Jan. 18, 2012 – Four college leaders, including UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, gathered at a public forum on Jan. 11 to discuss the challenges that their institutions are currently facing. At the heart of several issues that were addressed was the impact of repeated budget cuts and tuition hikes on the future of higher education. Larry Mantle, who hosts KPCC’s news talk show, “AirTalk,” moderated the event. USC president Max Nikias, California Community Colleges Chancellor Jack Scott, and the president of Pitzer College, Laura Skandera Trombley, also participated. The forum was recorded and played on AirTalk the next day.
