LONG BEACH (AP) — The chancellor of the California State University on Tuesday set a new goal for students — increase graduation rates to 60 percent by 2025. In his “State of the CSU” address, Chancellor Timothy White said more college graduates will be needed to mitigate a coming “education drought” in the state. He cited a report by the Public Policy Institute of California, projecting there will be a shortage of a million college-educated workers in a decade.
