SACRAMENTO – Assemblymember Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto) has been appointed by Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon (D-Paramount) to Chair the Select Committee on the Master Plan for Higher Education in California.
I am honored that Speaker Rendon has appointed me to Chair the newly established Select Committee on the Master Plan for Higher Education in California,” said Assemblymember Berman. “Nearly sixty years ago, our state developed a visionary plan for the future of higher education, known as the Master Plan. However, much has changed in California during the ensuing decades – population growth, increased diversity, a change in leading industries and their need for talent, as well as in the field of education itself. My goal for the Select Committee is to hold hearings throughout the state to conduct a thorough legislative review to ensure that we have a Master Plan for the next 60 years, and to again promise California’s students who work hard and achieve in high school an accessible, affordable, high quality education.
Assemblymember Marc Berman represents the 24th Assembly District, which includes southern San Mateo County and northern Santa Clara County in the heart of Silicon Valley. Website of Assemblymember Marc Berman: https://a23.asmdc.org
