Plan: Let’s Terminate Education

ecclog - April 5, 2004 @ 3:35 am · Filed under Legalese

Hm, I guess that I’m in a political mood this week.  Something else that I’m ticked off about, California’s Gropenfuhrer announced last month that he wants U.C. enrollment cut by 10% for the entering class — that’s 3,200 spots.  Perhaps he can coldly propose this because his kids have the Kennedy family legacy to Ivy League schools and he has the wallet to pay for it.


This will probably go through — California made its deal with the devil, in terms of selling out education long ago with Prop. 13.

    California is not the only state doing this. The governor of Illinois shamelessly asked to cut state school funds by 9% last year. In reality, decreased block grants from the federal government are the root of the problem. Down with Bush come nov.

    Hm, Whup’s UC story doesn’t really depict the full problem, and it’s not up to date. To see what’s currently going on with the UCs and affirmative action, see this reprint of a SacBee article on by class blog:
