The University of California System is frequently lauded as one of the best public-education systems in the world.
But a scathing new state audit of the system tells a story of manipulation of admissions standards for financial gain, as the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
The audit claims that the university knowingly admitted out-of-state-applicants with lower qualifications in an effort to boost income from increased tuition.
"This report concludes that over the past several years, the university has undermined its commitment to resident students," the audit reads. "The university made substantial efforts to enroll nonresident students who pay significantly more tuition than residents."
In-state applicants pay $13,400 a year for tuition versus the $38,108 out-of-state applicants must pay.
The audit asserts that, from the 2010-11 school year through the 2014-15 school year, out-of-state enrollment increased a whopping 82%, while in-state enrollment decreased 1%.
It also claims that "the university admitted nearly 16,000 nonresidents whose scores fell below the median scores for admitted residents at the same campus on every academic test score and grade point average that we evaluated."
