Mattos on four year institution
question:
Do you favor bringing a four-year institution to the County? HOW will you do that?answer:
Through the current partnership with Fresno State University, UC Merced and Fresno Pacific College students at West Hills College and/or College of the Sequoias can take most classes for a variety of four year degrees without leaving Kings County. These type of partnerships should be expanded to the greatest extent possible. The building of a four year institution is a worthwhile goal. The first step should be the formation of an exploratory committee to access unmet educational needs and make findings as to possible options for such a facility.
