Newsom's higher education budget would boost aid, freeze tuition and repair campuses - LARRY GORDON AND MIKHAIL ZINSHTEYN, EdSource

Newsom’s plan for the state’s higher education systems reflects his goals “to increase access to higher education, improve student success and timely degree completion and to better ensure that college remains affordable,” the budget document said. Newsom’s overall $209 billion state budget plan was unveiled Thursday in Sacramento. “This marks the single largest proposed investment by any governor in the history of the university and we are extremely appreciative of Governor Newsom’s bold investment in us,” CSU Chancellor Timothy P. White said in a statement. https://edsource.org/2019/newsoms-higher-education-budget-would-boost-aid-freeze-tuition-and-repair-campuses/606971
