Key features of the Master Plan (1)
• Principle of access– to all who can benefit– state’s responsibility to fund access
• Differential admissions pools – to ensure high standards and to encourage students to take
lower division at the community colleges
• Community college transfer– ensures universal access and route to 4-year segments– 60:40 ratio to preserve access for all eligible transfers
Key features of the Master Plan (2)
• Differentiation of mission & functions
– to ensure quality and efficient allocation of resources– limits the no. of campuses offering high-cost doctoral
and professional education programs – greater focus on undergraduate education at CSU
and CCCs– cost structure enables universal access
Differentiation of function: UC
• State’s primary academic agency for research
• Undergraduate, graduate, and professional education
• Sole authority for doctoral degrees (CSU able to offer joint doctorates)
• Sole authority for instruction in law, medicine, dentistry, and veterinary medicine
Differentiation of function: CSU
• Undergraduate education, graduate, and professional education through the Master’s degree
• Teacher education• Faculty research consistent with the primary
mission of instruction• Doctorates jointly with UC or an independent
institution
Differentiation of function:Community Colleges
• Academic & vocational instruction through the first two years of undergraduate education (lower division)
• Remedial instruction• English as Second Language (ESL) courses• Adult noncredit instruction• Community service courses • Workforce training services

Indicators of concern
• Proportion of 24-year-olds with a degree in natural sciences or engineering: U.S. was 3rd in the world in 1975, 17th today
• CA 8th graders: last in the country on science tests, 7th from bottom in math
• CA has 16% of the nation’s high-tech jobs, but only 9% of nation’s S&E degrees
• K-12 inequities reflected in large numbers of math, science teachers w/o credential
