Tom Campbell wants LA and Berkeley to cost as much as Stanford

<p>

The real question is whether the in state upper middle class would pay–kids of the rich are already at the privates.

</p>

<p>Some yes, but not many with the stats. There just ain’t that many slots at highly selective colleges. There are plenty of rich instaters who attend a mid-tier UC who would be ecstatic to pay more to attend Cal or UCLA.</p>

<p>

That would be a heck of a lot of people to subsidize. With rising costs, Berkeley’s socioeconomic diversity would take a huge hit.

</p>

<p>Of course, that IS the plan. The only question is whether the rich are instaters or OOS’ers.</p>
