Governor’s Higher Education Budget Proposal Elevates Workforce Alignment and Brings Back Public Segment Compacts
In our latest blog post, California Competes Executive Director Dr. Su Jin Gatlin Jez and Senior Policy and Research Analyst Alejandra Acosta examine key components of the Governor’s 2022–2023 budget proposal, including:
- the five-year commitment to public higher education that provides a 5 percent increase each year to the University of California, California State University, and California Community Colleges,
- the agreements that lay out the goals and results expected for this increased, multiyear investment, and
- the leveraging of higher education across the governor’s statewide policy priorities.
They explore how these elements can help drive the state’s recovery, examine how California’s budget history informs the current proposal, and raise questions that must be answered to maximize the impact of these historic investments.
