California's public colleges and universities have been confronted by an unprecedented challenge over the past three years: a $1.4 billion loss in State support. No amount of planning or identification of potential efficiencies on the part of these institutions could have compensated for that loss, and -- as a consequence -- a variety of institutional operations have suffered.

In this report, Warren Halsey Fox -- the California Postsecondary Education Commission's executive director -- briefly identifies the State's fiscal situation that produced this challenge for higher education and then discusses the current impact and future implications of the challenge on students -- both current and prospective -- in terms of access, affordability, educational equity, academic programs, and educational quality. He then points to four responsibilities of the State's political leaders, and five of public college and university policy-makers, for restabilizing higher education in order to continue serving the State's economy and its citizens.

Dr. Fox discussed this report with the Commission at its meeting on December 6, 1993.
