Editorial endorses Proposition 3 for higher education panel
In April a state commission for coordinating California higher education was created. Proposition 3 would exempt the director and top deputies from civil service, a change defended by all 23 commissioners as balancing expertise. Opponents fear political appointments, but the commission structure aims to prevent domination by any party or group, justifying a Yes vote.

Proposition 4 on UC Regents changes and term lengths
The editorial urges a Yes vote on Proposition 4, which changes the UC Board of Regents by shortening gubernatorial terms from 16 to 12 years and adding two regents. It creates an advisory, politically charged committee on representation, but emphasizes existing political influence via the governor, lieutenant governor, and Assembly speaker. The measure adds a faculty and student seat and broadens alumni representation. The paper supports passage despite reservations about advisory group overreach.
