He also liked the UC campuses in Davis, San Diego and Irvine, with their big green spaces where students studied in the sunshine. He was excited to turn in his applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, my whole high school career kind of led up to this point, you know, getting the acceptance letters from Cal Poly, the UCs,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the letters started coming in it was bad news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just kept coming. It was like the same letter, San Diego, Davis, Irvine: We regret to inform you that we won't let you in.” Cal Poly didn’t let him in either. “No wait list,” Holton said, “It felt like I wasn't even close.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s become a common story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the CSU system turned away more than 30,000 eligible students. In 2017, UC turned more than 10,000 eligible applicants away from their schools of choice, instead referring them to the only campus that has room to grow: UC Merced. And 124 of those students say they plan to enroll there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California’s population grows, and increasing numbers of high school grads meet college eligibility requirements, ever more qualified CSU and UC applicants have to compete for limited space, according to experts at the Public Policy Institute of California, who say the problem is compounded by a long-term trend toward declining state investment. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/higher-education-funding-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC data\u003c/a> shows in 1976–77, higher education spending made up 18 percent of the state budget, but by 2016–17 it had fallen to 12 percent of the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California’s demographics have changed, its propensity for growth hasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the main themes in California history is constant population growth,” said John Douglass, a research fellow at UC Berkeley’s Center for Studies in Higher Education and author of “The California Idea and American Higher Education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference now, he argues, is a lack of vision. The feat of California’s famed \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/acadinit/mastplan/mpsummary.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1960 Master Plan for Higher Education\u003c/a> was not that it established an accessible high-quality college system -- that already existed -- but that it secured that promise for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great legacy of the Master Plan was an agreement about how the system should grow, what campuses should be developed, and what kind of money would be involved,” Douglass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a plan through 1975, but the state hasn’t come up with an alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're living off of infrastructure and an investment by the state that's 50 years old,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657228\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657228\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Holton says he was a good student in high school. He was in AP classes, involved in school clubs, sports and activities. Here he is as homecoming royalty his senior year. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Danny Holton)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>So what students like Holton are experiencing is in part the result of a failure to adequately plan for the boom in college-eligible high school grads, according to Douglass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don't have anybody doing any long-term enrollment studies as of now, so we need a lot of homework to be done,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Holton’s rejection letters piled up, he was grateful he had a backup plan. His college counselor had urged him to apply to a few out-of-state schools, and the news from outside California was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got my acceptance from ASU (Arizona State University), that was awesome,” Holton said. He even got a certificate with his name on it, signed by the dean welcoming him to the undergraduate business school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did ASU welcome Holton, they offered him $54,000, or about half his tuition for four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holton was placed on the waitlist at UC Santa Cruz and eventually admitted. But that was not until the summer, long after he had accepted admission to ASU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to leave the state for college is one a growing number of California families are making. Since 2002, Arizona State University has seen an increase of more than 200 percent in California student enrollment. At Oregon State University, California freshmen made up 3 percent of the incoming class in 2002. By 2017, California freshmen made up nearly 14 percent of Oregon State’s new students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last available \u003ca href=\"https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d16/tables/dt16_309.20.asp?current=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Department of Education data\u003c/a>, from 2014, shows more than 36,000 California freshman enrolled at out-of-state schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those statistics trouble Lande Ajose, executive director of California Competes, an organization that advocates for higher education policies that increase access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are bright and talented students,” she said. “Those are students whose families are here in the state. Those are students who then may or may not return home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">California's Higher Education: From American Dream to Dilemma\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SatherGate-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Holton is glad he went to ASU. He likes his classes. He got a good internship. He has another two years of college to decide what he’ll do next, but the longer he stays in Arizona, the harder it gets to leave.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I just have the connections here,” he said. “This is where I am now. I'd call it my home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Californians like Holton don’t come back, analysts warn the state is headed for trouble. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC estimates\u003c/a> by 2030 nearly 40 percent of the jobs here will require at least a bachelor’s degree, and state universities just aren’t turning out nearly enough of them. The institute projects the state will be over 1 million workers with bachelor’s degrees short of economic demand by then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a focus on how we're going to move kids through,” Ajose said, “We're leaving industries at risk of not being able to find the talent that they need to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she pointed out it’s not just about the economy. Studies have shown college graduates are more likely to be engaged in civic activities like voting and volunteering. “It also matters for the kinds of communities we want to live in,” Ajose said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is work being done on campuses and at the state Legislature to address the bleak forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers mandated UC increase enrollment by 10,000 in-state students over three years, a target the system has already surpassed. \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/why-the-csu-matters/graduation-initiative-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSU’s Graduation Initiative 2025\u003c/a> aims to help students graduate on time, freeing up more space for new students, and there are signs it’s working: for 2016-17, 99,000 CSU undergrads earned degrees — almost 7,000 more than the year before, and a record high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts warn more will need to be done if California is going to live up to the promise of access that created one of the greatest higher education systems in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a significant increase in the enrollment and academic program capacity,” Douglass said, “Californians can’t expect to continue to have the access rates they have today, let alone yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11660142\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-800x219.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-160x44.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1020x280.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-1180x324.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-960x263.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-240x66.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-375x103.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner-520x143.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/04/CADreamBanner.jpg 1867w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\n",

He also liked the UC campuses in Davis, San Diego and Irvine, with their big green spaces where students studied in the sunshine. He was excited to turn in his applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know, my whole high school career kind of led up to this point, you know, getting the acceptance letters from Cal Poly, the UCs,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the letters started coming in it was bad news.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They just kept coming. It was like the same letter, San Diego, Davis, Irvine: We regret to inform you that we won't let you in.” Cal Poly didn’t let him in either. “No wait list,” Holton said, “It felt like I wasn't even close.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s become a common story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, the CSU system turned away more than 30,000 eligible students. In 2017, UC turned more than 10,000 eligible applicants away from their schools of choice, instead referring them to the only campus that has room to grow: UC Merced. And 124 of those students say they plan to enroll there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As California’s population grows, and increasing numbers of high school grads meet college eligibility requirements, ever more qualified CSU and UC applicants have to compete for limited space, according to experts at the Public Policy Institute of California, who say the problem is compounded by a long-term trend toward declining state investment. \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/higher-education-funding-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC data\u003c/a> shows in 1976–77, higher education spending made up 18 percent of the state budget, but by 2016–17 it had fallen to 12 percent of the budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California’s demographics have changed, its propensity for growth hasn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the main themes in California history is constant population growth,” said John Douglass, a research fellow at UC Berkeley’s Center for Studies in Higher Education and author of “The California Idea and American Higher Education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The difference now, he argues, is a lack of vision. The feat of California’s famed \u003ca href=\"https://www.ucop.edu/acadinit/mastplan/mpsummary.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1960 Master Plan for Higher Education\u003c/a> was not that it established an accessible high-quality college system -- that already existed -- but that it secured that promise for the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The great legacy of the Master Plan was an agreement about how the system should grow, what campuses should be developed, and what kind of money would be involved,” Douglass said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was supposed to be a plan through 1975, but the state hasn’t come up with an alternative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're living off of infrastructure and an investment by the state that's 50 years old,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11657228\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11657228\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/03/RS30020_Danny-homecoming-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Danny Holton says he was a good student in high school.

His college counselor had urged him to apply to a few out-of-state schools, and the news from outside California was better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I got my acceptance from ASU (Arizona State University), that was awesome,” Holton said. He even got a certificate with his name on it, signed by the dean welcoming him to the undergraduate business school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Not only did ASU welcome Holton, they offered him $54,000, or about half his tuition for four years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Holton was placed on the waitlist at UC Santa Cruz and eventually admitted. But that was not until the summer, long after he had accepted admission to ASU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to leave the state for college is one a growing number of California families are making. Since 2002, Arizona State University has seen an increase of more than 200 percent in California student enrollment. At Oregon State University, California freshmen made up 3 percent of the incoming class in 2002. By 2017, California freshmen made up nearly 14 percent of Oregon State’s new students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last available \u003ca href=\"https://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d16/tables/dt16_309.20.asp?current=yes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">U.S. Department of Education data\u003c/a>, from 2014, shows more than 36,000 California freshman enrolled at out-of-state schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those statistics trouble Lande Ajose, executive director of California Competes, an organization that advocates for higher education policies that increase access.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those are bright and talented students,” she said. “Those are students whose families are here in the state. Those are students who then may or may not return home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">California's Higher Education: From American Dream to Dilemma\u003c/a>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cfigure>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11625622/californias-higher-education-from-american-dream-to-dilemma\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/SatherGate-1038x576.jpg\" alt=\"\">\u003c/a>\u003c/figure>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Holton is glad he went to ASU.

I'd call it my home.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Californians like Holton don’t come back, analysts warn the state is headed for trouble. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">PPIC estimates\u003c/a> by 2030 nearly 40 percent of the jobs here will require at least a bachelor’s degree, and state universities just aren’t turning out nearly enough of them. The institute projects the state will be over 1 million workers with bachelor’s degrees short of economic demand by then.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a focus on how we're going to move kids through,” Ajose said, “We're leaving industries at risk of not being able to find the talent that they need to have.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And she pointed out it’s not just about the economy. Studies have shown college graduates are more likely to be engaged in civic activities like voting and volunteering. “It also matters for the kinds of communities we want to live in,” Ajose said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is work being done on campuses and at the state Legislature to address the bleak forecast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lawmakers mandated UC increase enrollment by 10,000 in-state students over three years, a target the system has already surpassed. \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/why-the-csu-matters/graduation-initiative-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CSU’s Graduation Initiative 2025\u003c/a> aims to help students graduate on time, freeing up more space for new students, and there are signs it’s working: for 2016-17, 99,000 CSU undergrads earned degrees — almost 7,000 more than the year before, and a record high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts warn more will need to be done if California is going to live up to the promise of access that created one of the greatest higher education systems in the world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without a significant increase in the enrollment and academic program capacity,” Douglass said, “Californians can’t expect to continue to have the access rates they have today, let alone yesterday.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/series/californiadream/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The California Dream series\u003c/a> is a statewide media collaboration of CALmatters, KPBS, KPCC, KQED and Capital Public Radio with support from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the James Irvine Foundation and the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The campaign for SB 320 began at UC Berkeley in 2016, when the student government passed a resolution urging the health center there to include medication for abortion in its services. \u003ccite>(Justin Sullivan/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The Oklahoma Legislature passed \u003ca href=\"http://webserver1.lsb.state.ok.us/cf_pdf/2013-14%20ENR/hB/HB2684%20ENR.PDF\">a bill\u003c/a> that was \u003ca href=\"http://www.oklegislature.gov/BillInfo.aspx?Bill=hb2684&Session=1400\">signed into law\u003c/a> in 2014 that set a strict protocol for the drugs involved in medication abortion. It was initially overturned in the state courts, then upheld and was overturned again in 2017. In Louisiana, a law requiring that all aborted tissue be buried or cremated — an impossible task in the case of medication abortion — is currently suspended \u003ca href=\"https://rewire.news/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/June-Med.-Servs.-v.-Gee-1st-Am-Complaint.pdf\">as the state court tries it\u003c/a>. And as of last fall, the Missouri health department \u003ca href=\"http://health.mo.gov/safety/abortion/pdf/sb5-memo.pdf\">requires\u003c/a> any facilities providing medication abortion to contract with an OB-GYN who can be on call around the clock to personally handle any complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the bill in California are unsure that public university health centers should provide medication for abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anna Arend, the Northern California regional coordinator for Students for Life of America, testified during the Senate education committee hearing on behalf of student groups across California that oppose the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These students have formed a coalition to oppose SB 320 due to the horrible realities of RU 486, the abortion by medication technique, and the dangers that it would bring to their campus. And the simple fact that abortion pills are not a factor in student success,\" \u003ca href=\"http://senate.ca.gov/media/senate-education-committee-20180110/video\">Arend says\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is alone in considering a measure like this, but the legislative push is in line with the state's previous policies, says Elizabeth Nash, a senior state issues analyst at the Guttmacher Institute. The state also requires all health insurers to provide abortion coverage and sets no waiting period for abortion procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Senate committees on health, education and appropriations have each approved the bill. Next, the bill will move to the Senate floor for a vote, which is expected by the end of January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for funding the abortion services, SB 320 doesn't specify the use of any state or university money. A private consortium that includes the Women's Foundation of California, Tara Health Foundation and a private donor has agreed to pay for implementation. The estimated cost is about $14 million, says Dr. Ruth Shaber, president of \u003ca href=\"https://tarahealthfoundation.org/about-us/\">Tara Health Foundation\u003c/a>. That figure \"includes the training, any type of new equipment that's necessary, and training in the processes, billing for the procedure, and making sure that the clinics are really prepared to implement the procedure and to offer the care well,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus health clinics currently provide reproductive health care, like testing for sexually transmitted diseases and contraceptives. The risk of complications from medication abortion is low. A University of California, San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://insights.ovid.com/pubmed?pmid=25560122\">study\u003c/a> of more than 50,000 abortions provided between 2009 and 2010 found that 0.31 percent of medicated abortions resulted in major complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the transition to providing the abortion procedure at campus health clinics may give some people pause. \"You can say, well, look at the percentages, but if they're happening to you, it's not a fun thing in medicine for you and your patient,\" says Dr. Richard Boucher, who directs student health services at California State University Fullerton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boucher also cited the issue of whether individual providers would feel comfortable administering the procedure, an issue that is in the spotlight now. On Jan. 18, the federal Department of Health and Human Services \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2018/01/18/hhs-ocr-announces-new-conscience-and-religious-freedom-division.html\">announced\u003c/a> the creation of a Conscience and Religious Freedom Division that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/18/578800250/hhs-to-protect-health-workers-with-religious-objections\">would offer protection\u003c/a> to medical providers who refuse to participate in certain services, like abortion, on religious or moral grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the California Senate votes in favor of the bill, it has a ways to go before becoming law. The legislation would have to be passed by the state Assembly and be signed by the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

It was initially overturned in the state courts, then upheld and was overturned again in 2017. In Louisiana, a law requiring that all aborted tissue be buried or cremated — an impossible task in the case of medication abortion — is currently suspended \u003ca href=\"https://rewire.news/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/June-Med.-Servs.-v.-Gee-1st-Am-Complaint.pdf\">as the state court tries it\u003c/a>. And as of last fall, the Missouri health department \u003ca href=\"http://health.mo.gov/safety/abortion/pdf/sb5-memo.pdf\">requires\u003c/a> any facilities providing medication abortion to contract with an OB-GYN who can be on call around the clock to personally handle any complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Opponents of the bill in California are unsure that public university health centers should provide medication for abortions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anna Arend, the Northern California regional coordinator for Students for Life of America, testified during the Senate education committee hearing on behalf of student groups across California that oppose the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"These students have formed a coalition to oppose SB 320 due to the horrible realities of RU 486, the abortion by medication technique, and the dangers that it would bring to their campus. And the simple fact that abortion pills are not a factor in student success,\" \u003ca href=\"http://senate.ca.gov/media/senate-education-committee-20180110/video\">Arend says\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California is alone in considering a measure like this, but the legislative push is in line with the state's previous policies, says Elizabeth Nash, a senior state issues analyst at the Guttmacher Institute. The state also requires all health insurers to provide abortion coverage and sets no waiting period for abortion procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Senate committees on health, education and appropriations have each approved the bill. Next, the bill will move to the Senate floor for a vote, which is expected by the end of January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for funding the abortion services, SB 320 doesn't specify the use of any state or university money. A private consortium that includes the Women's Foundation of California, Tara Health Foundation and a private donor has agreed to pay for implementation. The estimated cost is about $14 million, says Dr. Ruth Shaber, president of \u003ca href=\"https://tarahealthfoundation.org/about-us/\">Tara Health Foundation\u003c/a>. That figure \"includes the training, any type of new equipment that's necessary, and training in the processes, billing for the procedure, and making sure that the clinics are really prepared to implement the procedure and to offer the care well,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus health clinics currently provide reproductive health care, like testing for sexually transmitted diseases and contraceptives. The risk of complications from medication abortion is low. A University of California, San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://insights.ovid.com/pubmed?pmid=25560122\">study\u003c/a> of more than 50,000 abortions provided between 2009 and 2010 found that 0.31 percent of medicated abortions resulted in major complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the transition to providing the abortion procedure at campus health clinics may give some people pause. \"You can say, well, look at the percentages, but if they're happening to you, it's not a fun thing in medicine for you and your patient,\" says Dr. Richard Boucher, who directs student health services at California State University Fullerton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boucher also cited the issue of whether individual providers would feel comfortable administering the procedure, an issue that is in the spotlight now. On Jan. 18, the federal Department of Health and Human Services \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2018/01/18/hhs-ocr-announces-new-conscience-and-religious-freedom-division.html\">announced\u003c/a> the creation of a Conscience and Religious Freedom Division that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/18/578800250/hhs-to-protect-health-workers-with-religious-objections\">would offer protection\u003c/a> to medical providers who refuse to participate in certain services, like abortion, on religious or moral grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the California Senate votes in favor of the bill, it has a ways to go before becoming law. The legislation would have to be passed by the state Assembly and be signed by the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>For the Golden State of California, 1960 was a golden year: It was a time of rapid development, when the state chose to use its tax revenues to fund magnificent freeways and other infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of this massive development was a system of \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.2307/25157701\">public higher education\u003c/a> -- a model that put California center stage in the American imagination.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From my perspective as a social historian who started high school in Southern California in 1961 and then entered graduate school at the University of California Berkeley in 1969, the story of higher education in California over the past 60 years has been a fantastic voyage -- albeit with detours and delays.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Start of the Dream\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California’s higher education prospects of 1960 were built on a distinctive historical foundation. The idea that the state's colleges and universities could -- and should -- be the \u003ca href=\"http://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=339\">source\u003c/a> of an informed, responsible citizenry and state leadership had been established by legislators and voters by World War I.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robert Gordon Sproul, president of the University of California, who served from 1930 to 1958, built on this early vision. He set up \u003ca href=\"http://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=339\">six campuses statewide\u003c/a> as part of a creation of a multi-campus system to meet California’s growing demand for higher education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"Q0Si8PcyxgEwVaLmJZcISBqzkWGZnokJ\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After World War II, as returning veterans headed back to school the demand continued to grow: \u003ca href=\"http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/uchistory/archives_exhibits/masterplan/MasterPlan1960.pdf\">Enrollments in universities increased by as much as 50 percent\u003c/a>. At the same time, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/uchistory/archives_exhibits/masterplan/MasterPlan1960.pdf\">number of high school graduates\u003c/a> went up as well. The number of campuses needed to be further increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rapid growth in potential students coinciding with the crazy quilt of a large number of public and private institutions led to \u003ca href=\"http://www.sup.org/books/title/?id=339\">turf wars\u003c/a>. The foremost problem was a contentious rivalry between the University of California system and other state-funded higher education institutions. Both were \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601017,00.html\">in competition\u003c/a> for funding and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Dream Years\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When Clark Kerr was named president of the University of California system in 1958, he sought to end the chaos of the \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601017,00.html\">statewide academic \"guerrilla warfare.\"\u003c/a> Kerr was an economist who had served for seven years as chancellor of the university’s flagship campus at Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With Kerr’s efforts higher education became part of the California dream. In 1960 the Legislature passed the Donahoe Act. This legislation included a 246-page report, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/uchistory/archives_exhibits/masterplan/MasterPlan1960.pdf\">“A Master Plan for Higher Education in California, 1960-1975.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To reduce chaos, missions were clearly defined for each institutional segment: University of California was to admit the top 12.5 percent of high school graduates, and the California State University and Colleges would draw from the top 33 percent of remaining high school graduates. The others could enroll in junior colleges, later renamed “community colleges.” These junior colleges provided associate degree programs, and their graduates could apply for transfer to the four-year colleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11627270\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11627270\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime.jpg\" alt=\"Clark Kerr on the cover of TIME magazine on Oct. 17, 1960.\" width=\"400\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime-160x211.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime-240x316.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime-375x494.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clark Kerr on the cover of TIME magazine on Oct. 17, 1960. \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601017,00.html\">TIME\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The plan gained national attention. On Oct. 17, 1960, TIME magazine featured Clark Kerr on its cover as the \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601017,00.html\">“Master Planner.”\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A distinctive feature of the California master plan was that the state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.aiccu.edu/about/\">private colleges and universities (also known as “independent colleges and universities”)\u003c/a> too were included in this public policy, the rationale being that distinguished private colleges and universities such as Stanford, University of Southern California, California Institute of Technology and Claremont Colleges were a unique resource to the state. Their alumni, as skilled professionals and leaders, contributed to the state’s development. These institutions were also major employers within their counties and communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Affordable and a Place of Excellence\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>What is particularly important to note is that the California dream of higher education combined access to higher education with affordability and choice. Until then, the City University of New York (CUNY) had been the only major public higher education system that had a tradition of not charging tuition. But the New York policy for its CUNY segment did not apply to New York’s other public institutions, such as the State University of New York (SUNY).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast, the new California policy of no tuition was extended to all public colleges and universities statewide. Furthermore, the master plan promoted \u003ca href=\"http://www.csac.ca.gov/doc.asp?id=128\">state-funded student scholarships\u003c/a> through a state agency created in 1955, the California Student Aid Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California came to provide a high quality of education -- the best in the country. A 1966 report by the American Council on Education (based on data collected in 1964) shows that University of California, Berkeley was the \u003ca href=\"https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED016621\">top university at the time in America\u003c/a> for overall quality in graduate education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excellence was encouraged and nurtured. Between 1939 and 1968, 12 professors at UC Berkeley had received the Nobel Prize, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeley.edu/news/features/nobel/\">highest number\u003c/a> at any university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources were made available for the realization of the dream. As part of passing the Donahoe Act in 1960, the California state government \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601017,00.html\">approved $1 billion\u003c/a> (equivalent to about $10 billion in 2017) in funding for higher education facilities. Central to its growth was an expansion of campuses. Between 1964 and 1965 the University of California \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.2307/25157701\">built three new campuses\u003c/a> -- at San Diego, Irvine and Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625627\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625627\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-800x623.jpg\" alt=\"Large buildings on UC Irvine campus, 1966\" width=\"800\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-800x623.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-160x125.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-1020x794.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-960x747.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-240x187.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-375x292.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-520x405.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">University of California, Irvine, 1966. \u003ccite>(\u003ca class=\"source\" href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/ocarchives/2868164141/\">Orange County Archives\u003c/a>, \u003ca class=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\">CC BY\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Inflation, Tuition, Loans\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By 1967, however, the master plan was encountering problems – it was expensive and increasingly seemed not sustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addressing citizen groups, state Senator George Deukmejian voiced Republican concerns about higher education. According to a front-page story in The Whittier Daily News on October 14, 1967, Deukmejian argued in favor of adding a tuition charge for University of California students and endorsed \u003ca href=\"http://www.newfoundations.com/Clabaugh/CuttingEdge/Reagan.html\">Governor Ronald Reagan’s new “equal education plan.”\u003c/a> The plan called for a modest tuition of $250 per year (worth approximately $2,500 today) for the university and $80 per year in the state colleges (equivalent to $800 per year today).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican reform plan included grants or loans to those who could not afford the modest tuition. He noted that half of the enrolled students came from relatively affluent families.

The reasons are many.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The percentage of Californians seeking to go to college gradually increased, and so did the overall number of high school graduates. Consequently, the expansion in college enrollments over a little more than a half-century was incredibly large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1960, for example, the total enrollment for all institutions in the state was 234,000. By 2015 University of California enrolled 253,000 students at 10 campuses, California State University enrolled 395,000 students at 16 campuses and the community colleges enrolled 1,138,000 at 113 campuses. This was a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/handouts/education/2017/Overview_of_Higher_Education_in_California_083117.pdf\">sevenfold enrollment increase\u003c/a> since 1960 – the most among all states in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast to 1960, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/handouts/education/2017/Overview_of_Higher_Education_in_California_083117.pdf\">student fees and tuition increased\u003c/a> while state general fund subsidies per student tapered.

The foremost problem was a contentious rivalry between the University of California system and other state-funded higher education institutions.

The others could enroll in junior colleges, later renamed “community colleges.” These junior colleges provided associate degree programs, and their graduates could apply for transfer to the four-year colleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11627270\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-11627270\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime.jpg\" alt=\"Clark Kerr on the cover of TIME magazine on Oct. 17, 1960.\" width=\"400\" height=\"527\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime-160x211.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime-240x316.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/11/ClarkKerrTime-375x494.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Clark Kerr on the cover of TIME magazine on Oct. 17, 1960. \u003ccite>(\u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601017,00.html\">TIME\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The plan gained national attention.

But the New York policy for its CUNY segment did not apply to New York’s other public institutions, such as the State University of New York (SUNY).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast, the new California policy of no tuition was extended to all public colleges and universities statewide. Furthermore, the master plan promoted \u003ca href=\"http://www.csac.ca.gov/doc.asp?id=128\">state-funded student scholarships\u003c/a> through a state agency created in 1955, the California Student Aid Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California came to provide a high quality of education -- the best in the country. A 1966 report by the American Council on Education (based on data collected in 1964) shows that University of California, Berkeley was the \u003ca href=\"https://eric.ed.gov/?id=ED016621\">top university at the time in America\u003c/a> for overall quality in graduate education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Excellence was encouraged and nurtured. Between 1939 and 1968, 12 professors at UC Berkeley had received the Nobel Prize, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.berkeley.edu/news/features/nobel/\">highest number\u003c/a> at any university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Resources were made available for the realization of the dream. As part of passing the Donahoe Act in 1960, the California state government \u003ca href=\"http://content.time.com/time/covers/0,16641,19601017,00.html\">approved $1 billion\u003c/a> (equivalent to about $10 billion in 2017) in funding for higher education facilities. Central to its growth was an expansion of campuses. Between 1964 and 1965 the University of California \u003ca href=\"https://doi.org/10.2307/25157701\">built three new campuses\u003c/a> -- at San Diego, Irvine and Santa Cruz.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11625627\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11625627\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-800x623.jpg\" alt=\"Large buildings on UC Irvine campus, 1966\" width=\"800\" height=\"623\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-800x623.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-160x125.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-1020x794.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-960x747.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-240x187.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-375x292.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz-520x405.jpg 520w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2017/10/education-irvine-file-20171012-31408-1fra4yz.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">University of California, Irvine, 1966. \u003ccite>(\u003ca class=\"source\" href=\"https://www.flickr.com/photos/ocarchives/2868164141/\">Orange County Archives\u003c/a>, \u003ca class=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\">CC BY\u003c/a>)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Inflation, Tuition, Loans\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By 1967, however, the master plan was encountering problems – it was expensive and increasingly seemed not sustainable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addressing citizen groups, state Senator George Deukmejian voiced Republican concerns about higher education. According to a front-page story in The Whittier Daily News on October 14, 1967, Deukmejian argued in favor of adding a tuition charge for University of California students and endorsed \u003ca href=\"http://www.newfoundations.com/Clabaugh/CuttingEdge/Reagan.html\">Governor Ronald Reagan’s new “equal education plan.”\u003c/a> The plan called for a modest tuition of $250 per year (worth approximately $2,500 today) for the university and $80 per year in the state colleges (equivalent to $800 per year today).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Republican reform plan included grants or loans to those who could not afford the modest tuition. He noted that half of the enrolled students came from relatively affluent families. Only about 12 percent came from modest-income families earning $6,000 year or less (about $60,000 today).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Deukmejian took office as governor in 1983, he \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/1982/12/28/science/california-weighs-end-of-free-college-education.html\">continued\u003c/a> to impose tuition charges on students at the University of California and other state colleges.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The Realities Today\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Today, California’s higher education system struggles with budget cuts and an uncertain future. The reasons are many.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The percentage of Californians seeking to go to college gradually increased, and so did the overall number of high school graduates. Consequently, the expansion in college enrollments over a little more than a half-century was incredibly large.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1960, for example, the total enrollment for all institutions in the state was 234,000. By 2015 University of California enrolled 253,000 students at 10 campuses, California State University enrolled 395,000 students at 16 campuses and the community colleges enrolled 1,138,000 at 113 campuses. This was a \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/handouts/education/2017/Overview_of_Higher_Education_in_California_083117.pdf\">sevenfold enrollment increase\u003c/a> since 1960 – the most among all states in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In contrast to 1960, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/handouts/education/2017/Overview_of_Higher_Education_in_California_083117.pdf\">student fees and tuition increased\u003c/a> while state general fund subsidies per student tapered. In 2015, tuition charges at UC were $12,240, a tenfold increase over 1960.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the past four decades, California’s public colleges and universities have \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/wp-content/uploads/r_0917hj3r.pdf\">endured lean budgets\u003c/a>.
