If these guys want to rebuild the UC of the past, they need to start by axing the wonderful faculty hired at top dollar. They need to go back to a day when the tenured faculty worked like adjuncts and got paid only a bit more. Yet, this is what they fear the most. They call this dismantling what their grandparents built but it’s really returning the place to what it was when it began.
What is frightening is just how clueless these guys can be. Their message is that students won’t be able to afford $40k for a UC education and that’s certainly true. But their solution is to push the costs onto the state and in this wonderful logical leap they seem to forget something: the students and the taxpayers are one in the same. If the students can’t afford $40k what makes them think that the same people will be able afford it when the bill comes labeled as “tax”?
