CCPHE Issues Committee – Yes on Prop. 30 supports Governor Jerry Brown’s revenue-raising initiative on the November 6, 2012 ballot

Proposition 30: The Schools and Local Public Safety Protection Act of 2012 will provide increased funding to the University of California, California State University, and California Community College systems, helping to protect quality and student access, and stabilize California public higher education as an engine of economic growth and opportunity.

Should the measure fail to pass, the University of California, California State University and California Community College systems will lose more than a billion dollars a year, resulting in further erosion of needed services to students, steep tuition increases, course reductions, cuts to academic programs, hiring freezes and layoffs, and ultimately reduced educational opportunity.

The California Coalition for Public Higher Education Issues Committee – Yes on Prop. 30 believes the measure is an investment in California’s public higher education systems, and in our quality of life.

The California Coalition for Public Higher Education Issues Committee – Yes on Prop. 30 is co-chaired by three highly respected leaders with long histories of advocacy for California public higher education:
• Hon. Mel Levine, former U.S. Congressman and California State Assemblyman
• Jeffrey A. Seymour, former Alumni Regent, University of California
• Howard Welinsky, former Chair, California Postsecondary Education Commission
