Gov. Brown proposes California's first fully online public community college - Teresa Watanabe, San Diego Union-Tribune

Gov. Jerry Brown wants California to launch its first fully online public community college to help 2.5 million young adults without college credentials gain skills for better jobs and greater economic mobility. In the 2018-19 budget plan he unveiled Wednesday, Brown proposed spending $120 million to open such a college by fall 2019, with a focus on short-term credential programs for careers in fields including advanced manufacturing, healthcare and child development. The governor is a longtime advocate of online learning, which he sees as more cost effective than traditional education. http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/la-me-online-community-college-20170110-story.html
