Resolution 13.04, "A Document in Support of an Academic Culture," adopted at the Fall 2007 plenary session, asked the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges (Academic Senate) to "create a document that sets out the basic elements of a higher education institution, particularly within California's community college system." Addressing this resolution prompts a wider reflection on the role of educational institutions within their historical and social contexts. Describing the elements of a higher education institution also prompts a discussion of similarities and differences between California's community colleges and K-12 institutions on the one hand, and California's public baccalaureate-granting entities on the other. While this paper makes no new recommendations, it makes explicit the assumptions that underlie a range of existing Academic Senate positions, resolutions, and recommendations in a broader context than has sometimes been the case. This broader context is especially relevant given the ongoing need of modern societies for an educated and highly skilled citizenry in spite of boom and bust economic cycles incapable of supporting all levels of education consistently. The issues addressed in this paper are also relevant to ongoing debates about "standards-based" and "outcomes-based" education and the fear that calls for accountability and external oversight of higher education suggest an ultimate goal of standardizing higher education curriculum and its delivery. Appended are: (1) Seven Selected Academic Senate Papers; and (2) Selected Political Landmarks. (Contains 19 footnotes.).

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program for monographs. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. The Dream Is Over tells the extraordinary story of the 1960 Master Plan for Higher Education in California, created by visionary University of California President Clark Kerr and his contemporaries. The Master Plan’s equality of opportunity policy brought college within reach of millions of American families for the first time and fashioned the world’s leading system of public research universities. The California idea became the leading model for higher education across the world and has had great influence in the rapid growth of universities in China and East Asia. Yet, remarkably, the political conditions supporting the California idea in California itself have evaporated. Universal access is faltering, public tuition is rising, the great research universities face new challenges, and educational participation in California, once the national leader, lags far behind. Can the social values embodied in Kerr’s vision be renewed?

This is the first comprehensive history of California's pioneering effort to create an expansive and high-quality system of public higher education. Throughout this century, states established public colleges and universities at a dizzying pace, funding enrollment expansion to fit their perceived economic and social needs, and launching a truly dramatic experiment in social engineering. The result was a transformation of the scope and purpose of American higher education, and leading the way was California, with its internationally renowned network of public colleges and universities.
