Community College League of California Responds to Governor Gavin Newsom's 2020-21 State Budget May Revision

SACRAMENTO, CA – Today, California Governor Gavin Newsom released the May Revise to the 2020-21 State Budget. Community College League of California President & CEO, Dr. Larry Galizio, released the following statement in response to the budget announcement:
 
“As much as Governor Newsom’s May Revision Budget reflects the devastating human and economic costs of the global pandemic, it also compels evidence-based deliberations to identify the strategic investments California must make to effectively confront the immediate crisis and to establish the conditions for economic recovery and social renewal. California’s community colleges are indispensable for both managing our public health crisis, and for educating and training the workforce necessary to emerge from the economic recession. The Community College League of California is eager to work with Governor Newsom and legislative leaders in crafting a responsible and responsive budget that protects access and equity to higher education and recognizes the invaluable contribution of California’s indispensable public community colleges.”
