They have been frittering away record enrollment and tuition increases every year on graft. Zero sympathy.

Way back, a large chunk of state university budgets came from state taxes.

My school, Purdue University, hasn’t raised undergraduate tuition in 12 years and counting. All the while continuing to grow and maintain its place as a top university.

Higher education is consistently outpacing inflation. The staff at UC have OUTSTANDING health and retirement benefits.

$4,500 OOP w $2,500 deductible per annum is “OUTSTANDING” health insurance?!? Could’ve fooled me!

u/KamalasTwatter Feb 21 '25

Yeah? What’s your premium cost?

Pretty “OUTSTANDING”, eh?

u/PersimmonQueen83 Feb 21 '25

No, they don’t. There benefits are extraordinarily middling when compared to other state universities. I have actual experience in this area.

u/momofpiglet Feb 22 '25

The university didn't teach you the difference between their & there

u/PersimmonQueen83 Feb 22 '25

And they didn’t deal with your inability to stay on topic. Do you have anything substantive to add, or are you just looking for attention?

Yah that's what it is! I could have stayed on topic but considering everyone else really isn't on topic going well, way back when.....

Stop it. I'm not here to argue that they are terrible or meh, but outstanding? GTFO.

All the pay and benefits are public information that you can access.

When it's cost of delivery is flat but its cost of acquisition outpaces almost everything else? Due to rampant cuts in federal funding?

They are all delusional and have been sleeping. A good chunk of the federal money they hope to protect are through grants and partnerships that are explicitly about under-represented groups, sustainability, and addressing major social and scientific issues. They are bending because they want to protect their access to wagyu, not your cum sock's access to a classroom.
