California panel Seeks More Colleges and Rethinks Oversight
A Legislature backed committee favors adding state colleges and university campuses while delaying a plan to unify administration. It proposes 22 new junior colleges in five years, three new university campuses in San Mateo, southeast Los Angeles, and La Jolla, and two new state colleges near Los Angeles International Airport and the San Bernardino Riverside area. Admissions would be restricted to the top 12 percent to the university and top 34 to state colleges with two years at junior colleges before transfer.
