More drama, please
The Regents voted 14-6 (not 16-4, Daily Cal) to raise minimum GPA requirements for eligibility at the university to 3.0. Cue overdramatic responses:
Editorial Cartoon: Look closely at what this cartoon is implying. Admitting people based on good performance in school academics is bad. What would be better is to admit them based on the things at the feet of the losers. That's right. Admit people who know how to play a flute (I think that's a flute). (In fairness, it looks like that flute is playing music without a player, so if any student can pull that off, maybe they do deserve an admission). Better yet, admit those that know how to paint. Or even play soccer. Also, paper does not fold in the manner that those notes with GPAs or "Rejected" on them do.
Anyway, check this out. Remember fist in the air = our group is right (or something). But note that students are crying and have to be consoled. These are students who are already in the UC system and thus unaffected. "Whaaaa, I'm crying like a little girl because... because.... umm..."
From the Planet:After the regents voted 14-6 for the increase, a crowd of some 25 to 30 student protesters stood up from their seats in the auditorium of UC San Francisco-Laurel Heights, chanting “Education is a right, not just for the rich and white” and “Is diversity what you fear? We know you don’t want us here.”
Well, at least they're not ignorant. The Regents definitely did not want them there.
