Can't enroll in classes! HELP

In fact, they are. You just happen to be a new student (or someone with few units), and so you are given the lowest priority out of all the people who are in your major.

</p>

<p>this was never emphasized during orientation, and many students - especially transfers - are technically juniors, so why do freshman ethnic studies majors get to take up all the spaces in say…history? if anything, new students should be given a series of guarantees that allows them to access courses related to their majors, rather than pay for classes no one wants to take. </p>

This is incredibly ignorant. Let’s address your points one by one. </p>

<p>Top administrator salaries only account for 2% of the UC budget…increasing the general budget by 1% will have little to no effect for 99% of students.

</p>

<p>the “top” UC administrators have increased their salaries by a factor of four in the last five years. why is this? has their performance increased during the california budget crisis? the UC payroll is more than 50% of the ENTIRE UC budget. providing obscene, exponentially increasing salaries for a select individuals while cutting/firing/laying off staff who make sensible salary (50-150k depending on position). According to the nexus - UCSB’s online newspaper, 4,000 employees were fired while the top employees raised their total salaries by 200 million dollars. </p>

<p>public education should be for the benefit of the public and the electorate.</p>
