Fundamental Problem Discovered
Not only did we discover the problem with society today, we also can find the fundamental problem with state management of the unviersity.
The fundamental problem is, state officials don't seem to realize how much work goes into operating a three-tier higher education system. Take just the smallest branch: The UC Office of the President alone has 1,800 employees that oversee the general operations of the 10-campus UC. If it takes that many people to oversee just one tier in the system, there's no way the state would be able to effectively coordinate all three. One more legislative ladle in the cooking pot doesn't make much of a recipe for educational success.
Actually, coordination of large, seperate branches is what government does. The fact that the branches are large is not an argument against coordination.
