																											<p><em>This story comes courtesy of <a href="http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/csu-also-exploring-two-tiered-pricing-plan-15668" target="_hplink">California Watch</a>.</em></p>

<p><a href="http://californiawatch.org/user/erica-perez" target="_hplink"><strong>By Erica Perez</strong></a></p>

<p>All eyes are on Santa Monica College, where a controversial plan to offer a tier of higher-priced courses has been met with pepper-spray-tainted protests and legal questions.</p>

<p>Less noticeably, California State University officials have been mulling their own brand of higher-priced classes. In 2010, officials began exploring whether they could offer more remediation classes and high-demand "bottleneck" classes through Extended Education – a self-supporting program that provides online and face-to-face CSU classes to students without the university admissions process.</p>

<p>Because it operates without state subsidies, Extended Education offers classes that are pricier than the standard CSU fare, and students can't use Cal Grants or CSU State University Grants to help pay for them.</p>

<p>Prices for Extended Education classes vary. But in 2009-10, the average annual tuition for an Extended Education undergraduate degree completion program was $7,290 – about 51 percent higher than the $4,827 average annual tuition at CSU at that time, according to a CSU report [PDF].</p>

<p>In their 2010 presentation to the CSU Board of Trustees, Executive Vice Chancellor Ephraim Smith and State University Dean of Extended Education Sheila Thomas said that by offering English and math remediation, bottleneck courses, and other classes through Extended Education, CSU could meet its academic mission while "freeing up resources on the state support side that could be re-deployed to critical areas."</p>

	<div id="ad_mid_article" class="ad_wrapper"><script type="text/javascript">
document.referrer&&document.referrer.match("aol.com")?HPAds.adSonar(1517131,2259768,300,250):HPAds.adSonar(1523709,2259768,300,250);
</script></div><p>As for the higher cost of the offerings, the report described Extended Education prices as affordable when compared with the classes offered by a comparison group of for-profit colleges, which had an average annual tuition of $13,082 in 2009-10.</p>

<p>"For many students, it is the access to these programs – both at the CSU and at private or for-profit institutions – that can outweigh the higher cost," the report said. "In these challenging fiscal times it is critical to review potential avenues of expansion for Extended Education to meet the needs of CSU students and working professionals."</p>

<p>The idea has similar characteristics to the proposal at Santa Monica College, where the board of trustees this week approved a plan to offer a set of high-demand classes such as English and math at about $200 per unit, rather than the standard community college price of $36 per unit. The idea is that students who find themselves shut out of the limited state-subsidized classes have the option of paying a premium for a spot.</p>

<p>Santa Monica College has seen a backlash. Students protested this week, and some were injured after a campus police officer discharged pepper spray. California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott has questioned the legality of the college's plan and has asked trustees to put it on hold, the Los Angeles Times reports.</p>

<p>At CSU, where the university has seen a steady decrease in state revenue and has had to cut thousands of courses and reduce faculty and staff, students already have turned increasingly to Extended Education for the higher-priced classes, data shows.</p>

<p>From fall 2006 to fall 2010, the number of CSU students who were enrolled in Extended Education classes grew from 0.6 percent of the student population to 1 percent.</p>

<p>At some campuses, the programs are more widely used. About 11 percent of CSU Dominguez Hills students took Extended Education courses in fall 2010. The campus' Open University [PDF] catalog of Extended Education courses includes hundreds of classes, from accounting to women's studies.</p>

<p>The California Faculty Association has criticized CSU officials' move toward expanding Extended Education, describing it as a "for-profitization" of the university.</p>

<p>"The price of doing that is to profoundly change the mission of these institutions, to have them begin to resemble more and more for-profit entities, where money talks and if you have the money, you’re in," said Susan Meisenhelder, professor emeritus of English at CSU San Bernardino and former president of the faculty association.</p>

<p>In the fall 2010 report, CSU officials observed that in order to expand Extended Education on a large scale – particularly online – they would need to amend collective bargaining agreements, executive orders and potentially state Education Code.</p>

<p>Faculty association representatives, now in the midst of negotiating their contract with CSU, said the university recently has proposed taking away certain pay guarantees for faculty members who teach Extended Education courses – a signal, they say, that the university is clearing the way to expand the program.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, CSU recently posted a request for proposals for Cal State Online, seeking firms that provide online education to help roll out an increased assortment of online classes. Those courses are planned to be offered through Extended Education, said CSU spokesman Mike Uhlenkamp.</p>

<p>Although a May 2011 report [PDF] by consulting firm Richard N. Katz & Associates Inc. said bottleneck courses could be good candidates for the Cal State Online initiative, an open letter [PDF] from Ruth Claire Black, executive director of the Cal State Online Board, said the initiative will start with the roughly 60 online self-support programs that currently exist in the CSU system. Most of those are aimed at working professionals or unemployed adults.</p>

<p>Uhlenkamp said nothing has been decided as far as expanding Extended Education to add more bottleneck and remedial courses.</p>

<p>"There haven’t been decisions made," he said. "We need to review what we currently do and review the climate that we’re in."</p>

<p>That hasn't stopped the faculty union from trying to head off future moves. Assemblywoman Betsy Butler, D-El Segundo, introduced a bill sponsored by the California Faculty Association that would allow CSU students who take Extended Education courses for credit toward a degree to pay no more than the fees charged for any other academic term.</p>

				It was surprising when the Santa Monica story came out -- surprising because there wasn't the realization that two-tier pricing existed de facto in the CSU already. For some high demand courses in the CSU, students either have to pay extra to get into extra sessions of the courses through Extended Ed, or have to register for unneeded additional semesters to wait until the courses come open during the regular school year. To add insult to fiscal injury, the second option (taking unneeded additional semesters) results in students taking more courses than they need so that they can qualify for financial aid, thus further reducing access to needed courses for other students and pushing more into taking Extended Ed courses. It's no wonder that we have a national student-debt crisis looming!			</div>

				California had the nation's best school system from k through graduate school. There were City Colleges, State Colleges (CSU), University of California all of which were affordable, accessible and offered excellent education. The demise of our state's educational system started with Proposition 13. Californians have paid more as a result of 13 in deferred education, reduced access, fewer students wil advanced degrees. It was a short-term tax giveaway with long term detrimental effects.			</div>

				CSU has been going to this two tier system for some time, making the summer session all extension classes which are at a much much higher price per unit and at times only offering certain classes at this additional cost to students.  What ever happened to the notion of affordable public education.  We are turning into a society that is making education a commodity and not a social right.			</div>

				Fiscal efficiency at CSU and UC lower tuition costs for instate students. UC Chancellor Birgeneau is outspoken on why elite public universities should charge more.  With the leadership of Chancellor Birgeneau UC Berkeley is (on an all-in-cost) more expensive than private Harvard and Yale. UC Berkeley is the most expensive public higher education in our country. World ranking of prestigious universities has Harvard #1, Cal # 5. <br />
<br />
Birgeneau would like to blame the politicians, since they stopped giving him every dollar asked for. Chancellor Birgeneau’s leadership skyrocketed fees by an average 14% per year from 2006 to 2011-12 academic year. If Birgeneau had allowed fees to rise at the same rate of inflation over the past 10 years they would still be in reach of most middle income students with the help of affordable student loans. Increasing Cal’s funding is not the solution.<br />
<br />
UC Berkeley is a public university with a mission of diversity and equality of opportunity. Unfortunately Birgeneau diminishes the principles which underlie our state and our country: equality and inclusion on every level. Birgeneau’s leadership denies middle income Californians the transformative value of higher education. <br />
<br />
Birgeneau’s tenure as Chancellor is a sad unacceptable legacy. University of California Berkeley is now father and farther out of reach for the sons and daughters of Californians.			</div>

				Butler's bill is a good one.  In addition to expanding courses in extended education, they want to pay faculty less and increase workload.  It used to be that extended ed classes were small and intensive, but now they are getting bigger and therefor less attention is given to students--the future the management wants will degrade quality education by increasing workload. The students pay more, but get less.  Doesn't sound fair, doesn't seem worth it, and should be resisted.  Props to the students at Santa Monica!			</div>

				Makes me wonder if you believe that only the rich should be able to go to college.  Life is not fair but we can fight for it to be fair.
