This was true 20 years ago, and it is true, now. The UCs are designed, with its harsh grading and oversubscribed lower division classes, to flunk out a good 20-25% of its students. With an ever-increasing strong group, academically, the flunk-out rate is no doubt less, but that doesn’t mean that there’s not an attempt to eliminate some students, if eating on Telegraph doesn’t accomplish the task first.

And, yes, private schools do what they can to retain their students. Absolutely.
