Very interesting articles. I think that administrators are looking into every alternative to find money and there is a general recognition that the the State of CA can no longer afford to provide higher education in the same way as the past. I think that Mr. Koob was thinking out loud against his better judgement.

For me as a parent, I do not look forward to increases in tuition. As a businessman, I’d like to see the school getting more corporate money and support. Bringing industry in will bring in more internships, jobs and a closer relationship with the real world. Will it affect independence? Absolutely it will. But which is worse? Bankruptcy or general decline or a brighter future with more jobs, money , support, etc…
