<p><strong>LAO Releases Higher Education Budget Analysis and Recommendations</strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>On Thursday, February 15, 2018, the Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) released its
<a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=http://www.accca.org/i4a/etrack/track.cfm%3frType%3d2%26campaignID%3d4088%26contactID%3d28136%26origURL%3dhttp://www.lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/3748&c=E,1,b0oDvsLCCA3fBVm4XRSnjHtzsKiJRWc4CWbnT9kSs5T_xb08TrU13mMMGxpjgNdOw3rNITuxoY6y--T22RYIwfIxc0llyn-ihbPLQhC_JTzCcspxzCvlvCA-&typo=1" target="_blank">

<p><strong>California Online Community College</strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>After analyzing Governor Brown’s proposal for a California Online Community College, the LAO cites several concerns with the proposal. The LAO is concerned that the need for a fully online college is not well defined. The LAO says it is unclear if providing
online offerings will solve key barriers for targeted student groups and if they are well suited for an online approach. Despite its concerns, the LAO does not reject Governor Brown’s proposal and instead recommends the following:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><strong>Student-Centered Funding Formula</strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The LAO is generally supportive of the proposed student-centered funding formula direction since the current enrollment-based funding approach has certain drawbacks and performance-based funding would support the Legislature’s goals for the system. Additionally,
the LAO notes that many states have some type of performance-based funding formula, and nationwide research finds performance-based formulas can change institutional behavior.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>However, the LAO is concerned that the proposed formula has several key incentive problems including providing a hold harmless provision that may dampen the effect of shifting to a performance-based formula and that the supplemental grant serves the same
purposes as several categorical programs. To remedy these concerns, the LAO recommends the following:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><strong>Senator Mendoza Officially Resigns</strong><o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Facing a possible expulsion by his colleagues, Senator Tony Mendoza officially resigned from the California State Senate on Thursday, February 23, 2018. The resignation comes two days after a Senate investigation found that Mendoza likely engaged in “unwanted
flirtatious or sexually suggestive behavior” toward six women, including four that worked for the former Senator.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>As a result of Mendoza’s resignation, Senate Democrats lose their two-thirds majority in the upper house for at least the next several months. This means Republican support will be necessary during this time to pass any legislation requiring the higher vote
threshold such as urgency measures or tax increases.<o:p></o:p></p>
