<p>Beyphy, I feel like the cost of purchasing and acquiring resources in LA (especially UCLA’s location in LA) is higher than in, say, Merced and Davis. Equalizing all UC campuses by numerical amount of dollars is pretty devastating for UCLA and probably UCSD (and maybe Berkeley?). Buying the components and paying for the work of preparing a cheeseburger is more expensive in LA, SF, and SD than in Merced, Davis, Riverside, Santa Cruz, Santa Barbara etc. Replace cheeseburger with things of actual merit to students. LA students aren’t really benefiting from the status quo right now (its pretty much equal in reality) and are standing to lose from this “reform.”</p>
