UC Berkeley
"Let there be light"
UC motto
David Randall has a great op-ed in PJ Media for how the federal government should treat universities looking for bailout dollars. There should be some strings attached. The National Association of Scholars has sent a letter (which you can sign onto) to President Trump outlining the strings that should be attached. I have signed it and I urge you to do so as well.

To those of you who cry, "freedom of expression," I say that it is not a matter of closing schools or firing professors. But where does it say that we tax-payers have to fund this insanity passing as education in our universities? It is a fact of life that those who fund things will have a say in how they are run. For publicly-funded universities, it is not their job to advance certain points of view at the expense of others. If,say, the University of California wants to advance the causes of illegal aliens, Palestinians, communism, the Democrat party, and the idea that there are 50+ genders in the world, let them become private institutions and pay their own freight.
