Designed for: Adults (18+)

From rising tuition costs to public concern over sexual assaults on college campuses, higher education faces a growing number of issues as 2015 begins.

The University of California, with 10 campuses across the state, is no exception. The system is currently grappling with proposed tuition hikes, student protests and a statewide drop in funding.

Join Janet Napolitano and Mark Yudof as they discuss the challenges currently facing America’s higher education system and, in particular, the University of California.

Featuring: Janet Napolitano, President, University of California, Former Secretary of Homeland Security, Former Governor of Arizona and Mark Yudof, President Emeritus, University of California and Former Chancellor of the University of Texas System.
