College Stuff

Steve Greenhut looks at the real reasons behind the U.C. Board of Regents' tuition increase. Yep, just as it is with cities, counties and the rest of the state, it's about unfunded pensions.

John Seiler, over at CalWatchdog, looks back 50 years ago to the beginning of University of California's Free Speech movement. What it was and what it's become today. An slight error in the piece last I looked at it: Head honcho at U.C. is Janet Napolitano, not Janet Reno. He got the name half right.

Comedian Chris Rock tells Reason magazine why he and other performers no longer book shows at college campuses: College students are too "conservative", socially speaking.
