Being only a few years removed from college, I have a unique perspective on the fee hikes that the UC Board of Regents approved earlier this week. A previous article on HOGUE NEWS comprehensively covered the waste that exists in the University of California, but there are still several glaring problems with the UC, some of which can easily be solved.
To begin with, all of the members of the Board of Regents are appointed by the governor to serve a 12-year term on the board. Many times the individuals on this board are no more qualified than you or me to make these decisions about the direction of the best public university system in country, instead they are appointed as political favors. Take for instance Sherry Lansing former CEO of Paramount Pictures or Richard Blum, husband of Senator Diane Feinstein, or even Frederick Ruiz Chairman of Ruiz Foods. Worst of all would be UC President Mark Yudof, who is the former head of Wachovia and has pushed several poor UC investments into mortgage backed securities and real estate.
