UC Berkeley Student Group: We Oppose Cops PROTECTING Us From Terrorist Attacks
UC Berkeley Student Group: We Oppose Cops PROTECTING Us From Terrorist Attacks. Seriously? This is OK. No terrorist worth his salt would waste any time on blowing up these dummies. It would almost be redundant.
UCLA/UC BERKELEY: Black Students Demand “Segregation Now, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation Forever”
UCLA/UC BERKELEY: Black Students Demand “Segregation Now, Segregation Tomorrow, Segregation Forever.” OK, so why did we bother to have the civil rights movement?
Education scam: UC Berkeley admits more out-of-state students because they pay more
The folks at U.C. Berkeley really are geniuses. They’ve come up with a very clever way to fund their leftist utopia. Why, if we didn’t know better, we’d almost think they were money-grubbing capitalists.
The folks at U.C. Berkeley really are geniuses. They’ve come up with a very clever way to fund their leftist utopia. Why, if we didn’t know better, we’d almost think they were money-grubbing capitalists.
The San Francisco Chronicle has the devious details:
The number of out-of-state students is soaring at UC Berkeley, with new figures showing more than a quarter of newcomers on campus – freshmen and transfer students – won’t be from California this year. That’s up from 23 percent last year, and 15 percent two years ago.
More important for the campus, the nonresidents pay nearly three times the tuition of in-state students, and will bring in $80 million this year, up from $54 million last year, spokeswoman Janet Gilmore said.
How big is the scam? Well, let’s just say there’s a lot of BS in every BA degree.
… Nonresidents pay about $35,000 for a year at UC, compared with $12,000 for California residents. UC has calculated that every 1 percent increase in nonresident students brings in nearly $1 million. Last year, 6 percent of all undergrads across the system – not just newcomers – were nonresidents. UC’s Board of Regents wants to increase that to 10 percent, although it will be several years before that goal is reached, even with this fall’s new students.
There’s an old saying that every trend begins in California. Universities in other states will soon catch on to this scam. Next thing you know all students in all states will only be accepted at out of state schools.
Sure, it’ll cost parents a small fortune, but their financial pain will surely be assuaged by the knowledge that leftist professors’ salaries and retirement plans will be safe.

Failing upward: Former Michigan Governor Granholm becomes paid contributor to “Meet the Press”
Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm – one of the worst governors in the history of governors – has landed a cushy teaching gig at UC Berkeley, scored a book deal, and signed on as a paid contributor on Meet The Press.
Once again, Rush Limbaugh said it best: “Failure is a resume enhancement for liberals.”
Former Michigan Governor Jennifer Granholm – one of the worst governors in the history of governors – has proven Limbaugh’s Law to be correct. She’s landed a cushy teaching gig at UC Berkeley, scored a book deal, and signed on as a paid contributor on Meet The Press.
WZZM13.com has the story of her failure with finesse:
Democrat Granholm, 51, also will be a paid contributor to NBC’s “Meet the Press.” …
“I’m very much looking forward to this new chapter in what has been and what will continue to be a very full life,” Granholm was quoted in the article.
She said she and her husband have a two-year appointment at the University of California-Berkeley – her undergraduate alma mater – and this spring will teach there at the Goldman School of Public Policy.
They will teach separate courses in the university’s schools of law, business and public policy.
Their book is planned for publication in September.
… Granholm told Politico.com the classes and her book will share the theme of Michigan as the state hardest hit by the loss of manufacturing jobs, and the lessons it holds.
Granholm left office with low approval ratings, but has said she did all she could to set Michigan on a path to diversify its auto-dependent economy.
She told Politico.com that those efforts are bearing fruit with a falling unemployment rate — from a peak of 14.7% down to 11.7% in December — although she added, “It’s not like things have been fixed.”
“It’s not like things have been fixed.” You may consider that the understatement of the year, but the geniuses at Bezerkeley think of it as that special brand of brilliance necessary to become a professor.

Al Gore flunks physics at UC Berkeley
According to the latest issue of Forbes, Professor Richard Muller tools around uber liberal Berkeley in a Toyota Pirus.
Nothing out of place here, right? Wrong.
“It doesn’t save me money,” he explains. “It doesn’t help slow global warming. I just love the technology.” Muller, named a MacArthur genius in 1982, goes even further. He scoffs at the greens’ favorite energy theories and says people like Al Gore and Thomas Friedman are exaggerators of global warming, pure and simple.
Here at IHateTheMedia.com we wonder just what former future President Gore must think when he hears such blasphemy coming from an august professor.
The answer, obviously, is that Gore doesn’t think much (that sentence has two meanings and both of them are true).
Gore lives in a world of massive denial. To him, Professor Muller is just a dumb blond, Bill Clinton really didn’t have sex with that woman, and when Credence Clearwater sings ”Fortunate Son” the lyrics really say “I am a senator’s son.”
