Unfair to Californians

Re “In-state students may be out of luck,” Jan. 4

UC schools charge higher tuitions to out-of-state students because the families of California’s in-state students have been paying for those public universities since 1869.

If UC schools are going to break that long-standing promise with California residents and admit more out-of-state students at our children’s expense, it makes perfect sense to me that California’s taxpayers stop funding UC schools entirely.

What bare-faced disloyalty to California students and families, as preferential admittance to UC institutions may be extended to out-of-state students “for a price ... as a matter of survivability.” All while claiming to be “California for Californians.”

The ordinary student from “moderate income” parents hasn’t a chance in his or her own state.
