A NEW REALITY

“Where we were once among the top states in high school graduation rates, access to higher education, and degree completion rates, the state now ranks among the bottom ten in most categories.”

NATIONAL RATES – LOW TO HIGH

The discrepancy between CSU, UC and community colleges is not new. However, it is during the last 10 years that the gap has increased substantially. Between 1971 and 2000, per student revenue increased 23% and 24% for UC and CSU, respectively, while community college revenue rose a mere 4%. The report, Financing California’s Community Colleges, concludes that no change in the missions of UC and CSU can account for this disparity; obviously the California legislature simply places a higher priority on funding its 4-year colleges.

COLLEGE PRESIDENTS

• Today’s presidents are not tomorrow’s presidents.

• Increasingly diverse campuses have not had increasingly diverse leaders.

• The nature of presidential work is changing and many new presidents are unprepared for key aspects.

• The traditional presidential pipeline is insufficient – at the top and bottom – to fill expected need.

THE BIG FIX

“Forget tinkering on the margin. California must completely re-imagine its system of higher education.”

John Aubrey Douglass

Boom: A Journal of California, Summer 2011

HOW THE MIGHTY FALLAND WHY SOME COMPANIES NEVER GIVE IN

JIM COLLINS

“Every institution is vulnerable, no matter how

great. No matter how much you’ve achieved, no

matter how far you’ve gone, no matter how much

power you’ve garnered, you are vulnerable to

decline. There is no law of nature that the most

powerful will inevitably remain at the top.

Anyone can fall and most eventually do.”

The signature of the truly great versus the merely successful is not the absence of difficulty, but the ability to come back from setbacks, even cataclysmic catastrophes, stronger than before.

Great nations can decline and recover. Great companies can fall and recover. Great social institutions can fall and recover. And great individuals can fall and recover. As long as you never get entirely knocked out of the game, there remains always hope.
