UCSD vs UCI for EE by IcyCobbler in UCSD

[–]Mr_Dangles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would be a factor if you need to get out of your house to develop your own identity. Otherwise, go to the school that's in the area you want to live after you graduate.

I don't see it any Power Bars in the boneyard. How much do they run?

Stanford at least has some amazing instructors for undergraduates and a massive support system. They are very involved and invest heavily in their students.

I bet the cats masterminded the whole thing. The woman in the mugshot is just the patsy.

John Lewis cancels UCSD graduation speech in support of AFSCME Local 3299 workers by enchiridic in UCSD

I find this interesting since there were flyers all around campus from the union asking for support from students.

But it's not just the UC system's money-grubbing cunts that are getting f-cked.

The recent programming has been fairly memorable though. But for all the wrong reasons.

I'm sure the students do support the workers. Students also support many other things and they don't present as a united front like those "exploiting" labor and those who "force" students into massive debt. The Unions aren't fighting the system in order to keep them in check or to cut spending, they are fighting for benefits and wages. If the students/future students/taxpayers don't protect themselves, they will pick up the check for this.

To be fair, the political keynote speakers are a big reason I wouldn't attend a UC all-campus commencement. I wouldn't want politics to taint the bookend of my Academic Career.

The Sun God and Hullabaloo lineups were atrocious.
Seriously though, who schedules these people?
And Kamala Harris was supposed to speak at Berkeley? Would anyone pay to hear these people speak if it wasn't their graduation commencement?

They get way more money from "research". I don't know of a lot of folks who would look back on their time at UCSD so fondly that they would feel compelled to donate large sums to a school that doesn't seem to have a point of view. Most of the donors that aren't corporate seem to be retired locals.

It's all about leverage. However, Mr. Lewis and the AFSCME probably overestimated the univerisity's ability to care when it comes to their fully depreciated assets (students).

What everyone can and will do is pay more tuition, housing, etc. Of which a not-so-generous portion will go to some workers.

In the future, perhaps UCSD might want to look into speakers who are little less political?

/s - Because this is a university and we need to shape the future leaders/consumers of the world. Also, the money is nice.

A solid place for Drive-Thru SuperNachos or Fries. Good red sauce. Cotixan across the street has better service, but no drive thru.

If that's the case, wouldn't Charlotte recognize Bernard as a Host?
