Will CSU's motto someday be: 'I am a Phoenix'? - William Tierney, Sacramento Bee
It's March 2011. California's next governor calls a morning news conference to make a stunning announcement: The Apollo Group's University of Phoenix will pay $2.3 billion to buy the California State University system. "The previous administration left us with few alternatives," explains the new governor, who won election on a campaign pledge to end California's chronic imbalance between what it takes in and what it spends. "Selling state parks nets a few hundred million dollars," he continues, "but transferring ownership of CSU to Phoenix will permanently save us billions. And Phoenix says it will increase enrollments."
