Someone does not  yet understand that public  institutions are indeed accountable to the public.  Let me guess, you are one of the people who can’t accept that school closures led to the democrat losing the governor’s race?

More like someone can't read.

I didn't say public institutions are not accountable to the public.  I said you don't get to decide how they hire, and you know that is true an that you don't, right?

They can hire who they want as long as they don't break the laws.  Colleges can admit who they want as long as they don't break laws.  Some guy on DCUM notwithstanding. [/quote]

It doesn’t seem like you know what accountable means.[/quote]

Accountable means some dude on DCUM gets to tell them what to do?

No, it does not.[/quote]

They are accountable to CA residents.  I thought we all understood that.  [/quote]

Great, so you are an CA resident and you get to tell them how to admit students?

Call them up and do so, and come back and let us know how that went.[/quote]

do you know what a ballot initiative is?[/quote]

Lol keep digging dude.

The day there is a ballot initiative on forcing the UCs to use SAT for admission, you can come back here and start a thread.

Until then, you're just fartin' in the closet.[/quote]

you’re talking about a state that had a successful ballot initiative on college admission criteria already - so yeah I think it’s quite relevant as one example of political accountability. voters care about this stuff, a LOT.  I’m kind of amused that you think a massive public insitution like the UCs is impervious to politics. very interesting take![/quote]
