It doesn’t seem to add up

Byuclafaculty

UCLA has been saying that it is admitting more out-of-state and international students (who pay full freight) but not cutting back on in-state admissions.  The latest numbers from UCOP, however, tell a different story.  Here are the latest fall freshmen admissions numbers for UCLA:

Fall of          2010       2011       2012
——————————————–
California       9890      10913       9263


Out of State     1819       2313       3049


International    1304       2315       3143
——————————————–
Total           13013      15551      15455


It is true that total admissions are up (relative to 2010) so we are not substituting non-state for in-state students on a one-for-one basis.  But in-state student admissions are down and non-state students are up. There remain students on waitlists and there will be a difference between admissions and actual attendance.

Dig a Deeper Hole?

Byuclafaculty

The plaintiffs in the case against the UCLA Grand Hotel have filed an amended brief.  You can read it at the link below.  There are actually two cases, one involving environmental and other matters and another regarding the tax issue.  The environmental case will be heard in September.  And there is legal skirmishing around the tax case. The tax issue is basically that if the hotel is a commercial operation, it has to pay taxes just as would any other hotel.  There is also an issue of whether the Regents can run a commercial enterprise and, if that’s what they…

Tradition!

Byuclafaculty

The Legislative Analyst’s Office (LAO) has issued a report on UC and CSU funding.  LAO is usually viewed as a neutral agency.  But it is a component of the legislature.  So it tends to favor approaches that add to legislative control as opposed to, say, gubernatorial control.  This report is no exception. LAO seems to want to return to what it terms the “traditional” approach to funding, but with bells and whistles added to monitor legislative goals.  The traditional approach seems to be one focused on undergraduate enrollment.  But in fact the tradition – such as it is – has…
