November 17, 2013 (San Diego) -- Assemblymember Shirley N. Weber (D-San Diego) will convene the first hearing of the Assembly Select Committee on Higher Education in San Diego County on Thursday, November 21 from 4:30 to 7 p.m.  The hearing will be held at the State Building, 1350 Front Street, Room B-109 in San Diego.

This informational hearing will examine the state of education within the San Diego region. Specifically, the hearing will focus on assessing student access, and exploring what educational opportunities exist within the region. One issue the Committee will explore is why residents have so few public higher education options although the County is the third most populated in the state.

In early 2013, Speaker of the Assembly, John A. Pérez (D-Los Angeles) announced the creation of the Select Committee on Higher Education Issues in San Diego County and appointed Assemblymember Weber to serve as Chair.
