Financing California’s Community Colleges
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.

WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
• NO LEADERSHIP
A LEADER DEFINES REALITY
FOR THE PEOPLE HE OR SHE LEADS
DECISIONS OF LEADERS
• Put your contributions “out there” or
keep it to yourself to avoid upsetting
anyone
• To lead is to live dangerously
• Risk
A person you would follow to a place
you would not go yourself

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 reimagine its system of higher
education.”
John Aubrey Douglass
Boom: A Journal of California, Summer 2011
“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.”
HOW THE MIGHTY FALL
AND WHY SOME COMPANIES NEVER GIVE IN
JIM COLLINS
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.
