What your guest seems not to understand is that America is in a fight to the finish with China and others. We need to spend our resources on students who can help us WIN that fight. What Karen Haynes failed to mention is that the Cal State system offers remedial English and Math classes to entering "students." We need to spend our tax dollars only on those already capable of succeeding - not in building some Empire of the Difficient just to justify an ever larger university system.
If the Cal State system was limited to those who actually belonged there then the system would be smaller and smarter... and ....such deserving / capable students would then probably pay nearly nothing in tuition .. a promise of the 1960s that has been betrayed.
