We should all be familiar with the protest which took place March 4, regarding the budget cuts on campus.
However, the Dailey 49er published an article by Lisa M. Krieger of the San Jose Mercury News regarding California's University system.
Krieger writes, "While the recession turned a slow-brewing problem into an instant crisis, a San Jose Mercury News analysis of California's mess in higher education reveals that many factors drove the inevitable and ugly collision between the university system 's ambitious and uncoordinated growth and the state's declining ability and desire to pay for it."
The article goes on to list the "many factors" that contributed to this "mess" while also stating that population growth and academic goals of students had an affect on the state's promise to universities.
The conclusion: the recession is just another problem to add to the crumbling university system we see before us.
