TICAS joined this letter from 19 organizations of the Californians for College Affordability Coalition acknowledging Governor Newsom’s efforts to balance the state’s current fiscal reality and higher education priorities through his 2024-25 budget proposal. The coalition respectfully requests that the Legislature work to protect the key investments outlined in the letter that will advance college affordability for students across the state, especially as the cost of living continues to hinder students’ ability to afford and enroll in college.
