UC Panel Outlines Drastic Reforms - The Huffington Post
The University of California Commission on the Future met today to discuss a host of major changes to the school system, including substantial student fee hikes and three-year bachelor's degree option. According to the Daily Californian: Recommendations from the group include the implementation of online courses in order to increase student access to courses, decrease the time necessary to acquire a degree and reduce the costs of education to both students and the state. The report recommends "the pursuit of the pilot project being coordinated by the Office of the President which ... will develop and deliver up to 40 online undergraduate courses, evaluating their quality, learning effectiveness, workload impacts (and) costs."
