"I am a big supporter of higher education," she said. "As troubled as K-12 is in California, UC and CSU are still the gems of this state. In fact, we still have the very best higher education system in the country ... I want to put a billion dollars back into higher ed. "And then I want to say to the chancellors and the heads of the universities, 'How can you best use that billion dollars, for faculty, for research, lower fees?' because it breaks my heart to see what has happened to fees at all of these CSU and UC system schools."
