<italic>Purpose and importance of the study</italic>. California's public higher education system is at once a profound and yet obvious reflection of American ideology. The public's faith in promised educational opportunity has been evidenced by the extraordinary public investment in institutions that has been the fuel for capacity building in California higher education for more than a century.

520 $a <italic>Purpose and importance of the study</italic>. California's public higher education system is at once a profound and yet obvious reflection of American ideology. The public's faith in promised educational opportunity has been evidenced by the extraordinary public investment in institutions that has been the fuel for capacity building in California higher education for more than a century.
520 $a The purpose of this research was to investigate California's commitment to broad access to public higher education and to analyze the extent to which this promise has been kept, broken, or modified over the last forty years. This study focused on ways in which access and economic conditions inter-relate and searched for deeper connections between theories of how educational policy is developed, maintained, and changed over time as reflected in the research question: <italic>What insights can be obtained from a comprehensive and comparative analysis of the history, evolution, and present status of California's open access higher education system to inform educational policy and practice in the 21<super>st</super> century</italic>?
520 $a <italic>Findings and recommendations</italic>. Tracking a variety of economic and educational indicators over the past several decades yielded mixed results, including some improvements. However, among the most troubling findings are the following: (1) The fastest growing and soon to be largest segment of California's population, Latinos, are doing worse today on a variety of higher education indicators than ten years ago. (2) System infrastructure is under-funded and deteriorating in all segments. (3) An outmoded tax structure is unable to produce the revenue required to enable the next generation of students to enter and succeed in college. (4) Numerical increases in student outcomes mask proportional decreases for specific groups in key higher education indicators.
520 $a The system was found to have tremendous assets and potential but to be in grave danger of deteriorating to the point that it is unable to assure either adequate access or excellence for its current or future students. Recommendations for action are detailed at the conclusion.
