The Vote: Unanimous Ayes COMMUNICATIONS � , Four Year College Committee Report Michael Wells appeared before Council with respect to the Four Year College Committee Report dated September 12, 1968. Mr. Wells stated it is the recommendation of the Committee that �� Council request Chico State College to provide an upper division educational program for the Redding area. In a discussion of this matter, Mr. Wells said that if Council approves the recommen- dation, the Committee will seek similar support from other z agencies in the County. He also stated that available classroom �'�1 facilities have been investigated and that it appears that Shasta College can presently accommodate some Chico State College upper division courses and, if the program is successful, perhaps a separate facility can be established near Shasta College. The program would offer accredited courses and would permit a person to complete a full four year college course without leaving Redding.' It was brought out that even if the Coordinating Council on Higher Education, Committee on Physical Facilities, recommended to the Legislature the estabishment of a four year college in the Redding area, such facility is more than five years away.
