“it is unlikely they will receive any education of value from a California university or college.”
You know what? This bill is insane. It’s probably illegal.
But California universities and colleges are the best in the country, if not the world. Yeah, I’m looking at you, Harvard.
We have the University of California system — that’s TEN campuses. Between Cal, UCLA, UC Santa Barbara, and UC San Diego, you can’t count the number of Nobel prizes. These are PUBLIC universities, mind you.
We have Cal Tech (which only put men on the moon and ushered in the computer age, no thanks to MIT), the Cal Poly schools, and let’s not forget Stanford.
And I don’t know where you get this “astronomical tuition” stuff. The UC and Cal State systems are dirt cheap compared to their Eastern counterparts.
We have a lot of problems here — including this bill — but our higher education system is something our parents and grandparents got right.
Oh, yeah, there’s also USC, but it sort of doesn’t belong on the list. Meh.
That statement is completely accurate,.....20 years ago.
The university that graduated the NASA pioneers that put US astronauts on the moon, is no more. Their latest graduates have created sterling examples of technology like MTBE, carbon banking and identical flu vaccine selections for successive flu seasons.
A sheepskin is worth what it's perceived value is, like fiat money. As soon as the public catches on, Cal is finished.
