Why do the UCs have low graduation rates?

Simple:

The UCs purposely accept a lot of low income kids (33% Pell Grantees at each campus) and the UCs give poor financial aid. Since low income kids need to work to support themselves (and sometimes their families), they take a lighter course load which means that they cannot graduate in four years.
