For years UC Berkeley has been struggling with enrollment that exceeds the university’s and the surrounding community’s ability to accommodate all of the incoming students.
Some folks in the city of Berkeley consider the incoming students an invasive species. I wish that were the case at my diploma mill. Our state legislature hasn’t done anything to limit enrollment, and it probably won’t any time soon. This university is a cash cow, a ten ton teat filled with money.
Invasive species at this university? Nope. Just fresh fish.
Our student population is self-limiting. We’re a state school, so we accept everyone who applies. SAT scores mean nothing. If you have graduated from high school, can breathe, are somewhat ambulatory, and can sign your name (or have someone who can sign it for you), you are accepted. The university will love you. If you cannot take notes, you will be assigned a note taker. Can’t take a test? The university has that covered too. Can’t afford tuition? You can get a loan.
The university will continue love you even when you drop out or are forced out because you cannot pass the tests or conform to university rules and regulations.
Why? Because the university has your tuition money. You are expendable. There will be thousands more like you next year who will take your place, fail or drop out, and start the cycle all over again.
Our university’s unofficial motto: “In like Flynn, out like a light.
I attend a university in the mid-south. We have a beautiful campus with new buildings. Many of the classes are overcrowded, and the teachers suck. Enrollment has absolutely no limit. The students are, for a large part not college material. If you can breathe, you can get in. Like you said, it's up to the student to meet the standards, but there are SO MANY who just don't belong.
