University of California: The ‘Public’ Writes
May 28, 2008
One of the most interesting pieces I have read in the LA TImes’ op-ed is a compilation of short essays from students, labor leaders, elected officials, and academics about what UC President Mark Yudof should focus on as he begins his term in the coming months. These pieces range from liberal minded philosophical leanings of ‘know thy self’ to the more right-wing rhetoric of the infamous one man show, Ward Connerly. My favorite are those that reveal the true cost of a UC undergraduate education, which is often bloated in the public and at legislative hearings, thank you astronomy professor.
One noticeably absent piece is an essay from the Gubernator about how the system is worthless and should be privatized or subsidized by a non-California entity. Where are your market bullet points, mr. gubernator?
