Best State University?

Sakky, okay, just as long as you don’t take our prize away you can justify why California has so many great UCs. Merced might climb fast, it depends on the political support that it gets…it might do better under a different Governor but thats a different post.

I agree that the UCs were given greater support because more of the leadership (alphas) recognized the need for these schools in our state, and that in the East, in particular where leadership sends its children to private’s the support isn’t there for publics. I do think that a State like New York, should be able to put some more behind its four Universities, and that states with more than half the population of California could have four or more great Universities also.

Maybe we need a few National Public Universities so the federal government could provide educations to people not wanting to sign up for military service but for social service, or economics or International Relations.

Meanwhile, be true to your schools…Rah, Rah, UCs
