Couldn’t the alumni do something about this misery?
If this was a private school, I’m sure the alumni would already have done something…



You answered your own question. This is not a private school; it’s a huge, overpopulated, and will soon be a severely underfunded public school in the near future. The alumni network is small, as it is with all public schools. Furthermore, the alumni can’t really do anything in terms of admissions. The admissions process lies mostly in the hands of the state of California and the UC Regents. The alumni can complain all they want, but in the end, they’re just there to donate money.

However woeful this is, you should keep in mind that what happens in Berkeley is most likely the same tale that is happening to all public schools though, especially the UC’s.



This is such a greedy act. Write Cal and let them know how disappointed you are.



LOL

Who would you write this to? And even if the right person reads this, what can he/she do about it?
