We must fix our broken higher education system so future generations of students have affordable access to higher education, including community colleges, state colleges and universities. Students should never be denied access to a higher education because of funding shortages, nor should their financial future be imperiled by staggering educational debt. Sandra will ensure that after several years of massive increases, the UC, Cal State and community college systems have the base funding they need so increases to tuition and fees are finally put to an end. Sandra has worked with Young Invincibles on these issues for a number of years and will continue to champion the affordability of higher education in the State Senate.
