"As a result, for the last two decades we have been starving higher education. California's public universities and community colleges have half as much to spend today as they did in 1990 in real dollars. In the 1980s, 17% of the state budget went to higher education and 3% went to prisons. Today, only 9% goes to universities and 10% goes to prisons.
"The promise of low-cost education that brought so many here, and kept so many here, has been abandoned."
Jeff Bleich in the Los Angeles Times laments the state of California's public education system.
