"Enter the state's community colleges. This 110-school system charges far lower tuition and fees than the four-year schools, offers basic classes that are good enough so that UC and CSU schools let transfer students enjoy full credit for them and features a host of faculty members at least as qualified as many at the more prestigious campuses.
But community colleges award only associate of arts or science degrees, which can be obtained in as little as two years. Among public campuses, only the universities now can give bachelor's degrees and more.

But things ought to change, now that they've begun to refuse admission to many thousands of students who deserve it, based on their high school performance and test scores. That's mostly because of lean times, which see increased class sizes and decreased course offerings at every level of education."
Allow community colleges to educate students in preparation for life.This can be done by either academic degrees or vocational degrees.
Want "great" universities for the arts or sports? UCLA or Cal could be great--but the students pays the extra costs, not the taxpayers. Let the NFL and the NBA pay for the athletic programs,not the taxpayers.
Colleges are for education and degrees--if you want fluff--pay for it yourself.
