UC Commission on the Future
How can the University of California best serve the state in the years ahead and maintain access, quality and affordability in a time of diminishing resources?
The UC Commission on the Future will address that question and others as it develops a vision for the future of the state’s public research university – one that reaffirms UC's role in sustaining California's economic and cultural vitality, while recognizing that limited state funding will require creativity and new strategies to meet that mission.
The Commission and its five working groups – on the size and shape of UC, its education and curriculum, access and affordability, and funding and research strategies – will meet through March to consider, among other issues:
- What is the right size and shape of the University going forward? Where should it grow, or should it?
- What educational delivery models will both maintain quality and improve efficiency for UC's future?
- How can UC maximize traditional and alternative revenue streams in support of its mission?
Commissioners will draw on expertise both inside and outside of the University. Ideas and feedback through this site are welcome as the discussion progresses.
