California colleges and universities should permanently adopt policies that were put in place to better support students during the pandemic. These practices can help students graduate more quickly, lessening debt loads and making students eligible more quickly for higher paying work.
Some of the biggest differences these pandemic-inspired changes made for students were immediate: They did not have to commute to campus or search endlessly for parking. Access to support wherever, whenever and however they could find it allowed students to do all they need to in their busy lives and still be successful students.
For example, Rachelle Blanco, 27, a transfer student and receptionist, found the recorded lectures beneficial. “If you’re driving, and you wanted to listen to a lecture to internalize what’s being taught, I think it’s super good, so I really like that,” she said.
