Once it opens in 2019 it will become a key piece of Brown’s education legacy for California. Brown and the college’s proponents say it will also help fuel the state’s economy — the fifth-largest in the world — and its insatiable need for skilled labor. https://edsource.org/2018/californias-online-community-college-will-break-new-ground-in-higher-ed/600904
