The long-range goal for the University of California, Merced embraced a vision of a full-service research university that would serve 25,000 students at full capacity. Today’s challenge is how to meet those ambitious expectations in an era of diminished state support for higher education.The UC Merced 2020 Project embraces a unique public-private partnership as a stepping stone toward long-term growth.
