Time for a few facts regarding fund raising. Among the premier public universities, UC Berkeley is holding its own.
For example, the current campaign to raise $6 billion by December 2023 has yielded $5.968 billion to date.
Michigan raised $5.280 billion against a target of $4.0 billion in a campaign that ended in 2018.
Washington raised $4.930 billion against a target of $5.0 billion in a campaign that ended in 2020.
(note: I was not certain whether the poster’s UW reference was to UDub or Wisconsin. Since there are no recent campaigns for Wisconsin noted in the data I reviewed, I selected Washington. Also, I could find no record of any recent fund raising campaigns by UVa).
As far as, “The UC’s do not treat their students well”, I must beg to differ. In fact, the UC’s provide an outstanding education. My wife and I and older daughter are all grads of a UC campus. All three of us believe the quality of the educational experience was superior. Personally, I didn’t care how the University treated me, I wasn’t there to be cuddled, I was there to earn a degree.
