Intervenant 1
Good morning.  Good morning, everyone.  We're gonna call this meeting to order.  Welcome, and thank you all for being here.  I am chair David Alvarez of the assembly, subcommittee number three on education finance, assembly budget committee, and welcome to all of you, here today. 

Today's hearing will focus entirely on an overview and perspectives from the leaders of our three segments of higher public higher education.  We will have the chancellor of community college, the chancellor of the CSU system, and the president of the University of California.  In addition to, we'll have department of finance and LAO available as well.  So I'll ask all panelists to please, come forward.  We will give an opportunity to members of the committee to make any opening remarks who anyone who'd like to make some opening remarks. 

I I definitely wanna kick us off by saying, first of all, thank you as the three leaders get settled.  Appreciate you joining us today.  This is something we always look forward to in this committee, and and I wanna say thank you first as we get going.  Growth is occurring in the state of California.  Demand continues to exist at our for higher education, and and that's a good thing, I think, for all of us Californians. 

However, we are seeing different dynamics happen at different campuses, and so we're gonna get into that, I'm sure.  As we move through today, I wanna highlight the consistent theme which you will hear from our discussion, which is our shared responsibility among all three systems and partnership with the legislature to expand student access still in California, to rightsize our campuses to reflect current and projected enrollment trends, and to ensure that academic programs are intentionally aligned for California's workforce needs.  The California master plan for career education provides a clear framework for all of this work.  If, you had a chance to read, that was published last year.  Sector based workforce alignment, particularly in high demand fields such as health care, education, climate, clean energy, IT, and advanced manufacturing, seamless pathways across the systems, regional coordination, equity, and access for Californians, in particular, first generation students and those who have historically been unrepresented in the higher education space and in the workforce.
