Today
Reclaim California Higher Education released its highly anticipated proposal to save the California Master Plan and with it affordable and public minded higher education:
The $48 Fix.
The 48 Dollar Fix demonstrates the dramatic effects that California's foolish turn to privatization has had both on the affordability and quality of the state's higher education system and details the practicality of funding all three segments at the level of 2001 state support. As the title makes clear, if this effort was done through an income tax surcharge it would add just $48 dollars a year to the income tax of the median personal income taxpayer . The report also discusses other funding options so that the burdens would not be borne solely be personal income taxes. But the bottom line is that a refunding of the state's higher education system is practical and would enable the three segments to better serve their students and the state at large. It is worth reading and sharing.
