Over tells the extraordinary story of the 1960 Master Plan for
Higher Education in California, created by visionary University of
California President Clark Kerr and his contemporaries. The Master
Plan's equality of opportunity policy brought college within reach
of millions of American families for the first time and fashioned
the world's leading system of public research universities. The
California idea became the leading model for higher education
across the world and has had great influence in the rapid growth of
universities in China and East Asia. Yet, remarkably, the political
conditions supporting the California idea in California itself have
evaporated. Universal access is faltering, public tuition is
rising, the great research universities face new challenges, and
educational participation in California, once the national leader,
lags far behind. Can the social values embodied in Kerr's vision be
renewed?
