Privatizing Cal Poly? For or Against?

An article came out recently that discussed Cal Poly administration entertaining the possibility of Cal Poly leaving the CSU and going private (or semi-private like Cornell).

What do you think? Good idea? Or worst insanity ever conceived?

I personally think Cal Poly should stick with the state of CA no matter what. But perhaps enact a compromise of sorts of being semi-funded by the state, private funding/donation, and students.

Or how about finally leaving the much more poorly funded CSU system and joining the UCs? An idea that has floated around for the past 20 years.
