<p>Berkeley needs to completely revamp its image, and its approach to fundraising. It needs to focus 100% on endowment growth NOW. No more political stands, no more affirmative action, no more left wing agendas. The administration needs to do what is right for everyone at school, and that is to build a strong enough financial foundation that endowment returns can be plowed back into financial aid for all who need it. </p>
<p>No point “hoping” that the state will reinvest in higher ed. It won’t happen. Hope is not a strategy.</p>
<p>Unfortunately the Chancellor is pretty much useless at fundraising or in promoting the Unviersity as one of the top (private or public, who cares?) in the world. He has no connections, nor does he care to establish any.</p>
