With California's higher education collapsing, students are forced to consider other options
California community college students are no strangers to the state’s budget deficit and its affects to their education. Currently, California ranks 47th in the nation for quality education, a ranking that could fall even lower with continued cuts to funding.
As California college students look for other options, more students are considering the out-of-state transfer option. Out-of-state universities, be they public or private, can offer students access to quality education, a potentially lower cost of living, and relatively similar tuition fees.
With all 563 votes counted, the ARC Students for Change ticket swept the ARC Associated Student Body (ASB) Spring, 2010, General Election which was held April 20-21.
With an enrollment of nearly 40,000 students, 563 may seem like a low number, but according to Shaine Johnson, who received 454 “yes” votes for the position of president, this year’s voter turnout is “double that of standard general elections.”
