Diversity is the excuse, it appears to be all about $$$ to me.
6 UCs and 3 CSUs applied to. Do we need to be admitting 35% from out of state and international?
UC Irvine
UC Santa Cruz
UC Santa Barbara
UC Davis
UCLA
UCSD
CSU Pomona
CSU Sac State
CSU SLO
Were this many out of state students being admitted when there was adequate funding for public schools? $$$
We pay taxes so non-residents can utilize our education system.
