California’s system of higher education needs to be sustainable as well as academically rigorous. The University of California’s new systemwide online course offerings are a promising step toward that goal, but progress should not stop there. The state’s higher education systems need to pursue other such reforms that can help provide a strong education without draining public coffers or private pocketbooks. The University of California system is set to unveil its Cross-Campus Enrollment system this academic year, offering students access to an assortment of online courses from across the 10-campus UC system. Many UC campuses already have online courses available to their own students, but the new program would make such classes available to students at other UC schools.
