Breslauer, George W. – Center for Studies in Higher Education, 2013
The University of California at Berkeley now delivers more to the public of California than it ever has, and it does this on the basis of proportionally less funding by the State government than it has ever received. This claim may come as a surprise, since it is often said that Berkeley is in the process of privatizing, becoming less of a public…

Flores, Antoinette – Center for American Progress, 2014
The nation's public universities--a key vehicle of upward mobility--must do more to even the playing field for all students.

However, some standout public universities are reversing…

Deming, David J.; Yuchtman, Noam; Abulafi, Amira; Goldin, Claudia; Katz, Lawrence F. – Center for Analysis of Postsecondary Education and Employment, 2014

Institute for College Access & Success, 2013
California needs 2.3 million more people with postsecondary credentials by 2025, but that goal cannot be achieved at current college completion rates.

In 2025, if current trends persist, 41 percent of jobs will require at least a bachelor's degree and 36 percent will require some college education short of a bachelor's…
