(February 20, 1911-April 4, 1960) Author of Assembly Concurrent Resolution NO. 88, vigorous supporter of the Master Plan for Higher Education in California and many other efforts to

STATE OF CALIFORNIA February 1, 1960

HON. GLENN M. ANDERSON President of the Senate, and MEMBERS OF THE SENATE Senate Chamber, Sacramento HON. RALPH M. BROWN Speaker of the Assembly, and MEMBERS OF THE ASSEMBLY Assembly Chamber, Sacramento GENTLEMEN:

Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 88, adopted in the 1959 session, provides that ". . . the State Board of Education and The Regents of the University of California are requested to report on the subject of this resolution to the Legislature at its 1960 regular session within three days of the convening thereof. . . ." Pursuant to this resolution, we now transmit the study requested, which is entitled A Master Plan for Higher Education in California, 1960-1975. The Liaison Committee plans later to publish this report for wider distribution, at which time the supporting data may be further refined. The Liaison Committee also plans to issue the reports of the Technical Committees as separate documents.

We are glad to inform you that these recommendations set forth in Chapter I of this report were unanimously approved in principle by The Regents of the University of California and the State Board of Education meeting in joint session on December 18, 1959. Because of the enthusiastic endorsement of these recommendations by our two boards and their wide acceptance by our faculties, the press in California, and many informed citizens, we are anxious to have them fully implemented.

Accordingly, the full resources of our respective offices are available to assist in any way to carry out those of the recommendations requiring legislative action. Since the remaining recommendations already have the approval of our boards, we shall proceed without delay with their implementation.

Respectfully submitted,

President of the University of California

Superintendent of Public Instruction

TO:

Liaison Committee of the State Board of Education and

The Regents of the University of California

FROM: Master Plan Survey Team

SUBJECT: Transmission of A Master Plan for Higher Education in California, 1960-1975

Assembly Concurrent Resolution No. 88, approved by the 1959 Legislature, requests the Liaison Committee ". . . to prepare a Master Plan for the development, expansion, and integration of the facilities, curriculum, and standards of higher education, in junior colleges, state colleges, the University of California, and other institutions of higher education of the State, to meet the needs of the State during the next 10 years and thereafter . . . " and to transmit that plan "". . . to the Legislature at its 1960 regular session within three days of the convening thereof. . . ."" Accordingly, the Committee at its meeting on June 3, 1959, took the two following actions, both subsequently endorsed by the two governing boards:

1. Approved the general outline for the study and the major problems to be included.

2. Created a study committee (later called the Master Plan Survey Team) and delegated to it responsibility for developing the plan in accordance with the approved outline.

The Master Plan Survey Team now transmits its report to the Liaison Committee. In so doing it comments as follows:

1. Despite widely divergent views held by different members of the team as to how higher education in California should develop in the future, the sixty-three recommendations made to the Committee were approved by the team without a single dissenting vote.

2. The suggestions made by the Liaison Committee for clarification and modification of the Survey Team's recommendations were

v

of such a constructive character that the team accepted those changes. Consequently, the wording of the recommendations as approved by the two governing boards in Chapter I is identical with that found in the body of the report. The team wishes to record its deep appreciation particularly to the Technical Committees, which provided much of the basic information underlying the Master Plan Survey report, to the Joint Advisory Committee, and to the Office of Publications of the University of California for assistance in editing and producing both this report and those of the Technical Committees. In addition, the team is most appreciative of the fine co-operation on the part of administrators and staff of both public and private institutions of higher education in the state, members of the Legislature, other departments of the State government, and many other persons who contributed to the completion of this report within the time schedule. The Survey Team also wishes to express its deep regret at the untimely death during the course of the survey of Herman A. Spindt, Chairman of the Technical Committee on Selection and Retention of Students. Respectfully submitted,
