📰 News we're reading

• Blocked by CSU, community college bachelor's degrees closer to approval following new analysis (edsource.org) — Moorpark College’s long-delayed bachelor’s degree in cybersecurity and network operations is now likely to win approval as early as mid-January, after a new state-commissioned analysis favored community colleges. The report stresses serving “place‑bound” students and found limited duplication with CSU programs, potentially opening doors for Moorpark residents seeking affordable four‑year tech training close to home.
