<p>Oh, and lay off on Merced. It’s a beautiful school that the state has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on and that has a good set of faculty. The only reason it is having a hard time attracting a lot of students is because it is new, it is in an out-of-the-way location, and it doesn’t yet have the “elite” appeal of the other UC campuses.</p>
