Question How are you? If you were heading a group of Californians who wish to make sure that state spending on higher education will increase this year, how would you go about doing that?
Thank you in advance,

Answer Dear Cory:
Here are some of my suggestions that may help:
1-Get a letter out to the higher education governing officials stating the need for putting more money into higher education.
2- list the need for more research to make the state as a leader in the research area of education.
3- List the need for more qualified professors to produce better graduates to help decrease unemployment problems.
4-List the need for more specialization within the same discipline for more efficiency and better outcome.
5-List the need for better textbooks to help improve the state teaching methodology and to produce better employees in general.
6-List the need for teachers' exchange to help upgrade teaching in general and to bring in new ideas.
7- List the need for better and upgraded equipments and tools to help improve our higher eduction within the state (to produce better doctors, engineers, lawyers., administrators, managers...etc.)
8-and many more...
I am sure if the right idea is reached to the right official he/she will defend the spending principle.
