UC administrators cheat poor Latinos, favor overseas Asians, and stuff pensions

CalWatch: A protracted dispute in California about education funding for the UC system has sharpened over a new bill in Sacramento that would require big new hikes in tuition for out-of-state students. 

Assembly Bill 1711, introduced by Assemblyman Jose Medina, D-Riverside, sailed through the Assembly, reflecting a broad-based reaction to a brutal audit of the UC’s revenue practices. “State Auditor Elaine Howle found that UC was enrolling a higher number of less-qualified nonresident students to boost revenue at the expense of California students,” the Sacramento Bee reported. “According to the report, nonresident enrollment exploded by 82 percent between the 2010-11 and 2013-14 academic years. The report further stated the UC system didn’t do enough to cut budgets before turning to recruiting out-of-state students.” 

What’s more, over a broader 10 year stretch, “admissions of out-of-state undergraduate students soared 432 percent, a period in which in-state admissions only increased 10 percent,” as the U-T San Diego editorial board observed. “More than 4,000 California students ‘whose academic scores met or exceeded all of the median scores of nonresidents whom the university admitted to the campus of their choice’ were denied admission to UC,” according to Howle’s report.

Of course, along the way the same bozos blame white folks for no apparent reason.  Shut the UC  semester down for a year and let the  UC professors recover some common sense.
