Continuing his commitment to strengthen California\u2019s systems of higher education and partner with its leaders, Governor Gavin Newsom announced today the formation of the Governor\u2019s Council for Post-Secondary Education. The Council will serve as an independent consultative resource to the Governor around the economic and social impact of higher education in the state. They will examine issues relating to future capacity, enrollment planning, community college transfers, general education and coordination at the state and regional levels, and make recommendations to the Governor for action. In addition to this Council, the Governor has convened \u2013 and will continue to engage \u2013 higher education advocates and stakeholders to advise him on issues relating to student access, affordability and success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe university and community college systems in the state operate in silos,\u201d said Governor Newsom. \u201cTo develop best practices and help our students reach their full potential, we need to work together across institutions. I look forward to working with our state\u2019s higher education leaders to set bold statewide goals and partnering together to achieve them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
