I'm not a Californian, but as someone with considerable interest in American public higher education, the situation of the UCs and the other public systems in your state bums me out because for so long you guys have been so loving dope.

It's certainly not a situation where I can hold up another state that's doing better, but I'm curious how locals perceive/discuss this issue and where it might lead y'all in the future.
