"The students' rightful expectations exceed the resources of California," he said after the vote. Over and over, students rose during the public comment period to tell Yudof and the regents that UC is an intellectual refuge that will be lost to the immigrants, students of color and low-income people who have come to depend on it.

I have been saying for years that college and tuition increases every year are a crime, but mostly because the out of touch "pillars" of academia give themselves raises every year and believe they are untouchable.
For minorities to complain is sheer hypocrisy and garbage. Since I and my children are white, my kids are not eligible for the give aways available to minorities when it comes to college.
I am speaking the truth: if you are a minority with an academic record that is even close to average or below average, your college or university tuition is virtually paid for compared to a white student with much better grades.
Moreover, our tax dollars, and dollars of white families who pay full tuition go to degrees like "Queer Studies" and "Black Studies."
