Congratulations to California for staying true to its mission to use education to help students get out of poverty. I don’t think they get enough credit for doing what they’ve done and continue to do. Truly heartening, when you consider that its outreach to low-income students has in no way undermined its place as a respected/prestigious institution - I’m referring not only to world-renown UCLA and Berkeley, but also Irvine and Davis, which have become attractive options for high-stats students. I wish other states will follow California’s lead.
