- Diane Leite - Diane LeiteAs a graduate of the stink hole known as UC Berkeley I think it’s important to tell the professors that they need to look inward while they are “professing their outrage” at this egregious behavior. All of them are paid significantly more than they are worth. Most don’t teach much, they leave that to foreign graduate students, while they “pursue their government funded research projects.” If California’s “education establishment” were really interested in lowering the costs of undergraduate education, they would all take a 50% pay cut and start doing the jobs they were supposedly hired to do, namely teach!
