University of California Schools Suffer Budget Cuts, UC Admissions Cuts 10K Students

Remember that part in The Terminator where Schwarzenegger goes ballistic on that biker bar and pretty much annihilates it? Well, that’s what his proposed million budget cut may do to the University of California schools. Not only will fewer students be admitted, class sizes will increase, and less variety in classes will be offered.

 

According to KCBS:

Fewer students could be admitted to the University of California system because of cuts proposed by the governor to balance the state budget.


The UC system could lose as much as $65 million in mid-year cuts at a time when it is already underfunded by $1 billion, said UC President Mark Yudof.


“We are now 10,000 students over what the legislature has funded us for,” Yudof told an audience at San Francisco’s Commonwealth Club on Monday.


If Gov. Schwarzenegger’s cuts are approved, spending the University of California budget will have been reduced by $113 million this year.


The California State University System has already cut 10,000 spots for next year’s incoming class. Yudof said the UC Board of Regents would also have to at least consider an enollment cap when it meets on Tuesday.

Obviously, Arnie’s in between a rock and a hard place with the econalypse. Cuts need to be made to the budget, but an investment in the future such as education isn’t really “trimming the fat,” as the politicians say when they feel the need to condescend to the plebs. Then again, maybe if gay marriage hadn’t been banned, the Californian tourist industry would be popping with cake, tux, and flower sales.

Vote them all out, Democrats and Republicans. Anyone who votes for the budget MUST be voted out. If students can't go to school, the leaders need to be on the streets, too. Posted 12/02/2008 02:12 AMReply
