UC, CSU leaders still backing online courses, governor says It’s not normal for a governor to veto his own idea, but that’s what Gov. Jerry Brown did last week when he blue-penciled a $20 million earmark for online education at the University of California and California State University. Monday, he said university leaders assured him they would pursue online courses on their own. “I had an agreement from both the segments that they would carry out online vigorously,” Brown told reporters at an event in Sacramento. “As the leader of both governing boards, I’m actively engaged with both the University of California and the Cal State.” Brown left the $20 million in funding for the systems intact, but without tying it to online education. He said he is “completely confident” the UC and CSU systems will expand their online course offerings without a budget requirement.
