Governor Brown signs two tiered tuition structure for community colleges into law



Reported in the LA Times, Governor Brown apparently has signed into law,  AB955, as of today.  Given that only recently did LBCC switch to Winter/Summer session system, they got what they wanted although their enrollment actually went down with the department reductions in 2012.   The LA Times states:

Brown also signed legislation creating a pilot program that allows some community colleges to raise charges for high-demand classes during summer and winter terms. Proponents said it will help eliminate bottlenecks that keep many students from completing their course work.
Critics of that bill, AB 955 by Assembly member Das G. Williams (D-Santa Barbara), said it could hurt students who can't afford the higher charges. But Brown disagreed, saying in a statement that it creates "a reasonable experiment."
