD THESE COLLEGES
TO REVENUE GAINS THROUGH THE
NORMAL CREDIT INSTRUCTION.
THIS IS A LEVEL OF INSTRUCTION
THAT IS CURRENTLY NOT.
OFFERED AT SCALE.
AND THE OTHER IS A WOULD BE
PROVIDED THROUGH A CALM SEA
BASED EDUCATION MODEL WHICH IS
DIFFERENT THAN THE SEA TIME
MODEL THAT OUR CULTURES ARE
CURRENTLY FUNDED FOR.
.
THE LAST THING I'D SAY IS THAT.
WE WON IT.
AND THIS IS NOT AN EITHER OR
SITUATION.
WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT.
DESERT AND MOUNT ST HAS IN TOW.
WE CANNOT SERVE THESE TWO AND A
HALF MILLION. WITH ONE COLLEGE
ALONE. THERE IS JUST NO WAY THIS
IS NOT A SILVER BULLET.
BUT WE WE WANT TO ADD ANOTHER
TOOL.
ANOTHER WAY TO INCREASE CAPACITY
INTO YOUR QUESTION OF COST.
CERTAINLY THERE IS A FAIR
QUESTION. WE HAVE THIS CHALLENGE
IN OUR CURRENT SYSTEM NOW MANY
OF OUR DISTRICTS IMPLEMENTED.
.
ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING
SYSTEMS MANY YEARS AGO AND THE
COSTS OF THOSE BALLOON BECAUSE.
YOU KNOW WE DIDN'T TRY TO
ACCOMPLISH ANY SCALE THROUGHOUT
THE SYSTEM.
BUT.
IT IS OUR INTENTION TO NOT JUST
RELYING ON PUBLIC SUPPORT IS OUR
INTENTION TO WORK WITH
PHILANTHROPY. TO WORK WITH LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS TO WORK WITH THE
MANY ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE ALSO
INTERESTED IN SERVING THIS
POPULATION AND LEVERAGE THE
STATE RESOURCES. IF YOU THINK
ABOUT.
THERE ARE ARE MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS FLOWING THROUGH OUR
WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARDS WERE
ALSO DESIGNED TO DEAL WITH
DISPLACED WORKERS. WE WANT TO
LEVERAGE THOSE EFFORTS WE WANT
TO LEVERAGE THOSE DOLLARS AND
PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL LAYER OF
SUPPORT.
AND THE SPECIALIZATION. THAT
COMES WITH HAVING A CADRE OF
FACULTY AND STAFF THAT'S WHOLE
PURPOSE. IS TO WORK WITH LBOR
ORGANIZATIONS AND INDUSTRY
PARTNERS IN THE DIFFERENT
REGIONS OF THE STATE. AND ALSO
LEVERAGE THE WORK OF OUR
COLLEGES WE THINK THAT THERE IS
A LOT TO GAIN. FROM IDENTIFYING
THE SKILLS.
HAVING OR LABOR PARTNERS HELP
WITH DESIGN THE INSTRUCTION. OF
SO THAT IT ACTUALLY IS
MEANINGFUL TO THOSE EMPLOYEES
AND ENSURE THAT THE LABOR PART
DID THAT THE EMPLOYER PARTNERS
HONOR THOSE SKILLS. AND THAT'S
WHERE WE'RE GONNA NEED TO TURN
TO YOU FOR HELP AS WELL. WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR EMPLOYERS
EXCEPT THOSE SKILLS AND HONOR
THAT. LEARNING. THROUGH
PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES I
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR ANSWERS AND
I CAN. TELL YOU THAT.
OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES DO WORK
WITH WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
BOARD'S THEY WORK WITH PRIVATE
INVESTMENT BECAUSE WHEN THOSE
PRIVATE COMPANIES TAKE
INVESTMENT TO GET WORKERS IN
RETURN. SO I I GOT MY LAST
QUESTION MADAM CHAIR WILL BE FOR
THE LA UP. SO.
WE'VE HEARD THAT.
THIS ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT IS NOT GOING TO COMPETE
WITH THE CURRICULUM WITH THE.
EXISTING COMMUNITY COLLEGES I
THINK.
IN THE FUTURE IF WE'RE
SUCCESSFUL MIKE WE HOPE IF WE DO
HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IT IS
SUCCESSFUL THAT IT WILL MORPH
INTO SOME COMPETITION AND I
STILL THINK. YOU KNOW WITH ALL
THE GUARANTEES WE PUT IN THE
TRAILER BILL THERE'S NOTHING
THAT WE CAN GUARANTEE FOUR YEARS
FROM NOW THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO.
BACK FILL IN ANY LOSS TO THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT.
MY CONCERN IS JUST AS A
BUSINESSMAN. IS THAT YOU HAVE
THIRTY THREE.
COULD COLLEGES OUT THERE TO DO
ONLINE EDUCATION NOW FROM WHAT I
UNDERSTAND. SO THEY HAVE THE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN PLACE. AND I
WERE TALKING ABOUT.
RE CREATING ALL OF THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE WE HAVE THIRTY
THREE MODELS OUT THERE ALREADY
IS A TWENTY FIVE PERCENT OF THE
COMMUNICABLE EDGES ALREADY
OFFERING ONLINE MAYBE NOT ENOUGH
TO GET THE CREDENTIALING THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. BUT
CERTAINLY WE HAVE THE EXPERTISE
IN THE COLLEGE DISTRICTS THAT
CAN DO THE CURRICULUM WE HAVE
THE EXPERTISE THAT CAN DO THE
TECHNOLOGY TO MAKE IT. MAKE IT
WORK. WOULD NOT BE MORE PRUDENT
FOR THE STATE TO USE EXISTING
RESOURCES INSTEAD OF CREATING
YET ANOTHER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ANOTHER LAYER OF. OF EMPLOYEES
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND.
GIVE THE MONEY IF YOU WILL TO
OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGES
THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN THERE AND
DONE IT MAYBE NOT TO THE
COMPREHENSIVENESS. THAT WE WOULD
LIKE TO ACHIEVE TO GET PEOPLE
THAT ARE IN UNDERSERVED AREAS
THAT NEED BASIC SKILLS TO GET
BETTER JOBS AND WORKING AND THEN
THAT WENT AWAY SHOTS. CAN NOT
THAT BE A MUCH BETTER AVENUE FOR
US.
I THINK THAT'S BETTER THAN ONE
OF THE IMPORT QUESTIONS THE
FORTY INTERNET THEME THINKING
ABOUT WHAT THIS NEW COLLEGE IS
GOING TO LOOK LIKE AND HOW IT
FITS WITHIN THE SYSTEMATIC.
TRYING TO GET THAT BETTER SENSE
OF WHAT THE ACT THAT CALLED HIS
MISSION WITH IS IT IS VERY
IMPORTANT TO TRY TO MAKE SURE I
UNDERSTAND THAT.
THE GIFT IF LOOK IF THE COLLEGES
FOCUSING ON THIS VERY. NARROW
GROUP OF OF ADULTS WHO HAVE THIS
VERY SPECIFIC EDUCATIONALLY
THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT
BECAUSE THEY'RE DOING MAYBE IT'S
NOT HAVING AS MUCH AS. IT DID
YOU ARE BUILDING UP TECHNOLOGY
AND THE THINGS THAT MAYBE YOU
ARE SERVING A DIFFERENT PROGRAM.
BUT I THINK THAT THAT REALLY
DEPENDS ON WHAT THE COLLEGE
ULTIMATELY DOES I THINK ONE OF
THE. THE KEY THAT I THINK ISSUES
AS WE WERE READING TO THE
COMPELLING WHICH IS THE TRADABLE
LANGUAGE DOESN'T EXCEED RESTRICT
THE COLLEGE IN A SPECIFIC WAY
THAT. THE THAT THE. THE COLLEGE
IS SUPPOSED TO DEVELOP THREE
PROGRAM PATHWAYS BUT THOSE
PATHWAYS HAVE NOT BEEN DEVELOPED
THAT THAT'S WHAT THE THE INITIAL
PIXEL WHAT THOSE PATHWAYS LOOK
LIKE WE'LL HAVE THE DEFECT IN IT
ON. WHETHER THIS WILL BE SORT OF.
CORTICAL COMPETING FOR STUDENTS.
I THINK THE OTHER THING I THINK
IS IMPORTANT TO ALSO KEEP MINE
JUST BIG PICTURES THE BUDGETING
WITH PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT.
IN GENERAL THE WAY WE BUDGET IS
THAT PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT IS
A.
IS AN AMOUNT OF FUNDING AND
COLLEGES TYPICALLY GET TEN POINT
NINE PERCENT OF THAT OF THAT POT.
SO IF YOU DO HAVE. ADDITIONAL I
MEAN IT MEANS IT'S NOT A BAD
THING OR IF IF NECESSARILY IF.
IT WERE SERVING MORE STUDENTS.
BEND THAT YOU'RE TRYING TO
SERVE MORE STUDENTS WITH THE
SAME POT OF MONEY THAT I MIGHT
NOT BE ABOUT THAT WE WANT. TO
SERVE MORE TUNES BUT. IF YOU
HAVEN'T BEEN DOING THAT YOU
MAYBE WOULD HAVE FUN THAT YOU
COULD THINK ABOUT HOW HE WOULD
WANT TO TO TO USE WHETHER IT BE
INCREASING ENROLLMENT AT
TRADITIONAL COLLEGES OR.
EXPANDING SOME OF THE OTHER
TYPES STUDENT SUPPORT PROGRAMS
THAT WE HAVE SO.
WE WERE LIVING IN THIS WORLD AND
THIS IS THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING
AVAILABLE YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO
HAVE THAT TENSION. I THINK I
THINK FOR FOR US AND WE THINK
THE IMPORTING IS THINK ABOUT HOW
HOW WITH WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO
SPEND THE MONEY JUST BECAUSE. IT
IS COMING OUT PUTTING SOME
PRESSURE ON THE COLLEGES MIGHT
NOT NECESSARILY BE A BAD THING
IF WE THINK WE'RE GETTING
SOMETHING OF VALUE THAT IS. THAT
IS CERTAIN BETTER SERVING THE
ADULT IN CALIFORNIA.
IF I COULD ADD SOME CENTER STONE
UP BECAUSE I THINK YOU BROUGHT
UP TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE
EXISTS NOW.
WE HAVE A STATEWIDE
INFRASTRUCTURE WE PURCHASED.
A.
LEARNING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
CALLED CANVAS IT'S AVAILABLE TO
ALL OF THE COLLEGES WE WOULD USE
THE SAME INFRASTRUCTURE. WE
WOULD NOT CREATE BRAND NEW
INFRASTRUCTURE WE WOULD ADD
LAYERS TO THIS THAT
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT COULD BE
AVAILABLE. TO EVERY COLLEGE.
IN THE SECOND THING IS ON THE
QUESTION OF COMPETITION.
WE HAVE COMPETITION TODAY.
THE CALL FOR PROFIT INSTITUTIONS.
THE CRIPPLE CALIFORNIANS EVERY
DAY. NOW SOME ARE VERY
LEGITIMATE AND AND WE SAID WE
SUPPORT RESPECT THEM. BUT MANY
ARE NOT.
WE DON'T HAVE A PUBLIC RESPONSE
TO THEM TODAY.
WE WANT TO CREATE A PUBLICLY
FUNDED.
RESPONSE THAT YOU HAVE ACCESS
TO ENSURING ACCOUNTABILITY FOR.
UP BECAUSE AS WE'VE EXPERIENCED
WITH CURRENT THE END AND OTHERS.
WHEN WE DON'T HAVE A PUBLIC
RESPONSE.
WE CRIPPLE ALLOT OF STUDENTS
WITH CRUSHING DEBT.
AND NO REAL OUTCOMES. THANK YOU.
AND IF I MAY MADAM CHARGES YEAH
THE QUICK.
JUST TECHNICALLY THERE ARE
NUMBER OF MILESTONES IN THE
TRAILER BILL I'M INCLUDING
THINGS LIKE VALIDATING THE
BUSINESS PLAN ON COMING UP WITH
THE ACCREDITATION PLANNED SO. IF
THE PROPOSAL WERE TO MOVE
FORWARD OBVIOUSLY THE
LEGISLATURE COULD HAVE AN
OVERSIGHT ROLE ON ON THE
CONTINUING. APPROPRIATION
AMOUNTS ARE EXCUSE ME FOR THE
ONGOING FUNDING PIECE. SECONDLY
ON THE ISSUE OF COMPETITION
WHICH I THINK IS A REALLY
INTERESTING ISSUE. OUR ANALYSIS
pSTATEMENT IS THAT THSE
PARTICULAR STUDENTS ARE NOT
BEING SERVED NOW SO IF THERE IS
A LITTLE COMPETITION IN THIS
SPACE ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT THE
INITIAL DESIGN OF THE PROGRAM. I
WOULD FILE THAT UNDER A GOOD
PROBLEM TO HAVE OFFERING THESE
CALIFORNIA AND A LOW COST OPTION
TO INCREASE THEIR WAGES.
HAVE A GUESSTIMATE AS TO WHAT
IT'S GOING TO COST FOR THE
ONLINE IN THOSE FORTY SIX RIGHT
NOW IT'S AVERAGE STATEWIDE FOR
UNIT IS WHAT IS THE PROJECT
AMOUNT. SO RECALL THAT THE STATE
LEGISLATURE SETS TUITION FOR THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
SO WE WOULD EXPECT TO WISHING
FOR THIS COLLEGE TO BE
CONSISTENT WITH THE FORTIES
FORTY SIX DOLLARS PER UNIT MAY
BE ON A DIFFERENT. TYPE OF SCALE
WHETHER IT BE A SUBSCRIPTION
MODEL BUT WE WOULD NEED TO COME
BACK TO YOU TO ENSURE THAT IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE TUITION THAT
YOU ALL SET.
WIRE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH I DON'T CARE
THAT I DO WANT TO THANK YOU MISS
CLASS AS USUAL.
SHOULD ALL YOUR HARD WORK AND I
THINK WE ALL APPRECIATE YOU WORK
ALONG WITH THE CHANCE AND OF
COURSE LET'S SAY VANCE OFFICE. I
HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE AND QUICK
QUESTIONS AND I KNOW THAT WE
NEED TO BE DOING A TIMELY MANNER.
NOT STARTING OUT WITH SOME
COMMENTS ON.
FIVE I'VE HEARD FROM SOME OF THE
CAMPUSES IN THE NORTH COAST AND
I'M A PROUD.
INSURGENCY GRADUATE EVEN THOUGH
IT TOOK ME THREE YEARS PAST AND
SADISTIC SO WE THAT'S A LONG
STORY.
BUT LOOK. AT THIS CHANCE I THINK
YOU HAVE SOME WORK TO DO. MAY
GET SOME WORK TO DO INTERNALLY
BECAUSE THERE IS CONCERN. UP
FROM THE CAMPUSES ABOUT HOW THIS
CAN IMPACT THE BOTTOM LINE.
AND I'VE HEARD FROM BOTH.
DISCUSSING YOURSELF THAT THERE'S
NO NEED TO WORRY I'M
PARAPHRASING HERE.
BUT I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A
BETTER JOB THAT IS CAN BE
COMPLETED IN THE MONTHS TO COME.
WITH
YOUR OWN HOUSE ABOUT HOW THIS IS
NOT GOING TO COMPETE. WITH THEM
AND WHY YOU'RE GOING TO SUCTION.
PART OF THE WORKING GROUP AND
UNTIL WE SAW IN JANUARY.
THEY'RE LOOKING AT CONSORTIUM
CONTRACTING DISTRICTS WARM FOR
THIS OPTION.
AND I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO BE
SOME ADDITIONAL COMMUNICATION
BECAUSE THIS IS MOVING FAST. AS
WE KNOW WHETHER SUCCUMBING TO
COLLEGES IN THIS ISSUE SYSTEM
YOU SEE SYSTEM.
TRYING TO BE A LITTLE SLOWER
THAN WHERE YOU WANT TO BE ABLE
TO GO. TO I THINK THE BEER TO
MAKE THIS A SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM
YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO GET THAT
HOUSE IN ORDER. AND TO BE TO
TAKE SOME VALUABLE CRITICAL
FEEDBACK THAT THEY HAVE SUCH AS
ONE OF MY COMMENTS. AND I DON'T
THINK CANDIDLY. FOLKS ARE ON THE
SAME PAGE THAT YOU ARE AND THAT
IS NOT GONNA COMPETE.
NUMBER TWO YOU TALK ABOUT HAVING
COURAGE TO MOVE FORWARD BUT THE
SUCCESS OF THIS PROGRAM IS NOT
CAN BE BASED ON COURAGE. IT'S
GONNA BE BASED ON AN ACADEMIC
PROGRAM THAT IS ROBUST.
CONVENIENCE AND PRICE. AND I'M
STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
PATHWAY YOU'RE GONNA GO DOWN.
THERE ARE THREE PATHWAYS THAT.
EVEN SPECIFIC AND RINGO
POTENTIAL SPECIFIC TO WHERE YOU
WANT TO BE ABLE TO GO HOUSE IT
GONNA TIE IN TO THE C. T.
INCENTIVE GRANT. THAT THE
GOVERNOR HAS CHAMPIONED OVER THE
LAST THREE YEARS TWO HUNDRED
MILLION IT'S IN THERE THAT. IS
GOING TOWARDS A SEVENTY TWO
PERCENT OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
ARE NOT GOING TO FOUR YEAR
COLLEGE DEGREE. HOW THAT WOULD
TIE IN TO THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SYSTEM OUT BECAUSE THOSE ARE THE
FOLKS WHO WE SHOULD BE GOING
AFTER AS WELL? VERTICALLY SINCE
YOU HAVE BUILT IN A CERTIFICATE
COURSES AS WELL WITHIN MANY
BETWEEN A COLLEGES AND SOON
POTENTIALLY SOMETHING IN THIS AS
WELL BUT. SO I LIKE TO BE TO GET
JUST A BETTER UNDERSTANDING I
KNOW YOU YET STILL SQUISH.
BUT WHERE EXACTLY IN WHAT
PROGRAMS YOU THINK ABOUT THE
REASON WHY I BRING THIS UP.
I THERE STILL A LOT TO BE
FLUSHED OUT ON THE SIDE SO
PLEASE.
WELL THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION
AND YOUR COMMENTS AND RIDE LIKE
TO ADDRESS BOTH BUT I'LL BEGIN
WITH YOUR QUESTION.
SO YOU KNOW THERE'S THERE'S
ALWAYS ATTENTION BE BETWEEN.
COMING BEFORE YOU AT THE
BEGINNNG. WITH ALL THE PROGRAMS
FLUSHED OUT. AND THEN
BACKTRACKING AND THEN BEING TOLD
THAT WELL WE HAVE A GREATER NEED
HERE OR THERE WHAT WE WHAT WE
HAVE.
BEEN CLEAR ABOUT IS THERE ARE
THERE ARE WE NEED TO HAVEAT
LEAST THREE PATHWAYS TO WHAT WE
LOOKING AT.
AND WHO ARE WE TALKING TO. THEM.
MANUFACTURING.
UP.
IN HOME HEALTHCARE SERVICES.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CHILDCARE
INDUSTRY.
WE'RE WORKING AND LISTENING TO
OUR.
LABOR ORGANIZATION PARTNERS I
GUESS YEAH YOU ABOUT. I. T.
ABOUT OTHER AREAS OF THAT.
THEY FEEL ARE CRITICAL AREAS OF.
RE SKILLING OR UPSCALING.
WE'RE TALKING TO THE BUILDING
TRADES.
SO FROM THOSE DISCUSSIONS.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO PICK
THREE.
AND WE ARE CERTAINLY OPEN TO
INPUT FROM THIS BODY WHAT ARE
THE BUT THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT
WE'RE TALKING TO TODAY.
AND THOSE ARE THE INDUSTRIES
THAT WERE FOCUSED ON TODAY.
AND SO.
THOSE ARE AREAS THAT YOU KNOW
IF WE HAD FIVE OR SIX. AREAS OF
EMPHASIS WE WOULD GO AFTER BUT
AGAIN WE WANT TO ENSURE THAT
THIS IS SET UP FOR SUCCESS IN
THAT THERE'S CLARITY. ABOUT WHO
WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH WHY
WE'RE GOING TO WORK WITH AND
WHAT PROBLEM WE'RE TRYING TO
SOLVE ON THAT SO WHEN YOU TALK
ABOUT SUCCESS AND CLARITY SO
WHEN WILL BECOME CLEAR WHAT WHAT
ARE THE METRICS YOU NEED TO HIT.
BETWEEN NOW AND WHERE YOU WANT
TO BE TO BRING THIS FORWARD THE
LEGISLATURE WILL HAVE AN
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT
CLARITY IS. WELL I THINK FROM
OUR POINT OF VIEW AND THERE MAY
BE OTHERS.
.
OF.
YOU KNOW IF.
IF THIS BODY AND AND THE
LEGISLATURE IN GENERAL FEEL THAT
THIS IS A WORTHWHILE PROPOSAL WE
WOULD BE HAPPY.
TO COME BACK WITH SPECIFICS.
AND.
YOU KNOW GIVE IN AS YOU'VE
MENTIONED. THE NATURE OF THE
SPEED THAT THIS NEWS IS
TRAVELING.
THE INTRODUCTION OF THE BUDGET
WHICH YOU KNOW WE COULD NOT
REALLY TALK TO INDIVIDUALS ABOUT
THIS UNTIL WE KNEW THAT THE
GOVERNOR HAD COMMITTED TO THIS.
BUT WE ARE ACTIVELY IN ENGAGING
THOSE PARTNERS TODAY. AND I
THINK WE NEED PROBABLY A FEW
MORE WEEKS.
TO GIVE YOU SOME MORE SPECIFIC
DETAIL WE'D BE HAPPY TO PROVIDE
THAT AS TIME GOES ON BUT WE ALSO
WANT TO ENSURE THAT. YOU KNOW WE
HEAL HERE FROM OU ASSEMBLY
PARTNERS AS WELL WATER AREAS
THAT THEY THINK ARE IMPORTANT AS
WELL. SO WE WANT TO REMAIN AS
OPEN AS POSSIBLE TO IMPORT BUT
AT THE SAME TIME WE RECOGNIZE
THAT YOU NEED SPECIFICITY AS
QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE.
TO YOUR COMMENT EARLIER
ABSOLUTELY I MEAN OUR SYSTEM IS
A LOOSE CONFEDERACY. OF SEVENTY
TWO DISTRICTS IN A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES I AM NOT.
THE CHANCELLOR OF THAT SHE IS
YOU KNOW THE PRESIDENT
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA WHERE WE
CAN JUST TELL OUR COLLEGES WHAT
TO DO WE VALUE THAT INDEPENDENCE.
I WAS A VERY INDEPENDENT TO
IMPRESS A LONG BEACH CITY
COLLEGE I CAME BEFORE THIS BODY
MANY TIMES TELLING YOU HOW YOU
JUST NEED TO LET LONG BEACH CITY
COLLEGE DO WHAT IT NEEDS TO DO.
AND I LISTEN TO THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE.
BUT.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT ANDSO. WE
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK WITH
EVERYONE INVOLVED BUT JUST AS
LIKE EVERY OTHER INITIATIVE THAT
IS COME BEFORE YOU THAT WE HAVE
FUNDED. NOT EVERYONE IS ALWAYS
SUPPORTIVE.
BUT WE RECOGNIZE THAT WE'RE
ACCOUNTABLE TO EVERYONE I DON'T
THINK ANYONE AND I DON'T SPEAK
FOR THIS DISTINGUISHED PANEL UP
HERE BUT I DON'T THINK ANYONE ON
THIS PANEL EVERYTHING THERE'S
GOING TO BE UNDER PERCENT
SUPPORT ON AN ISSUE. BUT WHERE I
DO BELIEVE I BELIEVE A SITUATION
OR IN THEIR MORE QUESTIONS AND
ANSWER YES.
AND I BELIEVE IT'S BECAUSE OF
THE SPEED THAT IS MOVING FORWARD
AND I THINK THERE IS A
REASONABLE EXPECTATION. FROM
EACH OF THOSE DISTRICTS HAVE
CLEAR ANSWERS BECAUSE THIS THE
LONGER IT TAKES TO BE ABLE TO.
DRIVE SOME TYPE OF CONSENSUS
UNDERSTAND IT WE'RE NOT GOING TO
HAVE A HUNDRED PERCENT.
MORE DIFFICULT IT WILL BE TO
ACHIEVE WHERE I THINK WE NEED BE
ABLE TO GO AND I THINK WE'RE ON
THE SAME PAGE. WE NEED TO BE
ABLE TO COMPETE IN THE TWENTY
FIRST CENTURY WE NEED TO ENSURE
THAT WE HAVE WORK FORCES CAN
MEET THE DEMANDS. OF THE JOB
HERE IN THE DECADES TO COME.
THAT BRINGS OUT ANOTHER ITEM
THAT I FEEL IS STILL LACKING.
SO WHEN WE TAKE A LOOK AT THE.
TWO HUNDRED SIXTY ONE THOUSAND.
.
FULL TIME COLEMAN STUDENTS OUR
PAIN MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TUITION.
THEN.
WHAT DAY IT WITH PRIVATE FOR
PROFIT INSTITUTIONS COMPARED TO
WHERE WE'RE AT THE COMMUNICANTS
SYSTEM?
I'D LIKE TO BE A C. METRICS. OF
SO WE HAVE TWENTY SIX ONE
THOUSAND ARE GOING TO.
IT COULD BE DEPRIVED FOR
EXAMPLE IS GOING TO GIVE SOME
EXAMPLES RIGHT WE'D RIDE COULD
BE PHOENIX ECCENTRIC. SO IF WE
ARE SERIOUS ABOUT COMPETING WITH
AND THAT WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO
HAVE A BUSINESS AND MARKETING
PLAN OUT THERE AS WELL. AND IF
THIS IS OUR CORE AUDIENCE HOW WE
GONNA BE ABLE TO CHIP AWAY. AT
PROVIDING A SUPERIOR EDUCATION
FOR THEM.
AND I THINK THAT'S ONE ITEM THAT
I STILL HAVE A QUESTIONS ABOUT A
MINUTE CHAIR IS HOW WE'RE GOING
TO BE A SQUARE THAT BECAUSE WHAT
I'VE HEARD YOU SAY FEW TIMES
TODAY AND SHE CANCERS THAT. WE
NEED TO GO AFTER RIGHTFULLY SO.
THE STUDENTS AND SO WHAT IS THE
GAME PLAN FOR THAT I'M NOT
EXPECTING TO HAVE THAT ANSWER
HERE TODAY. I THINK THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT DATA SHOW THAT THE
ONGOING SUCCESS. FOR THIS.
GREAT IDEA BUT I STILL THINK
THAT THERE'S SOME AREAS THAT WE
NEED TO BE ABLE TO TIGHTEN UP
THIS CHANCE OR OR AND BEFORE THE
CHANCE A RESPONSE LET ME JUST
SAY THAT. THE SUBCOMMITTEE ON
OPPORTUNITY WILL BE WITH A
CHANCE AND OTHERS WILL HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY AND HOPEFULLY BY
THEN THEY WILL HAVE MORE DETAILS.
LIMIT KNOWLEDGE.
TO EVERYONE THAT WERE TWO HOURS
IN AND WE'RE STILL ON OUR FIRST
PANEL AND WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
HEART STOPPED AT TWO O'CLOCK SO
I'M GOING TO STRONGLY SUGGESTS
THAT THE CHANCELLOR.
TIGHTEN UP HIS ANSWERS A LITTLE
BIT AND ASK THAT OF THE.
COMMITTEE MEMBERS ALSO ARE
LITTLE MORE CONCISE IN THEIR
QUESTION TO RECOGNIZE THAT WE
WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DELVE MUCH MORE DEEPLY IN THE
SUBCOMMITTEE PROCESS.
I DO NOT COUNSELOR. THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
POINTING S FIRED UP SO I AM
READY TO GO. L. CHANCE AT THE
MOTIVE OBVIOUSLY WE RECOGNIZE
THOSE QUESTIONS THOSE ARE THE
RIGHT QUESTIONS TO ASK AND WE
WILL BE READY TO BEGIN TO ANSWER
THOSE IN MORE DETAIL. BUT I
WOULD SAY THAT I THINK THE BROAD
STRATEGY HERE IS COST.
AND THE RIGHT PATHWAYS. THAT'S
OUR OVERARCHING STRATEGY AND I
THINK IT'S A FAIR POINT THAT
WE'RE STILL EXPLORING WHAT THOSE
RIGHT PATHWAYS ARE BUT WE THINK
THAT'S THE SPACE WE CAN OCCUPY.
I THINK THEY AGAIN I'M NOT AN
EXPERT LAST AND MOST SAY.
COST.
IT'S GONNA BE CONVENIENCE IN THE
PROGRAM THAT WE'RE OFFERING
RIGHT AT ME THAT IS THE THREE
PILLARS OF SUCCESS. IBM FORMAT
IN AGAIN THANK YOU SO MUCH BOTH
OF YOU ALONG WITH ALIENS OFFICE
FOR YEARS.
YES THANK YOU.
JUST A COUPLE QUESTIONS.
.
I THINK THERE IS A FIRST FOR
APPLIED TO BECAUSE WE DO NEED TO
RECOGNIZE IN THE TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY WE'VE GOT TO BE MUCH
MORE NIMBLE. WITH OUR WORK FORCE
AS THE CHANGES IN TECHNOLOGY AND
AUTOMATION AND IT IN ALL OF THIS.
CONTINUE TO CHANGE WITH IT AT
ENORMOUS SPEED.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO KEEP OUR
WORKFORCE. NIBBLE ENOUGH TO BE
ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE. TO THE
SUCCESS OF THE ECONOMY AND TO
LURING BUSINESSES HERE SO THAT
THEY'LL STAY HERE. KNOWING THAT
THEY HAVE A WELL TRAINED WELL
EDUCATED WORK FORCE I THINK WHAT
I WOULD SUSPECT THAT IS ONE AREA
WHERE MAYBE WE ALL AGREE THAT
THE COURSE THE DEVIL'S IN THE
DETAILS HOW DO WE GET THERE SO.
I HEARD YOU SAYING RIGHT AT THE
BEGINNING AND CORRECT ME IF I'M
WRONG THAT. WE'VE IDENTIFIED
WERE WORD A CLOSING THE GAP BUT
WE'VE IDENTIFIED THAT ONLINE
COURSES TEND TO BE MORE
SUCCESSFUL.
WITH STUDENTS WHO HAVE A HIGHER
DEGREE OF EDUCATION WHO ARE A
LITTLE OLDER AND WHO WERE
PRIMARILY FEMALE.
SO THOSE SEEM TO BE THE KEYS OR.
OURS DIFFERENTIATING BETWEEN
THE GREATER AND LESSER SUCCESS
IS THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO SEEM
TO RESPOND MOST FAVORABLY AND
MOST SUCCESSFULLY TO ONLINE
CLASSES. BUT WHAT I HEAR YOU
SAYING ABOUT THESE PROGRAMS AND
I TOO AGREE WHAT IS A
CERTIFICATE WHAT IS A. SITE
WOULD GET WHAT WE TALKING ABOUT
HERE.
.
ARE WE. HOW HOW IS SETTING UP
THE STATEWIDE ENTITY? GOING TO
CLOSE THAT GAP WAR DISH IT'S
BASICALLY A RACE THAT GAP SO
THAT ANYBODY WHO NEEDS THAT
ADDITIONAL CERTIFICATE OR. A BAD
CREDIT.
HAS IT BECAUSE THE THE CLASSES
ARE THE AREAS THAT YOU'VE TALKED
ABOUT. MANUFACTURING IT OTHER
OTHER AUTOMATION THE BUILDING
TRADES TEND TO BE MORE SADLY BUT
TEND TO BE MORE MALE. IN THEIR
DIRECTION SO HOW IS THIS THE
BEST WAY TO YOU BELIEVED TO
CLOSE THAT GAP.
IF YOU COULD ANSWER THAT AND I
JUST WANTED TO PUT POINTS. IT
OUT TRY TO BE AS BRIEF AS
POSSIBLE.
.
MUCH OF THE DATA ON ONLINE
EDUCATION IS BASED ON THE MORE
TRADITIONAL ONLINE EDUCATION.
EXPERIENCE SAID TO
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE A ISSUE.
AND OTHER LARGE ONLINE
PROVIDERS OF HACKED UP AS WELL
AS OUR OWN EXPERIENCE IN
UNDERGRADUATE ONLINE EDUCATION
AND WE HAVE BEEN CLOSING THE THE
THE GAP.
THE KEY TO THIS.
IT'S OUR FACULTY. ARE FACULTY
BEING AT THE CENTER PRODUCTIVE
GALLOPING THE CONTENT.
MEASURING THE SUCCESS IN
ADAPTING TO THE CHANGES THAT
NEED TO BE MADE TO BETTER
DELIVER. THE EDUCATION.
OUR JOB AS THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE OR THE COLLEGE
ADMINISTRATION IS TO PROVIDE AS
MANY. TECHNOLOGY TOOLS AND
SUPPORT. INFRASTRUCTURE AS
POSSIBLE TO THAT CONTENT
PROVIDER OUR FACULTY MEMBER TO
BE ABLE TO REACH THOSE
INDIVIDUALS. AND SO WE BELIEVE
THAT THE EXPERTISE IS AVAILABLE
THAT WE CAN BRING IT TO BEAR.
AND THAT LEARNING SCIENCE HAS
DEVELOPED TREMENDOUSLY OVER THE
LAST FIVE YEARS SO WE KNOW A LOT
MORE ABOUT HOW DIFFERENT ADULTS
LEARN.
AND AS I SAID FROM THE BEGINNING
THERE IS NOT ONE SOLUTION FOR
EVERY WORKING ADULT.
THERE IS NOT THIS WILL NOT.
DEAL WITH ALL THE LEARNING NEEDS
OF ALL TWO POINT FIVE MILLION
INDIVIDUALS BUT A WILL. FOR MANY
AND PARTICULARLY YOU KNOW IF WE
THINK ABOUT THE COMPANY'S BASE
MODEL THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
TAKES INTO CONSIDERATION ALLOWS
FOR PRIOR LEARNING TO BE
DEMONSTRATED.
SO IN MANY CASES WHEEZE WORKING
ADULTS HAVE PRIOR LEARNING NOT.
LEARNING IN A CLASSROOM
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY RECEIVE
CREDIT.
BUT LEARNING IN THE MILITARY
LEARNING IN IN.
THE JOB THAT THEY'RE IN.
THAT THEY COULD MORE READILY
DEMONSTRATE TO LOOK THROUGH A
COMPANY BASED MODEL. AND MORE
QUICKLY COME UP TO SPEED SO.
UP. THAT'S HOW WE WOULD BEGIN TO
DEAL WITH IT BUT AT THE END OF
THE DAY IT'S ABOUT PUTTING THE
DEDICATED FACULTY AND STAFF WHO
LIVE AND BREATHE THIS POPULATION
EVERY DAY. TO APPLY THEIR
TALENTS AND TO DEPLOYTHE
TECHNOLOGY THAT'S AVAILABLE TO
MANY OTHER COLLEGES UNIVERSITIES
THROUGHOUT THE. COUNTRY SO GIVEN
THE FACT THAT YOU ALREADY THAT
YOU CREATED VISIONARY I THOUGHT
UGH ONLINE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE
WHY IT WHY. ARE YOU NOW SHIFTING
AWAY FROM THAT CONCEPT TO TO DO
IS SORT OF A STATEWIDE PROGRAM
WHY NOT. ADDRESS THAT IN AND I
WILL TELL YOU IN TALKING TO MY
OWN.
COMMUNITY COLLEGES PARTICULARLY
SANTA BARBARA CITY COLLEGE WHICH
YOU KNOW IS CUT IT VERY VERY
WELL RESPECTED NATIONALLY.
THEY'VE GOT TWENTY ONLINE
PROGRAMS AND SEEM TO BE DOING
QUITE WELL AT IT SO WHAT WE'RE
BASICALLY. SAYING IS WE'RE GOING
TO SORT OF SCRAP THOSE IDEAS AND
GO STRAIGHT TO ONE THIRTY
UNIVERSAL SYSTEM WHY NOT JUST
TAKE. WHAT THE IS THE ONLINE
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE IS DOING
AND EXPAND THAT I MEAN? I'M NOT
ASKING RHETORICALLY I'D LIKE TO
KNOW. SPECIFICALLY FEET HONE IN
ON THAT ISSUE.
FIRST.
WE ARE NOT SCRAPPING THE ONLINE
EDUCATION ISSUED IF THAT IS
ABSOLUTELY NOT THE CASE.
THE ONLINE EDUCATION ISSUE
CONTINUES TO NEED TO BE
DEVELOPED OUT.
AND CONTINUE TO PROVIDE
TRADITIONAL ONLINE QUALITY
EDUCATION IN A TECHNOLOGY
SUPPORTED PLATFORM. THAT'S WHAT
THE ONLINE EDUCATION IS YOUR
DOES. THE COURSES AT SANTA
BARBARA CITY COLLEGE DOES A
WONDERFUL JOB OF OFFERING. OUR
UNDERGRADUATE COURSES TO THE
MORE TRADITIONAL UNDERGRADUATE
STUDENT.
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT SERVING A
VERY DIFFERENT AND DISTINCT
POPULATION THAN WE ARE CURRENTLY
SERVING WE ARE TRYING TO ADD
MORE CAPCITY NOT. UNDERMINE
CAPACITY. SO.
WHEREAS IN A BARBER CITY.
COLLEGE IS A WONDERFUL JOB OF
SERVING THE COMMUNITY THAT IT
DOES SERVE. WE KNOW THAT IN THE
GREATER SANTA BARBARA COUNTY SAN
IS AREA THERE ARE WORKERS WHO
ARE STRUGGLING DAY IN DAY OUT
WHO CAN ACCESS. THOSE COLLEGES
AND WHO ARE NOT LOOKING FOR. AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR UNDERGRADUATE
EDUCATION BUT WHY NOT THEN
BECAUSE IT SOUNDS TO ME LIKE
THIS IS MORE SO SORT OF A TRADE
SCHOOL OR ADVANCED TRADE SCHOOL
KIND OF CONCEPT. I THINK PART OF
THE CONFUSION IS THAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO PUT THIS INTO AN
ENTIRELY. DIFFERENT MODEL AN
UNDERGRADUATE TYPE OF DEGREE
PROGRAM IN THE I THINK THE
FOCUSES OF OF THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE THEIR MISSION. IS IS
MUCH MORE WAS MUCH BROADER SO
WHY NOT JUST CREATE IS SORT OF A
STATEWIDE IF YOU WILL TRADE
SCHOOL SO THAT WE CAN
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE THE
MISSION OF THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. AND THIS MISSION HERE
WHICH YOU'VE INDICATED YOU WANT
TO. DO WITH A DIFFERENT AND
DISTINCT POPULATION WHY WOULD
THAT NOT BE A BETTER APPROACH.
OR MAYBE I'D LET ME PUT THIS WHY
IS WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSING A
BETTER APPROACH.
CALIFORNIA COMMITTEE COLLEGES
CURRENTLY HAVE THREE PRIMARY
MISSIONS.
UNDERGRADUATE EDUCATION WHAT WE
NORMALLY REFER TO IS LEANING
TOWARD ASSOCIATES DEGREE OR
TRANSFER.
WORKFORCE EDUCATION.
AS WELL AS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
THESE ARE. LEVELS OF EDUCATION
THAT ARE MORE TRADITIONAL.
THAT NEED THAT OUR COLLEGES
SERVE IN A TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC
CALENDAR.
AND SO.
ON THE QUESTION OF WHY NOT ADDED
TO THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE. WE WOULD BE ADDING
ONE MORE MISSION.
TO AN ALREADY.
TO AN INITIATIVE THAT IS
ALREADY TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH ITS
CURRENT PRIMARY BUT NOT BY MUCH
BUT MY QUESTION I APOLOGIZE IF I
WASN'T CLEAR IS WHY NOT TAKE AND
CREATE. A SEPARATE DISTINCT
ENTITY CALLED THE CALIFORNIA
TRADE SCHOOL OR IF IT'S YOU KNOW
I'M SURE WE COULD THINK OF
SOMETHING MUCH MORE INTERESTING
BUT. TAKE THIS OUT OF THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE CONTEXT AND
PUT IT INTO ITS OWN IDENTIFIABLE
CONCEPT IN MISSION.
SO. IN A WAY WE ARE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH THAT BY CREATING A
SEPARATE COLLEGE THAT IS JUST
SOLELY DEDICATED TO THIS LEVEL
OF INSTRUCTION WE WOULD NOT WANT
TO PULL OUT.
CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION FROM
OUR CURRENT COLLEGES BECAUSE
THAT THAT IS A FUNCTION THAT
THEY SERVE AND SERVE VERY WELL
IT IS A HIGHER LEVEL OF
INSTRUCTION.
BUT WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT
IS CREATING CORE CAPACITY CORE
COMPETENCIES IN ONE COLLEGE JUST
TO DEAL WITH IT SO IN A WAY IT
IS CREATING SORT OF A TRADE
SCHOOL.
WE WOULDN'T CALL IT THAT BUT.
IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR CAREER
ADVANCEMENT.
THEY'VE BEEN VERY CLEAR SENATOR
JACKSON THAT IT'S NOT TO COMPETE
WITH AN UNDERGRAD EXPERIENCE SIX
TALKED ABOUT THE SHORT TERM
CERTIFICATES OKAY. WE'RE VERY
OPEN TO SUGGESTIONS ON THE
NAMING SENATOR SO IF ANYONE HAS
A GOOD NAMELY MINISTRATION IS
OPEN TO HEARING AND I ALSO WANT
TO GET BACK TO YOUR POINT ON THE
CHEAT LINK OUT BECAUSE I THINK
THAT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT.
CONSIDERATIONNOT ONLY IN THIS
PROPOSAL BUT REALLY THROUGHOUT
ALL OF OUR EDUCATION OF
DISCUSSIONS. IN THE TRAILER BILL
DOES ESTABLISH THE RESEARCH AND
DEVELOPMENT UNIT AS PART OF THIS
COLLEGE AND THEIR SOLE MISSION
IS TO USE THE DATA. ON TO ENSURE
THAT STUDENTS ARE BEING WELL
SERVED AND WHAT'S REALLY GREAT
ABOUT IT IS NOT ONLY WILL INFORM
THE DECISION IN THE CURRICULUM
OF THE FACULTY OUT THE ONLINE
COLLEGE. THE LEARNINGS WILL BE
SHARED ACROSS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SYSTEM TO ENSURE THAT ALL
FACULTY UNDERSTAND WHAT WE'RE
LEARNING ABOUT WHAT WORKS FOR
STUDENTS IN THIS ENVIRONMENT ON
IT THIS IS AN EMERGING AREA AS
FAR AS ONLINE EDUCATION AND SO.
WE HAVE DEVELOPED. AT A SPECIFIC
UNIT TO LOOK AT THESE ISSUES AND
BETTER INFORM THE COLLEGE MOVING
FORWARD. THANK YOU I APPRECIATE
THE DISCUSSION LOOK FORWARD TO
GOING FORWARD AS WELL THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. SENATOR SKINNER.
THANKS I'M NOT GONNA REPEAT THE.
HOPEFULLY MY COLLEAGUES BUT. SO
I BUY SHARES SOME OF THE
CONCERNS THAT WERE EXPRESSED BUT
THE THING THAT I'M THINKING
ABOUT A LOT IS.
TWO ONE.
IF WE PURSUE THIS MODEL IT'S
GOING TO TAKE A GOOD.
I DON'T KNOW FIVE YEARS MAYBE
FOUR YEARS BUT EVEN LONGER TO
GET THE ACCREDITATION.
AND IT SEEMS TO ME TO BE VERY
VALUABLE IT NEEDS THE
ACCREDITATION AND IT'S BEEN
POINTED OUT WE HAVE A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN LOCATIONS THAT ARE YOU
CREDITED. SO I APPRECIATE THE
FROM A COST POINT OF VIEW. GIVEN
THIS WORK WE ARE TRYING TO
PROVIDE WITH THIS YOU WOULDN'T
NECESSARILY WANT TO THE STATE
WOULD NOT WANT TO TRY TO PROVIDE
IT AT ALL HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
CAMPUSES THAT WOULD BE.
EXPENSIVE.
BUT COULDN'T THERE BE A MODEL
WHERE AND AGAIN I AM. THE I
DON'T WANT TO CREATE ALARM FIVE
FROM THE DESTRUCTION
INCOMMUNICADO EDGES THAT AREN'T
NECESSARILY BUT.
SUGGESTS YOU KNOW SAYING THAT
THIS IS THE MARBLE BUT I'M JUST
THINKING THAT IF WE ARE. WE HAVE
FACILITIES WITH ACCREDITATION.
WHY WOULDN'T WE USE SOME NUMBER
OF THOSE FACILITIES?
TO BE THE MINISTERS OF THIS
ONLINE MODEL NOW I APPRECIATE
THE GOVERNMENT'S QUESTION THAT
YOU RAISE BECAUSE THEY HAVE
MISSIONS FOR IT THAT'S MORE
GEOGRAPHIC. BUT AGAIN WE YOU'RE
ASKING US.
TO MODIFY.
THE EFFECT OF IT MOON THE ROLE
OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS WE
COULD MODIFY. THE MISSION OF
CERTAIN OF OUR DISTRICTS FOR
THAT MATTER RIGHT I MEAN THERE
THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT WAYS
TO DO THIS. SO THAT'S ONE
THOUGHT IN THE REASON I'M
THINKING NOT ONLY ABOUT THE
ACCREDITATION AND THE FACT THAT
WE HAVE EXISTING FACILITIES WITH
ACCREDITATION. THAT CERTAIN OF
THE CERTIFICATE TYPE OF PROGRAMS
YOU MENTION LET'S SAY IN THE
CHILD DEVELOPMENT AREA FOR
EXAMPLE.
WELL I CAN COMPLETELY APPRECIATE
THAT THERE'S A GOOD AMOUNT OF
ONLINE. EDUCATION THAT COULD
BENEFIT THAT THERE'S ALSO SOME
HANDS ON THAT WOULD BE REQUIRED%
AND SO IF WE JUST HAVE THIS ONE
SORT OF VIRTUAL WHERE THOSE
PEOPLE. GO ANYWHERE AROUND THE
STATE FOR THE HANDS ON PART AND
THERE WERE SOME OTHER. POSSIBLE
CERTIFICATES THAT YOU MENTIONED
THAT REALLY DO NEED A LEAST A
BIT OF HANDS ON SO. I DON'T NEED
TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS FOR ME
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT
MORE PANELS WE WON IT BUT IT'S
MORE I'M JUST EXPRESSING. SINCE
I'M NOT IN THE SUBCOMMITTEE AND
DIE OKAY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH JOHNSON TO
SKINNER AND DOCTOR OPINION.
WELL THANK YOU SENATOR FOR
ASKING ME THE QUESTIONS I WAS
GOING TO BRING UP BECAUSE I
NOTED THAT YOU SET THE GOAL OF
THIS IS SHORT TERM SERVING SOME
BADGES AND BASICALLY LEADING TO
WORK FORCE EITHER PROMOTION ARE
A NEW CAREERS BUT A LOT OF. I
MEAN I USED TO DO HEALTH
PROFESSIONS ACCREDITATION. YOU
NEED TO DO HANDS ON SO YOU HAVE
TO HAVE A LEVERAGE POINT TO DO
THAT SO YOU CAN DO ONLINE FOR
PART OF IT BY CONTENT BUT. AND
THE OTHER THING IS I MEAN YOU
MENTION LIKE VANCE MANY FACTIONS
I'VE TURNED TOWARD MANUFACTURES
MY OWN DISTRICT.
.
PART OF WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR
IS NOT JUST GENERIC EDUCATION
BUT EDUCATION IS TARGETED TOWARD
AND SO THAT'S WHERE THE
PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE LOCAL
COMMUNICABLE JUST A STRICT AND
THE MANUFACTURER TAKES PLACE
THAT WILL ACTUALLY LEAD TO A JOB.
AND SO I THINK YOU.
I'M JUST CONCERNED YOUR TREE AND
WE'LL GET INTO SOME OF THIS WHEN
YOU TALK ABOUT GOVERNANCE AND
SECOND PANEL WHEN WE FINALLY GET
THERE. BUT YOU KNOW YOU'RE YOU
CREATE THIS SCHOOL THIS WIRE
ONLINE WHERE MY CALL IT SCHOOL
OUT THERE IF IT DOESN'T HAVE A
RELATIONSHIP. WITH.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THAT'S
HAPPENING THE THE CONNECTION
BETWEEN THE LOCAL COMMUNICATIONS
STRICT AND THE PLAYERS
MANUFACTURING HEALTHCARE
WHATEVER. IF YOU'RE NOT
LEVERAGING THAT. YOU CAN GET
PEOPLE WE CAN SAIL I TOOK THESE
COURSES BUT THEY'RE NOT GONNA
GET THAT ENTREE SO I AM. I AM
CONCERNED THAT WE'RE CREATING
THIS ENTITY THAT SEPARATED.
BUT ACTUALLY AND INSTEAD OF
TRYING TO LEVERAGE WHAT WE
ALREADY HAVE NOT JUST IN TERMS
OF ALSO WAS ORIGINALLY COURSES
BUT ACTUALLY EVEN ON THE HOW TO
EAT.
TURN THIS.
SAYING THAT. YOU'RE CREATING FOR
THE VERY PURPOSE OF TRYING TO
HELP. RIGHT GET PEOPLE CLOSE
EDUCATE FROM GAP TO GET PEOPLE
NEW OPPORTUNITIES ARE READY IN
THE WORK FORCE. SO I THINK
THAT'S A DETAIL A BIG DETAIL
THAT NEEDS TO BE FIGURED OUT
BEFORE WE LAUNCH THIS AND.
SO FOR.
AND SINCE DOCTOR PAN INSTEAD OF
JUST GOING TO ASK THEM A
QUESTION IN TERMS OF HOW YOU
CONNECT FOUR KIND OF HANDS ON
PRACTICUM IF YOU COULD ADDRESS.
BOTH OF THEIR QUESTION DO YOU
HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS THAT-BAND OKAY AS IF YOU WERE DRESSED
I THINK THAT THAT'S HELPFUL
BECAUSE AT. THAT CAME UP ON.
FROM A COUPLE OF MEMBERS OF YOU
TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THAT
COURSEAND. BOTH OF THOSE
PERSPECTIVES AND QUESTIONS ARE
ARE ARE ARE CORRECT.
SOME SKILLS REQUIRE.
DEMONSTRATION OF THE SKILL.
I'M SO.
THAT'S WHY IT'S IMPORTANT AS
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT. THAT.
THIS ONLINE COLLEGE BE IN A
POSITION TO PARTNER WITH
EMPLOYER GROUPS INDUSTRY SECTOR
PARTNERS AS WELL AS. A LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS AND I THINK.
IF YOU LOOK AT THE COMMENTS IN
THE QUOTES OF THOSE WHO HAVE
COME OUT IN SUPPORT OF THIS.
FROM THE BEGINNING THAT IS THE
PRIMARY PURPOSE. THAT.
WE MARRY THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK
WITH LABOR ORGANIZATIONS OR
INDUSTRY PARTNERS. TO MARRY THE
TWO TOGETHER.
TO PROVIDE THOSE INDIVIDUALS WHO
CAN'T DROP EVERYTHING AND GO TO
A BRICK AND MORTAR COLLEGE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GAIN SOME SKILLS.
AND THEN WORKING WITH AN
INDUSTRY PARTNER.
OR A LABOR ORGANIZATION PROVIDE
THEM THE OPPORTUNITY DEMONSTRATE
THOSE SKILLS OR PARTNER WITH THE
COLLEGE THAT MAY BE IN THE
REGION. WHO COULD ALSO?
ALLOWS THE OPPORTUNITY AND A LOT
OF THE EMPLOYEES THE OPPORTUNITY
DEMONSTRATE THOSE SKILLS SO
THERE'S A NUMBER WAYS THAT WE
CAN GO ABOUT IT.
BUT THE KEY HERE IS.
THAT THE ON THE ON LINE COLLEGE
WOULD HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND
THE CONTENT EXPERTISE TO WORK
WITH EMPLOYERS AND LABOR
ORGANIZATIONS TO CREATE THOSE
JOBS DEALS.
INSTRUCTIONS THAT ARE VERY SHORT
TERM.
I WORK WITH THEM TO ENSURE THAT
THE EMPLOYER RECOGNIZES THOSE
SKILLS AND WHAT NEEDS TO BE
DEMONSTRATED.
TO.
TO QUANTIFY THOSE SKILLS.
AND IF I MAY I'D LIKE TO JUST
ADDRESS ONE OF YOUR OTHER POINT
SENATOR PAT IT WAS ACTUALLY
RAISED IN THE STAFF ANALYSIS AND
US SENATOR MCGUIRE ALSO
MENTIONED IT SOMEWHAT WHICH IS.
IN THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SPACE
WE ACTUALLY RECENTLY HAVE
INVESTED IN MOVING TOWARD THE
REGIONAL MODEL FOR WORKFORCE
DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THE STRONG
WORK FORCE PROGRAM AND ITS
LEVERAGING MANY DIFFERENT
FUNDING STREAMS INCLUDING
FEDERAL FUNDING AND BRINGING
TOGETHER LOCAL CONSORTIUMS TO
GET TO THIS ISSUE OF. OBVIOUSLY
WE HAVE MANY DIFFERENT REGIONAL
ECONOMIES IN THE STATE. WE'VE
YOU AT LEAST THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE THIS IN FURTHERANCE OF
THAT POLICY THAT. THOSE LOCAL
REGIONS CAN INFORM SOME OF THE
PATHWAYS ULTIMATELY WOULD BE
UTILIZED IN ONLINE COLLEGE NOT
AN ABSENCE OF. ON AND THAT'S NOT
TO TAKE AWAY FROM OBVIOUSLY
LOCAL COMMUNICANTS DISTRICTS
STILL NEED TO CONTINUE HAVING
CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR
INDUSTRY NEIGHBORS AND THERE ON.
BUSINESS LEADERS TO ADDRESS KIND
OF THOSE MORE IMMEDIATE NEEDS
BUT WE DO VIEW THIS IS
FURTHERING KIND OF THE WORK IN
LOOKING AT OUR WORK FORCE NEEDS
MORE REGIONALLY.
A VERY BRIEF COMMENT I MEAN THAT
IS WHAT I GUESS WHAT I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT IS YOU'RE
CREATING A NEW ENTITY.
AND.
AS YOU POINTED OUT WE HAVE
THESE REGIONAL AND THEY HAVE
RELATIONSHIPS THIRTY EXIST.
AND SO AND THAT'S WHAT MADE IT
THAT'S WHAT'S GONNA MAKE THEM
SUCCESSFUL AND SO YEAH YOU CAN
SAY THAT WE HAVE THIS REGIONAL
ENITY WERE WORKING WE DON'T
LOOK AT ALL THESE EMPLOYERS AND
SO FORTH. BUT YOU'RE NOT HAVING
TO REBUILD NEW RELATIONSHIPS AND
WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GOVERNANCE
YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHO'S RUNNING
WHAT. IS SO HIGH.
THAT I AND MY CONCERN IS AS WE
THINK THIS THROUGH YOU KNOW WE
WE WANT TO BUILD ON THE ASSETS
WHERE HE HAVE. ALWAYS GONNA
SPEND A LOT TIME AND EFFORT AND
MONEY ON TRYING TO REBUILD
THINGS THAT WE REALLY HAVE
ANTISEPTIC ADVANTAGE OF OUR
EXISTING. RELATIONSHIPS AND
OTHER TYPES OF THINGS.
DOCTOR PAM THANK YOU FOR THAT
PERFECT SEGUE INTO OUR NEXT
PANEL THANK YOU ON WE WANT TO
THANK. MR CABRAL FROM LA ALL FOR
JOINING US I'M GONNA ASK.
.
ON THIS CONSTANT ENTRANCE OAKLEY
TO KEEP THEIR FEET AND WE'LL BE
JOINED BY CECILIA ATHLON WHO'S
PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS.
I UNDERSTAND THE SYSTEM MODEL
HAS A TIME. ISSUES ARE GOING TO
ASK YOU TO GO FIRST. ON AND THEN
WE'LL.
ROLL INTO MISS COSTA AND THE
CHANCELLOR EIGHT THANK YOU
CHAIRMAN MITCHELL OF VICE CHAIR
NIELSEN SENATORS MY NAME CECILIA
EST ALONE AND I AM THE PRESIDENT
OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS OF THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
I'M HERE TODAY TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS SIN
TO CSX SUPPORT OF. THESE YES WE
SUPPORT OF THIS PROPOSAL.
AND WE DO THIS FOR A NUMBER OF
REASONS. PERSONAL IN A LINE FROM
VERY VERY WELL WITH OUR EMPHASIS
ON ENHANCING THE ABILITY OF
FOLKS IN CALIFORNIA TO LIFT
THEMSELVES OUT OF POVERTY.
WE HAVE A VISION FOR SUCCESS
THAT SAID AS ONE OF ITS GOALS.
I BELIEVE RAPIDLY INCREASING THE
NUMBER CERTIFICATES THAT PEOPLE
CAN ACHIEVE. AS WELL AS. MUCH AS
YOU DO RESEARCH CANCER BUT THE
HERE THE FOCUS REALLY IS ON THE
SHORT TERM CREDENTIALS. AND THIS
GIVES US AN OPPORTUNITY TO
REALLY MOVE ON THAT GOAL.
THE REASON WE'RE SO FOCUSED ON
THAT GOAL IS BECAUSE WE
UNDERSTAND HOW THE WORKFORCE IS
CHANGING IN IN NOT JUST. AMERICA
BUT SPECIFICALLY IN CALIFORNIA
WHERE THE LEADING EDGE OF OF
TECHNOLOGICAL CHANGE WITH MANY
THE CENTER'S REFERENCE TO THE
REMARKS TODAY. SO WE NEED TO
HAVE A SYSTEM THAT ENABLES
CALIFORNIANS IN THIS COHORT IS
TWENTY FIVE TO THIRTY FOUR YEAR
OLD TWO AND A HALF MILLION
CALIFORNIANS. WE NEED TO HAVE
THE A FLEXIBLE. ON DEMAND AND
PUBLIC WAY FOR THEM TO GET THESE
SHORT TERM CREDENTIALS RIGHT NOW
WE DON'T OFFER THEM IN THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNICABLE JUST.
OUR EXISTING COLLEGES ARE DOING
A TREMENDOUS PROGRAM ON CAREER
TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND I'VE
BEEN A PART OF THE BOARD FOR A
LITTLE OVER FOUR YEARS NOW
THAT'S BEEN THE FOCUS OF MUCH OF
MY TENURE ON THE BOARD. IS TO
PUSH THAT STRONG WORK FORCE
PROGRAM OUT THE DOOR AND I THINK
WE'VE HAD ALOT TO SHOW FOR IT.
INCLUDING THE REGIONAL
PARTNERSHIPS THAT SENATOR PAT
MENTIONED THEY'VE BEEN REALLY
PRIMARY TO SARK SUCCESS. BUT
WHAT THOSE PROGRAMS DO NOT
DELIVER ARE THAT TYPE OF
FLEXIBLE ON DEMAND I UNDERSCORE
THE ON DEMAND. ON PUBLIC OPTIONS
RIGHT WHEN I TALK ABOUT THAT
SHORT TERM CREDENTIAL IT'S
SOMETHING THAT COULD CHANGE ON A
DIME WE SAW THIS IN THE
RECESSION. WE SAW WHOLE
INDUSTRIES GET DECIMATED PEOPLE
SUDDENLY NEEDING COMPLETELY TO
RE SKILL OR AN ASPECT OF THEIR
JOB ROB RADICALLY CHANGED THAT
NEED NEEDED QUICKLY TO GET A NEW
CREDENTIAL OR A NEW
CERTIFICATION FOR. AND THAT'S
WHAT THIS IS INTENDED TO RESPOND
TO.
SO WE NEED TO HAVE A SYSTEM FROM
THE GROUND UP HAS LEARNED
LESSONS FROM THE LAST RECESSION.
NOW BEFORE WE GET INTO THE NEXT
RECESSION WE SET THE INSTITUTION
THE FRAMEWORK TO BE FLEXIBLE.
AND THIRD WE MAKE SURE. THAT WE
PUT TOGETHER THE BUSINESS PLAN
THAT THE SENATOR MAGUIRE'S
TALKING ABOUT. THAT CAN ACTUALLY
APPEAL TO CALIFORNIANS SO THAT
THEY ARE NOT BEING PREYED UPON
BY UNSCRUPULOUS FOR PROFIT
INSTITUTIONS. THIS IS MORE THAN
A SMALL MARKET NEEDS THIS IS AN
IMPORTANT MARKET SEGMENT FOR
PEOPLE OUTSIDE OF THE STATE WHO
ARE TARGETING OUR STUDENTS. TO
THE BORD OF GOVERNORS WE'RE
DELIGHTED TO SUPPORT THIS
BECAUSE IT HELPS UNDERSCORE THE
GOAL OF CREATING. ACCOUNTABLE.
AFFORDABLE AND PUBLIC OPTIONS
FOR OUR FOLKS WHO NEED CAREER
CREDENTIALS AGAIN CAREER
CREDENTIALS I THINK PERHAPS THE
NAME OF COLLEGE ONLINE COLLEGE.
MIGHT BE CONFUSING THE
SITUATIONAL LITTLE BIT I MEAN
PERHAPS SENATOR JACKSON'S RIGHT
MAYBE WE DO NEED TO WORK WITH
ANOTHER NAME SO THAT IT'S NOT
CONFUSING TO FOLKS. AND WE'RE
OPEN T THAT SOAK IN THE FIRST
REASON WORKED VERY SUPPORTIVE
ABOUT THIS IS GOING TO HELP US
GIVE CALIFORNIANS ACCESS TO THE
SHORT TERM CREDENTIALS IN THE
CHANGING ECONOMY THAT'S CHANGING
SO RAPIDLY. THE SECOND IF THE
LINES FERRY VERY WELL WITH OUR
STRONG WORK FORCE EFFORTS IT'S
THE NEXT LEVEL.
SO THIS IS ADDITIVE THIS IS NOT
COMPETITIVE THIS IS ADDITIVE WE
CREATED THESE REGIONAL
CONSORTIUMS THEY'VE WORKED WELL
WITH THEIR INDUSTRY PARTNERS
WITH THEIR LABOR PARTNERS. BUT
NOW WE HAVE THIS OTHER NATIONS
THAT WE CAN OFFER TO PEOPLE THAT
ARE CURRENCIES TO ME DOESN'T
PROVIDE.
AND THE THIRD REASON WE'RE
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS IS
THAT IT PROVIDES THAT PUBLIC
PIECE THAT ACCOUNTABILITY AND
THAT AFFORDABILITY WE THINK AS
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS WHO WERE
IN A VERY GOOD POSITION TO BE
THAT TRANSITIONAL GOVERNANCE
STRUCTURE. I UNDERSCORE
TRANSITIONAL FIRST OF ALL WE
REPRESENT THE ENTIRE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE DON'T ONLY
REPRESENT ONE GEOGRAPHIC AREA.
WE HAVE ON OUR BOARD TRUSTEES.
FACULTY MEMBERS CLASSIFIED
EMPLOYEES STUDENTS. AS WELL AS
MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WITH A
DIVERSE SET. OF INSTITUTIONAL
CAREER PROFESSIONAL. EXPERTISE.
WE COME FROM. A VARIETY OF
FIELDS AND EVERY TIME WE COME TO
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS WE BRING
THAT EXPERTISE TO THE TABLE AND
WE LOOK ACROSS THE ENTIRE STATE.
WE DON'T ONLY THINK ABOUT LOS
ANGELES OR SACRAMENTO ORANGE
COUNTY WE LOOK ACROSS THE ENTIRE
STATE AND WE'RE VERY MINDFUL OF
THE INCREDIBLE TO SERVER CITY.
OF OUR HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
COLLEGES FROM THE FAR NORTH TO
THE INLAND EMPIRE TO THE FAR
SOUTH.
SO WE THINK WE'RE GOOD
TRANSITIONAL BODY. WE KNOW THAT
THESE GOVERNANCE QUESTIONS ARE
DIFFICULT THEY'RE CHALLENGING.
I THOUGHT SENATOR GLAZER WAS
REALLY EXCELLENT OPENING REMARKS
TALKING ABOUT.
.
HOW HARD IT IS TO TRY TO DO
SOMETHING NEW WHEN YOU HAVE AN
INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK THAT
ALREADY EXIST OUR TENDENCY IS TO
JUST SAY HOW DO WE GO ON THIS
IDEA ONTO WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE?
RADICAL WITH KNOWLEDGE THAT.
BUT THAT'S WHAT IT'S GOING TO
TAKE BECAUSE OUR TWO ECONOMY IS
RADICALLY CHANGING. SO WE NEED
TO GET AHEAD OF THE CURVE
BECAUSE IF WE DON'T AS THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA.
BASICALLY ALL THESE OUTSIDE
INSTITUTIONS THAT DON'T HAVE A
PUBLIC MINDSET WILL COME IN AND
THEY WILL PROVIDE SERVICES TO
OUR STUDENTS. BUT THEY WILL BE
PUBLIC FIND IT THEY WON'T BE
ACCOUNTABLE AND THEY WON'T BE
AFFORDABLE.
SO WHAT WE OFFER TO YOU AT THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS IS WE ARE
READY TO TAKE THE SONG WE ARE
READY TO DO AGAIN. WE HAVE A
REALLY GREAT BOARD AND.
I LOOK FORWARD TO INTRODUCING
MY FELLOW BOARD MEMBERS TO AT
SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE YOU'VE
SEEN SOME OF THEM SOME OF YOU
HAVE SEEN THEM DURING THE.
PERMISSION HEARINGS OF THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS.
REALLY SMART BUNCH OF PEOPLE AND
THE FULLY COMMITTED TO SEEING
THIS HAPPEN. AND WE WILL GIVE
THIS THE SUPPORT WE NEED AND
SPECIFICALLY FOR THOSE OF YOU
COME FROM LOCAL GOVERNMENT WHERE
I SERVE IMAGINE HAPPENING AS WE
SERVE AS TRANSITIONAL BOARD IS.
YOU KNOW WE'LL MEET OTHER BOARD
OF GOVERNORS AND THEN WE'LL TURN
OUR MEETING AND THEN WE'LL PUT
ON OUR HATS AS THE TRUSTEES OF
THIS NEW ONLINE INSTITUTE.
AND WILL ACT AS THAT ONLINE
INSTITUTE BOARD TRUSTEES UNTIL
THE APPROPRIATE PERMANENT BODY
IS ESTABLISHED. THIS IS GOING TO
BE A DIFFICULT TIME TO SET IT UP.
AND YOU HAVE FOLKS WHO'VE BEEN
WORKING ON A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ISSUES FROM SOUP TO NUTS FOR THE
LAST SEVERAL YEARS WEREN'T GREAT
POSITION TO HELP STEER THIS.
ALONG WITH THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE SO WITH THAT I WILL
CONCLUDE REMOTE MORE MARKS BE
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH LET'S GO
AHEAD AND OUR COLLEAGUES IF YOU
HAVE. QUESTIONS OF MISS ATHLON
BECAUSE I KNOW SHE HAS. WILL
START WITH MISS.
SKINNER FOLLOWED BY SENATOR
MORLOCK.
SO I APPRECIATE YOUR MARKS IN
YOUR ENTHUSIASM.
I COULDN'T HELP BUT RESPOND TO
IT THOUGH WITH THAT YOU WERE
MAKING A GREAT ARGUMENT. TO HAVE
THIS AT MORE SITES SO NOT AGAIN
NOT NECESSARILY AT ALL HUNDRED
AND FOURTEEN. BUT I WAS VERY
STRUCK BY YES WE HAVE TO BE MORE
RESPONSIVE WE ARE IN A RADICALLY
CHANGING IN TRANSFORMING A
CONDOM ME. AND IT'S.
I WOULDN'T SAY IT'S COMPLETELY
DIFFERENT ROUTE EVERY REGION AND
YET THERE ARE REGIONAL
DIFFERENCES. AND WE ALSO KNOW
THAT SOME LEVEL OF THIS WHILE I
THINK MOST OF IT CAN BE DONE
ONLINE THERE IS SOME LEVEL THAT
HAS TO BE DONE.
FACE TO FACE OR HANDS ON AND THE
PARTNERSHIPS WITH THE EMPLOYERS
OR LABOR AND SUCH IS SO
ESSENTIAL. SO IT STILL. I RETURN
TO.
THAT IT SEEMS YOU MADE THE
GREATEST ARGUMENT FOR USING SOME
NUMBER OF SITES ACROSS THE STATE
THAT CAN BE A BALANCED
GEOGRAPHICALLY THAT CAN BE
BALANCED FOR THE TYPE OF
PARTNERSHIPS THAT THEY CAN.
THEN ENGAGE IN AND.
AND THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT
HANDS ON WHILE THERE WOULD
CERTAINLY BE SOME TRAVEL BECAUSE
OBVIOUSLY IF THERE'S. YOU KNOW
LOOK BAD WHATEVER I'M NOT A
HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN SITES THEN
IF A STUDENT WAS GOING TO NEED
TO DO A PHYSICAL THING TWICE OR
SOMETHING. WOULD CHANGE WE HAVE
TO TRAVEL BUT AT LEAST IT
WOULDN'T BE LIKE NOW WHERE THEY
SAY ATTENDED COMMUNITY COLLEGE
YOU KNOW THREE TIMES A WEEK OR
EVERY DAY. SO ANYWAY IT.
POLITIES BUT.
THE ARGUMENT SOUNDED TO ME LIKE
ONE THAT WAS REALLY.
STRONGER FR.
POTENTIALLY A BROADER THING
THAN A SINGLE INS ESPECIALLY A
STATE THIS. LARGE BOTH
POPULATION WISE IN
GEOGRAPHICALLY. CONSIDER SKINNER
FINALLY RESPONDED THAT I THINK
YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN THE
WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE A
DISASSOCIATED. ONLINE ENTITY
THAT HAS NO RELATIONSHIP TO THE
COMMUNITY NO ONE HAS SUGGESTED
THAT THE IDEAS THAT IT WOULD
WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THESE
REGIONAL SITUATIONS THAT WE
CREATED WE'VE BEEN SPEARHEADING
THE STRONG WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT.
INITIATIVE BUT AGAIN THERE IS A
GAP THAT WE CANNOT FEEL AT THE
LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND THE
ONLINE AND EDUCATION SHOULD HAVE
BEEN TERRIFIC BUT I THINK FROM
OUR LAST BOARD OF GOVERNORS
MEETING WHERE WE HAD A REPORT.
WHICH SIX COLLEGES PARTICIPANTS
THINK OF SEVENTY THOUSAND
STUDENTS.
WE'VE TOURED HALF MILLION
STUDENTS WE NEED TO REACH WE
NEED TO SCALE.
AND WHAT'S VERY DIFFICULT IS FOR
A SINGLE DISTRICT OR EVEN A
CONSORTIUM TO SCALE. AT A RAPID
RATE TEACHES WE'VE SEEN IT AGAIN
AND AGAIN AND AGAIN WE'RE DOING
TREMENDOUS WORK IT'S
COMMUNICABLE THIS AND I APPLAUD
THEM IN EVERY MEETING WERE
HOLDING UP GREAT EXAMPLES.
BUT IF WE REALLY WANT TO HAVE
IMPACT WITH THIS POPULATION.
WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO TAKE IT
OUT OF THE DAY TO DAY GRIND OF
THE MULTIPLE INITIATIVES THAT
OUR COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE
LABORING UNDER. AND REALLY FOCUS
ON THIS POPULATION IT IS A
DIFFERENT POPULATION IS NOT
PEOPLE THEY ARE CURRENTLY
REACHING. I I HAVE TO SAY IT
AGAIN AGAIN THE POINT IS TO GIVE
THESE FOLKS WHO CANNOT CURRENTLY
ACCESS OR COMMUNICABLE JUST.
BECAUSE THEY'RE WORKING BECAUSE
THEIR PARENTS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
WAIT FOR A SEMESTER TO START.
GIVE THEM ACCESS SO THAT'S WHY I
THINK WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP IN
AND HAVING FIELD WORKERS SOME
WAY FOR FOR ONLINE ARMS OR HANDS
ON WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN. INTO
DEPENDING ON THE THREE FIELDS WE
WE CHOOSE AND WE WILL ENTER INTO
PARTNERSHIPS WITH. OUR REGIONAL
CONSORTIUM I IMAGINE THAT
HAPPENING BUT THE ADMINISTRATION
THE FOCUS WE CAN PROVIDE REALLY
DOES NEED TO HAPPEN IN A
SEPARATE ENTITY IS OUR BELIEF.
BURGESS PLUS COMMENTED IT I
AGREE THAT IT'S A DIFFERENT
POPULATION I AGREED THAT IT'S
SOMETHING THAT ISN'T BEING
SERVED NOW AND SO THAT'S WHY I
REJECT THE ANALOGY BETWEEN THE
ONLINE EFFORT THAT ARE
COMMUNICABLE EDGES ALREADY HALF
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS
IS A DIFFERENT. BUT I STILL
THINK THE ARGUMENT WAS WELL MADE
FOR.
MORE SITES THAN IT DID JUST A
VIRTUAL.
THANK YOU MANAGER. MISS AS
TORONTO I WANNA TALK ABOUT
GOVERNANCE I'M IN EVERYTHING IS
STILL PAGAN AZ SO.
ARE WE TALKING ABOUT.
INDEPENDENCE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
AN INDEPENDENT BOARD THAT YOU
HAVE WITH. INDEPENDENT COLLEGE
BOARDS THROUGHOUT THE STATE IS A.
CHANCE FOR OAKLEY HAS BRAGGED
ABOUT.
TIME JUST SITTING HERE THINKING
I SERVED ON THE ORANGE COUNTY
VECTOR CONTROL BOARD WHICH IS A
MOSQUITO ABATEMENT BOARD. WE
HAVE THIRTY FOUR CITIES AND WE
HAVE THE COUNTY SO WE HAD A
THIRTY FIVE MEMBER BOARD. WHICH
I THOUGHT WOULD BE KIND OF CRAZY
BUT IT WAS ACTUALLY KIND OF FUN.
AND IT WAS A GREAT WAY TO WORK
WITH ALL THE CITIES. SO I'M JUST
SITTING HERE THINKING ABOUT
GOVERNANCE I'M JUST WONDERING IF
YOU SHOULD HAVE SEVENTY TWO
MEMBERS. ON YOUR INDEPENDENT
COLLEGE BOARD.
AND IT MIGHT BE A GREAT COHESIVE
OPPORTUNITY.
TO LIST ALL YOUR ALL YOUR
COLLEGE CANCERS WOULD WORK
TOGETHER.
IN IN KIND OF UNIFIED FASHION
THAT ALONE.
WELL I'M STILL MAKE ONE COMMENT
AS PRESIDENT THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS OF THE BOARD OF
SEVENTEEN MEMBERS.
I THINK BE VERY DIFFICULT TO
CHAIR SEVENTEEN MEMBER BODY BUT.
IT BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD ASK THE
SPEAKER THE SIMPLY ABOUT THAT.
I THINK IN A HUNDRED FOURTEEN AS
WELL. YEAH I'M A LITTLE I'M JUST
WONDERING WHAT YOU KNOW WHAT I
WAS FEELING DOWN YOU HAVE
REASONS TO HAVE.
YOU KNOW SO THEN YOU GET MORE
YOU KNOW OWNERSHIP AND AND AND
SKIN IN THE GAME WITH ALL OF
YOUR.
MEMBERS.
IT MIGHT BE HELPFUL AT THIS
POINT MADAM CHAIR FOR ME TO JUST
OUTLINE WHAT THE TRAILER BILL
ACTUALLY SPECIFIES IS THE
GOVERNANCE MODEL.
SO AS HAS BEEN TESTIFIED BUT
JUST TO MAKE IT REALLY CLEAR AT
THE TRAILER BILL ACTUALLY
ESTABLISHES A NEW DISTRICT
THAT'S KNOWN AS A LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCY THAT'S
IMPORTANT FOR PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT PURPOSES. THAT DISTRICT
THAT NATIONALLY IS UNLIKE A
LOCAL DISTRICT AND THIS IS WHERE
HISTORY IS ALSO A LITTLE BIT
IMPORTANT. OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ACTUALLY COME OUT OF
THE CAGE TWELVE WORLD THAT'S HOW
LOCAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE BOARDS
CAME INTO EXISTENCE THEY
ORIGINALLY PART OF HIGH SCHOOLS.
ALMOND SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THE
LOCAL COMMUNICATIVE BOARDS THAT
WE DO NOW. ON WHAT'S DIFFERENT
ABOUT THIS STRUCTURE IS THAT AT
LEAST INITIALLY THE BOARD OF
GOVERNORS WOULD SERVE AS THE
DISTRICT'S GOVERNING BOARD THE
TRAILER PARK BILL ACTUALLY
SPECIFIES THAT NO LATER THAN
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE. AN
INDEPENDENT BOARD OF TRUSTEES
WOULD BE SELECTED SPECIFICALLY
THAT GOVERNING BOARD CONSISTS OF
FIVE VOTING MEMBERS AND TO NON
VOTING MEMBERS. OF THE VOTING
MEMBERS ONE WILL BE APPOINTED BY
THE ASSEMBLY UP BY THE SPEAKER
THE ASSEMBLY ONE WILL BE
APPOINTED BY THE SENATE
COMMITTEE ON RULES AND THREE
MEMBERS WILL BE APPOINTED BY THE
GOVERNOR. THE TWO NON VOTING
MEMBERS WILL ALSO BE APPOINTED
BY THE GOVERNOR SO AS THE
CHANCELLOR TESTIFIED TO
PREVIOUSLY THE GOVERNANCE
STRUCTURE WE HAD IN MIND IS
REALLY EIGHT EIGHTY. TWO PHASE
APPROACH IN THE INITIAL PHASE AS
WE WANT TO REALLY EXPEDITES US
STANDING UP THIS COLLEGE THE
BOARD OF GOVERNORS WOULD SERVE
AS THE GOVERNING BODY ONCE THIS
BECOMES MORE MATURE AT THAT AND
WOULD TRANSITION OVER INTO
REALLY WHAT IS. A GOVERNING
STRUCTURE THAT'S MORE AKIN TO
USE SEARS THE ISSUE WHICH IS
REALLY A STATE WIDE BODY IN
WHICH THE INDIVIDUALS ARE
APPOINTED.
WELL YOU'RE TAKING ALL THE FUN
OUT OF IT YOU COULD EVEN HAVE AN
ONLINE BOARD MEETING.
YES I HAVE ONE VERY CRITICAL
QUESTION THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR.
DOES THE TRAILER BILL ALSO
IDENTIFY WHAT THE MASCOT WILL BE.
YEAH. AGAIN OPEN SUGGESTIONS ON
THAT SENATOR.
KIM IS GOING TO BE LIKE YOUR
MEDITATION.
YEAH I.
TWO POINTS FOR YOU SENATOR ALAN
FOR.
THANK YOU.
.
WE HAD SUCH AN END MUSING
CONVERSATION GOING ON IN ONE AND
ROBERT.
.
SO I. GUESS I APPRECIATE. SAUCE
ON YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND.
CERTAINLY ELLIS SENATOR WE YOU
KNOW WE WE HAVE TO.
.
OF ALL THE PEOPLE IN THE BOARD A
VERY SMART VERY TALENTED AND.
BUT I GUESS ONE OF THINGS I'M
STRUGGLING WITH IS IS THAT.
.
AND HERE JUST LIKE OKAY WERE I'M
OLD AND I NEVER GOT EVENTUALLY A
SEPARATE BOARD. THAN THAT YOU
KNOW WE NEED TO DO THIS WE HAVE
A SEPARATE ORGANIZATION SO. BUT
WE THINK ABOUT THE ASSETS OF THE
COMMITTEE COLLEGE SYSTEM RIGHT.
BUT WILL IT I GUESS FIRST
QUESTION I I UNDERSTAND AND
CERTAINLY AGREE THAT WE HAVE A
CHALLENGE WHERE WE HAVE OTHER.
FOR PROFIT OTHER TYPES AND THESE
WHO MAY NOT DO SUCH A GOOD JOB.
SOME OF THEM MIGHT BE I CAN'T
ASK HIM THAT.
AND AND THEY MAY BE TRYING TO
CREATE SOME OPPORTUNITY I GUESS
ONE QUESTION IS IS THAT IS THAT
OKAY WHAT WE HAVE THIS BOREDOM
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT DOING THIS
DO YOU HAVE AN EXISTING MODEL
THAT YOU KNOW WORKS BETTER I
APPRECIATE THE COUNT ABILITY
THAT WE CAN OVERSIGHT THAT. SAY
BUT. FRANKLY IT IS GOOD OR BAD
LEE IS WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE FACULTY IN THE
COMMUNICABLE SYSTEM WHO ARE TO
DEDICATE A WHOLE CAREERS TO
EDUCATION RIGHT AND ME ALL WE
CAN ARGUE ABOUT THAT. AND SO
SOME OF THEM TRY TO DO SOME
ONLINE STUFF AND SO FORTH AND I
THINK WE NEED TO GET MORE OF
THAT BUT NOW WE CREATE SEPARATE
ENTITY.
AND WHO WEREN'T AS SAYING THAT
IT'S GOING TO BE MORE
ACCOUNTABLE CAN BE BETTER THAN
THE NOW POTENTIALLY PREDATORY OR
WHATEVER OTHER FOLKS THAT ARE
OUT THERE AND YET THERE IS A
NICHE THAT NEEDS TO BE FILLED
BUT. TELL ME WHAT IS IT THAT
YOU'RE READY NO RIGHT NOW THAT'S
GOING TO PROVE THAT YOU CAN DO
BETTER.
WITH A SEPARATE ENTITY DOING ITS
OWN THING YOU HAVE AN EXISTING
MODEL THAT YOU REALLY HAVE IN
MIND THAT A RACE PROVEN TO DO
BETTER THAN EITHER OBVIOUSLY THE
PREDATORY FOLKS. OR OUR EXISTING
ONLINE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE
CURRENT FACULTY A READY DOING.
SO I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN TO SOME
DEFICIENCIES AND SOME OF THEM
BUT.
YOU KNOW IN TERMS OF SCALE AND
SO FORTH BUT. TELL ME THAT YOU
ALREADY HAVE A PROVEN MODEL THAT
YOU'RE GOING TO RUN WITH THAT
ALREADY SHOWN BETTER RESULTS DO
YOU HAVE THAT READY.
IF I CAN ANSWER THAT SOONER BAND.
WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING IS TO USE
A COMPANY BASED EDUCATION MODEL?
COMPANY BASED EDUCATION IS A
MODEL THAT'S BEING USED WITH
ADULT LEARNERS THROUGHOUT THE
COUNTRY. AND WE HAVE A LOT OF
DATA THAT SUGGESTS THAT IT IS IN
IN MANY WAYS FOR PARTICULAR
GROUPS OF INDIVIDUALS A BETTER
MODEL. THAN YOUR TRADITIONAL
SEAT TIME MODEL.
WE HAVE FACULTY ARE FACULTY.
WOULD BE AT THE CORE OF THAT
CONTENT TO LOOK DEVELOPMENT AND
DELIVERY.
WE WOULD PROVIDE THE
PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING NETWORK TO
NOT ONLY. ALLOW THAT THAT
FACULTY WHO IS GOING TO BE
TEACHING IN THE ENVIRONMENT THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ENGAGE IN THAT
NEW.
OPPORTUNITY BUT ALSO INFORM.
ALL OF OUR FACULTY ABOUT THESE
ADDITIONAL LEARNING MODELS WHAT
WE. WE I CANNOT SIT HERE AND
TELL YOU THE COMPANY BASED
EDUCATION OR THE TIME CREDIT
MODEL OR ANY OTHER MODEL IS A
SILVER BULLET.
BUT WE WANT ONE MORE DELIVERY
MODEL SOSA FIRST KNOWLEDGE OF
THE CLARIFY SO YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
.
I GUESS ADDITIONAL TRAINING FOR
EXISTING FACULTY DEVELOP THESE
THINGS RIGHT ABSOLUTELY
EVERYTHING OKAY AND DIE THE WAY
I SHOULD KNOW. I WAS A RESIDENCY
PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND TOM AND I
WAS ON THE. TOES OF MEDICAL
FIELD AND ACGME ACCREDITATION
COUNCIL GRADUATE MEDICAL
EDUCATION SO WE USE THE
COMPETENCY BASED MODEL.
AND SO I AGREE THAT IT WOULD
TURN TO SEE TIME VERSUS BUT ALSO
MY EXPERIENCE AS SOMEONE WHO USE
THE COPS IN SPACE MODEL. ELDERS.
AND THIS GOES BACK TO THE SKILL
PART HER EIGHT YEAH UP ONLINE
HAS IT'S THAT SIGNIFICANT
LIMITATIONS RIGHT IT'S GOOD FOR
CONTENT TRANSFER. SKILL
DEMONSTRATION MAY MOVE MORE NOT
QUITE THERE YET.
AND HOW DO YOU DO ON SO SO
AGAIN THAT SPEAKS TO SOME OF THE
ISSUES THAT. HAVE BEEN RAISED
NOW ABOUT MYSELF AND MY
COLLEAGUES AS WELL AND I AND I
THINK.
I GUESS I I WOULDN'T.
SAYS THAT.
YOU KNOW I AM ONE BE CAREFUL.
THAT WE'RE NOT OVER PROMISING
BECAUSE THAT'S GREAT FINALLY A
NEW COMPETENCY BASED MODEL I
KNOW HOW HARD IT IS THAT HAD TO
DO IT.
AND I'VE ACTUALLY SAT ON
ACCREDITATION BODY THAT HAD TO
OVERSEE AND BE SURE THAT OTHER
PEOPLE WERE DOING IT. AND SO
IT'S YOU KNOW IT'S IT'S NOT AND
THEN I HEAR THIS WHAT WE HAVE A
NEED WE NEED TO TURN THINGS
AROUND REALLY QUICKLY BEGUN DO
IT RIGHT AND DO IT WELL.
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME TIME.
AND I THINK I APPRECIATE YOUR
USER EXISTING FACULTY BECAUSE I
THINK THOSE ARE THE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERTISE
AND GIVEN THEM SOME ADDITIONAL
SUPPORT.
BUT ALSO YOU KNOW WE COME SAY
COUNT ABILITY I MEAN I'M A BE
SURE THAT WHAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT
HOWEVER WE DO IT.
IS GOING TO ACTUALLY. BE BETTER
THAN WHAT'S ALREADY OUT THERE.
AND I AGAIN ONCE AGAIN I WOULD
SAY IS THAT I HOPE THAT WE WILL
LOOK AT LEVERAGING OUR EXISTING
ASSETS DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE DO
THINGS THE SAME RIGHT I'M NOT
JUST SAYING WELL WHY SAID BUT WE
LEVERAGE OUR EXISTING SKILL SETS
ASSETS.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE
THE QUICKEST PATH TO SUCCESS AND
I'M. THAT AND AGAIN THERE'S NOT
ENOUGH DETAIL SO WITH YOUR
WORKING IT OUT THAT HOPEFULLY
YOU TAKE THAT TO HEART.
THAT'S GOING TO BE ARE. THAT NOT
ONLY FASTEST THE MOST EFFECTIVE
WAY TO ACTUALLY SERVE THE VERY
POPULATION THINK WE ALL AGREE
NOW ISN'T THERE'S A GAP AND WE
NEED TO SERVE BUT.
RIGHT NOW I'M JUST HEARING
COMPETENCE BASED MODEL THAT'S
GREAT BUT THERE'S A LOT OF
DETAILS AND IMPLEMENTATION AND I
AND AND I'M NOT YOU KNOW I I
REALLY WOULD TO HEAR. LIKE WHY
DOES THE MODEL YEAR THAT THE
GOVERNANCE BODY PROPOING GOT
LEAD TO THAT QUICKER THAN
LEVERAGING.
THE WHAT WE.
THE STRENGTHS THAT EXIST IN
MANY OF OUR AND AND THEN SCALE
YEAH WE HAVE GOT THE SCALING
PART ACTUALLY I THINK IT'S NOT.
THAT'S THAT'S THE PART THAT
PERHAPS WE NEED TO REALLY TEACH.
OUR. OUR OUR LOCALS.
THERE'S ONE POINT I WANT TO MAKE
JUST BECAUSE THE TOPIC KEEPS
COMING UP IT HAS TO DO WITH
EXISTING STATUTES SO PART OF THE.
CONVERSATION WE HAD WHEN WE
WEIGHED THESE DIFFERENT OPTIONS
OF WHETHER OR NOT WE DO A
CONSORTIUM WHETHER OR NOT WE
CREATE SOMETHING NEW. IS THERE
ARE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS IN
STATUTE INCLUDING THE ACADEMIC
CALENDAR THE WAY WITH BEING ABLE
TO CREATE SOMETHING BRAND NEW WE
WERE ALSO ABLE TO CREATE A MODEL
IN WHICH.
I CAN DECIDE TOMORROW I WANT TO
SIGN UP FOR ONE OF THESE
PATHWAYS VERSUS HAVING TO WAIT
FOR THE NEXT.
AVAILABLE.
COURSE TO CALM IN CONJUNCTION
WITH ACADEMIC CALENDAR SO THERE
ARE SOME STATUTORY REASONS WHY
WE STRUCTURED IT IN THIS WAY TO
GIVE IT MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY THAT
WE THOUGHT. REALLY SERVED THIS
POPULATION OF STUDENTS.
OKAY WELL I APPRECIATE THAT I
WOULD JUST SAY THAT.
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT TO
LAWMAKERS OF THERE'S EXISTING
STATUTE WE CAN MODIFY THOSE.
AND
AND AND AND AND I AGREE THAT WE
DO NEED TO HAVE STATS PART OF
WHAT'S HOLDING IT UP I MEAN WE
WE DO NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER
IT'S ONLINE OR OTHERWISE. HOW DO
WE CREATE A MUCH MORE FLEXIBLE
SYSTEM THAT'S NOT DRIVEN BY THE
TRADITIONAL ACADEMIC CALENDAR
BUT I ALSO THINK WE NEED TO
BUILD ON OUR ASSETS THAT WE HAVE
OUR DOUBTS ACTUALLY HAVE
EXPERIENCE DOING THIS ARE?
INDUSTRY PARTNERS WHO OFTEN TO
DEVELOP AT LOCAL LEVELS BECAUSE
THEY'RE NOT THERE IN THE STREET
YOU KNOW THAT THAT.
THAT'S RIGHT INDUSTRY MAKES US
ACROSS THE DAY CALIFORNIA BUT
THEIR SPECIFIC REGIONAL OR LOCAL
NEEDS THAT. FURTHER WORK FORCE
THAT THAT THAT THEY NEED TO
DRESS ON AND IT'S BETTER
ETCETERA.
AND WITH THAT.
ARE THERE ANY OTHER ISSUES
AROUND GOVERNANCE EITHER ONE OF
YOU WANTEDTO ADDRESS BEFORE WE
WRAP UP YOUR PANEL.
AND SO BEFORE YOU ALL LEAVE LET
ME JUST SAY I THINK KIND OF IN
CLOSING THAT I I WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU ALL DON'T
INTERPRET THE QUESTIONS POSED
TODAY AS. ANY DENIAL ON OUR PART
ABOUT THE CHALLENGES COMMUNITY
COLLEGES STUDENTS ARE
EXPERIENCING.
ACCESS.
ANY DID NOT I'LL REGARDING THE
VALUE OF ONLINE EDUCATION WE
UNDERSTAND THAT. ITS UTILIZATION
ACTUALLY IS ON THE INCREASE. NOR
WE QUESTION THE CAPACITY OF THE
BOARD MEMBERS.
IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DIG
DEEP TECHNICAL WORK. I'M TALKING
ABOUT A SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT
OF PUBLIC RESOURCES. AND THE
CREATION OF A NEW INFRASTRUCTURE.
ALL I HOPE THAT IT IS ALSO CLEAR
TO YOU ALL THAT ARE YOUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE BEEN ON
THEIR PEACE IN HOUSTON IT
REACHED OUT. TO MEMBERS OF THIS
COMMITTEE BOMB TO EXPRESS THEIR
QUESTIONS AND CONCERNS AS WELL.
ON IT WHILE YOU'RE.
IT STATED GOAL BY CREATING THIS
NEW INFRASTRUCTURE IS NOT IS TO
AVOID. A SENSE OF COMPETITION
ABOUT RESOURCES. CLEARLY THEY
ARE NOT FEELING THAT THEY ARE
FEELING THAT IT IS.
PULLEY RESOURCES AWAY FROM
THEIR. EXISTING PROGRAMS AND SO
I THINK I JUST SAY ALL THAT TO
SAY.
CLEARLY THERE'S WORK TO DO.
I KNOW CENTER FOURTEEN IT WILL
AGAIN.
ADDRESS THIS ISSUE TO THE
SUBCOMMITTEE PROCESS WE
APPRECIATE. YOU ALL GIVING US
THE TIME TO ALLOW THE FULL
BUDGET COMMITTEE TO AIR SOME OF
THE QUESTIONS.
THAT THEY HAVE HAD ON AN ISSUE
THAT HAS BEEN PRESENTED TO THEM
BY COMMUNITY COLLEGE IN THEIR
VARIOUS DISTRICTS SO THAT WE
THANK YOU ALL FOR COMING.
LET ME APOLOGIZE TO THE
STAKEHOLDER GROUP WE APPRECIATE
YOUR PATIENCE AND INVITE YOU TO
COME TO THE TABLE.
QUICKLY PLEASE.
VERY WARM.
AND SO COLLEAGUES WE'VE GOT FOR
LOCAL AND STATE COURT WITH THE
THIRD POUNDS LOCAL AND
STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVE. TO
BRING THAT TO US.
IT. DOESN'T MATTER WHAT ORDER
YOU SIT IN AUGUST WILL GO THE
ORDER TO ELICIT AGENT I SAW
PEOPLE LOOKING LIKE WHAT I SAID.
THE PRESIDENT OF FOOTHILL
COLLEGE PRESIDENT PRESIDENT WIN
PRESIDENT OF MOUNTS THAT BILL
SCROGGINS VICE PRESIDENT
ACADEMIC SENSE FOR CALIFORNIA
COMMITTEE COLLEGES JOHN STANCE
BECAUSE.
OKAY. AND CHERYL AUCTION BLOCK.
WHO IS CO CHAIR OF THE ONLINE
EDUCATION INSTEAD OF STEERING
COMMITTEE WITH THE FCC SEE
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEMBER AND
SHE'S A PROFESSOR PROFESSOR OF
ENGLISH? AT LAST IN COLLEGE WERE
GOING TO HEAR FROM PRESIDENT WIN
FIRST WELCOME AND THANK YOU HOW
EACH PALACES BEEN GIVEN.
APPROXIMATELY FIVE MINUTES FOR
THEIR PRESENTATION WILL ALLOW
YOU ALL TO PRESENT FIRST AND
THEN WE'LL HAVE MEMBERS.
.
PRESENT THE RED LIGHT MEANS
IT'S ALL AND I KNOW IT'S
COUNTERINTUITIVE BUT YES NOW
IT'S ON THANK YOU PRESENT WHEN
YOUR MORNING MADAMCHAIR US
SENATORS HAVE MEMBERS OF THE
PUBLIC MY NAME IS TWEETY WHEN
PRESIDENT. OF FOOTHILL COLLEGE
LOCATED IN SILICON VALLEY IT IS
AN HONOR FOR ME TO BE HERE TODAY
TO OFFER LOCAL PERSPECTIVE ON
THE PROPOSAL OF A NEW SISTER
CALLED COLLEGE. ALSO KNOWN BY
MANY OF US AS THE ONE HUNDRED
FIFTEEN COLLEGE.
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME
FOOTHILL COLLEGE PRESIDENT
TESTIFIES OF REGARDING ONLINE
EDUCATION IN FACT IN NINETEEN
NINETY FIVE. ARE THEN PRESIDENT
DOCTOR BERNADINE FOLLOWING THE
FOOTHILL COLLEGE TESTIFIED
BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY HIGHER
EDUCATION COMMITTEE. FOOTHILL
COLLEGE WAS THE FIRST COLLEGE TO
OFFER CREDIT ONLINE CLASSES IN
THIS STATE AND POSSIBLY IN THE
COUNTRY. THE ESSENCE OF THAT
HEARING WAS TO EXPLORE HOW IT IS
POSSIBLE FOR ONLINE EDUCATION TO
OCCUR WITHIN THE CONFINES OF
STATE LAW AT THE TIME.
AS A RECOVERING LAWYER I CAN
SURELY APPRECIATE SUCH CONCERNS.
TWENTY THREE YEARS LATER
FOOTHILL COLLEGE CONTINUES TO
OFFER A ROBUST ONLINE PROGRAM
WITH APPROXIMATELY THIRTY
PERCENT OF OUR STUDENTS STRICTLY
TAKING ONLINE CLASSES. AND WITH
TWENTY FIVE ASSOCIATE DEGREES
INITIALED ASSOCIATE DEGREES FOR
TRANSFERS THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED
STRICTLY ONLINE.
EACH YEAR THE PERCENTAGE OF
STUDENTS TAKING FOOTHILL ONLINE
CLASSES INCREASED AND LAST YEAR
WE WERE RECOGNIZED AS THE NUMBER
ONE ONLINE ASSOCIATE DEGREE
COLLEGE. IN THE STATE BY BEST
COLLEGE DOT COM.
FOR THIS AND FOR MANY OTHER
REASONS WE SUPPORT INNOVATION.
WE ARE ALSO A COLLEGE FIERCELY
COMMITTED TO STUDENT EQUITY AND
THUS WE SUPPORT THIS EFFORT BY
GOVERNOR BROWN. TO SERVE A LARGE
SEGMENT OF OUR STATE THAT MAY
NEED ONLINE EDUCATION TO IMPROVE
THEIR SOCIO ECONOMIC VIABILITY
AND TO WEATHER ECONOMIC
DOWNTURNS. THERE ARE MANY THINGS
TO SAY AND EXPLORE ABOUT THIS
CONCEPT OF OUR ONE HUNDRED
FIFTEEN COLLEGE BUT LET ME SHARE
WITH YOU MY THOUGHTS WITHIN THE
CONTEXT. OF THREE ICE INNOVATION.
INCLUSIVENESS AND INITIATIVE.
INNOVATION TRULY BEING
INNOVATIVE.
WE BELIEVE THE ONE HUNDRED
FIFTEEN COLLEGE SHOULD BE
DESIGNED AS A RADICALLY
DIFFERENT ALTERNATIVE TO CURRENT
ONLINE EFFORTS SO THAT IT
COMPLEMENTS RATHER THAN COMPETES.
BOTH SOME COLLEGES MAY BE
CONCERNED ABOUT LOSS OF
ENROLLMENT IN THE US FUNDING I
SUBMIT TO YOU THAT THE NEW
COLLEGE MUST BE RADICALLY
DIFFERENT. IF NOT FOR THE SAKE
OF AVOIDING CONFUSION AMONG
STUDENTS ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE.
BETWEEN MICHAEL SHORT TERM
CERTIFICATES MICHAEL
CREDENTIALING ET CETERA VERSUS
COLLEGE DEGREES.
THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT THE
ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN COLLEGE
COULD BE DESIGNED AS AN ENTRY
POINT. TO RECIEVE MICHAEL
CREDENTIALING SHORT TERM OF
CREDENTIALS THUS CREATING AN
ONGOING COLLEGE CULTURE COLLEGE
GOING CULTURE ONLINE. AND
STUDENTS WHO WISH TO GO FURTHER
AND ATTAIN AN ACTUAL COLLEGE
DEGREE COULD THEN BE TRANSFERRED
TO COLLEGES LIKE FOOTHILL
COLLEGE TO THAT OFFER ONLINE
ASSOCIATE DEGREES.
WHAT WHAT WE CALLED STACKABLE AT
PATHWAYS? YESTERDAY OUR COLLEGE
HAD A BLACK HISTORY MONTH
CELEBRATION AND A WOMAN OF COLOR
WHO LOST HER JOB SAID TO ME.
THAT SHE KNOWS SHE NEEDS QUOTE
UNQUOTE PAPERWORK. WHAT SHE
MEANT AND SHE KNOWS SHE NEEDS A
COLLEGE DEGREE? IT DIDN'T MATTER
WHAT INDUSTRY HE JUST NEEDED A
COLLEGE DEGREE.
THE IDEA OF SHORT TERM
CREDENTIAL MICHAEL COULD
INITIALING FILL IN THE BLANK OF
ALL THE DIFFERENT TERMS. WHICH
COLLEGES CURRENTLY DID AND DEVELOPED THE SUGGESTED
DIRECTION OF ASSESSING
COMPETENCIES AND PRIOR LEARNING
APPEARS TO BE A HIGHLY DESIRABLE
FOR ADULT LEARNERS. HOWEVER IT
MIGHT BE BEST IMPLEMENTED
STATEWIDE AFTER A SUCCESSFUL
PILOT WHICH I BELIEVE EXISTING
COLLEGE SUCH AS FOOD WHO WOULD
BE INTERESTED IN PILOTING
INCUBATING AS ONE SENATOR
MENTIONED WELL THE
INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE GOVERNANCE
OF THE ONE HUNDRED FIFTEEN
COLLEGES BUILT.
POSSIBLE IDEA.
AGAIN FOR THIS POSSIBLE NEW
SISTER COLLEGE TO BE TRULY
INNOVATIVE AND THUS VALUE ADDED
AS A COLD IN COLD BIG HAIRY I'M
NOT DACIANS IDEA. THAT IT
APPEARS TO BE IT SHOULD BE
RADICALLY DIFFERENT.
SYSTEMS INC MY SECOND I
INCLUSIVENESS.
SYSTEMS ARE NATURALLY BILL TO BE
AN EQUITABLE.
WE MUST WORK ON THE S. THAT
ASSUMPTION AND BUILD ANY SYSTEM
TO INTENTIONALLY ACHIEVE EQUITY
FIRST AND FOREMOST.
THIS IS SEEMINGLY AN OBVIOUS
STATEMENT BUT I CAN TELL YOU
THAT ONLINE EDUCATION HAS A
LOWER STUDENT SUCCESS RATE AND
EVEN LOWER RATE FOR STUDENTS OF
COLOR. ART COLLEGE CAN BOTH
ONLINE SUCCESS HIGHER THAN THE
STATE AND EVEN SIGNIFICANTLY
HIGHER ONLINE SUCCESS RATE FOR
STUDENTS OF COLOR THEN THE STATE.
YET AFTER TWENTY THREE YEARS OF
OFFERING ONLINE EDUCATION WE
STILL SEE AN EQUITY GO.
WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS NO DOUBT
IN CLOSING THAT GAP BUT WE ARE
NOT WHERE WE WANT TO BE.
WHEN SERVING COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR THE CONVENTIONAL WISDOM IS
FACE TO FACE CLASSES NOT ONLINE.
AND I KNOW CHANCE ARE OAKLEY HAS
ADDRESSES ISSUE WITH ALL OF YOU
AND I'M SURE THERE'S MORE TO IT
UNPACKED THEIR.
WE SHOULD ALSO BE INCLUSIVE THE
CONTENT EXPERTS THAT IS OUR
CURRENT ONLINE FACULTY THE ONE
HUNDRED FIFTEEN COLLEGE COULD
UTILIZE THE COLLABORATION. OF
THE ONLINE EDUCATION INITIATIVE
WE I. WHICH IS A HIGHLY
PARTICIPATORY PROCESS TO DEVELOP
DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR ADOPTION BY
INDIVIDUAL COLLEGES STORES
CENTRALLY SUPPORTED PROGRAM.
AND THIS COMES TO MY LAST SIGH
INITIATIVE THAT IS GOVERNORS
BROWN OTHER INITIATIVE THE
ONLINE EDUCATION INITIATIVE A WE
I. I KNOW YOU'VE ASKED ME TO
ADDRESS YOU ABOUT THE OLD WAY I
BECAUSE IT WAS LAUNCHED IN
DECEMBER TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN
WITH A GRANT FROM THE STATE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE. AND IT IS
HALLS AT FOOTHILL DE ANZA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT. IT
OFFERS STATE ONE ONLINE LEARNING
ECOSYSTEM CONSORTIUM AS WELL AS
WHAT WAS DESCRIBED. SINCE ITS
INCEPTION THE SYSTEM HAS SEEN
THE AVERAGE GAP BETWEEN FACE TO
FACE AN ONLINE RATES NARAL TO
LESS THAN SIX PERCENT. AND DATA
SHOWS THAT ONLY I PILOT COURSES
MOVING THREE POINT NINE PERCENT
ABOVE THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE. SO
THE QUESTION BECOMES THEN WHAT
ROLE CAN ONLY I PLAY. THE SHORT
ANSWER IS WE I AM FOOTHILL
COLLEGE STAND READY TO PLAY A
ROLE AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE
DESIGN OF A POSSIBLE NEW SISTER
COLLEGE.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY AND I LOOK FORWARD
TO ANSWERING ANY QUESTIONS YOU
MAY HAVE.
PRESIDENT SCROGGINS.
MADAM CHAIR.
YEAH IF WAS A VERY. WITH THE
PUBLIC DID YOU GET YOUR MIKE ON
FOR ME. THANK YOU ARE YOU GOT
RIGHT.
I'M BILL SCROGGINS PRESIDENT
AMOUNTS AND ANTONIO COLLEGE.
I'M ALSO CHAIR OF THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE ON TECHNOLOGY THE
GROUP THAT DESIGNED THE ONLINE
EDUCATION INITIATIVE THAT BEGAN
IN TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN. AND
GUIDES THAT PROJECT FROM A
POLICY CHANCES OFFICE LEVEL. I
ALSO SERVE ON THE CHANCES
OPPOSITE VISOR COMMITTEE ON
CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION. AND
WAS PART OF THE TEAM THAT PUT
TOGETHER THE STRONG WORK FORCE
PROGRAM THAT WAS IMPLEMENTED BY
U. TWO YEARS AGO.
SO MY COMMENTS ARE BASED ON MY
MANY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN
ONLINE EDUCATION AND CAREER
TECHNICAL EDUCATION.
THE ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE AS
OUTLINED IN THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSED BUDGET AND IN THE
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE HAS
SEVERAL DISTINCT ADVANTAGES.
THIS FULLY ONLINE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE WILL HAVE A STATE WHY
ADMISSION AND OFFER
OPPORTUNITIES TO MEET ALL
COMPETENCIES ONLINE.
EXISTING COLLEGE ONLINE PROGRAMS
PRIMARILY SERVE DISTRICT OR
REGIONAL STUDENTS WHO TAKE
ONLINE COURSES TO SUPPLEMENT
SUPPLEMENT IN PERSON COURSES.
SECONDLY THE PROGRAM AND
CURRICULUM DESIGN INCLUDES MANY
INNOVATIVE.
INITIATIVES AND THEN YOU'VE
HEARD ABOUT SOME OF THESE BUT
LOOK LET ME PUT THEM TOGETHER IN
A LIST FOR YOU.
CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING
COMPETENCY BASED ASSESSMENT OPEN
ENTRY THAT STARTS WHEN NEEDED
AND CONCLUDES WHEN THE
COMPETENCY IS LEARNED.
THE PROGRAM INTEGRATION OF
APPRENTICESHIP IN WORK
EXPERIENCE BASED LEARNING. SOME
OF THE QUESTIONS YOU ASK HER
ABOUT HANDS ON BY WORKING
DIRECTLY WITH BUSINESSES
SUPPORTING YOUR FUNDING FOR
APPRENTICESHIPS AND WORK-EXPERIENCE THAT'S THE HANDS ON
PIECE OF HAPPENS RIGHT IN THE
BUSINESSES. DIRECTLY RELATED TO
ACHIEVING COMPETENCIES THAT LEAD
TO EMPLOYMENT.
COURSE DEVELOPMENT IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH BUSINESS AND
INDUSTRY EXPERTS WHO VALIDATE
THE COMPETENCIES OF THE THESE
DEGREES CERTIFICATES AND BADGES.
RELATED TO THE DIRECT HIRING OF
THE COMPLETE HERS.
FLEXIBLE AND RESPONSIVE DESIGN
OF MODULES NOT THE FULL SEMESTER
LENGTH BUT MODULES THAT CAN BE
ASSEMBLED TO MEET SPECIFIC NEEDS.
BADGERS CREDENTIALS AND
CERTIFICATES WHICH RECOGNIZE
LEARNING OUTCOMES THAT ARE
ALIGNED WITH INDUSTRY
CERTIFICATIONS AND OR THEY MEET
TARGETED EMPLOYMENT ENTRY SKILLS.
OR UP SKILLS NEED A VERY
FLEXIBLE SYSTEM OF AWARDS.
FINALLY A DESIGN WHICH REFLECTS
TODAY'S WORK FORCE WHICH IS NOT
PLACE BACKGROUND.
IT'S NOT EMPLOYER BOUND AND IT'S
NOT SALARY BASED THAT'S THE
MODEL WE'RE LOOKING TO THE GIG
ECONOMY SO TO SPEAK WE'VE GOT
FINALLY AN ONLINE CD INSTITUTION
THAT REFLECTS TODAY'S AND
TOMORROW'S WORKFORCE.
THIRD.
MANY OF THESE ABOVE DESIGN
ELEMENTS WERE AMONG THE TWENTY
FIVE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE
STRONG WORK FORCE TASK FORCE.
MOST OF THESE HAVE NOT YET BEEN
IMPLEMENTED BY EXISTING
COMMUNITY COLLEGES SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT I MENTIONED HERE ARE
IN THE PLAN BUT WE'RE STILL
WORKING ON HOW TO MAKE THEM WORK.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A SYSTEM NOW.
THAT THE ONLINE COLLEGE WILL
PROVIDE A UNIQUE PILOT SORT OF A
PROOF OF CONCEPT OF THESE
EDUCATIONAL DESIGN AND DELIVERY
METHODS THAT ARE RECOMMENDED TO
BE PART OF THE STRONG WORKFORCE
PROGRAM.
FOURTH THE STATUTORY BASIS OF
THE ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ALLOWS THE CREATION OF THE
ELEMENTS THAT I LISTED ABOVE
MANY OF THOSE ARE CURRENTLY
BARRIERS IN EXISTING LAW AND
REGULATION.
I OFTEN TALK ABOUT THIS PROJECT
IS SORT OF THE THE CHARTER
COMMUNITY COLLEGE. BY HAVING A
SEPARATE SECTION IN THE
EDUCATION CODE TO SPECIFICALLY
DESIGNS THE MISSION POWERSAND
AUTHORITIES. AND MORE WORK NEEDS
TO BE DONE IN THAT AREA YOU WILL
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS
THESE. INNOVATIVE.
AN INSPIRATIONAL IN MANY CASES
DESIGN ELEMENTS OF THAT COLLEGE.
UP THE THE CHALLENGE AND IN GOOD
IN GOVERNANCE YES IN IN
ACHIEVING FINANCIAL AID IN
ACCREDITATION. IN FINANCING I'VE
TALKED TO CHANCELLOR OAKLEY
ABOUT THESE AND I BELIEVE THAT
THERE ARE SOLUTIONS FOR THIS NEW
MODEL TO BE HAD. THAT IS YT TO
BE DETERMINED AND SOME OF THE.
ADJUSTMENTS WILL BE MADE THROUGH
YOUR WORK IN APPROVING THIS
PROJECT.
HOWEVER THE CHARTER COMMUNITY
COLLEGE PRINCIPAL GIVES THE
LEGISLATURE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
RE IMAGINE HOW THE ELEMENTS THAT
I MENTIONED BEFORE OF THE ONLINE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE CAN BE FRESHLY
CREATED.
SYNTHESIZING THE IDEAS YOU HAD
TODAY INTO THE LEGISLATION TO
MAKE IT WORK WITH THIS MODEL.
FINALLY. I AM OFTEN ASKED IF THE
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE WILL
QUOTE UNQUOTE COMPETE WITH THE
EXISTING HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN
COMMUNITY COLLEGES INCLUDING
MANSON ANTONIO COLLEGE.
SO WITH THE DESIGN THAT WE JUST
DESCRIBED A FULLY ONLINE CD
COMPETENCY BASED. DELIVERING
BADGES CERTIFICATES. MY OPINION
IS THAT THE ONLINE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE WILL NOT APPRECIABLY
OVERLAP WITH COMMUNITY COLLEGES
INCLUDING MOUNT SAC.
IT'S A UNIQUE DESIGN AND
DELIVERY METHOD.
IT ACCOMPLISHES THOSE ELEMENTS
THAT WE'D LIKE TO SEE OUR OWN
WORK BE ABLE TO DO THE
COMPETENCY BASED THE. CREDIT FOR
PRIOR LEARNING THAT MICRO
DEGREES THAT ARE CHALLENGED
UNDER OUR EXISTING SYSTEM.
REFERENCES TO THE TRAILER BILL
IN A WIDER MISSION OF OFFERING
TWO YEAR ASSOCIATE DEGREES I I
REALLY BALKED AT THAT. BUT I'M
KIRK ENCOURAGED TODAY BY HEARING
THE FOCUS AND YOUR FOCUS ON THE
ONLINE C. T. DIRECTOR WORK LET'S
MAKE IT HAPPEN FOR THOSE WHO
DON'T HAVE ACCESS.
I'M ENCOURAGED AT STICKING TO
THAT MODEL DOESN'T CREATE THE
OVERLAP WITH THE HE MISSION OF
MOUNT SAN ANTONIO COLLEGE.
IT'S MY OPINION THAT THE
EXISTING ONLINE SYSTEM CREATED
AND FUNDED BY THE LEGISLATURE AS
THE ONLINE EDUCATION INITIATIVE.
IT IS ALREADY IN EXISTENCE TO
MEET THIS BROADER MISSION OF THE
TWO YEAR ASSOCIATE DEGREE. THE.
INCLUSION OF GENERAL EDUCATION
GENERAL EDUCATION TO PREPARATION
FOR TRANSFER WE'RE DOING A GOOD
JOB IN THAT AREA. WHERE WE'RE
NOT IS IN THE THE? ABILITY TO
WORK DIRECTLY WITH BUSINESSES
COMPETENCY BASED CREDIT FOR
PRIOR LEARNING TO BE ABLE TO
QUICKLY IN A OPEN ENTRY OPEN
EXIT. SYSTEM OF KIND OF IT JUST
IN TIME EDUCATION TO GET THE
SKILLS THAT EMPLOYERS NEED AND
THIS MISSING WORK FORCE FOR
CALIFORNIA SO DESPERATELY NEEDS
THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
OF THE DEBT RELIEF ONE THING
FROM. THE TWO PRESIDENTS OF
SISTER COLLEGES. FORGIVEN IF
THEIR PERSPECTIVE NOW WE'RE
GONNA HEAR FROM EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS FROM THE
ACADEMIC SENATE WILL START WITH
THE VICE PRESIDENT MR STOPPED US.
AFTERNOON NOT CHAIRMAN MITCHELL
AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE.
PLEASE FORGIVE ME THIS IS MY
FIRST HEARING.
SO IT'S BEEN A AND IN AN
EXCITING EVENTS AND I AM THE
BEST HERE YOU WILL EVER
EXPERIENCE IN A COMMITTEE
HEARING.
I'M SO GLAD THIS WAS YOUR FIRST
SAMPLE TEST I'VE EVER SEEN.
SO I I DID WANT TO SAY THAT I AM
I CAME IN WITH A WHOLE BUNCH OF
TALKING POINTS AND YOU ALL GOT
THEM. YOU ALL COVERED THEM THE
CONCERNS THAT THE ACADEMIC
SENATE HAS RAISED ABOUT HAVING A
SEPARATE ENTITY SO I THOUGHT I
WOULD TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT.
ABOUT WHO WE ARE AS THE ACADEMIC
SENATE AND WHERE OUR PERSPECTIVE
IS DERIVED.
I'M THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE
ACADEMIC SENATE FOR CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES I REPRESENT
FIFTY EIGHT THOUSAND FACULTY ALL
OF THEM.
AND IN OUR SYSTEM.
IN ALL ACADEMIC AND
PROFESSIONAL MATTERS.
WE HAVE FACULTY WHO TEACH AND
NON CREDIT.
WE HAVE FACULTY WHO ARE
TEACHING IN C. T. FACULTY WHO
FOCUS ON FILLING SKILLS GAP
FACULTY WHO ARE FOCUSED ON
TRANSFER LEVEL WORK. AND WE HIRE
FACULTY WHO ARE COMMITTED TO THE
SOCIAL JUSTICE MISSION OF THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES.
AND SO WHEN WE HEAR THAT THERE
ARE TWO POINT FIVE MILLION
POTENTIAL.
CALIFORNIANS WHO ARE NOT WELL
SERVED. WE FEEL THAT ALSO WHEN
WE SEE THE DATA ABOUT
PROPRIETARY INSTITUTIONS PREYING.
ON CALIFORNIANS.
WE ARE RIGHTEOUSLY INDIGNANT AS
WELL.
WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THE
PROPOSAL IN THE TRAILER BELT.
AND SOME OF THOSE CONCERNS ARE
OUTLINED IN THE LETTER YOU ALL
RECEIVED LAST WEEK FROM THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND MANY OF
YOU HAVE THE SAME CONCERNS
AROUND GOVERNANCE. AROUND
ACCREDITATION.
I WANT TO TELL YOU A FEW THINGS
IN RELATION TO THAT LETTER.
BASED ON WHAT WE HEARD TODAY
FIRST OF ALL. I DON'T KNOW OF A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE THAT DOES NOT
OFFER SOMETHING ONLINE. AND WHEN
WE TALK ABOUT THIRTY THREE
COLLEGES HAVE. ONLINE PROGRAMS I
THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
COMPLETE DEGREES ONLINE. AT IT.
WHICH IS DIFFERENT THAN HAVING
ONLINE OFFERINGS. AND WE HAVE
WORKED HARD WITH OUR
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE TO MEASURE
THE WAYS IN WHICH WE SERVE
STUDENTS BECAUSE OUR MISSION.
THE REASON WE COME TO WORK AT A
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS
TO MAKE IT DIFFERENT DIFFERENCE
IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE.
TO BE ABLE TO AFFECT POSITIVE
CHANGE. FOR CALIFORNIANS WHO
WANT TO CHANGE THEIR LIVES. AND
SO WE MEASURE OUR SUCCESS NOT
ONLY BY DEGREES OR CERTIFICATES
THAT ARE EARNED BUT ALSO. SHORT
TERM NON CREDIT CERTIFICATES OF
COMPLETION.
ABOUT ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
SKILLS THAT THAT HAPPEN IN NON
CREDIT OR. WAGE INCREASE WHEN WE
HAVE STUDENTS WHO NEED TO COME
TO US AND JUST TAKE ONE OR TWO
CLASSES BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEY
NEED TO EITHER KEEP THEIR JOB OR
ADVANCE IN THEIR CAREER. THEY'RE
MISSING THAT ONE SCALE AND WE
HAVE TO FIND WAYS TO MEASURE.
THAT SUCCESS AND COUNTLESS
STUDENTS AND WE TAKE THAT
MISSION TO REACH OUR STUDENTS
WHO COME TO US FOR A DEGREE OR
COME TO US FOR A CERTIFICATE. OR
COME TO US SIMPLY FOR THOSE
SHORT TERM NEEDS VERY SERIOUSLY
AND REACH OUT TO THEM.
HALF OF OUR STUDENTS ARE OVER
TWENTY FIVE. IT'S FORTY EIGHT
PERCENT.
.
I THINK THE COLLEGES AND THE
FACULTY ESPECIALLY ARE WORKING
VERY HARD TO REACH THOSE
POPULATIONS. I TEACH AT SAN
BERNARDINO VALLEY COLLEGE.
THE AVERAGE AGE HAS BEEN
DROPPING SINCE THE SINCE THE
RECESSION ENDED ON WHEN IT'S
WHEN I STARTED THERE FIFTEEN
YEARS AGO THE AVERAGE AGE WAS
THIRTY.
OUR STUDENTS AND NOW IT'S DOWN
TO TWENTY SEVEN.
BUT A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF
THOSE RETURNING ADULTS.
MAKE UP.
THE STUDENTS I SEE.
THERE.
SO THE CONCERN. ABOUT DIVERTING
RESOURCES OUT OF PROPOSITION
NINETY EIGHT TO A NEW ENTITY.
WHEN WE FEEL LIKE WE NEED MORE
RESOURCES TO DO THAT JOB LOCALLY.
IS PRESSING.
ON THE FACULTY.
THE OTHER CONCERN THAT I WANTED
TO BRING YOUR ATTENTION TO IS
THAT WE HAVE SPENT A GREAT DEAL
OF TIME FOR THE LAST.
.
FIVE TO TEN YEARS LOOKING AT
REGIONAL EFFORTS LOOKING AT THE
ADULT EDUCATION BLOCK GRANTS
LOOKING AT THE STRONG WORK FORCE
PROGRAM AS REGIONAL ECONOMIES
REGIONAL CONCERNS TO BE
ADDRESSED. THROUGH CONSORTIA OF.
.
INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING AT TO
MEET THOSE NEEDS AND WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT MOVING SOMETHING TO A
STATEWIDE SYSTEM.
WE FEAR THAT WE WILL LOSE. THAT
IN TOUCH CONNECTIVITY WITH LOCAL
EMPLOYERS AND THE LOCAL STUDENT
POPULATIONS THAT WE SERVE.
IN THAT WAY.
AT.
WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE
ACCESS TO.
.
TO ONLINE EDUCATION I.
I THINK I CAN SPEAK FOR ALL OF
MY COLLEAGUES. THAT WE WOULD NOT
BE FACULTY AND THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM IF WE
DIDN'T BELIEVE IN THE ABILITY OF
PEOPLE TO CHANGE THEIR LIVES.
AND THE CAPABILITY OF PEOPLE TO
LEARN AND ADAPT. BECAUSE THAT'S
THE BUSINESS WE'RE IN.
.
YOU KNOW OUR OUR OUR AUTOMOTIVE
INSTRUCTORS ARE WELDERS FOR ME.
ARE CHEMISTS WOULD MAKE A LOT
MORE MONEY DOING SOMETHING ELSE.
CALLED TO THIS WORK. OF REACHING
OUR STUDENTS.
AND MEETING THEM WHERE THEY ARE
AND HELPING THEM.
WE ALSO RECOGNIZE THAT DIFFERENT
MODALITIES REACH DIFFERENT
STUDENTS.
AND WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT A
FULLY ONLINE INSTITUTION WITHOUT
THE ABILITY OF STUDENTS TO BE
ABLE. TO COME TO A SITE.
THAT'S CONNECTED WITH THEM.
IDEAS AROUND.
THE PROGRAMS OF STUDY THAT WERE
MENTIONED CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
WE HAVE CHILD DEVELOPMENT.
PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
I'M.
MANY OF THOSE. THAT FEAR RADICAL
TRANSFER LEVEL COURSES.
OR AS SHORT TERM THEORETICAL
COURSES ARE ALREADY ON LINE.
HOWEVER.
PART OF EARNING A CHILD
DEVELOPMENT CERTIFICATE.
IT' PICKING UP A CHILD.
AND SO HAVING TWO DIFFERENT
ENTITIES OFFERING PARTS. OF THE
COMPETENCY REQUIRED.
SEEMS LIKE IT JUST MAKES MORE
ISSUES AND HOW THE STUDENT EARNS
THE CREDIT FOR WHAT THEY'RE
DOING THERE.
AND I ALSO WANTED TO MENTION ONE
OF THE AREAS THAT WAS PART OF
PLAYS THE INFOR INFORMATION
COMPETENCYSKILLS. AND ARE THERE
IS A LOT OF. EXCITEMENT AROUND
COMPETENCY BASED LEARNING.
THE C. ID PROJECT WHICH WE
GREATLY APPRECIATE YOU
RECOGNIZING AND FINDING OUT LAST
YEAR IT'S BEEN A TEN YEAR
PROJECT OF THE ACADEMIC SENATE.
.
HAS MODEL CURRICULUM ON
INFORMATION COMPETENCY.
IT'S IT'S COMPETENCY BASED WITH
A LIST OF SKILLS THE STUDENT
NEEDS TO DEMONSTRATE TO EARN THE
CERTIFICATE AS A MODEL FOR THE
STATE AND HOW. ALL THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES CAN USE THAT SYSTEM.
IN THAT EFFORT AND SO I HEAR A
LOT OF THE IDEAS THAT ARE
HAPPENING.
WOULD BE USEFUL.
OR ARE ALREADY HAPPENING TO SOME
DEGREE ALREADY.
THE LAST PART I WANTED TO
ADDRESS IS THE FLEXIBILITY THAT
REGULATION WITH ME TOO. TO GRANT
THIS PARTICULAR INSTITUTION.
OUR OUR FACULTY AT THE COLLEGES.
NEED THAT FLEXIBILITY ALSO.
WE WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
THE FLEXIBILITY TO. NOT BE
PENALIZED IN FUNDING IF WE OFFER
THING SHORT TERM OR ONLINE OR
OFF SEQUENCE OUT OF THE CALENDAR.
THAT'S APPROVED BY THE DISTRICT
AS WELL.
AND WE HAVE.
MOVED WITHIN THE SYSTEM AND AS
CREATIVE AS POSSIBLE.
BUT WE'VE ALSO ADVOCATED FOR
REGULATORY CHANGE. AROUND THAT
THAT COULD LEAVE ENABLE A
HUNDRED FOURTEEN COLLEGES TO
MEET THOSE NEEDS INSTEAD OF JUST
ONE.
AND SO I I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.
AND.
BEING MY FIRST HEARING. I AM
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ROOM AND
WE'RE GONNA HOLD THE QUESTIONS
TO THE IN AND WE'LL HEAR FROM
OUR FINAL PANELIST ON. WHO AXIS
CULTURE OF THE ONLINE EDUCATION
THIS TO STEERING COMMITTEE FOR?
THE ACADEMIC SENATE MISS.
AUSTIN BACH. THANK YOU.
ALTHOUGH YOU INTRODUCE ME AS CO
CHAIR OF THE. GUY I AM BUT LIKE
TO SPEAK TO YOU FIRST AS AN
ENGLISH PROFESSOR LAWSON COLLEGE.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW LESSON FOR A
SMALL RURAL COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
IN A COUNTY OF ABOUT FORTY FIVE
HUNDRED SQUARE MILES AND A
POPULATION OF ABOUT THIRTY
THOUSAND PEOPLE WE HAVE AN
AVERAGE OF SEVEN POINT SEVEN
PEOPLE PER SQUARE MILE. US SO WE
WERE A SMALL COUNTY SPARSELY
POPULATED AND WE MUST USE ONLINE
EDUCATION TO REACH ENOUGH OF OUR
COUNTY POPULATION THERE IS
ABSOLUTELY NO WAY. THAT WE COULD
AFFORD TO REACH INTO EVERY SMALL
COMMUNITY. BEING IN OUR OWN
SMALL COMMUNITY IN SUSANVILLE.
AND HAVE PLACES WHERE PEOPLE
COME FOR EDUCATION AND SO ON
LINE MUST BE OUR PLACE. AND SO
WHILE WE DON'T HAVE. THE
EXPERIENCE OF FOOTHILL HAS OR WE
HAVEN'T BEEN ON THE LEADING EDGE
WE CERTAINLY RELY ON ONLINE
EDUCATION A GREAT DEAL IN ORDER
TO. PROVIDE ACCESS TO A
RESIDENCE IN ORDER TO PAY THE
BILLS OF THE COLLEGE AND
GENERATE THE PORTION AND WE NEED
TO DO THAT. IN ORDER TO
ACCOMPLISH OUR MISSION.
.
THERE'S BEEN SOMETHING SAID
TODAY THAT.
SEEM A LITTLE BIT MISLEADING AND
MAKE IT FEEL AS IF OUR COLLEGES
ARE NOT ALREADY DOING. SOME OF
WHAT THIS ONLINE COLLEGES TASKED
WITH DOING. BOMB FOR ONE
COLLEGES ARE ALREADY INCREASING
ACCESS TO THE POPULATION BEING
TARGETED WITH THIS PROPOSAL.
STRONG WORK FIRST PROGRAM
SPECIFICALLY SAYS DEVELOP
WORKFORCE OPPORTUNITY LIFT LOW
WAGE WORKERS IN THE LIVING WAGE
JOBS.
WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT IN THIS
PROPOSAL.
ADULT EDUCATION BLOCK PRINT IS
DOING THE SAME THING FOR THOSE
TWO PEOPLE ARE FOR THOSE
RESIDENTS UNDERSERVED
POPULATIONS WITH A LACK OF A
HIGH SCHOOL FINISH OR. HIGH
SCHOOL PHOENICIAN NO COLLEGE
SIMILAR POPULATION WE'RE LOOKING
TO BRING THEM BACK REENTER THEM
OR OR INTRODUCE THEM TO US.
AND THERE'S SO MANY OTHER
EFFORTS THAT HAVE DONE THIS AND
SO.
THIS SEEMS THE WORD AUGMENTED
CAME UP EARLIER AND IT DOES SEEM
TO BE AN AUGMENTATION OF THAT
EFFORT BUT I REALLY SEE THAT AS
A COMBINED AUGMENTATION
INTEGRATION OF THAT EFFORT. THAT
IS LIKELY BEST DONE AT OUR
COLLEGES AHMED AS JOHN JUST
MENTIONED WITH A CHILD
DEVELOPMENT AND IN SO MANY OTHER
AREAS IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO
PROVIDE.
ONE OPPORTUNITY IN ONE PLACE AND
A DIFFERENT TYPE OF OPPORTUNITY
IN ANOTHER AND IN SOME WAY
EXPECT OR STUDENTS ACCESS BOTH.
MY IF THEY'RE ALREADY CONNECTING
WITH US THROUGH COMMUNITY
COUNCILS THROUGH VISITS TO OUR
HIGH SCHOOLS TO VISITS TO OUR
HOME WAS.
SERVICES THEN WHY NOT LET THEM
COME AND TAKE THEIR ONLINE
COURSES FROM A DISTANCE THROUGH
THEIR LOCAL SERVICE. FROM
COLLEGES ARE ALSO OFFERING SHORT
TERM CERTIFICATES IN TRAINING
AND AND SOME OF THOSE ARE VERY
FLEXIBLE I IN CREDIT COURSES AS
FEW AS EIGHT UNITS COLONEL
LOCALS LOW UNIT CERTIFICATE
THING TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE FOR APPROVAL
AND TRANSCRIPTION. ON THE
STUDENT RECORD.
EIGHT UNITS IS AS HE WAS A
HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX HOURS AND
THOSE DON'T HAVE TO BE SPREAD
OVER A SEMESTER THEY CAN BE
OFFERED. IN SHORT TERMS OF A
STIFF YOU WANT STUDENTS TO FORTY
HOURSA WEEK THREE AND HALF
WEEKS WE NOW HAVE THAT
CERTIFICATE.
IT'S ALSO BEING DONE QUITE A
BIT AND INCREASINGLY SO IN NON
CREDIT.
NO COST COURSES TO OUR STUDENTS
THERE ZERO UNIT SO THERE'S ZERO
FEES ON SO THAT ACCESS.
AND ANY EQUITY PIECE IS
CERTAINLY BEING ACHIEVED THROUGH
NON CREDIT AND SCHOOLS LIKE
MOUNT SOCCER LEADING THE WAY AND
NOT.
.
LAST YEAR SIX THOUSAND. OR SIX
PERCENT OF OUR SYSTEM.
REGENERATED NON CREDIT AND THAT
MEANS NOT CREDIT COURSES THAT
MEANS NON CREDIT PROGRAMS MOST
GUILT EITHER AT LITERACY BASIC
SKILLS LITERACY OR A WORKFORCE
TRAINING AND PREPARATION. AND SO
SOME OF THE FLEXIBILITY WE
ALREADY HAVE NON CREDIT PROGRAMS
ESPECIALLY ARE VERY RESPONSIVE
AND CAN BE OFFERED IN IN WEEK
LONG BOX OR LESS. AND THEY ARE
OUTCOMES BASED BECAUSE IT'S NOT
ABOUT THE C. TIME TO THE SAME
DEGREE THAT IT IS IN CREDIT.
IT'S A MATTER OF HELPING THE
STUDENTS ACHIEVE WHAT THEY NEED
TO AND MOVE ON. WITHOUT
EXPLICITLY CALLING A COMPETENCY
BASED.
COLLEGES ARE ALREADY ATTEMPTED
INCREASE CUDDLING FLEXIBILITY IN
NEED IMMEDIATE DEMANDS WE HAVE.
OPEN ENROLLMENT OPEN EXIT OPEN
ENTRY OPEN TO OPEN EXIT. A BUT
WE OFTEN ARE ARE TIGHT LITTLE
BIT BY THE EXISTING REGULATIONS
AND SO YOU'VE ALREADY HEARD THAT
YOU KNOW WE ALL COULD BENEFIT IN
SERVING OUR STUDENTS FROM SOME
RELIEF FROM THOSE REGULATIONS
AND AGAIN OF COURSE IN
ACCOUNTING. VOMIT INTO AND IT
WOULD BE NICE IF ALL OF US COULD
BE RELIEVED OF THAT AND NOT JUST
A SINGLE ENTITY.
COLLEGES ARE ALREADY INCREASING
STUDENT SUCCESS IN ONLINE
EDUCATION AND.
DOCTOR WHEN MENTIONED THAT THE
ONLY I INCREASED THREE POINT
NINE PERCENT ABOVE THE STATEWIDE
AVERAGE IN THE LOST A RECORD
THAT WE HAVE AND THAT WAS FOR
COURSES THAT HAVE GONE THROUGH.
THE ALTHOUGH WE EYES REVIEW
PROCESS AND USE THE SUPPORTS
DEVELOPED WITHIN THE ONLY GUY. A
THREE POINT NINE PERCENT ABOVE
THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE OF THE
PILOT COLLEGES FOR THOSE TAT
WORK THROUGH THE COURSE REVIEW
PROCESS BUT USE THE REST OF THE
SUPPORT AT THE. AT THE.
PUBLIC COLLEGES TWO POINT NINE
PERCENT ABOVE IT WILL I DON'T
HAVE THE DISAGGREGATED DATA
RELATIVE TO RACE WHEN WE LOOKED
AT IT IT WAS YOU KNOW
POPULATIONS IN COURSES THAT WERE
AS DIVERSE AS THE ON GROUND
COURSES OR OTHERONLINE SECTIONS
AT OTHER COLLEGES.
AND SO WE ARE MAKING THESE
EFFORTS AND.
IT IS ALARMING TO SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES TO SEE WHAT'S
PROPOSED AND FEEL LIKE IN SOME
WAY WE'RE BEING TOLD THAT WE
AREN'T DOING ENOUGH OF A JOB AND
THAT WE AREN'T SERVING THIS THE
RESIDENTS OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. WHEN IN FACT AS JOHN
IS MENTIONED WE WORKED VERY HARD
FOR THAT AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE IN
THE SYSTEM WE TAKE THAT JOB VERY
SERIOUSLY.
RELATIVE TO THE OLD WAY I I
WILL ADD THAT IT IS OPENED UP
OPPORTUNITIES AND MANY OF OUR
COLLEGES. ARE THE FACT THAT WE
USE CANVAS STATEWIDE IN THAT IT
DOESN'T COST OUR COLLEGES TO DO
THAT RIGHT NOW HAS ALLOWED SMALL
COLLEGES LIKE MINE ON MUCH
SMALLER BUDGETS THAN FOLKS LIKE
FOOTHILL AMOUNT SACK. TO HAVE AN
EXCELLENT COURSE MANAGEMENT
SYSTEM FOR OUR STUDENTS RATHER
THAN HAVING TO RELY ON A LESSER
SYSTEMS BECAUSE THEY COST LESS.
AND SO OUR STUDENTS SUCCESS
ONLINE HAS INCREASED BETWEEN
HAVING THE CAMPUS PLATFORM
HAVING SOME OF THE SUPPORTS THAT
WERE BUILT IN AND WE'RE NOT EVEN
A PILOT SCHOOL WERE DISABLED
ACCESS. THE FRUITS OF THE ONLY
GUYS LABOR AND SO THAT IDEA THAT
WE CAN INVEST IN THAT EFFORT.
FROM THE PERIPHERY WHILE THE
PILOT SCHOOLS REALLY UNDERGO
THAT INNOVATIVE CHANGE AND THOSE
EFFORTS.
BENEFITS AGAIN ALL OF US NO
MATTER HOW FAR THE PERIPHERY WE
ARE.
.
GEOGRAPHICALLY OR OR RELATIVELY.
THERE AND SO WITH THAT I I JUST
WANNA SAY. WE ABSOLUTELY SHARE
YOUR CONCERN ABOUT EQUITY ABOUT
ACCESS FOR THE STUDENTS OR OR
POTENTIAL STUDENTS THAT DON'T.
OF THAT WE CURRENTLY DON'T SERVE
AND CERTAINLY ABOUT SUCCESS BOTH
ONLINE AND THROUGHOUT OUR SYSTEM.
BUT AT THIS MOMENT WE HAVE QUITE
A FEW CONCERNS BOTH LOCALLY LOSS
IN COLLEGE THROUGH THE ACADEMIC
SENATE.
AS WELL ABOUT SOME OF THE IDEAS
BEING EXPRESSED IN AND FEEL THAT
PERHAPS. THE INVESTING FURTHER
IN OUR CURRENT RESOURCES AND
EFFORTS IN EXPANDING SOME OF
THOSE MAY BETTER SUIT OUR SYSTEM.
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON
BEFORE WE GO TO QUESTIONS CAN I
SEE BY RAISE OF HANDS HOW MANY
PEOPLE INTEND TO PARTICIPATE IN
PUBLIC COMMENT.
OKAY SO I'M GONNA LET YOU KNOW
NOW SO YOU CAN START.
DOWN YOUR REMARKS BASED ON THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE AND THE TIME
WE'VE GOT LEFT YOU'LL PROBABLY
YOU'LL HAVE UNDER A MINUTE FOR
PUBLIC COMMENT OKAY FAIR ENOUGH.
BY THE HAND AND.
SENATOR ROBB.
BEFORE I GET TO THOSE GENTLEMEN
SENATOR NELSON HAS ALREADY CUED
UP LET ME ASK A COUPLE QUICK
QUESTIONS.
OF.
SOMEONE TALKED ABOUT THE NON
CREDIT COURSES.
AND THEY'RE OFFERED AT PRESIDENT
SCROGGINS CAMPUS OKAY FOR MY
QUESTION IS AS THE CHANCELLOR
EARLY TALK EARLIER TALKED ABOUT.
ON THE THIS IS A UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITY AS HE EDUCATED ME IN
TERMS OF THE MEANING OF A SHORT
TERM CERTIFICATE IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR ME TO IMPROVE MY
SKILLS FOR THE POSSIBLE
PROMOTION OPPORTUNITY. IF I'VE
DONE THAT TO NON CREDIT COURSES
HOW DO I. VALIDATOR SHOW MY
EMPLOYER THAT I DO QUALIFY FOR
THIS SUPER BUSY SUPERVISORIAL.
PROMOTION.
IF IF IT'S A NON CREDIT COURSE
DO I GET SOMETHING SAYING I'VE
COMPLETED THIS COURSE
SUCCESSFULLY OUT OF THAT WORK.
YES WE WE ISSUE A. CERTIFICATES
FOR A SHORT TERM VOCATIONAL
PROGRAMS IN NON CREDIT. WE HAVE
A HOME HEALTHCARE WORKERS
CERTIFICATE. WE HAVE A
CERTIFICATE FOR BEING A
DISPATCHER WHEN YOUR PLANES LAND
THERE'S A PERSON IN THE CONNING
TOWER THAT HELP SET PILOT LAND
THE PLANE. THAT WE WORK WITH
BUSINESSES FOR EXAMPLE.
A.
ELECTRIC BUS COMPANY IN CITY OF
INDUSTRY NEEDED WORKERS SO WE
CREATED A SPECIAL CURRICULUM
WITH THEIR CERTIFICATE FOR THAT
PROGRAM. VERY FLEXIBLE FOR THOSE.
STUDENTS WHO NEED THAT HANDS ON
EXPERIENCE IN OUR IN OUR
COMMUNITY. BUT NOT ONLINE. BUT
THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ON
LINE FOR EXAMPLE I WAS JUST
TALKING WITH A CLICK DANIELS
HE'S A SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT OF
METHODIST HOSPITAL IN ARCADIA.
HE NEEDS IS OUR INS TO BE
TRAINED IN ORTHOPEDICS. SO WE'RE
GOING TO GO OUT TO HIS HOSPITAL
AND DO A TRAINING RIGHT THERE
WITH HIS NURSES DOING THE
TRAINING TO MEET MINIMUM
QUALIFICATIONS. THERE'S A
DIDACTIC PORTION AND THERE'S A
WORK EXPERIENCE PORTION. I'M
GOING TO OFFER THAT DIDACTIC
PORTION TO HIM ONLINE SO HIS
NURSES DON'T HAVE TO TAKE TIME
OFF WORK TO DO IT AND THEY CAN
DO A WORK EXPERIENCE WITH THE
SENIOR NURSES WHO ALREADY DO
THAT. WHY CAN'T I PUT THAT IN
THE STATE WIDE ONLINE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE AND MAKE ADVANCED
ORTHPEDIC NURSE TRAINING
AVAILABLE IN EVERY HOSPITAL?
AROUND THE STATE WHO NEEDS IT
THIS WILL BE PROBABLY FOR PEOPLE
I'M DOING THIS FOR THAT'S NOT
EFFICIENT AND THE OPPORTUNITY
FOR THIS NEW DELIVERY METHOD.
MAKES THOSE KIND OF CREATIVE
SOLUTIONS THAT I'M DEVELOPING
REGIONALLY AVAILABLE STATEWIDE.
FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THE
PRESIDENT'S.
SENATOR SKINNER DR PANNED BOTH
TALKED ABOUT.
SPECIFIC EXAMPLE TO HAVE BEEN
GIVEN EARLY EARLY CARE AND
EDUCATION TO HELP PROFESSIONS
AND AND A REAL SENSE. FROM A LAY
PERSON'S PERSPECTIVE WITH THE
EXCEPTION DOCTOR PAN BECAUSE
HE'S DOWN THERE.
EIGHTY EIGHT EIGHTY.
PERCEPTION THAT THERE'S GOT TO
BE SOME KIND OF HANDS ON
PRACTICUM. GIVEN THAT ARE THEIR
FIELDS OF STUDY THAT YOU THINK
ARE BETTER LEND THEMSELVES TO
ALL MINE ONLINE EDUCATION.
THERE ARE NOW IN THE HEALTH
FIELD FOR EXAMPLE THERE'S.
A ENTRY LEVEL POSITION CALLED
HEALTH INTER INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY NEEDS ALL THAT
PAPERWORK YOU KNOW THEM A
MEDICAL RECORDS ARE GOING ALL
ONLINE NOW IT'S A SPECIALTY
THAT'S TECHNIQUE TECHNOLOGICALLY
BASED. ITS SPECIFIC TRAINING
THAT TREND COULD EASILY BE DONE
ONLINE WE.
IT'S EXPENSIVE TO DO IN AN IN
CLASS ENVIRONMENT BUT IF WE HAD
THE HOSPITAL AND CLINICAL AND
DOCTORS OFFICES WHICH ARE SMALL
OPERATIONS MANY OF THEM HAVE
ACCESS TO THAT CURRICULUM IT
WOULD HELP IMMENSELY. SO THAT
YOU KNOW YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS
ARE BEING KEPT ACCURATELY WHEN
THEIR SHARED THEIR SHARED WITH
THE COMMON PROTOCOLS. AND YOUR
SAFETY AND SECURITY IS PROTECTED
BY ALL THOSE PEOPLE HANDLE THOSE
IMPORTANT RECORDS THAT'S AN
EXAMPLE. EXCELLENT LAST QUESTION
FOR ME THEN I'LL PUNCH TO
CENTRALLY OLSON. ON THAT IT
REALLY ISN'T AS I.
REALLY LISTENED ALL DAY I BEGAN
TO QUESTION WHETHER OR NOT THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL IS A
REASONABLE NOT ASKING YOU. ABOUT
WHAT DO YOU THINK IT'S
APPROPRIATELY RESOURCE BUT IN
TERMS OF THE TIME FRAME. WE'VE
MISSED THE MARK ON ANY NUMBER OF
EXAMPLES OF WHEN WE TRIED TO DO
WAS SEE CHANGE CREATING NEW
INFRASTRUCTURE WHERE WE'VE GOT A
VERY AGGRESSIVE TIMELINE AND
NEXT BUDGET YEAR.
WE GET A NEW PROPOSAL SAY WHEN
WE GOT PUSHED OUT A YEAR TWO OR
THREE OR FIVE OR NOT GONNA DO IT
AT ALL. THEMSELVES AS I
UNDERSTAND IT THE EXPECTATIONS
OF STUDENTS WOULD BE RULED BY
TWENTY NINETEEN. IS THAT
REASONABLE FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE.
GIVEN THE EXPERIENCE YOU HAD
WITH CURRENT ONLINE GIVEN YOUR
COLLEGES EXPERIENCE WITH REALLY
KIND OF KICK START THE WHOLE
THING FOR US OVER TWENTY SOME
YEARS AGO. IS NINETEEN
REASONABLE IN THAT THIS IS
FEBRUARY OF EIGHTEEN.
THIRTY ONE. OF THE ONLINE
EDUCATION INITIATIVE WAS STARTED
IN TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN
FOURTEEN AND IT IS IT IS MEETING
ITS GOALS AND IT'S SAD
GUIDELINES AS IT WAS LAID OUT.
THAT MEANS THAT THIS IS ITS
FIFTH YEAR IN IN. EXISTENCE AND
THIS IS THE YEAR IT'S SUPPOSED
TO START EXPANDED.
SO I ENDED ITS THERE'S TWENTY
MORE COLLEGES THAT WANTS TO SIGN
UP AND AND MY MEAN IN TERMS
ADMINISTRATION'S CURRENT
PROPOSALS I AM REFLECTING YOUR
QUESTION NOT GOT IT. ANYONE ELSE
LIKE TO EAT THE DEFLECTOR ANSWER
YOUR POINT IS THAT TO YOU QUITE
A FEW YEARS TO GET THAT I GOT
YOU YES MADAM CHAIR IF I MEAN IN
SOME WAYS IT ANSWERS A THE.
PRIOR QUESTION AROUND THE HANDS
ON EXPERIENCE. SO.
FOOTHILL COLLEGE IS ONE OF THE
FIFTEEN PILOT PROJECTS OUT YET
WITH THE BACALAUREATE US
SCIENCE DEGREE IN DENTAL HYGIENE.
AND WE HAVE BEEN OFFERING THAT
WITH OUR CLINIC TWENTY TWO
STUDENTS I'M LOOKING FOR TO
CONFIRM THE DEGREE THIS STUFF
THIS JUNE. BUT WHAT WE ARE ALSO
DOING THAT IS VERY FASCINATING
AND WE CAME UP WITH THE IDEA
THIS YEAR AROUND OFFERING ONLINE
FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE ALREADY
HAVING THEIR. EIGHT ASSOCIATE
DEGREE TO THEN GET THEIR
BACCALAUREATE DEGREE ONLINE AND
WE ALREADY HAVE MORE THAN TWO
HUNDRED STUDENTS ON A WAIT LIST.
TOO WANTED TO HAVE THAT FOR THAT
UPSCALING AND IN ADDITION WE
WERE ABLE TO MOVE QUICKLY TO NOW
OFFER AT THIS SPRING. SO I DON'T
THINK.
I KNOW THE ADMINISTRATION IS
DOES HAVE A VERY AGGRESSIVE
TIMELINE AND YOU KNOW IT IS A
FAIR STATEMENT AROUND HAVING A
MORE DETAILED BUSINESS PLAN.
NEVER THE LESS I CAN TELL YOU
THAT THE NEEDS ARE THERE.
AND IT IT IS POSSIBLE TO
CAPTURE THAT NEED. BETTER SHORT
ANSWER IT IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE
CHALLENGED I'M A CHEMIST BY JOHN
THERE'S A A GAS LAW THAT SAYS A
GAS EXPANDS TO FILL THE BALL YOU
MADE AVAILABLE TO IT. SIX SAME
FOR CEOS WE TAKE AS LONG TO
CREATE SOMETHING AS YOU GIVE US.
SO GIVE US LESS TIME GIVE US THE
MONEY CHALLENGES TO DO IT GET
ANSWERED. SENATOR NIELSEN.
PRESIDENT STRUGGLES THAT TELL
YOU THIS INSTITUTION ABIDE BY
THAT RULE OF CHEMISTRY.
YES WE DO.
WHICH IS. NOT JUST LEFT BY THE
WAY I ENJOYED FOUR YEARS OF
COLLEGE COMPETING AT THE
MOUNTAIN TONY RELEASED TO A
BEAUTIFUL CAMPUS.
YOU TALKED A LOT ABOUT KRYCEK IT
AND THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT. TO
MOST OF US ARE MANY OF US. AND
IT'S COMING BACK. IT'D DECLINED
AND BEEN SHOVED ASIDE FOR MANY
YEARS AROUND HERE AND IT'S ON
ITS WAY BACK.
HE TALKED A LOT ABOUT I THINK
THEY KIND OF CREATED WITH THE
USE OF CERTIFICATES SET UP AND
UP. THOUGH. OVER FROM WHAT YOU
CALL THEM THEY HAVE METAL METALS
I GUESS IT WASN'T. BADGES BADGES
BADGES. NOW.
ARE THEY ACCEPTED THEN BY.
EMPLOYERS AS SOME KIND OF A
CERTIFICATION OFFICIAL
CERTIFICATION OR IS THIS JUST
KIND OF WELL YOU KNOW. YOU'VE
DONE IT AND THIS IS A%
CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION IT
OTHERWISE HOW HOW IS IT WAITED
BY. THE EMPLOYING COMMUNITY. SO
MY SON IS A HIGH TECH AS
SECURITY AN INSTALLER INSTALLS A
BIKE THAT FANCY STUFF ON IT.
ELEVATORS AND SO ON.
THE COMPANIES THAT MAKE THAT
REQUIRE TRAINING.
FOR THE WARRANTY TO BE GOOD. SO
WE PROVIDE TRAINING THAT MEETS
THE INDUSTRY STANDARD AND THAT
BAD WHICH IS JUST SHORT TERM
FOCUSED ON THAT MANUFACTURES
NEED. ENABLES HIM TO SAY WHEN I
GO OUT AND WORK ON YOUR ELEVATOR.
AND INSTALL IT THE WARRANTY IS
GOOD AND HE HAS TO SIGN IMPROVE
THE CERTIFICATE NUMBER FROM HIS
BADGE TO THE. MANUFACTURER TO BE
ABLE TO SAY THAT THAT WARRANTY
IS GOOD THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF A
BAD KIND OF A MISTER GOODWRENCH
KIND OF BAD THERE ARE. INDUSTRY
DRIVEN CERTIFICATES THAT WE'RE
MISSING THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRAINING FOR
AND THERE WERE OUR LUNCHES BEING
TAKEN NOT ONLY BY THE DEPRIVES
OF THE WORLD BUT ALSO BY IN
HOUSE TRAINING OF LARGE
CORPORATIONS. SO THE SMALLER
CORPORATIONS WHO DON'T HAVE HAT
ACCESS DON'T ARE NOT ABLE TO
HIRE THOSE PEOPLE YES WE CAN DO
THIS I'M DELIGHTED TO HEAR THAT
TO.
IN THE SERVICE.
DO YOU HAVE TO BE ACCREDITED IN
ANY MANNER I DON'T MEAN THE WEST
ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOLS AND.
COMMUNITY COLLEGES WAS A WHOLE
HECK OF A PROBLEM HERE FOR MANY
YEARS ON TALKING ABOUT. IT DID
WHAT THEY REQUIRE THEN SOME KIND
OF A CERTIFICATION OF YOUR
PROGRAM. OR OR OR THE CURRICULUM.
HOW DOES THAT WORK?
IF YOU WANT ME TO FINANCE IT YOU
HAVE TO GIVE ME THE MONEY AND%
FOR YOU TO GIVE ME THE MONEY I
HAVE TO BE ACCREDITED. SO YES
BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE
REGIONAL ACCREDITED THROUGH THE.
ACC JC IT COULD BE NATIONAL
ACCREDITATION THROUGH THE US
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND MANY
ONLINE C. T. COLLEGES ARE.
ACCREDITED IN THAT MANNER THAT
ALLOWS FIGHT FOR FEDERAL
FINANCIAL AID AND IF YOU AS A
LEGISLATURE CHOOSE TO WRITE THAT
INTO THE AUTHORIZATION FOR THIS
ONLINE COMMUNITY COLLEGE IT
WOULD ALLOW US. TO GET. STATE
PROP NINETY EIGHT FUNDING FOR
THIS INITIATIVE THAT'S THAT'S
IMPORTANT NOW LET ME ASK
RECESSION BACH FROM LASSEN. AS
I'VE.
FIRST THEY TOOK A LOOK AT THIS
IT IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS
MIGHT BE A BOON TO A LOT OF THEM
MORE RURAL. COMMUNITY COLLEGES
YOU'RE ONE OF THE MOST RURAL OF
ALL.
I REPRESENTED NINETEEN DIFFERENT
COUNTY SO I REPRESENT A LOT OF
THESE.
WELL A SUBURBAN COMMUNITY
COLLEGES.
OF.
IN TERMS OF REACHING OUT IT AND
GETTING.
STUDENTS.
THEN I'M NOT GOING TO COLLEGE
FULL TIME EQUIVALENTS JUSTLY
STUDENT.
UP.
HOW DIFFICULT IS IT?
TO COMMUNICATE TO A BROADER.
AREA SUCH AS YOU HAVE GOT TO LET
ME DO GO ONLY IN THE BOUNDARIES
OF YOUR OWN COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT OR DO YOU JUST SOLICIT
ANYWHERE.
IN TERMS OF SOLICITING OUR
PROGRAMS AND OFFERINGS WE WE
WORKED MOST CLOSELY WITH THOSE
THAT ARE IN OUR IN OUR IN OUR
AREA. US WE WORK WITH THE TOWNS
OF ALTARS AND CEDARVALE IN MODOC
IN BIG VALLEY SURPRISE VALLEY OF
HER LONG ALL THESE TINY
COMMUNITIES IN THE NORTHEASTERN
CORNER OF THE STATE. BUT THE
REALITY IS STUDENTS COME TO US
FROM ALL OVER THE PLACE I TEACH
ONLINE. AND IN MY ENGLISH
CLASSES EVERY SEMESTER EVERY
SUMMER I HAVE STUDENTS SPRINKLED
ACROSS THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
FROM SAN DIEGO THROUGH THE
CENTRAL VALLEY. THROUGH THE BAY
AREA THROUGH THE NORTH VALLEY
CHICO REDDING AREA AND EVEN THAT
ONLINE IN OUR GEOGRAPHIC AREA
AND SO WE DON'T NECESSARILY GO
OUT AND MARKET THE STUDENTS BUT
THEY FIND US. OF THEY NEED
ONLINE COURSE THEY COME AND FIND
WHAT'S AVAILABLE AND THEY TAKE
COURSES WITH US OR THEY MAY HAVE.
YOU KNOW COME TO THE AREA AT
SOME POINT ESTABLISHED A
CONNECTION IN OUR LIVING
SOMEWHERE ELSE BUT MAINTAIN THAT
CONNECTION. AND SO ODD WE DON'T
EXPLICITLY MARKET OUTSIDER YET
BUT WE ABSOLUTELY SIR I'M NOT
SURE OF THAT AREA ABSOLUTELY
OKAY WELL I.
FIRST I WAS PRETTY SKEPTICAL IN
MAYBE JUNE SOME AREAS I STILL AM
BUT I'M BY MORE DISPOSED TO
THERE MAY BE MERIT IN THIS.
THIS ENTERPRISE AND NOT I THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY ALL OF
YOU TODAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH
SENATOR ROTH THANK YOU MADAM
THANK YOU MADAM CHAIR YOU KNOW
I'VE BEEN SORT OF SILENT DURING
THIS.
UP PRESENTATION THIS PANEL IN
THE TWO BEFORE.
I. AM PRIVILEGED TO REPRESENT.
AN AREA IN INLAND SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA WHERE WE HAVE
HISTORICALLY BEEN CHALLENGED BY.
LOW HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES
AND.
LOW COLLEGE GOING RATE SO WE
HAVE BECOME KNOWN AS THE.
WAREHOUSE CAPITAL CERTAINLY OF
CALIFORNIA IF NOT THE WORLD IN
AN IN AN ERA WHEN WAREHOUSING
JOBS ARE CHANGING RAPIDLY AND.
ON ON ON.
I'M ALSO PRIVILEGED TO REPRESENT
AN AREA THAT HAS A NUMBER OF.
OUTSTANDING COMMUNITY COLLEGES
IN.
I AM EXTRAORDINARILY PROUD OF
THE THIS IS A COMMENT BY THE WAY
AND NOT A QUESTION MADAM CHAIR.
I AM A LAWYER OCCASIONALLY.
AND I DO KNOW HOW TO ASK ONE
BUT I WANT TO MAKE A COMMENT I'M
EXTRAORDINARILY PROUD OF THE
WORK TO IT. COMMUNITY COLLEGES
AND OUR ADMINISTRATORS IN OUR
FACULTY IN PARTICULAR.
HAVE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO IN
THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN FRANKLY
UP AND DOWN.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA NOW I'VE
I'VE BEEN VISITED AS I KNOW MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE BY. A NUMBER OF
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES IN THE
REGION.
.
BY FACULTY INVITED MINISTRATIONS
AND I AM SENSITIVE.
TO THE COMMENTS THAT WERE MADE
IN MY OFFICE BY ALL OF THOSE
PEOPLE. ARE WITH RESPECT TO THIS
PROPOSAL.
BUT HAVE TO SAY HIS YOU KNOW
EVER SINCE I WAS ELECTED AND
CAME UP HERE IN JANUARY OF TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN. I HAVE.
OFFERED CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
I CALL IT TO KATE THROUGH
FOURTEEN IN HIGHER EDUCATION.
ABOUT THE NEED TO BE INNOVATIVE
AND NOT TO DO. WHAT THEY DO?
A TWO DAY TOMORROW JUST BECAUSE
WE'VE BEEN DOING IT FOR FIFTY
YEARS IN A STATE WHICH. HAS
CONTINUING BUDGETARY CHALLENGES
AND ROBABLY WILL. FOR THE ROOT
CERTAINLY FOR THE REST OF MY
POLITICAL LIFETIME AND PERHAPS
MY LIFETIME.
I WAS.
REMINDED AS I SAT THROUGH THESE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ON AN
AIRFORCE COLONEL WHO WHEN I WAS
A VERY VERY YOUNG A MILITARY
OFFICER IN FACING SOME.
OF STRUGGLES WITH A PARTICULAR
DECISION.
WHO TOLD ME FORTUNE FAVORS THE
BOLT?
AND SO THE QUESTION IS IS THIS
BOLD IDEA WHICH I THINK IT YOU
WOULD CALL IT A BOLD IDEA. A
GOOD IDEA.
AND AND I DON'T KNOW.
BUT IF IT IS A GOOD IDEA THEN
THE QUESTION IS HOW TO
ACCOMPLISH THIS BOLD IDEA. IN A
STATE THAT HAS CERTAINLY PROVEN
THE ABILITY TO SWALLOW.
ANY GOOD IDEA.
WELL WHO. AND HOW TO STRUCTURE
IT.
I STRUGGLE WITH ANNA AND WHETHER
TO TRY TO FORCE THIS INTO A
LOCAL PILOT PROGRAM WHERE WE
HAVE ESTABLISHED. ONLINE
EDUCATION WHICH FRANKLY SOUNDS
MORE LIKE TRADITIONAL ONLINE
EDUCATION TWO DEGREES AND AND WE
SEEM TO MIX.
THESE ISSUES EVEN IN THE PANEL
AND THE PANEL DISCUSSION TODAY
WE TALK ABOUT ASSOCIATE TO
BACHELORS DEGREE WE TALK ABOUT
ONLINE EDUCATION WAS. FOR NEW
CREDENTIALING FOR NEW JOBS AND
NEW CERTIFICATES AND AND AND
WHILE THERE IS CERTAINLY SOME
UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHAT THIS
PROPOSAL IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO
GET AT. AND WHETHER IT'S A
PROBLEM LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION
OR A SOLUTION LOOKING FOR A
PROBLEM. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE
PROPOSAL SEEMS TO BE TALKING TO.
AND SO.
.
I DO KNOW THIS.
I THINK IF IT IS IF THE BOLD
IDEA AND IS BOLD IS A GOOD IDEA.
AND IF IT NEEDS TO BE
IMPLEMENTED SOMEHOW WHEREVER AND
HOWEVER WE DO IT.
WITHOUT SOME CENTRALIZED COMMAND
IN CONTROL HERE.
THERE IS A DANGER. THAT THE
MONEY IN THE IMPACT OF THE MONEY.
WILL BE DIFFUSED AND THE RESULT
WILL BE DIFFICULT.
BUT TO MONITOR AND MEASURE.
AND I HAVE ALSO BEEN SAYING THIS
CONSISTENTLY SINCE I'VE BEEN ON
THE BUDGET COMMITTEE NOW THIS IS
MY SIXTH YEAR. THAT WE NEED TO
HAVE CLEAR GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
THAT NEED TO BE MEASURED AND WE
NEED A SINGLE POINT. OF
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS THING.
BECAUSE IF IT IS A BOLD IDEA F.
AND IF IT IS A GOOD IDEA.
AND IF IT IS TO BE ACCOMPLISHED
WE NEED TO HOLD SOMEBODY
ACCOUNTABLE FOR DOING THAT AND
IF IT DOESN'T WORK WE NEED TO
KILL IT. AND IF IT WORKS WE NEED
TO.
MAKE SURE THAT IT FORCES.
NOW THE FUTURE ORGANIZATIONAL
STRUCTURE OF THIS THING WHO
KNOWS WHAT THAT IS GOING TO LOOK
LIKE IT MAY VERY WELL BE IN MY
VIEW. DOWN AT THE LOCAL
COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICTS TO
TO TAKE AND TO BUILD ON AND TO
MOVE FORWARD WITH.
BUT THIS GRAND EXPERIMENT AS IT
SEEMS TO BE AT LEAST IN THE
INITIAL STAGES.
APPEARS TO HAVE SOME MERIT.
SOME LAWYER AND I LOOK FORWARD
TO THE CONTINUING DISCUSSION
ABOUT WHERE THAT. WHERE HE IS
AND THAT'S MY COMMENT MADAM
CHAIR THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PATIENCE AND THANK YOU SIR
DOCTOR PAIN?
SEARCH MAN CHAIR OF. OKAY THANK
YOU SIR WHAT ONE THING I JUST
WANNA SAY THAT IS THE FIRST OF
ALL.
I APPRECIATE THE PROPOSAL BUT I
ALSO WANT A KNOWLEDGE THE
TREMENDOUS WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE
AND I THINK WE CAN YOU KNOW WE
TALK ABOUT THIS QUOTE BOLD NEW
IDEA I WOULD HAVE ALSO POINT OUT
THAT.
PEOPLE ARE A DOING YET SOME OF
THE PEOPLE SITTING AT THIS VERY
TABLE OR A DOING IT SO.
SO I THINK THIS BOLD NEW IDEA
IS GREAT BEING EMBRACED BY THE
CURRENT FACULTY AND COMMITTEE
CALLED AND. BECAUSE THE SCENE
ARE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH
JUST SENT ME COLLEGE DISTRICTS.
THE QUESTION I HAD FOR YOU IS
STILL THE PREVIOUS PANEL.
THE THE FOLKS SPOKE TO SO.
THEY SAID WELL WE HAVE A PROBLEM
TAKING THESE SKILLS YOU I'VE
HEARD SOME GREAT EXAMPLES OF
THINGS YOU'RE DOING.
WHAT'S STOPPING IT FROM SO YOU
INVENT AN ONLINE COURSE ON
ELSA'S ON COURSE WORK WE DID
ALLOW EVERY CALIFORNIAN TO
POTENTIALLY ACCESS THAT WE CAN
BETTER THINGS WE CAN DO. AND
THEN.
AND AND I GUESS THAT.
AND I GUESS ONE OF THE
QUESTIONS I ALSO HAVE THAT FOR.
DISTINTA SAID THAT THE.
BUT THE.
ACADEMIC SENATE IS THAT. ARE
THERE WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS TO.
BASICALLY ONE TO ME COLLEGE
DISTRICT RECOGNIZING AN ONLINE
COURSE TAUGHT BY ANOTHER ONE ARE
RECIPROCAL RESPECT HALLETT IAN
CREDITS AND STUFF LIKE THAT I
MEAN. ARE ARTISTS WAYS THAN IT
DID TO ME ANY OF THAT. DON'T
THINK THAT THERE ISN'T A PLACE
PERHAPS FOR THE YOUNG STATE WIDE
DUMB. GUY GOVERNORS TO HELP DO
SOME CENTRALIZATION TRACKING
MONITORING CETERA BUT. AT SAME
TIME IN A WHILE WE HAVE ALL OF
YOUR DOING THE ONLINE STUFF WE
HAVE A CONSORTIUM HERE WE HAVE
AN ONLINE EDUCATION INITIATIVE.
WHY CAN'T WE LEVERAGE THAT TO DO
WHAT THE PURPOSES ARE?
SO.
.
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION.
I THINK YOU ARE TRACKING THE
SAME WAY THE FACULTY WHO AT OUR
AND OUR FAULTS HONOREE SESSION
WHEN WE ASKED THEM TO WEIGH IN
ON WHERE WE SHOULD. WE SHOULD
DELIVER TO YOU.
I THINK THAT'S THE SAME TRACK
AND WE HEARD THAT THERE ARE.
THERE'S A PROGRAM ABOUT
SECURITY SYSTEMS THERE'S A
PROGRAM ABOUT ORTHOPEDIC NURSING
HEALTH INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AS
A WHOLE PROGRAM OFFERED AT
SHASTA ONLINE. AND THERE'S A
SPACE IN CHERYL'S ENGLISH CLASS
IN THE SUMMER.
WE HEARD ABOUT WE HAVE A
CONSORTIUM THAT IS WORKED OUT.
.
WHAT WE WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS
MAKE SURE THAT IF THEY ARE
ONLINE? HOW DO WE SPUR THE
INNOVATION OF OF EXPANDING WHAT
CAN BE OFFERED ONLINE? WE HAVE
FIFTY THOUSAND FACULTY. IN THE
SYSTEM ALREADY AT A HUNDRED
FOURTEEN COLLEGES TRYING TO
ANSWER THAT QUESTION. OUT RIGHT
NOW WE HAVE THE ONLINE EDUCATION
INITIATIVE THAT IS DOING EXACTLY
WHAT IT WAS TOLD TO DO. AND SO
PERHAPS. EXERTING. MORE
DIRECTION TO ABOUT ABOUT WHERE
WE WANTED TO GO AND HOW WE
WANTED TO WORK AND INCENTIVIZING
OR FINDING A WAY. TO EASE THE
REGULATORY BURDEN THAT WE'VE
ALREADY TALKED ABOUT TODAY.
TO EASE THAT FOR ALL COLLEGES
TO BE ABLE TO JOIN THAT
CONSORTIUM SEEMS LIKE A WAY.
THAT THE STUDENT IN LASSEN WHO'S
GOING TO INSTALL SECURITY
SYSTEMS CAN ENROLL IN THE MOUNT
SAC.
GRAHAM BECAUSE THERE ISN'T ONE
LASSEN. AND THE STUDENT AT MOUNT
SAC WHO CAN'T GET INTO THAT
ENGLISH CLASS BECAUSE IT'S FULL
AND THEY NEED TO TAKE IT ON LINE
BECAUSE THEY HAVE AN UNSTABLE
WORKING SCHEDULE. CAN CAN TAKE
IT UP. AT THE ONLINE COLLEGE AT
LASSEN AND A WAY TO CONNECT
THOSE.
IN THE COMPENDIUM OF EDUCATION
SO THAT THE STUDENT ISN'T
LIMITED IN THIS BOX AND THEN HAS
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET TO THAT
BOX. THE WAY WE ENSURE THE
ARTICULATION BETWEEN ALL OF THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS THROUGH
THE COURSE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
ING SYSTEM THE C. ID SYSTEM.
THAT ONCE WE HAVE MODEL
CURRICULA AND.
COURSE DESCRIPTORS THAT ARE
APPROVED THROUGH A FACULTY
DRIVEN PROCESS THAT ENSURES THAT
EVERY OTHER COMMUNITY COLLEGE
WHO OFFERS THAT THAT COURSE OR
THAT COMPETENCY THAT WE'VE
EXPANDED INTO CITY AREAS. CAN
ALSO.
IT WILL ALSO SATISFY THOSE
REQUIREMENTS THAT THE CONDITION.
OF PARTICIPATING IN SOCIETY AND
SO THAT'S HOW WE ENSURE THAT THE
STUDENT AT MOUNT SAC OR FOOT
HEALTH WHO TAKES THE LAST IN
ENGLISH CLASS OR THE SECURITY
CLASS ONE. IN A COMPETENCY
DRIVEN NON CREDIT ONLINE COURSE.
IS OKAY.
TO COMPLETE IT AT ANOTHER
COLLEGE.
AND THERE IS SOME COMMENT ABOUT.
TERMS OF LIBRARIES TO LIKE NOT
DOING THINGS ON AN ACADEMIC
SCHEDULE MEANS THAT THAT
SOLVABLE PROBLEM.
LIKE I WANT TO DO THIS COURSE
BUT BECAUSE I'M WORKING FULL
TIME I'M GONNA DO IT OVER. A
YEAR ARE I'M WHAT I NEED TO
QUICKLY AND THEY DO IT PERIOD OF.
THREE WEEKS SIR TWO WEEKS AND I
WANNA START IN THE SUMMER AND
NOT YOU KNOW AT THAT WAY TILL
SEPTEMBER.
IT IS BEEN SUGGESTED BY THE
FACULTY THAT I COMPLETELY AND
THE IM TWO CONSTRUCTION OFFICERS
I BELIEVE THAT A COMPLETE REVIEW
OF THE ATTENDANCE ACCOUNTING
MANUAL. THAT IN.
THAT INCENTIVIZE ISN'T THIS
INCENTIVIZE IS CERTAIN WAYS WE
OFFER SERVICES TO STUDENTS
ESPECIALLY COURSES. NEEDS TO BE
REVIEWED.
SO THAT THERE ISN'T THAT
DISINCENTIVE.
THE FURTHER I THINK THAT'S THE
PLACE TO START.
FOR THAT COURSE OF HEALTH
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY YOU CAN'T
IN ROLE IN IT EXCEPT ON THE
SEMESTER BASIS. IT DOESN'T GIVE
CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNING. IT
DOES NOT COMPETENCY BASED SOON
AS SOON AS YOU ACHIEVE THE
COMPETENCIES YOU CAN'T. GET YOUR
CERTIFICATE AND GET TO WORK.
SO THE MODEL THAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT WHILE THE TRADITIONAL
DELIVERY MODEL WORKS VERY WELL
IN A WAY I WHICH HAS A COURSE
EXCHANGE. SO THAT YES. STUDENT
MOUNT SAC AND TAKE THE SHASTA
EACH IDEA AND. THROUGH THE
COURSE EXCHANGE AND BE SURE THAT
THE CREDIT COUNSELOR MY COLLEGE
AND THE ARTICULATION IS WORKED
OUT. THESE OTHER ELEMENTS THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE
UNIQUE DESIGN OF THE ONLINE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. DOES NOT
PROVIDE THOSE ADDITIONAL.
ELEMENTS THAT THE EMPLOYER
TELLING US AND THE ON THE
POTENTIAL WORKERS ARE TELLING US.
I DON'T I DON'T HAVE A SEMESTER
TO SPEND ON THIS I DON'T HAVE A
SEMESTER TO WAIT FOR MY WORKER.
I'VE ALREADY DONE THIS WORK AND
I JUST NEED THAT PIECE OF PAPER.
THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT WE'RE
BEING TOLD THAT THE SYSTEM WILL
ENABLE US TO DO WE HAVE IT ALL
WORKED OUT YET. NO BUT THE
MESSAGE WE'RE HEARING FROM
EMPLOYERS AND POTENTIAL WORKERS
IS COMMON AND WE HAVE ENOUGH OF
THE WORK NATIONALLY AND WITHIN
OUR INDIVIDUAL COLLEGES TO SAY
THAT THIS MODEL WORKS. LET'S SEE
IF WE CAN CHALLENGE OURSELVES
AND NOT JUST BUILD THE ROOM WITH
GAS BUT ACTUALLY PRODUCE THOSE
CERTIFICATES AND EMPLOYERS VALUE.
IF I WERE GOING TO HOLD US
ACCOUNTABLE IT WOULD BE FOR WHAT
YOU HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE FOR IN
THE STRONG WORK FORCE PROGRAM.
THIS YEAR ONE SIX THE MONEY WE
GET IS BASED ON WHETHER WE PUT
PEOPLE TO WORK OR NOT.
THAT'S THE ACCOUNTABILITY.
SO I GUESS ULTIMATELY MY
QUESTION IS GOING TO BE CAN CAN
CAN WE FIX THAT PART OF IT AND
IF YOU DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER
RIGHT NOW MAYBE. OUR PARTY KNOW
THAT WE CAN HAVE ANSWERED BY
TIME HE HEARS IT.
I I THINK THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
WORKING ON IN DIFFERENT PARTS OF
THE SYSTEM RIGHT.
MIGHT MIGHT.
YOU HAVE THE FINAL WORD THERE
ARE A LOT OF TOOLS THAT
CURRENTLY EXISTS RIGHT NOW BUT
THE TOOLS ARE NOT INCENTIVIZED
IN SUCH A WAY ARE NEVER ALLOWED
TO BE MOBILIZED IN SUCH A WAY
THAT'S QUICK. WHETHER IT BE
CREDIT BY EXAM THE
APPRENTICESHIP TYPE OF PROGRAM
WHETHER BE HYBRID ONLINE. MANY
TOOLS THAT ARE ACTUALLY LEGAL
TOOLS WITHIN THE SYSTEM RIGHT
NOW BUT IT IS NOT IN A WAY
THAT'S ROBUST ENOUGH AND DOES
NOT HAVE THE RIGHT FUNDING
INCENTIVE ENOUGH. THAT CREATES
IT THAT'S WHY THIS NOTION OF A
STATEWIDE EFFORT THAT'S
EXPERTISE A TO UTILIZE THOSE
TOOLS AND POSSIBLY GET SOME
FURTHER ADDITIONAL REGULATORY
RELIEF. IS APPEALING FOR MANY
AND QUITE FRANKLY THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL ON
THIS HAS CHALLENGED ALL OUR
COLLEGE WHY ARE WE SERVING THE
TWO POINT FIVE MILLION OF
STUDENTS POSSIBLE STUDENTS. AND
WHAT CAN WE DO REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER THIS ONE ONE HUNDRED
FIFTEEN COLLEGE APPEARS OR NOT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH WOULD LIKE
TO THANK THE PANEL FOR YOUR TIME
AND SHARING YOUR EXPERTISE WITH
US. THE CLOCK IN THE HEARING
ROOM IS WRONG. IT IS OFFICIALLY
ONE FIFTY NINE AND THERE ARE
TWENTY FIVE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CUED
UP. AND SO WHAT I'M GOING TO
STRONGLY SUGGEST WHICH IS WHAT
I'VE DONE IN THE PAST IS FOR YOU
TO LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE WHO
TESTIFIED IN FRONT OF YOU SO YOU
DON'T FEEL COMPELLED TO REPEAT
WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN SAID. THAT
YOU KEEP YOUR COMMENTS.
CALL TO THIRTY SECONDS THAN A
MINUTE THIS IS NOT THE ONLY TIME
WILL BE DISCUSSING THIS ISSUE.
YOU'LL HAVE ADDITIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES IN THE BUDGET
SUBCOMMITTEE PROCESS. TO DELVE
MORE DEEPLY INTO WHAT WILL THE
END VERY LIKELY BE A MORE
FLESHED OUT PROPOSAL. OUT WITH
THAT AND I'M COUNTING ON YOU TO
SET A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR THE
TWENTY FOUR PEOPLE BEHIND YOU IN
TERMS OF TIME AND THE THING MISS
PLEASE IDENTIFY YOURSELF. WILL
START PUBLIC COMMENT JERKED HER
CHILD DISABILITY RIGHTS
CALIFORNIA I JUST WANT TO NOTE
THAT THE CONSPICUOUSLY ABSENT
BOTH FROM THIS DISCUSSION TODAY
AND ALSO FROM THE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGES HOW THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES THROUGH THIS PLAN WILL
ENSURE. EQUAL ACCESS TO PERSONS
WITH A DISABILITY IS I WOULD
REFER TO THE COMMITTEE TO THE
STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT.
OF JUST TWO MONTHS AGO THAT.
WAS CRITICAL OF THE EFFORTS OF
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGES OF THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE BY NOT
INSURING TECHNOLOGY.
MEETS THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES WE LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
COMMITTEE AND THE ADMINISTRATION
IN THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE THANK
YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON JENNIFER BAKER
WITH THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION WE I I SHARE IN THE
OVERALL GOAL OF SERBIAN
UNDERSTEER STUDENTS. WE MAY HAVE
SOME PROP NINETY EIGHT CONCERNS
WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THIS
SYSTEM AND WE WILL WE ALSO DO HAVE SOME BARGAINING
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING CONCERNS
AND WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE
STRUCTURE. IS GOING TO BE ABLE
TO ADEQUATELY MEET SOME
THRESHOLD THAT WE WOULD HAVE FOR
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING BUT WE
LIKE TO EXPLORE WHAT OPTIONS ARE
FUSIBLE IN FUTURE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS ARMED MAN CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS THANK YOU UNTIE THE LINE
AND WE HAVE THE FACULTY
ASSOCIATION CONFERENCE COMMITTEE
COLLEGES WE HAVE SUBMITTED A
LETTER TO YOU EXPLAINING OUR
CONCERNS. I DO WANT TO EMPHASIZE
THAT THE QUESTION FOR US IS NOT
WHETHER WE CAN BE INNOVATIVE.
BUT WHETHER WE CAN BE INNOVATIVE
WITHIN EXISTING STRUCTURES AS TO
AVOID REDUNDANCIES THERE'S
ALWAYS AN OPPORTUNITY COST IN
TERMS OF SPENDING. AND JUST THIS
YEAR WITH THERE WAS AN ARTICLE
IN A SAN FRANCISCO BASED PAPER.
ABOUT PART TIME FACULTY WHO ARE
STRUGGLING WITH SUBSISTENCE WAGE
CANNOT PAY THEIR RENT AND ARE ON
OUR ROUTE STRUGGLING. JUST TO TO
TO MAKE A LIVING WE'RE TOLD
EVERY YEAR THAT THERE'S NO MONEY
FOR THEM SO IF WE CAN LEVERAGE
INTO EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE AND
NOT CREATE A NEW APPROACH WE CAN
SERVE THE STUDENTS. AND WE CAN
ALSO HELP OUR EXISTING COLLEGES
THANK YOU. FEEL.
HELLO MY NAME IS THERESA TAURASI

IS GIVE YOU AN ANALOGY BECAUSE I
CAN'T GIVE YOU A LOT MORE

GOT TO STOP THINKING ABOUT JUST
TWO PATHWAYS. AND I THINK ADDING
FROM THE NINETY NINE ADDING THE
INTERSTATE FIVE WE SAW THE
RELIEF HAPPEN AND WE SEE. RELIEF
HAPPEN ALL THE TIME WITH ADDING
NEW. INFRASTRUCTURE IN THAT WAY
THIS IS BEING AN ADVANTAGE TO
THAT SITUATION.
I DO SEE AN ADVANTAGE THAT AND
IN FACT.
WE HAVE THE TRANSPORTATION
ISSUE THAT WE'RE STARTING IN
FRESNO WITH THE TRAIN AND SO
RIGHT NOW WE HAVE TO SACRIFICE
OUR MONIES FOR FIVE TEN YEARS
DOWN THE LINE. AND WE HAVE TO
THINK OF THIS NOW THESE
INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE WILLING TO
START NOW MY COLLEGE IS NOT
READY TO GO ON. AND THEY ARE AND

RADICALLY DIFFERENT WAY OF
DELIVERING ONLINE AND MOBILE
LEARNING TO ADD IN THIS CASE WE
ARE FOCUSED ON SEIU. US WW

AT NURSING HOME LONG TERM CARE
EMPLOYEES AND WE HAD TO GO AND
CREATE AT A TIME WHEN LABOR IS
UNDER ATTACK WE HAVE PLENTY
OTHER THINGS TO FOCUS ON. TO
CREATE IN A RADICALLY DIFFERENT
SYSTEM JUST TO GIVE AN EXAMPLE.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH
THIS PARTICULAR? PLANT
EVERYTHING IT TOOK THE
INNOVATION TO SAY WE NEED
SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAT CURRENT
ONLINE SYSTEM IS NOT SERVING OUR
WORKERS IN IS NOT RESPONDING TO
EMPLOYERS WHO WANT TO CREATE A
SPECIFIC SPECIFIC CERTIFICATE
FOR. DIETARY WORKERS WHO.
WHEN DIETARY WORKERS ARE THE
ONLY TWO IN EVERY NURSING HOMES
RIGHT ACROSS THE WHOLE STATE AND
THEN THOSE CERTIFICATES ARE
SUFFICIENT AND THEY ARE ACCEPTED
THEN BY THE TRADES IT'S IT'S A
LABOR MANAGEMENT INDUSTRY

WOULD FEEL COMFORTABLE THAT THIS
WILL ACTUALLY START TO SERVE OUR
WORKFORCE IS THAT IT HAS THE
MOST BUGS THAT WE UNDERSTAND

THE AFTERNOON IS THE CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS AT HOWARD OF THE
CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY INSTITUTE A
SINGLE MINDED DISTRICT. THE
UNIQUE MISSION UNIQUELY GEARED
TOWARD MEETING HE UNIQUE NEEDS
OF THESE UNIQUE CALIFORNIA'S WE
THINK IS A VISIONARY PROPOSAL
AND FULLY SUPPORTED. AND ITS
UNIQUE THIS IS FOUNDATIONAL BOTH
TO SERVE AS THE BASIS OF A SOLID
BUSINESS PLAN IS OBSERVED BY
SENATOR REQUIRE BUT IT'S ALSO
FOUNDATIONAL. ITS UNIQUENESS TO
MEETING THE UNIQUE CHALLENGE
POSED BY THE FOR PROFIT TO OUR
AMBITIOUSLY WITH AN ENORMOUS
AMOUNT OF CAPITAL BEHIND THEM.
LOOKING TO TRY AND MAKE CONTACT
WITH THE VERY SAME CALIFORNIANS
THAT WOULD BE SERVED BY THIS
INNOVATIVE PROPOSAL AND OF
COURSE AS YOU KNOW TOO OFTEN
THAT SECTOR REGRETTABLY. MAKES A
LOT OF PROMISES TO LIFT PEOPLE
OUT OF POVERTY.BUT AGAIN
REGRETTABLY TOO OFTEN PUSHES
THEM BACK INTO DEBT. N. INTO
POVERTY SO WE FULLY SUPPORT THIS
PROPOSAL THANK YOU THANK YOU
MISTER HOWARD.
KEN LEWIS WAS PHOENIX AND AM WE
SUPPORT DISTANCE THAT AS A TOOL
FOR SUCCESS IN ACCESS AND HIGHER
EDUCATION AND STAND READY TO
DELIVER THAT TECHNOLOGY
INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDED FOR THIS
PROPOSAL GIVE. IT UP.
I TAYLOR MYERS CALIFORNIA
COMPETES AND THE FACT OF THE
MATTER IS THAT WASN'T STATED
HERE IS THAT OUR STATE IS NOT ON
TRACK TO PRODUCE ENOUGH
CREDENTIALED AND AGREED WORKERS.
IN THE NEXT SEVEN YEARS TO BE
AND REMAIN ECONOMICALLY
COMPETITIVE ACROSS THE COUNTRY
WITH BACK UP IS ABOUT TWO POINT
FOUR MILLION CREDENTIAL DEGREED
WORKERS. AND THIS IS ONE
INNOVATIVE SCALABLE IMMEDIATE
SOLUTION TO HELP US PRODUCE THE
WORKERS NEEDED SO WE STAND IN
SUPPORT OF THIS INNOVATIVE
PROPOSAL THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS
MARGARET DIODE GRAY AND THE
DIRECTOR OF EDUCATION POLICY FOR
THE SILICON VALLEY LEADERSHIP
GROUP AND MORE FULLY SUPPORTIVE
OF THIS PROPOSAL. AND FROM OUR
PERSPECTIVE REPRESENTING FOUR
HUNDRED COMPANIES IN SILICON
VALLEY WERE HEARTENED AT THE
COMMITMENT TO CONTINUE TO ENGAGE
INDUSTRY TO IDENTIFY THOSE KEY
SKILLS NEEDS. AND IF THE
PLATFORM LEVERAGES THE
CONSIDERABLE TALENT OF OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE FACULTY AND
TAPS INTO EXISTING EFFORTS TO
ENGAGE INDUSTRY IT WILL BECOME
AN EFFECTIVE TOOL TO TO PROVIDE
MORE ECONOMIC MOBILITY FOR OUR.
COMMUNITY AND SO WE APPLAUD THE
VISION THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME A
GUILT.
THANK YOU AGAIN FOR COMING WITH
THE CALIFORNIA FEDERATION
TEACHERS IN THE LOS RIOS CALLS
FEDERATION. OF TEACHERS IN
SACRAMENTO BUT WE HAVE SERIOUS
CONCERNS WITH THIS PROPOSAL.
NO I THINK THAT WHAT YOU SAW
ESPECIALLY WITH THOSE. ARE TO BE
CALLED THE CEOS HERE WAS THAT
THE STRENGTH OF COMING COLLEGES
IS CRUELLY BUT LOCAL DISTRICTS
UNDERSTAND THE NEEDS OF THE
STUDENTS AND THE WORK FORCE
NEEDS IN THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
AND THE DECISIONS TO HOW BEST TO
ADDRESS THOSE WE BELIEVE THAT A
STATE WIDE ONE SIZE FITS ALL
ONLINE COLLEGE IS THE MOST IF
INEFFICIENT WAY TO ADDRESS THOSE
WORKFORCE NEEDS.
IN ADDITION WE THINK THAT AN
ONLINE EDUCATION IF YOU HAVE TO
BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY EXACERBATES
THE EDUCATION GAP FOR THE
STUDENTS THAT DOES NOT CLOSE IT.
THE OTHER THING IS THAT IF YOU
DO OFFER THESE SORTS OF CLASSES.
AN OPEN ACCESS OPEN ENROLLMENT
SYSTEM HOW DO YOU GUARANTEE THAT
THE STUDENT POPULATION THAT YOU
SET YOUR TARGETING ARE ACTUALLY
GOING TO ROLL IN THOSE CLASSES
ARE YOU GOING TO SEE. THE
TRADITIONAL SINCE THAT WE ALL
SEE IN OUR COMMITTEE COLLEGES GO
AHEAD AND TAKE THOSE CLASSES
AHEAD OF THEM. HEIGHTENED YOU
THERE'S NO GUARANTEE OF THAT ALL
THE OTHER THING IS THAT IT'S
HARD TO DEVELOP A HOW TO IT'S
NOT HARD TO THE LUNAR PROGRAM
WHEN YOU HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SEEN
AN ACTUAL. CERTIFICATE OR BADGE
RIGHT THERE AND WHAT ARE THE
CLASSES THAT ARE GOING TO BE FOR
THAT BATCH HAVE YOU SEEN ANY OF
THOSE. HAVE YOU SEEN WHETHER
THEY'RE REALLY GOING TO BE
RELEVANT OR NOT YOU HAVEN'T SEEN
IT HOW DO YOU EVALUATE A PROGRAM
HOW DO YOU MOVE FORWARD WITHOUT
THAT INFORMATION THANK YOU VERY
MUCH.
THANK YOU MELISSA I'M ALL I'M
WITH SHOT YOUR ENTRY HERE ON
BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA FACULTY
ASSOCIATION REPRESENTING FACULTY
ACROSS YES YOU CAMPUSES IN
CALIFORNIA. AND WE SHARE MANY OF
THE CONCERNS EXPRESSED BY A SEA
OF T. WE THINK THAT THE FUNDING
COULD BE BETTER SPENT TO SUPPORT
AND EXPAND EXISTING ONLINE
PROGRAM SO WE LOOK FORWARD TO
DISCUSSING THIS CONCERNS FURTHER
AT A LATER DATE. THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS JANET
HUNGER AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME TODAY I AM THE PRESIDENT OF
AMERICA OF MILLS COLLEGE AND THE
FORMER PRESIDENT OF PATTON
UNIVERSITY. IN CALIFORNIA THE
FORMER CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF INDEPENDENT
CALIFORNIA COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES AND CURRENTLY A
NATIONAL CONSULTANT TO HIGHER
EDUCATION. FOR SEVERAL DOZEN
INSTITUTIONS AND FOUNDATIONS TO
EXPAND OPPORTUNITY FOR STUDENTS.
I SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THIS
PROPOSAL I BELIEVE IT IS A BOLD
IDEA I I SHARE THAT VIEW. AND
CALIFORNIA STANDS NATIONALLY
BEHIND OTHER STATES IN
DEVELOPING A COHERENT VISION OF
WATCH ONLINE EDUCATION COULD
PROVIDED TO THE STUDENTS IN THE
STATE. AND I WANT ALSO TO SPEAK
AGAINST THE.
WHAT I'VE HEARD TODAY OFTEN
WHAT I WOULD CALL THE WHOLE PIE
THEORY WHICH IS THAT IF YOU
START SOMETHING NEW IT WILL
ESSENTIALLY TAKE AWAY FROM WHAT
OTHERS ARE DOING? I SEE THIS AS
AN OPPORTUNITY TO ENHANCE WHAT
IS ALREADY BEING DONE IN THE
PUBLIC SYSTEM AND MAKE IT MORE
COHERENT AND ACCESSIBLE TO
STUDENTS ACROSS THE STATE. NEAR
THE CONSTITUENCY I WOULD SPEAK
ON BEHALF OF THAT I HAVE NOT
HEARD HEARD SPOKEN DIRECTLY TO
TODAY. ARE THE WORKING PARENTS
AND THE PARENTS WHO ARE WORKING
AT BEING PARENTS FOR WHOM ACCESS
TO EDUCATION IS EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT FOR REASONS OF CHILD
CARE AND OTHER. NECESSITIES IN
THEIR LIVES AND HAVING ACCESS TO
ONLINE EDUCATION THAT IS CLEAR
CLEARLY MARKED AND MAKES.
THE OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO
THEM IN CONSISTENT PACKAGES
WITHIN THE TIME FRAMES THAT THEY
NEED IS TERRIBLY IMPORTANT AND
OUR STATE CAN'T AFFORD TO LOSE
OUT ON THOSE WORKERS AS WELL
THANK YOU MA'AM.
POSSIBLE.
