(November 2, 2005) The University of California, for the past 30 years considered among the finest schools in the nation, is no longer a true place of higher learning where the exchange of ideas in all disciplines is encouraged and welcomed. It is evident that many students graduating from publicly financed schools like those in the UC system are being shortchanged. UC campuses have become one-sided political factories, graduating large numbers of leftist, brainwashed students, many of whom were taught to hate America, hate our government, hate God, and hate religion, any religion; and they are always offended. How could this happen?

I reported sometime back that the hiring of teaching personnel in all UC campuses for years has been 85% liberal, 15% conservative, by design. Who gets the blame for the imbalance? The answer is the highly paid elitists at the very top, the Board of Regents, the UC president, plus the various chancellors, all of whom make policy for the entire university and all of whom know how unjustly they are using their power.

Speaking of those top-of-the-heap policymakers, several weeks ago, newspapers reported that the regents et al – presently earning almost $400,000 each per year – claimed that they needed a raise, so they proposed a creative way to receive raises by asking the public to donate to a special fund. This went over like a lead balloon. Most newspaper editors were offended and responded negatively. These top-gun elitists, by this callous and crass proposal, added to their joint political biases and have lost respect and credibility as fair leaders of the UC schools. Many already receive enormous salaries, hefty pensions, medical coverage, free homes, and moving allowances. And this omission of the valid need to give raises to the poorly paid employees and staff in lower levels of the system magnifies the greed and absence of sensitivity of these elitists. It is an outrage. Are these the leaders we should trust to make decisions for our grown children? Think about it.
