[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If California law requires all of their top campuses to be over 80% in-state, why doesn’t Michigan do similar for their Ann Arbor flagship?[/quote]

[b]Because California has more than 3.5 times the population of Michigan. [/b]They also have a huge Asian population that, on the average, places a higher emphasis on getting top grades than any other state. They also fund their campuses much better than Michigan. Residents will not accept 50%, or anywhere near that, for their top schools.  Michigan residents can complain, but because the school is controlled by the publicly elected regents, the state can only threaten to cut back on funding.  Michigan get so little from the state anymore, the school doesn’t care. [/quote]

Again with your malarkey. We're not talking about merely Berkeley, the UC System is now forced to keep *all* Berkley, UCLA, Santa Barbara, San Diego, Irvine, and Davis 80-plus percent in-state. So that's six UC campuses, yet in your eye, one-third the size Michigan should be forbidden from keeping their one flagship campus 80% in-state?[/quote]
