Dang, my kid didn’t get into any public CA University with a 4.2 GPA that was applied to.

Columbia just removed standardized tests from admissions, HYP I'm sure will soon follow. With major universities having no better admissions criteria than JCs, why not use the JC? Your kids can get most lower division done in high school if the classes aren't too impacted.

Here are the results of failing to use g-loaded standardized tests in admissions:

internally, universities and colleges are less about the education and more about jockeying for department power, the tenure system for the prof's, and the PERS system. Get tenure, you're golden, even if found in the janitors closet with a blow up doll. Tenure, PERS, undergrads and TA's doing the grunt work, lectures in crowded 200 seat halls. HIgher education has been broken for decades.

I am pretty sure the UCs have a different retirement system than PERS. UCRP I think it is. My neighbor is a professor she says it's better than STRS but IDK how it compares to PERS.
