Effects on Education

On May 18, Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley said that California’s 115 community colleges will likely continue to offer its classes fully online in the fall, noting that many colleges in the system had already announced this intention. Oakley added that he fully encouraged this decision as he believes it "will be the most relevant way for us to continue to reach our students and to do it in a way that commits to maintaining equity for our students.”

On May 12, California State University Chancellor Timothy White announced that the CSU system would be offering fall 2020 courses primarily online "with some limited exceptions."

For spring 2020 alone, the CSU system is projecting a revenue loss of $337 million due to the pandemic, as a result of losses from student housing, parking and campus bookstores, combined with costs related to cleaning, overtime and the shift to distance education.

On May 20, University of California president Janet Napolitano told the UC Board of Regents that “every campus will be open and offering instruction” in fall 2020, adding that she “anticipates that most, if not all of our campuses, will operate in some kind of hybrid mode” involving a mix of online and in-person instruction. From the time that UC campuses shut down in mid-March through the end of April, the UC system experienced a $1.2 billion loss due to the pandemic.
