Boondoggle U. | The Weekly Standard

Boondoggle U. | The Weekly Standard: " The brand new UC Merced, with a $100 million annual budget, got an exemption from the across-the-board cuts entailing layoffs, furloughs, and program eliminations at the other nine campuses, but that only seems to have exacerbated hard feelings within the UC system. Over the past couple of years, as California has spiraled downward into a 12 percent unemployment-generating recession, faculty and administrators at the more prestigious and prosperous campuses have either called openly for UC Merced’s closure or hinted at withdrawing their own well-endowed campuses from the state system and going private."

Shouldn't they spread the wealth around?  Pay their fair share?  Isn't their implicit mantra "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need?"
