Yeah, I noticed that.

Sad that the diversity argument would potentially appeal more strongly than a quality of student argument. That’s fucked up.

Yeah, I wanted to write abotu the fact that more out of state students are more qualified than in-state students (ELC, etc.) However, I figured I would be more convincing with the diversity argument since the diversity argument will probably attract more people. It’s great how I got to defend Prop 209 and “critical mass” in the same sentence.

RepBast, good article. It’s about time.

I think the point should also have been made that out of staters are generally more academically qualified, so there is the tangible benefit of improving quality of the student body (in addition to bringing together a more geographically diverse class and extending Berkeley’s visibility beyond CA borders).

But on the whole, I certainly agree with it.

I read the article, and I learned that the Palestinians are angry, because the ISM wieners are teaching their children to smoke drugs and have premarital sex, which offend their religious sensibilities.

PS I’m a former cabinet undersecretary in the Carter administration.

We did read the article, mano, and we concluded that the Palestinians don’t want the help of the leftist groups anymore.

chet, read the article: its a sad, sorry piece of journalism. if you take that seriously, you aint doing too well.

now lets see, earlier we learned you like to pretend you are a ceo. now we know some more: you arent a journalism student.

of course, my current conception of you involves your feeding tube, and i guess swallowing everything that gets tossed your way is consistent with the designation… you ahve no choice.
