There was
a 43 percent jump in the number of affluent
foreign and affluent out-of-state
students accepted by University of California Berkeley. The more non-Californians admitted, the fewer qualified
Californians can be. Fall admit rate for Californians drops to record
low 18%. A shocking confirmation of inept Chancellor,
Provost.

In spite of eligibility
Cal. Chancellor Birgeneau ($450.000), Provost Breslauer ($306,000) shed
thousands of instate applicants. Qualified instate applicants to public Cal. are replaced by a $50,600
payment from born abroad affluent foreign
and affluent out of state students.
And, Birgeneau subsidizes affluent foreign and affluent out of state tuition in
the guise of diversity while he doubles instate tuition/fees. (Harvard is now
less costly than Cal.)

Birgeneau/Breslauer
accept affluent $50,600 foreign students that displace qualified instate Californians
(When depreciation of tax funded assets are included (as they should be), out
of state and foreign tuition is more than $100,000 and does NOT subsidize
instate tuition.

With the
recommendations of Cal. Chancellor Birgeneau ($450,000 salary), Provost George
Breslauer ($306,000 salary) allowed campus police to use excessive force -
rammed baton jabs – on students protesting Birgeneau‘s doubling of instate
tuition. Birgeneau resigned: sack Provost Breslauer.

Send a forceful
message that Cal.
senior management decisions are unacceptable: UC Board of Regents   marsha.kelman@ucop.edu and Calif. State
Senator and Assemblymember.
