Editorial: How many high-paying out-of-state students is enough for UC?

Here’s one big reason for admitting out-of-state students to the undergraduate ranks of the University of California: money. UC President Janet Napolitano has long claimed that the tripling of out-of-state enrollment over the past decade or so hasn’t harmed California students because the university didn’t reduce their numbers; it simply added more from out of state. Should schools be mainly reserved for California’s students, even if that means having to skimp on the university’s offerings for lack of money? Should its undergraduate schools be mainly reserved for California’s students, even if that means having to skimp on the university’s offerings for lack of money?
