The standoff between state officials and the University of California over its finances and admissions policy grew tense Tuesday as the university threatened to limit enrollment of California students next year unless it receives more money from the state.

UC President Janet Napolitano told an Assembly budget subcommittee that the university will cap in-state enrollment at current levels while continuing to increase the number of nonresident students.

“We will not not be admitting students that we don’t know that we actually have funding for,” Napolitano said.

UC will still increase the number of out-of-state and international students by up to 2,000 next year, a step that the university argues is financially necessary to support slots for in-state students.

But they will be increasing Muslim Outreach efforts.

Especially from Syria and Libya..

No it not, far far from it: controlled enrollment, special preferences, monopolistic closed market.

Is it wrong and evil to wish that the San Andreas fault just let go and the whole state slip into the Pacific? /s

Yes, but a contrite heart God will not despise.

So funny .... I don’t think Comrade Governor Moonbeam or Comrade Napolitano will take your suggestion seriously.

This is the most insane article I have ever read in my entire life. This is beyond Orwell. This is Communist Utopia masturbation material.

Charge the individual colleges rent for the land and facilities they use, redirect tax dollars to necessary infrastructure and two year schools, disallow foreign funds for education and religious sites.

Then see how feisty the ivory tower actually is.

When my kids went through the UC system 10 years ago, they held out a certain percentage for this. I had a conversation with a woman in admittance. I was furious back then. It’s worse now.

Look again - they are rejecting the students who pay the lower, government tuition, and accepting those who will pay the real cost.

Market forces are at work.

They might be taking about out of country students who will get financial aid at instate prices. Or paid for by taxpayers.

Consider:

You have two groups:

Group A is limited to in state only and pays at rate Y.
Group B is limited to out of state only and pays at rate 2Y.

Group A is restricted from participating in Group B's pay plan and vice-versa.

The number of participants in each group is fixed and being restricted by artificial means (government control).

Your comment regarding free market forces would be correct only if Group A was given the option of participating at the rate paid by group B.

When one controls market forces by government fiat, "free market rules" are no longer applicable.

Your comment regarding free market forces would be correct only if Group A was given the option of participating at the rate paid by group B.

My comment was that market forces are being applied to Group B. On the path to free markets. They are restricting sales to group A because they do not pay production costs.

[Michael.SF.]

Valid point.

But I would say that Group A has been pre paying their share through taxes.

Have a good one!
